About the invocations for the Divine Mother

Question: Can you tell me how can I apply the invocations in my daily life that we invoke during this conference, and for what purpose can I use them?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, I think these invocations, these four invocations for the Divine Mother, I think they were given back in 2012 or maybe 2011. So I’m actually surprised when I read them today and see that they already contained these teachings about the separate selves. So I would say that they are actually very good for helping shift awareness. I’m not saying that all of you need them if you have made use of the latest teachings in healing your spiritual traumas and forward. You don’t necessarily need them, but it might still help shift your mind to give these invocations or to even read them carefully, because some of the statements are kind of like koans, enigmas that are meant to trick the linear mind.

So I would say that they’re very, very good for neutralizing the linear mind so you can get beyond that linear mind. They also good for dealing with hatred of the mother, our sense of resentment towards being in physical embodiment. So, you could do a vigil, where you took these four invocations, and you could give one one day one the next, the third the third day, the fourth the fourth day and then start over. And you could do that so you’re giving each invocation nine times for example, I think that would have a positive impact on many people in terms of shifting that identification we have with the linear mind.

“Let it be” by The Beatles 

Question: Was the song: “Let It Be” by The Beatles inspired by Mother Mary? The lyrics would seem to suggest that, “When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be” and so forth and so on.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

So Mother Mary will say: No, The Beatles were not able to attune to my consciousness or the consciousness of any other ascended master.

Can I Am Presence send more than one Conscious You into embodiment? 

Question: Please address the idea of one I AM Presence sending more than one soul into embodiment simultaneously. Do these souls maintain a group soul relationship throughout multiple embodiments. What else do they share?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, obviously, these lifestreams, I will not say souls because as we use it today, we’re saying the soul is the four lower bodies that the Conscious You creates. So these lifestreams share the I AM Presence. They may also share certain characteristics. But you need to recognize that this doesn’t mean that you can now start looking for your spiritual family as these other Conscious You’s that were part of your own I AM Presence. Because why would the I AM Presence send more than one Conscious You into embodiment in an unascended sphere? It’s because It wants to have different experiences.

So if It wants to have different experiences, would It send two Conscious Yous to the same planet? So these Conscious You are usually spread out. I’m not saying that every I AM Presence sends more than one Conscious You but they are usually spread out on different planets so that they don’t come in into physical contact with each other. I’m not saying it can’t happen on rare occasions, it’s something that can be said to have had a certain impact on the twin flame concept, but it is not normal that this happens.

Death of the Conscious You?

Question: When we ascend, does the conscious self merge and become one with the I AM Presence? If so, does the conscious self still have a separate sense of self apart from the I AM presence after the ascension? Do the ascended masters have a conscious self in the same way unascended beings do?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well again, I’ll address that because if you’re really interested in this question, you should read Guru Ma’s book: “Don’t Drink Your Own Kool Aid”, because she talks about it in there and gives actually the most detailed teachings that the masters have yet given on the Conscious You and the I AM Presence. The short answer is that when you ascend, the conscious self does merge, it becomes one with the I AM Presence. It sort of merges back into the I AM presence. The question says, “Does the conscious self still have a separate sense of self apart from the I AM Presence after the ascension?” Well, no, because it merges into the I AM Presence. But basically, you could also say, the conscious self stops existing—it’s not there anymore. It’s just the I AM Presence. That’s what Gautama talks about.

And so, do the ascended masters have a conscious self in the same way we do? No, obviously they don’t. That’s how you become ascended. The conscious self is like an extension of the I AM Presence, only created to go into embodiment in an un-ascended sphere. So when you ascend, there is no longer any need for it. And then you could say that the Conscious You comes out of the I AM Presence, but when you ascend, it merges back into it.

So it only has sort of a temporary existence and what happens when you ascend is you realize I, let’s put it this way, you go into duality. Or you start with a limited sense of awareness and you think you are all of these selves you create in order to be in embodiment on earth, or whatever planet you’re on, even a natural planet. So you think you are this, when you go into duality, you think you are the separate self, you identify yourself as a separate self. So what the masters have done is they’ve given us this concept of the Conscious You in order to help us separate from all of those separate selves. Jesus actually described the process 2,000 years ago when he talked about: “He who seeks to save his life shall lose it, but he who is willing to lose his life for My sake shall find it.” In other words, if you are seeking to save the life of your separate selves, you’re going to lose eternal life because you can’t move on and you certainly can’t ascend. But if you are willing to let these separate selves die in order to follow Christ, to come closer to oneness, then you will win eternal life.

So, the Conscious You is sort of a concept they have given us to realize that we are more than these outer selves. And they have said that we are pure awareness, meaning the Conscious You doesn’t have any features and characteristics that can be described. So you could even say that what we have been told here is also a stage. So in other words, first you’re completely identified with the outer self, then you come to this realization: “I’m more than this outer self,” and then they have given us the concept of the Conscious You to help us realize: “Oh, I am not the outer personality. I’m not the outer self. I’m a Conscious You that isn’t bound by anything in this world of form because I’m pure awareness so I can’t be imprisoned by anything in this world.” But eventually when you ascend, you come to the realization: “Oh, I’m not the Conscious You, I am the I AM Presence. And then you have ascended. I don’t think you can fully realize that until you ascend. Maybe you can, but then I haven’t realized it yet.

The positive example of other planets

Question: In the annals of cosmic history, is there an instance of a planet in a similar situation to earth today that eventually manifested a golden age and ultimately ascended? Were any of the ascended beings we know of today involved in that victory?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

I’ll just answer that because the masses have talked about it before that there are many, many planets, they haven’t really put a number on it that I can remember, but I imagine thousands if not millions of planets which have been in a similar situation to earth and have gone into a positive spiral.

The masters have also said that Sanat Kumara, has himself said that he has worked with several planets that were in a similar or even a worse situation than earth today. He actually called himself the “Cosmic Garbage Collector” in one dictation. So he has done this several times. And I’m sure there are other masters who have been involved with similar things.

Transcending  traditional roles for men and women

Kim’s talk given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

I think I would just like to share something. You know, from a certain outer perspective, and there was even a separate self in my outer mind who says that, because I’m a man, I’m a male messenger, how can I take a dictation from the Divine Mother, from these female masters? And I sense that there may be even a reaction from the collective consciousness, maybe some women feel this way.

I’m not saying any of you on the broadcast but out there in society. And I also sense that there’s a certain reaction to the conference, maybe even from some of the men who are familiar with the teachings or participating in the conference of: “Well, if the next decade is all about the liberation of women, where does that leave us men?”

And what I sense in myself is simply this, that there comes a point on the spiritual path where you transcend these traditional roles for men and women. I don’t see myself as a man, I don’t identify myself as a man. Obviously, I have a male body I am in a male body. But I am not a man. I am a spiritual being. And I am beyond sexuality as it’s defined on earth.

And so I think that you, whether you are in a female body or a male body, you can contemplate the same thing and you can strive to come to that point where you realize that these teachings, at a certain outer level they are given specifically for women, but they also apply to those of us who are in a male body, we can also learn from them, we can also make use of them. We can also serve to help liberate women and liberate other men from the traditional male roles because that’s obviously another aspect of it.

So it isn’t all or nothing as such. I feel that in order to take any dictation whether it’s from a male or female master, I have to go into neutral, a neutral state of mind. And therefore, I can just as well take a dictation from the Divine Mother, as from Saint Germain. I think it’s the same with all of us—the masters are for practical reasons talking about the liberation of women but we who are in a male body are just as much part of that movement.

It’s not like, well, we just need to go hide ourselves for the next 10 years and wait for this cycle to be over so we can come back into the game. That’s not the way I see it at all. And I hope you don’t see it that way either. We need as spiritual people, as ascended master students, need to drive the change in consciousness and we do that by transcending the roles for men and women. So we see that the liberation of women is really not a woman’s issue. It’s not a female issue. It’s a spiritual issue that applies to all people on earth.

Ask yourself: What would I like to do on this planet?

Question: I would like to know what you, Kim, usually do when you are not working as a messenger. Are there some interests in this your human life? I was just freed from most of the desires and things that I had before. I often can’t figure out how to fill the day in a new way.

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

So the person is saying that: “I have freed myself from most of the desires and things I had before and therefore I often cannot figure out how to fill the day in a new way. I am interested in your experience. One cannot work with psychology or dictations all day.”

And that is true. Well, when I was in my first years as a messenger I actually, especially after I had started the “AskRealJesus” website, I did work on it pretty much all day and sometimes all night. I was constantly, in most of my waking hours, working on new questions and new answers, putting them on the website, doing this, doing that. When I had dictations, I was working on that. And creating the websites and publishing the books and there were also some practical things I had to take care of, filling orders for the books, shipping them out. And of course, the practical things of eating, shopping, heating the house, cleaning up the house and all of these, maintaining the house, and so on.

There are some practical things I had to do. But when I wasn’t working on practical things, I was pretty much working on doing the websites and the books. And that lasted for quite a number of years, but there did come a point where I started realizing that I cannot continue to spend so much time in front of the computer. And it was partly because I think many people do not realize what my work actually consists of.

You can see that even if we have four or five conferences this year, it is only a few days that I travel to a conference and then there are three or four days for the conference where I take the dictations.

Then I go back home. And what I do most of the time at home is I edit and proofread text. I have people who are transcribing the dictations but when they send them to me, they have to be edited and proofread, then they have to be turned into books or they have to be put on the website and so on.

I have spent so much time editing and proofreading text that it came upon me, I started realizing that either my eyes or my brain, they have a limited capacity to do this. And that means that since I moved back to Denmark in 2014, I have started spending more time away from the computer. I have simply realized I need to spend time away from the computer.

