Responding to unforeseen incidents with a state of shock

Question: I discovered quite some time ago that I have a deep wound that relates specifically to accidents. What I discovered so far is that when something unexpected happens in the physical, it really puts me in a state of shock. It feels as if my entire being just wants to withdraw from the physical plane. No matter how small or big the accidents, for example, a bird flying into my window and dies, it is very heavy on me. “I did not see it coming” and “this should not happen” are beliefs I have uncovered but I was not able to shift out of them yet. Can you share a higher perspective on this as I could really need some guidance?


Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 American webinar.

Well, these beliefs come from separate selves. Again, use the tools and teachings we have given to uncover the separate selves and let them go. The method is there. But what I will say is that again you are raising a very, very common issue, especially for avatars, because on natural planets, you do not have these kinds of accidents where you did not see it coming. Because on a natural planet it is much easier to see the consequences of your choices. On earth, you have such a chaotic environment. There are many things that are hidden, as we have said, as the result of the density of matter. Many times you are making choices and you cannot see the consequences. Then you have the fact that other people can choose to do something unexpected. Then you have the entire concept of the fallen beings who can create not only accidents but all kinds of wars and atrocities that you also did not see coming because you did not expect it. And then you have of course the whole karmic interplay that makes it very, very unpredictable what happens on earth.

For example, it is very common that you see people who are exposed to natural disasters. They feel that: “Oh, this should not be happening,” or “We should have seen this coming.” What you see is that it is very, very common both for original inhabitants but especially for avatars that you have this inner knowing that these things really should not be happening. And that ideally they would not be happening. But yet here you are, you experience that they do happen and so you, of course, tie in with the fact that you have experienced this in past lifetimes as well. And in past lifetimes you have, in many cases, experienced more severe situations that you are experiencing when a bird flies into your window. You might have experienced being killed or having your entire group of people be killed — horrendous atrocities that have happened throughout history and are still, of course, happening today. You tie in to this trauma but again the trauma is in these separate selves.

Specifically for avatars, you can have this sense that: “I should have seen this coming. I should not be surprised.” Because on a natural planet you can see it coming and you can predict the consequences of your actions. But as I said, planet earth is a fundamentally different environment. Things are so complicated here that when you are new on this planet or even when you have been here for a long time, you cannot see it coming. What have we said several times? Even we, as ascended masters, cannot predict everything that will happen on earth because the equation shifts all the time depending on the choices people make. You see, if we could not see it coming, how can you think that you in embodiment should be able to see it coming?

You need to use the tools and teachings to uncover these selves and really make a realistic assessment: “I am not on a natural planet. I am on a very dense, very chaotic planet and I cannot blame myself for everything that happens here and I cannot blame myself for not predicting it, not seeing it.” I understand that you will still, after you reason this way, have the self that reacts in shock. But as I said, by overcoming this self, letting it die you can overcome that reaction as well. This will require for many people a lot of work with decrees and invocations to transform that energy in your emotional body that you tie into when you are exposed to this kind of shock. But again it can be done and the tools are there.

I want to add here that it is also a very common reaction, especially for avatars, that when you are exposed to something that is shocking, you just want to withdraw. You just want to get away from the physical plane. It is a very common reaction. It is an understandable reaction but it is not constructive. It is again coming from a self, but it is also coming from a certain reaction, where you have as a result of all the trauma, you have developed this negative attitude towards earth and life on earth, that you really do not want to be here. You really do not want to be exposed to all of these things. And although this is also a self, there is also a more general attitude that the Conscious You can develop, that you simply need to see and you need to make a decision that this limits you. It is not constructive for you and it certainly does not help you to get permanently out of the physical realm through your ascension. Because as long as you have this attitude of wanting to get away from something you cannot actually ascend.

The ascension is not an escape mechanism. It is a transcendence of the mindset on earth but you only transcend the mindset by looking at it and resolving it, not by running away from it. I know this sounds harsh, but it is the reality. You cannot ascend by running away from anything. And the only way to get away from things on earth is to ascend. It seems to be a catch-22 until you have the teachings about the separate selves and how to resolve them and then you see that there is no catch-22.
