What causes psychosis?

Question: During college, I picked the wrong major that was too stressful and experienced dating troubles. After graduating from college, I experienced some episodes of psychosis. What causes psychosis? The physical brain gets messed up, but does psychosis also involve the emotional, mental, and identity bodies?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 USA Conference.

Any psychological condition involves all of the four lower bodies. For that matter, you could say any condition on Earth involves all four levels of the material universe and of the mind. It is just that science, because of the materialistic paradigm, is not willing to look beyond the purely physical. Therefore, they have to find an explanation in the brain and a remedy that works on the brain.

Psychosis, as it is currently diagnosed, can really be understood as your emotional, mental, and identity body being too open. You do not have enough discernment to filter the impulses coming to you from the world and from the spiritual realm. You get overwhelmed and cannot function in your normal life because either your mind is very scattered, or you are attuned to some different reality or realm. Therefore, you cannot really take your physical life seriously; you cannot really engage in life and have to withdraw because “it is all too much” or “it seems unreal.”

Because science, again, does not acknowledge anything beyond, they have to look at this as some kind of abnormality. You can say that the basis for this is really sensitivity, but as with everything else, things can become unbalanced so that you are too sensitive.

There are many people who have attempted to have spiritual experiences and connect to something, whether it be in the emotional, mental, identity, or spiritual realm. They have succeeded in connecting to something, but their connection has been unfiltered and unbalanced, so they have been overwhelmed by the impressions they get. This primarily relates to connecting to the three lower realms, because we of the ascended masters, when we see someone is unbalanced, will withdraw from them so as not to magnify the condition. But the forces in the identity, mental, or emotional realm will not withdraw; they will take as much energy from you as you will allow them to take.

This is one reason why you can say it is actually a good thing to be able to connect to something beyond the physical realm. However, if it becomes too overwhelming and you cannot function in your daily life, it can impact your Divine plan, because your Divine plan is to do something at the physical level, not to get out of here while you are still in embodiment. Your Divine plan may involve your ascension eventually, but in order to qualify for your ascension, you have to be able to function in daily life. There are people who are so eager to have spiritual experiences that they ignore everyday life, and that is an unbalanced approach to spirituality.

The other form of sensitivity you can have is that you are too sensitive, not to something higher than you, but to something lower: lower consciousness, the astral plane, or dark forces that have too much of an inroad into your consciousness. Again, this is because you are sensitive without having a filter.

All that materialistic science can do is to reason that “this is abnormal brain activity, the brain is running too fast.” So, if they slow it down with medication, then the person can at least function in their daily lives. But this, of course, is not the ultimate solution, although it can be necessary for some people.

You can achieve a lot by invoking spiritual protection, by invoking Astrea to cut you free. But ultimately, you need to look at the psychology of what your beliefs are about yourself, about other realms, about the possibility of connecting. What are your beliefs about your daily life? Do you find your daily life too overwhelming, so you are seeking an escape? Is your daily life, for example, too stressful, too much for you to handle? Have you taken on too much? You might need to use the wisdom of the Mother to say: “I am going to slow down; I am going to select out certain activities that are too much for me and focus more narrowly.” But ultimately, you need to resolve the psychology that allows these other forces to pull on you.

This also revolves around making a decision. For example, this messenger has explained how when he was 19 years old, he had an out-of-body experience where he was taken out of his body, went into a golden light, and then came back into his body with great force. He interpreted this to mean that he is not meant to have spiritual experiences while he is in a physical body; he is meant to do something in this world and therefore focus on this world instead of seeking to get away from this world or get some higher experience. You also need to consider whether you have decided to escape because everyday life seems too overwhelming.

The rest of the question revolves around whether the person can stop taking anti-psychotic medication at some point because there are side effects, and the question is also whether this impacts the person’s ability to tune in.

The effect of the medication is to slow down brain activity. But you see, you are not connecting to your higher self and your ascended masters through the brain; you are connecting by going beyond the brain. From a theoretical perspective, the medication does not hinder your ability to do this, but it can have the effect of lowering your ability to disconnect from the brain, to go beyond the brain.

But as I just said, it could be that part of the problem is that you want to go beyond the physical; you want to get away from the physical, and you are hoping for some kind of escape. This is again a matter of looking at the psychology. If you came to a point where you had resolved the psychology and you had increased your discernment, then it is possible to get off the medication. But be very careful here; I am not telling you to do this right now. You need to look at this very carefully; you need to consult a physician; you need to gradually step down the medication over a period of time and see what the effects are on your ability to function in daily life.

What I am really saying here is that you need to focus on your ability to function in life and not impair that ability, whether it is through medication or through unbalanced spiritual activity. I am talking in general, of course. There is a balance to be found here, and there are many spiritual people who are approaching spirituality in an unbalanced way that can lead to various symptoms. Again, we can say that psychosis is really an unbalanced reaction to life, and when you find balance, you will no longer need the medication. But you have to be careful and not think you have that balance before you have resolved enough psychology. I think that covers it.

A jackrabbit start

Question: This is a question about car accidents of sudden acceleration, a jackrabbit start. As most cars, even electric cars, are equipped with electronic control units, people who are caught in sudden acceleration accidents are occasionally seen on the news. These accidents are often impossible to reproduce, and the current legal system which requires consumers to identify the cause of sudden acceleration in order to receive compensation is causing many problems. I wonder if these accidents are caused by simple design defects or if they are caused by attacks from dark forces that cause abnormalities in electronic equipment like poltergeist phenomena.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

You need to look primarily for mechanical malfunctions in the cars to explain such events. However, there can be rare instances where the driver is actually causing this without being consciously aware of it. This can also be a factor, and in some cases the driver can be influenced by dark forces to cause this phenomenon.

But there is of course, no easy solution when you have a problem that cannot be reproduced. If society was to recognize this, then it would very easily open up for people who, due to inattentive driving, cause an accident to say: “Oh, I do not know what happened. My car just accelerated and caused the accident.” You see the difficulty that society has in dealing with such a phenomenon.