What I simply do is I have come to a point where I have stopped having this black and white division in my mind that I had earlier, that certain activities are spiritual and certain activities are not spiritual. To me, everything I do is in a sense spiritual, because my whole life is spiritual. I am on the spiritual path and everything I do is part of my personal growth.

So, it is not so that I think that, when I am working on the books and the websites or taking dictations that is spiritual and when I am taking out the trash or shopping that is not spiritual. The distinction is meaningless to me now.

I have certain things I have always been interested in. I like doing something physical. I like building something. I remodel the house, I refurbish the house, I paint the walls, I build things outside the house, new entrance, roof over the terrace, and this and that. I like doing something that is physical because you see a physical result of it.

Julita and I usually take a walk every day to, or at least most days, to get out there and do some physical exercise. We do a little bit of boating and kayaking. When I was young, I enjoyed boating, I enjoyed building boats so I have some small boats.

Since I am back in Denmark, I grew up in a family of duck hunters, so I have taken that up again, because I wanted to see how I reacted to it psychologically, which has been a very good learning experience for me. But it is also a physical activity, very physical that gets me out in nature in the winter where you normally, because of the weather in Denmark, don’t like to go out.

Some will say that is not a spiritual activity. For me, it is just meaningless to make that kind of distinction. Because whatever you do is part of your spiritual growth and your part of your spiritual path. I would say it is true that you cannot work on psychology all day but in a sense, working on my personal psychology is sort of, and has been for many years, the background of my life.

There is always an undercurrent where, whenever a situation comes up, if I feel a reaction in me, I look at that reaction and I try to see where it comes from. And sometimes there is not an outer situation, I am just walking and some kind of thought or some kind of feeling comes to me and I say: “Okay, so where did that come from? Is there something I need to look at?”

In the last year or so, I have started realizing that sometimes I can have a feeling or reaction come up and it is actually not because I have a certain self, it is a projection from the outside. I realized that many of the thoughts that come into my mind, they are just produced by the mind, they have no real purpose.

I used to think when I was younger, that when a thought came into my mind, I had to accept that thought and I had to follow that thought. And that would create this whole string of associations where, you can sit down to relax and then a thought comes in. And you follow that thought, and it leads from this to this to this. And five minutes later, you realize: “Gosh, I’ve been thinking this whole time, starting with this original thought, my attention has been caught up in this loop.” And it really led to nowhere. So, I have started realizing that more, and I pay less attention to it. So, I have come to a point where, I do not actually always have to be doing something.

So, the question is, now that I have overcome most of my desires, and the things I had to do before, sometimes I cannot figure out how to fill the day. Well, I would say maybe look at the fact that we are brought up, we are programmed in our culture thinking we always have to be doing something, we always have to be active, we always have to be engaged in something. And personally, over the last year I have started questioning this: “Do I always have to be doing something that leads to some kind of result?”

I have described how I came to this experience of dissolving a separate self that probably was my primal self after coming to earth. What I felt, I always had to do something on earth. I had to do something. It had to make a difference that I was here. So, in the beginning years when I was a messenger, I felt I always had to be working. I always had to be working on the websites or the books, doing something that relates to spiritual growth and helping other people and helping the masters and getting the teachings out.

But now, I have come to start to question that. Do I always have to be doing something? Is it not enough that I am sometimes just here, that I am engaged in some kind of physical activity, and I am just absorbed in that activity? It doesn’t have to be that I’m doing something that leads to a particular result or particular outcome. It is like I’ve started getting better at doing what the Buddha has talked about several times where you disconnect your actions from a result. Instead of being focused on the result, you are focused more on the process.

Sometimes, I can actually sit down, and I am not thinking about something I should be doing or could be doing. It does not last very long before something comes and: “Oh, you should be doing this.” But I have gotten better at simply being present, being present in the moment, instead of always either doing something physically or doing something with the mind.

The mind, the linear intellectual mind, its greatest fear is that it becomes irrelevant, so it creates all of these scenarios where you always think if you are not doing something, you should be doing something. You should at least be thinking about what you could be doing. But why? Can we not just be, and be here, and be the open door for the light of the masters in the I AM Presence? This is still having an impact on the planet. But it is not technically what we normally see as doing something.

The other thing I realized is that as spiritual people—you know, the masters have said this several times—when we find a spiritual teaching, even an ascended master teaching, we have a certain level of consciousness. We have a certain mindset, and we transfer that to how we use the teaching. We, in essence, use the teaching to validate this, and I remember, especially when I was a child, when I was a teenager, I had this very strong sense that life should have a purpose. There should be a purpose for why I was on this planet, but I did not know what it was. So, it was a vacuum. I was living in a vacuum.

Then I found Yogananda’s book, which told me there is a spiritual path. I found the Transcendental Meditation movement, which talked about having an impact on the world by meditating. And then I found the ascended masters teachings, which also talked about having an impact on the world by giving decrees. I took that state of mind and felt that it was validated by the ascended masters that part of my purpose in life was to give all these decrees to transmute negative energy and therefore have a positive impact on the world.

I became very obsessive-compulsive about decreeing, and I gave hours of decrees a day. And I had periods where I would get up at five o’clock in the morning and decree for two hours and then go to work or do what I had to do. And then, I would decree for two or three hours in the evening. It became really obsessive-compulsive in periods. When I then became a messenger and started doing this, I transferred this. I always had to be doing something that was constructive, and the only way I could see that was that I was doing some outer physical activity.

But as I said, as I have resolved this self that I felt I had to do something on earth, I realized that it is not just when I am doing something that is supposed to be a spiritual activity that I am having a positive impact on the earth. Because the more I get rid of these separate selves, the more I become an open door for the energies from my I AM Presence. So, whatever I am engaged in, I am having a positive impact on the planet. The same goes for those of you who have resolved these selves.

So we are the open doors for the I AM Presence, for the energies of the masters. And it does not matter really what we are doing on an outer level. You can be reading a book—and I like to read books, I read quite a few books—and you are still having a positive impact on the planet because your mind is an open door for the I AM Presence. You may even be reading a book about a certain topic, and just by you putting your attention on it, energy can flow into it.

You can be doing many activities, and what I have come to realize here is that I used to have this idea—and this goes very far back, probably to my birth trauma—I used to have this belief that I am not on this planet to enjoy life on this planet. I did not come here to enjoy the things that you can do on planet Earth. I came here as a sacrifice because I wanted to raise the planet up and improve the planet. So basically, that gave me the belief that as a spiritual person, I should not be doing something that is pleasurable. In fact, I should feel a little bit guilty if I did something pleasurable and enjoyable.

In other words, I could not allow myself to say: “I would like to do this. I would like to experience what it is like to do this, and therefore, I am doing it.” And it is just as spiritual as anything else. I felt I could not allow myself to do this. I felt—and it was very much reinforced by the culture in the Summit Lighthouse—that I should set aside all of these pleasurable activities, and I should only do what served the masters or what has something to do with my spiritual mission and my spiritual growth. That was all I should be doing. And I did this for many years, and I am not saying it did not lead to a certain growth, but there also came a point where I realized this also has a certain limitation.

There is a limit to how far you can go on the path with this approach. What I have done in recent years, especially after I started working on this primal self and the other selves, is I have said: “But I am on earth right now. There are certain things you can do on earth that you can only do on earth, that you cannot do on a natural planet, and if I have a desire to experience that and enjoy that, why should I not do it? Why is it unspiritual to do this?” I am not talking about harming other people.

But why not? Why is this not a spiritual activity? This means that I can now look at life, and I can say: “Is there something on this planet that I would like to do, like to experience, before I permanently leave this planet behind? And if there is, why is it anti-spiritual to do it, and why is it anti-spiritual to enjoy it?”

I think we, as spiritual people, sometimes we become way too black-and-white in how we look at life on this planet. And we feel that we cannot really allow ourselves to enjoy life, to engage in life and to just do it. It goes for many aspects of life. It could be many aspects of life that we do not feel we should engage in, but I think there comes this point where you realize that you are not doing something because you have some compulsion to do it. You are not having a separate self that drives you to do this activity. So, you are not caught in this spiral of wanting more and more, and it is never enough. You are doing it as part of your process of ascending from this planet, as part of your process of coming to the point where you can say: “I have lived on this planet for a long time, and I have engaged in some of the activities you can do here. I have enjoyed them fully, and I am done with it. And therefore, I am done with life on this planet.”

In other words, it is not just negative that you want to get away from the planet, because I can see that when I was younger, I was driven by the fact that there were so many things on earth that disturbed me that I just wanted to get away from. My main motivation for seeking my ascension was to get out of here, get away from all this nonsense that is going on on this planet. But now, I have come to the point where I have a more positive view of life on this planet, and I realize there are certain activities that have a certain enjoyment. It may not be an ultimate enjoyment compared to what you can have on a natural planet, what you can have when you ascend, but while you are on earth, why would you not engage in life with a positive outlook and enjoy it? When you are not compelled to do it, it is not anti-spiritual; it is not unspiritual.

I think you can allow yourself to say: “What would I like to do on this planet?” Then you do it. You do not feel guilty about it. You do not feel it is unspiritual. You do not feel you should be doing something else. It is almost as if your life becomes spontaneous. Before, a few years ago, I had used the masters’ teachings to evaluate everything I did. Should I do this? Should I not do that? I was always thinking, there was always a thinking process evaluating before I did it whether I should be doing it or not. Quite frankly, that came from a separate self. I see that very clearly now. I could not have seen it five years ago, but I see it now.

