A higher form of technology based on crystals and magnets

Question:  There is an idea introduced in the My Lives book about the use of crystals and magnets.  How can these technologies be helpful?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

There are naturally many technologies that have some validity to them. Crystals, magnets can have an effect. You will see in the New Age field that there are many people who have applied these technologies, you are of course free to survey the field if you feel so inclined and use your intuition and discernment to see whether this applies to you.  We are not particularly giving teachings through this messenger about this for a variety of reasons.  We leave this up to your own discernment what you want to do with this.

What I will say is that what is talked about in the book is actually a higher form of technology than what has currently been brought into the physical octave. So you cannot (based on a somewhat short remark in the book) necessarily conclude that this is something you should look into. You should look into it if you feel intuitively that this is for you.

Let us point out that right now there is a lot of confusion about the topic out there.  Some have a genuine way of using it but some are just riding the wave and trying to make money on it or trying to make themselves famous.  So again you need to look at who is bringing this out, what is their intention, what is their vibration and then go from there.

Spiritual perspective on autism

Question: It is about my work. I work with children who have autism and who are handicapped. My question is what is the spiritual message to why there are so many children born on earth with autism and the medical world gives them a lot of medication and what can I do as an ascended master student to help them.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

Again there are various reasons why certain children have autism. You begin to realise I trust that it is very difficult on a planet like earth to give universal absolute explanations that apply to all cases. There are children with autism who have a high level of spiritual development. They come in with this handicap or even other handicaps because they recognize that when they are in physical embodiment, they have an opportunity to (so to speak) hold the spiritual balance for the earth and help raise the collective consciousness. They feel that whatever they did in an active way would actually detract from that. So they are anchored in the physical octave but they are not pulled into physical activities and therefore they are able to work at higher levels and hold that spiritual balance.

There are other life streams who manifest autism because they have a lower state of consciousness. In some cases it is simply because they have such a low state of consciousness from past lives that they need to be given an opportunity to be in embodiment. This can very, very slowly bring some healing so that in their next life time they can actually begin to grow. In this lifetime they can’t really move on and that’s why they don’t have normal awareness but they are still in embodiment.

There are some who have gone into such darkness and evil that for complicated karmic reasons they need to be given the opportunity to be in embodiment. They are not able to maintain a normal state of awareness and if they were they would make so much more karma for themselves and create so much more havoc. There are many lifestreams who are like this who are not allowed to come into physical embodiment but they go into the astral plane, a part of the emotional realm.

There are a few that for a variety of complex reasons are allowed to take on a body so that they can be in embodiment and thereby they can have an opportunity to sense what life is like in the physical octave. In a sense they have an opportunity to sense that they themselves are completely powerless and they can then realise that this is what they have done to other people in past lives – enslaved them, make them powerless. Strange as it may seem sometimes this can bring a shift in consciousness where they have a desire to overcome this state of consciousness where they now realise that it was what they did to others that caused themselves to be in this situation.

So what can you do for them! Well you can always if you feel this is part of your divine plan, you can make the calls for them. You will if you work with this, gradually be able to increase your intuition so you can sense what you can do on an individual level. The darker lifestreams you can make calls for them to be cut free from demons, discarnates, entities even darker forces.

You can if you feel so inclined (but I don’t necessarily say you should do this) make calls for the transmutation of some their karma. For the darkest lifestreams there is not so much you can do therefore I encourage you not to put too much attention on it.

Then there are the spiritually evolved lifestreams who are here just to use the physical body as an anchor point and you don’t really need to do much for them.

Then there are the ones that are in between, this is where you can have more effect by making the calls but also in many cases by talking to them if you have the opportunity to do so, especially if you can be alone with a child, you can talk to them as if they were not in a handicapped state. Of course at higher levels they do have awareness, by talking to them you can help them heal and help them grow.

Really it is so individual that you need to use the tools to increase your attunement and your discernment as to how to use your energy and your attention. Whether it can actually help that life stream or has little chance of having any effect or whether it isn’t needed.

A saviour complex of avatars

Question: In the book of “My Lives” the protagonist in the book, he states that when he was working with his advisers about coming to planet earth, he says that his judgement was somewhat clouded and this affected his decision making process (in making the decision to come to planet earth) and that he had developed somewhat of a saviour complex. I am just wondering how was it with Jesus when he was deciding to come to planet earth when he was working with his advisers. Did he have more clarity than the protagonist in the book, or did he have some confusion maybe as well when he was opting to take his first embodiment on planet earth.  Also would Jesus consider releasing a book describing his sojourn on planet earth and the main events in the various different lifetime’s that he had here from his first embodiment up to his ascension. 

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

What I would like you to take from not only the book on “My Lives” but also what I will say here is that planet earth is a teaching device. That means that everybody who has come into physical embodiment has needed to learn something from coming here. What is described with the protagonist in the book is really not just one lifestream but sort of a compendium of what many avatars have had in their minds that motivated them to come to earth. You understand that an avatar is not mandated to come to earth for any karmic reasons but chooses to embody here. All of us who have come to earth as avatars, myself included, have had a motivation that we saw as completely benign and in a sense it was completely benign.

Nevertheless we also had some unbalanced view; we had some aspect of a saviour complex. This was what we personally needed to learn as the protagonist describes, where he came to realise that he needed to let go of this and he was not here to change anyone. We have all had to go through that process where in the end you look at the earth with all of the imperfections, all of the suffering that is here and you come to that full acceptance of free will. You recognize that you are not here to change any other person; you are only here to change your self. Of course you recognize that you are here and in doing this, in changing yourself you give an example that people can take if they want to.

You have to come to the point in order to ascend, where you have made peace with free will and the concept of free will and how it is allowed to outplay itself on a planet like earth. You are able to actually look at all of the suffering without going into an emotional reaction but seeing beyond the suffering to where you see that this is the only way that free will can outplay itself. Because when people go below a certain level of consciousness, they must act out that consciousness until they have had enough of it. Not only enough of the suffering (which many people have fairly quickly) but they have had enough of the consciousness that brought about the suffering.

So you come to that point where you actually make peace with earth as it is and you actually then feel that even though you came here to produce a positive change, you can now leave the earth even though you haven’t produced that change.

This is a process we have all had to go through, in a sense you could say that we all have a personal version of a saviour complex or we wouldn’t have volunteered to take embodiment here. So we all have to learn to overcome that and see what it was that motivated us personally to make that judgement that something was wrong on earth and something needed to be changed.

Now again it is a delicate issue because naturally there is much suffering on earth. Naturally many people are caught in this and have not made a conscious choice to go into this, they have made unconscious choices. Nevertheless free will is free will. So even though we can come here and shine a light in the darkness, we cannot start manipulating people even for their own good into accepting that light.

In terms about bringing out a book that would detail all of my embodiments,  it is not my immediate intention to do so partly because I have of course had so many embodiments that it would be difficult to describe them all, it would be impossible in one book. Also because I actually do not want to put too much emphasis on myself beyond what has already been done. The book about “My Lives” is actually meant to deflate some of the idolatry created around my person by the Christian Churches and by even many people in the New Age communities. We have the intent of giving people a teaching that can help them off the idolatry and then not really adding onto it.

The concept of angels and progressive revelation

Question: What is the difference between working with angels or Ascended Masters?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

Well my beloved a complex question in the sense that, you will notice that we do not talk very much about angels in this dispensation. There are of course many people in the world who are used to working with angels. Who feel they have attunement with the angels and who are very focused on angels. Basically I would say that if people feel that they have their awareness on angels, they have attunement with angels then they need to continue to pursue that until they feel from within a shift. For those of you who are open to this teaching, I would say that focus on attunement with the ascended masters, you could say that there are some like the archangels who are called archangels but you can also very well see them as ascended masters.

To some degree there is no difference when you reach a certain level in the ascended realm, whether you came from the angelic realm or have ascended from earth or become an ascended master in other ways, you are an ascended master and we see ourselves more and more as ascended masters. So it is an individual matter, it’s really up to you individually. But if you open to these teachings then focus on ascended masters. I will say that there are naturally many people in the world who think they are attuned to angels. But they are not really attuned to beings in the spiritual realm but more in the lower identity realm or the mental realm who are sometimes presenting themselves as angels and so that is something to be aware of.

Truly this is an example to some degree of how we have to adapt our teachings to what people already know. So for a long, long time on this earth there has been the concept of angels whereas for a long time there wasn’t the concept of ascended masters publicly known.

So we have given teachings that also talked about angels especially in previous dispensations. The fact of the matter is that before ascended masters was a publicly known concept, many of the people who had attunement with angels were actually tuned in to what we now call ascended masters. You could say of course that ascended masters is just a name that we are using in this age, so some of what people see as angels are actually ascended masters. But we are all really spiritual beings who have no names, we give you a name because we realise that people, most people need a name. Truly we are not confined by the name, we are not trapped in the name; the name does not define us. We have given teachings where we talked about angels again in order to give people the continuity from what they were used to, for example from Christian teachings. But now we wish to actually take you to a higher level where the distinction is really not made because you see that we are all one in the spiritual realm, so it is not that there is any big difference because there is no contradiction between angels and ascended masters.

You have to be very careful in your mind that you don’t see some kind of distinction that can lead you to think that there is a contradiction or some competition or some conflict between the two. There are people who might present it that way, there are certain teachings in the world that present it that way but that is because they are attuned to these beings in the mental and lower identity realm that are not actually in the spiritual realm. Naturally in the spiritual realm there is no conflict, there is no separation, there is no division, we are all one and we know this.

Of course the concept of oneness is extremely difficult to convey to people who are unascended. It is extremely difficult to convey in words, so the difficulty I’m having here in answering the question is really that you can only really experience oneness. It cannot be conveyed in words. That is why you have to again step beyond the linear mind that wants to separate and categorise and label everything and say angels are like this and ascended masters are like this. I know many people have done this but this is not something I want to encourage at this point. That is why I tell you that it is important to recognise that there is oneness in the ascended realm and it is very difficult to fathom oneness when you are not ascended because everything on earth is so dominated and defined by the differences.

Children and dark forces

Question: My question is about dark forces attacking young children, they are six or eight years old and they don’t understand, they are afraid, they don’t sleep. I come to them as their mothers invite me but I cannot explain to them why the dark forces attack them and they are so young. 

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

In some cases where children are attacked by dark forces, it is because they have a certain spiritual attainment and a potential to reach a higher level of consciousness in this lifetime or to do something important in society and the dark forces want to derail their mission at the earliest possible age. In other cases, it is because these children have deep wounds in their psychology from past lives that make them vulnerable to these dark forces who are always seeking to attack whomever they can.

What you can do in this case and it goes for all of you, if you encounter this phenomenon. Is that first of all you can make the calls for protection and for these children to be cut free by Astrea, protected by Archangel Michael and so on. Depending on the age and the awareness of the child, you can also try to talk to them openly and explain to them to them that there are certain dark forces that are trying to attack them and that they have a right to say, “NO”. You understand as we have said many times that when you make calls for other people, we of the ascended masters cannot step in and go against these people’s free-will. So, in some cases, it is actually necessary that the children come to the awareness that there is a dark force that is attacking them and that they have a right to say, “NO” – to use their free will to refuse to be influenced by these forces.