Resistance towards alternative methods for healing severely handicapped children

Question: In South Korea there has been a recent increase in the number of children born and growing up with a predisposition to mental illness such as autism and violent ADHD. In order to improve this, many innovative teachers are developing ideas, creatively challenging and experimenting, and making valuable advances in the emotional development of children. But parents still do not trust teachers having not moved on from the old authoritarian teacher image and government departments, ministries of education, school boards, are not interested in and supportive of these individual teacher efforts that have nothing to do with immediate results or performance. Instead, teachers are overwhelmed with administrative tasks that prevent them from giving their full attention to the most important goal of schooling, educating and caring for children. They are also exhausted and demoralized by the inability to get the minimum protection or action required from the government in various conflicts with parents, children and teachers that may arise in their work. As a teacher seeking inner spiritual growth, I am not sure how to teach and cope in the midst of this literal School of Hard Knocks. Am I doubting Jesus who said: “With God all things are possible?” And how can I be a teacher without engaging in the free will of them: children, parents, principals, assistant principals, administrators, etc.?

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

You need to recognize here that my statement that “With God all things are possible” is not a complete understanding. It is not even a complete quote of what I actually said back then. But even back then I did not give the higher understanding that you have today about the importance of free will.

No, on planet Earth where free will reigns supreme and where so many people are trapped in duality, not all things are possible with God, at least if you look at the outer things. What you can do is take this statement symbolically and realize that if you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, meaning the Christ consciousness, then all things in your own mind are possible.

But when it comes to activities that involve the free will of other people, then not all things are possible. Now you can of course as a teacher look at this as an opportunity to expose your subconscious selves and work on them. You can also make the calls for your own protection, for the protection of the children and the people you deal with at your work. When you are interacting with other people, such as parents, you can make the call to the I AM Presence of the other person to give them a higher vision of how to deal with the situation. But you also need to ask yourself once in a while if you actually want to be a teacher or if there are other things that are part of your Divine plan. I am not hereby telling you what to choose but just to be open to an intuitive connection to your Divine plan.

In terms of teachers developing alternative methods to dealing with these severely handicapped children, then this is something you can make the calls for and you can in certain contexts speak out about it. It is clear that there is much innovation going on, not just in South Korea but in other nations because many nations realize there is a problem. And the problem is, as we have said before, that there are so many people on earth who have been traumatized by war and other atrocities in past lifetimes that they are seeking healing in this lifetime. And these children will seek embodiment in countries where they have at least some opportunity to receive healing.

There are people, children being embodied in South Korea now, who were traumatized by the Korean War, even though it is many years ago. Some of them have not dared to come into embodiment until now. And there are people who were in North Korea at the time of the war who are now embodying as children in South Korea because they have a better chance of receiving healing here. But it is a general trend in many affluent nations that they are seeing more psychologically handicapped or challenged children precisely because, as I said, they have a better opportunity to receive healing in such societies or at least have an upbringing that does not increase their problems.

How to work with possessed psychiatric patients

Question: I work at a psychiatric hospital where I mainly treat patients with schizophrenia and severe alcohol abuse, as well as those suffering from major depression accompanied by suicidal ideation, I guess you could say tendencies. Sometimes when I see these patients, I feel as though certain astral forces with harmful intent are using the patients to observe me, communicate with me, or even attempt to attack me. These experiences seem to have a negative impact on me emotionally and mentally. In this situation, if I continue to practice decrees and invocations with patients, while working to dissolve the subconscious selves within me that make me vulnerable to such attacks, do you think I may eventually become unaffected by their influence?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Yes, you will certainly make some progress by making the calls for protection, making the calls to Astrea to cut you free from any ties to your patients or these forces.

You will make progress by seeking to resolve your own psychology that causes you to react to these forces. But beyond that, you also need to make some conscious decisions. First of all, you can make the decision that you will not react to these forces, that you will not engage them or seek to communicate with them. If you discern that a patient is possessed by a force from the emotional realm, then you can refuse to communicate with the patient. What good does it do the patient to communicate with an external entity that has taken over the person’s mind? And what good does it do the entity because you will most likely not convince it of anything?

I know very well that there are certain healers in the alternative healing profession or certain psychics who will say that if you talk to these entities, you can persuade them to stop doing what they are doing. But this is in most cases not correct. It can be correct for discarnate souls who have not been able to move on and who have attached themselves to a certain person. Such beings are self-aware beings and you can talk to them and help them move on. But an entity from the astral plane, a demon from the astral plane, you should not attempt to convince them of anything unless you have a very high level of Christ discernment and if you did, you would not ask for my advice. You need to make the conscious decision here not to engage them and then they are more likely to leave you alone. They may still try and that is why you need to work on the psychology so you do not react. But you simply need to make the decision not to engage such beings.

Physical symptoms of severe anxiety

Question: I have had a timid personality since I was young, and I have persistent symptoms of obsessive disorder, such as blinking my eyes or moving my fingers whenever I think, anxiety and severe muscle tension in the right side of my body from back to leg. I experience this releasing when I continue to meditate and feel connected, but I still feel tense often. I especially feel severely intimidated by the feeling of not being accepted by people, being discriminated against, or feeling like I have no Presence. Please give me some advice on this.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, the symptoms you are describing are all coming from subconscious selves. I know you would like to have a specific personalized advice, but the best advice I can give you is to take the teachings about the subconscious selves, about healing your spiritual traumas, and the teachings we gave on healing the four lower bodies, and apply them, and be willing to look deeply into your psychology because this comes from past lives, and traumas received in past lives, going all the way back to your cosmic birth trauma. You need to be willing to look deep, but if you are willing to apply the teachings, you can, over some time, make significant progress in healing these conditions.

What is a lifestream?

Question: What is the meaning of the lifestream? What kind of beings are included in the lifestream? Are animals, plants and microorganisms also included in the lifestream? And is the lifestream continuously being created? Can the lifestream die forever?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

You are using the word lifestream in a broader context than we normally do in our teachings. We use the word lifestream to refer to an individual self-aware being, such as the I AM Presence and the Conscious You. Therefore, there are no other beings included in the lifestream, unless you talk about subconscious selves that the Conscious You has created in the four lower bodies and see these as beings that are part of the lifestream. But they are not self-aware beings.

Is the lifestream continuously created? No. But there are, of course, a certain continuation of the creation of new lifestreams. Your lifestream is not continuously created, but it can of course, continually transcend itself and therefore, in a sense, be recreated. Can the lifestream die forever? The I AM Presence cannot. The Conscious You can go through the second death, as we have described.