Now, there is no evaluation process. If I feel like it, I do it. A few months ago, on one of the first warm spring days, I felt like driving down to the nearest town. I had to go shopping anyway, but I felt like buying an ice cream, and walking out on the marina, and looking at the boats while I was eating this ice cream and enjoying the sunshine. Well, back in the Summit days, I would not have done that because there was sugar in that ice cream, and I should not be eating sugar. But now I just did it, and I just enjoyed it, and I did not feel guilty about it. I do not think it was an anti- spiritual activity to enjoy the spring sun while eating an ice cream. I think you can take a new look at life on the planet based on overcoming these separate selves and allow yourself to enjoy it, to enjoy life, to choose what you want to do, or to let it come spontaneously. It is much more enjoyable.

Free will choices of other people can influence what happens to you

Question:  Is it true that we are the creators of our own reality to the extent that everything we experience in the manifest world has been created by us in our three higher bodies, through our beliefs, thoughts and emotions prior to our experiencing it? This would include all of our most negative experiences, everything that has been perpetrated on us by the fallen beings, everything that has happened to us while we have been in physical embodiment. Have we somehow made ourselves a vibrational match to it prior to it happening? Or can something happen to us that we have not created and when we are not a vibrational match to it?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, I will answer that because the masters have given certain dictations over the last few years where they have said that, first of all, you live in a world where there are other self-aware beings with free will than yourself, so it is possible that somebody can choose to do something to you that you really haven not created yourself, and so you need to recognize that you live on a planet where there are many other people and their free will choices will also influence what happens to you. It is not just your freewill choices. The other thing is that you of course live on an unnatural planet where many people are in the duality consciousness.

This planet is very, very chaotic and of course you live on a planet that is under the influence of fallen beings so, for example, you can see what they have said about avatars. You come onto earth as an avatar and you are exposed to this very, very traumatic event that gives you this cosmic birth trauma and makes you create this primal self. You did not have this in your being when you came as an avatar. You did not create a vibrational matrix in your three higher bodies that corresponded to what the fallen beings did to you, so this was perpetrated upon you by the fallen beings. Now, what we have created since then is that we have created in our three higher bodies all of these separate selves that are reacting to conditions on earth. What we can say now that we have created these selves is that, in many cases, we may have a self that has a certain belief that bad things can happen to us and this may very well precipitate these things happening to us because we need to come to the point where we see the self and let go of it.

Even so, we still live on a chaotic planet with free will, and so we have to find a delicate balance where we have to say: “I take responsibility for my own state of consciousness. I realized that my own state of consciousness will have some influence on what happens to me.” But there comes a point on the spiritual path where you realize that not everything that happens to you can be explained by something in your own state of consciousness. What you do at this point is you start looking at: “It is actually not what happens to me that is determined by my consciousness, but my reaction to what happens is determined by my consciousness.”

And this is where you can come to a point where you realize that the next phase for you is to work on changing your reactions to anything that happens on Earth. You overcome your reactionary patterns which all spring from a separate self. So when something happens to you it is not so much that you need to say: “Do I really have something that negative in my consciousness that corresponds to this event?” but you can look at your reaction and say: “What can my reaction tell me about the separate selves I have?” and then you work on that, you come to see that and you let the separate self die.

You need to come to a point on the spiritual path where things can happen to you that are not necessarily positive but you do not react to them anymore, you have no reaction to it, you have as little reaction as possible. This is what is illustrated in the story of Jesus and the Buddha where Jesus said: “The prince of this world cometh and has nothing in me,” and the Buddha was under the Bodhi Tree being confronted by the demons of mara and they tried to create some kind of reaction in him.

This is the more constructive point when you have walked the path for a while and can come to a point where you sense you have basically balanced your karma and so what happens to you is not a result of your karma or something you did in the past, but you can still use it as an opportunity to look at your reaction to it. We have to recognize that while we are still on earth, which is an unnatural planet, we have to allow free will to out play itself and this means that we can be exposed to certain situations.

You can say some people have been impacted by the corona situation, some people have lost their jobs. You could go in and say: “Oh, is this me personally that has something negative in my being that caused me to lose my job?” But you could also say: “Is it really just simply an outplaying of the collective consciousness that caused this epidemic and maybe my personal role in this is to look at my reaction, and to look at what is the opportunity I could get out of this happening? Is there maybe a new direction I can put my life in? And could I overcome some separate selves that would help me overcome the reaction so that I can see this opportunity, I can see this as an opportunity, and I can see the new direction I can go in.”

It is just one of one many examples, where you look at your reactionary patterns. Your reactionary patterns will often block you from seeing whatever happens as an opportunity. We have to be aware also that sometimes things can be an opportunity. For example, if you lose a job, it can be because it is time in your Divine plan to find a different way to make a living, maybe even a different career path. And so, if you allow your separate selves to cause you to react to the situation, then you cannot see this as an opportunity. You cannot see the doors that are opening. But if you overcome those reactionary patterns, then you can see it as a new opportunity and say: “What is the new direction I could go in with my life? And how could I turn the current situation into an opportunity for growth?”

Child sex trafficking

Question: The issue of child sex trafficking. A lot is in the news about sex offenders and the powerful elite. This has been hushed up well for many decades. Will there be full accountability from the perpetrators and besides making calls to expose this consciousness, what else can we as ascended master students do to continue to expose this sickness and hopefully eradicate it from the planet altogether? I don’t think it will be part of the golden age.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

No, of course this will not be part of the golden age. What you can do as ascended master students is continue to make calls for this, make calls for the exposure of the dynamic behind it. Will there be full accountability for the perpetrators? Well, of course there will be in a karmic sense. These people will generate very much negative energy, they will lower their own state of consciousness, they will tie themselves to the fallen beings who are behind all of this and they will not escape accountability.

Now, whether there will be a public accountability in the public awareness or in a courts of law on earth is another matter. It is clear that many of these powerful people know how to manipulate the system and escape accountability for this. Again, you can make the calls for the binding of the demons, the fallen beings, the collective beasts behind this that are preventing the exposure of it. But still it is likely that some of them will be able to escape accountability.

What you can make the calls for is that people will begin to see that of course the sexual exploitation of children, no matter who does it, is not in accordance with the basic humanity. No child should be exposed to sexual exploitation from anyone whatsoever. And so you can make the calls for this to be seen, and this will gradually raise the collective awareness so that these practices will not be able to be tolerated or remain hidden and therefore some of these people will realize that time has run away from this.

You can also make the calls that there will be an exposure that this is, really has, only one purpose and it is to steal energy from these children who yet have a higher degree of innocence and therefore they have certain energies they can steal. You can make calls for the exposure of this entire mythology that has been created about virgins, that it is somehow desirable for men to have sex with a virgin. This is again because they steal energy from a person who has never had in this lifetime sexual activity, so there is some reality to it but the reality of course is not a positive one because why do these people, men or women, need to steal energy through sexual activity? It is because they have cut them off from getting it where all people should be getting energy, namely from their I Am Presences.

And so you can see that these beings, they are not all fallen beings, but they are certainly stepped into a realm of being energy vampires that are aggressively and with force stealing energy from other people. This of course is not in accordance with the essential humanity according to which all people should have the opportunity to live their lives without having their energy stolen by any external force, but it will be a little more long term that society will be able to recognize this. Of course it will be recognized when, as Saint Germain said, there will be the technology that will enable people to see directly how energy can be stolen and extracted from people’s energy fields through music, through sexual activity, through many other human activities.

There will come a point in a golden age where it will be possible to evaluate human activities based on the cost of the energy drain that it exposes people to, and this will create an entirely new awareness about what activities people want to go into. It is not something that in all cases will be the subject of laws where certain activities will be prohibited. It will simply be that society will realize that people need to know what the effects are before they engage in an activity and then society can allow people to make the choice, at least for some activities. Clearly sexually exploitation will, to a greater degree than it is now, be outlawed so that the punishment will be higher for those who can only be scared by the threat of exposure and punishment.

How can we help to end female genital mutilation 

Question: Will there come a time when female genital mutilation becomes completely outlawed on earth? What can we do to hold the focus to bring about that reality?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, as Portia has already stated in her dictation, it’s clear that there will come a point where this is outlawed. What you can do if this is a concern to you is of course make the calls for it. You can make various calls, but certainly for the binding of the demons that are behind this, the fallen beings that are behind this, and even the collective beasts that are created in these countries where this is a practice that has been performed for a long time.

It is not necessarily demons in the collective consciousness, but there are these collective entities that people have created because they have believed in this practice, and they are fed by the negative energy that is produced when young girls are exposed to this very harmful practice, very traumatic practice. And you can make the calls for them to be bound, you can make the calls for all of this dynamic to be exposed so that people can begin to see it.

You can also make the calls, as Portia said, that women will be awakened to this basic humanity where they say: “This was one of the most traumatic experiences in my life and I, as a mother, cannot expose my own daughter to this. I simply cannot do this because it is not humane to do this. It was done to me but this should not be done to my own daughter.”

About mass culture focused only on physical appearance

Question: Society has conditioned men to believe that the more feminine a woman looks, with makeup and dress and mannerisms, the more desirable she is. Is this because the fallen beings have made women to represent the material world, the omega aspect of men wanting to control that and have power over it?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well my beloved, to a large part it is correct that the fallen beings have created this mindset that a woman’s outer appearance is what makes that woman desirable to a man. This is of course a completely artificial mindset. Now, if you look upon this realistically from a certain biological perspective you would say: “What would make it desirable for a man to have sex with a woman?” From a purely biological perspective, it would be to produce offspring that had the best ability to survive, but would that necessarily be physical appearance, even in the present society?

Now you can go back to hunter-gatherer cultures and see that a woman’s look had very little to do with her ability to survive, but even today does it actually have anything to do with her ability to survive to bring forth healthy children? Would it not be so that intelligence, wisdom and the ability to know how to live a constructive life would be far more important, and what does the outer appearance have to do with this?

