Question: Mother Mary, you mentioned in one of your dictations that many of us in this group have had very difficult lives in this embodiment. Could you elaborate on the reason for this? Is it because we would need to remember to connect to our I Am Presence or to the ascended masters for guidance, and for remembering our divine plan? You also mentioned that many of us have embodied with those who caused our birth trauma. Can you talk a little more about this as well?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar – Democracy and Christhood.
Well, the primary reason is really, that many of you want this to be either your last embodiment or one of the last embodiments. You have decided that you want to make as much progress as possible. This means that you determine that you will not shy away from difficulties, you will not seek to have a comfortable, easy life, you want maximum growth. This means, among some other things, that you embody with people with whom you may have karma, or who have a psychology that might clash with your own, so you have an opportunity to look at your own psychology. It may also be that you want to help certain people—give them another opportunity.
For many of you, you have also put yourself in certain situations in order to force yourself to deal with your own psychology. In other words, you can see when you are making your divine plan, you look back at your past lives, you can see there are certain lessons you have not learned. And the reason you have not learned those lessons is that before you come into embodiment, you can have the best of intentions and put this in your divine plan that you want to overcome this aspect of your psychology. But when you come down in the density of the four lower bodies in the physical octave, you forget this. You have a tendency to refuse to look at this psychology, to run away from the confrontation with it, and try to have a comfortable life.
This time, you have decided you want to put yourself in a situation that is so difficult that you cannot ignore this reaction in yourself. You cannot ignore the need to look at your reactionary patterns and overcome them. What you can do here is you can take our books, Healing Your Spiritual Traumas, and the others, even the My Lives book, and you can look at your psychology, you can look at your reactions in this lifetime and say: “What is it I wanted to resolve in my psychology in this lifetime that has caused me to be confronted with the same situations over and over again? It must be because I have not learned a lesson. Otherwise, I would not continue to attract these situations. So now I want to know, and I am going to use these tools, study these books until I have the direction from within.” You can of course ask me or another ascended master you are close to, but use the books, study them. Wait for this inner epiphany, use the invocations. But first of all be willing to look at yourself and your own reactionary patterns.
