Question: We live on an unascended planet, and in a sphere that has not ascended either. And where like the masters say, God does not look into our sins, nor remember them because earth is an experimental environment for our free will, where nothing is absolute, but everything is temporary. But beyond this theater of experimentation for our free will, that is earth and the material universe, every sentient being on earth has a divine spark that connects him or her potentially to the oneness of all life through the I AM Presence. According to this, couldn’t we say that one of our last illusions on earth is to overcome the perception of the division between spiritual persons on the path of Christhood or Buddhahood and fallen beings? Of course, at the beginning stages of the spiritual path, we need to keep the perception of separation between us and the fallen beings that use all means they can conceive of to manipulate and deviate human beings from the spiritual path and keep them in the duality consciousness. But this means that at these stages we are in duality, although only partially. But as we move to higher stages on the spiritual path and give up more and more of the dualistic mind, don’t we begin to see also that even the fallen beings deserve the mercy of letting go of the fixed images we keep about them, and practice also the Christ acceptance by remembering that they also have an I AM Presence, and could regain the connection with their divine identity, if they choose to, like masters Kuan Yin and Jesus who say it is a possibility for every being. This would make it possible for us to experience oneness with all life, even when we are still on earth. Couldn’t this make possible the experience, even if for brief moments of the unconditional love of God, even before ascending? And wouldn’t this also be the best way to deeply understand and practice free will?
Answer from the Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar for America – The Resurrection of Democracy.
Well, I encourage you to read the book My Lives with Lucifer, Satan, Hitler and Jesus, where you see especially the situation of Lucifer before he goes to the second death, and you will see some of the dynamic described here. What you need to recognize here is that the reasoning mind can reason for or against anything. What you are partially doing here is reasoning, with this reasoning mind, the mind of antichrist, about what it should be like. You are taking something out of context, and saying: “The logical consequence of this should be that we should do such and such.” And that is a common element of the consciousness of antichrist, the intellectual, analytical mind.
You need to recognize here that you do not need anything from or with the fallen beings in order to go into an experience of oneness, and in order to experience unconditional love on earth. You do not need anything from outside yourself. You need to be very careful and make a distinction here. You do not need anything from the fallen beings, nor do you need to do anything with the fallen beings in order to attain Christhood. This does not mean that you are completely wrong in your reasoning. It is clear that as you reach the higher levels of Christhood you are not looking with any negative feelings at the fallen beings. But neither are you trying to change them or trying to think that you have to somehow relate to them in order to attain something in your own mind.
There comes a point where you look at the fallen beings from a completely neutral state of mind. You do not actually see them as fallen beings. This messenger has moved beyond the point where he is looking for fallen beings or judging that: “Oh, this person must be a fallen being.” There are some times that he receives an intuitive insight that shows him that this is a fallen being, but he is not looking for it. You come to that point where you treat fallen beings as you treat any other human being. In other words, you are not giving them any special status in your mind. You are not trying to convert them, you are not trying to condemn them, or put them down or judge them or fight them. You are not giving them any special status, you are looking at them as individual beings, you relate to them based on how they act and what comes to you from within. You are not having in your intellectual reasoning mind this sense that: “Oh, this is how I should behave towards the fallen beings”.
If you read your question carefully, you can recognize these elements where you are taking the reasoning process too far. This is one of the characteristics of the consciousness of duality, where you say that: “If I have said A, then I have to say B. If I have started reasoning this way, I must continue to reason this way until we reach the logical extreme of this line of reasoning”.
This is what you can see in many philosophers throughout the ages. The silly example is the Sophists in Greece and their reasoning: “Is this dog yours? Is this dog father? Ergo, this dog is your father.” This is a silly example. But nevertheless, this is how the reasoning mind says: “We set up the premise for logic as Aristotelian logic. And we have to continue in that direction once we have set them up”.
But what you are saying yourself is that there are stages on the path. And there is a stage on the path where you need to use your reasoning mind because you cannot do anything else. There is even a stage on the path to Christhood where you are using the reasoning mind. But there comes a higher stage where you begin to see the limitations of the reasoning mind, and therefore you transcend it—you become more intuitive. You are not reasoning, or evaluating or judging. “Judge not that you be not judged. For with whatever measure you mete out, it shall be meted out to you”. Because when you have your life review, you are looking at your life with your present level of consciousness, only you are seeing what you could not see while you were in the body. But you are evaluating your own life based on the state of consciousness you have and that is why you need to make an effort to transcend that, so you can have a more constructive life review and make maximum progress. Even make maximum progress before you leave the body.
