Question: I have been working at my current job for over seven years. In recent years, I have strongly felt that I am working solely for financial reasons, without much emotional satisfaction. Does this mean it is time to change something and look for a field of work that brings income and genuine joy from the process itself? How can I discern whether this is my Divine plan urging me to move forward or if it is an epic separate self that wants to feel useful? To experience uplifting emotions from work and to know that its occupation is not meaningless. As a student of the ascended masters, how can I best express myself in this material world? Should I stay in a well-paying but uninspiring job that allows time for self-development and studying the teachings or leap into something that truly excites me, even if it involves financial risk?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Holland Conference.
Well, you can as a general guideline say that when you are a spiritual person who is open to the ascended master teachings, then it is not the main goal of your Divine plan to be comfortable. It is your goal to grow. What will give you the most growth? Is there growth in the job you are in? If you are only there because it gives good money but there is no growth, then tune in, use your intuition and see if it is not time to move on.
I understand that depending on where you grew up, it can be important to be comfortable materially. But still, when you are open to ascended master teachings, your primary goal is growth, not comfortability. Jesus was not particularly comfortable in his last lifetime. I, for that matter, was not particularly comfortable dealing with his idiosyncrasies as a child and teenager or even as an adult. I mean, what mother should have to chastise her child because he will not turn water into wine? It is just not reasonable.
