Question: Once this 7th sphere ascends, is an 8th sphere going to be created? Will beings like Jesus and Mary and people like us, once we have ascended, create it? Will it have to be more dense yet or do we have the free will to make it less dense?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 Lithuania Conference.
Well, I am tempted to say, let’s take one thing at a time. You are on earth which is a fair way away from ascending, so let’s first get the 7th sphere ascended and then we will worry about the rest. But of course, it is possible to answer these questions.
Yes, there will be an 8th sphere and it will be denser than the current one because that is part of the design of the Creator. Now, it will be created partly by those of us who have ascended now and some of you that will ascend later.
We do not have the free will to make it less dense, but we have the free will to design structures in there according to our vision and experience so that as we can see it, we make it easier for the beings who will embody there to ascend even though the sphere is dense. This is sort of the progression where you see, for example, that beings who ascended in the 1st sphere have no experience of how it is to ascend from a sphere as dense as the 7th and therefore, they would actually not be that skilled at designing the 8th sphere. But we who have ascended from the most dense sphere so far, we have the skills to design the 8th, the structures in the 8th, in such a way that our experiences will make it easier for the new lifestreams to ascend, to avoid being trapped in identification with matter or trapped in duality.
We certainly have a high degree of creative freedom, but we work, of course, within the overall design of the Creator.
Now you have to be careful here because when you say: “Can we make the sphere less dense”, it implies that you think that the suffering you see on earth is a product of the density of the current sphere. And while that is to some degree true, you have to realize that the fact that the spheres become more dense is actually an opportunity to transcend yourself from a more difficult starting point than beings in, for example, the 1st sphere. That is part of why Jesus said: “The last shall become the first and the first shall become the last”, because there is a greater opportunity to raise awareness in a denser sphere than there is in a higher sphere.