Now, of course you can go in and see that if you look at this from a spiritual perspective, what would make a man want to have children with a particular woman? It would not be related to the physical appearance of that woman, it would be related to her energy field and the energy field is not necessarily reflected in physical appearance.

If a spiritually inclined man was to evaluate a woman it will be based on: “Can she and I bring forth children that have the highest possible level of consciousness so that we can bring forth spiritual children that can help raise the collective consciousness?” This would be from a spiritual perspective what would make a woman desirable to a man, and of course a man desirable to a woman.

And when you understand this perspective you realize that what the fallen beings really want to do is to manipulate the relationship between men and women so that as few children as possible can be born who have a higher level of awareness, who have the potential to manifest and express Christ Consciousness in this lifetime.

This is their real hidden goal behind all of the other manipulations of the relationship between men and women and so from this perspective you can see that what the fallen beings have attempted to do is to create a situation where the relationship between men and women, the attraction between men and women, is based only on physical appearance. Does this mean that all men fall for this manipulation? Of course not. Does it mean that all women fall for it? Of course not, but the tendency is there and this is what they want to create by creating this mass culture that is only focused on physical appearance and certain manipulated ideals for beauty or sexuality.

If you really look at this, even from beyond the biological and spiritual perspective, but you are looking at it from a psychological perspective and you take a man who says: “What kind of woman would I want to have sex with?” Well would you not want to have sex with a woman who can give you the biggest sexual experience, the highest possible sexual experience? But would that necessarily be the woman who lives up to the current ideal of beauty?

Would it not rather be a woman that harmonized with you psychologically so that you could have the greatest possible degree of harmony, even oneness? This will lead to a higher sexual experience. You see again the fallen beings tried to manipulate everything, made it superficial, artificial and therefore, to make sure that people cannot actually have fulfillment out of the interaction between men and women, the relationship between men and women, even the sexual relationship between men and women. This is partly because they want to prevent Christed children but also because they just want to create chaos and prolong suffering.

Music in the golden age 

Question:  I have noticed that many people need music to surround them all the time. For example, people like to listen to the radio in their workplace and cars. It is also constantly playing music in shopping centers and other shops etc. I like to listen to music myself, too, but since I started with the teachings of the ascended masters I sense that almost 99% of that music is lowering my vibration, and has a loop effect to get me caught in a closed circle. What is the psychological need for this to be surrounded by music and radio? For me it is very hard to find any uplifting or non-looping effect music, and it is difficult to be there where that kind of music plays. Can Saint Germain comment on this? Will there be more silence in the golden age?

Kim: I want to refer to the answer given yesterday by Mother Mary about music because it addresses this, why people have this need to always have noise, and also talks about music and that much music is not raising your vibration. This is actually what the person is sensing. But Saint Germain will still give some teachings and also comments on this.

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

In the golden age, music of course will be changed dramatically. It will be recognized, at least as we move further into the golden age, that music, as Mother Mary said, moves energy and that you have energy bodies, your emotional, mental and identity bodies, but that even the physical body is an energy body. Therefore music can have a profound influence on these four energy bodies and it can be a constructive influence or destructive influence.

There will come a point where you will have technology that can display the aura on a screen and you can directly see the effect of various types of music, so naturally this will be used to see what effect music has. There will come a point where you will have tools that can show that certain forms of music are so destructive that they can actually lead to physical diseases, and other forms of music are so destructive that they can lead to mental diseases such as depression.

Much of the music you have today, as many people have correctly intuited, lowers your energy, forces the energies down and it is clear if you made a scientific inquiry into this that you could see a connection between the prevalence, the spreading, of this kind of music and the increase in especially depression, but even other mental illnesses and disturbances.

If you look at some of the more destructive music that is out there today and if you could look at the auras of the people who are listening to this for most of their waking hours, you will see how there is a certain accumulation of dark energy in their auras that will pull their minds into feeling hopeless, disempowered and therefore leads to depression. This will all be clear in the golden age.

This will of course lead to the development of new types of music that have the purpose of furthering people’s raising of consciousness, furthering their spiritual development, and it is clear that this will be a major field in the golden age. Of course there will also in the golden age be more and more people who reach this point that Mother Mary talked about where they do not need any outer noise. They do not need even any music because they can use spiritual tools to tune in to their own higher selves, to the ascended masters and therefore have a mystical experience and they will want to have complete silence around them in order to have that mystical experience.

There will also be technology developed, as you now have a noise cancelling headphones, you can have technology that will cancel out all sound in a particular room so that without wearing headphones you can be in a room where there is no sound to disturb your meditation and visualization.

About enemas

Question: I have a question for Jesus. In the gospel of peace, Jesus talks about what to do to clean up bowels by enemas, and ask the angel of water to clean it. How many times a month or in a week do we need to do these procedures so that they do not harm ourselves? And with what herbs or solutions are best to do this? Or was this advice given by Jesus at that time for the people of that time, and for disciples of that time, and do not need such procedures with bowel washing?

Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, you will notice that I have not, through this messenger or even through other messengers, recently referred to the gospel of peace. It is not actually a gospel that came from me, but it was something that was channeled from a source in the mental realm. Now, this is not to say that people cannot benefit from doing enemas if they feel intuitively moved to do so.

I do not wish to make a general statement about whether people should or should not do this. This is something you need to decide individually. And you simply need to look for someone who has experience with this who can recommend certain herbs, or you can experiment with this on your own. It is not something I want to give a general teaching about.

The higher potential for philosophy 

Question: Mother Mary’s opening dictation has, among many other things, provided a severe challenge to the whole area of philosophy. This discipline has, at least in its Western form, to large parts from its very inception, deeply embraced linear thinking. My question is, what role can philosophy play in the golden age, if there is a place for it at all? How would philosophy have to change in order to play a more constructive role? What questions must philosophers address in the coming decades in order to facilitate a potential transformation of philosophy?

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, we have in many dictations actually challenged current philosophy, at least current Western philosophy. We have talked about how this goes back to Aristotle, who did not recognize what was recognized by Plato that there is a realm beyond the material realm. And that, therefore, you cannot ultimately explain the material realm by looking only at the material realm. It is, as the example we have used, attempting to explain the cause of the tide by only looking at the ocean.

It was Aristotle who gave rise to this form of very linear thinking because he claimed that the material world is made of smaller components, and if you understand how the small components work, you can understand the whole. This gave rise to this attitude that you see in most Western philosophers where they believe that by using their minds in their present form they can come to rationalize and reason, and use logic and linear thinking to explain everything in the universe.

Now, if you study Western philosophers as this messenger has done, you will see that most of them think in a very similar way. They believe that they can sit there, wherever they are in the physical, but they can sit there and use their own minds to probe deeper and deeper aspects of how the world works without ever stepping outside of themselves and looking at their minds.

Very few Western philosophers have asked a question: “Is my mind limited? Is my mind, in its current state, in a limited state of consciousness at a limited level? And does my current state of consciousness limit what I can see? What I can know? What I can grasp? What I can experience about the universe? In other words, can my current level of consciousness grasp the totality of the universe? Or are there aspects of how the world functions that are simply beyond the observation horizon, on my current level of consciousness?”

These questions then lead on to the next question, which ties into what Portia said. That the essential humanity is that you have an opportunity to raise your consciousness. Very few Western philosophers have tuned into this, and this is the most severe limitation of Western philosophy. Then the need is to ask this question: “Is it possible for a human being to raise his or her consciousness beyond what is considered normal in the present time in the present society in the present culture? And can raising your consciousness then enable you to see, to grasp, to understand and experience something that you cannot currently see?”

This will then lead up to a broader question: “Is it really possible to do philosophy without understanding the workings of the mind, including the limitations of the mind and the potential for raising your consciousness? Is it even meaningful to start at a certain level of consciousness and then pursue philosophy by thinking that by using rationality and logic and reasoning you can expose all of the secrets of the universe? Does this give any meaning? Or should it instead be so that philosophers see themselves as mystics, who are first of all pursuing a process of raising their consciousness to a higher level before they even start doing philosophy, or certainly writing about philosophy?”

What you see about current Western philosophy is that there are, of course, philosophers who have used their intuition to see certain aspects of how the world works that are not incorrect. You can take some of the more prominent philosophers and you can see that, despite the fact that Western society is so enamored with rational thinking, there were philosophers who were willing and able to use their intuition and they gained certain insights.

But what you most often see is that these philosophers, they had certain things that they took for granted. And there is nothing wrong with this, as such, because you must start somewhere. You can go back to Immanuel Kant, who wrote his most famous book Critique of Pure Reason where he attempted to grapple with the limitation of reasoning and the mind. And you can say that he gained some valuable and valid insights, but you can also see that his entire philosophy is based on a certain foundation. There were certain things he took for granted: what he could see with his own level of consciousness, how his culture used language, the ideas, the concepts that were found in his culture.

You can say that, within the context of which Immanuel Kant did philosophy, he came up with many valid insights. But if you take the step of thinking that Immanuel Kant discovered some ultimate truth, some ultimate insight, some ultimate philosophy, and therefore his philosophy represents some absolute truth or some absolute achievement, then you have stepped into the realm that we might call the religious realm where you claim that something is ultimate.

In essence, no philosopher should ever make the claim of having discovered an ultimate truth. Truly what philosophers could benefit from doing is to recognize the potential for raising human consciousness. And also, again, as Portia said, use this perfect hindsight of looking at history and see that there has been a raising of the collective consciousness.

