Stages of Ascension During The Shift

The Archangels Tell Us What to Expect

If you take a look at the majority of channeled messages lately, posted on several platforms, whether through channels of various high Guides or from several psychic mediums, it won’t take you long to see a common theme running through many of them regarding this year of 2025, and it revolves around change.  Sometimes the messages shared talk about change in the world, in the country, how chaos will lead to change, how the work of lightworkers will be magnified, and lots more, but so much of what we’re hearing revolves around change, and really, that change revolves around people.

The Shift of the Earth from 3D to 5D started several years ago, and it is now in full swing, and we are all changing because of it.  I’ve been sharing the Angels’  messages for about five years now, and looking back, they kind of started with reviewing some symptoms many of us have noticed and experienced, moved on to how we can best deal with these changes, and these days, they seem to focus on transitioning to a closer relationship with the Universe.  I asked the Archangels to explain more of these changes, and they ended up describing stages we’re going through, and I found this very interesting.  As I received the message, I could trace my own evolution over the past several years.  Take a look and see if any of this sounds familiar.

Question:  You’ve said we’re all changing.  For those of us who are aware of this, there seem to be a lot of similarities, even though we progress in our own ways.  What started out as many of us feeling differently and becoming more aware of what was going on in the world seems to have progressed to feeling our own power and becoming closer to the Universal connection you’ve spoken about for so long.  Can you please give us more details about what we might expect?

Answer:

This is an important and timely topic, and we can offer a variety of possible scenarios, but first we wish to stress that, while there are similar occurrences for some people, everyone’s journey is unique to them, and no two people will have the same experience, although some will share similar aspects.

For the sake of this discussion, we will address the current and upcoming changes for people on Earth in very simplified stages we will label as preparation, beginning, middle, and final stages.  Of course, each stage has multiple parts and various effects that differ from person to person, but perhaps this will help to put some things into perspective. 

Generally speaking, the further a person is in their spiritual journey, the further along in these phases they will be.  This is by design.  As souls prepared for these current incarnations, they were already divided into these categories in terms of planning their earthly lives.  In order for the planet to assume the positive changes awaiting in the fifth dimension, all of these stages must be represented in order for The Shift to take place and progress.

As is obvious, there are people who continue to cling to the 3D energetic symptoms of fear, anger, control over others, resistance to change and living in survival mode.  These people are needed and play an important role to help others realize the changes needed.  Some of these people will overcome these habits and others will not.  Those who do not progress will remain uncomfortable on 5D Earth, as the energy of 5D does not support them.  This is the preparation stage. 

This includes people who react to the dimensional changes with fear and resist them.  Some will eventually open to new possibilities, begin their spiritual journey, and progress to the beginning stages, while others will stubbornly try to hold onto the past and refuse to be open to change of any kind.

The next stage is the beginning phase, when people begin to feel differently, often not knowing why, and they begin to see things more clearly and notice things that need to change.  Inequality and abuse of others enters the forefront of their consciousness, and they are unable to push it aside, as they’ve done in the past.  They often revisit past trauma, so they can begin to heal from it, and they want to embrace change for themselves and the world, even if they do not know how to facilitate that change or what it will look like.

Although this stage can be confusing and at times uncomfortable as people process and heal from past trauma, it can also feel very freeing and exciting.  Many people begin to reevaluate their life and redefine what a good life entails. Some will begin to move towards living a more fulfilling life based on what is important to them personally, rather than what society defines as important.  A new sense of power begins to rise, along with a rejection of doing what you have been told without question.

Also, many will begin to question societal norms, boundaries, demands, and religious and spiritual beliefs as they begin to feel their own power, and many will make adjustments that take intuition and thinking from the heart over the mind into consideration.  They will often feel like assuming more control over their own lives while releasing the need to control others, and they are likely to resist being controlled by others.

Another common aspect of this phase is learning to choose an emotional response, rather than being at the mercy of their emotions and reacting without thought to a situation.  You become more aware of and resistant to manipulation by others, as you become the master of your own emotions and no longer allow others to activate or prey on your emotions.

