In a free will system such as this we need to overcome evolutionary  inertia in order to effect change. This drive moves us ahead and pushes  through previously held limits in individual and mass consciousness,  which have been in effect for ages. To make this phase transition to a  new style of functioning and to attain new levels of spiritualisation,  extremely high standards of psychological clarity (the degree we can  function without fear, delusion, denial, attachment) and God purity are  now required. God purity or the demonstration of unconditional love,  rather than becoming more en-lightened, now drives the initiation  process and phase shifts. As we develop and integrate God purity and  psychological clarity into our daily behaviour we progress, as these are  now the criteria for progress in the ascension process. 
 
 However, for this to be successful the physical bodies must adapt to the  new style of functioning. This process has not been adequately managed  so far, and we cannot make these quantum shifts into a new paradigm of  consciousness and spirit communion without new risk management  procedures. 
 
 Evolution normally occurs slowly so change can be integrated fully.  These days rapid evolution is occurring. Our higher bodies ( Buddhic,  Atmic, Monadic and Logoic) can adapt to the new flows more easily and  assimilate oneness and is-ness. Our lower bodies, due to their density,  struggle with this assimilation and experience the relative inertia of  limitation and resistance to change.
 
 In physics terminology, the lower bodies are more particulate and the  higher bodies are more wave-like. All bodies are made of matter and  matter either behaves like particles of energy or waves of energy.  For  example, above soul level (the soul is located in the 4th sub level of  the mental plane), it is predominantly wave-like.  Below soul level,  i.e. the lower mental, emotional, and physical bodies, the structures  are denser and more particulate; they simply cannot change as rapidly.  We can imagine how easily a coordinated ocean of waves can pull a  cross-directional wave into synch. In a mass of energy behaving as  discrete particles, changes are made by deconstruction and  reconstruction. Highly energized reactions or phase shifts occur under  specific and focused environments: by fission, fusion or ionic addition  or removal, by adding or removing protons, neutrons etc. This is very  different to the relative simplicity and ease of waves of energy  accepting and adapting to alterations in their pitch, amplitude,  frequency and direction. 
 
 As initiates reach higher initiations, they integrate higher frequency  bands of energy through their chakras and bodies. Initiations are like  tipping points and beyond a certain point when we take an initiation; we  require our bodies to change to incorporate these frequencies. Up until  now, when someone took the 4th or 6th initiation, milestones in the  personal growth or ascension process, it was very rare that their lower  bodies could adapt sufficiently.  The particles did not have the  flexibility to change quickly enough for the incoming high frequencies.  What has been happening is the critical organs associated with the  chakras that are upgrading could not change rapidly enough; and so on  taking these higher initiations people have manifested a disease or even  died. Sadly, the mystery schools and organisations guiding these  students, disciples, seekers or initiates did not have the knowledge to  educate them to adequately prepare and lighten their vital organs of  density to facilitate the transition. This is why we have seen so many  high level initiates, those advanced on the path, with major health  conditions, diseases of the heart and nervous system like brain tumors  and cancers. 
 
 When we take higher initiations our critical organs cannot be the last  organs to integrate change or it is likely these vital or associated  organs will stress, malfunction, fail or develop disease. By setting up  appropriate, on-going clearing and refinement frequencies, such as the  universally transformational energy in the violet band of frequencies  [known as the violet flame] through the chakras, transformation and  transmutation occurs in the associated organs. 
 
 In the ascension process, radical modification has to be made down to  the molecular level and this is a significant task. Groups and  individuals working towards personal growth or ascension, particularly  in this time of rapid growth, would be wise to incorporate strategies to  ensure they are adequately prepared. Such an integrated approach to  growth is what many individuals and groups have, through simple  ignorance, over-looked or mismanaged. 
 
 Before any individual arrives at a phase shift point, it is possible to  have predominantly cleared any remaining density that could cause major  resistance and problems in the vital organs. With the daily application  of simple, advanced care and clearing procedures,  initiates reaching a  phase transition point experience the main density and particulate  matter holding them back is located, say, in the bones and less vital  areas of the body, not in critical organs and systems. Aches in the  bones and headaches are uncomfortable, but not deadly and will continue  to be transformed. 
 
 With insight, guidance and certain processing disciplines incorporated  by individuals and groups, and with monitoring and management by others  who have been through such a process who are a “few steps ahead”, the  smooth transition into a new style of functioning can be supported and  the risks managed. Evolutionary inertia can be overcome and new,  wondrous dimensions embraced.