This cannot work in every case because in some cases there is a more complex reason where children can in past lives, have invited certain dark forces to come into their consciousness. This can happen for a variety of reasons. This means that the child may not be at a level of understanding and awareness where it can deal with this. It may be able to do this later in life, especially if it is open to a spiritual teaching but there will be a few children that you cannot help. You need to accept this, that you cannot help them because they have invited the dark forces in for such a complex reason. Then they are not willing or ready to look at this and therefore you cannot make calls that go against the free will of the child because the child needs to come to an inner awareness and resolution where it makes the choice to let go of this dark force.

In some cases this is because in a past life, the children wanted power and they so to speak, sold their soul to the devil, and said: “I’ll allow you in if you give me power in this situation.” It could be for example that they wanted a relationship to a certain person and they would say: “If you make this person fall in love with me, then I’ll allow you in.” or it can be many other aspects.

It can also be that they didn’t want to take responsibility for themselves, so they invited a dark force in so they didn’t have to make their own decisions. There are a variety of complex reasons for this and in that case, your calls cannot have an effect. Your talk to the child cannot have an effect and you may simply have to have patience and hope that as the child grows up it will become more aware of this and be willing to look at this complex psychology.

Setting boundaries on the spiritual path

Question: I have a question about fear of bringing the light of God down through your four lower bodies. If you have the experience of only attracting positive things but also people who are kind of invasive because they are so desperately attracted to the joy and the love you send out. The fear around that is that like an intuitive warning – you are not ready, you need to grow stronger or is it just an idea projected in your mind to prevent you from bringing the light down. 

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

A very important question my beloved, in the sense that you all face the issue of having to find a personal balance there. It is correct that in some cases when you grow on the path, when you become more of an open door for the light from your I AM Presence, people will be attracted to this. There will be some people that what we might call more positive, that are attracted to it because they see you have something they don’t have. But there will also be some that are attracted to this because they think they can take it from you. When this happens to you, it does not mean that you are wrong for expressing your light. It does not mean you should be afraid of it or you should stop it.

It is an opportunity for you to recognise that part of growing on the path is to increase your discernment. Discernment is not the same as the dualistic fear-based judgement. It is a Christ-based discernment and it is based on what helps people grow and what doesn’t help people grow. So you need to be discerning and say that there are some people where they just want to take my light and misuse it and therefore it doesn’t help them to grow that I give it to them and so I don’t. But you can also look at yourself and say:” What is my attitude to life and to other people?”

And then you recognise that many of you have a desire to help others and to be a positive person in the world, of positive influence in the world and that has been part of the driving force that have driven you to rise to the current level of your path, where you can be the open door for the light.

The next step up is to look at this also with more discernment and then recognise that there could be certain aspects of your attitude that are not the highest possible. As the messenger described, he thought he had to be kind to all people and be able to have a harmonious relationship to all people, which in his mind had translated to a great reluctance to actually say no to people. Many of you have this where you feel that whenever somebody comes to you and demands something from you, you have to give them what they want or at least you have to try to help them. Or if they come to you and try to get you into some kind of argument or disharmony, you feel like you should try to get them to be harmonious or you should try to have a harmonious relationship with them or you should change yourself or bend in order to accommodate that.

This is an example of how your positive view of life that has helped you rise to a certain level can now become a hindrance and you need to look at it and simply develop your discernment and recognise that on a planet like this you are not meant to be kind and positive and open and loving and harmonious with everybody. You are actually meant to discern, maybe not consciously but certainly intuitively, what level is a certain person at and can I help that person or not? If you intuitively sense that you cannot help another person, perhaps because they are not willing to change, perhaps they want to steal your light then you have a right to choose not to interact with such people.

This very much is a matter of as you grow in Christhood, as you become more and more aware of your Divine Plan, as I’ve said earlier, you begin to focus on what you can deal with and what you are not meant to deal with – what is part of your Divine Plan, what is not part of your Divine Plan.

There are certain people that it is part of your Divine Plan to help. There are other people that it’s not part of your Divine Plan to help deal with and therefore you have a right to select these people out of your life. It is not an unkindness, it is not that you are ignoring people or putting them down. You are just realising those I cannot help and therefore I have a right to choose that I do not want to deal with that level of consciousness. When you make that decision in yourself you are drawing a boundary. You will find that over time, perhaps you will be challenged several times to reinforce the boundary but over time you will begin to attract these people less and less.

It’s simply because the dark forces who are always trying to derail your progress, they realise that they cannot derail your progress through these people any more, so what’s the point in sending them. They will try to find some other way but then you just continue to increase your discernment so you become able to see through that as well. It is very important that you come to a certain level where you recognise this.

You have the right to set boundaries and you can look at a lower level of a certain path, many people have the sense, for example, that you have to be kind and loving to everybody. It’s perfectly alright to have that at a certain level but then you comet to that higher level where you begin to say, “Who am I meant to help according to my Divine Plan?” Then I focus on those people and I ignore the others, no matter how aggressive or persistent they are.

Question: What if it is family?

Yes, my Beloved. We understand that family is a challenge. You need to realise that there are levels of consciousness. There is a certain level of consciousness where it is constructive for you to say, “I must have chosen to incarnate in a family with these people for a reason. Why have I done this?” You need to ask yourself first of all,”What am I meant to learn about myself? What am I meant to see and resolve in my own psychology, so that I can find a constructive way to deal with my family members?” So this is a legitimate state of your path but there comes a higher level of your path and basically it could be expressed in different ways but we can say it this way. When you have overcome a certain level of consciousness in yourself, you have a right to make the choice that you don’t want to deal any more with people who are at a corresponding level of consciousness.

Now for example, many of you are spiritual people are not aggressive people but you have certain family members that are very aggressive. That doesn’t mean that you have to come to see that you have aggression in yourself. In most cases it means that you have to come to see that you have the opposite polarity of being too accommodating, too unwilling to draw boundaries. When you come to the point where you have seen this, you have resolved it in yourself, you have resolved the underlying belief, for example that you thought you had to be kind to everybody.

Then you have a right to say, “I have transcended that level of consciousness and now I really don’t want to have to deal with these very aggressive people any more.” This applies also if they are family members. So you have two options here. You have the one option is that you can break off physical contact with your family members. But you also have the option that you can find a different way to deal with them where you simply don’t allow them to express their aggression or whatever it may be or you don’t respond to it as you have been used to doing. You find a new way where you let it pass through you without reacting to it. So it’s a choice you have to make. Do I want to break off physical contact with my family members or not?

Of course when you look at the world, you can see that there are some countries where the bond between family members is much stronger than in others. In many of what we have talked about that are the more affluent nations, especially in the west, you can see that the family ties are no longer as strong as they were generations ago. But many nations, for example in Asia, have much stronger family ties still.

So, it is a matter of being sensitive to your culture but you do need to come to a point on the spiritual path where you recognise that a family on earth is sort of an artificial division. Because as you grow towards higher levels of Christhood and recognise the importance of oneness, you recognise you have a certain oneness with all people. In a sense, the human family is your extended family.

There may come a point where it is necessary for you to look at your attitude, your view of family and even though it may cause condemnation from your family members, you may have a right to say: “ I am selecting this family member out of my life.” It is a right you have. Now my beloved, be careful here. I’m not encouraging all of you to do this. I’m encouraging all of you to go through the process of learning what you need to learn, overcoming what you need to overcome in your own consciousness. I’m not saying you should go out and say, I don’t want to deal with this family member because he disturbs me and makes me uncomfortable and in order to avoid having to look at myself, I’m going to break-off contact. This is not what I’m encouraging.

If you have done that then I encourage you to go back into a situation and deal with what it is you need to deal with in your psychology, so that you can now be completely non-reactive to that family member. But when you have risen to the level, where you are non-reactive then you have a right to say: “I just don’t want these kind of people in my life.”

The spiritual cause of refugees crisis and other problems in the affluent nations

Question: I have a question about refugees. There are refugees coming from the Middle East to Europe for example to many modern countries. I see that there is strong reaction from our countries to the refugees. How do you suggest a better approach, a more love based approach. 

Kim: They have actually given teachings about this before, where they have said that part of the reason for this is that Europe isn’t changing fast enough. These people are coming in and forcing Europe to deal with these issues. Mother Mary will comment on it also.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

The issue of refugees is in some way tied to the issue of the homeless. What you need to recognise is that with privilege comes responsibility. Many of the nations in Europe have been privileged to have great material affluence, a very well-developed society where things are functioning very well. What has happened too many of these nations is that they have become comfortable. The welfare society has become the comfortability society where nations and individuals have felt that they are doing well; they are doing as well as they need to do. They don’t need to really challenge themselves any more – they don’t need to really strive for anything because everything is functioning and the economy is good and the welfare is at a high level. Nobody is really poor and nobody is really in a destitute situation.

Actually what ideally could have happened was that during the 1990’s and early 2000’s these affluent nations could have stepped up to a higher level, of among other things focusing on psychological welfare but also on expanding out beyond their own borders and saying, “But we can’t be satisfied with having welfare just for our own citizens, we also need to look at other nations.”

As I have said before, because that didn’t happen, instead of helping certain people in their own nations, these affluent nations are now being forced to help these people within their own borders because the people are coming to them. It is also really a matter of recognising that when you have been given the privilege of having a high material affluence, this is not something just to be used for self-gratification and enjoyment. It is to be used as a platform for spiritual growth so that people can focus more on their spiritual growth and don’t have all of their attention and energy sucked into making a living.

Because people haven’t done this, primarily because these affluent nations have remained materialistic, then they have missed a certain opportunity and in order to give them another opportunity, they are being forced to deal with certain people and certain problems that actually show the limits of their compassion – the limits of their sense of being willing to help other people because there is an underlying oneness of all people.

When you step up to a higher spiritual level, you step up in oneness. Because the nations have not done that – they have isolated themselves then they are now being forced to see the shortcomings of their current level. This does not mean that these nations are at a low level or bad level but it just means that they are ready to step up to a higher level. They haven’t done so and because they haven’t been willing to do so voluntarily so to speak or of their own accord then they are being forced to see the limitations of their current level so they can have an impetus to rise to a higher level in order to deal with these problems that they cannot deal with right now.

You will see that at the current level of awareness and the current attitude that these nations have, they can’t deal with the problems of the homeless, of the working poor, of those who have no purpose and no hope for their lives and the refugees coming in. There will be other problems that will begin to manifest – that have already begun to manifest especially in terms of mental health problems. This will force these nations to step up to a higher level because they haven’t taken the opportunity when the time was there to step-up of their own volition.

Switzerland and its role in the world

Question: I want to ask about Switzerland – it seems to be a small country. Switzerland seems to have a different position in the world than other countries. Can the masters give a different view on what is Switzerland’s role? From not being a member of the European Union. It has a very strong position in the world despite being a small country.  

