Question: After several years of serious practice, I understand that the most important thing is to have a connection with my higher self and the ascended masters. But I feel I have not been able to achieve it. Could the masters provide me with some guidance? I do feel fatigued and discouraged.
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korean Conference.
Well, you will see that the guidance we have already given at this conference can help you overcome this sense of being at a deficit. You take the teachings we have given today and apply them and you can see how you can switch your perspective and not be so stressed out about whether you receive specific results that you expect.
You need to once in a while on the spiritual path step back, look at the expectations you have. In other words, you need to ask yourself the question: “Is the reason why I have not received or attained the results that I expect, that my expectations are not realistic?” In other words, it is not the results or lack of results that is the problem. It is that you have an unrealistic expectation of what the spiritual path should produce.
Then, of course, there is always the resolution of psychology, which in many cases can be the reason why you have not achieved results. But, again, resolution of psychology also involves looking at your expectations because, as we have explained today, when you start the spiritual path, you will have some ego-based expectations or some ego-based view of what the spiritual path is all about.
In that respect, I must say that several years of practice is not that long of a time and therefore, it will take, generally speaking, longer to start being more free of the ego’s expectations. And therefore, it does not mean it needs to take longer to achieve results, but you need to come to a point where you realize that some of the ego’s expectations were simply not realistic to begin with. It is not that you are not achieving results, you are just not achieving the results that your ego projected at you that you should receive.
*The masters have given the entire book, which was given at a previous conference in Korea about how to connect to your spiritual teachers and there are many more teachings and tools you can use in there.