How to heal my body after a damaging childhood

Question: What steps do I need to take as a spiritual student to reverse the cells in my physical body that have been damaged during birth due to causes such as genetic diseases, damage to the liver due to pregnancy, poisoning, strong stress from the mother, etc.? Also, what are the ways to overcome the brain’s inactivated functions due to lack of emotional support in early childhood after birth, the over-education that I received before my emotions were developed and the resulting decrease in cognitive and concentration functions? I have felt that I have had problems with my learning functions since childhood and I find it disturbing to continue to carry this low function with me. Please suggest a way for me to overcome it.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, as I have said, we have given quite extensive teachings on how you can heal your physical body and also heal your emotional, mental and identity bodies at the conference in Estonia. Take those teachings, study them and see where that takes you. Naturally, you can also realize that when you had a stressful time in the womb, a stressful childhood, you have created these subconscious selves to deal with this situation and you of course, probably carry some with you from past lives. You can use the tools and teachings for how to overcome those and when you have applied these teachings, you will have attained some healing and therefore, you can be able to tune in intuitively to your higher self and to us and see what further steps you can take.

There is not a magic wand that I can give you that will instantly remove these problems. It is a long process, but if you are willing to apply yourself, then you can make significant progress in this embodiment.

Basic psychological education for young children

Question: There are many instances in which children are not able to protect themselves during their upbringing, especially psychologically. If children grow up with parents who are always fighting, moody, destructive or irresponsible, they are likely to be psychologically unable to defend themselves. We need to have a national protection system for this or at least provide psychological education at the early childhood level to help them learn how to defend themselves. What can we do to ensure that basic psychological education and psychotherapy for young children is within reach?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, that depends on your background and your position in society. If you have some expertise in education and experience with the field of bringing up children, educating children or the field of psychology, you can use that to advocate for this in society. Otherwise, you can use the ascended master tools, the invocations and decrees to call for a shift in the collective consciousness. There are certainly countries that have started shifting into realizing the simple reality that we have mentioned before, that it is illogical that a modern society educates children in practical skills but does not educate them in the one area that affects every aspect of their lives, namely their psyche.

Again, you can do whatever you can to promote this idea and you can make the calls for it so that people will be able to grasp it and see that it is obvious. You can especially make calls for those who are what we have sometimes called the decision makers in the field so that this can break through at the higher levels of society.

Fear of getting ill

Question: I was seriously ill once and now I am well cured but I feel fearful for my health. I know that the body and mind are closely related. And after learning this, whenever I am sick, I think about what kind of mind I can do to get rid of this disease. Is this resistance to my pain? I think so. When I am sick, I wonder how I can accept the condition as it is and how I treat my sick body in relation to my mind.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, we have given many teachings on this, especially at the conference in Estonia about deep healing. I refer you to those teachings because we talk much more there about the connection between the mind and the body. What you can do is realize that most people on earth have several subconscious selves relating to this fear of getting ill or the fear of dying. You can use our tools to work on these and discover what they are for you individually and then let them go.

Plasma technology and free energy

Question: In an effort to discover new energy sources, scientists are working to realize artificial suns based on nuclear fusion reactions. However, artificial suns operate at high temperatures and high pressures, making them unsuitable for the concept of gridless, portable free energy. Instead of the ultra-high temperature of plasma produced by artificial suns, plasma technologies that operate at low temperatures and low pressures are widely used in the semiconductor industry. Recently, plasma technologies operating at atmospheric pressure have also been commercialized. Atmospheric plasma has the advantage of being able to operate on individual handheld devices. Since plasma is a state that contains subatoms, atoms and molecules, I think it is a technology that can form an energy portal through the three octaves of ether, mental and emotional. I would like to ask St. Germain if plasma technology can be one way to realize free energy. I also have a question about what specific requests the ascended master students can make regarding free energy manifestation.

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, both the fusion technology and plasma technology are valid paths to pursue at this point. None of them are really the free energy that I am ideally envisioning will become available in the not-too-distant future because as I have explained before, this is based on recognizing that there is a natural flow of energy from the spiritual into the identity, mental, emotional and then into the physical. And that this can be harnessed to provide mechanical, physical work that can produce electricity and perform other functions.

It is valid at this point to research all kinds of alternative energy because this helps move science forward, it helps elevate the collective consciousness. As I have said before, one of the major problems to the release of free energy is people’s ability to accept that this is possible. I am not only talking about scientists or leaders or business people, but even the population at large.

The calls you can make on this is to raising the collective consciousness so that people from all areas of society will be able to accept the reality of free energy.

Other spiritual tools that help with ascension

Question: Are there other spiritual ascension tools besides decrees given by the ascended masters?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Yes, there are, of course, other tools, otherwise none of us would have made our ascension before the foundation of the I AM movement. But you realize that what we are giving now are, in our view, the most efficient tools for making your ascension in this age. Why would we introduce others? It is not just the decrees that are our tools. The primary tool we have given is actually the resolution of psychology by overcoming the subconscious selves. Are there other tools out there that can help you grow towards your ascension? Yes, of course. But if you do not feel that our teachings are enough, then use your intuition or simply experiment to find tools that are more suited for you.

Level of consciousness of Tibetan Rinpoches

Question: What are the spiritual level of Tibetan Buddhist Rinpoches and their problems?

Answer from the Ascended Master Gautama Buddha through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Tibetan Buddhism started, as you probably know, with a valid enough foundation. However, it has, as most spiritual movements do over time, deviated from the original and from my original teachings and become too trapped, you might say, in rituals and dogmas. It has become a closed system. And therefore, in general, there are individual exceptions, but in general, the practitioners, even the leaders, do not have a particularly high level of consciousness.

The Dalai Lama’s role is, of course, to lead this movement from abroad, while at the same time trying to reform it according to his vision, because he realizes that it cannot continue as it is.

TV series and movies with low content

Question: If I change my perception filter, when I watch movies on TV or the internet, watch daily dramas, war movies or action movies with cartoons or novels, can I filter lower vibrational energy out?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

It is very easy to prevent your mind from taking in lower content from many movies and TV programs. Does your remote control have an off button?

It is of course, a more realistic view here that as you increase your discernment, you become better at not taking in lower information or lower energies. But as you increase your discernment, you will also choose that there are certain programs you just will not watch because you experience that they lower your energies.

Again, we have given the tool that you tune into your heart chakra and you see whether it lowers or raises your energies and you can apply that to TV programs and movies.

You can of course make calls for protection, make calls to Astrea to cut you free, but if you continue to watch these programs while having to make the calls, then that is sort of a misuse of the decrees and invocations. We are the ascended masters. We are dedicated to helping you grow. We are not really garbage collectors. And so, I would recommend that you become more selective in what you watch so that you simply do not take that information in, in the first place.