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

Many things could be said about Switzerland and the role of Switzerland. What I wish to give you at this point is that Switzerland is a country that has a high potential for bringing a different perspective into the world. In many ways it has already done so partly by the direct democracy being one of the forerunners of direct democracy. Switzerland is also a country that has a tendency to isolate itself and become very, very comfortable in that isolation even building a certain sense of superiority that actually prevents the nation from living up to its highest potential.

It should also be recognised that there is a very big contrast in Swiss society between the population and a hidden elite that is not generally well known. This of course is parallel to what you see in the Himalayan Mountains which are also some of the tallest mountains of the world. You often have a tendency that, in the mountains, people gather who have some spiritual development but also the fallen beings who have a very low level of consciousness.

So, in India you have many gurus that are genuine and that have reached a higher level of consciousness but you also have many false gurus. In Switzerland you have some people who have reached a high level of consciousness but you also have some fallen beings who make up a very, very dominant elite (for example) that is behind the Swiss banking system, which has for a long time managed to operate without transparency and accountability and thereby enabled fallen beings in other countries to do these financial transactions that would not stand the light of day and are not in accordance with the laws of society or the spiritual laws.

So you have very big contrasts in the country and currently Switzerland is not living up to its highest potential partly because there are not enough spiritual people that are open to a challenging teaching like the one we are giving. It is because even the spiritual people of Switzerland have become too comfortable.

The entire nation is actually enveloped in this cloud of comfortability where they feel that they don’t have to deal with certain issues because they can isolate and insulate themselves from the world if they don’t want to deal with these certain challenges. This means they are not dealing with challenges in their national psychology, in their individual psychology and that is why the nation isn’t growing as fast as it could grow. It is certainly one of the nations in Europe that it is in the group of nations that has the lowest growth rate spiritually, Regardless of what is happening at the physical level.

Current conditions on earth from a growth perspective

Question: Maybe give a current assessment about the planet earth now, so are we going in a good direction, because you hear a lot of things about the housing market worsening. So is the energy getting less dense and are there more people ascending. Could you give a general assessment about our planet earth?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

Well my beloved, this is of course a complex topic, because the earth is as I said yesterday – made up of many different groups of people. So if you look at it generally (as the planet as a whole) then the earth is rising in awareness.

The earth is being pulled up higher, partly by the rest of the universe that has accelerated so far beyond where the earth is at that you could barely even fathom it. We have talked about natural planets but many of the planets in the universe have accelerated to a much higher level of natural planets. There are of course still natural planets but they have accelerated tremendously. But you are also partly being pulled up by the fact that more and more people are raising their consciousness.

Of course when you look at the earth, you can see that there are certain pockets of people that are resisting this growth and therefore in a sense are having to go into various states of crisis mode, of dualistic consciousness, the epic struggle in order to resist the growth, the upward pull. You also have to recognise that as the planet goes higher and especially as it goes through the shift from Pisces to Aquarius it is necessary that there are certain areas where there is more contrast. In other words people act out certain things to a more extreme degree, in order to make certain problems more visible.

You can look at this as an isolated phenomenon and you would say that there is a downward trend or things are going backwards. If you only look at it as a localised phenomenon you can of course be right and you can say that there are certain (for example) the financial markets or the housing markets or growing conflicts in Africa, human trade or many other problems around the world where you can see that these problems are increasing, they are becoming more worse. So if you only look at the isolated phenomenon you could say that there is a downward trend here.

But when you step back and look at the planet as a whole you are actually seeing that these are actually effects of the upward trend. Because as the planet is pulled upwards those people who resist the growth, they have to become more and more extreme in acting out their fear based tendencies. Basically the purpose is for their own sake they get a more and more extreme experience, so that they can more quickly have enough of it.

But the other purpose is that other people can look at this and they can more clearly see the need to step up higher in order for the planet to transcend that particular problem. Like what was just said – in the rich nations the number of homeless is increasing, partly to give those people who are responsible for shifting society a more clear demonstration that something is out of balance and needs to be brought back into balance.

As I said last night we of the ascended masters are not frustrated with the earth. Of course we have compassion and would like to see all people overcome suffering. But we recognise that this cannot be done instantly because ultimately what is it that is going to bring people beyond suffering. It is not a physical change in an outer condition; it is a shift in their consciousness.

So you could say there are many poor people around the world, couldn’t you just go in and create better living conditions for them, give them jobs, give them money and give them the physical conditions so that they were not living in poverty. But the reality is that this would not actually help them from a growth perspective. They need to go through a gradual process of shifting their consciousness and thereby seeing that as they shift their consciousness, their outer situation will also change.

That is why Saint Germain said the solution to the homeless problem is not more social programmes, “why are people homeless” it is partly because they have an imbalance in their consciousness. So this is an opportunity for them to begin to look at that imbalance and overcome it. This doesn’t change the fact that of course society needs to change and take power away from the elite. I am just saying that when you look at the earth and everything that is happening on the earth, everything that happens is an opportunity at some level. That doesn’t mean that we approve of what is happening, that we want to see it happen, that we want it to go on happening.

As I said we have this absolute acceptance of free will and therefore we recognise that if people cannot change in any other way, then they must act out in an extreme way a certain tendency. Therefore we need to respect that this is the way that they have chosen to grow. Of course they may not have chosen this consciously. But we also have to accept the fact that there is a high percentage of the people on earth who are not at a level of consciousness where they can choose to grow consciously. So they make unconscious choices, they experience consequences and thereby they hopefully, eventually come to the point of having had enough of a certain experience and they change. We must respect that this is the way they have chosen to grow. You as spiritual people need to have some acceptance of this, so that you do not get yourself out of balance by becoming overly focused on problems.

Now this messenger has said several times that when he was younger he was too compassionate and felt responsible for the planet, for other people and he has also gradually come to the acceptance that he is here to make a positive difference, as you are all here to make a positive difference. But you are not here to deliberately and forcefully change other people because people must be allowed to change from within. What that means for you is that, in your Divine plan there is specified that you are here to help raise the awareness about a certain issue, a certain problem, a certain aspect of life. But there are other aspects of life where it is not in your Divine plan to raise the awareness on that level.

Therefore there can come a point where you need to make a conscious decision that you simply will not focus your attention on these problems. Even though they are going on and people are suffering tremendously, if it is not in your Divine plan that this is the area where you need to focus your attention and energy. Then you have a right as this messenger has concluded to simply say “I can’t put my attention on this because it is too disturbing to me to feel the compassion for the peoples’ suffering.”

It doesn’t mean you don’t care, it doesn’t mean you become callous and insensitive, it just means that you recognise that on a planet as complex and as conflict filled as this one, you as an individual cannot solve every problem. Therefore you cannot have your attention on every problem because it divides your attention too much. It pulls your attention here and there and maybe pull on your emotional body and you end up going into an unbalanced state, where you suddenly can’t fulfil the purpose that you are here for because you can’t focus on the area where you are here to bring a change. Now in the invocation you have just given, there are some verses that say: “Help me see whether I need to do this through direct action or by making calls for the issue.”

There are certain areas in your Divine plan where it specifies that you need to go into the situation, you need to take certain actions because you need to experience a situation. There are others where you need to make calls but of course you need to have a certain discernment where you realise that we are giving you many different books and teachings that we want you to make calls on many different things. But we are not wanting each one of you to make calls on all of these things because we realise that none of you can deal with that.

You need to be discerning and its part of discovering your Divine plan but its also part of raising your awareness and being willing to make certain choices where you draw certain boundaries and say: “This I can deal with at my present level of consciousness and this I can’t deal with.” You have a right to ignore what you feel you can’t deal with.

Otherwise you can become frustrated and pulled into all the negative views and all the Doomsday theories and my beloved, a doomsday theory is just that – a theory. You can see that by the fact that these kinds of dire prophecies have been around for quite a long time but the earth is still there, the world hasn’t ended. My beloved, before the year 1000, the vast majority of Christians in Europe believed that Jesus would come back at the year 1000 and the world would end. Well that’s a 1000 years ago, my beloved and there has been a lot of water going under the bridge since then and the world has not ended.

As I’ve said before the world will not end in the near future and should that change I will be sure to let you know (laughter). My beloved, you need to find a balance because part of going up to the next level of your Divine plan is to find balance and this is something we will talk more about.

Higher level of the spiritual path and the concept of a Christ Self

Question: I want to ask about the concept of Christ Self, in the earlier teachings there was much talk of Christ Self but in the later years it is not even mentioned most of the time although in the invocation that we are now doing, there is in the rhymes, “the Key of knowledge given me. My Christ Self I embrace as you fill up my inner space” and in the books of abundant life and Master Keys to Spiritual Freedom it was said that Christ Self is a part of the ascended master body and it was not a part of us originally. And I wonder if there will be any more advanced teachings about this topic or why isn’t there any more talking about this. 

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

My Beloved we give our teachings in stages and as I talked about last night, in the beginning we wanted to create a certain continuity between the teachings we are giving now and the teachings we were giving in earlier dispensations. So the concept of a Christ Self is naturally valid but it needs to be seen that the Christ Self is an intermediary – an intermediary step between you and your I Am Presence. But the goal that we have is of course that you come to a point where you begin to have a more conscious contact with your I Am Presence directly.

At that point you don’t actually need your Christ Self as an intermediary because you become more and more able to bridge the gap and receive intuitive insights from your Christ Self and your I Am Presence. This doesn’t invalidate what was said earlier and there are still people who find the teachings and they need the teaching on the Christ Self but we also need to recognise that there comes a point where we take our teachings to a higher level and at that higher level the concept of a Christ Self is no longer so important. It kind of fades in the background because you have more of a direct contact, you become the Open door for your I Am Presence and you become able to tune into the ascended masters. When I say you I mean basically the Conscious You but as long as the Conscious You is identified with aspects of the outer personality, you cannot necessarily make that distinction. So it is you as you currently identify yourself.

Hidden cause of the growing number of homeless people is elitism

Question: In Ireland we have a homelessness crisis that is unprecedented in the history of the state. In towns and cities we have the scandal of people sleeping on the streets and sleeping in shop doorways. We have families that are put up in emergency accommodation and their lives are on hold indefinitely. There is the cost of accommodation, the cost of housing is astronomical and this problem of homelessness has spread, I think throughout other cities and towns throughout Western Europe. The cost of housing and having a place to live has become unaffordable for many people – so my question is: What is happening in our Western cities and towns in Europe that having a place to live, having a roof over one’s head is becoming more and more the preserve of the wealthy and the privileged?

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Holland in 2018

My Beloved the growing number of homeless people is of course an outer visible sign that something is completely out of balance in the richest nations of the world. It is not a matter of enacting social programmes even though I am not saying this shouldn’t be done. But it is a matter of recognising that dealing with the symptoms and trying to help the homeless is not going to do anything about the root of the problem.

