Question: How do I feel free in a country that is not free? I live in Russia and want to share, and I do, my vision of the current situation with the people around me. Still I often encounter rejection, misunderstanding and irritation on their part. Given that in the present situation in Russia it is becoming unsafe to speak the truth, what would I do if there is a need to speak out, not remain silent? It seems that is not a desire on my separate self but of the evolving spirit. And what can spiritual people in Russia do now to help everyone else in the current condition of the growing repressive apparatus?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Ukraine Webinar.
Well, first of all you can recognize that speaking out if you are living in Russia is a very individual matter. You need to tune in to your own intuition and see whether you should speak out or whether you should not. We are not saying that all of our students should risk their lives by speaking out. That is not a general recommendation we are making, far from it. We are not even saying that any of our students should speak out. This must be something you determine from within by tuning into your divine plan.
What can you do to tune into your divine plan? You can use the tools we have given you. You can use the tools for healing psychology which is how you become free even in a nation that is unfree. It is not your physical situation that makes you free, it is your psychological situation that makes you free. This is the case whether you live in Russia or Sweden or Norway or Denmark. You are free within if you are free from your psychological conditions that make you unfree.
You can also use our tools to give the decrees and invocations, make the calls, as Mother Mary just said, and then let the Karmic Board deal with the outer situation. You need to recognize that when you are an ascended master student who has embodied in Russia, you do so primarily because you want to help raise the collective consciousness. Not because you want to promote specific outer changes, certainly not something that could risk your life. By being in embodiment and by raising your own consciousness, you are raising the collective. By staying alert, by not believing the official propaganda but separating yourself in your mind from the government apparatus, you are helping to raise the collective.
You need to recognize that, as ascended master students, you are a small minority among the Russian people, and you cannot change the country alone. You can help raise the consciousness but it takes a critical mass of people to make the choices that will change the country. In a sense you could say that, until that critical mass is reached, speaking out may not make a difference. I am not saying it cannot make some difference, and if you feel prompted from within to speak out, you should. But again, I am giving you a caution here that in a situation like what you live in in Russia, it is more important to, number one, stay alive and to stay out of jail than to speak out against the regime where speaking out has relatively little effect at the present moment.
Now, there may come a point where there are many more people who are ready to go out on the streets like you see in Iran and say: “Regardless of the consequences we are going to demonstrate against the regime and that may change the situation”, but obviously the Russian people are not there, a critical mass of them.
Be careful, you say yourself: “It is not the outer self, it comes from within”, but make sure that it is from within, make sure you are not attached and in a sense you could say, strive to feel free before you speak out, so that you do not have a sense that you should speak out but you let it flow from within.
