Question: I realize that as I go through my life, I tend to believe that the world will unfold according to my subconscious expectations or conceptual mindset. Although I make a conscious effort not to think this way, I often end up disappointed because of those expectations. Is it wrong to have expectations in my life? How can I transcend them?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.
It is not necessarily wrong to have expectations, but most expectations that people have are based on subconscious selves that spring from the sense of separation. Most people have expectations that you, as a separate being, should achieve some result, some outer situation, and that, of course, will tie you to that subconscious self. It will often set you up even for a lifetime of disappointment and frustration when your expectations are not met. In many cases, in most cases, the expectations of these subconscious selves are simply not realistic, so they will not be met.
You can have some expectations that are not based on dualistic selves, but based on the selves from the 48th to the 144th level of consciousness. But even those selves, you will, of course, transcend as you rise higher on the path. That means that you can come to that point that Nada talked about where you are at peace because you have no more selves that have expectations of what should or should not happen. This is the ultimate way to escape suffering. You could say that at the higher levels of awareness, you will have no expectations. Certainly, you will not be attached to whether any expectation you have is fulfilled or not.