The root of the problem is simply this: the growing concentration of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people. In other words elitism is the problem. The main reason why people get homeless is that housing has simply become too expensive in many of the more affluent nations. It seems to be a spiral without end because it is of course driven by the fallen beings and by the elite who have such an insatiable greed for money, that they are willing to artificially raise property prices to the point where more and more people cannot afford housing.

This is something that will go on until a critical mass of people in the affluent nations wake up and realise, that we have an underlying problem that we need to do something about and that we can no longer accept that our democratic nations are becoming more and more elitist. Therefore through the financial means are becoming more and more like the feudal societies of the Middle Ages where the noble class owned the land and owned the people on it.

Another aspect of this is of course that, as housing prices go up, it puts pressure on wages. So you have on the one hand, artificially inflated housing prices and you have on the other hand artificially inflated wages, so that in order to pay for the expensive housing people have to make more and more money. That means that there are certain businesses that take the manufacturing of goods to countries with lower wages and that loses jobs in the more affluent nations so that there is a growing number of people without education who cannot find a job or who are forced to take the kind of very low paid jobs that makes them what is now become known as the “working poor.” In other words people who are working in many cases two jobs but all of their income goes into paying for life’s basic necessities.

So there needs to be a kind of revolution of awareness, where people recognise that if we in the democratic world, in the most affluent nations of the world have a growing number of people who cannot afford to find housing or who are working constantly but only make enough money to pay for the basic necessities, then something has gone wrong.

We have betrayed the very ideals that made us free democracies, that made us affluent nations in the first place. Because we have allowed a small elite to undermine those ideals by using the financial instruments that they have created and which we in our naivete have allowed them to create.

So we need to wisen up and take a look at how the economy functions, how the money system functions, how the financial systems function. We need to simply take these privileges away from the elite that we have allowed them to create for themselves or we have allowed them to manipulate our governments and the media so they could create these privileged positions. A privileged elite is not compatible with a free democratic society and it certainly isn’t compatible with a Golden Age in which the concept of servant leadership will be the only form of leadership that is workable.

There is no title of the most evil being in the universe

Question: Who has the title of the most evil being in the universe?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

Well I’ll answer that because there’s no most evil being in the universe.  That’s just used as a general concept then, where they (the AM) might say that even the most evil being in the universe doesn’t have any power over God or whatever.  See – the fallen beings would like that there was such a title and there would probably be many of them whom would aspire for that title to be the most evil being in the universe – you see that really looks good on your CV (laughter).  You see the masters don’t recognise the hierarchy that the fallen beings have created amongst themselves, they might have created something like that – I don’t know but I’m sure that IF they created it they would never be able to agree on who it was – that was the most evil because they always have this rivalry.

Question: Is it also like saying who was the closest to God before that being fell?

Kim: No, no that’s not the right way to say it/ to look at it.  I know that you can find some teachings out there, I can’t remember what they are but there are some that say that Lucifer before he fell was the highest of the angels and that is just a complete creation of the fallen beings – they want to make it seem that way…

What you actually have to recognise there is that what the masters have explained about the fall – there was a previous sphere where the first beings fell.  And even though those beings had set themselves up on certain planets, you know so in other words, you imagine we have the material universe and let’s say that there – just say a number, there were a handful of planets where there were certain beings who set themselves up, on one particular planet let’s just say on that one planet there was one being that was the absolute, total leader and then the rest of  all of the billions of planets in our universe they were ready to ascend.

But these planets were not ready to ascend because they hadn’t raised their consciousness.  So those leaders were not close to God – they hadn’t fallen, but they were not close to God.  They were not the highest or most advanced in their sphere because the most advanced in terms of consciousness are always the most unselfish.  So the most selfish, self-centered beings who were trying to raise themselves up, they were the furtherest, they were the lowest in evolution in that sphere.

It’s just that they fell in a higher sphere and then after they fell they of course, they tried to build their power as separate beings, as fallen beings and they tried to steal peoples’ energy and use that energy to create some manifestations that made them seem powerful.  And since then some of them have gained a certain power, and a certain mastery over the dark arts, (“the dark side of the force” (laughter)) and so that makes them into certain… I have no doubt – fallen beings who are in a certain sense are much more powerful than I am and if I was attacked by them, I may not be able to defend myself, but I’m not planning on fighting them, I am just planning on letting Archangel Michael defend me.

So what I am saying is there is a misunderstanding that the fallen beings had a high position before they fell – they didn’t.  They want us to think that, they want us to think that, but it’s illogical that somebody could be very close to God and fall you see.  And you also have to recognise that there are various teachings out there that talk about fallen angels in a certain way and even in the Summit Lighthouse for example they talk about that Lucifer was a high ranking angel before he fell – an Archangel before he fell but what they never explained was how could such a being fall?  And then you have the phrase in the Bible – the Book of Revelation where it talks about Lucifer how art though fallen from heaven and the whole idea was that there was a war in heaven and he fought, the dragon fought Archangel Michael and Archangel Michael kicked him out.  But how can there be a war in heaven?  It makes no sense.

And that’s why the only thing that I’ve ever seen that makes any sense to me is what the Ascended Masters have given me, that there was a previous sphere that wasn’t ascended and that’s why they could fall.  So even the thing that Lucifer was an Archangel is not even correct because an Archangel cannot fall.  You don’t ascend to that level and you then can fall afterwards because here’s why.  They want to portray it – the fallen beings want to portray it so that there’s always temptation to use your free will to go against God because if you don’t have the potential to go against God you don’t really have free will.  So they will say that if you are an Archangel you still free and therefor you could potentially fall.  But the thing is that as an Archangel you have free will but how have you risen to that position?  By raising your awareness so you realised, you experience the Oneness of all life and if you experience the Oneness of all life you can’t fall.  Not because you couldn’t make the choice but because you couldn’t be stupid enough to make the choice, you couldn’t be unaware enough to make that choice.

It’s only through an unawareness of the basic reality of life that you can fall because if you are really close to God and understand the genius of free will and how free will works – you can’t fall.  You cannot make that choice.  I mean you can theoretically but you wouldn’t.  You know, if I’m standing in total darkness with a gun I could shoot myself in the foot but if I’m standing in the lightroom and I can see my foot, would I choose to shoot myself in the foot?  No – I’m not that dumb but I still have free will when I choose not to shoot myself in the foot.

Question: God is Love and this would also mean that it embodies fear or is fear something that is only in the body?

Kim: Yeah but even saying God is Love is not really covering what God is.  Beings can fall if they have fear but they don’t have to have fear to fall.  They can fall because they don’t have the awareness of the Oneness of all life and therefore they think they are smart enough for example to know that God made a mistake and it’s not really that they are evil at that point.  There are beings who can fall out of the best of intentions they just don’t have the awareness.  Because free will in order to work itself out, a being must allow – in an unascended sphere there’s no limit to what an unascended being can do, how high it can raise itself up if it can get other beings to believe in it.  Or even in its own mind it can raise itself up and there’s no limit to that.  And so that’s why that even when they fall they can even be allowed to have some existence after that for a very, very long time until – I mean there is sort a limit to how long they can go on with that, but other than that there is no limit to the illusion you can create in your mind.

That’s why you can fall so you could have the best of intentions and genuinely believe as I think some fallen beings did that God make a mistake by giving us free will because it puts the entire universe at risk, so you could genuinely believe that.  It isn’t reality when you see the Oneness of all life, you see that it’s not a correct viewpoint.  But you could fall out of that and you can’t really say that that’s an “evil” being that falls – it can then later turn into an evil being but I think that many fallen beings are not doing evil things and they don’t even outwardly appear to be evil and they are probably the ones that are the most difficult to spot.

Many spiritual people reject or avoid life

Question: If we have a higher than average level of consciousness why do so many spiritual people have great difficulty managing the outer world and coping with life as it’s generally lived on the outer?  Many spiritual people’s work lives are very chaotic and they have difficulty making and holding on to money?  And spiritual people in general seem to be the least well equipped for dealing with the challenges of the material world – why is this so?  Why is there this discrepancy?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

Well, my beloved the answer is in the book – in the sense that what we describe in the book is that, many avatars have come to earth have been very shocked, very traumatised of conditions here. And so as a result of this you build a certain, it can be as we have talked about –anger, a certain resentment, a certain unwillingness to really engage in life in the physical octave.  And this can partly be because of the shock and trauma you experienced here.  It can partly be because you have a sense that things could be different, that you have experienced a world where things were different.  And therefore subconsciously many of you have this tendency to say that you are basically rejecting earth.  You are basically saying “I will not engage fully in life, I will only do the absolute minimum I have to do to sustain some physical existence”.

And therefore you are many times letting circumstances decide what job you have or how long you have it.  Many of you also have a certain mechanism of trying to avoid the pain that really goes all the way back to your original trauma when you came here.  But in order to avoid that original pain you have set up some compensatory mechanisms where, whenever a situation seems to stir up your wound you want to withdraw from it.  So whenever you are in a job that seems to stir up your wounds you just go away from there and try to find something else.  So your whole life becomes a chase for finding this place where nobody is pushing your buttons or stirring up your wounds.

So you are making what we have called avoidance decisions.  Where instead of making a decision about what you want in life you are driven by what you don’t want and you are making decisions that you think will cause you to avoid what you don’t want.

And so the only way out of this is really to look at what is described in this book, look at the whole process and decide whether you are at the point where you are ready to exit earth and then you focus on qualifying for your ascension.  But most of you are not quite at that point because you need to go through a certain phase before you are ready to exit earth.  And that phase is that you actually accept life on earth and you engage in it in a positive way.  It does not mean that you have to do the same that non spiritual people do but it just means that you accept that you are here.  You accept that the planet is the way it is.  And then you say to yourself “well as long as I am here – why not have the best possible life?  Why not actually enjoy being here?  Why not feel good about myself as a person on earth?  Why not feel good about my life?  Why not feel good about the planet, other people, the physical octave?”  Embrace life instead of trying to avoid it.

And if you can make that leap, then first of all the rest of your life will be more enjoyable, but it is also a necessary preparation for actually making your ascension, because there are some people including ascended master students who have thought that making your ascension means withdrawing from every aspect of life.  But that is rarely what it means.

Some people may need to withdraw for a cycle but in most cases you cannot actually ascend from earth, you cannot become non-attached to earth until you have embraced life here.  So there is a delicate balance you are walking.  On the one hand you do not want to be pulled into these unfulfillable desires of always seeking more and more money or recognition or whatever.  But on the other hand you don’t want to deny your desires and basically decide that there is nothing enjoyable on this earth and as a spiritual person you should walk the “Via Dolorosa” and constantly feel bad about the earth because feeling bad is the way to overcome your attachments.  But feeling bad is not the way to overcome your attachments my beloved.  Feeling good about your self is a faster and more enjoyable way to overcome attachments.

In many cases the worse you feel the less you can overcome your attachment because you actually build another attachment to feeling bad.  And you have many Christians who have walked what they call the “Via Dolorosa” and they may have developed some non-attachment to certain aspects of what they call ‘worldly life’ or ‘carnal life’ but they have just built another internal spirit that is one huge attachment to what they see is a kind of suffering.

