Ascended Master Jesus, February 11, 2010 through Kim Michaels.

Get thee behind me, Satan. For thou art an offense to me. Thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. These are the words I spoke to Peter on that fateful day, when he set the pattern, that has become the pattern of the Catholic Church—and through the Catholic Church for all of Christianity.

The pattern of denying Christ

The pattern was that of using your built-in ability to recognize Christ– that there is something unusual about Christ or those who have the light of the Spirit – but you are not willing to let them take you out of your mental box. You want them – you want the Living Christ – to come into your mental box and conform to it, therefore confirming that box and all of the beliefs within it, all of the mental images, the graven images, the idols, that you have built in your desire to avoid taking responsibility for yourself and changing your life to follow Christ.

For you are not willing to let the old identity die and be reborn. You are not willing to give up that old identity in order to follow Christ into the unknown, where for a time – for a split second – it will seem as if you have no identity—for you have allowed it to die. And indeed, you have, for you must let the old die before the new can be reborn of the Spirit. That is the law, that is the eternal law that everyone who has ever ascended has faced. You must be willing to let go of the old, not knowing if there will be any self-awareness behind that point of letting go. Not knowing what it will be like, not knowing whether you will go to heaven or hell—or whatever you envision might come after the surrender of that mortal self that you have come to deify, or idolize, and see as the graven image that you have set before God.

This is the initiation that Peter failed, and he failed it to the end of his days, and he has failed it to this day. That is why the lifestream of Peter has not ascended. Yet, truth be told, Peter is not the only one of my personal disciples that have not ascended. For the reality of it is, that two-thirds of them were among the original fallen angels that fell in the first sphere and have kept falling, until they ended up in this sphere, here on planet earth. They were assembled here over a long period of time, they were put together in embodiment after embodiment, and I descended to give them that final opportunity to confess Christ or to deny Christ. And they have all denied it, with the exception of one, who is now in the process of ascending. Which one it is, is immaterial. But I give you this realization – that it is possible for even the original fallen angels to rise above that fallen sense of identity – if they are willing to let it die. And if they are not willing, well, then they will continue the downward spiral, until they end up at the second death, where their opportunity runs out.

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

And as I said, those who speak a word against the Son of man – including killing him, killing his body – it shall be forgiven them. But then, what happened after my death on the cross, my resurrection? What did I say I would do? I said I shall pray the Father that he shall send you another Comforter (John 14:16). And that Comforter is the Holy Spirit. And that Holy Spirit is an aspect of the Living Christ, but it is an aspect of the Living Christ that does not come to you from without—it comes to you from within.

As I talked about earlier, there comes that point, where you need to see something from inside yourself instead of hearing it from the outside. And it is precisely the function of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, to give you that “Aha” experience, that inner realization, that helps you see the dualistic illusion and snap out of it instantly, when you see it as an illusion.

Here is the subtlety expressed in my quote. If you speak a word against the Son of man – who is clearly external to you, at least in a physical sense – then you are forgiven that, because this is an outer action. But the sin against the Holy Ghost, the speaking a word against the Holy Ghost, is when you deny the Living Christ that comes to you inside yourself, when you refuse to listen to that inner Christ, the Holy Spirit, when you refuse to change your consciousness.

And why is it that that sin – that speaking the word against the Holy Ghost – shall not be forgiven? Well, it is because the rejection of the Holy Spirit within you happens at a deeper level of your consciousness than your outer actions. You see, it is quite possible to have a difference, a separation, between your outer actions and your inner thoughts. You all know from your daily experience, that sometimes you are not able to do what you really knew was the right thing. And this is because there is a gulf between your outer actions and your inner consciousness. It is possible that somebody can be so trapped in an outer consciousness, that they can condemn and persecute the Living Christ, the Son of man, while actually in their inner being having a pure heart.

