What does it take to transcend the self and embody the qualities necessary for spiritual ascension?
The Law of one names three extraordinary saints whose timeless qualities propelled them to spiritual readiness and are examples of what it takes to reach fourth density!
Souls That Learnt Third Density Lessons 25,000 Years Ago
The Ra Material offers profound insights into the concept of harvestable beings, individuals who have successfully learned the essential lessons of their existence and are ready for ascension.
In Session 22 of the Law of One, Ra sheds light on the Earth's history during the second major cycle, approximately 25,000 years ago, when only 150 out of 345,000 individuals were deemed harvestable.
These individuals had diligently embraced the lessons of service to others, polarizing, choosing to serve, and embodying the qualities necessary for ascension.
At this pivotal juncture, higher density beings from the Confederation of Planets presented themselves and offered these harvestable individuals a choice: to spiritually ascend and move on to another sphere or to remain on Earth to aid its evolution.

Remarkably, these individuals chose to stay and contribute to the greater cause of spiritual evolution here on Earth.
In response to Don's inquiry, Ra identifies three notable figures from Earth's history who were among the harvestable beings:
St. Augustine, St. Teresa of Ávila, and St. Francis of Assisi.
Each of these individuals embarked on remarkable spiritual journeys, embodying qualities that made them ready for ascension and inspiring countless others with their wisdom and devotion.
With this introduction, the stage is set to delve into the lives and legacies of these extraordinary individuals, exploring the common qualities that rendered them harvestable and the profound impact of their teachings on spiritual seekers throughout history.
Saint Augustine
13 November 354 – 28 August 430
Saint Augustine lived a life full of vices and pleasures of the flesh until he went through his dark night of the soul and developed his spirituality through Christianity.
He climbed the ranks of religion and his philosophical contemplations greatly influenced the medieval world.
His outside-of-the-box views gave Christianity a fresh perspective, and he helped many people confront their own vices.
Saint Augustine is known for his patience and for guiding people through transformation and redemption.
For these reasons, St. Augustine is the patron saint of brewers, printers, and theologians.
Throughout his life and his works, he touched on key subjects such as Free will, fate, the nature of time, self-reflection and oneness.
He famously stated that God exists outside of time in an eternal present and even questioned the literal creation story, saying that it’s important to stay open minded, to see things from a spiritual perspective and not to interpret everything literally.
Towards the end of his life, he spent much of his time in prayer and repentance.
It was during this time and confined to his sick bed that St. Augustine performed a healing miracle.
An ill man travelled to visit Augustine and believed he would cure him. After Augustine laid his hands on the man, he left healed.
My favourite St. Augustine quotes:
“And men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, yet pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought.”
“Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.”
“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.”
“Patience is the companion of wisdom.”
“Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.”
Saint Teresa of Ávila
13 March 1515 – 4 October 1582
Saint Teresa of Ávila, a remarkable mystic and spiritual luminary, embarked on a profound journey of spiritual awakening and devotion to God that continues to inspire and guide seekers of faith and mysticism to this day.
Born in Ávila, Spain, Teresa entered a Carmelite convent at a young age and began a life of deep introspection and contemplation.
It took a while for her to deepen her connection with herself and the universe.
She was in her forties when she began having extraordinary spiritual experiences.
Teresa's spiritual path eventually led her to intense encounters with the divine, including the miraculous experience of being levitated during prayer!
She would have to call for the other nuns to sit on her body as it would rise off the ground in spiritual ecstasy.
Her writings and teachings have had a lasting impact on Christian mysticism, emphasising the importance of inner prayer and the soul's union with creation.
Teresa's approach to spiritual life was revolutionary.
She believed that the essence of spirituality lay in an attitude of love, not just following rules.
She advocated for the importance of work over begging, and faith in a higher power over excessive penance.
Her wisdom extended to practical advice, encouraging those feeling down to seek solace in nature and reminding them that there is a time for enjoyment as well as for penance.
Even when she established her own convent, Teresa did not seek a life of passive peace.
She believed that true prayer should lead to action and tangible good effects, rather than merely providing a fleeting sense of piety.
Her approach to spirituality was grounded in practicality and a deep understanding of human nature.
My favourite St. Teresa quotes:
“Untilled ground, however rich, will bring forth thistles and thorns; so also the mind of man.”
“It is love alone that gives worth to all things.”
“It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves.”
“Love turns work into rest.”
Saint Francis of Assisi
11 November 1181 – 3 October 1226
Saint Francis of Assisi, an influential figure in Christian history, embarked on a transformative spiritual journey that emphasised the interconnectedness of all things and the profound harmony within the universe.
Born in Assisi, Italy, Francis initially led a life of privilege and extravagance, revelling in the pleasures of wealth and social status.
However, a divine revelation led him to renounce his material possessions and embrace a life of simplicity, humility, and devotion to Christianity.
Legend has it that Francis once delivered a sermon to a flock of birds, speaking to them about their divine nature, the universal bond shared by all living creatures, and the importance of gratitude.
As he preached, the birds seemed to listen attentively, only flying away once he gave them permission to depart, a testament to the profound connection he felt with all creatures and the universal harmony that permeates the natural world.
In the later years of his life, Saint Francis received the stigmata of Christ, a miraculous occurrence that is considered a result of his profound connection with Jesus and his teachings.
This mystical event, in which he bore the 5 wounds of Christ on his own body, is widely regarded as one of his most profound miracles.
Saint Francis was the first recorded person in history to receive the stigmata, solidifying his status as a figure of extraordinary spiritual significance.
Throughout his life, Saint Francis performed numerous miracles, embodying his belief in the interconnectedness of the universe and the divine presence within all creation.
His miraculous abilities were seen as a reflection of his deep spiritual connection and his unwavering faith in the universal harmony that permeates all existence.
His radical approach to spirituality emphasized the transformative power of humility, love, and selflessness, serving as a timeless example of living in harmony with the interconnected universe and all living beings.
Saint Francis's enduring legacy as a symbol of compassion, humility, and devotion to the divine creator continues to inspire believers and seekers of faith, encouraging them to embrace a life of simplicity, service, and love for all creation.
My favourite St. Francis quotes:
“He who works with his hands is a labourer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
“Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying [to ourselves] that we are born to eternal life.”
Conclusion
The lives of St. Augustine, St. Teresa of Ávila, and St. Francis of Assisi exemplify the qualities necessary for spiritual readiness.
Their unwavering commitment to service to others and open-heartedness propelled them to harvestable status, aligning with the Law of One's principle that individuals must be at least 51% service to others to ascend.
Their deep connection with the universe and embodiment of these qualities led to extraordinary miracles, showcasing the transformative power that arises from such profound connection.
As we reflect on their legacies, may their lives inspire us to cultivate qualities that transcend the self and contribute to the greater good.
Their teachings continue to guide and resonate across generations, offering profound insights into the power of service to others and developing a deep, open-hearted connection with the universe.
May their legacies prompt us to integrate these qualities into our own lives, fostering a greater sense of interconnectedness, compassion, and service to others.
As we embrace these qualities, may we, too, experience the profound miracles that unfold when we align with the universal principles governing our existence.
