Question: In 2005, ascended Master El Morya, now Master MORE, discoursed on the ‘anti-mind’. Is there more to share here and now?
And there is just an excerpt here from this teaching:
“I am come to speak now on the anti-mind that is truly present in many spiritual people, even among students of the ascended masters. This is a most insidious mind and it is one of the greatest dangers to a student on the spiritual path. This mind has so many disguises that it cannot be exposed in all of its facets in one discourse.
Yet those of you who consider yourself students of El Morya need to consider how the anti-mind influences your thinking, including your thinking of what it means to be a student of the will of God and a student of the ascended masters.”
Answer from the Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Holland Conference.
Well, we have given many, many teachings since 2005 about the anti-mind. First was the ego discourses by Jesus, then our teachings about the separate selves. But what we can also say, if we tie into Mother Mary’s discourse, is that the anti-mind can be said to be the Conscious You adopts a negative view of the world, of yourself, of your relationship to the world, what it means for you to express yourself in the world. We can say that there is an anti-mind that works against what Mother Mary said, making that shift, daring to express yourself, to be yourself and actually accepting that there are people who will want this. Because the anti-mind will tell you that nobody wants you to express yourself, you should stay within the parameters of what you were brought up to see.
You can also express it in different ways and say that the anti-mind is that which works against your daring to express your individual Christhood. There is always an anti-mind that tells you, do not do this, do not do that, do not express yourself, do not think you know something that other people do not know, and these kinds of things.
But we can go deeper and talk about how there are some ascended master students who over the years will take the teachings we have given on Christhood and Christ discernment, and they will use them to build a black and white view of what Christhood is. They will think, for example, that as you increase your Christ discernment, you become able to see what is right and wrong in every issue. And they think that when you achieve Christhood, full Christhood, you are always right. And anybody who disagrees with you is always wrong. It is like they are taking the issue of Christ discernment and superimposing the dualistic view of right and wrong upon it.
And therefore, you have seen students over the many decades we have given teachings who had applied the teachings for years, who thought they had made progress on the spiritual path, and they thought they had attained at least some degree of Christhood, but they thought this meant that they were always right based on a black and white evaluation of every issue. But as we have many, many times expressed through this dispensation, this is a simplistic view of Christhood. Christhood, Christ discernment, does not mean that you are always right, and therefore, you make other people wrong. The higher you go in Christhood, the more you see the oneness behind all opinions, especially the dualistic ones. But you even see that the unity among people is far more important than you being right by making other people wrong. And therefore, you become less and less attached to these outer opinions. You become more nuanced, you become able to see every issue from a broader perspective, where it cannot be reduced to right and wrong, black and white.
It does not mean you become a gray thinker. It means you step beyond the whole dualistic polarity and value judgment. Do you really think that in the spiritual realm, we as ascended masters go around having discussions based on this? There must be a right view and a wrong view, and I, Master MORE, have the right view, and you, Jesus, you have the wrong one. How could we ever interact like this in the ascended realm? We are not looking at life on earth, desiring our students to be ‘right’ in every issue about every opinion that you can have on earth. We are looking at how we can help people, first of all, transcend the dualistic mindset, because in a sense you could say, what is the anti-mind? It is the mind based on duality that wants to always superimpose this dualistic polarized view, the right and wrong, the value judgments. Do you want to be right among men or right with Christ? You cannot be both. You cannot serve two masters. This is another way to describe the anti-mind.
There can be others. There are many ways to describe the anti-mind. It can also be the mind that undermines your will to change, like Mother Mary described. There comes a point where you have to make a decision to dare to express yourself, and the anti-mind will come up with all kinds of reasons why you should not do that. At least not today. Postpone it to sometime in the indefinite future. You can describe it as the ego, or as what in a previous dispensation was called the dweller on the threshold that every time you are taking a step up on a path, there will be an element of this anti-mind that will seek to keep you where you are, where you feel safe, and prevent you from taking that decisive step. We have described this.
And you can again look at the whole teaching about the separate selves. There is always a separate self, a specific separate self at a specific level of consciousness. But of course, you can say that all of these separate selves, they are part of the anti-mind. And the anti-mind also extends to what has been created by the fallen beings that are projecting, as we have said before, this standard. You have to evaluate everything based on a standard. And that is why, as I said in the beginning, some students have taken this concept of Christhood. They have superimposed the fallen beings and their standard upon it, thinking Christhood means you are always right, and anyone who disagrees with you is always wrong. That is the ego’s ultimate dream, to set itself up: “Nobody can gainsay me. I am the highest authority.” And there are people who think that that is what it means to be the Christ, but it is not. What did Jesus say? “He who would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all.” You are not serving other people by going around making them wrong all the time based on your personal dualistic standard. That is not the Christ, that is the anti-mind.
