Philosophy of Ascension

(A lone voice whispers)



In this life
What you choose to let others feel

By practicing these three key major principles linked to love

Care
Understanding and
gratitude

Can be the difference between appearing fake with a pious platitude

Or being real

Don't let indifference steal what could help you
Or someone else heal

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

A spectacular quote if one praises the lid off 

Love doesn't always relate to romance, but can reflect similar attributes.

Such as care, understanding, and gratitude.

1. Care.
Sometimes, doing something for someone or an institution because we choose to.

And
2. Understand 
By doing so: we are possibly helping them and more so,

We can embrace 

3. Gratitude
Because we like the sensations we receive silently, by sharing our light. Through inward acknowledgment.

Wouldn't a mindset like that help one to ascend?

(A "pious platitude" refers to insincere or empty talk about religion or morals, often used to appear virtuous or moral without genuine conviction. Source. Google)
