Time for Ascension

Time for Ascension.

Wake up.
You're sleeping.
Life is happening.
Who is controlling you?

Let's take your recovery from the 3rd to the 5th dimension. 👇


Sober but bored.
Sober but disassociated.

You're a non-playing character. Each day is just the like last. Don't you want more?

Most people live on auto-pilot (built-in programming navigates responses to life.) Programming that has been written for you (by people and circumstances early in life.) Programming that is made up of beliefs, narratives, stories, and identities (all of which are not true.)


Three decades of auto-pilot landed me in a mental facility. Limiting beliefs skewed my worldview and caused depression.

I never stopped to question my triggers.

I never stopped to question anything.

I was stuck in the 3rd Dimension. This is where addiction is born. Moving from the 3rd to the 5th dimension is the ascension from addict to recovery.

What is a Dimension? A Dimension is not a place. It is a point of awareness, AKA a perspective. This means in the 3rd Dimension you have access to three different ways of viewing your world.

đź’ˇ
When you experience a book, person, situation, or memory in a new way that totally shifts your reality, you are accessing a "higher" dimension.
 

3rd Dimension:

While in the 3rd Dimension we are governed by three components:

~~EGO (external life conditions) (as explained here)
~~Instinct (beastal reactions)
~~Conscioussness (baseline existence)

In 3D, perspective is given to us. Basically, you are operating at the minimum expectation of a human.

4th Dimension:

The 4th Dimension contains all components of the 3rd but adds:

~~Mind (strategy and logic)

From the mind's perspective, you can strategize and reason. The components of the 3rd dimension are closed, meaning they are related to your individual experience. In the 4th, you become connected to the collective. You are tuning into discernment about others' motives.

In 4D, perspective shits into third-person perspective. You become the observer.

5th Dimension:

The 5th Dimension contains all of the components of the 3rd and 4th but adds:

--Emotion (processing feelings)

This perspective integrates the nervous system when interacting with the world around us. We learn how to communicate effectively with our emotions. For example, by noticing emotional triggers as signs pointing toward healing.

In 5D, perspective is created by processing and feeling emotions.

đź’ˇ
As we ascend into higher dimensions, we will get better at toggling between them to respond to situations. The more skilled we are at knowing which perspective to use, the more balanced, regulated, and healthy we become. For example, we are in a car accident. 3D governs basic body reactions to protect ourselves during the impact. Also, 3D may respond with a narrative about how careless we are. 4D allows us to strategize movements afterward, survey the scene, and check on others. In 5D we breathe, calm our nervous system, show compassion for ourselves and others, and embody the knowingness that this was attracted into our experience for a divine purpose.
 

 

How does one move through these dimensions in the recovery process:

3rd Dimension (active addiction)
4th Dimension (substance/behavior free)
5th Dimenison (recovery)

Most get stuck in the 4th Dimension. In this state, you are substance-free but not recovered from addiction. You haven't begun the work to heal.

5D Recovery characteristics:

-Open-mindedness
-Limiting beliefs identified
-Life is created solely by you
-Emotional triggers are learning
-No longer identified with addiction
-No separation between you and others

Auto-pilot is off; You are writing your story.

đź’ˇ
Take each characteristic above and rate yourself 1-5. Then, journal about each one. Some possible questions are 1) Why did I rate myself at that number? 2) What could I do to increase this number? 3) What is in the way? 4) What is working? 5) What is my action plan for each moving forward?

Which dimension are you operating under?

You don't have to feel invisible in your own life. An ascended, higher version of yourself awaits in the 5th dimension.

Finding Purpose In Chemsex Recovery
  Sitting in a circle with 8 heterosexual people of various genders, none of whom with a history of crystal methamphetamine use.  Working with drug counselors who had never heard the word "Tina" before. That was my treatment experience. Also, my probation experience. Also, my drug court experience.  Lonely. Misunderstood. Lacking expertise. Culturally incompetent.  I knew what I wanted to do...
Building Community Beyond the Grid: Connection Without Compromise
Listen to Podcast    Watch Podcast Here  When I think about my early days in recovery, one of the hardest transitions wasn't giving up crystal—it was giving up the community that came with it. As isolating as active addiction was, there was paradoxically a whole ecosystem built around it. Dealers who knew my name. Buddies I'd see every weekend. A shared language and rituals that made me feel...
