Ascended Master Jesus, January 3, 2011 through Kim Michaels.

I especially encourage you to consider what I have said already, that the Christ, that the flow of the Spirit, will never conform to the mental images and the mental boxes that you, or other people, or the fallen beings have created on earth.

If you are to take advantage of this dispensation, you have to be awakened from your current state of consciousness. I am not hereby saying that you have failed the initiations of the Year of the Son or that you are in an unacceptably low state of consciousness. It is not my intent here to reinforce the fallen beings’ image that there is something wrong with you if you are not living up to a certain standard. My point is simply this: no matter what level of consciousness you are at, the role of the Living Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit, is to take you to the next step up.

Throw away all value judgments about whether you are in a high enough state of consciousness or not, whether you live up to this or that or the next standard or image defined by any spiritual movement or religion on earth. Throw them all away, but we willing to recognize that whatever state of consciousness you are in right now, my job is to help you rise to the next step up—and then go beyond that as you are willing.

And so for me to help you rise beyond your current level of consciousness, you must be willing to think outside of the mental box created by your current level of consciousness. And thus, you must be willing to recognize that the Christ will not conform to that mental box and the mental images you have inside the box, the mental images that make up the box.

If you think that being the Christ means living up to a certain standard, then I can only help you rise higher by challenging that standard. If you think that the directions I should give you from within yourself should live up to a certain predefined expectation that you have, then I can only truly help you by not conforming to that expectation.

Can you see what I am saying?

I cannot help you if I conform to your expectations and mental images. If I did indeed conform, then I would only validate and reinforce the spiritualized ego that you have created. And this I will not do.

You will not get the ascended master Jesus Christ to validate your ego. Millions of people who have seen themselves as good Christians have attempted to get me to validate the Christian, so to speak, egos they have created. You have no right to ask me to do this, and I have no obligation to conform to those who do ask.

I will not conform to your mental images. I will remain true to my vow to draw all men and women unto me because I was lifted up from the earth. And I can draw you unto me not by lowering myself to your expectation but by lifting you up beyond your expectation.

How can this be so difficult to grasp? It can be difficult to grasp when you look at the spiritual path, even the teachings of the ascended masters, from inside your mental box.

And therefore, anything we say, anything that comes to you, will be colored by your graven images before it reaches the conscious mind. That is why it is possible for a spiritual teacher to say something that carries truth and wisdom, but the student does not receive it the way it was given. And this is what you saw in the situation where Peter tells me that what I am telling him about me going to Jerusalem and suffering many things shall not come to pass—because it is beneath me according to his standard for what the Christ should be like.

What did I say to Peter? I said: “Get thee behind me Satan!” For this is precisely the satanic consciousness, that wants the Christ to conform to its expectations—that wants the Christ to conform to the current conditions on earth instead of being the open door for raising up those conditions.

What is the purpose for the Holy Spirit? It is not to conform to peoples’ ideas, mental images and beliefs. If the Holy Spirit were to conform, how could the Holy Spirit awaken anyone from their current state of consciousness?

The Holy Spirit has only one purpose; that is to initiate and accelerate the process of self-transcendence. For the Holy Spirit is the force that has been created by all of the self-aware beings in your current sphere that have transcended their state of consciousness. They have formed this giant force, this mighty rushing wind of the Holy Spirit, that is indeed meant to help all who have not yet awakened to awaken to their full potential as spiritual beings.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit will never conform to any mental image, any belief, any doctrine, any system, any structure that keeps you in a certain state of consciousness. So can you see why it simply is not possible that you can have a structure in your mind for how you should be as the Christ, and then at the same time be the open door for the Holy Spirit? It cannot be done. It cannot happen.

There are, of course, some – particularly in the Christian movement of the Pentecostals and other similar movements – who have managed to gain some flow of certain spiritual powers while they still have a structure in their minds. But this is not Christhood. And as long as they will not let go of their structures, they will not go beyond a certain level. And after a certain time, they will no longer be open to any flow of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, but they will be open to the flow of lower spirits that howl through them and still attempt to perform miracles. But this is not Christhood, for even if you can perform signs and wonders, you are not the Christ—if you simply heal people without awakening them to the power of God within themselves.

Yes, when I walked the earth, I healed the sick, I raised the dead. Nevertheless, there were many who were not healed, and I only performed these miracles – so-called – for a time. For I was not here to take upon myself all the sins of the world, so that I could do all the work for humanity. I was here to awaken people to their own built-in potential. This is the purpose of the living Christ, of the flow of the Holy Spirit: to awaken those who are willing to be awakened to their own potential to be the Christ, to transcend their current state of consciousness.