What can you do as a philosopher, living right now in this time? Well, you can first of all, recognize that your current state of consciousness is limited. And then you can seek to raise that on an individual level. When you have raised yourself beyond the level of the collective consciousness in your society, then you can bring forth some insights that will be valuable for other people in your society who have not raised their consciousness to that level. Therefore, your philosophy can help people individually raise their consciousness, but it can also help raise the collective consciousness of your society, which can then transform your society.

But you need to recognize that as your philosophy has an impact on your society, the primary impact will be that it raises the collective consciousness. And that means that something can now be brought forth that is higher than what you have been able to bring forth, at least with your present level of consciousness. That means that if you have time in your lifespan, you need to again go into a cycle of raising your consciousness. Then you might be able to bring forth something new. But you may also have reached the end of what you are capable of bringing forth because you are not willing to transcend your consciousness. And therefore there will be someone else who will pick up the torch and bring forth something new.

It is, again, exactly the same as we have sponsored several dispensations of ascended master organizations and teachings. And in each of them there are some that have believed that their messenger was capable of bringing forth the ultimate teaching that would stand for the next 2000 years.

This messenger has not made this claim and does not believe this, but realizes that as the teachings we have given through him begin to affect the collective consciousness, of course, we can bring forth a higher teaching. If he continues to raise his consciousness he can bring forth at least part of that higher teaching.

But there will come a point where there will be other messengers who will now be able to pick up on this and bring forth the next teaching. And that is simply how progressive revelation works. That is also how philosophy progresses, it is how science progresses, it is how religion ideally should progress. What you see is always that there is a historical process that drives progress. There is a force that drives progress. And this force is not a dualistic or dialectic force.

You know the philosopher Hegel came up with the idea that a thesis created an antithesis, and the interaction between the two led to a synthesis. This is actually not the full explanation here. The reality is that what we have called the force of the Holy Spirit or the river of life is what drives progress on earth. It is because the Earth is one among billions of planets where self-aware beings on the vast majority of these planets, these beings have made constructive upward choices of raising their consciousness constantly transcending themselves. This creates this force that pulls on the earth. It pulls the earth upwards, it pulls on the collective consciousness.

Now what creates the dialectic that Hegel correctly intuited is the duality consciousness. There is a force that drives progress, but progress often happens because there are two opposing polarities. It can be, as we have explained, an established power elite that opposes change and an aspiring power elite that seeks to bring about change but does so through force and violence. They often see themselves as opposing the established elite, rather than being truly attuned with the upward force. What you see here is that there is an underlying force that drives progress. But then there are, because so many people are still trapped in the duality consciousness, the emergence of these dualistic polarities that oppose each other. And this is what Hegel saw, that one dualistic polarity forms the thesis, the other dualistic polarity forms the antithesis, and the interaction between them creates a synthesis. But this synthesis is not created exclusively by these two forces. It is created by the upward force of the universe pulling the two dualistic polarities higher. It is not just a synthesis between these two polarities. There is that underlying force that pulls everything up. And that is what drives progress. There may then, when a new level has been reached in society, form another dualistic pair of polarities that becomes a new thesis and antithesis, and therefore, you can see that this process continues.

But as we move further into the golden age, as people become more aware of the dualistic dynamic and the epic mindset, and as the collective consciousness is raised, there will be less of this dialectical ping pong game. And the earth will go into a spiral of more upward growth that does not require these swings into the extremes. And therefore, there will no longer be, at a certain point, a thesis and an antithesis. There will simply be an upward moving growth where it is not necessary for people to go into these absurd extremes before they see a more balanced way to create growth.

There is, of course, much more that could be said about this, but certainly these thoughts in itself could put philosophy on an entirely new track that could bring it forward into the golden age. But I can tell you that as we move further into the golden age, philosophy will not be separated from mysticism because philosophers will no more be intellectuals that use only the reasoning faculties of the mind. They will become aware that in order to reach their potential—in fact, in order to move philosophy out of the stalemate it has been in now for a long time—they need to use their intuitive faculties and raise their consciousness.

Mysticism and philosophy will begin to merge, as of course, mysticism and science, mysticism and religion, mysticism and spirituality, mysticism and invention, mysticism and business will all begin to merge because people will realize that in order to fulfill your highest potential in any endeavor you must work actively on your personal psychology, resolving any traumas and raising your level of consciousness so you can grasp higher ideas in your particular field of interest.

About being the extension of a spiritual being 

Question: Is Dimash Kudaibergen, a young Kazakh singer of international renown, also known for his kindness and humility, an extension of Lord Maitreya or another master of love?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

While I understand the question, it is not really based on the latest teachings we have been giving. In a sense you can say that all of you are extensions of some spiritual being. But the way that many spiritual students unfortunately look at this is that they look at somebody who has perhaps a higher degree of kindness and humility than most people and they think he must be a direct extension of a spiritual being with the same qualities, and therefore he must be above and beyond other people.

I want to make it clear here that neither this messenger nor any previous messenger, nor any other person in embodiment now or at any other time, has been fundamentally different from all the rest of you. This goes for Jesus, this goes for the Buddha, as they have talked about.

All of us in embodiment, who have been in embodiment, are, of course, extensions of our spiritual parents, but besides that it is up to our choosing, our freewill choices, our development over many lifetimes, which qualities we embody, which qualities we open ourselves for, so we can become an open door.

When you look at a person who has the ability to inspire others and has humility and kindness instead of having the big ego that often comes with fame, then you can realize that this is a spiritually mature being who has spent many lifetimes developing to this level. It is a result of his own efforts, his own choosing, that he has reached that level, not because he is somehow magically an extension of a spiritual being. This does not take away from him having the attainment he has. It actually adds to it because it is a result of him following the path, as you are all following the path.

Question about the Ma-ter light 

Question: Can we perceive the Ma-ter light as a boundless combination of possibilities, manifesting in creative acts based on individuality and the free will of individuals?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

I would prefer to say that the Ma-ter light is not only created by the free will acts of individuals. Because there are certain aspects of the world of form that are created by the ascended masters, such as planet Earth being created by the Elohim.

You see that there is a certain matrix for the Earth that was created by the Elohim, and within that matrix people in embodiment, fallen beings and not fallen beings, have been able to change the Earth, change certain aspects of the Earth. But they have not been able to change everything.

You are co-creators. Even the fallen beings are co-creators, even though they think they are not. Therefore there are certain things you cannot override. The Ma-ter light is a very complex matrix of the creative effort of both the ascended masters and unascended mankind.

The purpose of music

Question: What is the purpose of music? How does it relate to the fifth ray and its attributes?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

We have given other teachings about music, so here I will just give a very short teaching that gives you a certain perspective. The purpose of music is to move energy. Music can move energy in an upwards direction or in a downwards direction. In other words, it can raise the vibration of the energy, which can pull your mind upwards as you listen to the music, or it can lower the vibration of the energy, which can pull your mind downwards. Much music in the world, even what has become popular music, is designed specifically under the guidance of the fallen beings to draw the energies down and therefore draw people down.

Some music draws the energy down into the base chakra, creates chaos in the base chakra and causes many people to be pulled into extreme forms of behavior, such as sexual behavior or other forms of wild partying or whatever you call it. Some music, of course, lifts you up so that when you listen to it, you are having an uplifting experience.

However, when you come to the higher levels of the spiritual path, music will have less and less of an impact on you. You can listen to some of the syncopated music, and your energies will not be pulled down. You can listen to what many people call uplifting music, and your energies will not be pulled up. You do not need music to pull your energies up because you can go within your heart, tune in to your I AM Presence or the ascended masters and listen, either to what is coming from us or simply listen to stillness.

You realize that the world is very noisy. It is a very noisy place. Music, therefore, can be for some people a refuge to withdraw from the noise of the world by focusing on another type of noise. But when you reach a certain level of neutrality in your mind, where you are not pulled into identification with the world, then silence can be much more enjoyable and peaceful to you than any kind of sound, including the most uplifting music. Basically, there comes a point where you transcend the need for music.

The 2020s is the decade dedicated to the situation of women 

Question: Since the year 2013 there is for each year one ray to study, as we started with the first ray. Last year was a year of freedom, the seventh ray. What kind of initiation is for this year, the year of integration of the seven rays?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

We have not decided to dedicate this year to a specific ray because we want to focus in the next ten years on the situation of women. You can, if you want to, go on and study the eighth ray for this year, but we have not officially dedicated the entire planetary growth to being associated with this particular ray.

How to develop discernment and intuition

Question: This is a personal question for Kim. Considering intuition, what tips or techniques can you share about reading the vibration of people/things/ideas? How do we attune to this and make it better?

Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, that is a tough question because there is no mechanical way to develop discernment or intuition. It comes from two things mainly: resolution of psychology, where you resolve some separate selves that block your intuition, and then also striving to be in a neutral state of mind. But those two are, of course, very much connected. You cannot be neutral if you have a separate self that pulls you into looking at things a certain way.

What you can do is work on your psychology, use the tools the masters have given, but you can also be aware that the only way to really have attunement and to increase your intuition is to be completely neutral. With that I mean you are open to whatever comes to you. You are not having some process in your outer mind, especially in the emotional or in the mental mind, that wants a certain answer.

If you have the slightest kind of that overlay of wanting a certain answer, a certain result, then you are not neutral, and then your intuition will not be accurate. Your discernment will not really be discernment.

You can have people, and I have met people who claimed that they had gone through a certain process of discernment, but it was clear to me that they had a certain overlay. Many of them wanted to see a certain result. As a result, they believed that their intuition had told them what they wanted to hear. They were convinced that the result was the result of their intuition and their discernment, but I would say it was the result of a particular overlay where they wanted a particular result.

When I was younger, I also can see today that I had a certain overlay. There were certain things that I wanted to hear, or there were certain teachings I was not ready to question, and then my intuition was not as good as it could be. So it is important to keep that in mind.

