Ascension, to me, is evolution. I believe evolution occurs along a line of expanding awareness. For example, from self-awareness to collective awareness.
Cool. Thanks. Is that also what the OP is talking about? Ascension relates to evolution?
I just mean, what would you expect an evolved human to look like or behave like?
Well, isn't that what we are? Or are you talking about modern humans exhibiting a new mutation?
What about higher intelligence? Expanded awareness? The definition of progression indicates that it is progressing towards something, doesn't it?
Well, again I don't think the theory of evolution indicates any species progressing. Life adapts to new conditions and it either is successful or not.
As far as humans go what do you believe will prompt speciation, or another successful mutation?

I believe we have free will, but it is an illusion. I believe free will is used for the acquisition of knowledge(vs. wisdom) which is used for the progression of materialism. I believe when you go with the flow of nature you are letting go of your false sense of self and existing as part and one with the all whereby you act according to nature and you are no longer carrying out your will, rather it is the will of God.
If it is my will to fly, I can't just will myself in the sky. Therefore free will is limited by the facet of your being and therefore not really free at all.
you cant have an illusion. You cant have free will without knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom and knowledge go hand and hand you can't have one without the other. Materialism is something that controls 99% percent of the worlds population but if you have gained wisdom and knowledge and you are"self-enlightened" you'll realize there's no need for such things.If you go with the flow of your higher conscious you can still let go of the false sense of self.mankind only recognizes itself as such by the conception of self place upon by society. in other word we are able to draw a conclusion about the process of self realization that occurs in the brain in terms of whether the person perceives personal sovereignty. who is god where is god. If we become one with god does that make us gods? Who says you can't fly maybe you don't know enough about the human body and how it works to fly.

to me it's not just the dna altering we are actually going to ascend out of our bodies into light beings but that's just what i think.

Duality is an illusion because it is not this. And materialism further propagates the illusion by keeping us from seeing our true self as part and one with nature whereby we were aware of the original illusion as being an illusion. Now we are so far from being aware of the original illusion due to our false sense of self created by materialism. It is an illusion because it gives us a false sense of reality(self).
Wisdom comes from the harmonious interaction between you and your true self as part and one with nature. Knowledge comes from the objective interaction between you and nature covered by a veil of materialism.
Wisdom works for the quality of your being the way knowledge works for the quality of your false being(your materialistic being).
You can't have free will with wisdom, because at that point you are carrying out the will of the creator. Albeit, you are part of the creator and it is your will as well.
So the question is, are you carrying out the will of your true self (dualistic expression of the unified creator), or are you carrying out the will of your false self (materialistic expression of the human creation)?
One of those is a much more substantial than the other.

I mean, on this planet, there will be a higher being than what a human is currently. Just like millions of years ago, this planet knew of no higher intelligence. Now it does. And eventually there will be even higher.
Conditions are progressing are they not? So, according to what you said, since the conditions are progressing, shouldn't human adaptation follow suit. Hell, we're evolving all the time.
Speciation could occur if an E.T. race landed here and intervened with our normal way of life. Any kind of paradigm shift like that would be enough, I think, to precipitate a genetic change. Also, if you think about the impact materialism has had on the human condition, you could see how the end of materialism could be a great enough paradigm shift to alter our DNA.

I can show you God, but you might not believe me. I can show you his will, but you might choose to believe his will is what you want to believe his will is. Therefore, showing you anything doesn't actually show them anything. Unless you are really open to the idea of being shown. Unless you first admit that you don't know already. Until you do that, you won't learn anything.

It didn't?? I thought the last known mutation of homos sapiens sapiens led to organized civilizations and contribution to the acceleration of knowledge and control over our destiny.