Qi energy healing

Question: Among the practice groups, there is a group that studies Qi energy healing. When I share Qi energy with someone, I can feel their painful parts of bodies. Sometimes after I share Qi energy, I have severe phlegm and body aches. Can I continue studying Qi practices?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, you can certainly continue studying it if you then at the same time use ascended master teachings to first of all invoke protection from taking on people’s energies, but also shifting your mindset so that you do not take on energies beyond what is in accordance with the Christ discernment.

There are various health practitioners from all kinds of systems who have this desire, which is an ego-based desire to heal other people, and therefore, see physical results. And they are willing, whether they are conscious of this or not, to take on people’s energies in order to see a physical result. And this can cause many of these practitioners to take on so much energy that it actually burdens them. It can also in many cases have the effect that the people who are now free of this energy are not using the opportunity to grow. They just continue living their lives the way they want until they again become burdened by energy.

There can be instances where it is appropriate according to the Christ vision to take on people’s energies. But in most cases, it is not appropriate. It will hinder the growth of the person and it will hinder your growth. Therefore, you can take our teachings about the subconscious selves and how to expose them and see what selves you have in relation to your desire to heal other people so that you overcome this desire to help others by taking on what is not really yours to take on because it is their energy, their karma, and they will only learn from experiencing the effects that this has on their lives.

Spiritual perspective on a work dilemma

Question: I recently discovered that a highly arrogant snake-like individual currently holds an executive position at the company I am applying to. The CEO’s vision centers on contributing to society, and based on performance, promotion to an executive role is possible within two months. My goal is to join this company and contribute to emotional healing by integrating psychology, sadhu, Eastern Four Pillars, AI, data and social media. However, due to the executive’s desire to maintain his power and sense of superiority, I believe he would resort to any means to distort my intentions and undermine my efforts. Without a contract that guarantees a transition to an executive position from the beginning, my ability to contribute meaningfully could be delayed due to his resistance. According to Sasu analysis, 2025 is symbolically considered the year of the snake, and it is likely that this person will not leave the company until around 2027. I would like some advice on whether I should let the person resign on his own, or whether I should take steps to get him to resign on his own, or whether it would be better to just leave him alone.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, it depends on what your priorities are in life. If your priority is your own growth towards Christ Consciousness, then that is different than if your priority is to achieve the outer goals you describe. You could say that if your priorities are to attain Christ Consciousness, all three of the solutions you propose could work. If your priority is to achieve outer goals, none of the three are likely to work, because the two first ones would create frustration, and the last one would of course make it impossible for you to achieve those goals, at least through that company.

You can look at this as a learning experience, and you could admit to yourself that you are not fully mature and fully capable of doing the best you can do, and therefore, you could look at your engagement with the company as a learning process that gives you an opportunity to look at your own psychology by seeing the reactions to this person. And therefore, whether you leave him to resign on his own, or take steps, it gives you the opportunity to look at your reaction.

But you can also step back and look at: Why do you feel so disturbed by this person? Why are you projecting onto the person that he will do something that he has not yet done? Could there be another approach by overcoming the subconscious selves that cause your current reaction?

Buddhahood among Buddhist monks

Question: The Buddhist order formed by the teachings of the Buddha 2,500 years ago had many devoted practitioners and believers, especially in various parts of Asia until today. Are there any beings among them who have attained Christ Consciousness and ascended or attained the Buddha Consciousness? If so, please let me know in which era and region it was located and what kind of representative being it was.

Answer from the Ascended Master Gautama Buddha through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

There are certainly beings who have attained Christhood and even Buddhahood. But most of these are not known to the public because they withdrew from society at large. Some of them did not even become teachers, but still appeared as ordinary monks for the rest of their lifetime so it is not really necessary for me to give you their specific names. I also cannot do this through this messenger because he does not have enough outer knowledge of the different Buddhist orders that I can bring forth the knowledge through his mind.

But as I said, it is good to know that some people have attained this, but it is also good to know that it is not that many, partly because the focus of the Buddhist orders has not really been on bringing people to the level of Buddhahood, partly because there is still some idolatry of the Buddha, or rather there has been from the very beginning.

If you have any kind of spiritual movement that idolizes the founder, then it is not as likely that the followers will attain the same level of consciousness as the founder. They will find various reasons, various excuses for not rising to that level of consciousness. And of course, you could say that idolatry of a teacher is in its essence an excuse for the followers not striving for the same level of consciousness, but settling for a lower level in this lifetime, believing that they will make it to the goal after this lifetime, which of course cannot be done.

Feeling pressure to go back to work

Question: When I was working, I often ran out of energy after work, leaving little energy to take care of my little son. I took two years off, and this is when I learned the teachings of the ascended masters. I do not want to go back to work because I do not have enough energy to raise my son while working and also study spirituality. Since my husband’s income is enough to live, I want to focus on my spiritual path in my spare time after doing housework and taking care of my son, who is eight years old. But will this be simply an escape from reality? I have a feeling that it is not enough for me to just stay at home and take care of my son, but I also do not want to be stressed out at work. However, I still feel psychological pressure to return to work.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, certainly if you have the opportunity to not work but to focus on your son and your spiritual growth, why not take that opportunity? You do not have to decide that this needs to be a permanent thing that lasts until your son is grown. You can just take it as an experiment that you do for a certain time without deciding how long that should be, and then use your intuition to tune in when it is time to go back to work. You need to recognize that when you feel pressure to go back to work, that is not really the kind of prompting that comes from your Divine plan.

Your Divine plan will be more of a silent or calm inner voice urging you to go back to work. This pressure, therefore, most likely comes from these subconscious selves that you have acquired during your upbringing or you may have carried from past lives that says: “You should go back to work. You should be at work.” Use our tools and teaching to discover those selves and overcome them. And then when you come to a point where you can be at home and be at peace about that, and then you start to once in a while go into a new state of mind and listen to your intuition, you may at some point get the impulse from within that now it is time to go back to work, but then you do not have any pressure.

And also, you can take the opportunity to consider: why do you feel stressed out at work? Why does it drain your energy so you do not have energy left over when you come home? This is again subconscious selves. If you spend the time you have off to work on this psychological aspect, you can at some point in the future return back to work without being so stressed about it.

