The ascension (# 9) the final step in the attainment of the Christ consciousness.
In the ascended state the individual attains the cosmic consciousness of oneness with the Father. The body loses its limitations and takes on the livingness of the substance of God; One transcends the limitations of space and time; One acquires full control over the body (the earth) and over all the faculties of the mind (the heavens); One takes on the divine powers and attributes.

"Lo, I am with you always," said Jesus. This is literally true because the ascended one rises to a level of oneness with the father and puts on the omnipresence and omnipotence, the universal body and mind, of God. (At-One_Ment)
