Ascension: The Ishaya's Teachings

The Red Ishayas are individuals, male and female, living out in the world teaching Ascension and sharing the experience of the Ascendant with others. The Red Ishaya path is the path of unconditional love. Generally they can be found wearing red clothing unless the need of the moment is to focus more on purity or compassion where then they might attire in white or black. The Red Ishaya is an active path, driven by a passionate love for healing and raising the consciousness of the planet.  This path includes a delicate balance in every facet of that individual’s life. These individuals live out in the world, not in a secluded community or monastery. They may be or may not be in a committed married relationship and have a house and a family with the bills and responsibilities of maintaining a home. There are no set rules. One could be unmarried, have no house or possessions or even be a strict bramacharyi and still be a Red Ishaya. The commitment and dedication to the healing of humanity through the teaching of Ascension is the common thread uniting these teachers and all Ishayas. 

Enlightenment knows no gender. For thousands and thousands of years, through subtle and sometimes very blatant indoctrination, the male has persisted in keeping the idea and the ancient texts alive that God the Father is supreme above God the Mother. In order for humanity to heal, the equality of both must be united in the heart. How this is lived out in the world can then manifest in total acceptance of the female as a monk, as a Teacher, as a householder and as a mother. The Red Ishayas embrace both the Ishani (female) and Isham (male) energy of the Ascendant. They seek to bring the divine feminine, dwelling patiently in everyone’s heart,  into balance with the divine masculine.

The Red Ishaya’s householder path is slightly different from the householder path described by some Yogis, as a path of total devotion to the mate as a means to higher consciousness. These views come from the view of  enlightened men, yet men who still grew up in male dominant societies. That served then, but now we entering a new paradigm where the unconditional love and consciousness of the divine feminine is needed out in the world bringing enlightenment to all who seek it.

Devotion without experience can take one to God but it is a much slower path than directly experiencing the Ascendant.  Possibly many men have become enlightened through devotion to their wife and vice versa; however, Devotional yoga is a branch of yoga that differs from Adviata Vedanta (the teaching of Unity, the teaching of Ascension). Ascension is based on one’s own personal experience of God, of the Ascendant, of the Transcendent, of the unbounded, and has nothing to do with devotion to anyone or anything outside of oneself. The overflow of love that comes through devotion to the self is not something that you are doing for someone else but a recognition that the truth dwells in everyone’s heart. 

Nothing can come into manifestation that doesn’t have its source within the self. The happy content nuclear family continues to be a framework in our society; however, it is still striven for by many yet obtained by few. It is a standard in ancient texts such as the I-Ching (The father, the creator; The mother, the receptive; three sons, three daughters) and in the Old Testament.  If what is being experienced internally in the heart of an enlightened person would be experienced in the world, it would consist of the perfect union of the masculine and the feminine energies, the Holy Relationship. This could be reflected in the outside world as being unmarried, married, heterosexual or homosexual. To fill the gap within, many individuals seek the Holy Relationship outside of themselves . The perception persists that if you fix the outside (i.e. have this framework of a family) then the rest will fall into place. This is backward thinking. This ideal role model has become a backward way of perception which is to make the outside world correspond to what we want on the inside. It must be emphasized that one must change the inside first, then the outside will reflect what type of household there is. The exterior universe will reflect the family that resides within the heart.

One definition of ignorance is simply refusing to recognize or choose for the truth in any given moment. Ignorance is simply ignoring the Ascendant. The Red Ishayas are here to teach others how to give it their full attention. When the consciousness of the individual is healed through this pure unconditional love for the divine feminine aspect of the Ascendant dwelling within everyone’s heart, working in unison with the divine masculine aspect, the world will become healed

What has taken place in many cultures is suppression of the wisdom or the female energy. Often this occurs from the mistranslated words of the enlightened. Male bramacharyis are often considered superior in their understanding and teaching abilities. While this may often be the case, many peoples’ consciousness will never come into an awareness of the Ascendant by following the antiquated typical male Guru role. The Red Ishayas have come into existence to solve this dilemma. Teachers, both female and male, who are expressing the divine feminine and experiencing the Ascendant are needed out in the world. This may be through teaching Ascension directly, one-on-one or to groups,  indirectly through writing or assisting others in teaching or just being silently present and living the experience of the Ascendant from the heart.

The guidance and wisdom of the female energy is needed if any civilization, home, or  teaching is to survive and to thrive. This includes Ascension in all its forms. The Red Ishayas have recognized the need of the time is such that the wisdom of the female aspect of the Ascendant can no longer be suppressed. At the same time, this is not about denying or repressing the male energy but about bringing the two into balance through unconditional love.

The way to enlighten the children is to enlighten the adults who teach the children. This is why it is so essential that the parents become enlightened. This may happen by chance but rarely does.  In order to structure harmony and peace between both parents, it is essential to add Ascension to the daily life. When the parents learn and experience this themselves the effects carry over to the children. Children raised with praise, gratitude,  love and ruthless compassion are less likely to have as many negative grooves and stuck reactive behavior patterns as children raised by parents who experience little harmony, peace, love or inner contentment. The guidance and assistance of an outside teacher such as a Red Ishaya can assist in this process if neither of the parents have structured their consciousness to reflect enlightened behavior patterns.

The time and the need for more Red Ishayas is at hand. Humanity cries out and wants this teaching. It is not the perfect husband or wife or parent that one seeks but this inner contentment, the temple of heaven, the silence of the Ascendant offered to us through Ascension by the Red Ishayas.
