Question: We know that avatars incarnate on earth for different reasons. We know that some lifestreams incarnate to maintain balance with fallen beings, while others come down to have dualistic experiences that can only be had on unnatural planets. If it is true that avatars incarnate on earth for different purposes, what accounts for these differences in motivation? Is it based on their level of consciousness prior to incarnation? For those lifestreams with higher consciousness, are they allowed to incarnate to protect the balance of the planet? And for those who still need more experience, are they allowed to incarnate for dualistic experiences? I would also appreciate it if you could guide me to a higher perspective from the ascended masters regarding this question.
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.
You are correct that it is the avatar’s level of consciousness on their natural planet that determines this. Now, there are beings who have incarnated on earth who have come from a natural planet that rose to a higher level, and they could not keep up with this. There are a few that have come from natural planets that have become unnatural planets, but they needed a change of scenery.
We can discuss whether we should call these avatars or not, in the sense that the way we have used the concept of avatars are people who deliberately incarnated here to have a positive impact on earth. In other words, they did not actually incarnate on earth to have a dualistic experience. These are the other lifestreams that I just mentioned. In the pure way that we use the word avatar, it is people who had a high enough level of consciousness that they did not have to incarnate on an unnatural planet, but they chose to do so because they realized it could further their growth and they realized, in some cases, that it could help them learn the lessons about free will that they had not fully learned and integrated on a natural planet.
Yes, you can say that those with a lower consciousness are allowed to incarnate because they can experience duality on earth. Those of a higher consciousness are allowed to incarnate because they can hold the balance for the fallen beings, but it is really, in a deeper reason, because they have the opportunity to then to learn the lesson that they have not really learned, namely that free will must be allowed to outplay itself within very wide boundaries.
We have given our teachings on avatars at different levels where we first gave an introduction and made it seem like all avatars came here just for holding the balance and improving the earth, and later we have given deeper teachings that many avatars came because they had not learned the lesson of free will. Which means that before you came to earth you had a vision of the changes you wanted to bring to earth, but what you were really meant to accomplish by coming to earth was to learn the lesson that you cannot have an opinion about how other self-aware beings should exercise their free will. You cannot judge this. You cannot have an intent that they should not suffer. You cannot have the idea that suffering is wrong.
You see, again, there can be many individual reasons where, when you were at a natural planet and you had reached as far as you could go on that natural planet and you started looking on an unnatural planet, you had individual reasons for deciding: “Ah, I think I could accomplish this. I think I could make these people see why they are suffering because surely, I cannot imagine that they want to suffer”. Many different individual reasons that we have not fully explained because there are so many and really why do we need to explain it, when you need to individually use your intuition, use the process for healing your birth trauma and therefore, going to the point where you can intuitively receive the vision from your I AM Presence of what was your individual decision that caused you to come to earth. Because only when you see it intuitively can you really work on resolving it.
