Life is happening all the time. We are always in the present moment, but our minds’ attention wanders into thoughts about the past and future. The mind easily gets into the habit of living in anticipation of future events: “What am I going to make for dinner . . .. I have to get to work I am running late . . . 20 minutes left, and I can go home . . . I can’t wait for this weekend.”

Because of this habitual movement of the mind, we miss the glory, beauty and peace that are ever present now. We do not recognize that in every moment of every day we are making choices. With each choice we make, we create something. This is nothing to fear for it is already happening all the time. However, we have a choice to be a victim to our circumstances and other people, blaming others for what happens to us, or we can become a conscious creator.

In this podcast, we discuss What is Ascension? What is Dharma? How does my choice affect others?

The Ascension Attitudes, the techniques of Ascension, are designed to facilitate this process. In each and every moment we have a choice. We may not have known this until now, but now that we know we can begin to create anew.

Ascension brings us in touch with the present moment, and what is happening in life now, inside and out. From this perspective we can much more easily and gracefully set the sail of our life. The universe is always providing the wind.
