Conversations as a Tool for Ascension: Speaking Your Way into Higher States (part 2 of 2)
Kenton David Bell inspired from the
TELOS Teachings
What if every conversation were a staircase? Each step a sentence; each landing a shared silence; each ascent a small shift in how you see, feel, choose, and create. When we treat conversation as a tool for ascension, we stop taking words for granted. We realize language isn’t just how we describe
life—it’s how we coordinate with our soul, with others, and with the larger field of possibility to rise.
Ascension, here, is not an escape from the world; it’s an elevation within it. It is the gradual refinement of awareness, integrity, and love as they express through your everyday choices—especially your speech. The spoken word becomes both practice and portal: practice for aligning with truth, and a portal that
opens new realities.
Below is an in-depth, conversational guide to using dialogue as a ladder upward—organized around core questions and includes personal authority and personal power: how to claim them cleanly, express them skillfully, and use them to lift not only yourself, but the field you are in.
Are Your Words, Desires, and Beliefs Connected to Your Soul? Alignment as Ascension
Authenticity is alignment—the soul’s tone through the human instrument.
- Practices for soul-voice:
- Two-minute sits: “What is mine to say today?” Trust the first clean impulse.
- Somatic
resonance: Post-speech scan—soft jaw, deep breath, long spine = aligned.
- Identity edits: Replace borrowed labels with living truths. “I lead best when I’m resourced and prepared.”
- Speaking from essence:
- Simple, specific, responsible.
- Ask without shrinking; claim without roaring.
Ascension effect: Coherence increases. Your
words carry the ring of truth, which moves hearts without force. This is authority’s signature: quiet certainty that does not need to convince.
What Truths Do You Hold Back? Courage as a Staircase
Unspoken truths become pressure. Spoken truths, skillfully held, become power.
- Find the truth under the fear:
- “What am I protecting?” “What am I hoping for?” “What will it cost me to stay silent?”
- Say it with care:
- Impact, not indictment: “When X happens, I feel Y. What would help is Z.”
- Perspective, not verdict: “From my
seat…”
- Purpose: “I’m sharing this to strengthen us.”
- Titrate: Start with lower-stakes truths. Celebrate each act of congruence.
Ascension effect: Each honest sentence strengthens your channel. More light flows through less distortion. Personal power increases as you tolerate the heat of truth and remain kind.
Is What You Are Saying Now Helpful? Service as a Higher Octave
Helpfulness is a high-frequency trait: it moves life forward without
diminishing dignity.
- Consent questions:
- “Do you want empathy, ideas, or a witness?”
- “Is now a good time, or should we schedule?”
- Four helpful functions:
- Clarify, Connect, Catalyze, Console. Choose intentionally.
- End with direction:
- “Given this, what’s the next small step?”
Ascension effect: Conversations stop looping and start translating insight into motion. This is power with, not power over.
The Four Pillars of Sovereign Conversation: A
Practical Model
Use these pillars to keep your authority and power clean during any dialogue:
- Presence
- Breath low and slow. Feel your feet. Notice your impulse to fix or flee.
- Personal authority needs presence; otherwise, you will outsource your
truth to urgency or approval.
- Permission
- Ask for lanes and boundaries: “I have feedback. Is now okay?” “I need 10 minutes of uninterrupted sharing.”
- Power without permission often lands as force. Permission refines delivery.
- Precision
- Specific observations, not global judgments. “When deadlines slip” beats “You’re
unreliable.”
- Specific asks, not vague hopes: “Can we agree to X by Friday?”
- Partnership
- Co-create next steps. “Here is what I can own. What would work for you?”
- Authority plus partnership yields sustainable power—people follow what they help build.
Conversational Alchemy: Techniques to Raise the Field
- Set a Field
- One sentence at the start: “May this be honest, kind, and effective.” Fields calm nervous systems and invite truth. (Decide on qualities of being.)
- Ask Ascension Questions
- “What wants to emerge here?”
- “What are we assuming that might not be true?”
- “If this were easy and elegant, what would we do?”
- Upgrade Language
- “I choose to” over “I have to.”
- “Until now” over “It’s always.”
- “I’m practicing” over “I’m bad at.”
- Repair
Quickly
- “Impact > intent. I missed. How can I restore trust?”
- Close Loops
- Recap decisions, name one learning, express a gratitude. Completion returns energy.
- Invite Silence
- Ten seconds of shared quiet lets insight surface. Silence is not the absence of conversation; it is its womb.
- Bless and Release
- “May what was useful remain. May the rest dissolve.” Do not carry conversations you’ve already completed.
