The 6th initiation occurs when the 5 hidden chakras (8th chakra to 12th chakra) are activated. This occurs naturally between the 5th and 6th initiations when the chakras 9-12 change to rainbow in colour. When this occurs, the person will have no more dimensional lives, the Higher Self will be anchored in the Holy Heart, and the person has mastered all of their fears. They will be coming to the realisation that the lower-self is merely a construct of the Higher Self, and in this realization, the ego will be lessening.

The process of the 6th initiation can take between three weeks to several years from our observations to date. Each person is unique. But those ascending via the Ascended Masters portal take about 8 weeks. This is because the time between the 5th and 6th initiations is so short. 

Here is the process for those beginning the 6th initiation.

• All karma was cleared at the 5^th initiation.
• All dimensional lives are gone. All the lives (dimensional souls of the Higher Self) have returned to the Higher Self, you are the last one standing.
• The Soul Seat can vibrate. You might feel it physically.
• Your personal crystal in the Sacred Heart receives all your past life records. It changes shape and colour and drops into the Celestial Star below your feet. The Celestial star is the new name for the Earth Star after the 5th initiation.
• The Celestial Star turns from apex down to apex up.
• The Celestial Star with the crystal disappears from beneath the feet and begins its migration up to its final position above the 12th chakra.
• A one centimetre thick skin appears around the Etheric body (this is to hold the physical body in form once the initiation occurs). This skin stays permanently to keep the physical body in form, otherwise the body couldn’t sustain the vibrations. The skin may be one colour for the initiation and then eventually change to the colour of the ray of the Higher Self. The Higher Self is on its own ray.
• The 8th chakra starts to pulsate. The 8th chakra is blue.
• At the initiation, the chakras 9-12 are all rainbow coloured.
• The Celestial Star with the crystal appears in the soul seat. This can take some time between leaving its prior place beneath your feet. For some, it travels up the chakras one by one, and for others, it disappears to reappear in the soul seat. Where it goes between leaving the earth and arriving in the soul seat we don’t know. Waireti can’t see or find it in its transition.
• The ray colour of the Higher Self can start to merge with the aura on an emotional and mental body level. This will be your new ray of incarnation and will eventually be your one total colour.
• The actual initiation occurs. The Higher Self anchored itself in the Holy Heart and prepares to integrate into your lower form. At this time, the 5 rays of incarnation of the initiate start to be removed. All lessons have been learned within the confines of those 5 rays with their Masters. These 5 rays will be replaced with the single soul ray colour of the Higher Self. In my case, it is yellow (2nd Ray). My Higher Self has a pale yellow ray colour, and so this colour is seen in all my 5 rays (though I did not determine this colour till some months after the initiation when it was shown to me by my Higher Self).
• The Higher Self is now your only teacher. The previous ray Masters, guides, and angels have stepped back. All the Masters step back as teachers.
• The Core Star (the doorway to dimensional lives) ceases to exist and is no longer part of the energy system of the body. There is no longer any link to other dimensions in this way.
• The Celestial Star with the crystal leaves the energy centre of the soul seat and eventually appears apex down above the 12th chakra. The Celestial Star keeps the Higher Self and lower self in body. The initiation is over. You have passed the 6th initiation.
• The soul seat becomes a vortex. All past lives are cleared, and the record of them moves to the Celestial star for storage.
• The 8th chakra has become the chakra of the next initiation.
• A spinning disc of light appears between the crown chakra and the 8th chakra.
• There may be a period of deep grief. At the initiation itself when the rays are starting to change, it means the death of an identity or a construct because your rays contribute to who you are. The changing of the rays heralds the rise of the Higher Self and the bowing, or submission, of the lower self. It is also means the loss of the support team; it is now just you and your Higher Self. The Higher Self is now your only teacher. This is a time of great change and upheaval.
• The process of integrating and understanding the new rays is an ongoing process. Each Master has their own colour, and the nuances of that colour apply to them as Beings. For you, it will mean the start of an ongoing process of learning the nuances of your new ray in regards to your Higher Self.
• The assimilation continues for over a year. Do we feel any different? Yes and no. Life continues as normal, so routine and life help to feel normal, but there is the sense of separation and loss from old self. It is hard to put into words. I type, but I observe the typing. It's like life is on autopilot. Do I feel more connected to the Masters? No, not really, the level of connection feels the same. But in saying that, there is a gorgeous feeling of divinity that appears and goes – Higher Self of course. There is a sense of peace.
• Over a couple of years or longer, the Higher Self will slowly merge into your form. The Holy Heart has a magnetic pull on the Higher Self. The integration can be noticed as The Higher Self descends; this can be noted as a percentage. When the Higher Self is 100% in the Holy Heart, the 7th initiation will begin.
• Your Higher Self has a cosmic teacher, and he/she may step forward to introduce himself to you. My Higher Self has Ares as his teacher. The teacher will also be on your new ray, so is a further confirmation of the ray you have moved to. 

