Can we reach God consciousness?

Question: The masters have said we can keep growing in consciousness until we reach the same level of consciousness as the Creator. But since the Creator is always transcending itself, what does that mean?

Answer by Kim Michaels, July 17, 2015 at a conference in Los Angeles.

Kim: There are 144 states of consciousness here on earth, but there’s a certain level of consciousness you reach – that’s the 144th level – where you can ascend, and you don’t have to come back to earth. But that, of course, doesn’t mean you stop growing beyond that. So in the same way, you can grow up in the ascended state until you reach a certain level, the lowest level of the Creator consciousness.

You are now able to create a world that is self-sustainable. Of course, from there you will transcend yourself by creating that world and experiencing how extensions of yourself experience creation from the inside. So that’s how you grow once you reach the Creator consciousness. But you have to get to that level before you can actually create a world because it takes an incredible level of consciousness to create such a complex world that it can actually sustain itself without disintegrating.

How Shiva cuts you free from negative energy

Question: What it the role of Shiva and it is true that he can cut us free from negative energy?

Answer by Kim Michaels, July 17, 2015 at a conference in Los Angeles.

Kim: So Shiva is an ascended master. Traditionally the name Shiva comes from Hindu mythology, where you have the three aspects of God: Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Sustainer, and Shiva, not really the Destroyer but the one who breaks down that which is stagnant. So Shiva is a very powerful master to call on for any kind of problem, any kind of limitation, if you feel negative energy. I quite frankly often use it at the end of the day before I go to sleep to just clear my energy field. I have an exercise I do. There’s a teaching that’s been around for a long time that stainless steel cuts through entities in the astral plane. They don’t like it. It hurts them. So if you cut around your body with a stainless steel knife, it can cut you free from them.

So what I do is I take a knife – and, of course, the curtains are down [laughter] – and then I just have a routine where I trained myself to go “Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva.” I know this is 9 times, so I don’t have to count it. Sometimes what I’ll do if I feel something in a chakra – like, for example, the solar plexus chakra – I’ll just take the knife and gently go [shows how to use the knife], and then I won’t count how many times I do the 9. I just do it in bursts of 9 until I feel the energies are clear. Sometimes I’ll clear all the chakras that way and do the body.

But there are other times I’ll do 144 Shivas, and that’s very easy to do if you imagine yourself standing in a circle that is a clock, and there are 12 lines of the clock. So you go “Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva” at the 12. Then you go to the 1, do that 9 times, and go around the clock. When you’ve done it 12 times, that’s 108. Then you visualize doing it four more times, one for each of the four lower bodies.

That’s 36 plus 108 and it adds up to 144. You don’t have to count because you know you have done 144. And 144 is a powerful number. There are certain numbers like 33 and 9 and 144 where there is an extra multiplication when you give a mantra that number of times. It only takes about five minutes, and it’s amazing the events that can happen.

How ascended master conferences are arranged

Question: Are you going to have a U.S. conference every year from now on? Because the last one was eight years ago.

Answer by Kim Michaels, July 17, 2015 at a conference in Los Angeles.

Well, I don’t know. It’s again a matter of somebody arranging it because I don’t have an organization. I don’t have people on staff who can organize a conference far away. So I am really dependent on people who will say: “Okay, I will take this task on. I will organize this.”

That’s just the way it works right now, and I think that’s what the masters want also. I have never seen myself as running an organization. I don’t see myself as a leader who tells other people what to do. I see myself more as a writer, as a messenger to bring forth teachings, and then it’s up to people what they want to do with them. It’s not that the masters don’t want some kind of group or organization, but it’s not going to come from above. It’s going to come through the spirit of those who are moved to do that. That’s the only way it’s going to happen. That’s what I know.

I have sensed in the last year that the ascended masters would like there to be more of an initiative. But they are not going to tell people through me what to do, and I am not going to organize it. It’s going to have to come spontaneously from within. Some people feel inspired from within to do this. For example, when I did the last conference in Russia, in Novosibirsk, there was a group over there, a spiritual group, and they had been doing a lot of things, using my teachings and other teachings. But there was one person who got the inspiration to have a conference, and she presented it to the group, and they all agreed. That’s what I think is beautiful, when it comes through the people who are open to it.

How to experience an ascended master conference

Question: Well, this may be a dumb question.

Kim: There are no dumb questions.

Question: Talking about a dictation, how can you differentiate your speaking from the master speaking? Or if there are several different masters, how can you introduce them to us?

Answer by Kim Michaels, July 17, 2015 at a conference in Los Angeles.

Well, the master will always tell you when a dictation is going to take place, and the masters always starts out introducing themselves by giving their names, so that you know who is speaking.

Question: Second question is what can be my attitude to get a good experience?

Well, I would say that it depends a little bit on your background and how much you know. What was it the Buddha said? Something like don’t accept everything, but don’t reject things without examining them. And I think that’s a good attitude, that you are willing to experience it. What I have noticed in myself is that the more I can get my analytical mind out of the way, the more profound an experience I have in the heart.

The ascended masters give a lot of teachings that are very much intellectual and help you understand things better. But in order to really connect with them that’s not the head, that’s the heart. So I would try to just set aside expectations or ideas about what a spiritual conference is or isn’t, or what it should be, and just experience it. Experience it with the heart, and then see what you get that way.

You can always study the dictations later with the more mental to see what they are saying, what the meaning is, what you can learn from them. But there’s no greater opportunity than when you are here in person to have that inner experience, and that is definitely a heart experience.

What to eat at a spiritual conference

Question: I was just thinking about foods like sugar and chocolate. What are we expected to eat and drink during this conference to be an open door?

Answer by Kim Michaels, July 17, 2015 at a conference in Los Angeles.

Kim: Well, the masters through me have talked very little about diet. That doesn’t mean they are not necessarily concerned about it, but what I personally do is try to eat a balanced diet. By that I mean I avoid the extremes, like very heavy meats or very sweet things, because it takes your body on this kind of yoyo.

I’ve also realized that diet is such an individual thing. People have different body types, and you can’t really make a general determination. This is all individual to you, but avoid something that’s too heavy. But don’t eat only something that is too light and too green – all raw foods, for example. I don’t think it’s good during a conference because you want to be somewhat grounded.

Personally I feel that if I eat too light food, then I don’t have the same connection to the physical realm, and I feel that then the masters can’t quite anchor as much light in the physical. I think the same will be true for most of you. So I wouldn’t go get a big T-bone steak, I wouldn’t go get a huge ice cream or other sweets, but try to eat something that is more balanced.

I am sort of an anomaly when it comes to diet. Ever since I was a child, people have always made fun of what I eat and how I eat. So I don’t know if I eat something that’s so different, but that’s just the way it is. I always try to feel what my body wants or doesn’t want, and I have deliberately tried not to force some kind of fancy idea upon my body of how it should function. I probably sometimes go too far just out of laziness. So avoid the extremes, I would say. Of course, no alcohol and that kind of thing.

Question: Do you drink wine?

Kim: No, no alcohol whatsoever. No alcohol, no drugs, no coffee. I don’t smoke, of course.

I eat very little sugar. I’m not fanatical about it because there are just so many things you can’t get that don’t have some sugar in them.

I am not trying to moralize about it. I have just always felt that I never wanted to lose control of my state of mind because I feel that is my primary responsibility in life—my state of mind. So I feel that you open yourself up to all kinds of things, not necessarily by drinking wine with a meal – because I know that is a tradition in many countries – but certainly if you get drunk and lose control, you never know what’s going to come in. So I would definitely recommend that you didn’t do that during a conference.

Question: Don’t go out and get drunk afterwards.

Kim: Well, no, that’s up to you to decide, but definitely I would say after a conference like this it’s important to maintain a certain balance and harmony because you will carry the light with you longer.

I have to tell you this story. I once heard a lady who had been to one of these ascended master conferences that lasted a week, and she had traveled far to get there. She had given hours of decrees and eaten a special diet and all this, and somebody asked her, “So what do you think is great about these conferences?” And she said, “Well, sex is always great right after a conference.” [Laughter]

It just blew me away that somebody could want to put themselves through all of that trouble to get the light and then spend it that way afterwards.

Question: What about honey?

Kim: Well, it’s obviously not as sweet as sugar, but it is pretty sweet, so I don’t eat a lot of it myself.

Why can’t the masters say anything they want through a messenger?

Question: When we come to the questions and answers, can I ask questions about Romania, even if it’s not America?

Answer by Kim Michaels, July 17, 2015 at a conference in Los Angeles.

You can, yes. I want to say that when it comes to these questions and answers with the masters, my ability to take an answer is sometimes limited by my knowledge. I don’t know every country in the world, and I don’t know every situation. The way it works with the questions and answers is this: For me to even tune in to the answer, I have to have a little bit of outer awareness, and then the masters can multiply that. But if I have no knowledge of the topic, I sometimes just can’t receive the answer. It’s not that the masters don’t want to give an answer. I have limited knowledge about Romania, but we’ll see what happens.

Question: So in conjunction with what you just said – if you don’t have the knowledge, the masters can’t give the answer – why is that? How come they can’t say something through you that you don’t know about?

