Question: Lester Levinson was an American engineer and spiritual teacher who developed the Release Technique. The technique aims to improve mental well-being by teaching individuals how to let go of negative emotions and limiting beliefs. Was Lester and the Release Technique sponsored by the ascended masters? And how can the Release Technique assist in the release of negative emotions? And how can the Release Technique assist in dissolving the illusions of separate selves? What are the typical obstacles encountered in this application? And what strategies can a practitioner employ to optimize the benefits of this method?
(Kim) sense the masters want to comment, but I also want me to say that in terms of these specific questions, I would have to have more knowledge of the technique for the masters to give something through me. And I do not know the technique. I do not think you will get an answer to the specifics because of my lack of knowledge. But they will make a comment.
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary. This answer was given during the 2023 Kazakhstan Conference.
There are many of the tools out there that are psychological tools, that are valid and valuable tools. Not necessarily for everybody, but for certain people to resolve certain elements of psychology.
You are asking specifically if this person and this technique was ‘sponsored’ by the ascended masters. And the reason I want to comment on this is that it very much depends on what you mean with something being ‘sponsored’. If you go back to previous dispensations, they used the concept that something is sponsored as, for example, a sponsored messenger. And they interpreted this to mean that if the ascended masters sponsored some activity, then that activity was almost perfect, or infallible, or 100% in alignment with the ascended masters. If you are looking at sponsorship that way, then the answer would be no. But this does not mean that Stevenson and the technique were not based on some ideas that were released by the ascended masters and that Stevenson was able to tune into.
What I am trying to say here is that you need to be more nuanced in your evaluation of ideas and techniques because there are many people in the world who are able to tune into the ascended realm and receive one or several ideas. And these are valid ideas, and it means that in many cases they can create a valid technique, at least a technique that works for some people.
But there are also many examples of people who have been able to tune in and receive some valid ideas, but they have, as was said about Freud and Adler, some cultural overlay that they cannot free themselves from. This means that there is now a mixture of valid ideas with some cultural overlay that means you cannot say that this is 100% coming from the ascended masters.
In other words, you can have a technique or a teaching based on valid ideas, but it is not in an entirely valid context. In other words, it is not completely aligned with the teachings of the ascended masters. This does not mean you cannot use it, you cannot benefit from it. You just cannot go into this thinking that: “Oh, this is an infallible technique based on infallible teachings.” I know that some people will say: “Well, what do I then do”? And what you do is you use your intuition and you experiment. If you feel attracted to a technique, experiment with it, see what it does, use your intuition, use your discernment. If you feel it helps you continue, if you feel it does not help you or maybe even opens you to lower energies, then you just withdraw.You have learned something from doing this.