This is by no means a linear process.  Part of being human is experiencing emotions and no one is in total control of their emotions at all times.  However, when a particular emotion is triggered, perhaps by a traumatic experience in the past or present, people in the beginning phase begin to recognize the triggers and get control over their emotions sooner rather than later, so they can reclaim their joy and peace more quickly than in the past.  Because they are more self-aware, they recover more quickly, and the 5D energy supports them in this.  This is a very mental/emotional component of a person’s evolution.

The middle phase of 5D ascension often includes discovering and utilizing psychic gifts, which often arise during the beginning phase but are not yet fully understood or utilized.  This period usually includes more self-awareness and the continued realization that there is so much more than you realized regarding yourself, the world, the Universe, and so much more.  More, more, more!  There is often a strong desire to discover and understand more about the life’s purpose, the role you can play when you embrace your power, and it often includes a restlessness that bids you to do more to help others or to be true to yourself and your needs, rather than play to the dictates of others.  Many people in this stage of evolution pursue new careers that offer more personal fulfillment and/or allow them to make a positive difference in the world and in the lives of others.

Whereas the beginning phase centers on self-discovery, the middle phase builds on that and begins to feel the universal connection shared with all living things.  This connection furthers a shift from wanting to control others to what our channel refers to as a “live and let live” ideology.  Also, you begin to see more similarities between you and others more intensely than the differences, and you can see your own face in the face of others.  The Universal connection you share with all of life begins to strengthen and make itself not only known, but felt.  You want a better world not only for yourself, but for all.

Many become more sensitive to the energy around them at this time, including the energy of other people.  Not only do many feel more empathetic toward others, but they can determine who has a more compatible vibration to their own.  This new sensitivity to energy often leads to changes in relationships in terms of who you are comfortable with and who you are not.  It is important to remember that everyone is on their own timeline, and while some people progress quickly spiritually, others require more time to adjust to the 5D energetic changes.  It does not mean some are better, smarter, more advanced, favored, right, wrong, good, bad, etc.  Everyone is different, and life plans and purposes vary greatly from person to person.

The last stage of change involves and focuses on the person’s energetic system, as well as the spiritual system, and this phase is never ending and will continue throughout the end of the lifetime, as it is impossible to attain all universal knowledge as a human being.  People can, however, gain more and more knowledge through the end of their life.

In order to access parts of this knowledge, there is a transition involving a loosening of the tether connecting a person to the Earth, although it is never completely severed, and a tightening of the tether connecting the person to the Universe.  It is the Universe that holds and will share the knowledge you seek as you move into this final phase, and this stronger merging with the Universe requires some changes to the energetic system of the person who will experience this. 

Of all these phases, this final phase varies the most from person to person.  High Guides are always involved in the process according to the spiritual team identified in each person’s life plan, and the arrangements made by the soul before incarnation.  Help is needed to adjust the tethers to the Earth and Universe, and in most cases, people in this phase are in contact with their Guides so that they may learn how to access Universal energy and blend it with their own energy.

In most cases, psychic gifts are strengthened and evolve in different ways that afford more access and use of the new energy accessed through the Universe.  This is an evolution on all fronts for the person, on a personal growth level, on his or her life purpose, and often in regards to working with more Guides and accessing more guidance, clarity, and information than ever before.

It can be both exciting and intimidating at times, depending on the person experiencing these changes, and often initially uncomfortable due to such noticeable changes, and the addition of new knowledge and gifts.  For some, it is a purging of old energy that no longer serves, as well as adding on more and different energy that will help the person evolve.  There is often a calm, a storm, and finally smooth sailing for a time, which often repeats itself, depending on background, purpose, and life plan.  It is not easy, but it is rewarding.

Twenty years ago, virtually all people on Earth were in the preparation stage, still living in a 3D reality.  The Shiftbegan in earnest in 2012 after the placement of the energetic grid at the Earth’s center in 2011, which started the planet’s ascension into 5D.  ten years ago, the majority of people were in the beginning stage of ascension, feeling different but not knowing why.  Since then, many have moved into the intermediate stages, and more are added to that group daily, although many continue to make progress in the beginning phases.  In almost all cases, once a person begins to make progress, they move forward steadily. In other words, once a person begins to awaken, it is unlikely he or she will ever go back to the 3D paradigm completely. There are bound to be setbacks from time to time, but once one awakens, they rarely return to being unaware, even if they wish to do so.

