Question: After experiencing the Presence, I began studying depth psychology and have been on this path for 10 years. Five of those years, I have been working specifically with my cosmic birth trauma. Recently, I had a spontaneous experience of a temporary dissolution of my personality. After this, a question arose. If the process of ascension has truly begun, what will happen to my children, my mother and my loved ones? At the same time, I feel a desire to enter into a committed partnership. I am a practicing psychologist and have developed a methodology that accelerates the psychotherapeutic process. My plans include creating a retreat center, a clinic and a school, with the possibility of expanding internationally to contribute to the renewal of the psychotherapy system by integrating meditation, body-based practices and more effective professional training. Over the past three years, I have experienced intense spiritual attacks despite inner preparation. There remains a fear of stepping onto the broader stage. My questions are, is this aligned with my Divine plan, and how can I recognize that? How can I avoid holding myself back from realizing that I have consciously been moving forward? And how can one reconcile the path of ascension with outer world manifestation and achievement?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 Kazakhstan Conference.
First of all, you have to recognize that the experience you have of a dissolution of part of your personality does not mean that the ascension process has begun. This is part of what it means to overcome subconscious selves. This can happen as a very gradual process, but some people experience a more abrupt shift where it can feel as if part of your personality has dissolved, or even all of your outer personality has dissolved. This messenger a few years ago went through this sense as if he was a nobody. He had no opinions, no personality left. This is just a temporary phase, though, and there will come a point where you develop a higher sense of self, a higher sense of identity, based on the individuality of your I AM Presence. What happens is that the outer personality can be dissolved, but then you can lock into the individuality in your Presence. You do not need to say: “Oh, I cannot go on with my professional development because what if I am taken out of embodiment and ascend?” That is not a realistic evaluation. You need to continue to hold the image that you will have time left in your Divine plan to begin these activities.
Now, all people who step up to Christhood will feel some opposition, some projections from lower forces, from specific other people that are close to them or from the mass consciousness. That is just inevitable. It is so to speak the cost of doing business as a Christed being. This is just to be expected and dealt with. But it is, of course, a sign that you are getting so close to Christhood that you are being seen as a threat by the dark forces. And this is an indication to you that you are approaching the level where you are ready to step forward.
How can you know whether it is time to step out publicly? Well, you can only know from within, and you can only know intuitively. What we can say is that when you are at that point, the question: “Am I ready?” fades away. The fact that you are asking an external source this question shows that you are not quite there. Why are you not quite there? Because you have some separate selves that are blocking you, that are seeking to give you an excuse. You need to use your background in psychology, our teachings about the subconscious selves, to just deal with this last hurdle. And when you shift and see those selves and see them for what they are, the question: “Is it time to start?” will just fade away. It will be obsolete.