So, the checkpoints are:

• The crystal in the Sacred Heart drops into the Celestial Star.
• The Celestial Star turns from apex down to apex up.
• The Celestial Star leaves its position from below the feet to travel to the soul seat, usually up the chakras.
• The etheric body gets a 1cm skin to keep the cells of the body together.
• The Celestial Star appears in the Soul Seat.
• The Core Star disappears, not to return.
• The 5 rays have changed to the colour and ray of the Higher Self.
• When the Celestial Star arrives above the 12th chakra, the initiation is complete.

The Process from 6th to 7th initiation

The process after the 6th initiation and before the 7th initiation is all about the Higher Self coming into the Holy Heart. After the 6th initiation is complete, the lower and Higher Self must co-exist as the transition occurs. Through this process, the lower-self continues as normal, and learns to adjust to the higher vibration, and the Higher Self takes this time to adjust to a reality never experienced before.

Remember, the lower self is a construct for this one life for a soul that has had many lives. The Higher Self has overseen that soul and the other dimensional souls it created, all with many lives. At the 6th initiation, this soul of this lower self is the last one standing of all the dimensional souls the Higher Self has created. The most important thing to remember is that you, the lower-self, are a construct for the purpose of of ascension for your the Higher Self. Here is a link to the article on Dimensional lives.

Once the initiation period is complete, the period between the 6th and 7th initiation differs from person to person. The quickest has been 12 months, the longest is now over 4 years and still not there. This is your process. Don't feel pressured, we all ascend in our own time.
The process of the 6th to 7th initiation is all about the Higher Self descending into the Holy Heart. So, you will be doing your part and Higher Self their part. It isn't all about you.

Your ascension is now measured by the percentage of Higher Self in your Holy Heart. You will reach the 7th initiation when the Higher Self is 100% in the Holy Heart. Here at the Ascended Masters’ portal, we do measure percentages with those we are working with. 

Having passed the 6th initiation, you are now on a new ray (perhaps one of your old 5 rays), but now you have a colour that is specific to your Higher Self. You are now on the ray of your Higher Self, and you have taken on this colour on all your 5 rays – ascension ray, life ray, mental body ray, emotional body ray, and physical body ray. Your Higher Self will show you your unique colour in the Holy Heart and from knowing the colour, you will know your new ray. This step is part of your own personal and sacred journey with your High Self. We are happy to confirm what you know, but we won't tell you.

It is also up to you to determine if your Higher Self is male or female. Don't assume men have male Higher Selves and women have female Higher Selves. You have been either male of female in all of your past lives, but the Higher Self has always been the same. You are a construct in each life.

The teacher of your Higher Self can also identify him or herself to you. They are always on the same ray as the Higher Self. We don't confirm this the teacher of your Higher Self. This is because it is a sacred relationship between two Masters. 

Ascension will be greatly helped if your astral, mental and emotional bodies are clear.
