Question: Master MORE talks about qualifying for the ascension. What is the point? Is there a level connected to the qualification for your ascension. Is there a certain level when you qualify for your ascension? Is it just the 144th level, or is it before?
Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given at the 2025 Holland Conference.
Kim: Ideally the 144th level. That is the path they would like us to walk. But in previous dispensations, there were various teachings given. In the Summit LightHouse Assembly, it was said that you could ascend with 51 percent of your karma balanced. You did not have to balance 100 percent. That would indicate to me that you did not have to reach the 144th level. But you also have to realize that that was again a simplified teaching because it does not make sense to say you can ascend when you have unresolved psychology, you become an ascended master. The way I understand this was they did not have to come back into embodiment on earth. But that is not the same as saying they became an ascended master after they passed from the body. Because obviously they have to, even if you talk about karma, they have to balance the last 49 percent. It does not make sense to have an ascended master that has karma with earth.
But is it still so?
Kim: The masters just do not talk about it much more anymore. And my sense of it is that there can be people who go out of embodiment, let’s say they are close to the 96th level or above the 96th level. They do not have to come back into a physical body. But they still have to work out their remaining psychology and karma before they become an ascended master. But some can do this in the identity realm, for example.
But is it the choice that we can make?
Kim: It is a choice you can make. And that would probably just be determined after you leave embodiment. You are working with the ascended masters to determine that. Because, again, you could say there can be various concerns. Is there something you still want to experience or do on earth? Do you want to maybe demonstrate the path where you walk all the way and so you just need to come back into one more lifetime? Or do you want to help manifest the golden age by being in physical embodiment?
It is a very individual thing. Personally, my sense is that ideally the masters, when you have the teachings in this dispensation, they would want you to apply this, if you sense it is your potential to ascend after this lifetime, to apply yourself as much as you can to resolve the psychology, so you can ascend with the highest level possible.
But I think there is probably another consideration you could have there. And it is just my sense, they have not really said this clearly, is that you know how the masters have said, you start at the 144th level, you take on one illusion, take on another illusion, and that takes you down ultimately to the 48th level. But they have also said that some of the higher illusions, they just relate to how we integrate with the physical body. Those are fairly easy to overcome. They are not really unresolved psychology, when the masters are talking about unresolved psychology, they are not talking about these illusions between the 144th level to, for example, the 96th.
I think you can resolve the psychology you created on earth, the separate selves, you can resolve those before reaching the 144th level. It is just that the higher you go, the better you can question the sense of reality that people have about the physical world. If you talk about some of these deeper questions, you know, what is real, what is unreal, is there a self, is there not a self. The higher you go, the more you can see the solution to these questions. But you can resolve psychology before you reach the 144th level. I do not know if that answers your question.