Needed changes in the educational system in Korea

Question: I have a question about education in Korea. As in other fields, there are many high barriers to break through. The obsession and selfishness of Korean parents in particular is considered to be one of the most insurmountable challenges, and the problem is that there is no basic system in place to limit the outrageous demands that parents make on teachers even when they interfere with educational activities. It is not uncommon for schools to abuse the Child Abuse Act to harass teachers, leading them to take their own lives after being bullied to the point of suicide. Just a few days ago, another teacher in Jeju Island chose this unfortunate path. However, there are still no effective changes to the law to protect teachers in their educational endeavors. Is it because teachers’ basic political rights, such as freedom of expression, are so limited in South Korea that they are off the radar of politicians who are too focused on getting votes? How many teachers have to lose their lives before this unbalanced education reality changes? What is the urgent need for Korean education to move toward a golden age of public education that will provide great opportunities and foundations for developing a sense of community, solidarity, civic citizenship, and universal spirituality?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

The problem that you are describing is not unique to Korea. There are many nations, even many of the democratic nations, where teachers are not appreciated. They are often not paid very well and generally not looked at as having any position in society. This is, of course, just one of the many things that need to change before education can move into the golden age mindset. But the primary thing that really needs to break through is that you realize that education cannot be just about the child acquiring knowledge. It is a matter of educating the whole child to become a wholesome person who can function in society. And the current competitive climate not only in Korea, but also in other nations, is not helpful to that development at all.

This is a shift that you can make the calls for, but it will take some time for this to happen. And it will actually happen when nations like Korea begin to see that there are other nations that have a different focus of the educational system and that actually it functions better for everybody than the current Korean system. And it will also change when parents become aware that bringing up their child to be a high achiever in society and getting a high-paid job does not necessarily make them happy and fulfilled people as adults.

The current situation is based on what we have talked about before: when you see that your parents or grandparents grew up in great poverty, you want to do better for yourself. You especially want to do better for your children. And therefore, you think that the only way for your children to do as well as possible is to push them into achieving as much as possible in the educational system, where the achievement in the system and the ability to move on to higher education and get a high-paying job is more important than their happiness and well-being.

But this will change, and certainly the younger generation will change it, because many of them will not want to bring up their children the same way that they were brought up. And this also means that they will make different demands on the educational system. Of course, you also need to recognize here that just as the children are human beings, the teachers are also human beings. And of course, there needs to be a growing social awareness where parents realize that it is not just about their child, because part of being a successful person even in the business world is to be able to cooperate with others. And you cannot do that if you are brought up to only think about yourself as an individual.

The I AM Presence and the lesson of free will

Question: I have a question regarding the teaching given in Sanat Kumara’s dictation at the Netherlands conference about the Conscious You descending to earth. It was explained that when the enigma of free will is not resolved by the I AM Presence, and also not resolved by the Conscious You, then the existing Conscious You from a natural planet descends on earth. But if the Conscious You does resolve the enigma, then the I AM Presence creates a new Conscious You based on its own perspective on earth and the pain associated with earth. This newly created self, therefore, descends with a particular viewpoint about earth. In that case, does the previously existing Conscious You from a natural planet descend with less or no particular viewpoint about earth compared to the newly created one? And two, compared to a newly created Conscious You, does the Conscious You from a natural planet carry not only memories of the natural planet, but also more of the selves it had created there, meaning the subconscious selves through which it experienced life on that planet? It was said that the reason avatars could not ascend from their natural planets was because their I AM Presences failed to resolve the enigma of free will. If the same happens on earth, meaning the Conscious You resolves the enigma, but the I AM Presence again fails to integrate the learning and resolve it, does that mean the inability to ascend could be repeated here as well?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Question 1: Does the previously existing Conscious You from a natural planet descend?

No, the previously created Conscious You that resolved the enigma does not descend to earth. If the I AM Presence has not resolved the enigma, then a new Conscious You is created. The previous one is reintegrated with the I AM Presence. Now, what the newly created Conscious You can do is it can tune in to the lessons that the previous Conscious You learned that are integrated in the causal body. Therefore, it can more quickly come to resolve the enigma on earth and thereby help the I AM Presence resolve the enigma.

Question 2: Compared to a newly created Conscious You, does the Conscious You from a natural planet carry not only memories of the natural planet, but also more of the self?

The answer is no, because the Conscious You, the previous Conscious You from the natural planet, does not descend to earth and therefore, does not carry anything.

Question 3: Is that if the I AM Presence failed to resolve the enigma of free will, then the avatars could not ascend from their natural planets, and could that be repeated on an unnatural planet?

Yes, it can, and it is possible that an I AM Presence, even after sending a Conscious You to an unnatural planet, does not yet resolve the enigma, but it is very rare that this happens. But it can certainly happen and then there may be a need to send the Conscious You that descended to an unnatural planet, to another unnatural planet or to create a new Conscious You that goes to another unnatural planet. But it is very rare.

Women as a driving force for change in relationships

Question: I do most of the housework, and my husband tries to help me when I tell him. But he thinks I am the main person in the household. My parents showed a more severe imbalance, and I often dealt with it emotionally. I know this is a judgmental eye of mine that wants to make the other person’s ego perfect, but I think it contains a patriarchal problem that has persisted in Korea for a long time. This time we talked and decided on each other’s roles, and I tried to process my emotions as much as possible, but I feel like I became somewhat emotional. Since then, I keep thinking that this is my ego’s frame of judgment, and I should have focused on breaking it. I would like to get a multifaceted perspective on this matter. Please give me some advice.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

When you look at Korean society as we have talked about before, it is clear that the role of men and women will be changing, gradually over time, but not a long period of time, because many young people are not willing to play these roles, neither men nor women. Naturally, these roles will be softened up. Now, the question is, who, in a relationship, is willing or capable of changing? Often it is the woman who is willing to change, partly because they carry the biggest burden, partly because they are more open to personal and spiritual growth. If you have already had a conversation with your husband, then you need to look at yourself and your reaction. I am not saying that your husband does not need to change, but I am saying that you, as the woman who is more open to change, need to look at yourself, your own reactions.

We have given the tools of how to expose the subconscious selves and let them die. If you can use this situation to look at your view of what it means to be a woman, your view of what it means to be a man, and work on your emotional reactionary patterns to this that may indeed come from many past lifetimes, then you can make spiritual progress. What will happen when you do, is that you will begin to see something about the situation that you cannot see right now, because the selves that are causing you to act are blocking your vision.

This means you can now get a stronger intuition for what could potentially change in the environment, in the relationship. That means you can now have a talk with your husband that is at a higher level than what you are capable of having right now. This may mean that your husband will then be able to respond more positively, and therefore, perhaps change. Now, it is possible that your husband will choose not to change, and then you need to make the decision of whether you will live with that, or whether you will consider leaving the relationship.

