Question: I am asking the masters to comment on neutrality, reactivity and speaking out. I have often not spoken out because I felt I was being reactive rather than holding neutrality. Can the masters explain how to hold neutrality speaking out and reactivity in balance with Christ consciousness?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 American webinar.
It is indeed wise to monitor your reactions in situations where you are either speaking out or attempting to speak out and see if you are not neutral. There may be situations where it is wiser to then not speak out because you sense you are not neutral. But on the other hand, you can also take another approach and say: “Well, I will speak out. I will look at the reactions of others. I will look at my own reactions and I will see if this helps me see something in my psychology that I have not seen”.
Basically, the way to be neutral is to overcome the separate selves because it is the separate selves that pull you into reacting. Separate selves are reactionary selves. Anytime you are reacting, you can basically assume there is a separate self behind it. That is why I am saying that by speaking out and then seeing how you react, well, you have an opportunity to expose a separate self. And if you keep doing this, you will come to the point where neutrality is not something you try to force. It is just a natural effect of not having the separate selves that pull you into a reaction.
We can say that neutrality is the natural state. It is a natural follow-on, a natural result of attaining Christ consciousness. And it is the separate selves that force you into a reaction. You cannot force yourself out of reaction. You can only resolve the self. You cannot force yourself into neutrality. You can stop forcing yourself out of neutrality and you will naturally go into it. This, of course, requires also that you come to a point where you realize that whenever you have strong opinions or whenever you feel a strong desire to convince others, this is again coming from separate selves. You have to make the decision as a Conscious You that you are willing to be neutral, that you do not have to convince other people.
And this requires you to get to that point where, as we have talked about, you are not speaking out in order to get other people to react a certain way because you are not seeking to get validation from other people. You are not seeking to change your own state of mind by changing other people’s state of mind. When you overcome these separate selves, then you will naturally be neutral. It will be effortless to be neutral. There is no amount of effort that can produce neutrality.
