Question: There are some independent popular spiritual gurus in Korea, who are teaching only their own ultimate enlightenment: sin, to the people who are deeply interested in their short explanations regarding what is sin, regardless of any acknowledgment of ascended masters and or fallen beings and or reincarnation of human souls. As one of the ascended master students, what will be our most desirable standpoint and our relationship with them in your golden age? With regard to them, do we regard them as false gurus or incomplete gurus or anything else? I would like to hear some comments from Saint Germain on this issue.
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2021 Webinar – Being the Open Door for Planet Earth.
Well, I cannot give you a general answer to this because it is very individual: What is your role, what is part of your divine plan? What I can say in general is that any guru that gains some kind of following or popularity in a country is because that guru has found a way to appeal to something in the collective consciousness. In other words, a certain number of people in a country need this particular experience in order to learn their lesson, and hopefully increase their discernment to a higher form of guru.
There are many people and you will find them not only in Korea, but everywhere, who see spiritual growth as a way to raise up themselves. In other words, they are focused on themselves only, raising themselves to a higher level of consciousness so they can either feel superior to others, or they can go out and demonstrate some kind of superiority that makes other people look up to them, or perhaps even follow them or worship them.
There is a certain group of people that are attracted to these kinds of gurus who make these elaborate claims about their own state of consciousness and how advanced and sophisticated they are. They simply need that experience for a time before they can hopefully have enough of it, and rise to a higher level of discernment about what kind of guru that can really take them to a higher state of consciousness, or what kind of guru will keep them trapped in a spiritual blind alley where they might feel superior, but are not really making progress.
You might say, as an ascended master student, “well, what is that to thee”? Most of you can safely ignore these kinds of gurus. But if you have contact with people who are involved with such a guru or if you have been yourself, then it may be part of your divine plan to seek to help people see this. But you do not, in most cases, achieve anything by going into some kind of confrontation with this kind of guru. But you may be able to help people individually come to a higher understanding of what kind of spiritual teachers they really want. And you may be able to help people realize that if people are seeking to emphasize their own status, their own attainment, their own superiority, they cannot really have reached a high level of consciousness.
Because when you reach the higher levels of the spiritual path, you let go of the separate self, and you are not seeking to raise yourself up. You are seeking to raise other people up. You are seeking to raise the whole. You are seeking to help others. Again, this is an individual thing, how you individually feel. But I encourage you to not force yourself to do this with the outer mind, but to simply focus on raising your own consciousness and then letting intuitive impulses come from within that might give you some kind of idea of what to do and how to do it.