But again, as you overcome the reactionary patterns in yourself, you can make a more neutral decision about this that is guided by your intuition, and not your outer mind and these reactionary selves. I know, it is not much comfort that you are the one who has to change, but the reality in most relationships is that the woman is the one who is more open to change. Therefore, if change is going to happen, who is going to drive it? The one who is more open to change, or the one who is more closed?

Therefore, you can simply realize that if the relationship is going to change, you are the one who is going to have to drive the change. That starts with changing yourself.

How to transcend expectations of what should or should not happen

Question: I realize that as I go through my life, I tend to believe that the world will unfold according to my subconscious expectations or conceptual mindset. Although I make a conscious effort not to think this way, I often end up disappointed because of those expectations. Is it wrong to have expectations in my life? How can I transcend them?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

It is not necessarily wrong to have expectations, but most expectations that people have are based on subconscious selves that spring from the sense of separation. Most people have expectations that you, as a separate being, should achieve some result, some outer situation, and that, of course, will tie you to that subconscious self. It will often set you up even for a lifetime of disappointment and frustration when your expectations are not met. In many cases, in most cases, the expectations of these subconscious selves are simply not realistic, so they will not be met.

You can have some expectations that are not based on dualistic selves, but based on the selves from the 48th to the 144th level of consciousness. But even those selves, you will, of course, transcend as you rise higher on the path. That means that you can come to that point that Nada talked about where you are at peace because you have no more selves that have expectations of what should or should not happen. This is the ultimate way to escape suffering. You could say that at the higher levels of awareness, you will have no expectations. Certainly, you will not be attached to whether any expectation you have is fulfilled or not.

Attachment to a deceased family member

Question: I am a mother of two sons. My husband passed away in an accident at work a few years ago. I have been working alone and proceeding with a trial related to my husband’s death and almost everything was completed in March of this year. The children will have to go to college. My deceased husband seems to have been connected to me since the accident. I have no one to rely on and I am doing well on my own. I want to continue to be with my deceased husband. I wonder if this is my obsession with him or if my family members are avatars. I want to hear advice from Mother Mary or Jesus about the direction I should take in the future. Also, is there a way for me to go spiritually instead of decrees in my busy daily life?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, as we have said many times, we will not tell people what to do with their lives from an outer source. We will work with people individually to give you intuitive insights. But this, in order to receive them, requires a certain resolution of psychology. What I will comment on here is your desire to stay with your deceased husband. This is not a constructive desire for your spiritual growth. Your husband is out of embodiment. He needs to move on to the right level where he can receive help and instructions to heal before his next embodiment. You need to let him do this instead of trying to hold on to him. When you seek to hold on to a deceased family member, one of two things will happen. You can prevent the family member from moving on or the family member moves on because that is what they want to do and you attract another discarnate or even a lower entity that you mistake for your deceased family member. Then you start creating an energetic tie to this being which has a lower level of consciousness. You need to let your deceased husband go. You need to let yourself go from any attachment to him. That is how you can take your spiritual growth to a higher level.

Is there a way to grow instead of decrees in your busy daily life? Well, give a few minutes of decrees, even the short decrees that have been used at this conference, the refrain of the decrees. Pick two or three that appeal to you and give them as many times as you have time for. You should have time to give at least three of these short decrees nine times each. That will only take a few minutes. Otherwise, the fastest way to go is, of course, resolution of psychology, but if you are very busy, that may not be a practical possibility for you.

Mother Mary’s vision for the Korean AM community

Question: It has now been a decade since the ascended master students community was first established in Korea. Currently, it is estimated that around 150 students are sincerely studying the teachings delivered through the Messenger Kim Michaels. While there has been a gradual growth in consciousness among students, the number of active members has remained relatively stable with no significant increase or decrease. In recent times, we have also observed that very few students are engaging in meaningful dialogue within the online community and overall activity has become increasingly stagnant. Furthermore, in early 2025, two or three individuals declared themselves to be new messengers of the ascended masters, which has caused some confusion about the identity and direction of the community. The leadership team, the staff of this community is currently reflecting deeply on how best to guide and grow this community both in terms of its spiritual direction and practical approach. Mother Mary, could you kindly share the vision the ascended masters hold for the Korean ascended master student group and offer insights on its future development?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

When you go back and listen to and read the dictations we have already given at this conference, you will see that we have several times given you hints for how you can grow in the Korean community. When you take and apply these, you will see that you will again start having more movement, more growth.

We have of course also said that you cannot be attached to outer results. What I would say at this point is that it is a phenomenon that you see in most spiritual communities that they go through a growth phase and then after some time there is a certain stagnation. This is simply a cycle where you attract certain people to the teachings and then those people need to internalize and implement the teachings. Only when they have done this to a certain level can there be a new growth phase.

I know we sound like we are repeating ourselves, but truly, there is always the need to look at psychology, to look at your psychology, both in the leadership and in the membership of a community. Because you can say that the key to growth is always the resolution of psychology, you can say that the community itself has a certain level of the resolution of psychology and that attracted a certain group of people. In order to attract a new group of people, you need to reach a higher level of resolution of psychology, but you also need to reach that level where you realize that you do not need to be frustrated about not attracting more members. Because what you are doing, even with the numbers you have right now, is having a very significant impact on Korea. I am not saying that it is not our goal that we would like to attract more members. I am saying that you need to be careful you do not stress about this. You need to be willing to recognize that you have done great work already and that you have had a major positive impact on the Korean collective consciousness, and that even if you continued at your current level, you would continue to have a positive impact.

We are not looking to tell you from an outer source. We are looking to tell you through your intuition individually. If you feel like you are not getting the intuition, then apply the teachings about resolving psychology, increasing your intuition, including the teachings we are giving at this conference. You could say when you have the teachings from this conference translated, make an effort to apply them. Get together in groups, talk about how you can apply them. If you sincerely do this, then you will grow as a community.

In terms of other people claiming to be messengers, we do not have any sponsored messengers in Korea. But we do see the pattern again and again, as we have seen in previous dispensations, that there will be times where some will claim that now they are messengers. This is not a unique phenomenon. It happens on a regular basis. In many cases this is driven by people’s individual ambition whereby they contact forces that may not be malevolent, but still the effect of listening to dictations from lower levels and the ascended level is that it can create doubt and division in a community. We do not encourage people to study this at this point. Quite frankly, we encourage you to take the teachings you already have and internalize and apply them and it will give you everything you could want.

Mindfulness and the Conscious You

Question: Is the mindfulness of Buddhism or Sati the Conscious You?

