Question: It has now been a decade since the ascended master students community was first established in Korea. Currently, it is estimated that around 150 students are sincerely studying the teachings delivered through the Messenger Kim Michaels. While there has been a gradual growth in consciousness among students, the number of active members has remained relatively stable with no significant increase or decrease. In recent times, we have also observed that very few students are engaging in meaningful dialogue within the online community and overall activity has become increasingly stagnant. Furthermore, in early 2025, two or three individuals declared themselves to be new messengers of the ascended masters, which has caused some confusion about the identity and direction of the community. The leadership team, the staff of this community is currently reflecting deeply on how best to guide and grow this community both in terms of its spiritual direction and practical approach. Mother Mary, could you kindly share the vision the ascended masters hold for the Korean ascended master student group and offer insights on its future development?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.
When you go back and listen to and read the dictations we have already given at this conference, you will see that we have several times given you hints for how you can grow in the Korean community. When you take and apply these, you will see that you will again start having more movement, more growth.
We have of course also said that you cannot be attached to outer results. What I would say at this point is that it is a phenomenon that you see in most spiritual communities that they go through a growth phase and then after some time there is a certain stagnation. This is simply a cycle where you attract certain people to the teachings and then those people need to internalize and implement the teachings. Only when they have done this to a certain level can there be a new growth phase.
I know we sound like we are repeating ourselves, but truly, there is always the need to look at psychology, to look at your psychology, both in the leadership and in the membership of a community. Because you can say that the key to growth is always the resolution of psychology, you can say that the community itself has a certain level of the resolution of psychology and that attracted a certain group of people. In order to attract a new group of people, you need to reach a higher level of resolution of psychology, but you also need to reach that level where you realize that you do not need to be frustrated about not attracting more members. Because what you are doing, even with the numbers you have right now, is having a very significant impact on Korea. I am not saying that it is not our goal that we would like to attract more members. I am saying that you need to be careful you do not stress about this. You need to be willing to recognize that you have done great work already and that you have had a major positive impact on the Korean collective consciousness, and that even if you continued at your current level, you would continue to have a positive impact.
We are not looking to tell you from an outer source. We are looking to tell you through your intuition individually. If you feel like you are not getting the intuition, then apply the teachings about resolving psychology, increasing your intuition, including the teachings we are giving at this conference. You could say when you have the teachings from this conference translated, make an effort to apply them. Get together in groups, talk about how you can apply them. If you sincerely do this, then you will grow as a community.
In terms of other people claiming to be messengers, we do not have any sponsored messengers in Korea. But we do see the pattern again and again, as we have seen in previous dispensations, that there will be times where some will claim that now they are messengers. This is not a unique phenomenon. It happens on a regular basis. In many cases this is driven by people’s individual ambition whereby they contact forces that may not be malevolent, but still the effect of listening to dictations from lower levels and the ascended level is that it can create doubt and division in a community. We do not encourage people to study this at this point. Quite frankly, we encourage you to take the teachings you already have and internalize and apply them and it will give you everything you could want.