Well, they can, but it’s just that I don’t go into a trance when I take a dictation. I am fully conscious, so what the masters are doing is sending a stream of consciousness that goes into my four lower bodies. It is not that I get words that I see or read and then repeat. The translation into words happens in my mind. So it is affected by how I use language, the concepts I have in my mind. If the masters wanted to talk about astrophysics – which, of course, the masters know a lot about, but I don’t – I just don’t have the concepts. It’s almost like it’s a different language. So I have to have a little bit of structure just to get tuned in and get started, and then the masters can say something beyond what I know. But if there is nothing, I just can’t get started. It’s possible there could be a way beyond it, but then I’m not highly evolved or trained enough to do that.

Member of audience: I want to say that Elizabeth Clare Prophet once told me she wished that she knew more about quantum physics and science, and perhaps some day there would be a messenger who did. Again with what you are saying, in the limited awareness that she had, that was not something that was going to come through her. She needed to be able to anchor at least some of the knowledge of that, in order to be able to bring it through without her mind interfering and blocking the information.

Kim: Yes, I think either the being dictating takes over the mind of the messenger and can speak from whatever level of consciousness it has without the messenger’s awareness, or you have to work with the mind of the messenger. In my experience and knowledge the ascended masters do not trance-channel. There are other beings in the lower identity, the mental, the emotional, the astral plane, that do that because they are glad to take over people’s minds, but the ascended masters have total respect for free will. I don’t influence what is being said, but I could stop at any time. There are some channelers that go into a trance and whatever being is channeling drinks red wine during the sessions. If a master wanted to do that through me, I would say, “No, thank you. I don’t think you are an ascended master because you wouldn’t have that need.”

I feel it is important that you have that respect for free will. But also I don’t think that one messenger is meant to take dictations about every topic, and I don’t think that all of the knowledge that the masters want to bring through comes in a dictation through one messenger. Because the beauty of the Aquarian Age, I think, is that there isn’t going to be one person who is the top spiritual leader. That was something we saw in Pisces, how Jesus was turned into the only Son of God, the only one who could do what he did.

This, of course, as those of you who have studied the website know, is not what Jesus wanted. It’s a total perversion because he wanted a movement where the Holy Spirit could work through many people. For example, some people might be bringing forth some knowledge of healing that is coming from the masters, but they don’t need to stand and take a dictation. There are many people in the field of science who would laugh and ridicule the idea of ascended masters, but Einstein was a channeler and also many other scientists and many other authors.

The masters don’t want one person because that would only lead to some kind of idolatry. It would actually work against what they want in Aquarius where they want as many people as possible to be open to receiving something from them. I am very conscious of that. You can say that perhaps it’s my ego that’s making an excuse for why I don’t have superhuman abilities [laughter], but I actually feel that the masters don’t want that in me – or anybody else, really – because what does it do? It creates an artificial distance.

My first contact with ascended master teachings was in an organization where the masters were looked at in a slightly different way. They were more up there, very remote, and I think that was perfectly fine for the Piscean Age and as a transition into Aquarius. But in the Aquarian Age I sense more and more that the masters don’t want you to look at them as if they are so far above you that you can’t reach them. Or that you can only reach them through me or any other specially trained person. Because when you think about what happened, again look at what Jesus tried to do. He tried to create a movement where many people were the open doors for the Holy Spirit. What happened was that the power elite went and took that movement, took it over, and made it so that people believed that they could only reach God or Spirit through the priests of the organized religion.

That is what we don’t want to replicate in Aquarius. The only way to do that is that many people are open to varying degrees, and I personally see no competition between me and anybody else who has any kind of abilities or can receive messages or anything like that. I am just focused on bringing forth what the masters want to bring forth through me. I don’t want to be a judge or a clearinghouse for whether this is right or that is true or this is a false teaching. I just don’t want to do that anymore, and I don’t feel that is what the masters want me to do now.

They did that in the early years – they would comment on various other spiritual teachings – but they haven’t done it in later years. I feel it’s liberating for me that I don’t have to evaluate others. I just have to focus on what’s my task. I think for all of you it’s the same thing. There is no greater joy for me than to see you unfold your Christhood and bring forth whatever is your gift. If I can somehow be instrumental in giving you whatever can help you with that, I am just grateful, and I think that is wonderful because we should have a community where people can express their gifts freely.

The election of a female president

Question: Not that I want to look at one person − sometimes people look for a savior, for one President that can come along and fix everything. But are there any calls that can be done relative to Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, who seem right now to be the people who are most outside the power elite structure and who are interested for now in leadership?

Answer by Ascended Master Saint Germain, July 18, 2015 through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during a conference in Los Angeles. It was given after a dictation by Saint Germain.

Again you need to make some discernment here. We are desiring to see change in America. We are desiring to see a break-up of the old mindset. We were very much in approval of the election of an African American President. This does not mean that we approve of everything done by President Obama in his eight years in office. This does not mean that I fully sponsor him and support him, but it does mean that the election of an African American President was an important step for America to break up the mindset of intolerance.

It is clear that what we would like to see next is the election of a female president. It would be nice to have an African American woman, but this is not realistic. Therefore, we will settle for not quite any woman, but certainly a realistic candidate. You all know who is the most realistic candidate, for the simple reason that things are the way they are and there is only one political party that is likely to nominate a woman. Therefore, we need to work with what we can work with.

Now again – I have said this before – the American system of government is set up directly to limit the powers of the President so that he cannot become King George, who does whatever he wants with America. Therefore, the President is not nearly as important as most Americans think. It is a collective illusion that the President has the power to save the country. It is built into the Constitution that he does not have the power to save or destroy the country single-handedly. And so, who is elected President is not so critically important as many Americans want to make it seem to be.

It is more important that certain overall shifts in consciousness happen, and whether the next President is a female or not, if a female enters the race as a major candidate, it will still help to bring out intolerance, to shift the consciousness.

There are certainly other candidates that have certain other qualities I am looking for, but you also have to look at the system the way it is right now and realize that, despite the good intentions of spiritual people, there are just certain things that are not practically possible, given the state of consciousness of the people. Again, do not be so hung up on the specifics, but look at the overall trends.

Saint Germains’ deepest concern for America

Question: What is St. Germain’s deepest concern for the United States?

Answer by Ascended Master Saint Germain, July 18, 2015 through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during a conference in Los Angeles. It was given after a dictation by Saint Germain.

My beloved, how long do you have? Again, words are words, and they sometimes come out in a certain way. It is not that I have one deepest concern. I have several concerns, some of which I have brought to your attention during my dictation, some of which I have brought to your attention during previous dictations.

The transition into a new form of democracy is very near the top of my list. The transition into a new form of the economy is also very important. The exposure of the power elite, so that the people will see what is going on − but instead of going into fear will go into determination − is also very high on my list. A shift in spiritual awareness is also extremely important because we are, of course, not seeking to promote earthly solutions, but spiritual solutions.

It is not that we are attempting to put out the image that there are worldly solutions to these problems. On the contrary, the whole point of the second law of thermodynamics is that when things go into that self-deteriorating spiral, it is to awaken people to the fact that you cannot uncreate the problems you have created from the human consciousness unless you transcend the human consciousness.

As Jesus said, with men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. You cannot uncreate these problems by using the human consciousness. There are no human solutions to these problems. The only solution is that a critical mass of people wake up and co-create a new reality along with the ascended masters.

As America goes, so goes the world

Question: Essentially, you have discussed domestic American problems. Many of us are from Canada and other countries, and I’m wondering in what context can we relate to these issues because they don’t directly impact us?

Answer by Ascended Master Saint Germain, July 18, 2015 through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during a conference in Los Angeles. It was given after a dictation by Saint Germain.

They may not directly relate to you now, but if America goes further into the downward spiral, they will relate to you. There are different scenarios that could come into play, but certainly if there is a more widespread downward spiral, even some form of anarchy in America, it can easily spill over the border, both North and South. You already see how volatile the situation is in Mexico, and this could also affect Canada.

On a much grander scale, if America goes into a spiral of internal violence, it will affect the entire world because it will affect the entire world economy. There is also the potential that you always have when there is internal conflict in a country: Those who are leading the country will invent an outer enemy so that they can now take those angry people at home and send them out to kill someone else far away. It is important for all people to make calls on this because as America goes, so will the world, to some degree, go.

This is just not only a product of the fact that America is a large nation and the world’s largest economy, it is also, unfortunately, an effect of the fact that I sponsor America. If the light is misused, then it can be misused to affect the entire world, and so it is important to hold the vision and make the calls on this.

Now again I understand your concern, my beloved, but I do not fully share it. It is not that the problems you are pointing out are not valid and important, but again they are not consequential. The scenarios you point out are possible, but they are not my greatest concern. So pick your battles wisely. Listen to what I say in the lines and between the lines.

The conflict between black and white, the Civil War, Anarchy

Question: There are a lot of African American men who are being killed in various ways, primarily by police. Then we have the church incident, and it’s happening all over the country. Because many of us work in the prison and jail system, we’re hearing a rumbling of “We’re gonna shoot back now.” And if African American men and gangs and other kinds of organizations begin to shoot back, it can beanarchy in this country. It can be really, really bad. I want to know what can be done from a spiritual level. As you said, sometimes a specific issue is not the issue to deal with, but this one is so critical because young people now are even saying, “If there’s another riot, we’re not gonna burn down the community. We’re gonna shoot people like we’re being shot.” Most people don’t realize that because they’re isolated from it, but I hear it every day. I’ve never heard anything like that in the 35 years I’ve been working in the jail system, and so I’m asking what can we do as a spiritual community to help?

