Question: Is it possible that ascended masters or angels occasionally step in and help in the physical world while still honoring our free will? As a child, I sometimes read stories about people being rescued in ways that would not really be explained, and it made me wonder whether these moments are orchestrated. What factors would influence something like that? In other words, do miracles happen and what is the criteria?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 Lithuania Conference.
Well, you can take the question and go back and say, did Jesus actually walk on water? Did he heal the sick? Did he raise the dead? Did he calm the storm? And as we have said before, that in previous ages, where the collective consciousness was denser, many people needed to see actual events that defied their view of the world, that challenged their view of the world, their view of what could or could not happen. That is why Jesus was allowed to actually manifest such phenomena. And even though the description in the scriptures cannot be taken completely literally, Jesus did do things that could not be explained by what you today call the laws of nature.
And these things are still happening today, but they are not as frequent as they were. But you have many stories of people who were in an accident or in a difficult situation, and something happened that could not be explained by a normal world view, and they survived, they were rescued, they were healed, this and that.
These things do happen. What are the criteria that influence this? Well, that is a very, very complex topic because it involves many different things. First of all, the people’s state of consciousness. It does not have to be high. In fact, it rarely is high for those who experience these kinds of things. And this may seem contradictory, but it is again because the lower people’s consciousness, the more they need to see these kinds of things.
You could say that, in connection with my answer given about apparitions of Mother Mary, you could say that there is always a certain descent of spiritual light through the identity, mental, emotional level. And in certain cases, that light descends to the physical, produces an effect that is beyond the physical laws of nature, as you call them. But you will recall St. Germain’s talk about alchemy, that these physical laws are not set in stone. This manifests as a certain phenomenon. And now the question is how the people who experience it actually conceptualize it. And they do this based on whatever their worldview is. The purpose of allowing this to happen is that there are still people who are in such a low state of consciousness that they need to believe that miracles can happen. You can also say that, in a more general way, it is so that people will still question whether the laws of nature are as set in stone as materialists claim. But why does it happen to one person and not another in a similar situation? Well, now we are going into the very complex equation of people’s individual karma. And that is a topic that is too far beyond what I want to go into here. Because you really do not need to know all the intricacies of how the Karmic Board manages this exceptionally complex karmic equation that you have on an unnatural planet.
The simple answer really is that with the human mind, the human level of consciousness, the linear mind, you will never be able to understand this. What people are looking for when they ask these questions is often some rational explanation. And with rational we mean something that is universal that would apply to everybody. Give me a criteria—meaning anybody who fulfills that criteria should experience a miracle. But that is not the way it works. It is so individual, so complex, that you cannot give a rational, linear explanation for why that person was rescued, whereas the other 500 people on the ship that sank all drowned.
