Jennifer Hoffman – It would be so nice if ascension was a ‘done for you’ process so you could just sit back, relax, and it would all happen. But that is not the way it works and even with the best, strongest, most aligned, and powerful intentions, we are still part of a process that is partially dependent on the actions and energies of others. And we have agreed to stay within an energy range to participate in that process even though it slows our own ascension process down.
Confused? Surprised? Don’t be. If you’re here as part of your soul mission, and most of you are, then you agreed to participate in this ascension cycle and you also agreed to a few stipulations so you would stay within an energy frequency range so you could actually work at the 3D level and not float off into the energetic stratosphere.
I call these people Portal Keepers and they have an important mission of ascension protection.
They also have a sacred contract to participate in ascension and ensure its success, whatever it takes. They are not here to do all of the ascension work, just make sure that it gets done, the energy is here to achieve it, and that there is support for our ascension journey.
So to be clear, no one’s here to rescue, save, or magically transition us into 5D. No matter how much we wish that was true, it is not. We are in it for the long haul and that will be as long or as short as we make it. While it is true that we do not leave anyone behind, we also do not get to forge ahead of everyone at supersonic speed because we are still part of the collective ascension cycle. No one gets to get out too far ahead of the collective and you’ll hear why on the podcast version of this article.
No matter how much we try to appoint others to the position of arbiters of ascension, we are the one who are in charge of both sides, our own and where and how we participate in the collective. Our ascension journey is important because we are each part of and contribute to the whole, everyone is and everyone does. And everyone is important to the overall cycle in their unique way. That doesn’t mean that we are all participating in the same way, it means that we are all part of the process, light and dark, good and bad.
So with all of this help, knowledge, experience, and support, why aren’t we finished yet? Isn’t that the question we are always asking ourselves as we struggle through yet another series of energy downloads, shifts, and ascension cycles. We want the full ascension effect, with the healing and joy and peace and love, but we want the abridged version, without the pain, suffering, drama, trauma, and chaos.
But while we want ascension to be a ‘done for you’ process we are still the ones who are sitting behind the wheel of the car. Nothing happens if we do not put the key in the ignition, put the car in drive, and point it in the direction we want to go. Even after we get the car started, smooth ride is not guaranteed.
Sometimes we are traveling effortlessly down the highway, with the wide open road in front of us, breeze blowing our hair and some sing along 80s tunes on the radio. At other times we are stuck in traffic, inching along at a slow crawl, with no progress in sight, stuck behind miles of people heading in the same direction, just as stuck as we are.

The term ‘ascension takeout’ came to me during a client session when she was saying it was moving so slowly and that she was frustrated with the process. I know that a lot of people feel that way and they are also frustrated with the process. If it is so important and we are so spiritually awakened, why isn’t it over yet. But it is not that simple. It’s a process of alignment, integration, and manifestation and each step is important to the whole and occurs on its own, divine timing.
There is an important reason why the ascension path can appear to take so long and you feel like a step forward is accompanied by a huge step backwards. Each time you set an intention you also set a simultaneous process in motion that alerts you to everything that is blocking the expansion of the intention because other things are occupying that energetic space.
So an intention for joy creates the revelation of everything that is not joyful in your life.
An intention for harmony reveals everything that is out of alignment with harmony. Do you want a new job, more money, more success in your life? Get ready to be shown everything that is currently blocking those things so you can clear them.
The ‘ascension takeout’ that we think is a ‘done for you meal’ is actually a 12 course banquet that we have to create, starting with planning the menu and doing the grocery shopping. But that is not a bad thing because what we want is ‘true’ congruence and not a false congruence coverup.
We want a long term result, not a short term fix because this is a paradigm shift, for ourselves and for the planet into another dimensional plane. To create the lasting results that will empower us into the next infinity, we must clear up the limitations of the past that completely block our joy in the present.
Too often we are at war with the past, in the form of anger, regret, resentment, victim consciousness, and limitations from experiences which have led us to feel that we are powerless, with no control over our individual reality. And that is actually a true statement, because we believe it, until we clear out all of the energy that those beliefs occupy in our energy field.
Every emotion is an energy with its own energetic frequency and signature and every energy holds a space in our energy field. When these energies are inconsistent and misaligned with our higher intentions, we must decide whether they stay or go. And sometimes that involves the people who are part of these energies too.
Every person in our life is part of our energy field and participates in a specific frequency and energy signature with us, so when our new intentions for peace, joy, love, and prosperity clashes with their energy of drama, misery, unhappiness, fear, and limitation, either they have to change or we have to change our relationship with them and sometimes that means they have to leave our energy field and our life.
As much as we focus on ascension we also have to consider transcension, the upward movement of our energetic frequency (ascension) is accompanied by an outward and expanded movement of our energy field, which is transcension. We cannot have one without the other and when the outward expansion is limited by energy blocks the upward expansion stops too. That’s when we feel stuck, limited, blocked, and start looking at making changes.
This is part of the ‘awakening’ process and it is happening with exponentially strong frequency now. We want to go up and enjoy the blessings but we also have to expand and clear out old energies and frequencies that prevent us from fully aligning with and integrating the new 5D frequencies.
Is the ascension process worth all of this? Absolutely but it is not ‘done for you’ nor is it the quick takeout meal you can call in and pick up when you do not feel like cooking. While it is a natural part of our energetic evolution, it takes effort to do the integration work that is required. Everyone gets to the point where they have to make the energetic choices to keep their limitations and blocks in place or move them out of the way.
And when we’re willing to make those choices so we can be aligned with the energy we want in the present moment and not live from past energy, we can experience the power and potential that are possible when we are fully aligned with and can integrate the highest frequencies into our lives.
No it is not ‘ascension takeout’ or ‘done for you’ but it can be a wonderful, enjoyable banquet and feast that we can savor and remind ourselves that a full meal is healthier than takeout anyway and it takes a lot longer to eat, when done right. And sometimes cooking for ourselves is fun and a way to slow down, live intentionally, and find joy in the simple, self awareness of life lived with intention.