It is possible to attain what looks like certain spiritual powers without having fully let go of the ego and the desire to be thought wise or outstanding among men. Yet this is indeed taking heaven by force, and it will be allowed only for a time. And then, those who are not willing to step up to a higher level of selfless service, will become subject to the second law of thermodynamics. Which is indeed why you see that certain preachers might have a following for a time, yet suddenly something happens, where their congregations see them for what they are: egomaniacs who think they are above the law and can do anything they want from a self-centered perspective.

As another thought, I would comment on the concept of the Holy Spirit. For the reality is that the Holy Spirit was introduced in the West by Jesus, who said that after his ascension he would ask the Father to send another Comforter to earth. The Holy Spirit then can be explained as the collective momentum of all who have walked the true Path of Oneness. In the case of the earth, it is the collective momentum of all those who have actually ascended from the earth, or have at least passed the initiations of the material realm and thus contributed to the creation of an upward spiral.

Every time a Being ascends from earth, that Being adds its own momentum to that collectiveness of the Holy Spirit, that flow of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did so, Krishna did so, the Buddha did so. All beings who have ascended have added their momentum to it, increasing it every time, making it easier for people to tune in to that Holy Spirit. And therefore, they can receive a portion of the Spirit, that allows you to know truth from within and allows you to go out and speak that truth with the power that has the power to awaken people from their blindness, to shake them out of their blindness and thus give them an impetus for that inner realization.

This does not force people to have that inner realization. But it gives them the foundation for having it, if they are open and willing to have it. And thus, the power of the Holy Spirit can cut through the density of the collective consciousness, the density of a person’s own past momentums, so that the person is shaken and therefore is, so to speak, in an interval in time—put on pause. The person’s mind is put on pause, and now the person has a moment to tune in within and ask if there is more to understand about life, more to experience about life, than the person’s ego-based, fear-based dualistic belief system.

What will it take for you to tune in to the Holy Spirit? Well, it will take discernment, so you can discern between the Holy Spirit and the many false spirits that have been created. There is only one Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is created out of the momentum of those who have successfully walked the Path of Oneness. And thus, of course, they can only create one unified Spirit. Yet you must understand also, that those who have walked the path of separation, they have also created a momentum of the false spirits, and there are of necessity many of those, although some have grown strong because of the collective momentum added onto them by many people in embodiment, even beings who are no longer allowed to enter embodiment on earth but need to stay in other realms or have gone to the second death. They still have added to that momentum of the false spirits.

Ascended Master Presence of Victory, July 3, 2005 through Kim Michaels.

Their mistake is to think that the suffering was necessary. Yet the suffering only comes from an attachment. Something that makes you attached, so that you cannot let go of the former self and take that giant leap to the next plateau. For truly, to let go you must be willing to let your former sense of self die. And if you will look at Jesus’ life without the glasses of idolatry, you will see that he faced the exact same decisions that you will face.

And even when he was hanging on the cross, he was faced with a decision. And in his mind, he had an expectation of what should happen, and suddenly he realized that that expectation would not be fulfilled, because God would not come and save him. And at that moment Jesus realized that he would have to die on the cross. And for some brief moments, even Jesus hung on to the physical life. And then, finally, he surrendered, and he gave up the ghost of his former expectation. He let his body die on the cross, as a symbol for letting a part of your ego die on the cross. And because he was willing to let the former state die, he was reborn into the resurrection, that is the eternal life.

This is the process you must follow when you realize that Jesus was the example, the wayshower, and not the idol to be worshiped. And I can assure you, that the decisions you face will be no more or no less difficult than the decisions faced by Jesus. So many think it was easy for him. But if you read the scriptures carefully, you will see that it was far from easy. And you can take some comfort in that, and realize that it is a difficult decision, but that it can be done.

And you can even take some comfort in saying, “But I can learn from Jesus’ example. I can learn that if I can tune in to the love from Above, then I do not have to feel attached to the former. I can let it die without resistance, without a struggle.” And the less attachment you feel, the more willing you are to come to that point of saying, “I recognize I have come to a turning point where I need to rise higher, and I need to let go of this old self.”

Ascended Master Mother Mary, May 2, 2005 through Kim Michaels.

I would like to speak to you on a topic that is extremely important in terms of accepting God’s nurturance. You have all heard about the concept of faith as it has been promoted by so many religions, but especially the orthodox Christian religions. You have all read in the Bible that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). But what you do not always realize is that even this particular Bible quote is a distortion of the true teachings of Christ.

Jesus did not teach that faith is the substance of things hoped for. He taught that knowledge is the substance of things hoped for. And with knowledge he did not mean outer, intellectual knowledge. He meant inner knowledge, gnosis, the true inner gnosis whereby the knower becomes one with the known. Jesus did not teach that you should pray to an external God and then simply believe the answer would be forthcoming. And if your prayer is not answered, you should just keep believing indefinitely, as if those who keep believing will eventually be saved.