Answer by Ascended Master Saint Germain, July 18, 2015 through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during a conference in Los Angeles. It was given after a dictation by Saint Germain.

There are, of course, many things that need to be done at many different levels on this issue and many other issues. This conflict you are pointing out is not the only one. You have the same with gangs, you have the same with the drug war, you have the same in other areas. You have conflicts with Hispanics and others. But this boils down basically to intolerance. There is intolerance against black men, but there is also intolerance in the black community where they are becoming intolerant towards whites. What they are essentially doing to whites is what has been done to them.

This is not the way to transcend the conflict. You, who are the spiritual people, can make the calls on this intolerance, you can hold the vision, you can speak out where possible and make them realize that this is not the way to stop conflict. It is only the way to escalate conflict.

You can, of course, also make the calls for the stopping of these spirals of anarchy that are brewing in the country. It is clear that what you see – not only with what you are talking about, but even the random shootings around America – is a growing anger. I do not consider that the biggest problem in America, but it is certainly a problem to make calls on. There is a growing anger, and this is again the second law of thermodynamics.

The issue here that you are talking about may seem to be an issue between white and black, but it is not. It is actually the fact that the power elite that runs America has built up the American military apparatus to a point where they believe that they can use it to project power anywhere in the world at their bidding. They think they can sacrifice young American men and women in these meaningless wars for domination and control.

It is the unwillingness of America, and those who run America, to transition from the dualistic mindset of the Cold War into a non-dualistic mindset of the Golden Age. This unwillingness to transition then activates the force behind the second law of thermodynamics, and this increases chaos, entropy, disorder. It is just a matter of seeing where the conflict is that is likely to be the physical breakthrough point for the spirals of conflicts in the three higher octaves. While this is certainly a problem that affects African Americans, you will make the most efficient impact on this by making calls on the greater problem, the greater spirals in the three higher octaves. Because it is truly not a matter of black and white. It is just one expression of a much greater issue here.

While it is valid to some degree to make calls for the stopping of the spirals of anarchy, it is more important to make calls for the consuming of these spirals of war and the warring mentality that has so gripped America. This warring mentality, of course, goes back to the Revolutionary War, where the matrix was set, and America has not transcended it. The warring mentality was greatly reinforced by the Civil War, and some of the conflicts and atrocities committed against African Americans are simply a carryover from the Civil War, which has never been fully resolved in the American psyche.

There is still a much greater issue with the warring mentality in America where you think that you can solve all problems by using force, by using weapons. This mentality must be transcended, for as I said, you will not enter the Golden Age by using guns or other force-based technology. Because America will not transcend it, there is this bubbling up of conflicts that involve guns. “We will shoot back.” You have to have guns to do so. You have to be willing to use them to kill other human beings, even doing so randomly

Ask yourself this: If African Americans want to shoot back, who are they going to shoot at? If you have a riot where everybody loses control and starts shooting randomly, how can you avoid killing innocent people? Is it not the killing of innocent people that has stirred up the anger in the African American community? How does it make sense that you go out and do to others what has been done to you? How does that solve anything?

It does not solve anything, and that shows you that there are dark forces here who are seeking to accelerate the situation. The most efficient way to deal with this as spiritual people is to make the calls for the binding and consuming of these dark forces, for them to be taken from the earth. You will notice that, with these invocations, we are asking for the judgment, for the binding of the dark forces that work through specific organizations. We are not asking for the consuming or the destruction of these organizations, but for the removal of the dark forces so the people can be free to find a higher way.

You also can hold the vision and make the calls that there will emerge in the African American community another leader of the ability, the spiritual maturity, of Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela. They realized the futility of violence and could therefore inspire the African American community with a higher vision that goes beyond violence. Such leaders are in embodiment, but they are not quite ready to step out. But you can make the calls for their protection, for them to be cut free, and for them to be awakened.

How to change the American government

Question: I would love to see the vision that you have for America fulfilled, but I’ve been feeling pretty hopeless and suspicious with our government. I would like to say that I could trust the people in power, but I don’t. But I do trust the will of the people and that people are waking up. I don’t believe that we can work within this existing structure. I believe it’s too corrupt. So what do you see this looking like in terms of us taking our power back from the representatives? Could you give us an example of how we could transition without tearing the whole house down?

Answer by Ascended Master Saint Germain, July 18, 2015 through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during a conference in Los Angeles. It was given after a dictation by Saint Germain.

I am not asking you to trust the existing government. I do not trust the existing government, but I do trust that it is possible to change the system. You cannot change the system if you set yourself apart from the system and go into a state of hopelessness and despair and say that things are so bad that nothing can be done. This is what I am asking you to do: shift your consciousness away from this because you are, in a sense, disempowering yourselves. You are saying: “Things are so bad, things are so corrupt. All of the people in power are just so corrupt that there’s nothing we can do.” Then you have already lost.

If you say that nothing can be done, and if free will is the determining factor on earth, and if you are the top ten percent of the people, then shall not free will outplay itself? How can those who are the eighty percent of the population rise if you who are the top ten percent do not rise above the state of hopelessness?

It is not necessary to completely go within the system. You are right that it is not possible to completely change the system from within, but it is necessary to have a push-pull, a two-pronged approach, where you do have people who go into the system and seek to get into the system. You also have people who are working at the grassroots level in order to raise awareness and to galvanize a critical mass of people to stand up and demand change. It is perfectly true that you cannot go inside the system and change it only from there. On the other hand, it cannot be changed only from the grassroots level. It needs to be a two-pronged approach, an Alpha and Omega, a figure-eight flow.

I am not saying that you who are the spiritual people necessarily need to go into government, but you need to visualize and call forth, you need to support those who are at least honest politicians, who are honest administrators. I tell you, there are many, many people who have a true love for America and for freedom. They are deceived. Some of them are discouraged. But they still have enough love that they can be set free from the illusion. This is what you can make calls for, you who are the spiritual people. I am not asking you to do it all. You are not meant to do it all because the people need to wake up.

Do you not see that the problem is elitism? We do not want a small elite of spiritual people to change America. We want America to transcend elitism so that the people will become part of the process and see themselves as part of the process.

There is not a specific result that absolutely needs to be manifest. This is what trips up so many people who are well-meaning. They see a problem. Either they think that this problem needs to be solved somehow by the power elite being destroyed or the government being changed, or they see a vision and think that this particular vision must be manifest. I do not see it that way. I do not have a firm matrix for how the specifics should be manifest. There is much room for variation. There are many ways that this could be manifest.

You see, the point is to grasp a higher vision and to move towards that higher vision without being hung up on the specifics. You who are the spiritual people, yes, you can make specific calls, but I am asking you to hold a greater vision that is beyond these specifics where you sometimes get so hung up on the details. Sometimes those details, while important, are not decisive, are not consequential for the shift that needs to happen. This is one of the tricks of the fallen beings, which is to divert your attention into fighting for specific causes that, while they are worthy and important, are not decisive and consequential in the overall picture.

You have heard the saying that you can win the battle but lose the war. Too many times, well-meaning people get trapped into focusing on a specific cause, thinking that if we get this cause resolved, then we will have made progress. There are many causes that, although they are contributing to progress, they are not decisive. Therefore, pick your battles well. Strive for that overall vision.

I have given you many hints through this messenger. Sometimes they are veiled, but they are there. You can ask not only for spoken direction, but you can ask for inner direction. You can also make the calls that anyone who is open to receiving new ideas will be cut free, will be protected, will have the transformation of karma and psychology so that they can grasp that vision. Many of the visions I desire to bring forth, I cannot bring forth through you who are spiritual people. They need to be brought forth through people who have experience and expertise in specific areas related to government, industry, business, science and any other field.

I am asking you to consider two things. If you have experience in a certain area – be it education, be it science, be it health, whatever it may be – then develop that expertise and do work for a cause, for a change in that area. I am asking you to also strive to get that overall vision so you know that maybe sometimes it is not quite the time to push for that specific change because it is more productive to use your energies and attention to focus on a greater change.

I know well that it is difficult to start out a movement for this monumental shift in American democracy that I am calling for. Many people will reject it. Many people will be extremely negative towards the idea. I know it is a challenge, but it is one of the things that are important, that are consequential. Do not neglect this even though it is sometimes tempting to go for a change in a specific area where you may see quicker results. If the results are not decisive, then are we really making progress? Jesus said: “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and unto God that which is God’s.” What he meant was essentially this: Don’t fight for causes that are not consequential to the overall progression that comes from Above.

Kuan Yin will stay with earth

Question: How long will Kuan Yin stay with us. She can go on, but what is her decision or our option that she reflects her being with us? She has given a vow to be with the earth and help us.

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels (July 2013):

Kuan Yin will stay with us for the foreseeable future. The only reason that an ascended being would move on from planet earth was if there was no one left on earth that embodied the flame or the divine qualities that that being holds for earth. So as long as there are those who tune in to the heart of Kuan Yin, and strive to be the open doors for the flames of Mercy and Forgiveness, obviously Kuan Yin is having a beneficial effect on the planet.