So again, decide what you want to do with the rest of your life.  Do you want to continue this pattern of basically being on planet earth, you cannot avoid being here but you are subconsciously rejecting being here, making your life more difficult?  Or do you want to make the shift that this book is designed to help you make and many of our other teachings are designed to help you make, where you embrace at least some aspects of life on earth and feel good about yourself, feel good about these activities, feel good about being on earth?

It is much easier to have a positive experience and then naturally overcome your attachments than to try to force yourself to overcome your attachments.  You can force yourself to overcome a specific attachment but the price you pay is you build another attachment and that doesn’t actually help you ascend.

The current crypto currencies are not the golden age’s money system

Question: What is the role of crypto currencies in the coming years and in the Golden Age?

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

I will not give you a thorough comment on this topic for now because it has many subtle ramifications.  What I will say is that it is obvious that in the Golden Age there needs to be a different kind of money system.  And it needs to be a money system that isn’t based on, for example gold coins or seashells or seeds or whatever people have used for money in the past.  So it needs to be a currency that is created on the internet, in the virtual world – whatever you want to call it.

However the current crypto currencies will not become that money system and it’s for various reasons.  But one of them is that the money system of the Golden Age will have to be controlled by the State, not some private company.  And eventually in the Golden Age there will be a planetary money system that is controlled by a central authority.  And the money system of the Golden Age will be completely free of any self-interest and the current crypto currencies are not free of this by any stretch of the imagination.

Some of them are basically pyramid schemes set up to allow the first people who get in on it to make an inordinate amount of money, as you have a second phase of people who jump into it because they are investors looking for the next easy money.  And they think that the value of the crypto currency will go up like the value of the stock market.  And some of them are even smart enough to realise that this cannot go on forever and therefore there will come either a crash or at least various ups and downs.

But the other problem with some of these crypto currencies like Bitcoin says that there is from the start defined an upper limit to how many could ever be created and that of course cannot be a functioning money system because there could be no upper limit because the amount of money needs to go up as more wealth is created in society.  And in the Golden Age the amount of wealth will constantly be increased simply by the mechanisms we have talked about where more and more people become able to bring spiritual light into the physical octave.  And this will increase the amount of material wealth that is available.

So you need to have an open ended currency but you also need to have a currency where there’s not private people who download a piece of software, and use their computer to mine these coins.  But the amount is controlled by the State so that the amount can be adjusted up or down depending on what is needed to exchange goods and services.  I have said before that in a Golden Age a society cannot allow people to make money off of money and this is of course what many people hope to do right now with the crypto currencies.

Shamanic rituals and the growth of the nation

Question: Many Estonian people participate in secret plants ceremonies and other shamanic rituals.  How does it affect our national psyche and spirituality?  Some of us have seen the dangers of it and give it up but how does it affect our bodies and nerve systems and can they be damaged badly that we cannot fulfil our divine plans full potential?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

My beloved we have spoken before about these various plants or other kinds of drugs that are said to have other spiritual affects and what I will focus on here is your direct questions.  There are some more severe drugs that can damage your nervous system to the point where it becomes very difficult for you to tune into your I AM Presence or to be the open door for the I AM Presence because your physical nervous system has been damaged.  But these are what you call the more hard core drugs that lead to addiction.

Ayahuasca will not damage this to the point where you cannot fulfil your divine plan.  But this is not to be interpreted as I in anyway say “oh you can do it anyway because it doesn’t have a negative effect”.   It does have various negative effects on you individually because when you use a chemical to stimulate the brain and nervous system this is actually contrary to the process of spiritual awakening.  Because spiritual awakening is by its nature that you stop identifying yourself with your four lower bodies and start shifting your sense of identity to something beyond the material world, the four levels of the material world.

And so regardless of what experiences you have as a result of this, these experiences are actually in most cases produced by your nervous system – your brain.  There are chemical processes in the brain that give you various sensations and experiences that you may feel are very spiritual and mystical but it is still a product of the brain and this doesn’t help you break your identification with it.

Now, there are always exceptions where there are certain people who have reached a level of spiritual development where when they take a certain drug, they can switch out of their normal state of awareness and have a more genuine spiritual experience.  And these are the kind of people who will generally sense that they can leave behind these chemicals and pursue the spiritual growth in other ways.  And that means that, as one American author said “that the drugs just serve to give you a certain message that there are other states of awareness and that there are better ways to achieve them than using a chemical substance”.  The wording that was used was “when you get the message hang up the phone”.

And so what we are doing here, what I am doing here is a delicate balance.  I know that many, many spiritual people have used various kinds of drugs and I am in no way wanting you to feel that you have suddenly aborted your divine plan or that you have no chance of reaching higher levels of consciousness or making your ascension in this lifetime because you at a previous time used some kind of chemical substance.

On the other hand I am in no way, shape or form encouraging spiritual people to use any kind of chemical to get a so called ‘spiritual’ or ‘unusual’ experience.  If you “let us put it this was” are open to what I am saying and that I am an Ascended Master speaking this, then you are beyond the level that you need a chemical substance.  It will be much better for your growth that you pursue spiritual growth in other ways.  And that you are not so focused on having these spiritual experiences because they are not actually that important for your spiritual growth.

It is a misunderstanding by many spiritual people that having a peak experience for example is a sign that you are spiritually advanced.  As we have actually said before, the more you raise your consciousness the less of a contrast or distance will there be between your normal everyday consciousness and for example what we can call the Christ consciousness.

So this means that you will not get a ‘peak’ experience because there is no contrast.  You only have a peak when you have a valley.  You only have it when there’s a relative experience between a high and a low.  And so as you go higher in Christhood you have less and less of a distance and therefore there’s no highs or lows in your consciousness.

What many people are calling enlightenment, if they experienced enlightenment they would actually be very disappointed because it is not this dramatic shift in consciousness.  Enlightenment is a non-dualistic state of consciousness and in a non-dualistic consciousness where is the contrast?  Where is the high and the low, the good and the bad?  It isn’t there.  And so there are many spiritual people who would be hugely disappointed if they suddenly experienced enlightenment and they would say “Oh! this can’t be it – this can’t be real enlightenment”.

And so the question you can ask yourself is when does there come the point where using these chemicals is actually holding back your spiritual growth because you are ready to move to a higher level?  And if you ask about the Estonian national consciousness – the more of the spiritual people who are using these drugs and become addicted to them the more it is holding back the growth of the collective consciousness.  Now I know very well and that is why I am using the word that many of the people who use Ayahuasca will say it is not addictive, we are not becoming addicted to the plant.  Well my beloved let’s not, let’s not play this word game, because if you are not addicted to the chemical you can still become addicted to the experience that it gives you. This is not a physical addiction in the sense of a heroin addict who has physical symptoms if it doesn’t get the drug.  But it can still be an emotional, even a mental even to some degree at the identity level an addiction where you need to have that experience or at least think you need it.

And so it is very true that there are many in Estonia and elsewhere who have been pulled into thinking that this their way to pursue spiritual growth and if they would give up the chemicals and find other ways, they could make much faster progress and therefore have a greater impact on their nation.

So it is certainly true in a small country like Estonia that there is only a certain percentage of people who have the spiritual development to raise the collective consciousness and if too many of them are addicted to the experience they get, then it is holding back the growth of the nation.  And the same can be said in many other nations but again you know in a small nation like Estonia a few people make a greater difference.

How to know if you are an avatar

Question: How does one find out if they are an avatar or original inhabitant of earth or something else?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

Have you read the new book? I’ll answer this one and by the new book I mean My lives with Lucifer Satan Hitler and Jesus. In some previous teachings, some Ascended Master teachings and other spiritual teachings, the word Avatar has been used.  I am not 100% sure but I think it might have been introduced with Blavatsky and the Theosophical teachings?

I don’t know if any of you know them better or know that?  And of course it was used in the movie Avatar where they used it, it was in computer gaming there was a certain concept of avatar but in many Ascended Master teachings it was seen as an avatar was a really highly evolved being that came to earth.  And there was some teachings that said for example that said that Jesus was an avatar and that’s why he was so special.

And so this is ironic as I was saying to someone earlier because the same Ascended Master teachings were saying that Jesus was not the only son of God and he had many other embodiments on earth and in some of those embodiments he didn’t necessarily always do the right thing.  And so there was a part of the teaching that trying to take Jesus down from the pedestal but there was another part of the teaching that still had that idolatrous view that he was so special when he came.  And that of course is counter productive so what this book (My Lives with Lucifer, Hitler and Jesus) does is, it actually tries to demystify and de-idolatrise all of these concepts including Jesus.  It tries to show that the concept of an avatar refers to a person who wasn’t one of the original inhabitants of the earth and is not a fallen being and it was a person who didn’t have to come here for karmic reasons.

I mean there can be some people, some lifestreams who embodied on other planets and made karma on those planets and when for example when those planets were raised to a higher level they couldn’t raise their consciousness so shifted to earth which has a lower state of consciousness.  But an avatar is somebody who didn’t embody for any of these reasons but made a choice to come here and in their minds they had that they were doing this basically as a kind of rescue mission to help to raise the earth to a higher level.

And so what is said in the new book is that basically most of the people who are very spiritual and are open to spiritual teachings including Ascended Master teachings but not only Ascended Master teachings, that they are avatars.  It’s a reasonable assumption that if you are a very spiritual person and have been for a long time and have been open, then you probably came here as an avatar.

And so it said in the book that Jesus was an avatar but there were many others, in other words there are millions of people, of avatars who have come to earth.  And so what the masters want us to do is, again they are trying to remove the gap that we so often create between ourselves and them where we put them up on a pedestal that is unattainable, what they have done.  And make us realise that many of us have come here for the reason of; to help awaken the earth and how we do this is to awaken ourselves.  And that is not to say that there are not some spiritual people that are the original inhabitants.

And how do you find out whether you are one or the other?  You can only know that from within intuitively.  But as a general assumption, I would say assume that you are an Avatar if you are open to these teachings unless you get a strong intuitive sense that you are something else.  And this book it’s a novel and it’s written in the first person, so in other words it says “I experienced this”, “I did that” and obviously my name is on the cover but it doesn’t mean it’s an autobiography.  I don’t see it that I experienced everything that’s described in the book, but I do feel I experienced some of it but I do feel that it’s a compendium of what many Avatars have experienced when they came here.

Because the book describes that there are planets where you don’t have war, violence and all those kind of manifestations and they are called “natural” planets.  And an avatar is one who has come from a natural planet and directly to a planet like earth.  So I said that there could be other beings who had embodied on other planets that were not natural planets.  So in other words if your planet was at a lower level than the natural level and you embodied there and the planet was raised then you might have shifted to earth because you couldn’t make the jump up, so there are some people like that.  That’s not an avatar.  They’ve come from other planets but they are not avatars.