Jesus taught and demonstrated that you invoke God’s assistance from within yourself, and you do so with the absolute inner knowing that when you ask, you WILL receive. And thus, if your prayer is not answered, you can reason that you did not have the true inner knowing. Perhaps you had faith, but not yet the full knowing that is the highest aspect of faith. So instead of simply keeping on believing, you can go to work on yourself, on resolving the blocks that prevent you from having the inner knowing – the absolute certainty – that comes through oneness with your Christ self. You see, many Christians have completely misunderstood Jesus’ teaching on faith, and they have instead accepted the teachings of anti-christ that keep them suspended in a state of outer faith that blocks their inner knowing, their true Gnosis.

This is a most essential key to inheriting your Father’s kingdom. You see, most religious people have also been brought up to believe in a completely false teaching concerning prayer, concerning invoking something from above, concerning invoking God’s assistance in their lives. They have been taught a serpentine lie that springs from the mind of anti-christ, namely that prayer is invoking a miracle. And sometimes the miracle happens, but most of the time it does not happen. And there is no way to know when it will happen and when it will not happen, because it is all a mystery that is decided by God. But you see, this is a complete fallacy because God does not sit up in heaven and arbitrarily decide to give one person a miracle and to withhold it from another.

It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. It is the Father’s good pleasure to give his kingdom to all of his children. But to inherit that kingdom, you must realign yourself with the reality of God. And you cannot do that through outer knowledge, through intellectual knowledge, through outer faith or through blind adherence to some ritual. You can do that only by going within. You can do it only through gnosis, whereby you transcend belief, you transcend faith, and you come to the inner knowing that when you invoke God’s intercession, God’s Presence, in your life, your call WILL compel the answer. Ask and ye shall receive. Because truly it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7).

But you see, there are two things you need to know. First of all, you need to know that when you ask, your desire cannot spring from the lower desire of your ego or the desires that have been put upon you from your culture and the forces of this world. These lower desires are self-centered and they disregard the whole. And precisely because God wants ALL of his children to inherit the kingdom, he cannot answer a prayer that seeks the abundance of one person by depriving the whole. Thus, when you pray from a selfish desire, you create a counter-force that opposes the fulfillment of your desire. In a sense the entire universe will oppose the fulfillment of your desire. And if you seek to take something by force, the counter force you create will take from you what you seek to possess. As Jesus said, “For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.” (Matthew 25:29)

Unto everyone who has love and regard for the whole shall be given and he or she shall have abundance. Yet to him who has no love, everything shall be taken away by the very counter force he creates in seeking to fulfill his ego-centered desires. So in order to truly ask, you must realign your desires, your desire body, with the higher desires of the Conscious You, that are part of your divine plan, and with the higher will of your I AM Presence, that is one with the will of God for your lifestream.

And when you are in that state of alignment, then the answer to any prayer will be given because the entire universe will gladly assist in fulfilling your divine plan. The reason being that your personal divine plan is in alignment with the greater plan of God, and thus what is best for you is also what is best for the whole of God’s creation.

Ascended Master Jesus, April 6, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

But what will it take to enter the kingdom? Well, it will take that you understand the deeper meaning of another of my pivotal statements, namely “The kingdom of God is within you.” For truly, as long as you look for it outside yourself – as long as you think it comes with observances, with observing the beliefs and practices of an outer religion, or speaking in a certain way, acting in a certain way, eating in a certain way, using this kind of oil or that kind of crystal or lighting candles, all of these outer things – as long as you think that doing these things will bring you into the kingdom, you cannot enter the kingdom because you are trying to enter through the wrong gate.
 
The broad way that leads to destruction is indeed the consciousness of thinking that it is the outer things that will bring you into the inner kingdom. In order to enter the inner kingdom, you need to overcome the focus on outer things. You need to draw your attention within and realize that it is only by changing your consciousness that you can enter the kingdom of God.
 
The importance of that statement – and I speak these words primarily to the people in the world, who might read this at some point, or even pick it up from the ethers as it goes into the mass consciousness – is that there is no automatic path to the kingdom of God. You cannot live a certain way – whether you define this as a good Christian, or a good Hindu, or a good Muslim, or a good Buddhist – and then think that after your physical body dies, God has to let you into the kingdom of heaven.
 
