Question: Could Jesus comment on the teachings of Michael Singer, who says that an effective way to grow spiritually is to practice objective observation and gradually release our samskaras, mental and emotional imprints. For example, when challenging situations arise, we can relax on that state of objective observation, and allow those energies to release. This release will transmute the energies so that what was originally a lower energy like anger or fear can rise up as a higher energy. Singer presents this as a daily practice in which everyday life can become a source of great spiritual growth. Are there any significant limitations or potential traps associated with this approach, or is it really an effective path?
Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar for America – The Resurrection of Democracy.
Well, we prefer not to comment on specific spiritual teachers or teachings. But what I will say here is that there is, of course, a number of people out there, whether they are spiritual teachers or in the field of psychology, who have discovered valid techniques, valid ideas and found a way to express them that appeals to some people. The idea of samskaras or mental images goes back to Buddhism and is, of course, a valid idea. It is the same as we talk about mental images, separate selves, your perception filter. We talk also about going into a neutral frame of mind. But I will say that becoming aware of this and releasing the energies is indeed helpful but it is more effective to combine this with decrees and invocations where you invoke spiritual light to dissolve the energies.
There are people who have reached a certain level where they can, by focusing on certain energies and releasing them, they can, through their minds transform the energies, but most people are not able to do this and so it is more effective here to use decrees and invocations to transform the energy. Otherwise, you actually can trap yourself in thinking that you have released all these energies and in some cases, people can release them, but they then release them into the environment, where they influence other people and become part of the collective consciousness, even feed the collective beast. This can then become a trap that hinders your spiritual growth.
What you see in some cases is that some of these spiritual teachers may have a valid idea, but they do not always have the full understanding of what it takes to implement the idea. Many teachers are not really aware of the importance of energies in the emotional, mental and identity bodies and the effective ways to transform them. It is not that you cannot change energies through the four levels of your mind. But you cannot really transform energies into a higher energy without having access to a higher form of energy. And that energy must come from the ascended realm, because it is the only way it can come from. You cannot produce this in your mind. You can open your mind to a flow from the ascended realm, but you cannot produce it in the mind and it is a misunderstanding to think that you can.
