Question: For how long has the earth been in an upward trend? And how long has it been known that a golden age on earth is a certainty?
Answer from the ascended master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar – Democracy and Christhood.
Well, in a sense the earth has been in an upward trend since the Elohim manifested the physical planet. You will know of course, that we have said that, for the first three root races or groups of beings that descended into embodiment, they all ascended, and therefore the earth was from the beginning in an upward spiral, then there came a turning point where some in the fourth root race went into the duality consciousness, they created a downward spiral, and fallen beings were allowed to embody here, and so forth.
In a sense, you could say that this has been a downward spiral that has led to some dramatic falls of civilizations and so on, but nevertheless, even though there have been ups and downs in the movements of the earth, there has still been a general upward direction, simply because the earth is pulled along with the rest of the universe, and the earth cannot withstand the pull of these billions of inhabited planets that are at a higher level of consciousness. There has always been an upward trend.
Now, of course, you can say there was a downward spiral that led to the point where even in known history, you had this very low size of the human population. And then you can say that, for recorded history where the population has been growing, there has been an upward trend again, that has led away from that low. There is a relative low, but there is an overall upward trend. You can say that there has been an upward trend for all of recorded history, a localized upward trend, a relative upward trend.
In terms of a golden age being a certainty, well, you can say that, from the moment I was appointed as the hierarch for the Aquarian Age, it was determined by cosmic councils that the earth had progressed enough as a result of Jesus’s example and leadership and teaching that a golden age could be manifest. And I was then appointed as the hierarch and I had certain plans of my own. I, of course, confided with many ascended masters who are working with the earth, and we formulated the plan for a golden age.
And at that point, it could be said in a certain way that it was a certainty that there would be a golden age, but there is still the open question of when will it be manifest physically, and how golden will the golden age be. In other words, as I have said before, there is a high potential, there is a low potential, and will it be only the low potential that manifests, will it be the highest and when will it manifest.
There is always room for free will, there is always a certain unpredictability and certainly the earth could have been further along than it is. It could also have been further behind where it is. And again, as I have said before, we do not look at this with any regret, we say, well, this is the way it is. Because again, you need to realize, as I have said before, and which many people have found it difficult to grasp, is that I am not, when I am planning the golden age, planning certain outer manifestations that must come to pass, I am looking for growth in consciousness.
Really, a golden age is an age where there is a certain degree of growth in the collective consciousness and in the individual consciousness of as many people as possible. It is not really that we are saying, well, we have to have this advancement in technology at a certain date, this advancement in material living conditions, we have to have this kind of wonderful cities built and so forth. We are looking for growth in consciousness. And that is what we are looking at.
When you look at the growth in consciousness, there is not a specific goal that needs to be achieved, because we are always allowing people to grow at a pace that they need, what experiences do they need to have, how long do they need to experience the duality consciousness and fighting with their neighbors before they have had enough of it, and many other experiences like that. We are saying, as long as people are growing, it is not so important what the outer conditions are.
