Unlocking the Gateway to Higher Self (Ch. 1–4)

My ascension journey doesn’t end here; in fact, this is just the beginning. Inthe past, spiritual masters who had paid their karma and purified their chakras often had to leave Earth because their physical bodies could not sustain the high vibrations. Nowadays, individuals at this stage receive a thin layer in their etheric body that helps keep the cells of the body together, allowing those who have transcended the cycle of rebirth to remain on this planet.

After experiencing several significant shifts in my energy body, I began the journey of embodying my Higher Self — our creator and spiritual parent, as we are all fractal expressions of a greater, higher consciousness. This experience happened energetically, and you might wonder, “Where does the Higher Self reside within our body?” As you may know, our spiritual heart, including Heart Chakra, is the energy center in the chest that governs love, compassion, and emotional connection, facilitating our ability to give and receive love (see image Ch. 1–4).

As I delved deeper into the spiritual heart during my meditation and followed the guidance from the Masters, I sensed that there were a few other chambers. Behind the Heart Chakra lies the Sacred Heart — the source of emanating love — which serves as a wellspring of intuition and inner guidance, acting as a portal connecting us to the higher realms. While exploring the Sacred Heart, I saw my Personal Etheric Crystal that held all my past life records had transformed from a rectangular emerald-green crystal into a heart-shaped aquamarine crystal when my chakras were 100% purified. Everyone has a unique Personal Etheric Crystal within the Sacred Heart, each with different shapes and colors.

After my Personal Etheric Crystal left my Sacred Heart and became part ofmy Celestial Star (which eventually resides in my 12th Chakra,), I was able to see a round cave doorway leading to my Holy Heart, which is referred to as the “Holy of Holies”. This sacred space is where our Higher Self resides when descending into our physical body, allowing us to become One with our Higher Self. The Holy Heart is located within the Sacred Heart, and the Personal Etheric Crystal acts as a protective barrier before the Higher Self begins its descent.

The first time I discovered the entrance to my Holy Heart, it appeared like a cave — though everyone’s doorway may look different. I saw a round stone roll to the side, signaling that the door was opening and granting me permission to enter this sacred space. This happened just before my Higher Self anchored in my Holy Heart, so all I could see was a dim Light coming from the entrance.

A few days later, while contemplating whether my Higher Self had anchored in my Holy Heart yet, I saw a golden ring with a few mounted diamonds, shining with silver-white Light. Since that moment, I’ve felt a buzzing sensation in my chest whenever I connect with my Holy Heart.

It took me a few days to figure out what this meant until I had an epiphany:the ring I saw reminded me of an engagement ring. In that moment, I realized it was an “engagement” sign from my Higher Self as He anchored in my Holy Heart. Just as a spark of Light is often noted in scientific research when a sperm meets the egg and conception occurs, the sparks of Light on the ring indicated that the Light of my Higher Self had “embedded” within me, marking the beginning of the embodiment process.