There can be instances where an ascended being would simply recognize that no one on earth is the open door for that being’s flame, and it may then decide to move on to other planets where it could be of greater service to the lifestreams on that planet than it is to the life streams on earth. But in terms of Kuan Yin, she has so many followers in the East, and even many in the West, that she will stay with the earth for a very long time.

The Dalai Lama can move on

Question: Is the Dalai Lama the last embodiment of the Lama, or is he going to be the next one who will embody as the Dalai Lama?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels (July 2013):

The tradition will continue, partly because the Tibetan people are not ready, or willing, to give it up. Yet, as the current Dalai Lama, has expressed, he would like to see a shift in the Tibetan people.

Yet, it is not likely that the people will be willing to take the step up in consciousness that the Dalai Lama has taken and demonstrated to his people. They are still so bound by tradition that even if the lifestream that is the current Dalai Lama does not embody in the Tibetan race, they will simply “discover” another incarnation that they believe is the right one.

There is no unbroken linearity of one lifestream having embodied throughout the entire history of Tibet. There has been shifts several times, and there is likely to be so again.

Everything is subject to free will. Thus, the current Dalai Lama has expressed a desire to reincarnate as a women in the West in his next lifetime. This is of course his right to decide, but I do want to say that the current Dalai Lama has qualified for his ascension.

The fate of the Tibetan people

Question: We spoke about the Jewish people. Now the Tibetan people go through the same as the Jewish people. They are suffering from Chinese suppression. Are there in this nation lifestreams who embodied in the Jewish nation as well?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels (July 2013):

No, there are very, very few lifestreams embodying in Tibet today who have ever been part of the Jewish nation. There are billions of people on earth and you can see that there is only a limited number of lifestreams who have embodied in what you might call the Jewish nation or the Jewish race. There is very little interchange between the Jewish race and the people in Tibet.

The people in Tibet are largely, as Gautama Buddha has previously described, reaping what they have sown in terms of being so closed, having such a closed society for centuries. You will know that we have talked about the second law of thermodynamics, saying that a closed system will eventually be destroyed.

The more the people hold on to the closed system, the more they build a tension. If they are not willing to overcome this from within, then in many cases the change must come from without, as it has done for many civilizations in different historical epochs.

Do people qualify for the ascension today?

Question: Is there nowadays people who have reached such a level that people have ascended? We know from a previous dispensation that it was quite rare that people reached the level to ascend. Will people nowadays reach such a level that they can ascend? Do we have people who ascend, who reach ascension, nowadays?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels (July 2013):

If you look at the total number of people on earth, and the number of people ascending, then you can say that reaching the level where you qualify for the ascension is quite rare. Yet you also know there has been a requirement for some time that at least one person from earth should ascend every year.

During the last two to three decades the number of people ascending has actually grown. This is partly due to the fact that at this time – where we are still transitioning in consciousness between the Piscean and the Aquarian consciousness – many people who had reached a high level of maturity have volunteered to come into embodiment at this time in order to facilitate this transition.

Thus, there are more people ascending in these years and there are more people walking the earth who have attained a level of consciousness where they have either qualified for the ascension or they are likely to qualify at the end of this lifetime. There are indeed quite a number of people who have followed ascended master teachings for several decades and who have been diligent and giving their decrees – and first of all using the teachings to shift their consciousness – who have qualified, or are close to qualifying for their ascension.

The State of Israel is a test for all people

Question: What kind of unique role has the Jewish nation? What sort of divine plan was for this nation initially? What role do they as a nation play now in the worldwide society?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels (July 2013):

As with any other topic, there is no shortage of fanciful theories, including that the State of Israel is part of God’s plan, perhaps even part of the final battle of Armageddon. All of these theories have nothing to do with reality whatsoever. We of the ascended masters look at the modern State of Israel as a test, a test for the nations of the world, and a test for the people, the Jewish people everywhere, and the Jewish people who live in Israel. Of course, it is a test for the non-Jewish people who live in the State of Israel as well.

There is no inevitability that mandated the establishment of a Jewish state. This was partly created due to certain manipulations by a small power elite, but largely because many nations in the world felt that after the Holocaust it was necessary to extend some kind of gesture to the Jewish people. Yet, even according to the highest estimates, only 6 million people were killed in the Holocaust. I say “only” guardedly, of course. Nevertheless, it is a fact that 6 million people were starved to death in Ukraine during the reign of Stalin in the 1930s. So the world has not found it necessary to extend a similar gesture to the Ukrainian people, and you can mention many other examples around the world where there has been genocide, and it has been largely ignored by the world.

So why particularly the Jews? Well, it is obviously because Christianity is a religion that has incorporated the Old Testament into its scriptures, and by idolizing Jesus, it has also idolized the so-called Holy Land. There are many Christians, especially in the United States, who feel that the Holy Land, which is now inside the State of Israel, must have some epic significance in the world.

As we have said before, this is not the case. Jesus did not appear in physical embodiment in ancient Israel because it was a holy land, but because it was an unholy land with many fallen beings that needed their judgment. The entire region of the Middle East is not a holy land, because, again, as you can even see today, there is much warring and strife.

It would be highly wise if the Christians in the United States would rethink their attitude to the State of Israel. It truly is not in any way worth it to risk a large-scale war, potentially a nuclear confrontation, over any state around the world. The State of Israel and the people in it need to learn to see themselves as simply one nation among the family of nations, not as in any way special, favored by God or entitled to certain special treatment or privileges.

Only if the Jewish people would have a realistic assessment of their own worth, relative to the worth of the people around them, could there be real progress made towards solving the problems that surround the State of Israel and that reverberate through the entire region. This of course would necessitate that the many Christians, especially in the United States, would be willing to reevaluate the Bible and recognize that much of the Old Testament is simply a history of a specific group of people, and therefore not at all the infallible word of God.

I recognize as a practical realist that this is not likely to happen to-day or tomorrow. Yet, I give the vision to those who are the spiritual people. I ask you to hold the vision that there will not be a large-scale war or armed conflict over the state of Israel. As with any other problem around the world, there is always the potential for a peaceful solution through a raising of awareness. A raising of awareness cannot happen unless people are willing to look at a problem in an honest and straightforward manner, as I have given you just a glimpse here of what really needs to be recognized about this issue.

Conspiracy theories and the State of Israel

Question: Does the Jewish nation dominate the power elite? Is it true that this nation was behind the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917? What sort of lifestreams take embodiment in which nation?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels (Given in July 2013):

We have given teachings on the Jewish nation and the nation of Israel in our dictations in Israel from 2009, (The link is for the first dictation. By using the date, you can easily find the succeeding dictations given in Israel) and I encourage you to study them. I also encourage you to be careful about what kind of conspiracy theories you take in. Obviously, the Jewish nation, if by that you mean the modern state of Israel, could not have financed the Bolshevik Revolution as the modern state of Israel was not in existence at the time. So what you are talking about here is that there are certain people, who are of Jewish descent, who have been involved in various schemes throughout the ages, including the banking industry. But this does not mean that the Jewish nation, which would imply all Jewish people, are responsible for this.

It is, however, necessary to say that the Jews were not God’s chosen people. The entire idea that God has chosen people can only spring from the fallen mindset, which of course has had a certain influence on the Bible and many other religious scriptures and many other peoples around the world. It is not so that there is one group of people that has more fallen beings than others, but the fallen beings are everywhere, especially in the bigger nations where there is more power. Thus, you can see that there were many centuries where the Jewish people were scattered all around the world, and there really was not what one could call a Jewish nation. Therefore, it was not particularly attractive for fallen beings to embody among them.

In the modern state of Israel there is a certain number of fallen beings, but not particularly higher percentagewise than other nations, especially the larger ones. So there really is no reason to blame the modern Jewish people for these conspiracies that were initiated by one or a few people. There are also Americans who were involved in financing the Bolshevist Revolution and you cannot blame all Americans for this, even though, as we have said, if a nation allows a power elite to continue to exist and manipulate things behind the scenes, there is a certain karmic responsibility for all people.

Yet, again, do not use the examples of a few to label all people of a particular group or nation. It is obvious that the Jewish people have, throughout the ages, been the subject of much discrimination, and this is, of course, not something that we of the ascended masters encourage.

The Jewish people of today are not that different from people everywhere, when you look beyond the outer surface appearances, as we have encouraged you to do in our teachings. See the universal, spiritual aspects of all people and you will not only live a more peaceful life on earth, but more quickly qualify for your ascension.

Where are Stalin and Lenin today?

Question: About Stalin and Lenin: What is known about the lifestream of Stalin, where is it today? The second question: What kind of burden for Russia is created by the unburied body of Lenin?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels:

The lifestream of Lenin is, as mentioned before, situated in a level of what you would call hell. It corresponds to his level of consciousness in his last embodiment, but also to the consciousness he had for several embodiments before the last one.

This is a level of hell where he is not particularly suffering, but where he is completely blinded by his own self-created illusions. He feels as if he is one of these houses you have where the walls are made of glass and mirrors. Once you get into the maze, you cannot find your way out. He has been in this situation since the passing of his body and could potentially remain there for a long time, because the reality is that he cannot escape on his own accord.