An avatar is one who came from a natural planet without violence and warfare and murder and mayhem.  And the reason that’s important is that as the masters have now said in these dictations also and now also said in the book, you can’t make that leap from an actual planet to planet like earth without experiencing shock and trauma.  And so in order to actually number 1: fulfil the mission why we came here for and number 2: get out of here – we have to heal that.

We have to recognise that it’s there and then heal it.  Because otherwise we are caught in this pattern and that’s what’s also described in the book how the main character was exposed to the fallen beings and they did something very unpleasant and then he started reacting to the fallen beings and got into a reactionary cycle of fighting them and trying to – having the best of intentions, of preventing them from killing and inflicting suffering on human beings.  He’s thought the only way to stop them was to kill them.

But there are other reactionary patterns where we can have gotten into this where we are not directly fighting the fallen beings, but we think for example that we can’t challenge them or we should submit ourselves or we should stay out of the way and not say anything that makes them angry and there could be many other reactionary patterns.  And as long as we are in a reactionary pattern to the fallen beings we cannot ascend.  And because we came from that level we have to become conscious of that and resolve it and get beyond it.

Implementation of calls from Astrea’s invocation

Question: Question about the invocation to Astrea.  I have three statements here: 1. we have repeated certain patterns and we will not overcome them until we are willing to look at the national and individual psyche.  2. We must individually process our own and our nations’ past before we can move into the Golden Age.  3.  We must collectively process our own and our nations’ past before we can move into the Golden Age consciousness.  How can we do it practically?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

They are asking us to make these calls so that we send this into the collective consciousness and we give the Masters the authority to remove these blocks.  Because what needs to happens is that, in all of the countries that were under communism you need to have a certain debate about the past, where you debate – how did if affect our nation?  How did it affect basically the way we as a nation look at life and how did it affect people individually?  And so the primary goal of the invocation is simply to open the way so that people can be set free in the three higher realms, that they’ll decide ‘we need to talk about this’.  And we talked a little about it with some of the people in Estonia and for example in Estonia there hasn’t been much debate about it but there may be some beginning of it, there are some people are beginning to talk about this.   And so there isn’t that there is just one way to do this, because each nation is different.

But basically there are certain issues that you need to talk about before you can be free of them.  And then of course you could say that another goal of the rosary is to awaken the spiritual people or the creative people as is talked about, to come to that realisation that we need to individually look at our own psyche.  So that we can free ourselves from these remnants of the communist consciousness, because otherwise we can’t help our nation.

So that means as spiritual people we need to resolve this but for people who are not as spiritual they may just simply need to become more aware of this and realise that if they are some of the more open minded people in the society, if they can talk about this openly they can help the rest of society.  It’s basically again this, if you have as a nation a certain topic that created a lot of wounds in people, then you have a lot of emotional energy and this emotional energy gets locked in people’s emotional bodies.  And if you can talk about this openly you might be able to actually release a lot of that energy and then the masters can consume it especially when spiritual people make the calls for it.

So it’s really, what the masters want right now is, they want at least us or the spiritual people to realise that it’s almost like there is certain taboos in a country, certain things that you can’t talk about and that this needs to be broken up.  So that people can start even talking openly about this, and people can for example have the courage to write books about it.

I have noticed myself that, I think Germany obviously hasn’t completed its process of processing the whole Hitler sequence but they have done something and I noticed that, I think it was in 2004 they actually made a movie in Germany where they made fun of Hitler, and I haven’t seen the movie and I expect that it may be pretty superficial.  But just the fact that the Germans could make a movie that made fun of Hitler showed me that something had happened in the collective psyche, they had distanced themselves from it.

And that’s part of what a nation does when it talks openly about something they can distance themselves from it, it’s suddenly not as important and then it doesn’t have the same hold over people otherwise they keep carrying it with them.

And the other thing that I sense that needs to be talked about is, in all of the former Soviet Union and Warsaw pact countries the way they look at Russia and Russian people, and it doesn’t matter about what you think about the Russian people, I understand that there is some people that feel very wounded about what was done.  But the realisation is we won’t be free until we forgive them and that is of course the spiritual people who can understand that in the beginning but gradually it can filter down.

Question: Is it okay that we just concentrate on doing invocations and decrees?

Yes in the beginning you should simply make the calls for it but if you feel from within an urge to do this you should of course, do it according what you can in your , your country but it’s not something you should decide with your outer mind and force yourself to do.  That I think is sort of a general thing.  Because I’ve seen this in the past Ascended Master organisations, where they would, people force themselves to do it and this again – it’s what Master More would call “the Missionary Syndrome”, you see it in all spiritual and religious organisations, you have to go out and convert everybody to believe this.  And that’s not what it’s about, you shouldn’t feel forced to do anything, it has to come from within.

But it’s also a matter of holding the vision that those people in society who are in a position to do this that they suddenly will lock in, tune in to the idea from the masters like Jesus just said the Omega aspect is that they release certain ideas and it’s the most sensitive people.  But you can call for them to be cut free so they can see.  There might be a journalist or an author who suddenly decides to write a book about what happened to Poland during the communist era that nobody has dared to write before, but he has the background, the knowledge in his mind that he can basically tune in to what the masters want to bring out.

And so we don’t always have to be the ones who do it because there can be other people that are in a position to do that.  And I think many Ascended Master students have, including myself when I was younger felt a certain pressure that we should do this.  But when you do it with that feeling of pressure it never works out it always becomes artificial.  You are forcing yourself to do something that you are not really ready to do and other people feel you are trying to force them and it just ends up not working very well.

An Alpha and an Omega of Ascended Masters’ work

Question: What are the Ascended Masters comments around the ‘awakening’ that other gurus are teaching – for people that cannot accept Ascended Masters teachings?

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

My beloved our goal as Ascended Masters is to raise the consciousness of people on earth.  And we use many tools for this purpose.  Some of these people that we use are not aware that we exist.  They do not have the concept of “Ascended Masters” and some call us by other names and basically you could say that we work in two ways – an Alpha and an Omega.  The Alpha is represented by what we do when we are known as Ascended Masters and we have a messenger that we sponsor and we can speak directly through the messenger.  That is the Alpha aspect.

But the Omega aspect is, that we are releasing certain ideas and concepts and we are not choosing who we are using as a messenger or an open door for this, we are simply releasing these concepts and anyone who is sufficiently sensitive can tune into this and receive sometimes a very advanced teaching, other times just glimpses – single ideas.  And so the teachings of Advaita Vedanta are part of this Omega where certain people were able to tune in and in some cases receive a very sophisticated teaching and understanding and grasp of this and were very adept at  putting it into words.  So these teachings can be quite helpful for the people that resonate with them.

Again, we have never claimed or seen that there is only one teaching that should work with everybody because we know how many different people are on earth, how many different groups of lifestreams of many different backgrounds.  And therefore there is not one teaching and there never has been that will work for all people.  So we look to use various means, various words, various contexts and expressions for different groups of people.  And so there can be people who for various reasons do not need to acknowledge where their teachings are coming from, they do not need to acknowledge us as Ascended Masters.  And they are able to grasp this teaching and bring it down, some may present it as it’s their own, some may present it that they have received it from somewhere without specifying the source and it can be a perfectly valid teaching.

Now what you always want to do when you evaluate a teacher is of course look at what the teacher says about him or herself and the teaching and where the teaching is coming from.  It is always healthy for the teacher to recognise that the teaching comes from some higher source.  Because it avoids or makes it easier for the teacher to avoid the trap of pride, of feeling that he or she is so advanced because he has this teaching.

And so the other thing you want to look at is; how does the teacher relate to his or her students?  And does the teacher seek to create some kind of co-dependence between the students and himself or herself and those kinds of things.  But if the teacher is selfless, is not seeking – it’s not a matter of the teacher having a following but it’s a matter of it not being a co-dependent relationship then the teacher can be perfectly valid, can be doing a work that is perfectly in alignment with our overall plan for awakening humanity.

And so it is when it comes to the teachings on duality and non-duality, you could say that the Buddha talked about this 2500 years ago.  You could even say that I talked about it even though I didn’t use those words.  And so there are many teachings that have talked about these issues from various angles.

But the real difficulty here is that, we are actually seeking to help you awaken from a certain state of consciousness.  And this state of consciousness is very much tied to the linear mind and the linear mind, in the present state on earth – we can even say that the linear mind almost has a monopoly on using words.  In other words, people are programmed to use words in a linear way.  They are programmed from infancy, from when they first start hearing a spoken language and start understanding it but this programming goes back many lifetimes.

And so it is – there is a fundamental difficulty in using words to help you awaken to a state of consciousness that is beyond words and even beyond the linear mind.  Words do not necessarily have to be only used by the linear mind but words always have a certain linearity in the sense that they have to have a consistent meaning in order to allow communication between people.  Of course words are still very imprecise and so that gives room for interpretation and that gives room for the possibility that words could be used to confuse the linear mind.

But be aware of one thing here, there can be people who find a non-dualistic teaching but they don’t grasp the real goal of the non-dualistic teaching – which is to rise above the dualistic consciousness.  And so they actually attempt to use the dualistic consciousness to turn this non dualistic teaching into a traditional religious spiritual teaching.  And some of them then come up with the idea that this particular non-dualistic teacher is higher than all the others.  And this of course is a complete misunderstanding of the goal behind non-dualistic teachings.  Because if you even have in your mind the concept of setting up a scale and comparing these teachings, it shows that you have not understood what non duality is all about.

So that is why you cannot say that Advaita Vedanta is more advanced than Ascended Master teachings or that Ascended Master teachings are more advanced than Advaita Vedanta.  It is simply a matter of ‘can the teaching awaken you from the linear consciousness?  In other words ‘are you able to use the teaching to reach beyond the words, the other form, of the teaching or will you get attached to the form of the teaching and thereby miss the point of the teaching?

Why we cannot express ourselves with certain people

Question: In interaction in consciousness of two different people I notice sometimes that with certain people I can get some kind of blockage so to speak on how  I can access my Higher Self or my intuition and I see this less and less in my life the more I develop but I still experience it with certain people

(Kim) You mean you can’t access your Higher Self?

Question: Yeah like I just feel like things are just turned off and it’s not a problem because interact perfectly fine with the person but I still see it as a limitation in some sense so I wonder, how can I as a general approach identify what is actually happening and how can I deal with it?

(Kim) When you have people that, when you feel there is no connection with your Higher Self when you are with them?

Question: Yeah I find myself tuning down to their level or I just don’t access the part of me I usually access.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

Well one of the reasons my beloved, is that sometimes your Higher Self does not have anything to say to certain people because they’re simply not open for it and you need to realise this is a delicate issue.  It is very true that there are some people who may have a psychic, aggressive influence on you that for various reasons can cause you to shut down your connection to your Higher Self, to your I AM Presence.  And the fallen beings are often experts at doing this.  Some of them do it even subconsciously but you will even find that there are teachings out there for business leaders or even the Art of War by Sun Tzu about how to use psychic force to empower or overpower other people.  And some people have done this for lifetimes and have great momentum on it and they can cause you to really feel that you cannot access your Higher Self.

