My Biggest Ascending Spiritual Awareness.
Spiritual Consciousness
Good call Mystic. It is an important thread to have started. For those who wish to participate, it will likely validate, restore and even enhance these states as have occurred for them.
In my boyhood, when very young before the culture I grew up in invalidated such natural faculties, I did have relatively frequent states of being spiritually aware. That is, I perceived spiritually and was aware of spiritual things. But, being spiritually illiterate and growing up in a culture that saw all this as being “childhood imaginations,” I had nothing to align or understand these awarenesses with; and so they were lost to superimposed scientific think that man is only a bunch of atoms in aligned but random action.
But my most important spiritual ascension and transforming spiritual experience, more so than any I’ve already written on on this board, occurred in London in April, 1968.
I had been having wonderful wins as a staff member on London Day & Foundation. On the last Thursday of March that year, I acted to report misdeeds by the acting ED (relieving Ellen Jones while at Flag on OT3) and his wife the HCO Exec Sec that had crashed the stats from a Condition of Power (as Ellen had left them) to Non-Existence---this done in seven miserable days. Per Policy, I by-passed a Danger Condition, and telexed WW the info they needed.
The response was an SO Mission comprising the same twits that had crashed St Hill and WW and shot Reg Sharpe out of hand (and lied about him to LRH) in the latter part of 1967 (or was it early ’68?).
The outcome was that I was assigned a Condition of Enemy, and physically routed out of the org premises and off of staff. Enemy in those days was the lowest Eth Condition . . . and due to idiot think that failed to understand actual policy, it equated as SP in their dull little minds; hence the stupid response of routing me out of the org and off staff.
I knew I was not the enemy in this parade of nonsense, but I did have some responsibility in the matter that I had to assume or recover . . . as in, I had failed to prevent it, at least. And so I wanted to find out what enemy conditions might have existed within myself that could have blinded me to the forces at hand or which might have led to or enabled the situation to occur.
Thus I set to to see what I could learn that would enable me to better prevent such stupidities in the future. And I carried out the formula for the Condition of Enemy.
But it was carried out from the perspective of me establishing (or reconfirming) with certainty who and what the real me is in the context of what is my true state of existence, powers, abilities, virtues, capacities, intentions, actions, etc.
In order to do that I resorted to all the basics: the Axioms (Dn and Scn), the Logics and Pre-Logics, the Factors and the Axioms of SOP 8-C, to see if I could spot what might help me. I already knew all this stuff pretty much verbatim, but the exercise was one wherein I would read and digest each point while comparatively applying to myself.
The ascension happened while digesting the Axioms of SOP 8-C, on the point of DUPLICATION — “FUNDAMENTAL: The basic action of existence is duplication.” (LRH has some rather neat things to say on duplication in those particular axioms)
I suddenly saw and experienced that I am a true total spiritual Beingness capable of perfectly duplicating, as is, all conditions of existence, all actions and deeds and stupidities of others; their good and their evil; that I am able to fully know myself and others, and that I can choose what conditions of existence I allow to continue to persist but conditions I choose not to have continue to exist I can change and undo simply by wholly duplicating them, as is, and evaporating their existence.
It was an amazing experience. It totally blew my “zorch.” I felt fully omni-responsible, caring, influencing and causative. All the evil that had been leveled against me I saw evaporating as I permeated it fully and duplicated it perfectly in the manner described in the Scn axioms. I suddenly felt I had no enemies, anywhere! All could be made friends. I experienced the ability to undo all oppositions, evils, counter-intentions, etc., while at the same time being able to experience, honor and validate wanted worthwhile conditions.
This was a colossal change for me, for up till that time my instinct and automaticities had me either ignoring or otherwise opposing, fighting or resisting evil and those who disagreed with me or invalidated me . . . . I did not duplicate and as-is the unwanted, but instead unwittingly caused it to persist and ridge up on and against me!
That was a colossal ascension to hugely higher awareness and abilities.
But stage two of the ascension was the best part of all. It occurred the next day, late in the morning.
On April 6th, 1968, I was walking up Hampstead Hill (it’s a famous road in N.W. London) and ahead of me was a little old lady slowly walking under the weight of her shopping bags. As I connected with her, I spiritually perceived what a lovely Being she was; but I also perceived she was struggling under suppressed pain.
As I drew up beside her and really felt how wonderful a person she was, I said to her, “Would you like me to help you and carry your bags up the hill for you?”
She turned her bent body to look at me, and the most wonderful, loving and appreciative smile shone from her face, and spiritually she totally opened up to me, actually embracing me. “Yes, thank you!”
But while she was saying that and rearranging her hands to pass the bags I found myself wholly spiritually present with her, totally, perfectly duplicating her and her conditions, the total truth of them as is, such that the untoward conditions were evaporating “before my eyes” as I did so, while the good and wanted remained and were enhanced.
It was a most amazing experience to be feeling the energy of these unwanted, troublesome conditions of hers blowing off as I permeated them, viewing them as is. And it was also amazing to see her actually straightening up and youthful delight returning to her face. And of huge interest to me personally was the finding that throughout the whole action I could concurrently perceive and recognize both the unwanted, untoward conditions to be undone, along with and in comparison to the wanted, ideal conditions to be maintained or restored and enhanced.
It was as though she shed twenty or so years of aging wear and tear by our mutual action.
It was an amazing experience we were sharing, and one of total love and appreciation between Beings at a spiritual level.
As she passed me the bags, she again said, “Thank you.” But this time with far more sparkle in her eyes and smile. Before me stood a younger, taller woman than the one I had first encountered.
And I said, “You are welcome. Not everyone you meet on the street is an enemy.” And I was smiling ear to ear for I knew what I was talking about.
But the key to this particular spiritual awareness experience is that it was not me alone . . . it was me relating to another!
You see, most of my other great ascensions were really only to do with me alone. I ascended and had a huge awareness . . . so what! Where does that get you?
This game of life is to do with relationships and relating. It is to do with other people being connected to you and how you handle and process that connectedness. Screw that up and you are for the shit heap! That’s what the order of magnitude of this particular state of ascended spiritual awareness was for me as compared to my other major ascensions (some of which I have posted on ESMB).
Then as my new friend and I walked up the hill together, I began to notice that the first bursts of spring rebirth in the form of buds and shoots on the trees and other plants in the gardens were occurring. And I grokked that too, for it also had special significance to me that day.
A year to remember was 1968, in more ways than one.

Well done!
