Question: Despite the ascended master’s recent teachings on the subconscious selves, I find it very difficult to find my subconscious self. How can we make it easier to find a subconscious self and how can we uncover the causes or beliefs behind it?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.
Well, we have attempted to make it as easy as possible especially with the tools given in the book Healing Your Spiritual Traumas, but also in many other teachings that are freely available.
Really there is no mechanical way to make this easier, because as we have explained – it is a matter of you coming to see something that you do not see right now and that the self does not want you to see. Really, it all revolves around one thing, your willingness to look at yourself. And you may say with the outer mind: “Oh, I am willing to look at myself”, but in many cases that is not correct. You still have a subconscious resistance. Now you understand here, I hope, that there will always be resistance from the self. It does not want to be exposed because it wants to survive and it can only survive if it stays hidden from you. But you, even the Conscious You, can have a certain resistance to coming to see something in yourself or even a resistance to looking inside yourself instead of projecting that the problem is out there. Some people have such a momentum from past lives of believing in this outer path that you can be saved without looking at your psychology, that it takes time for you, it takes work to work with yourself consciously to shift into the point where you really are willing.
And the same goes for uncovering the causes and beliefs behind the self. You can still have resistance. You can have some selves you are willing to look at and expose, but you can have others where there is a certain emotional charge where you really do not want to see that you have a certain self or a certain tendency, a certain reactionary pattern.
For example, many spiritual people have learned in past lives that on the spiritual path you are not supposed to be prideful. They have actually created a self that seeks to suppress any sense of pride. And this self will then cause you to resist seeing that you have a self that is based on pride. Therefore, it can sometimes be necessary to look at yourself and see if you have a self that resists you looking at your psychology.
In general, each specific self has a resistance to you looking for that self, but you can have certain general selves that are resisting your looking inside yourself. This is something you can apply if you feel it is difficult to come to see the selves. Apply this and see if that helps you come to see something that then opens up, so it becomes easier for you to see more specific selves.