So what you can do in this case is – in many cases you will simply want to avoid these people, why interact with them if you don’t need to?  But if you need to interact with them you can attempt to work on yourself and see if you can uncover what exactly is it they make you feel that causes you think you that cannot express your Higher Self when these people are around?  Is there some kind of decision you can see that you made, some kind of belief you have – that you are not allowed to express it? That they don’t want it?  That they will be offended by it?  You don’t want to offend them?  You don’t want to challenge them?

Whatever it may be for you personally, if you can uncover this you may be able to overcome it relatively easily.  And so – but the other thing is that when you are talking about being an open door for your I AM Presence.

There are many human interactions where your I AM Presence will simply step back because you are perfectly capable of dealing with this with the outer mind and the I AM Presence may not have anything it wants to say.  Now what you can focus on is that with all people, you feel that you can be relaxed, you can be yourself, you can be at peace within, and you can freely express yourself.

And if you feel that there are certain people where you cannot freely express yourself, then again even if they are not fallen beings you can look at what do these people make me feel?  What do I believe about them or about myself that blocks my connection that prevents me from being at peace, feeling relaxed, feeling the flow?  Because again, your I AM Presence may not have anything to say but your I AM Presence is also very respectful of you, so if you and your outer mind have some belief of why you shouldn’t express yourself freely with these people, then it will step back.  This very often happens with family members or other people where you have a long history and you have built up a pattern with these people.  So you can look at it, if you have a certain pattern with certain people and then try to uncover what it is and overcome it.

Spiritual perspective on in vitro fertilisation

Question: Dear Jesus I would like to ask you about in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – please tell me what is happening during the procedure from the spiritual point of view?  With this method several embryos are artificially created and then some of those that are superfluous are killed.  What happens to those cells which those embryos are killed?  What else came into embodiment through that procedure?  Do they have a three-fold flame?  Is this procedure acceptable to men and women who are chelas of the path?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

My beloved there is a misunderstanding in the question about IVF or even gestation in general.  It is not so my beloved that for every egg that is produced in a woman’s body there is a soul assigned to that egg.  It is only after you have a viable fertilisation that a soul gets assigned.  Sometimes this may not even happen immediately upon fertilisation of the egg, it may happen later because there can be various reasons why a soul may wait to make a decision to take embodiment in that particular pregnancy.

So it doesn’t matter that there are several embryos created and that some of them are killed because at that point there is no soul assigned to them so it creates no scar or burden in the soul.  Now a soul that comes into embodiment as a result of IVF is no different from a soul that comes into embodiment as a result of a natural fertilisation – it just doesn’t matter because as I said the soul is only assigned after the pregnancy is viable.

So the IVF is simply a technology that is given to help the many women who for physical reasons cannot become pregnant.  It is therefore a technology that is simply a result of the technology that Saint Germain is releasing as part of the Golden Age.

You need to recognise here that the fallen beings have, at least some of them, have decided to limit the human population.  And they have taken various steps they can take to decrease the fertility, to lower the fertility of women in order to reduce the population, prevent children from being born.  And so there are women who for physical reasons, it could be certain foods they have eaten, it could be other things – cannot become pregnant the natural way and so this is just simply one way to avoid this and to allow children to be born.

This however does not apply to embryos who are raised in a test tube because what you have in a test tube, you have a completely artificial environment where no human being is involved.  So I will not say absolutely that you could never have a situation where children could be born in a completely artificial environment but at the present it is not something we sponsor because it is, for a variety of reasons important that there is an interaction between the energy field of the incoming child and the energy field of the mother.  So this is not the final word on so called ‘test tube’ babies but for now we make a clear distinction about IVF and a test tube.

Book of Revelation as a zen koan

Question: You once mentioned that the Revelation in the Bible actually is a teaching from the Ascended Masters and it says that it was teaching or a revelation from Jesus given to John.  But will we ever get an explanation?  How can we help people who believe in the Bible as God’s word and believe in the revelation? And you just mentioned there can never be a real war in heaven but the revelation is talking about a war in heaven and the devil and his demons have been cast down and so forth and so forth.  How can we get an explanation and help people who are believing in this? 

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017

When we give a teaching regardless of whether it is today or 5,000 or 10,000 years ago we always have to give a teaching that is adapted to the collective consciousness.  And so what you had 2000 years ago, you had a certain level of collective consciousness, you had certain concepts that could be used.  You saw this when I walked the earth, I used certain ideas and concepts that was what people could deal with at the time and then you always give them a little bit more so you push them.

And the Book of Revelation was an attempt to give people a teaching that was so difficult to interpret with the linear mind that they would be forced to go out of the linear mind to make any kind sense out of it.  So you can look at this as you can look at a zen koan it is an attempt to give a teaching that neutralises the analytical, linear mind and therefore the only way to make any kind of sense out of the Book of Revelation is to neutralise and reach beyond the linear, analytical mind.

But what you need to recognise here is that, at the moment you reach beyond the linear mind there is not just one true interpretation. It is only in the linear mind that you have the concept that there is only one truth or there is a highest truth and there is only one interpretation that is the real one and therefore all others must be wrong.

Once you go into the intuitive mind and you basically become a mystic, then you see that there are various interpretations that could be given that could all have some validity because they help people rise to a higher level of consciousness.

We have said many times that our goal is not to bring forth an absolute highest teaching on earth but to bring forth many teachings that are designed for specific groups of people and the teaching designed on, is based for what people know and how they look at life and then we aim to take them a few steps higher.  We don’t aim to take them in many cases to the ultimate understanding because they are not ready for that.

Even as Ascended Master students you could say that we are not really withholding anything from you.  It’s not like we are sitting here saying – there is a teaching here that they can’t handle, but, we are still limited by the general view of life that you have and so there are certain concepts that we cannot verbalise because you have no awareness of how to interpret those words.

This relates to many of the subtle issues like even what we have talked about with some of the issues of physics and how you co-create reality and how you interpret reality, for example ‘is there a real objective world and how is that objective world’ and so forth.

It’s difficult even for us to verbalise it not because we can’t verbalise it but we can’t do it with words that you can grasp right now and that is why we are waiting until the scientific language has become more developed before we can then use it.

And so again the Book of Revelation was given at a time when people had a certain awareness, a certain language and that is why it is said that there was a ‘war in heaven’ or at least what was said has been translated into ‘heaven’ in most languages.  But there are different ways to interpret what was originally said.  But again at the time, people only had the concept, there is the physical universe and then anything that’s higher than that is heaven and anything that’s lower was hell and that was all they could deal with at the time.

And so you now have a greater understanding that there are levels of the material universe, there are levels of the spiritual realm.  And therefore you understand that what was really referred to in the Book of Revelation was a previous unascended sphere, but how could we explain that to people at the time?  And so we could only give them a concept that they could grasp and that means it wasn’t really accurate in the linear sense but then again as I said, the Book of Revelation was never meant to be interpreted with the linear mind.  And that is why you will see that there are many of the more linear Christians out there who either ignore it or come up with some interpretation that’s actually really illogical and artificial where if you look more closely at their interpretation it’s full of contradictions, it’s full of unexplained questions.

And how you can you help these people?  Many of them – I can only say, if you can help them, you can do something I cannot do, but many of them you might be able to help by pointing out the unexplained questions or the contradictions in their interpretations and explaining to them that there are many, many things that I said that were not meant to be interpreted with the linear mind.   And you can give them examples as I have given in various teachings where some clearly cannot be understood with the linear mind.

How many participants of Mother Mary’s 500 vigil

Question: How many people are actually giving Mother Mary’s monthly vigil and what has it accomplished? What changes have taken place?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

Kim: I don’t know (the number). Mother Mary has given some dictations (recently) that there has been certainly changes. My sense is that we haven’t yet reached the 500. It shouldn’t be a numbers game as such.

There is no positive side of shame

Question: Question about what is the function of shame.  Shame of being spiritual among non spiritual people. How can you use the realization of shame for something positive?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

I don’t think you can use it for something positive because you just need to transcend it. Shame is just one of the weapons used by the fallen beings. The masters talk about it in their dictations about how what they really want to accomplish is to make us feel we were wrong for coming here. And shame is a part of that. Also shame relates to how you feel about yourself, that there is something flawed or wrong about you. And so that’s why they want to keep us in that state of shame so we can’t get out of it and accept who we really are.

The whole concept of original sin was designed to make people feel ashamed for just being alive, for just being humans. So you can have different levels of shame. Many Christians for example, feel that there is a certain shame related to their sexuality.  And so you should feel you might have sex, it’s hard to avoid but you should at least feel ashamed about it, then it’s not as bad.

But there’s a deeper more existential shame that comes with this original sin idea, and that is that you should feel ashamed just for being human even though you didn’t create yourself a sinner. God supposedly created you, but you should still feel ashamed about it. It’s completely illogical so it really only has the function of holding us back on the path.

And when we realize it’s one of the primary weapons of the fallen beings we can begin to do something about it but of course we need to recognize that at some point in the past we created a separate self that its function is like a computer program, its function is to make us feel ashamed especially for doing certain things but also another self just for being here, for being who we are.

So I don’t see how you can turn it into a positive unless you become aware that it’s not the right feeling and then you develop that determination and that say, I’m going to get over this. I don’t want to be trapped in this anymore and I’m going to do whatever it takes to get over this.

Why Jesus stayed on earth after his ascension

Question: Can Jesus comment on what were the earthly desires, why he took this light body and lived later, he mentioned that he had earthly desires and that’s why he took on this light body and lived up to age 81.

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

Kim: Yes well I think he has commented something on it before somewhere that it was partly related to the physical body, partly because he had a desire to live a more normal life with Mary Magdalene who was his twin flame and that he had had  – many lifetimes where he could not really be together with her and so he had that desire. But he also had a desire to create a mystery school so that those who were ready for it could receive the same initiations that helped him and that he had gone through.

Question: So he ran the mystery school?

Kim: Yes, that is what is described in the new book and I sense that’s at least the knowledge that they want out right now of what he did.  There may be other things he did but that’s all they have for now to give us.

Maitreya’s sphere of oneness

Question: Question about Maitreya’s sphere of oneness and what it means. Something was said about it quite a number of years ago and nothing has been said since.

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

Kim: My sense is that it is a concept the masters gave us and I understand it as being more of a spiritual concept that it’s more in our awareness, in our consciousness that we form this sphere of oneness which is both a sphere of oneness among ourselves but also oneness with the masters, so it’s vertical and horizontal. It’s not that it needs to be an official organization.

So far they haven’t encouraged me to start any official organization. But again people can use the concept to use the concept as they want. If you want to create a community based on it you can certainly do that. But I just don’t sense that the masters at this point have any further teachings they want to give on it. Of course that could change tomorrow, but in my awareness there isn’t anything. I don’t either sense that they want to say anything now about it.

