We've pretty much beat the whole "ascension" thing to death but I just realized something and it's so simple and obvious.
🐸 Devocension? 🐸
Devolution = the transfer or delegation of power to a lower level
Ascension = the act of rising to an important position or a higher level
You have been programmed to get said job, keep said job, get married, have family, retire shortly before death and the cycle repeats. You do have control over your universe when you break free of societal programming. You can pursue almost all career paths, you can be a body builder type, you are your only limitation on this plane we call earth. We have been conditioned to endure the wrong kind of suffering, there is a difference, one only leads to personal suffering, the other leads to a higher form of enlightenment.