For the one condition that determines whether you can enter or not, is whether you have put on the Christ consciousness. If you have not put on that state of consciousness, you will see yourself as separated from God. And how can you enter the kingdom of God as long as you see yourself separated from that kingdom? It simply cannot be done! If you stand in front of your house late at night, wanting to get in and go to bed, and you are trying to unlock your front door, but you are using your car key, how likely is it that your door will be opened? Well, certainly you can see that this is an impossibility. So can you not also see that if you try to open the door to the kingdom of heaven by using the wrong key, you cannot enter in? And the only key is the transformation of consciousness.
 
And what is the key to the transformation of consciousness? Well, it is the Living Word. For by your words you shall be justified, by your words you shall be condemned. This does not mean that I, or God, or some angel, will sit there and judge you. This is the scare-tactic used by so many Christian churches in order to beat people into submission. They have created this false image that we sit up there in heaven and judge people, and that we send them to a fiery hell if they do not obey the outer Church while they are on earth.
 
Again, obedience to an outer Church cannot guarantee your entry into heaven, nor can disobedience to an outer Church guarantee that you go to some other place. For it is only those who have the Christ consciousness who will enter. And when you have the Christ consciousness, you have become one with the Living Word. You have become the WORD incarnate.

The Christ Consciousness cannot be confined to an outer Church, or an outer organization, or an outer priesthood, or even a messenger of the ascended masters. The Christ cannot be confined by anything in this world. That is what I came to teach and demonstrate.

“This is my body which is broken for you—all of you.” The body of Christ is broken for all, which means that all have access to it. You can all decide that you are willing to be the open doors and access Christ directly in your heart. Of course, you can also continue, as many who call themselves Christians are doing to this day, upholding the image that Christ is so remote that you need the physical intercession of a Church and a priesthood. That then shows that you are not willing to take responsibility for yourself, and you are not willing to do what it takes to absorb the body and blood of Christ.

What will happen when you take in the body and blood of Christ? Well, as many of you who have been in the spiritual path know, when you take in the light it flushes out and exposes whatever unresolved substance is in your being, what Serapis Bey so eloquently called your “stuff.” You all know this and you all have had the courage to face it, thus you should not have any hesitation to absorbing this Flame of Spiritual Self-Sufficiency and spreading it throughout Russia. And of course, those students in the rest of the world can do exactly the same for their nations.

You, who have been on the path, will not feel that the flame will make you uncomfortable or will expose any more than you are already exposing by your regular practices. You might feel that the flame flows through you and thereby challenges others, those who will not make their own decisions, who will not take responsibility for their own path and who want someone else to make decisions for them. Be not concerned about this. Let the light shine through you and let the light do its work.

Those who have risen to the mindset of Christ will see that there is no need to create anything on earth that will endure forever and ever because earth is only a temporary schoolroom, and it is the lifestreams who lock in to the Mind of Christ that will endure forever and ever. But how will they endure forever and ever? Only by transcending themselves forever and ever, for the only endurance is self-transcendence. This is the reality of the Mind of Christ as opposed to the false image portrayed by the vast majority of Christian churches that you see on this earth.

They want to create an image of Christ and project that that image is reality, and that is why they have created the image that Christ is remote from the people and thus the people need an intermediary to access Christ. This is the very consciousness that you see in disguised forms in all abusive, totalitarian, centralized regimes. The people are powerless; they need an elite. If they follow the elite, the elite will give them the promised land—if the people give the elite the power and privileges that they crave beyond anything else. Those who are the living people who understand at least some aspect, who have tuned in to some aspect of the Flame of Christ, see no need for any permanence on earth. They know that permanence is in the ongoing transcendence of what we have called the River of Life or the Holy Spirit.

Yet you can interpret it also, through this mindset of separation, as an expression of the desire that many beings on earth have: to create a kingdom on earth that shall endure forever and ever on earth. If you look throughout history, you will see that there has always been a certain group of people who have had this desire to set themselves up as the leaders of a kingdom or other kind of state that will endure forever.

Was it not how the leaders of the Egyptian Empire of old felt? Was that not why they went through such trouble to build these elaborate monuments to the kings and embalm them so that they would supposedly endure forever in the afterlife, but also so that their kingdoms would continue to endure? Was it not the dream of many ancient civilizations that they would create the ultimate civilization that would endure forever and ever? Was it not the dream of the Roman Empire? Was it not the dream of both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church to create a Christian empire that would take over the entire world and would endure forever and ever because it was supposedly built on the sponsorship of Christ? Was it not the dream of those who created the Soviet Union to create an empire that would take over the world and would endure forever and ever based on communist principles?

When you look at this long history and you look at these leaders who have always set themselves up as a privileged elite, who have suppressed the people and abused the people in order to create their empires, you can, of course, clearly see as the spiritual people that this is for the people in what we have called the fallen mindset or the mind of separation. You see that only people who are trapped in a mindset of separation could even conceive of a need to create a kingdom on earth that would endure forever and ever.