He cannot get out of the mind-created maze by using his own mind. Thus, he can only get out by asking for help, and he has so far been to proud to ask because of his denial of any spiritual beings.

The lifestream of Stalin is in the process, the final stages, before it will be taken to the Court of Sacred Fire and face the initiation that can lead to the second death, unless the lifestream is willing to repent. There are still some ascended beings working with this lifestream to see if it can be brought to the point of being willing to look at its past and the consequences of its choices.

It may still take some time before it enters the Court of the Sacred Fire, and it is, of course, not set in stone that the lifestream will go through the second death. The likelihood of lifestreams who have committed such atrocities being willing to acknowledge their errors and turn around is traditionally quite low.

In terms of the burdens for Russia, well it is the same as it is for China. When you have a previous leader who took the nation into a downward spiral and you maintain the physical body of that leader (even if it is a wax figure that has very little of the original tissue left), then you are maintaining a focus in the physical octave of the consciousness that caused the leader to initiate the downward spiral. It is also a focus for the consciousness that the entire nation built during that spiral. Therefore, it does not make it easier for a nation to transcend the past. Yet I will say that in the case of China, the impact is much greater much more negative from maintaining Mao’s body, because there are so few people in China who recognize the ascended masters and use our decrees.

Because of the larger number of people in Russia who acknowledge our existence and use our decrees, whether given through this messenger or previous dispensations, the negative impact of Lenin has been neutralized to the point where, although it is still there, it will not have a decisive impact on the future of Russia.

This is to the credit of the many ascended master students who have used our decrees and who have also been willing to look at the mindset, the consciousness, of the Soviet era and transcend it in themselves. It is even to the point where we can say that for the majority of the Russian people, Lenin has become largely irrelevant.

Stalin is still a more powerful symbol for too many Russians. Yet even the impact of Stalin as a symbol has been reduced dramatically, as this messenger was shown when he visited the Red Square. He felt that what used to be the central symbol of Soviet power has largely been neutralized to the point, where it really is not the strong downward pull that it used to be until very few years ago.

Again, this is a credit to the students who have used the ascended master decrees, studied our teachings and applied them. I would like to give special recognition to the students who have used the decrees and invocations and rosaries released through this messenger and who have been willing to study the teachings given at our conference in St Petersburg.

Be patient about North Korea

Question: There was a big tension for a while between North and South Korea early this year (2013), in March. North Korea has developed a nuclear weapon which can decide South Korea’s destiny, even though North Korea thinks they get weapons from America. What is the ascended masters’ vision for both the North and South Korean people to overcome the duality consciousness?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels.

There are many, many people in South Korea who are very dear to our hearts, who are highly evolved spiritually, have pure hearts and pure intentions. There are of course also such people embodied in North Korea, but in far smaller numbers due to the conditions there and the lack of openness. Thus, it can truly be said that the people of South Korea are holding the spiritual balance for the people of North Korea.

There is no doubt that the vision of the ascended masters is for a reunification of the two Koreas so that they are unified as one democratic nation, just as you have seen with Germany. This will of course be a great sacrifice for the people of the South and it will create quite an economic turmoil for some time.

When exactly this will happen I will not prophecy about for it depends on too many variables. What I will say, is this: Most of what is coming out of North Korea is simply empty threats. The North Korean nuclear program is not nearly as sophisticated as even the North Korean leaders believe. It is not as sophisticated as portrayed by the American intelligence services. It is one thing to have developed certain weapons, it is another thing to actually make them work.

Thus, I would counsel patience; the best ally for working towards the vision of a unified Korea at this point in time. There are forces within North Korea who are already moving in a way that the leaders cannot stop towards a breakdown of the system. It is true that many people are dying of starvation. We of the ascended masters have compassion for this. But certainly, if there was an armed confrontation, many more people would die.

Therefore, again, it is sometimes necessary to allow free will to outplay itself. As the North Korean people are not standing up to their leaders to a certain degree, then there is no opening for bringing a swift resolution to the problem.

It is very difficult, of course, for both embodied beings and ascended beings to stand by and watch the continuation of such suffering. But in all honesty, do we not see the same many places around the world? We of the ascended masters even face the situation that we see all human suffering as essentially unnecessary, and thus we many times wonder how long will people continue.

How severe does the suffering have to be before someone comes to the point where they say, as Saint Germain expressed: “It is time to end this.” There must be a certain number of people in North Korea who come to that point of resolution, and dare to speak it to the leaders who will not let go of power.

Give this situation time. Make the calls, give the rosaries, hold the vision, but be patient. Be not in a state of panic. Do not envision that other nations, whether the United States or any others, need not take immediate military action, for this would not be wise at all.

You may also envision that China resolves some of its internal impotence concerning the North Korean issue. Certainly, China could play a role here, but nevertheless it is not China that will solve the problem. We of course do not envision for North Korea becoming a part of China, but becoming part of a unified Korea.

Your donations keep this website in existence

By Kim Michaels

Since 2003 I have worked full-time as a messenger for the ascended masters. This website was here for you to find because in the past someone made a donation or made a purchase from the store. If you have benefitted from the teachings, please consider making a contribution so the site can be here for others to find in the future.

The ascended masters have almost unlimited material they want to bring forth. Your donation will also help keep this material coming so the site can be expanded and new dictations, answers to questions, books, decrees and invocations be published.

What will your contribution be used for? First of all, it makes it possible for me to spend all of my time on my work for the ascended masters. I am not independently wealthy so if I did not receive contributions and income from sales, I would have to spend time working. When you consider how much material is available for free on all four websites, you can see that this material could never have come into the physical world if I had to work full time.

There are, of course, also expenses related to running the website and new equipment. If enough donations come in, money will be spent on promoting the teachings of the ascended masters.

Donations will also help keep the material freely available. Thanks to donations, I have avoided allowing advertizing on the sites or charging for specific material.

You can support the work in several ways:

Buy books, Ebooks or sound files from the STORE.

Use a credit card to make a donation from the STORE (credit cards are processed by Paypal but you don’t need a Paypal account).

Mail a check or make a bank transfer.

Make a donation via Paypal. If you have a paypal account, you can transfer money to my account by using the email for my account: kimismore[at]gmail.com. The name on the account is Kim Michaels.

Making karma in business

Question: What kind of karma will those make who are actually involved in selling cigarettes, alcohol?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels.

People who sell any kind of products that are detrimental to people’s physical and psycho-spiritual health will incur severe karma. I strongly advise any spiritual people to withdraw themselves from these kinds of businesses.

There are, of course, many other businesses where you make karma. Any kind of pornography, any kind of exploitation of other people in various forms, will incur a heavy karma. If you are engaged in a business that is based on disregard for other people, or deception of other people, you will incur a karma that you simply do not want to have as a spiritual person who is concerned about making your ascension.

Do you make karma for paying a bribe?

Question: What sort of karma will a lifestream who pays a bribe make? What sort of karma will a lifestream who receives this bribe make? What is the difference if a lifestream who pays a bribe was forced in some way?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels.

Obviously, bribes and corruption are not part of the golden age so you need to hold the vision that societies, all societies, will move towards a point where corruption is stamped out. Nevertheless, we are of course practical realists, and we realize that there are many nations around the world where corruption is such an ingrained part of the current culture that it is almost impossible to live, have a job, or especially conduct a business, without giving bribes.

I would, of course, very strongly advise against people who are ascended master students taking bribes, accepting bribes. It would be strongly advisable for you to find another occupation where you do not have to accept bribes. Yet, we also need to be practical realists and say that there are some nations where you cannot conduct a business without giving bribes. You are in many cases facing the question of do you want to conduct business, and give a bribe, or do you want to not give a bribe, and then be unable to conduct any business?

There is no question that you always make karma by giving a bribe, but if it is ingrained in the culture, and thus virtually unavoidable in the present situation, the karma is less than if you did so in a country where it is not a normal or accepted part of the culture. In other words, in a country where corruption is at a minimum and is very rare, you would make a more severe karma than in a country where it is almost a daily part of business.

You will, of course, be wise to keep this to an absolute minimum. If possible, look for an occupation where you do not have to give bribes, but if you deem, according to your own choices and inner discernment, that you cannot get along without doing so, then accept it as a necessary evil and move on with your life. Be prepared to give some violet flame to consume the karma, but do not engage in any spiral of feeling guilty or negative about it.

You may think that we would give a more stern advice on this, but we are simply being practical realists. There is hardly a country in the world right now where you can live without making karma. This is not because of corruption, but there are many other ways to make a certain karma by being engaged in certain activities. If, for example, you live in an affluent country that has the means to help, say, starving children in Africa, but is not using those means to its fullest potential, then you are making karma for that. You are making karma for not speaking out.

If you are living in a country such as the United States, as Saint Germain said, where there is a strong power elite that is literally bleeding the lifeblood out of the financial system to the detriment of the people, then even those among the people who allow this situation to continue are making a certain karma from this.

That is why I am saying that we are practical realists. It is difficult to live anywhere in the world right now without making a certain amount of karma. Thus, you need to be realistic and say that there are certain countries where you have to do certain things in order to manifest your life plan. You will, of course, do well to strive for Christ discernment in such matters.

Is China a threat to the world?

