Question: My son is now serving in the military force of Ukraine. He consciously made this choice, even though he has been on a spiritual path for many years and accepts the commandment thou shalt not kill. But because of a treacherous attack on the country, he chose to defend the values of freedom with a gun in his hand. There is no hatred in him. My question is, how will this choice affect his karma? Could it be that it was in his Divine plan? Please comment on the situation of Ukrainian warriors defending the country with weapons in their hands.
Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Ukraine Webinar
I have given quite extensive teachings on Christ discernment. I have given teachings some years ago that there are even situations where those who are promoting change, even if they are doing so by force, can be at least for a time in alignment with Christ, who always wants change and transcendence. I know we have said that there must come a time where nations pull away from using violence and where some nations will begin to abandon their military. But we have also explained that Ukraine is not at that level and the whole world is not at that level, so all democratic nations could not abandon their military as demonstrated by Putin’s attack on Ukraine.
I will not here make a general statement about spiritual people being in the armed forces because that is an individual matter. And you need to trust that your son had enough attunement to know what was in his divine plan and therefore he is doing that. Obviously, you can say that the situation in Ukraine, the attack on Ukraine was not ideal. It was not in alignment with the Christ mind in any way. Yet now that the attack has happened, what is then the least violent alternative and what will create the least human suffering?
As we have said before, had Putin been allowed to take over Ukraine, there would have been more suffering and more deaths than has been the case so far. Therefore, you can say that at least on a temporary basis, defending Ukraine against the Russian attack is in alignment with Christ, not ultimately in alignment but on a temporary basis where on a planet so steeped in duality there are times where the ideal vision cannot be followed.
