Question: I recently had the opportunity to know more about the late reggae singer Bob Marley. I cannot help thinking he must be an avatar, knowing the huge impact he had on his country and the planet through his music, conveying a magnificent message of love, peace and unity.
I wonder why he died so early of disease, knowing he had so much to give. I also wonder if by any chance he ascended, although I doubt it because he was known to have a severe addiction to drugs. Even if I understand, he got traumatized several times and also that smoking was part of the Rastafarian culture. This leads me to the following question. How can such a magnificent spirit do so much for Christ and at the same time not be able to escape this addiction? The question could also be put that way, how can one suffer from addiction and at the same time be able to release so much divine energy?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Easter webinar.
It is a complicated question because it touches upon several topics, but let me try to keep it somewhat simple. What you see in many people that you see throughout history, is that they can have a certain creative drive, creative abilities, but they also have a very complicated, unresolved psychology. It is a common image out there that geniuses are often very socially awkward and find it difficult to relate to other people such as, for example, Einstein or Oppenheimer, as portrayed in this latest movie.
The reason for this is not just one answer. In some cases, you actually have fallen beings who have a certain attainment on doing something in the physical, a certain mastery over the physical realm, but it also carries with them the fallen psychology, the unresolved psychology, which eventually causes them to self-destruct.
You also have a certain group of avatars who still retain some of the creativity that they brought with them from a natural planet, but because of their birth trauma and other traumas created after that, they have created this very complex psychology. It is sort of the what a psychologist calls the self-sabotage syndrome, where you have these people who are creative, who can bring forth certain new things, but by doing it, it is almost as if it activates the lower aspects of their psychology. This is actually the case often with avatars, is that they have a certain connection to the Christ mind that enables them to bring forth something new, but the light they are bringing forth flushes out the unresolved psychology so they have to find a way to deal with it. If they do not have a spiritual teaching, if they do not have an understanding of psychology, if they are not willing to work with their psychology, they have to cover it over. That is where addiction can be one of the ways that they attempt to cover it over, and their attention from it. This, of course, often means that they do not express their fullest potential, they express something, and then the unresolved psychology comes up.
Another aspect that comes in is that many people who become famous, especially in musicians and actors, or politicians, they cannot handle the attention that is put on them from the collective consciousness. This simply becomes too much, it also stirs up their psychology, and therefore, they cannot deal with life, they cannot deal essentially with the psychology, but that makes them unable to function in life and to continue their career, and again they can attempt to numb themselves by chemical substances or in other ways.
Really what happens is that these people have in their Divine Plans that they can bring forth something, but they also have it in their Divine Plans that in order to reach the higher levels of their plan, they have to resolve their psychology. But if they are not willing to do that, if they grew up in a context where they did not have any help on resolving psychology, then they can get stuck. They reach a certain level and then they cannot go beyond it.
You see some people who are bringing forth something that makes them famous, and they really cannot bring forth anything new after that. That is because they do not transcend the psychology, so they cannot rise to the next level of their creative efforts. This applies to anybody, really, who is in any creative field, and you see this pattern over and over again in creative people.
The only way out of it is to adopt the attitude that you are willing to work on your psychology, and you search for whatever teachings and tools that appeal to you, and you apply it. There are people who are beginning to do this, because there is a greater awareness of psychology and a greater willingness to deal with it. What you will see in coming decades is you will see more and more creative people who do not get stuck, who do not self-destruct, and who either rise above addiction or avoid going into it, and therefore, continue to be creative for a long period of time.
This is indeed one of the things that will accelerate the manifestation of the golden age. You of course all have the opportunity to be among those who fulfill the highest potential of your Divine Plan, whatever it is you have defined for yourself, without getting hindered by, or stopped by your own unresolved psychology. That is why we have given you all of these tools, because you are open to hearing it directly from us.
