Question: Were and are authors Michael Newton, Michael A. Singer, and medical medium Anthony Williams inspired or supported by the ascended masters?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 Lithuania Conference.
It depends on what you mean with ‘inspired’ or ‘supported’. We have had several people, organizations, messengers that are sponsored by us, meaning we have trained them and we give them certain protection so that they can carry out their task. But we have also said before that we are allowing a certain flow of spiritual light and spiritual ideas to descend from our level through the identity, mental, and emotional levels. It is sort of what Jesus referred to as the rain that rains upon the just and the unjust. We are allowing this to descend, and anybody who is able to tune into some aspect of this is therefore, inspired by us, you could say. And of course, many, many people, we are talking multiple thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people, have been able to receive something of that flow. The distinction you need to make here is that this does not mean that these are sponsored or directly supported by us because they do not have a conscious connection to us.
And it is not that everybody who receives an idea from us needs to acknowledge where the idea comes from. It is not that we are seeking to take credit. But the reality here is that, as I said, we are allowing ideas and light to flow, and whoever takes it, we are allowing this to happen. But now the question is, what does the person do with it? Do they use it to sincerely help other people, or do they use it, for example, to set themselves up as having some kind of position of being an advanced teacher, having authority, being looked up to, or so forth? Or do they even use it to attract students that they then take advantage of in various ways? If they do that, if they use it for self-centered purposes, there is nothing we can multiply. But if somebody takes what we allow to flow and they use it to help others, then we can multiply it and eventually they can work their way up to where they have a more direct, open inspiration. And they can, to some degree, be supported by us, even though not necessarily sponsored in a more formal way.
It does not mean that people have to be perfect, even if there was such a thing. But it does mean that in order to receive a more direct sponsorship, you have to have demonstrated that you have overcome some of that focus on self. Where you are willing to basically let us direct what is coming through and you are not wanting to use it for selfish purposes or control it or color it.
You have to come to that point where you say, with Jesus: “I can in my own self do nothing”. The I AM Presence and the ascended masters within me, they are directing the flow. Now, again, it is a delicate balance, as we have explained, because it does not mean that you become passive. You are still making decisions, but you are just not making self-centered decisions. I do not want to comment on specific people because beyond the three you mentioned, there are a thousand more. You need to use your own discernment and look at these teachers and look at how much they are focused on themselves? How are the people who are their followers or readers, how do they look at them?
Is there, for example, a cult of idolatry built around a certain person, which there is for many of these teachers you find in the spiritual or New Age field or even in other fields, that there is a certain idolatry that is built. And if a person allows that, they almost always become trapped in it themselves and they start believing it, they start drinking their own Kool-Aid and therefore, they now set themselves up as an authority figure and become more focused on maintaining or defending or expanding that image. Instead, as you rise in Christhood and go beyond the 96th level, you overcome that focus on self.