Answer from the Ascended Gautama Buddha through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

There is no yes or no answer. It depends on how the individual practitioners or teachers look at this. There are various interpretations of what mindfulness is, of what no-self is, of what an undifferentiated state of consciousness is, and some have grasped the same idea, although they do not use the same words as what we call the Conscious You. But some have not. They have created a mental image of what it means to have no-self or be mindful or be mindless or have an undifferentiated state of consciousness.

As with everything, some people have a higher vision, some people have a lower vision. Some people have taken the words, interpreted them in a certain way and they now believe they have the highest understanding of this so they are not really open to listening to anything that comes through their intuitive faculties. I will say here in this context that I am an ascended master, the Ascended Master Gautama Buddha. I have been an ascended for 2,500 years. I have watched from the ascended level how Buddhism has developed, fractured into different factions and as Jesus has watched Christianity splinter, we have been willing to work with people and give them intuitive insights that could have avoided not all but certainly many of these splits.

There is a natural way that any teaching can be interpreted from different perspectives and people can focus on different aspects of the teachings and that is perfectly fine as long as they do not fall prey to this temptation to think that they have the ultimate interpretation and that all the others are wrong. Once you go into this mindset, you have taken the interpretation of the teaching too far and you have cut yourself off from contact with the teacher and therefore, you are moving further and further away from the original goal of the teaching while of course being convinced that you are moving closer and closer to that goal.

Reasons why avatars came to earth

Question: We know that avatars incarnate on earth for different reasons. We know that some lifestreams incarnate to maintain balance with fallen beings, while others come down to have dualistic experiences that can only be had on unnatural planets. If it is true that avatars incarnate on earth for different purposes, what accounts for these differences in motivation? Is it based on their level of consciousness prior to incarnation? For those lifestreams with higher consciousness, are they allowed to incarnate to protect the balance of the planet? And for those who still need more experience, are they allowed to incarnate for dualistic experiences? I would also appreciate it if you could guide me to a higher perspective from the ascended masters regarding this question.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

You are correct that it is the avatar’s level of consciousness on their natural planet that determines this. Now, there are beings who have incarnated on earth who have come from a natural planet that rose to a higher level, and they could not keep up with this. There are a few that have come from natural planets that have become unnatural planets, but they needed a change of scenery.

We can discuss whether we should call these avatars or not, in the sense that the way we have used the concept of avatars are people who deliberately incarnated here to have a positive impact on earth. In other words, they did not actually incarnate on earth to have a dualistic experience. These are the other lifestreams that I just mentioned. In the pure way that we use the word avatar, it is people who had a high enough level of consciousness that they did not have to incarnate on an unnatural planet, but they chose to do so because they realized it could further their growth and they realized, in some cases, that it could help them learn the lessons about free will that they had not fully learned and integrated on a natural planet.

Yes, you can say that those with a lower consciousness are allowed to incarnate because they can experience duality on earth. Those of a higher consciousness are allowed to incarnate because they can hold the balance for the fallen beings, but it is really, in a deeper reason, because they have the opportunity to then to learn the lesson that they have not really learned, namely that free will must be allowed to outplay itself within very wide boundaries.

We have given our teachings on avatars at different levels where we first gave an introduction and made it seem like all avatars came here just for holding the balance and improving the earth, and later we have given deeper teachings that many avatars came because they had not learned the lesson of free will. Which means that before you came to earth you had a vision of the changes you wanted to bring to earth, but what you were really meant to accomplish by coming to earth was to learn the lesson that you cannot have an opinion about how other self-aware beings should exercise their free will. You cannot judge this. You cannot have an intent that they should not suffer. You cannot have the idea that suffering is wrong.

You see, again, there can be many individual reasons where, when you were at a natural planet and you had reached as far as you could go on that natural planet and you started looking on an unnatural planet, you had individual reasons for deciding: “Ah, I think I could accomplish this. I think I could make these people see why they are suffering because surely, I cannot imagine that they want to suffer”. Many different individual reasons that we have not fully explained because there are so many and really why do we need to explain it, when you need to individually use your intuition, use the process for healing your birth trauma and therefore, going to the point where you can intuitively receive the vision from your I AM Presence of what was your individual decision that caused you to come to earth. Because only when you see it intuitively can you really work on resolving it.

Creation of earth and free energy

Question: When the Elohim gathered to begin the creation of earth, what choices were made and what scope did they have? What are some of the planets that have contrasting characteristics to earth? What does free energy have to do with the selecting factors of earth’s creation? How would the concepts of education, monetary systems, and working jobs be different in the free energy age than they are now? When will the free energy era arrive in Korea?

Answer from the Ascended Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Question 1: When the Elohim gathered to begin the creation of earth, what choices were made and what scope did they have?

Well, it is impossible to tell you exactly what decisions the Elohim made. For the simple reason that you do not have the foundation for understanding this. We could potentially give teachings about this, but it is not really our priority right now as you do not need to understand the choices made. You can get some idea of this by looking at the constants that define the universe, even though those constants do not apply just to earth. But the Elohim of course worked within the parameters defined by these cosmological constants. And you will know that scientists have discovered a number of these, and they realized that if those constants were just slightly different, then the universe would be very different from what you have now.

You see here that there are certain decisions made at the Elohimic level and above where a slight change would lead to a very different universe.

Question 2: What are some of the planets that have contrasting characteristics to earth?

Well, all of the other planets, right? There is no organic carbon-based life form on any of the other planets in your solar system because there is no life form at the physical spectrum. The same applies to many planets throughout the universe.

Question 3: How would the concepts, what does free energy have to do with selecting the factors of earth’s creation?

Well, not really much, because it is built into the basic design of the entire universe that free energy is a possibility. It is a possibility on all planets, simply because the universe is created with the four levels and that energy flows from the spiritual into the identity, into the mental, into the emotional, into the physical. When the beings embody on a planet tune into this flow, then free energy becomes possible.

Question 4: When will that happen in Korea?

Well, it will take time. It will not happen first in Korea, but in other countries. We are, realistically speaking, some breakthroughs can happen in this 12-year cycle, but the widespread implementation of it will take longer.

Question 5: How would education and monetary systems and working jobs be different in a free energy age?

Well, education would have to, of course, help people understand why free energy is possible and how to take advantage of it, how to implement it. Monetary systems, well, they would not necessarily change the systems themselves, but of course the entire business community, the entire approach to business would change dramatically when free energy is available. There are some businesses that are now these huge multinational corporations based on extracting fossil fuels, for example, or other forms of energy that are energy monopolies and they would simply disappear, completely disappear. Other businesses would spring up to create the devices that can take advantage of free energy. Jobs would not necessarily change fundamentally, even though, of course, there would be many new jobs that would come up when free energy is available.