Question: As we can see, China is growing and becoming strong in economic and political aspects, its consciousness is growing. We have important people of China all over the world, we cherish Chinese products. Is there a strong power elite in China and do Chinese people have enough high consciousness, and is the expansion of China a kind of threat to us or others all over the world?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels.

China is a potential threat to the peace of the world, there is no question about that. It is, however, not something I want to paint as a Doomsday scenario. There is, of course, a very strong power elite in China that has grown out of the communist era, or should we say the more openly or traditional communist era. For certainly, you cannot truly say that China is in a strictly communist phase right now. China is in a process of transition, and there are indeed many people in China who have a certain level of Christ consciousness, even though they, of course, would not label it as such consciously, for they do not have this understanding.

Nevertheless, there are people in China who can hold a certain spiritual balance for the nation. That is why you see that China so far has had a relatively peaceful transition from the more traditionally communist phase to what you today could call a hybrid communist-capitalist phase. Is China a communist society today? Well, how can you call it communism, when you allow the kind of capitalist activities that are taking place? How can you be a traditionally communist country when goods produced in China are imported in every country?

Yet, be not blind to the fact that when a country exports its goods, it is always a two-way street. It is not just money coming back; it is also a stream of consciousness. Therefore, China is being transformed not only from within, but also by the return current of consciousness coming from all of the nations that are importing Chinese goods, or in other ways having business relations with China.

There is therefore a realistic potential that China will not become a military threat, and that it will, in fact, not become an economic threat, but that China will transition into a more open, and even in time, a more democratic system that will in fact allow China to take up its place among the family of nations. There are, of course, many hurdles that need to be overcome. You might find cause to study the dictations given in China last year, which will give you a deeper understanding of the spiritual aspects of the challenges faced by China.

Much more can be said. I trust that more will be said, as the time and cycles allow it. But for now I simply wish to say: Hold the vision of a gradual peaceful transition. Truly, if the transition is to be peaceful, it must be gradual. Therefore take the long view on China and hold the vision of a gradual transition.

In fact, hold the vision of a transition so gradual that the power elite in China will not actually realize what is happening and how profound are the changes that have already begun. Hold the vision that they will not realize that it is already too late to turn back the changes, and therefore they will not make an attempt out of panic to revert the changes that will inevitably take China towards more openness and freedom.

Embodying the qualities of Master MORE

Question: We are very grateful to you, Master MORE, for your service to help us to be here and learn. I would like to ask how can we embody your quality on earth in the best way, how can we be, in the best way, the open doors, in order to manifest the golden age on earth? What vision do you have for us?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels:

My vision is that you continue to pursue your personal Christhood, and then there will be some among you who will gradually come to feel, if you do not already, a stronger affinity, a stronger connection, with me. As you grow in your Christhood, you will begin to consciously acknowledge this connection, which can grow to a sense of oneness where you can become my twin on earth – my twin in embodiment.

This is the vision I hold for those of you for whom this is part of your divine plan: You come to the point where you have such a strong inner connection with me that you can receive directions from within yourselves, not necessarily clearly spoken directions, but simply an inner sense of who I am and how I would express my being in a particular situation. In other words, my vision is that you will not need to be told by anyone outside yourself how to serve in bringing forth the golden age, for you will know this from within yourselves.

My vision and wish is that those of you who already have a connection with me would come to consciously acknowledge your connection. Dare to acknowledge that you are worthy of serving as my twin on earth, as my open door on earth. Then dare to express it and to allow myself to express myself through you in whatever form I desire in a given situation.

Are violent revolutions and protests necessary?

Question: In Kyrgyzstan recently, we had a revolution, and we still have, in our country, people who go to demonstrations; old, young, men, women, who are always demonstrating. They are angry with the current government, the current situation, and there are also many women who have many children. Why do they go to demonstrations?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels:

As we have said many times, free will must be allowed to outplay itself, and this is why you see some countries that need to go through these very angry, violent protests in order to come to a point where the people who are in a position to make changes accept the fact that, as we have said, it is time to end the old cycle and truly bring reforms in society. We of the ascended masters do, of course, never encourage violent or angry protests of any kind.

It is not our desire to see this, nor is it necessary to bring changes through anger and violence. There is always a higher way. The question is, of course, whether the people of a given nation can find that higher way. In some cases, in fact in many cases, they cannot. You see this in many other countries around the world. Even in some of the older democracies there is from time to time angry protests.

The question in any nation is simply this: “Is there a sufficient number of people who have reached a level of Christ consciousness where they can hold the spiritual balance for the nation to make a peaceful transition into a new phase?” If that is the case, than a nation both can and will transition peacefully. If that is not the case, then anger and violence will most often be necessary for those who are in a position to bring changes, to recognize that the old ways have outlived their time and it is necessary to bring true reforms.

As we have said, there is always an established elite that wants to hold on to its privileges as long as possible. It is a question of what it takes for this elite to accept that change is necessary, or whether it is even necessary to overthrow the elite through a violent revolution. Again, we never recommend this and we, of course, ask our students to hold the vision that this will not be necessary, but truly you can only hold the spiritual balance by striving to raise your own consciousness to a certain level of Christhood. Thus, this is always the approach we recommend for those students who recognize our existence.

Homosexual relationships are karmic relationships

Question: We would like to know the higher vision of people being gay. In the developed countries, should the state recognize gay marriage and what about homosexual couples adopting children?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels:

Jesus has given extensive teachings on homosexuality. What I will give here, is just a simplified comment on particular aspects of this issue. First of all, we have said before that we are not really concerned about whether a state recognizes the right of two homosexual people to live together in a committed partnership and therefore receives the same benefits, such as tax laws, as heterosexual couples. This is an issue for the state to decide. It is of course also an issue for the people to decide, and a nation has a right to decide not to allow this.

When it comes to allowing homosexual couples to adopt children, again, there is always free will, but we of the ascended masters do not recommend that any country allows homosexual couples to adopt children. Again, if you take what Saint Germain has discoursed on here about the shift in consciousness, it is clear that when you rise to a certain level of Christ consciousness, it is obvious that there is a reason why it takes a male and a female body to produce a child. This reason is, of course, as was already explained, that everything in the world is based on the two polarities of masculine and feminine. This is simply the natural order of things.

However, when it comes to homosexuality on a planet like earth, we are again facing the situation that when people on a planet go into duality, they create very, very complex karmic relationships. It is entirely possible that two people, who happen to embody both in male or female bodies in this lifetime, need to live together in a relationship in order to have an opportunity to work out their karma with each other. What I am basically saying here is that all homosexual relationships are karmic relationships.

It is therefore, from an ascended master perspective, important to convey that we are beyond any human judgments, or value judgments. We do not judge or condemn anyone. Our only concern is to help lifestreams rise to a higher level of consciousness. Therefore we would like to make it clear that although a country has a right to outlaw homosexual marriage, we are not in any way supporting the traditional discrimination against homosexual people that you see in many societies.

We are not even supporting what you see in many countries that are based on the Old Testament: Christianity, Islam and Judaism where what was said in the Old Testament has been used to condemn and discriminate against homosexual people. Therefore, we want to make it clear that when you do rise to a certain level of Christ consciousness, you have no judgment, you have no anger, you have no looking down upon people living a different lifestyle.

However, when it comes to homosexual people seeking to make society recognize their lifestyle there is, again, a discernment to be made. It is in order that a society recognizes the right of homosexual couples to live in a committed relationship and have certain rights. But it is not in a higher order that a society labels homosexuality as natural, or created by God or created by nature.

Homosexuality was not created by God, it was not created by nature, it was not created by chance. It was created by choice. It was created because certain lifestreams became unbalanced in either the masculine or the feminine polarity. Therefore, for example, a lifestream with a strong masculine imbalance embodies in a masculine body, and therefore has an opportunity to overcome the imbalance through a homosexual relationship.

In other words, there is not necessarily a correspondence between the spiritual side, as we might say, of a soul and its physical body, and this is also what you realize when you see the higher Christ discernment. Then you see that the traditional roles of men and women are not set in stone, and that is why you can begin to see, as both Kuan Yin and Saint Germain said, that in order to have a higher golden age view of families, there needs to be a transcendence of these traditional roles that lock men and women in certain roles based on the sex of the body.

There may well be lifestreams that are now embodied in a male body, who could fulfill a traditionally more feminine role and be at home and take care of the children. There may now be lifestreams who are now embodied in a female body who actually, in order to fulfill their divine plan, need to take a more male role and be engaged in society or business.

When you raise awareness, you begin to become more fluid, and you begin to discern from a higher view. Thus you can transcend the traditional judgment and discrimination that only makes karma for both sides in a conflict. Many of the traditional religious people who actually condemn homosexuals based on their religious beliefs and a rather fundamentalist interpretation of them, actually make karma by doing so and we, of course, do not desire to see this for our students.

A non-linear view of twin flames

Question: The question is about twin flames. Are the twin flames embodied at the same time, and are they considered as the divine spouse to each other? What happens if one twin flame goes through the process of the Second Death? Why is the divine spouse sometimes in the spiritual realm? What does it mean to be a spouse in the spiritual realm?