This is not a race, and there are no winners or losers, remember.  All of the people on Earth are changing, but the pace is different for everyone, and all progress is notable and wonderful.  So much progress has been made that the collective consciousness has ascended beyond the point of ever being compromised. 

Now is the time that many souls who incarnated for the purpose of being what some call lightworkers are moving into the final phases of this 5D ascension process.  It is not limited to lightworkers, but it is a natural progression for many.  This is a common step for those whose souls are spiritually advanced, many who have lived and evolved through many lifetimes, those who were created for divine purpose, as well as those souls who originated from other spiritually advanced worlds who agreed to incarnate on Earth to help with The Shift.

These people are self-aware and focused on the Big 4 and evolving spiritually on an individual level.  They know that, in order to help others, they must first help themselves.  They are aware that there is much more to life than their human senses are able to perceive, and they are willing to open up their hearts and minds to new knowledge and change.  For most, this has included personal struggles and uncertainty along the way, but they have prevailed and continue to evolve.  It is not an easy path, but they continue to choose to travel upon it.

There are many who will read this and want to jump straight to the advanced stages and experience these final manifestations of the human journey, because they are curious, excited, ambitious, and determined to be the best version of themselves and to help as many people as possible.  To these people, we say these are wonderful goals that you can reach by going back to basics.  Know yourself.  Evaluate and reevaluate your life.  Focus on building your life around the Big 4, joy, hope, love, and peace, and commit to opening your heart and mind to change, and seek to connect with your soul and high Guides.

Be patient and kind to yourself and others, even those who are not evolving as quickly as you would like and continue to try your patience.  If you do these things, you will progress at your own pace, and you will gain knowledge and guidance as you are supposed to, at the right time for you, and remember to focus on the journey rather than the perceived destination, for the destination will continue to change, as will you.  In truth, there is no destination, only moving forward and making progress.

We are so happy to see so many of you evolving.  We remain ready to help and guide you as you continue to make progress.  Call on us at any time, and we will become part of your life and your journey.

Final Thoughts

Sometimes, I get impatient, and I’m always so curious about the things that are coming in terms of my progression and ascension.  Will I experience astral travel?  Will I visit the Akashic records?  Will I remember past lives?  What new Guides will I meet and work with?  Wouldn’t it be cool to …?  That’s the wrong focus, though.  It’s not strictly about me and my experiences.  It’s about assisting others and The Shift and becoming the best version of me. 

I sometimes ask the Angels what I need to do to move things along, to make more progress, and to grow into my purpose, so I can help others, and they patiently tell me to chill out (not in those words, necessarily).  They tell me I’ll get more guidance and clarity as it’s needed, and that things like this shouldn’t be rushed, they should be experienced and absorbed slowly but surely.  I’m always working on trusting the process as well as trusting myself, and I remind myself that I’m not alone in this journey.  My Guides haven’t let me down yet, and I know they have my back.  Things will happen as they are supposed to happen, and I need to take a back seat and let them develop, instead of trying to steer and control them.  Easier said than done, but I’m working on it.

As they said, this is not a linear process.  Sometimes, we’ll move forward, and other times, we’re likely to take a few steps back, but it’s important to remember we’re headed in the right direction.  Don’t worry about what other people are doing or if they’re with the program.  Worry about and focus on yourself and your own journey.  If the actions of others dominate your thoughts, along with fear and/or anger, you need to reevaluate and remind yourself that it’s not about controlling others, it’s about controlling, as well as sometimes relinquishing control, over yourself.

I hope you have a great weekend.  Don’t forget to assess where you’re at regarding the Big 4, joy, hope, love, and peace.  Do you need to replenish any of those areas?  Make time for that this weekend!  If you’re free and interested, please consider joining us for Friday night meditation.  The intention for March is personal peace of mind.  Whenever you’re available, from wherever you find yourself, just call on the Archangels and ask for their healing energies to join with your own energy and focus on finding peace of mind, regardless of what is happening in the world.  Ask them to help you create your own mental oasis from the chaos and turmoil that sometimes surround us.  It’s well worth the time and effort spent.

Blessings, all.