And this is what you saw exemplified in Paul, who persecuted the Christians until he had an encounter with the Living Christ so intense, that it shattered his illusions and shook him out of the illusion that caused him to reject me in the form of Jesus and reject my disciples. But you see, Paul went through that experience on the road to Damascus because he was willing to listen to the Holy Spirit that came to him from within (Acts 22:6). For contrary to what many people think, I did not appear to him as the external Christ standing beside him. I appeared within as the internal Christ, as the Holy Spirit. And though he had rejected the external Christ, he did not reject the internal Christ, and therefore he was converted and he was healed. And therefore he became one of my foremost apostles.

It was the inner man of Paul that was ready to represent the Christ, even though at some point the outer man was not ready. And that is why he sinned against the Son of man, he spoke a word against the Son of man. But when it came down to the critical moment, he did not speak a word against the Holy Spirit, he did not reject the Spirit, he accepted the Spirit, converted, changed his life dramatically and followed that Spirit for the rest of his embodiment.

At the deeper level of your being, you can reject the Spirit—and what is the deeper level of your being? Well, my beloved, is it not the heart? For as I said earlier, the heart is the center of your being. What you speak with your mouth it is simply what is in your heart that overflows. So you see, the deeper part of your being is the very core of your sense of identity. And until you let go of a false sense of identity, you will continue to reject the Holy Ghost. And as long as you reject the Holy Ghost, you cannot overcome your illusions, you cannot come up higher, you cannot overcome separation.

And that is why – as long as you reject the Holy Spirit within yourself – you will remain outside the kingdom of God. For you cannot enter the kingdom of God within you, except you accept the one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and become one with it. Do you see the subtlety here, that could not be explained 2,000 years ago—and that even today cannot be understood with the reasoning mind, even though the collective reasoning mind is much more sophisticated today than it was back then.

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

My Beloved, when you are stuck in this illusion of the remote God, you will reject the Living Word. You will find ways to counteract the Living Word. What the scribes and Pharisees did was only the most primitive version of this rejection, and there are far more subtle ones that I will talk about in the coming discourses. Yet what they did was to reject the person who had come to bring them the Living Word because that person – myself – had become one with the Living Word, which is the only way to truly bring the Living Word—although you can for a time be in a state where you are the open door for the Living Word but have not fully become one with it.

When I came to them representing the Living Word, they rejected the Word. That is why I said that those who speak blasphemy against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven them. Because you see, even though I represented the Living Word, the scribes and the Pharisees inevitably saw me as being outside themselves. So I represented the Living Word that was the external Word—and so do I now when I speak through this messenger, whom you identify as being different or separate from yourself.

This is the nature of the physical octave, of being in a body, because you know that the body is separate from other bodies. You know that there is a part of your mind that is separate from other minds. So you see, you have this duality that is inherent in the physical octave at this point—which is not quite the same duality as what I normally call the duality consciousness of the ego.

For truly, your senses are not evil, they are simply doing what they were designed to do, which is to detect the vibrations that make up the physical universe. And in the physical universe, the vibrations are separate and have created separate, distinct forms. But what really happens is that the ego takes this sensory perception of separateness and builds onto it, and then builds the duality consciousness which says that you are separate because you are nothing more than the body, and the senses, and the outer mind or even more than the soul which is also separate from other souls. Do you see that this is subtle and difficult to grasp?

But even though you are in a physical body, even though you see the world through the physical senses, you – meaning the Conscious You – have the ability to know that you are more than the body, more than the senses, and that there is more to know about the universe than what you can see through the senses. And this is indeed what you all know because that is why you are spiritual people. Otherwise, you would not be on the path, unless you knew from within that there is more than the outer world and the senses.

For what you need to do is realize how the ego has used the senses to build this illusion of separation. And then you can separate yourself from the identification with the separateness. This is what the scribes and Pharisees were not willing to do. This is what even my own disciples were not all able or willing to do. For you see, when the Living Christ appears upon earth, he does not come to say, “Here I am, I am the Christ, I am the only Son of God, I am so much better than any other human being on this planet.”

No, the Living Christ comes to say, “Look, I have discovered God within myself, and so can you discover the God within yourself. And when you discover the God in you, you will know that it is the same God that I have discovered in me. And therefore, you will know that you and I are one at a deeper level, that goes beyond the separateness of our physical bodies and even our separate minds.”