So many people in the world, many spiritual people, they go to astrologers, they go to psychics, they get a reading of this and a reading of that. It is because they want validation that either they are special or they are important or what they are doing is right and they should continue to do it. So if you want validation of an already held belief, you are not open to intuition. You are basically saying to your intuition: “Leave me alone. I do not want the truth. I want validation of what I already believe.”  That is not discernment.

Discernment is you are being completely neutral. You have no preconceived opinions about this or that. I can see that sometimes I have. Let me give you a concrete example.

Many, many years ago, I had just heard about the ascended masters’ teachings in the Summit Lighthouse, and I had intuitively sensed that there was something there for me. Then I met a person who was also in the Summit Lighthouse, but she was also a follower of Sathya Sai Baba. At the time I had heard nothing about Sai Baba. I did not know anything about him, never ever heard of him. But one day, she pulled me into a room where she was doing her decrees, and then she took this picture and stuck it out in front of me and said: “Oh, this is Baba.” She expected that I would have some kind of reaction to him: “Oh, he must be a spiritual master or something.” That was what she wanted.

But I was completely neutral. I had no idea who this person was. I just took one look at the picture, and I almost felt like physically my whole body and my four lower bodies withdrew from him because I sensed such a darkness from this picture. As I said, I was just neutral. I was just open. I had no sense that he should be or he should not be. I did not care. I did not have a preconceived answer I wanted. So that was a very accurate intuition, and I have had that many other times.

Sometimes I can pick up a book, and I can just sense whether this book has a higher vibration or a lower vibration. Other times I could have a certain preconceived opinion about a certain author, and then I could not get an accurate reading of it. Then I would go into evaluating with my outer mind. And you can evaluate, you can have a certain evaluation, with the outer mind. You can apply certain logical, rational things and say: “Does this really make sense? Does this really sound true?” You can say, for example: “Is it true that a person claims to be God in embodiment? Does this really make sense?”

But if you want just an accurate intuitive reading, you have to be neutral. Then if you are neutral, you will get it, and it will not be in words, you know. It will just be a sensation. It was like this with Sai Baba, his picture there. It was not that any words came to me: “He is a false teacher.” It was just a sense of wanting to withdraw even from the picture, not even wanting to look at the picture, not wanting to take in his energy, his vibration.

Some people need a physical guru

Question: Dear ascended masters, I connect to your teachings mostly via my intuition, and it recognizes and rejoices in the truth and beauty of the dictations. But I must be honest. I sometimes miss the realm of being that comes through a spiritual teacher that can mirror my I AM Presence back to me just by being around them. Usually I recognize the Christ mind in myself and others through the emanation of peace and love, and it is impossible not to feel the energy field of someone who is deeply established in that. How can it be that I cannot feel the divine energy coming through when you give a dictation? You are more established in divinity than anyone on earth. I am always sensitive to that. At that moment I am aligned with the river and in the same room. I just do not get it. I really feel that this exchanging of light is what can connect me with my I AM Presence more than any higher knowledge ever could. I want to feel it in my bones.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

People are very different. Not only are they in different levels of awareness, but they are also different in their individuality. The question is: What opens the mind and heart of a particular person to experience something that is beyond that person’s level of consciousness? There are some people who need a physical guru in order to experience this. They need to meet a physical person who has a higher level of consciousness than they do, and then they are able to shift their minds and open their minds to a flow of energy from beyond the person. That is why there are physical gurus, that is why Jesus took physical embodiment, and so on.

But there are also people who can do this through a dictation, through reading a dictation, through giving a decree or an invocation, or there are people who can do this without these outer means, but simply by attuning their consciousness to us. It is just a matter of where you are at. If you need a physical guru, make use of one if you know one that gives you that feeling. But otherwise continue to use the teachings, resolve the separate selves, work on your psychology, and there will come a point where you can feel it through our dictations as well. Many people obviously already feel it, or they would not continue to come back and experience it.

Duality is not associated with or dependent on space

Question: I want to talk about duality, not in the sense of good and bad, but in the sense of space. Sometimes I am able to dissolve the distance between me and the things I perceive, objectification, and I see that all happens in the space that I AM. There is also me distancing myself from experience by dissociation and the dissolution of that, when I experienced that all that is in me, is also me as consciousness. There are a lot of teachings about how we can go beyond time by living in the eternal now. What teaching helps us dissolve the illusion of space further?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Duality has nothing to do with space as such. Duality is not associated with or dependent on space. Space is not in itself inherently dualistic. It is clear that space can, in a certain sense, encourage duality because space gives you the experience of being a localized being who is seeing everything from a certain vantage point in space, even a certain physical location, as you turn around and look in a 360-degree circle around your physical body.

This can give you the sense that: “This is me, and this is something else. This is outside of me.” This can then make you more susceptible to the dualistic teachings, but duality is based on defining two opposite polarities and adding a value judgment. In space itself there is no value judgment. We have given, especially Gautama has given, various teachings about space, and you can simply look up these dictations and study them, and those are the teachings that can help you gain a different perspective on space.

Who holds the office of the Lord of the World? 

Question: One ascended master group claims that Lord Maitreya became Lord of the World about a year ago, at a ceremony at the Royal Teton retreat, on July 4. Would you like to comment?

Answer from the Ascended Master Gautama through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

I AM the Ascended Master Gautama Buddha, and I am still Lord of the World. I am still holding the office as Lord of the World. There is, of course, a certain progression where, from time to time, an ascended master who has held a certain spiritual office will move on from that office, perhaps move to a higher office associated with earth, perhaps move beyond earth, and then another master will move up and take over that office. This happens, but it does not happen that often. And certainly I have promised Saint Germain to remain Lord of the World until we are so far into the golden age that it is beginning to be in physical manifestation. I may hold that office for the rest of the Age of Aquarius if Saint Germain wants me to. I may move on, and if I move on, then Maitreya would be the natural master to move into that office.

How to live without making karma 

Question: The universal law of karma is the natural companion of free will. We are responsible for the light we receive. Therefore if we misqualify the light, we must requalify it back. For Most of us, entangled in the duality consciousness, we usually consider that all our karma comes from the wrong decisions we make through the duality consciousness, through the mind of antichrist. But what about when we make the shift of consciousness and identify with the Conscious You and become gradually united with the I AM Presence, free for the most part of the ego structure? We cannott say we no longer make karma because we continue to have free will. So what can cause karma for a being that is in the higher stages of Christhood, and what can make karma for an ascended being?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, first of all, we have said before that an ascended master does not make karma as you make karma on earth. You can, as an ascended master, develop certain conditions that either makes you attached to a certain planet or makes you need to move on from a planet to avoid becoming attached, but this is not karma.

What people normally mean when they say that we are making karma is something you make from the dualistic state of consciousness, from a separate self. This makes karma, misqualifies energy, but you need to be careful to realize that the Hindu idea that karma is associated with action is not the full explanation. Dualistic actions lead to karma. Non-dualistic actions do not lead to karma. They do not even lead to positive karma. In fact, you could say that, in a higher understanding of karma, the distinction between positive and negative karma is meaningless because any karma, regardless of what actions caused it, will tie you to earth and thereby prevent your ascension.

What happens is that when you begin to attain Christhood, you can take actions where you are not making karma the way you did through a dualistic self. You may still have certain dualistic selves, and if you act through them, you can make karma that way. But when you are not acting through a dualistic self, you are not making karma.

You are taking an action, but you are not misqualifying energy with fear. If you take the action without fear, and if you look at the result of your action without fear, you are not misqualifying energy with a lower vibration. It is perfectly possible to be in embodiment on earth and be so free from the dualistic mind that you are not acting through fear and you are not evaluating your actions through fear. Therefore you will not qualify energy with a lower vibration. You will qualify it with a love-based vibration, which, as we have talked about before, means that the energy will rise up in the figure-eight flow between your I AM Presence and your lower being, and as it rises up, it will be multiplied and given back to you so you have more creative energy.

This is something that is a very subtle teaching that can be difficult for many people to understand, and I foresee that many people will misinterpret the teaching from the linear mind. But the reality is that you can come to a point where the actions you take will actually serve to help you become more free and more creative. This does not mean that these actions are necessarily the highest or the ideal according to some spiritual standard or evaluation.

You can take some action sometimes that may seem to be selfish, but because you are not in a dualistic state of mind, because you are not acting out of fear, you are not misqualifying energy. You can take certain actions that have the purpose, for example, of giving you a certain experience that you desire to have on earth. It might seem that you are being selfish, but if you are doing it to fulfill a certain desire, so you can have fulfilled that desire to the degree where you can let go of that desire, then it can be part of your spiritual growth, even part of your divine plan.

For example, having children can be a legitimate spiritual desire, and it does not mean that you make karma for having children, even if you once in a while get irritated or overwhelmed by what you have to do. You can pursue a certain career, a certain job. You can even pursue certain material goals because it is a legitimate desire to experience something. You can then feel you have had enough of it and let go of it.

You might know that we have given teachings that there is a realm that some souls go to after the physical body dies, called Devachan, which is the realm of wish fulfillment, where you can live out certain desires until you have had enough of them. You can therefore let go and you do not have to reincarnate in an incarnation that is dominated by that desire. You will see in Yogananda’s book how he gives an example of how he had an experience of his master manifesting a palace for him because he had a desire to have such a palace, and by having it manifest, not physically but nevertheless in a tangible manifestation that he could experience, he was able to let go of the desire without having to have it physically, which would have prevented him from becoming a spiritual teacher in this lifetime.