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels:

Let me begin by referring to what Nicholas Roerich said in Novosibirsk where he talked about the people who go into a very linear mindset and compare one ascended master teaching, given through one messenger or dispensation, to another. They then look for discrepancies and contradictions and use them to either label one as false, or both as false or all spiritual teachings as false.

You understand that when we give a teaching through a particular dispensation, we are giving it for a particular level of consciousness. We are not attempting to give a final or absolute teaching because, as Nicholas and others have said, it is not possible to express a final teaching through words.

You will notice that Saint Germain earlier talked about the fact that the concept of twin flames is not as linear in the ascended realm as many students have come to see it. You will see that, in previous dispensations, it was said that two lifestreams that were twin flames were created together in the spiritual realm. But it was also said that there are some ascended masters who did not take embodiment on earth while their twin flame took embodiment on earth. In some cases the twin flame has now become an ascended master, in other cases the twin flame has not yet ascended. It was even said that I, El Morya, had a twin flame that had gone through the Second Death. You can see from this that it is necessary to understand things from a less linear perspective, if you want a higher understanding of this concept.

It is correct that everything in creation proceeds on the model which we have described when the unified, indivisible Creator first started to create form by creating two expressions of itself, the masculine and the feminine. It is correct that this model goes through the entire hierarchical structure, leading from the Creator through all levels of the previous spheres to the sphere in which you find yourself. Lifestreams are created in pairs, one holding a more masculine polarity and one holding a more feminine polarity.

Yet you have to understand that each of these two lifestreams is also created as a complete sphere, having a masculine and feminine polarity within itself. So your I AM Presence is in a polarity with another I AM Presence, but your I AM Presence is an individual being that has both masculine and feminine qualities.

When it comes to taking embodiment in an un-ascended sphere, such as earth, other considerations come into play. There are many different scenarios. It is possible that two twin flames will decide that only one of them will take embodiment whereas the other will remain in the higher realm. It is possible that both will take embodiment at the same time. It is possible that one of the twin flames will take embodiment on one planet and the other on another planet. So there are many different scenarios, which are determined by how the I AM Presences want to pursue the path of growth. It is therefore important to realize that when a lifestream takes embodiment, it may not take embodiment with a twin flame on the same planet.

Now comes another consideration. It is of course entirely possible for a lifestream to take embodiment in the material realm without falling, without going into the consciousness of separation and duality. It is retaining a connection to its I AM Presence and using that connection to go all the way through the process of the ascension.

When a lifestream actually falls, it goes into duality, and you cannot go into duality without having a division. This, however, does not mean that the lifestream, or we can at this point say the soul, is split into two that form a pair. If a lifestream was split like this, it would be virtually impossible for the two lifestreams, for the two aspects of the soul, to come together and actually ascend.

In an un-ascended sphere it is necessary that each soul still has the potential to ascend as an individual. When a soul goes into duality, there is a great risk that it can go into a downward spiral. If it was linked to another soul or soul fragment and could only ascend with that, it would be very difficult for anyone to ascend. What actually happens when you go into duality, is that you are assigned another lifestream, another soul, that has also gone into duality.

Now, these two souls form a pair. This means that they actually are assigned based on the primary quality they embodied after they fell into duality. For example, to keep it very simple – which of course is not the complete story, but to avoid unnecessary complexity – one lifestream, when it falls, may embody a more masculine quality and it will then be assigned a polarity that embodies a more feminine quality.

This is done because there now is a potential that two lifestreams can actually come together and embody together and they can then balance each other. When a lifestream goes into duality in its first embodiment after that, it will actually embody together with its twin lifestream, its twin soul. Yet, if the two souls do not take advantage of this opportunity, if they do not balance each other, they may make karma that may split them so that in succeeding lifetimes they do not embody together.

That is why there are many people on earth who have this dream of finding the perfect partner here in embodiment and having the perfect male-female relationship, or even sometimes a male-male, or female-female relationship, where they have a sense that there is another lifestream that they desperately want to find. What they are truly longing for at the deepest level, is to get back to a polarity with the I AM Presence, but at a more surface level they are longing to get back to the twin soul that was assigned to them after they fell.

There are indeed some spiritual students who in their last lifetime, or what could potentially be their last lifetime, are given the opportunity to embody together with that twin soul and therefore have a relationship with that soul. Again, some make use of this opportunity and balance each other while others do not. Sometimes they can make such karma that either one or both of them cannot ascend after that lifetime. In other cases they do help each other so that both can ascend.

So you understand that everything is fluid in an un-ascended realm. Therefore, there are many possible scenarios. We have previously given a teaching that was fairly simple so as not to give too much complexity, which we judged that people were not able to handle at the time. What I am giving you here is just a glimpse of how complex the situation actually is when lifestreams fall into duality. This helps you see how incredibly complex it is for what you call the Karmic Board. This is what you know of just as the Karmic Board for earth, but there is of course such a Karmic Board for each planet with un-ascended lifestreams.

It is incredibly complex to attempt to get lifestreams to go through the process leading to the ascension. It is truly a wonder of wonders how the ascended masters who make up such Karmic Boards manage to bring some of the lifestreams who have gone into duality and gone far into a downward spiral, back to the upward path, and how they manage to bring lifestreams who have karma with each other together to give them sometimes opportunity after opportunity.

If you could see the considerations and the calculations that are taking place, you would be in awe. Not even the best supercomputers you have on earth could actually calculate the very complex processes that a Karmic Board goes through in seeking to help one lifestream, or a group of lifestreams, back to the ascended state.

Added by Master MORE:

What you see is that the concept of twin flames – as it has been used in previous dispensations – can actually refer to at least two different scenarios. There is the original spiritual twin flame with which you were created and then there is the twin soul that you were assigned after falling into duality.

Take care to understand that the original twin flame was based on a true spiritual relationship. You did not own your twin flame and your twin flame did not own you. You were meant to supplement each other, but you would each ascend without the other. That is why it is possible for ascended masters to have twin flames that are unascended or have gone through the second death.

You – as an individual lifestream – will NOT ascend together with your twin flame. Two twin flames can theoretically ascend at the same time (although it is very rare), but they still ascend as individuals. You have a twin flame because having this connection makes it easier for you to navigate in an unascended realm—it gives you a longing for something greater than yourself. Yet you still ascend only when YOU become complete and self-sufficient as an individual lifestream, meaning that you balance and complete the Alpha and Omega aspects of your own being. That is why one twin flame can ascend before the other.

When it comes to what we might call soul twin flames, the experience people have is quite different. When you fall into duality, you lose the inner connection to your I AM Presence and spiritual twin flame and this makes you feel incomplete and unwhole. The twin soul you are assigned now becomes a surrogate for the spiritual twin flame, and you expect or demand that this soul should fill your longing for wholeness. There is often a sense that you cannot be complete without the other soul and that you own the other soul.

This is quite unfortunate because the twin soul can never fill the position of the twin flame. Thus, you only create an impossible situation that often makes both partners feel unfulfilled in a relationship. Many spiritual people have been or are in such relationships.

Take care to note the essential consideration here. The purpose of having a spiritual twin flame is for you to long for something so much that you are willing to let go of the lesser self in order to magnetize yourself to the twin flame. YOU are the one who must change yourself in order to magentize yourself to the twin.

Once they fall into duality, many people forget this. They now think that they can use the lesser self to define a standard that their soul twin flame should live up to. This causes them to seek to use the power of the lesser self to force the soul twin flame to change instead of changing themselves. This, of course, can never take you towards the ascension but only into a downward spiral.

This dynamic explains why many of the spiritual people, who are together with their soul twin flame in their potentially last embodiment, have difficulties balancing the karma with each other. As soul twin flames it is absolutely necessary that you overcome any sense of ownership or obligation. In many cases, one or both partners in such a relationship cannot let go of this sense that they own their partner, that their partner is obligated towards them, that their partner must never leave or that they are entitled to get something from their partner. The relationship then becomes a control game, which may break up the relationship and even last after that where one or both partners seek to destroy or control the other.

In terms of soul twin flames, you are not actually together in order to attain oneness or even do a work together. You are together as an opportunity for each of you to set your partner free—and thereby set yourself free. If one partner refuses to do this, that person might become very angry when the other partner moves on in consciousness. Any time you see a spiritual person who is very angry with a present or past spouse, it is because that person has not been willing to set the spouse (and him- or herself) free. By clinging to the old consciousness and the sense of ownership, the person creates such inner tension that he or she cannot contain the rage, and it is obviously directed towards the spouse. Only those who will not take responsibility for themselves will direct anger at other people.

When it comes to the concept of a divine spouse, we could use this term to describe a third scenario, namely that a lifestream trapped in duality is assigned to a lifestream who is either close to ascending or has already ascended. Many of us who have ascended from earth have a number of people in embodiment for whom we serve as the divine spouse. This is often, but not always, people we made karma with or who made karma with us while in embodiment.

Some people in embodiment mix this scenario with the concept of twin flames and think they have an ascended twin flame. It is, of course, possible that an unascended lifestream has an ascended twin flame. Yet it is not necessarily the case that this is the lifestream’s original spiritual twin flame. It can be an ascended master who was assigned as a twin flame or divine spouse. You will see quite a number of ascended master students who believe they have an ascended master as their twin flame or who was told this by someone they consider an authority. In the vast majority of cases, this refers not to their original spiritual twin flame but to an assigned twin flame or divine spouse.