This is a deeper oneness that the Living Christ comes to exemplify to people, to awaken them to that oneness. And so what did they do with my teachings and my example? They said, “We will have none of it, we want to cling to our ego’s illusion of the external God and the external path to salvation.” So they killed the Living Christ. They killed the Son of man when he stood before them in the flesh.

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

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. (Mt 12:24-37)

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (Joh 12:47-50)

My Beloved, while these words might sound old-fashioned and ominous in the modern world, yet I tell you that there is a hidden truth behind them. For truly, if you will care to look at the scriptures, you will see that there was an entire group of people in ancient Israel who rejected me and rejected my WORD. And if you care to look behind the surface appearances, you will see that this was not simply the scribes and the Pharisees and the temple priests and others. It was not an outer characteristic that caused these people to reject the WORD. It was an inner characteristic, a state of consciousness. And that state of consciousness is very much still in the world today. And there are millions, if not billions, of people who are so blinded by that state of consciousness, that they will reject the WORD, the Living Word, when they encounter it.

Sad as it is to say, there are many people today who claim to be Christians – who claim to be good Christians, who claim to be the only good Christians – yet they have entered into and become blinded by the very same consciousness that you see in the scribes and Pharisees. And therefore, they sit in their Christian churches every Sunday, feeling holier than thou while in reality – in their hearts – rejecting the Living Word of the Living Christ.

Not only have they shut out the Living Word from their churches, so that they will not allow me, my Comforter – the Holy Spirit – and the ascended masters to speak through their churches today, but they have also shut out the Living Word within their own hearts. For surely, I am not limited by anything in this world and I, as the representative of the Christ Consciousness for the earth, can speak to each person in his or her heart—if they are willing to hear that Living Word.

Why do people reject the WORD?

What I would address at the beginning of this series of discourses on the WORD is the consciousness that causes people to reject the Word. It is very simple, when you have an understanding of the ego. Yet for most people in the world – who have no understanding of the ego – they do not understand that they are actually rejecting the Living Word. And if you were to tell them, they would find it very difficult to grasp—because they have no co-measurement, they have not experienced the Living Word. Or they have not been conscious of the difference between the Living Word and the dead word.

They have grown up – they have been brought up, they have been bred and raised, so to speak, they have been programmed – to accept the dead word as the only true word of Christ or the only true word of God. This is what you saw in the scribes and Pharisees. They were so attached to the old testament scriptures and they used those scriptures to condemn, to argue with me, and ultimately to reject the Living Christ when I stood before them in the flesh.

They were so attached to the dead word, that they were not willing to acknowledge that I was bringing them something more, something beyond the dead word. And even though many of them could feel something stirring in their hearts when they heard me speak, their minds would override their hearts—as so often happens, especially in this modern world, where people have become more intellectual than in previous times. It is so easy for the intellectual, reasoning mind to reason away the promptings you get from the heart.

The WORD  determines your entry into the spiritual realm

In the end, your entry into the spiritual realm will be determined by the WORD, by your acceptance of the WORD. And this is what I expressed in my statement to the scribes and Pharisees, that by your words you shall be justified and by your words you shall be condemned. Now, many Christians interpret this in an outer, superficial way by saying it is the words you actually speak throughout your lifetime. But, as I attempted to explain, the words that come out of your mouth come from your heart, because it is the heart that overflows with the words that you speak. There is a deeper meaning here, that you can understand when you go beyond the literal interpretation.

The reality of it is that there is a Living Word of God behind all outer words, all outer expressions. And this I will explain more deeply in coming discourses. But what you need to understand is that when you stand before the gate that leads to a higher state of consciousness, there is a sorting mechanism, so to speak. If your heart is filled with the Living Word, you can enter through the gate. If you have put on the wedding garment, you can enter into the wedding feast. Yet if your heart is not filled with the Living Word but has become attached to the dead word, to particular expressions of an outer word, then you cannot enter into the spiritual realm—which is not necessarily a physical entering in, but truly a state of consciousness.

