Question: We have asked so many questions about our human condition and how to change it. I would like to know something about the psychology of ascended beings. How do they usually live? What do they usually do if they are not working with mankind? And most of all, how can they be anywhere at once in multiple places and instantly know all things they wish to know? Is this all done by the quality of oneness and are there several states or degrees of oneness?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Chicago Conference
Well, the difficulty that we all recognized when we were in embodiment is that you cannot actually from the unascended state imagine or tune into what it is to be in the ascended state. Because what you will do is you will take your present level of consciousness, whatever that is, you will create mental images of what it means to be ascended and project that upon us.
And in order to ascend you stop projecting mental images based on conditions on earth. You have, as we have said before, the angry judgmental God in the sky is actually the fallen beings who are angry and judgmental, creating that mental image and projecting that this is how God is.
What I am saying here is that your question cannot actually be answered with words. It is not actually meaningful to try and answer it in words because whatever words I put on it will trigger mental images based on your present level of consciousness. And you will then think that you know something about the psychology of an ascended master. But you do not. You can only experience it. You cannot formulate a mental image from the unascended state.
But there are of course things we can say. And what we can say is that when you ascend from a planet like earth, you are, so to speak, the lowest level of ascended masters. We have explained the different spheres and that there are ascended beings in the sixth, the fifth, the fourth, the third, the second and the first sphere.
And the higher you go in the spheres, the higher level of consciousness they have. The higher level of oneness with the Creator they have. There are ascended masters in the first sphere that are so beyond my level that I cannot imagine or envision how their consciousness, their psychology is. I can sometimes tune in and get a glimpse of it. But still, I cannot experience it fully.
It actually is not correct to say that a newly ascended master is everywhere at once and can know all things instantly. You are not everywhere at once. I know there have been some in previous dispensations like “I am everywhere in the consciousness of God”. But that is an experience you are having for a brief moment. And it is actually an experience that is in contrast to your experience on earth. This is one of the difficulties that many spiritual people have when they start having spiritual experiences.
The experiences can be genuine, but it does not mean that it is an ultimate experience. You can have the experience that your consciousness is so expanded compared to what it was when you were in embodiment that you exclaim, as Lanello did: “I am everywhere in the consciousness of God.”
But he was not literally everywhere in the consciousness of God. It just felt that way compared to being unascended. Now, there is a reality there in the sense that once you are ascended, you realize you can go anywhere in the consciousness of God. But you cannot go everywhere at the same time. Because an ascended master still has an individual self that is focused in a particular point. You might say that creation is made up of all of these individual beings who have an individual sense of self.
You are sitting here in a particular body on earth. And this is the vantage point from which you are looking at the universe. I am in the ascended state, but I am still an individual being who is looking at the universe from this particular vantage point. I have a much broader view than you have from the unascended state, but I am still looking at the ascended realm from this particular viewpoint.
I know that if I decide to go somewhere, I can apply myself, go through the initiations to reach a higher level of consciousness. I can even work my way up to the first sphere. But it does not mean that I can be everywhere at once. It does not mean that I can know everything. Only the Creator knows everything there is to know in this world of form. But our Creator does not know everything there is to know in other worlds of form or in the Allness.
You have to be careful there, not that you do take the linear mind and think that it means that we can be everywhere at once. We cannot. Now, from the ascended realm, I have, of course, the ability to tune in. I can go up through the hierarchy, the lineage that I am out of, of ascended masters. And I can, at least for a brief moment, tune into someone who is at a higher level than I am at, and I can experience their vantage point. But I cannot do it with many masters at once. There is always a certain focal point. You are focused as an individual being. It is only the Creator that has the omnipresent awareness. But as I said, even the Creator’s omnipresent awareness is only omnipresent in this world of form.
Now, the Creator can go beyond this world of form. It can go into the Allness. But of course, in order to do that, it would have to leave its creation, which means its creation would collapse and disappear. The Creator is not going to do this. You have to be careful that you do not imagine what you might call super human abilities or God-like abilities. An ascended master is not a God, the way that the fallen beings have created the sense of an ultimate God. We are one step up from earth, and some are many steps up from earth, but we are still individual beings.
In terms of psychology, again, you cannot really take human psychology and compare it to the ascended state, but we all have an individuality. From your vantage point of being unascended, it can seem like when you overcome the ego and connect to the pure awareness, you can have the experience that you have no personality. It is a common experience that you go through a phase where you have started to disidentify the ego. You may not have overcome it completely, but you can have this experience of the pure awareness where it feels like you have no individuality and no human opinion, human personality. But that is again an experience in contrast to what you experience from inside the four lower bodies. Because as the next step, obviously, of course, you connect to the individuality of the I AM Presence.
In the I AM Presence is the original individuality that you were given by your spiritual parents, the ascended masters who created your I AM Presence. But also, what you and the Presence have added to that by you being in embodiment, by the Presence having the experiences it has had.
When you ascend, the I AM Presence simply continues from whatever point it was on. And it continues to develop that individuality. It continues to grow in awareness. And we might call it a certain attainment that you have as an ascended master because all ascended masters do not have the same power, do not have the same wisdom and insight.
But again, we are not in the state of separation, so it is not a limitation for us. It is just that even ascended masters are not all growing at the same level or at the same speed. There is, of course, individual differences. What you might say is that we gain by ascending certain freedoms compared to what you have on earth. For example, we can leave this planet behind. We can go wherever we want in this lowest level of the ascended realm. We can choose to leave it behind if we want, whereas you obviously cannot do that while you are still in embodiment.
That gives us a certain freedom, but it does not mean that I could, for example, instantly choose to go to the central sun or the first sphere. I would have to work my way up through all of the many levels in between, gradually increasing my sense of self, my individuality, my awareness, my attainment in using spiritual light to serve the whole.