The purpose of assigning more evolved lifestreams to less advanced is, of course, that the more advanced lifestream can hold the spiritual balance for the less advanced lifestream. This creates a pull that makes it easier for you to ascend. I myself have quite a large number of unascended lifestreams that I have chosen to take on in this capacity. Some of these believe they are my twin flame, and while this is not technically correct, it can still be helpful for them to have this belief.

My original spiritual twin flame has ascended a very long time ago (from another planet than earth) and was holding the balance for me while I was ascending. My ascended twin flame is not currently working with earth and is therefore not known as an ascended master by people on earth. I know that in a previous dispensation it was said that my twin flame had gone through the second death, but this was a lifestream for whom I was acting as a divine spouse.

This can be compared to Portia ascending long before Saint Germain and also from another planet. After her ascension, she rose to hold the position as Goddess of Justice. Due to their devotion to the Flame of Justice, the inhabitants of earth (with the help of Saint Germain, of course) have magnetized Portia to earth so she is today known as an ascended master.

My spiritual twin flame holds the position as Goddess of Honesty. She can also be magnetized to earth, but so far not enough people in embodiment have shown sufficient devotion to the Flame of Honesty that this has happened. I am giving you this vision so that some of you might take steps to become magnets for the Flame of Honesty if you so choose.

This, of course, would require you to first let go of the linear mindset. There is nothing on earth that compares to the Flame of Honesty or that can be used to define a standard for the Flame of Honesty to which you compare everything. You do not magnetize a spiritual flame by defining earthly characteristics but by transcending such characteristics and tuning in to the flame’s transcendent quality.

Karma can be balanced in a non-linear way

Question: This is a question about Second Death. When a lifestream goes through the process of the Second Death, this lifestream’s karma, in case of some lifestream who has no chance to embody on this planet due to heavy karma and has to embody in the lowest level, how can this lifestream transform his karma?

Answer from Master MORE through Kim Michaels:

Let me begin by commenting on lifestreams that no longer have the opportunity to embody on earth. Some lifestreams will actually go to other planetary systems that have an even lower mass consciousness than what you currently find on earth. There are not a huge number of such planets compared to the total number of planets in the material universe with intelligent life. Nevertheless, there are quite a few. It is possible that a lifestream, after no longer qualifying to embody on earth, will go and embody on such planets where, of course, it receives another opportunity to work out its karma.

You have to understand here that everything is subject to free will. There is sometimes a tendency, especially from people who are familiar with Eastern teaching, to think that karma is something that is set in stone, something that predestines the lifestream’s current lifetime and that there is little that the lifestream can do to overcome the karma.

This, of course, is not so. I have previously given extensive teachings on the fact that if you truly shift your consciousness, if you are willing to learn the lesson, to see how your consciousness limits you, and if you are willing to truly shift out of that element of the duality consciousness, then you can very quickly balance your karma. This means that even lifestreams that embody in the lower realms still have an opportunity to balance their karma and to balance it fairly quickly.

Karma is not punishment. It is not that the Karmic Board looks at the karma made by a certain lifestream, writes a linear record and therefore says that if a lifestream has made a certain amount of karma, that means that lifestream has to spend a certain amount of time before it can be free of its karma. In other words, the Karmic Board does not work as the judges on earth that meter out that a certain crime means a certain number of years in prison.

The Karmic Board has only one concern and that is to set lifestreams free to move on in the process of self-transcendence. This means that if a lifestream truly has transcended a certain level of consciousness, then the lifestream will receive assistance to balance its karma very quickly. In some cases an ascended master may even take on the karma and balance that karma; in other words neutralize the energy impulses that make up the karma.

The same, of course, applies to lifestreams who cannot embody on a physical planet, but go to what we have called the astral plane, the emotional realm. There are lifestreams attached to earth, there are lifestreams attached to other planets, that are stuck in this emotional realm. Yet even they have an opportunity to make a dramatic shift in consciousness.

This shift for such lifestreams really only happens in one way. These lifestreams are in the School of Hard Knocks and the knocks will continue to get harder and harder because they are now in a realm where all lifestreams have a lower state of consciousness and thus they inevitably clash with each other. It is a matter of a lifestream coming to the point where it says: “I have had enough of this. I do not want this anymore. Please help me!” When it asks for help, a lifestream will always be given help. If it is willing to look at its own consciousness and shift that consciousness, then again, it can rise relatively quickly and even balance a very large amount of karma in a much shorter timespan than if it had stayed in a lower state of consciousness.

You understand what I am saying here. There are people who are aware of karma and who seek to balance the karma by taking certain outer actions. For example, if you are a good Christian or a good Buddhist and act according to the outer rules of these religions, you will not make as much new karma as if you are an aggressive, selfish person. If you practice certain practices, such as prayers or chanting, you will even balance some of your karma. Yet you will not balance this as quickly as if you truly made a shift in consciousness.

What I am saying is that there are two ways to balance your karma. One is the more linear way where you balance it very gradually and the other is a more revolutionary way where you go through a revolution in your state of consciousness. Thus, you can balance it much more quickly because now you have risen far above the state of consciousness in which you made the karma.

Even a lifestream who goes through the process that can lead to the Second Death, in other words goes to the Court of the Sacred Fire, will be given counseling on how it can shift its consciousness dramatically. Any lifestream can, even up until the last moment, shift its consciousness, turn around, raise its awareness and make the decision that it is willing to truly reform itself. There is nothing inevitable, even about the process, and even the final stages, that leads to the Second Death.

Now, if a lifestream does not make the decision to change and therefore is erased in the Second Death, then the karma of that lifestream is also erased by the ascended masters who have an upward momentum. In other words, there are so many beings in the ascended realm that have such an upward momentum that it is really not a very big step for them to erase the karma of a lifestream that has gone through the Second Death. You may look at a lifestream, such as Hitler, who made tremendous karma in his last embodiment, but earth is just a small planet, and even the greatest amount of karma ever made on earth is very small compared to the positive momentum of many ascended beings.

The transition to democracy in Kazakhstan

Question: We fear the situation in our country, Kazakhstan. We understand that the time of our respectable ruler, our President, is coming to an end, because of his age. Many people fear what the future of the country will be. What can we do as a Christ involvement as a people who want to be part of our country, society and region, to help change the system without any revolutions or changes with violence, without fighting between national groups.

Answer from Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels.

One of the reasons why we encourage the transition to democracy worldwide is precisely that if a country has a very strong leader, then there will always be a power vacuum when that leader can no longer govern as, of course, time respects no man and therefore time eventually runs out for everyone. What you have in Kazakhstan is a situation where you do not have as many factions that are opposing each other as you see in many other nations. You will, for example, see in Iraq where Sunni and Shia Muslims and the Kurds form three very powerful blocks that all vie for power.

Because of the nature of the Kazakh people and their peace flame and their tolerance, you do not run the same risk here. Certainly, there will always be groups who will seek for any opportunity to take power. You, as the spiritual people, can envision and hold the vision that your President, while he has time, will institute and set in motion the change to a democratically elected government.

This is, of course, the vision that we of the ascended masters hold for Kazakhstan, as we do for most other nations on earth. It is realistic that the change can happen without any revolution or even major bloodshed. This is the vision that you can hold as the spiritual people. You can also hold the vision, of course, that more and more people in Kazakhstan will step up to what Saint Germain talked about, the level of Christ consciousness that allows them to be the open doors for the ideas and even for taking the actions that will facilitate a peaceful transition into a more democratic society. I can assure you that there are already people in the government who are wrestling with the very same question, including the President himself.

Thus, you can hold the vision that those who are the more balanced people will catch the highest possible vision of how this transition can take place. You can also hold the vision that those who are not yet part of the government will be awakened to step in and fulfill their roles so that this nation can build on its upward spiral and work towards greater prosperity for everyone by sharing the wealth from the natural resources, so that they do not go to an elite and so that they do not go to foreign companies.

You can, of course, also hold the vision and you can make the calls for the protection of the integrity of the nation from foreign interests. With that I, of course, include the big neighbor to the North, the big neighbor to the South, but also the international corporations and financial interests that are always seeking for an inroad into any nation, especially when that nation has great natural resources.

You must, though, understand that in any nation the consciousness of the people must be allowed to outplay itself so that the people can have an opportunity to see why they had the leader they had and why they may have difficulties making the transition to a more democratic system.

You will notice, when you look back at Europe for example, that you had many countries that had a very old history and they struggled to make a peaceful transition into a more democratic system. What is happening now both in Kazakhstan and in many other nations, especially the former Soviet Republics, is that after having been under the Soviet Union for so many years, they now are facing the situation of having to make the transition into a more democratic form of government much more quickly than the older nations or the nations of Europe.

This, of course, creates a very complex situation where you have the main concern being: “Are there enough people who can step up and provide a new form of government to replace the old one without these people forming a new elite to replace the old elite, as you for example saw in France and several other nations?” It is clear, of course, that when you have a ruler as you have had in this nation, there will be a certain elite forming around him. You need to hold the vision that the more balanced people in the government will prevent that another elite takes over and seeks to create a system where the people do not have freedom to choose their own representatives. This is something you can make calls for in your decrees and rosaries, and you can hold the vision as well.