So this is not just something that happens after you lay down the physical body. This is something that is an ongoing, perpetual process. Because what were the things that I preached first and foremost when I walked the dusty roads of Palestine? Well, I went out to say that the kingdom of God is at hand, and what does that mean? Most Christians believe that they will enter the kingdom of God after they die, because I have – after all – vowed to take on their sins and therefore save them.

Yet the reality is that at every moment throughout your life, you are, so to speak, standing before the gate to the kingdom of heaven. Because the kingdom of heaven is at hand, it is right here with you! And you have the opportunity to enter into that kingdom at any moment. And again this does not mean that when you enter the kingdom of God, your body is resurrected and disappears. It means that you enter into the Christ consciousness. For truly the Christ consciousness is the deeper spiritual meaning hiding behind the symbol of the “kingdom of God.”

That is why the kingdom of God is at hand. Because even though you are not at the end of your natural life-span, you can still enter the kingdom of God while you walk this earth in a physical body. And certainly, I was not the head of some suicide cult, telling people to kill themselves in order to enter the kingdom. So you see, the kingdom of God is at hand because it is available to you right now.

Ascended Master Mother Mary, October 20, 2006 through Kim Michaels.

What is the role of the heart in your being? Well, the heart is the center of your lower being. And therefore it is the open door between your higher and your lower being. It is through the heart that the light and the wisdom and the divine direction from your higher self must enter your lower being. It cannot happen through the head. It does not matter how sophisticated an intellectual understanding you have of spiritual concepts. It does not matter that you know every letter of the outer law. For as the lawyers and the scribes and the Pharisees proved 2,000 years ago, you can have any amount of outer knowledge and understanding, yet you are not able to recognize the Living Christ when he stands before you in the flesh. And thus, you reject him and crucify him because you feel threatened by his mere presence, by the light and by the teaching he brings. Because you see that it will overturn the old order, and you are not willing to give up that comfortability. 

Those who had the power back then rejected my Jesus and crucified him rather than give up their comfortability and their old beliefs. And why were they not willing to even see that Jesus was the Christ? Why were they not willing to follow him? It was because their hearts were hardened. And thus, they were not able to get out of their heads and into their hearts, to feel the love that they could have felt when they were in the presence of the Living Christ. For truly, all who are in the presence of the Living Christ have the potential to sense the ultimate, the unconditional, love that the Living Christ radiates in this world.

Yet for that to happen, their hearts must have a certain amount of purity, a certain amount of openness, so that they are willing to tune in and feel what is going on in their hearts. For as the disciples said, as they met Jesus on the road and did not recognize him, “Did not our hearts burn within us.” And this is the sign that you are in the presence of the Living Christ—that your heart is burning.

But if you are too much in your head, as the disciples were, being distraught over Jesus’ disappearance and crucifixion, then you cannot recognize what comes to you in your heart or you cannot interpret that burning. Sometimes you can even think with your head that the burning in your heart is the sense that there is something wrong. Perhaps that there is even something dark, and you do not recognize it for what it is—the love fires in your heart that are simply burning away the hardness of your heart.

And thus, it is not the burning or the love that is wrong, but the hardness that is being consumed. Yet if you are so identified with the hardness that you cannot just let it go, then you can be afraid to let it go, to let it burn, because you do not know what you will have after it leaves. Yet what you will have is the unconditional love of God. And I tell you, it is a good bargain, compared to what is in most people’s hearts today.

Why do people reject Christ? Because they are not willing to give up something in this world, especially a part of the human self, the death consciousness. Many people fail the initiation of encountering Christ and want him to come into their mental boxes instead of leaving the boxes in order to follow Christ. Peter did this to Jesus and the soul of Peter still has not ascended.

This section contains articles on the following topics:

 

It is only through the heart that you recognize Christ

• It is through the heart that the light from your higher self must enter your lower being. It cannot happen through the head.
• You can have any amount of outer knowledge and understanding, yet you are not able to recognize the Living Christ.
• Those who had the power rejected Jesus rather than give up their comfortability and their old beliefs.
• Their hearts were hardened. They were not able to get out of their heads and into their hearts.

Read more about this.