There are suddenly things you can do when you have free energy that you cannot do today because they are not profitable, given the energy cost involved. But when you have free energy, many, many things become possible, and this will create new businesses and many new jobs. Certainly, your jobs will not be made obsolete by AI when we transition into free energy.

President Lee Jae Myung

Question: Kim: There is a question here about Lee Jae Myung. And this was written, did I pronounce that wrong? No? Jae Myung Okay. But this was written before the election. Since he was elected, I am not going to read the whole question. I am just going to give the last part:

Question: I wonder whether Lee Jae Myung may be an embodiment of a higher conscious spiritual being or perhaps even a form of avatar in physical incarnation? I humbly request your insights and perspective on this matter. It also says here before that even though he does know about ascended master’s teachings, he sometimes, his words and policy directions appear to resonate with or even align partially with the vision of the masters. In January 25, Saint Germain mentioned that he is not a fully balanced leader, but he often emphasizes his trust in the collective intelligence of the people and advocates for the gradual implementation of basic income and direct democracy.

Answer from the Ascended Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Basically, what I will say here is that given the current situation in Korea, the people chose the most balanced and suitable leader. This is not to say that I support or endorse him fully, because as I said he is not fully balanced. But then again, which political leader is fully balanced? What we are saying here is that given the current situation and the lessons that the Korean people need to learn, this was the best possible outcome of the election.

Now, this particular candidate is not the only one who has some openness to ideas from the ascended realm, but he has some openness, some insight into what needs to happen in Korean society. If he is willing to act on this and if he can gain support for this in the political arena, then you can see some progress. There can of course also be challenges, depending on how he carries out the office. But nevertheless, I am hopeful, cautiously optimistic, that Korea will make progress under this presidency.

How to see the subconscious selves

Question: Despite the ascended master’s recent teachings on the subconscious selves, I find it very difficult to find my subconscious self. How can we make it easier to find a subconscious self and how can we uncover the causes or beliefs behind it?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, we have attempted to make it as easy as possible especially with the tools given in the book Healing Your Spiritual Traumas, but also in many other teachings that are freely available.

Really there is no mechanical way to make this easier, because as we have explained – it is a matter of you coming to see something that you do not see right now and that the self does not want you to see. Really, it all revolves around one thing, your willingness to look at yourself. And you may say with the outer mind: “Oh, I am willing to look at myself”, but in many cases that is not correct. You still have a subconscious resistance. Now you understand here, I hope, that there will always be resistance from the self. It does not want to be exposed because it wants to survive and it can only survive if it stays hidden from you. But you, even the Conscious You, can have a certain resistance to coming to see something in yourself or even a resistance to looking inside yourself instead of projecting that the problem is out there. Some people have such a momentum from past lives of believing in this outer path that you can be saved without looking at your psychology, that it takes time for you, it takes work to work with yourself consciously to shift into the point where you really are willing.

And the same goes for uncovering the causes and beliefs behind the self. You can still have resistance. You can have some selves you are willing to look at and expose, but you can have others where there is a certain emotional charge where you really do not want to see that you have a certain self or a certain tendency, a certain reactionary pattern.

For example, many spiritual people have learned in past lives that on the spiritual path you are not supposed to be prideful. They have actually created a self that seeks to suppress any sense of pride. And this self will then cause you to resist seeing that you have a self that is based on pride. Therefore, it can sometimes be necessary to look at yourself and see if you have a self that resists you looking at your psychology.

In general, each specific self has a resistance to you looking for that self, but you can have certain general selves that are resisting your looking inside yourself. This is something you can apply if you feel it is difficult to come to see the selves. Apply this and see if that helps you come to see something that then opens up, so it becomes easier for you to see more specific selves.

Transfer of consciousness with organ transplant

Question 1: In a previous Q&A, the masters said regarding blood donation and organ transplants that organs carry the donor’s consciousness and therefore, the recipient should ask the masters to remove the energy, demagnetize the organ so that they may be free from the lower elements of the donor’s consciousness. Fourteen years ago, I donated 70% of my liver to my critically ill daughter through a living liver transplant. Since then, I have observed, quite surprisingly, that her personality has become noticeably similar to mine. However, at that time I was not aware of the teachings of the ascended masters and therefore, did not make any such request. My questions are as follows: Is it still necessary or meaningful to request the removal of my energy from the transplanted organ even after so many years?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

The short answer is yes, it is meaningful, and it is important.

Question 2: If lower elements of consciousness can be transferred through physical organs, is it acceptable or even beneficial if higher elements are transferred as well?

If you have a higher level of consciousness than the person receiving the transplant, then it can be beneficial to that person. But on the other hand, you also have the concern that this person needs to be able to evolve based on their own level of consciousness and the free will choices. I cannot give you an absolute answer to this question. What I can say is that you should still request that your consciousness and energy be withdrawn from the transplanted organ, so it does not affect the recipient. You do this according to the vision of Christ and if it is beneficial for the recipient that they retain the energy and the consciousness then it will not be removed. But at least you have made the request, so that we have the authority to step in when needed.

Question 3: Could this type of transfer involve a subtle interference with the recipient’s free will? This question arises especially because after the transplant I noticed my daughter began making decisions that felt somewhat different from her previous tendencies.

Well yes it certainly can do this. In some cases, this can be beneficial and otherwise not. But you still need to ask for this to be withdrawn in accordance with the vision of Christ and then we will determine what applies in the individual situation.

Question on shamans

Question: I wonder what kind of beings shamans receive information from?

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.

Well, that depends on the shaman and his or her level of consciousness. There are shamans who are at such a low level of consciousness and use techniques and tools that are of a lower form that they can only tune into beings from the emotional realm. Some even tune into beings from the astral realm. Then there are shamans who can tune into beings from the mental realm and therefore, receive higher information. A few can tune into beings from the identity realm. And once in a while there will be a shaman who can tune in to the ascended masters, at least part of the time. It is very individual, but I will say that the vast majority of shamans do not go beyond the mental level and there are quite a few shamans that in the rituals they use, in the techniques and tools they use, especially if they use any form of chemical substance to alter their consciousness, they are only tuned in to the emotional or even the astral plane.

And you see this often with shamans that they are very tied to the earth, to a specific culture, to natural phenomena, to using various natural things, dead animals, rocks, whatever it may be, and this of course ties them to the lower realms. It is a matter of whether the shaman is able to raise his or her consciousness beyond the earthly level.
