Ascended mastery

A level of experience that is transcendent of incarnation.
A level of mastery that includes the ability to circumvent the laws that appear to govern form and substance.
The highest form of human embodiment and functioning, which includes the highest stage of embodiment and also transcends embodiment.
The highest level of experience of the human bodymind system.
The highest range of expression of the human bodymind system.
The stage of human evolution that transcends incarnation.
Ascended mastery is the culmination of the human journey and the penultimate stage of human evolution. The ultimate stage of human evolution is fully being Divinity/God/Source with the memory of human individuality.
Human evolution leads naturally to ascended mastery.
In an awakened society, it is common for humans to become ascended masters.
One can operate at the level of ascended mastery in consciousness while the incarnational body is still present.
Operating at the level of ascended mastery while the incarnational body is still present accelerates the transfiguration of the body.
Those who realize ascended mastery while incarnated need not experience the death process. In such cases, the body may simply disappear.
While ascended mastery transcends incarnation, at the level of ascended mastery it is possible to emanate a body that is perceivable, and tangible if required.
There are levels of mastery beyond ascended mastery. These could be called Supreme Mastery or apex mastery.

Sayings:

“Most ideas about ascended mastery are still rooted in delusion. One who could be called an ascended master has transcended all ideas of ascended mastery.”
