Question: What is the difference between the following things? One, studying the dictation or book of an ascended master. Two, giving the invocation of an ascended master. Three, not studying anything, not saying anything, just simply trying to experience the vibration or Presence of an ascended master.
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korean Conference.
When you study a book or a dictation, it has two main purposes. One is to give you a teaching that can help you shift the way you look at life, the way you look at yourself. And the other is to give you a sense of the master’s Presence, which can help you attune to the ascended master. Giving decrees and invocations has the primary function of transforming the energy stored in your emotional, mental, and identity bodies that are pulling on your conscious mind, that are hiding the subconscious selves, reinforcing the subconscious selves. And forming a veil that makes it harder for your conscious mind to see these selves. By transmuting energy, you make it easier for yourself to resolve the psychology.
Not studying, not giving decrees and invocations, just simply trying to experience the vibration of an ascended master. Well, if it works for you, fine. But why have we given the dictations and the invocations? Because it does not work for most people. The dictations, the invocations and decrees are tools to help you come to the point where you have purified your mind of the energies and the unresolved psychology so you can begin to experience the Presence of an ascended master. If you can do it without practicing, well then, that is fine. But if you cannot, then we have given the tools that can help you walk a systematic path towards having that connection and that experience.