Question about balancing karma

Question: My question is about karma, balancing 51%. What type of karma is the 51 and what is the 49% and what is the difference?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

What the masters have explained is that this is what came in a previous dispensation and I think this is part of what Serapis Bey was saying they gave them a more simplified view of the ascension. Because even when I heard that teaching, I realized this couldn’t be all there was to the ascension because it’s not just a matter of balancing karma to ascend. You didn’t come to earth to make karma, balance karma and then get out of here. You came here for your divine plan or for some kind of purpose. I didn’t understand then what we know now about avatars. But I just sensed that there was more to it.

The teaching that was given back then was focused on one of the primary requirements for the ascension is to balance karma. There was a point where you had to balance 100% of your karma. Then the dispensation was given that you could ascend with 51% balanced. And what the masters have explained through me is that the 51% you have to balance is the karma you have with other people.  And the 49% is karma that you have with yourself and that’s why you can balance it without being in physical embodiment because it’s primarily how you look at yourself, how you have put yourself down. You could also say it’s resolving your internal spirits or selves. And so this can be done, (although) it’s still probably easier to do it in embodiment.

Fallen beings in and out of embodiment

Question: What is the percentage of fallen beings in embodiment on earth?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

My sense of it is that it’s less than 1%. It’s not a high number in percentage but we’re still talking about quite a number of fallen beings. It’s just that all of them are not as openly evil as Satan, Lucifer, Hitler and so on. And many of them actually don’t appear to be evil because they’re not directly killing or violating or torturing people but they have supposedly good intentions of bringing some kind of change. It’s just that their vision of this change is flawed to begin with and it often involves some kind of force.

So you could argue that there are examples of leaders who have seemingly been benevolent and wanting to do the right thing for their citizens but they can still be fallen beings because they are using some kind of force, even if it isn’t physical force they are using mental force with some kind of ideology. So the Christian church is an example of this. But today we have scientific materialism which is really created and promoted by the fallen beings but of course they don’t use violence to do it but they use other means.

Question: Are there more fallen beings out of embodiment than in embodiment?

Kim: Yes there are. My sense is that it’s a lot more. They are more in the emotional realm than in physical embodiment because there are a lot of lower beings that are trapped in what you call the levels of hell or the astral plane. There aren’t as many in the mental realm I sense as in physical embodiment and there are even fewer in the identity realm. But in the emotional realm there are quite a few.

Question: Do they have a leader like the ultimate evil being?

Kim: Well they don’t have just one leader because often they have rivalry between them. The ascended masters are united but the fallen beings can never be fully united. They can have some alliances and work together somehow but whatever you want to call it, the higher they go in their own self-created status, the more jealous they are of each other and the more they want to be the one that’s the ultimate one. But if you read the new book, there’s talk about there’s one called the “dark master” in the identity realm who has had a very big impact on earth and he’s the one behind the whole idea that’s promoting an idea such as an ideology or a religion justifies killing human beings. So he’s the primary fallen being behind that and he is actually meant to be taken. And he was meant to be taken in the 1900’s but because not enough people had responded to Jesus’ real teachings about the path to Christhood he couldn’t be taken yet.

It was actually explained in the book that when Jesus ascended he was bound. It is also talked about in Revelations in veiled language. He was bound and then to give earth a chance to grow in the Piscean age without being burdened by his presence. But he had to be let loose again so they could choose whether to follow him or not. And because not enough people understood the path to Christhood, it led to the first world war, the second world war, the cold war and other wars.

Question: Was he called Satan?

Kim: No. He is kind of a lower being actually. Now you have to understand that the word Satan and the word Lucifer, they have been used in different ways by different spiritual teachings throughout time. So it’s a little bit difficult to say exactly who this is. But what the new book does is it sort of demystifies everything and portrays them as just two fallen beings, Lucifer and Satan. They were just two fallen beings. They were not really that special even though they had certain powers but it was not that they were the ultimate because the book also explains that the whole idea that there is one devil that is the opposite of God is an illusion. There is a certain remote god in the sky, but that is actually a creation by the fallen beings and that god can have an opposite but not it is not just one fallen being that is the opposite it is sort of a conglomerate of them.

Authority based on past lives

Question: Question about a man who claimed to be the reincarnated spirit of a young man who was raised from the dead by Jesus and had a spiritual movement in Estonia until 1995 when he died.

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

My beloved, we generally do not wish to comment on specific people, specific teachers, their past embodiments and so on. And this has again to do with the equation of free will. But what I will say is about past lifetimes and you can find many people who claim that they have had revealed to them all of their past lives or some of their past lives. But here’s where you have to be a little bit more discerning, a little bit more sophisticated.

You can see a certain tendency that there are some people that want to set themselves up as some kind of spiritual teacher or some kind of psychic medium or whatever you have. And they will then claim that they have a certain authority because they have had this or that past embodiment. And they might be firmly convinced about this but it may not always be the case.

In some cases people can of course get to know their past lives and they know and it is a correct knowledge they have. But in general, people who make a public statement about it usually have some kind of impure motivation and therefore they may not in many cases be able to see this exactly and accurately. And so the real issue here is that you need to ask yourself, do I really need to know my past lives? Because what is the purpose? And this ties in with the teaching we have given about these selves you have created in response to your birth trauma where you actually can create a separate self that desires to have some special authority on earth so that people will listen to you.

And so as just one way of seeking this authority you can have a desire to have been a famous person in a past life and you might even feel that this has been revealed to you through some kind of spiritual process or by a spiritual master. But it may not be the case especially if you have that kind of intention. You can of course also go to mental institutions and find two people who both think they were Napoleon in a past life. And so from an Aristotelian viewpoint you would say that they couldn’t both be right.

You could also say that maybe none of them are right. Or maybe you can take a different view. We have hinted at before that there are many people in the past who have become known people in history who formed what we might call a certain archetype — a certain archetype for how people with a certain psychology will act in practical situations. And so we actually have examples of people who in various ways have come to the understanding that I was this person in a past life.

And it is not that they actually were that person. But it is that in order to resolve something in their psychology they need to believe that they were that person because this gives them an impetus to actually or at least it gives them the opportunity to look more closely at the psychology of that person, see what they still have in their own psychology in this lifetime and then work on it.

And so what I would say in these cases is that the impression people have gotten is constructive even if it isn’t in a strict sense correct that they were embodied as that person. You can look for example, if you look at history and you can see that there has only been a limited number of people who are important or known people in history and there are of course many more people in embodiment so you couldn’t all have had many famous embodiments and it is likely that many of you have had no famous embodiments.

And so really where we want our students to get to is that you recognize of course you have had past lives because this is important for you to know so that you can realise that your psychology is very complex and you could have traumas that are very deep and therefore need some special work to overcome. But other than that you are not really worried about who you were and who you were not. I realize there are some ascended master students that feel that ascended masters have revealed to them their previous lifetimes, but in many cases this simply was not from the ascended realm.

These people had such a strong desire to know some embodiments that they had an experience that was not genuine and they are convinced about it. And so again, does it really matter who you were? I can assure you that if you really need to know, then you will find a way to know but this will very rarely happen to people to have some desire whatever the desire may be to have been a specific person or even to have an important person in a past life. I would say that as a spiritual teacher the highest level of a spiritual teacher will not claim any authority based on whether it is past lives, or this or that but will be willing to simply let the teaching stand on its own. And so generally speaking those teachers who claim some kind of authority some kind of specialness compared to others are teachers where you might be a little bit careful and examine their intentions very closely.

Eastern Europe and Great Britain

Question: Question about goods made in Eastern Europe being of lower quality than in Western Europe and that in Great Britain there are people in government who are very much against the people Eastern Europe.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

This is just one example among many of how the fallen beings behave. They’re always against progress, against change. They’re always looking to put some people down. You have in certain nations, that you can see historically have had a desire to be the dominant nation in the world. You have a certain percentage of fallen beings that have embodied there and they have their need for superiority and so they look down upon other groups of people for various reasons.

Naturally during the Communist era there were certain people in the west that looked down upon people in Eastern Europe because they were under the Communist yoke. And these people considered them to be lower and this and that. And as you can find people today who look down people in other parts of the world or even in their own part of the world.

Any time you have someone who degrades another group of people you know ultimately there are fallen beings behind it or at least beings trapped in the fallen consciousness. What we teach is of course that there is no outer group of people that you can identify as being superior to any other. And that the only real measure you can take is the level of awareness of the soul or the being and that there are advanced, more evolved beings in every culture in every nation.

And of course you could say that there are some nations that have a greater number of more evolved beings simply because they have a bigger opportunity to express themselves in a free, more affluent nation. But you still find them everywhere and that is why we always discourage these kinds of discriminatory viewpoints.

Ultimately, it all comes from the fallen beings because they are the ones who have this desire to elevate themselves by putting others down. In terms of the goods that are sold of inferior quality, well this is of course not something we approve of at all. But it is again where the people of Eastern Europe need to become more aware, stand up for themselves and demand a better quality. Just as you have to stand up for yourself in many other ways and demand a better form of government, a better form of bureaucracy, better form of education and so on.

What can happen if the original inhabitants of earth are left alone on the planet?

Question: Question about original inhabitants of earth and the conditions they had before falling into duality. If we have a golden age and fallen beings are gone and avatars are gone, what happens then? Can earth and original inhabitants go into a downward spiral again?

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Estonia in 2017.

So let us imagine that we have a state where the fallen beings have been removed from the earth, what will then happen? Well, it doesn’t necessarily mean that if the fallen beings are removed, all avatars also have to go. Once you have taken embodiment on a planet like earth, you have a right to stay there if you choose to do so. And so you could have a scenario where a number of avatars would choose to stay in embodiment in order to help the original inhabitants.

However, you also need to recognize that before the fallen beings can be removed from the earth, the original inhabitants have to have transcended the state of consciousness they had when the fallen beings were allowed to come here. And so that means that when the fallen beings are removed, the original inhabitants will be in a higher state and therefore it is less likely that they could go back into a downward spiral.

But of course again, free will is free will and it must be allowed to outplay itself so you can certainly have a planet and earth is actually one of these planets where you can have a certain period where the inhabitants whether you call it a root race or wave of lifestreams have reached a certain level where a number of them can ascend. But then those who are left do not have a high enough level of consciousness to maintain the upward spiral and then they go into a downward spiral.

Then you can have a point where for various reasons whether the fallen beings come here or not, the original inhabitants turn around the downward spiral and begin climbing again to a point where again another wave can ascend and then those who are left can again start again start going down.

So you have on many planets including earth, you have this up and down motion. And it is somewhat of a dilemma for the ascended masters because there are many examples where you have had a positive spiral and you have a high level of civilization on the planet and this has been driven by a small number of people who are now ready to ascend. But if they all do ascend then those who are left cannot maintain the upward spiral and so go down.

And so the question is how we deal with this and there are various scenarios, sometimes avatars will take embodiment even if there are no fallen beings. Other times we will just allow the planet to go up and down because every time it goes up, some lifestreams make their ascension and then they can work with those who are left from the ascended level and then seek to prevent the downward spiral. But even if there is this up and down movement it could still mean that a planet serves its purpose as a platform for the ascension of lifestreams.