Spiritual perspective on famine and starvation

Question: What does physical starvation mirror from the condition of the three higher minds? 3.1 million, or 5% of the 60 million total deaths each year, are from child malnutrition. What causes the soul to embody in a situation where starvation is likely? Is starvation mostly caused by the greed of fallen beings, or what is the spiritual component? Are these many souls starving for some sort of connection with their higher selves?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, the issue of starvation is complex and has various causes, but one of the main reasons behind it all is, of course, the inequality created by the fallen beings. They have always attempted to set themselves up as a privileged elite that is enslaving the majority of the population.

Now the fallen beings have been retreating, in the sense that in many of the more modern countries people are no longer starving because they have had to give some more wealth to the general population. But you still have this imbalance on a world scale, where there are nations that are behind the others. You see that, as you had in the feudal societies of medieval Europe, you have a privileged elite and a poor majority of the population.

So now you have certain countries that are the privileged elite in the world, and other countries where many people are still starving. This is partly as a result of this manipulation of the fallen beings. It is also partly a result of the fact that the people in the modern democracies have not awakened themselves to what I call the basic humanity and said: “Would we accept that children in our country were starving to death? Then why are we accepting that people in India or Bangladesh are starving to death?”

But you can also look at this from the perspective of the soul. What has happened over a very long time span, since the fallen beings began to embody on planet Earth, is that they have caused these very chaotic conditions. There have been wars, wars have created famine, they have caused the imbalanced emotions which have affected weather conditions that have caused famine. You have seen many of these conditions that have caused people to either live in poverty or even starve to death, or watch their children starve to death. Sometimes, this has been caused deliberately as you saw Stalin causing the famine in Ukraine.

So what you have is a large number of souls that for many lifetimes have experienced these conditions. This has caused them to have partly what we have called hatred of the Mother, but even just a distrust that the Mother is willing to nurture them. In their minds they have created this schism, this gap, where they dare not trust that the Mother wants to nurture them. They dare not trust that they live in a friendly universe because they have experienced so often that they do not live on a friendly planet.

Of course, because of the manipulation of the fallen beings, there have been many epochs of this Earth where it has not been a friendly planet to be on. So it is understandable that people have these conditions in their psychology, in their three higher bodies, and unfortunately it is not an easy thing to correct.

It could really begin to be corrected if these people saw that people in other countries cared about them and were willing to help them. It could also be corrected when the economy in these countries improves so that people begin to believe: “Yes, I can have a job, and I don’t need to ever starve again, and my children don’t need to grow up having too little food, being malnourished.”

So this can gradually happen, and it has already happened in some of what used to be called third world countries, but there is a long ways to go.

It is clearly the hope of us that people in the Western countries will wake up and realize that it is their responsibility to use their affluence, it is their opportunity to use their affluence, to reach out to these people.

The unfortunate fact is that on an unnatural planet whatever you project will reinforce itself and become more and more extreme until you realize that you need to change your attitude before the outer conditions can truly change. That is why you see today, you see in history, so many times where the Divine Mother has been forced to outpicture these very unpleasant conditions until people finally reached that shift where they started looking at themselves and what they could do, regardless of outer conditions.

This is something that you who are ascended master students can hold a vision for, you can make the calls for if you feel moved to it, but there are, of course, many other things to make the calls for. So we do not want you to feel overwhelmed.

Why Iran needs an external enemy 

Question: Iran has recently increased their military activity and is clearly acting out in a provocative way to other world governments. Is Iran being threatened by the US? Are people in power acting out more to the extreme their consciousness and are not willing to let go of the warrior mentality? Or what else is behind this?

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, Iran has been acting out for a very long time. We have said this before, that when you have what is essentially a dictatorship, which in this case is a religious, Muslim fundamentalist dictatorship, they need an outer enemy. The situation they are in is very simple. They have almost complete power to do anything in Iran that they can do. They have promised, of course, to bring basically an ideal Islamic state to Iran, with a flourishing economy where everybody has a good job and has enough money, but anybody can see that this promise has not been fulfilled. Since they have all power in the country, how can they explain this?

Well, they can explain it by saying there is this external enemy, this great Satan of America, which is interfering with our country, manipulating our country, and they are the ones that are responsible for our failure to do what we actually have, or say we have, the power to do. It is the same in many other countries around the world. You see here that this is the basic dynamic.

Now the reality is, of course, that Iran has isolated itself from the rest of the world, and if you look at the world, you will see that what has brought prosperity to a large part of the world is increased cooperation and trade. Iran cannot create a thriving economy as an autonomous unit. It can only create a thriving economy by trading with the rest of the world, like the most affluent countries are doing. But what prevents Iran from trading with the rest of the world? Well, partly the Islamic fundamentalist attitude and beliefs, so the very government which promises one thing will, by their fundamentalist attitude, prevent that promise from being fulfilled. This is what can cause the government to become more and more panicked and therefore wanting to create some confrontation with the outside world.

It is why the dictator in North Korea on a regular basis must pretend that there is some conflict with South Korea or the United States or whatever. That is the way it has always been with dictators or dictatorships, and there is nothing new under the sun here.

Now it is, of course, important, as Gautama said in the beginning of the year, that this does not cause the United States government to go into the extreme and create a confrontation as a diversion for this election. You already see now that President Trump is feeling the heat, so to speak, because all opinion polls say that he is not going to be reelected, and he is also reaching a certain level of desperation for what he can do to still be elected as President. As Gautama pointed out, the Americans might be more reluctant to elect a new President if there is some kind of war situation. So you need to make the calls that this does not become a physical reality because you can see here that both the Iranian government and the American government have these elements in them that want some kind of confrontation as a diversionary tactic.

Poland and the European Union

Question: What is the reason behind Poland withdrawing from the European Convention, which aims to protect women against all forms of violence and prevent, prosecute and eliminate violence against women and domestic violence? Turkey is also considering this. Has the conference for liberating women had enough of an impact on the collective consciousness to raise the consciousness of the people? What can the masters say about the situation?

Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Well, Poland is one of these countries that exemplify where the European Union is at right now. The European Union is sort of at a crossroads, and the crossroads is simply brought about by the fact that some of the larger nations in Europe are at a point where they have the potential to make the transition from being focused on: “What can Europe do for me?” and shifting to: “What can we do for Europe?”

Germany has passed this point. France has to some degree. Britain obviously never passed the point, which is why they have now Brexited. Some of the smaller countries have also passed this point. But Poland is an example of a country that has not yet done this. Poland has swung backwards to become more nationalistic with this new government that has now been in power for some time. They are therefore in this no man’s land of not really knowing what they want to do with their own future because the Polish government right now fails to grasp the vision of the European community.

Therefore they cannot really see the positive potential of Poland remaining in and fully engaging in the EU. At the same time, this government has no clear vision of what would happen if Poland withdrew from the EU, as, for that matter, the British government has no clear vision of what will come after Brexit. They think they can muddle their way through.

But if you look at Poland and the position it is in, it is in a fundamentally different position than Britain. Britain is an island. Okay, they are isolated. They can muddle their way through, however good or bad that will be. But Poland is not an island. It is, as its history has proven over and over again, squeezed in between two blocs, the east and the east of Europe, or rather Europe and Russia.

What will Poland do if it leaves the EU? Right now it is on a course of conflict that could lead it towards exiting the EU. What would they do? Well, if they were to exit the EU, I can assure you that before the door to the EU was even closed, Putin would be knocking on their door in the east, and he would claim he would be willing to help them. But he would have a hidden agenda that you have seen examples of during the communist times, where you were part of the Warsaw Pact and dominated by the Soviet Union, therefore dominated by Russia.

Is this what you want to reestablish in Poland? I think not. I do not think the present government wants to, but because it has this cognitive dissonance of not making clear to itself what will happen if Poland exits the EU, well, then it is not able to see the consequences of its own policy and therefore not able to change them.

Now I know the question was about this European treaty to limit domestic violence. But this is just one example of how Poland has put itself outside of the upward movement of the rest of Europe. Therefore you cannot look at this as an isolated incident. In fact, this is not about women and domestic violence. This is about the current Polish government not having clarified what its policy really is, and therefore it is reacting almost in a panic against anything that it thinks goes against its own policy.

This is, of course, because the collective consciousness in Poland is still affected by the history, the long history, of Poland, where the country has been so divided by many different groups, first being dominated by this larger power, then that larger power, then at a point itself being a large power, having ambitions of becoming an empire and so on. You have these divisions in the country that have a major influence on the fact that the Polish people have elected this government and now re-elected the president that is in alignment with this government and therefore have not clarified for themselves: “What do we want in terms of our relationship with Europe?”

Now it is clear to me, when you look at history, that it would be far, far better for Poland to be an engaged member of the European community than to stand outside of it. Far, far better. Therefore what needs to happen is that the Polish people, at least a critical mass of them, also become aware of this. You can see from the latest presidential election how the vote was quite close between the sitting president and the incumbent president. There are many people who are aware of this. There are many people who know that Poland’s future lies with and in Europe. But there are not enough people who have realized that if this is the case, then you cannot maintain the current government. A change is needed.

Naturally, the webinar, the conference about women, did not have enough of an impact in itself to change the political equation in Poland because it was focused on changing the equation for women. There is a need for people who are concerned about the situation to make the calls on this. Use our tools and invocations, also speak out about this as you can, and then a change will gradually happen. I am fairly confident that Poland will not leave the EU. Nevertheless the question is how far, how close to the brink, do they need to have to come before they see that this is not the way forward.

Question about Romania

Question: I have a question about Romania. What can you say about this country? Is this country in decline, or is it following the usual line through which it has survived over the centuries? What can you say about the fallen beings from this country, their degree of manipulation and the level of ignorance of the Romanians? What is the potential for transcending and entering the road to Saint Germain’s Golden Age?

 Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

Romania is one of a group of countries that, even though they are in Europe and part of, most of them, the European community, they are not really what we can call modern democracies.

There are complex reasons for this, but the main reason is that the collective consciousness has not been raised to a certain level. That is partly because in some of these countries there is a large group of people who are still so bound by tradition, trapped in, we might say, tradition, thinking that things have to be done a certain way and there is a certain mindset that has to be maintained. The reality is that these countries are actually on the road towards the golden age, and the more they become affiliated with Europe and the EU, the more they are pulled up by the other nations. This is one of the strengths of the European Union, that some of the more advanced countries pull up on the others. Even though this is not generally recognized, it is actually what is happening.

Now it is clear that there is still a lot of resistance to this in the collective consciousness because, as I said, many people are still so trapped in tradition. You can see this in the way they do farming and the traditional dresses, weddings, dances, rituals, their adherence to the church and so on. This is a resistance, and therefore I understand your question of whether the country is in decline or is actually moving upwards.

It is true that the majority of the people in the country just want to continue the pattern they have been in for so long, and they think they can survive this way, as they have done now for so long. But, of course, they cannot survive in the golden age, in the modern age even, unless there is change, and there is already some change. This is driven by a small minority, what we might call the top ten percent of the people in that nation, some of them in business, some of them not necessarily, particularly, in a high level of consciousness, but more focused on driving business for themselves. But they are still driving a change, where the economy is improving, and there are other jobs than the traditional jobs and farming and what have you. The country is, in my view, not in decline. There may be ups and downs, there may be resistance, but the country is slowly and gradually being pulled up by the rest of Europe.

In terms of the fallen beings, well, the country is not a country that has any particular power or position on the world scale, and that means it is not interesting to the more, we might call them, high-ranking fallen beings. They are not interested in Romania and many other smaller countries, which is an advantage for these countries because it means that they are more free from some of the more insidious forms of manipulation.

But, of course, there are fallen beings in the country, and they attempt to do what they always do, set themselves up as a privileged elite, not only in the physical but even in the emotional and mental, who can steal people’s energy, and they do not want the equation to change. They are also a driving force behind this unwillingness to change, this belief that you have to maintain tradition. Can something be done about it? Yes, if more people would use our tools and make the calls for it, then certainly something could be done. But unless you see a growth in the number of ascended master students, then you simply have to be patient and wait for these countries to be pulled up by the rest of Europe. This is happening, but it will take time, decades, as a matter of fact, before they come up near the level of what you see in other European nations.

Having vs. experiencing emotions 

Question: Are our feelings of emotions such as happiness, anger, anxiety or sadness a result of a separate self? In other words, do we have emotions because of a separate self?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar – Being the Divine Mother.

You do not have emotions because of a separate self. The separate self has emotions, and if you identify yourself with or as the separate self, you are experiencing these emotions. I know the common saying is that you are having an emotion, but you are not. You as the Conscious You are not having an emotion. You are experiencing an emotion.

Now it is not that you as a Conscious You cannot experience certain emotions, but that would be emotions that are not dualistic. In other words, they have no opposite. The Buddha talked about bliss, which some people have interpreted to mean extreme happiness, but it is not actually. It is an emotion that is beyond the dualistic opposites such as happiness and unhappiness, anger, hatred, all of these fear-based feelings and all of the feelings that could be said to have an opposite. All of these opposable feelings, dualistic feelings, feelings that can be put into what the Buddha called the pairs, they are feelings that a separate self is having. When you are not aware of the separate self and you have not experienced yourself as pure awareness, when you have not separated yourself from a separate self, then you think you are having the emotion. You feel you are having the emotion, but in reality you are not, and the key here is for the Conscious You to become aware of this.

It does not mean that you will necessarily overcome all separate selves, or that you have to overcome all separate selves, but you can come to an awareness where you realize that you are more than the separate self. Therefore when you are having a certain feeling, you realize: “Oh, this is a separate self that’s having this feeling, but I am more than this separate self.” It does not mean you can instantly get rid of the separate self. The separate self may still have a feeling.

Let us say you experienced some very dramatic situation where something happens that is unpleasant to the separate self, that the separate self thought should not happen. The separate self has a certain emotion because of this, but you can realize that you are not the separate self, and therefore even though the emotion is there in your emotional body, you are not pulled into it. You are not identified with it. You are not experiencing the feeling from the outside. You are not inside this, we might say, glass container filled with water that is colored by the emotion. You are not drowning in the emotion. You are standing outside. You are seeing that there is this container with water that is swirling around and the water is colored by a certain emotion. But you can just allow it to be an emotion. You do not need to react to it.

This means you can break that spiral of emotions where in many cases, when you have a traumatic situation that happens, one self reacts to the situation with some emotion: “Oh, this shouldn’t have happened.” Another self then goes in and feels anger or regret or blames you for doing what you did or not doing what you did not do. All of a sudden there is this spiral that runs and runs and runs, where these separate selves are sort of activating each other, and your entire awareness is pulled into this, and you cannot pull yourself out of it.

But when you come to the recognition that you are not the separate self, you can allow these emotions to just be there, but they are not taking over your mind. You can actually step outside of your emotional body, perhaps step up to the mental, perhaps even to the identity, and you are just experiencing these emotions from the outside rather than from the inside, which makes it much, much more bearable for you.

What determines the place the fallen beings are in? 

Question: During the Mother Mary 500 vigil of this year, each time I read these lines: “Divine Director shatter the energy veil and expose the existence of fallen beings in the astral plane that started out as either co-creators or angels in a previous sphere.” Or this line: “Divine Director, shatter the energy veil and expose that the fallen beings in the mental realm have taken on an appearance as professors, learned people or philosophers.” Then I start to wonder what exactly determines the place the fallen beings are in. In one case they take physical embodiment in other cases they stay in the three higher planes. Why does the astral plane belong to a higher octave if there are beings there who reached the lowest point?

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar- Being the Divine Mother.

Basically, it is the consciousness of a fallen being that determines where it will end up. There are some fallen beings who have started to grow gradually, so that they do not need to be in physical embodiment. There are also some fallen beings who have manipulated themselves in a position where they do not want to take physical embodiment and they are allowed to be in that position, because they can still teach people on earth certain lessons. That is why you have the dark master in the lower etheric or identity realm. You have others that have manipulated them into the mental realm and are controlling the intellectuals who are in embodiment.

Now, in terms of the astral plane. It is correct that the astral plane is part of the emotional octave. And in the way we normally explain this, the lowest in vibration is the physical, and then comes the emotional, mental and identity. Yet the reality here is that, after the fallen beings started embodying on this planet, some of them committed such physical acts that they were no longer allowed, for a variety of reasons, to return to physical embodiment.

Therefore a place had to be created for these life streams, so they could still be associated with the earth for a time. In fact, this realm had already started to be created by humankind before the fallen beings arrived here. Because there were certain people who had committed such physical acts, that it would be very difficult for them to go directly back into physical embodiment. They, so to speak, needed a place where they could stay for a time before they went back into a physical embodiment.

Being that the emotional realm is more fluid than the physical realm, there was a realm, a part of the emotional realm that was set aside for these life streams that were in such a low state of consciousness that it could not return to physical embodiment. But they really were not ready to be in the higher realms of the emotional octave. So a lower realm was created.

I know it can be difficult to envision this with a linear mind. Because you tend to think that if the physical plane is the lowest of the four realms, then it should have the lowest vibration. But you need to recognize here that there is a difference between physical energy and emotional, mental, identity level energy. In other words, the physical energy can only vibrate within a certain spectrum. But the emotional energy can vibrate within a broader, a wider spectrum than the physical. That is why it is possible to create a realm of the emotional realm that is much lower than the rest of the emotional realm.

What you understand here is this: the model we have given you is that the energy flows from the spiritual realm, into the identity, into the mental, into the emotional and into the physical. This process is still going on, but this has nothing to do with the astral plane. The astral plane is a separate compartment of the emotional realm, and the energy does not have to flow through it to enter the physical. It is simply in order to create this sphere where certain life streams of the original life streams on earth can go and where some of the fallen beings can go before they are ready to come back.

You also have several periods in the earth where the population has been much lower than it is today. You will see this even in recorded history. At that point, many of the lifestreams that cannot have a physical body need to go somewhere else. And depending on their level of awareness, they can go in the identity, mental and emotional level, but some with a lower consciousness go into the astral plane. And when they are there, they still have an opportunity to grow. But they also have the opportunity, of course, to reinforce their mindset. And this is what has created different levels, or rungs of the astral plane, that go towards lower and lower levels.

Meaning of the name of Shambhala

Question: For a long time, I had a question what the word “Shambhala” really means, and recently I had an inspiration: I saw that it was necessary to write «Shambhallah» and that it means «Shambhu Allah». Did I realize correctly? «Shambhu» in Sanskrit means “gracious, merciful”, so it means “Merciful God”?  Then, it is generally believed that the word “Allah” comes from “Al-Ilah” or “Al-Eloh” and simply means “God” (or “this God”). But in the Arabic language, there is also the word “Al-Lahut” – a very capacious concept in mystical Islam, but it can be briefly expressed by the word “Divinity”, or “Divine nature”, in the teachings of Suhrawardi – “Holy Spirit”, “Divine Light”. Is Shambhu Allah the true meaning of the word “Shambhala”? 

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2020 Webinar- Being the Divine Mother.

Well, again, a very complicated intellectual question. But the short answer is that ‘Shambhala’ does not have anything to do with the God Allah in the Quran. Shambhala predates the teachings of the Quran. It was a word that Sanat Kumara used when he came with 144,000 from Venus and started the retreat over the Gobi Desert.
