Comment by Twiddly:

The Tahirih Path is the path of evolution to ascension.
I will seek posts in this community /Saviors of Saviors of Earth is a community for those seeking the path of evolution / on evolution to see where the Tahirih path can plug-in or get up to speed on the evolution path posted here.

Evolution, in the context I used for the site's tagline, simply implies development, maturation, a process of growth. If, for you, ascension is maturation, then by-all-means share with the group the "how" and the "why." But, as member "Jesus Cries" stated, be prepared for push-back since some of the members do not believe in ascension, especially as depicted in your post. (For anyone interested in reading more about the symbol, please click here for the original image.)

Let me get personal for a moment and speak to my own personal path of evolution. I am not, at present, an atheist. My evolution is steering me in the direction of secular humanism with a strong movement towards the atheist side of the belief spectrum, landing me currently at the agnostic marker of that spectrum. At some point I shifted, and I feel strongly that my shift is one of maturation. The comfort of spirituality, the comfort of divine purpose, the comfort of the idea that my individuality will transcend death... they are comforts that I no longer need. Imagine the vast amount of energy that one frees for experience in the here-and-now when one lets go of the search for purpose beyond the here-and-now. Imagine if every moment you spent listening to alleged messages from higher beings, beings that are completely unverifiable, were spent instead understanding the life that is right here, helping your fellow man, enjoying the company of your loved ones. What a beautiful world we would live in if we fully spent our energy on knowing this world. If you find yourself resisting these ideas and needing the comforts I listed, it's OK. Just realize that plenty of people find both religion and spirituality to stagnate their maturation. I recommend an author who has been mentioned on this site before, Richard Dawkins, and refer you to this excerpt from a lecture at Berkeley last year.

yeah but most of us here dont believe in ascension, mostly because people like brad johnson have demonstrated time and time again that these new age beliefs are nothing more than scams aimed at the wishful and gullible folks who do not realize that without your body, your brain... there is no you. So to claim that one magical day you or everyone else on this planet will "shed" their bodies and and enter a higher dimension of existence seems quite outrageous to claim in face of lack of evidence or rather evidence of the contrary.
