Question: Many people have expressed a great interest in the concept of time travel. That is, they would like to travel back in time to experience living in a time and an era that was very different to our own, and to experience life as it was lived in great cities 100 or 200 or 300 years ago. Is such a thing possible to do with the Akashic records or in Devachan, et cetera?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar – Democracy and Christhood.
Well, we have talked about time and time travel before. And we have said that it is not possible to physically travel in time. But when you consider spiritual growth, then what you can do is use our tools to go back and resolve the birth trauma and other separate selves that you created back in time. And this is in a sense a time machine, you are traveling in the mind and removing the ties that tie you to the past, and therefore you become free of the past.
Now in terms of experiencing the past – that is not physically possible. But it can of course be achieved to some degree, through for example, hypnotherapy. And it can be achieved in Devachan. But Devachan is after you leave embodiment.
The real thing to consider about this time travel is that you have a very, very strong tendency, a very strong beast in the collective consciousness, that wants people to feel that they are dissatisfied with the present time. They are dissatisfied with the situation they are living in: “Oh, it must have been better in the past. I would like to experience the past instead. Oh, It will be better in the future, I want to experience the future, but anything but my present situation.” This you cannot afford to do if you are a spiritual student who has an ambition of going towards Christhood and qualifying for your ascension.
You cannot afford to dream and always project you want to be somewhere else than where you are. How are you going to win your ascension? Where are you going to win your ascension? In the time and a place where you are right now. In the physical octave. This is how you qualify for your ascension – by working with your mind in the physical situation you have, transcending any attachments to the physical. All of the other things are a form of escapism and escapism will not take you to the ascended realm. You cannot ascend if you are trying to escape from earth. We have said this before, but I will say it again in this context, because it is extremely important. Many spiritual people who have it in their divine plan to reach a higher level of Christhood have been sidetracked, pulled into a blind alley by this particular mechanism of always thinking it must be better somewhere else, either somewhere else on the planet or somewhere else in time.
It is now and here that is the best opportunity for you to see the things in your own consciousness that stand in the way of your progress. Everything in your present situation and your reaction to your present situation is an opportunity for you to see the unresolved psychology that is standing in your way.
