New age channelling and writing is full of promises of becoming something more than we already are.  But we have never been anything less than perfect and eternal.

The confusion comes with the identity of the seeker.  If we think we are the body or the mind or the subtle body (ie: thoughts, feelings dreams, astral projections, etc) then there is always something more to become, some additional experience (including ascension and enlightenment) that will complete it. 

If, however, you have gained the knowledge of your true identity (and it is not a 4th, 5th dimensional being, a pleadian, an angel or any other anthropomorphic entity) then you are free from the incessant seeking and the need to become anything.

Right now you are the simple awareness of all those objects.  This awarness knows the mind, the body and the subtle body. It is you and as such has never been a moment out of reach.  It only seems at times to be inaccessable because of a cloudy mind. So, even though you are simply this awareness there is a mind that will not accept this.  It must have its dreams, hopes and struggles or it is lost.  This is understandable, but here is the most important part to realize:  it is not the mind's fault.  It has simply been led down the garden path by an egoic structure and knows only what this structure tells it.  What we need to do is to redirect the mind to the quiet, simple awarness.  If the mind is clear enough to do this, a profound sense of peace will be known.