 

What causes people to reject Christ

• There was an entire group of people in ancient Israel who rejected Jesus and his WORD.
• The cause was a state of consciousness. And that state of consciousness is very much still in the world today.
• Many people today claim to be Christians yet they have entered into the same consciousness as the scribes and Pharisees.
• They have shut out the Living Word from their churches, so that they will not allow Jesus, the Comforter – the Holy Spirit – and the ascended masters to speak through their churches today.
• They have been programmed to accept the dead word as the only true word of Christ or the only true word of God.
• Your entry into the spiritual realm will be determined by the WORD, by your acceptance of the WORD.
• You can still enter the kingdom of God while you walk this earth in a physical body.

Read more about this.

 

Why you are forgiven for rejecting the outer Word

• When you are in the consciousness of separation, you cannot accept the Living Word.
• You see Christ as separate from yourself, and you are forgiven for this kind of rejection.
• No, the Living Christ comes to say, “Look, I have discovered God within myself, and so can you discover the God within yourself.”

Read more about this.

 

Why you are NOT forgiven for rejecting the INNER Word

• It is the function of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, to give you that “Aha” experience, that inner realization.
• The sin against the Holy Ghost is when you deny the Living Christ that comes to you inside yourself.
• This denial was exemplified in Paul, who persecuted the Christians until he had an encounter with the Living Christ. Then he was willing to listen to the Holy Spirit that came to him from within.
• You cannot enter the kingdom of God within you, except you accept the one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and become one with it.

Read more about this.

 

The pattern of denying Christ

• Many people want the Living Christ to come into their mental box and conform to it, therefore confirming that box and all of the beliefs within it.
• You must be willing to let the old man, the old identity, die.
• This is the initiation Peter failed and why Peter still has not ascended.

Ascended Master Patrick, May 18, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

My Beloved, one more note on idolatry: I did have a spiritual vision, but I can assure you that when I came to this island and felt the mass consciousness literally seeking to push me into the sea, I had my moments where I was wondering if this was indeed possible. And I only overcame it by being willing to surrender the expectations, and I only surrendered those expectations by making the decision to let it go. The decision that I am not the doer, for it is God within me who is the doer.

I tell you this because I want you to realize, that even for the most spiritually mature people, such as Jesus himself, there are indeed times when your vision is clouded because as yesterday, when you were ascending that mountain, you were literally walking in a dense cloud and you can see only a few yards ahead. And there are times on the path for anyone, where all you can do is to lean forward against the wind, bend the head and determine to keep putting one foot in front of the other until you pass through that cloud and the weather clears.

So many people look back at Jesus’ life, at my life, at Mother Mary’s life and say, “Oh it must have been easy for them, they never had any doubts, they never had any problems, they never encountered any difficulties.” But we all did, you see. So why did we make it? Was it because we were special? Yes indeed, we were special. Was it because we were stronger? Yes indeed we were stronger. Why were we special, why were we stronger? Because we decided to take one more step than the person who gave up. How do you win the race? By always taking one more step than you think is possible or necessary.

For I tell you, truly, as long as there is that doubt in your own being, the forces of this world will pound on you relentlessly as the winds yesterday showed no signs of stopping, no compassion whatsoever. The only way to make it through, is to not let it bother you because you are not attached. You do not have an expectation that it should be easy. I must tell you that so many sincere well-meaning spiritual people have been awakened to the spiritual path, have started doing some outer work, but they have had an expectation that if they were willing to sacrifice themselves, to sacrifice a part of their life in order to promote the spiritual teachings, well then somehow God would make it easy for them. This is something all of you have seen if you will be honest, in yourself and in others. 

And yet you need to be willing to re-asses your expectations, realize your expectations were not realistic, and then keep following your vision, your inner vision, and just share your light and your teachings, no matter what the outer response is. And this is how you will win, this is how you will overcome. For then you come to that point, where there is no resistance in you, so the wind can blow right through you. And then you can move as if there was no wind of the mass consciousness. You see what I am saying, my beloved? They Holy Spirit is a mighty wind. And yes, the Holy Spirit is stronger than any wind on earth. So theoretically, if you have a sufficient flow of the Holy Spirit, you can resist any of the forces on earth.

But do you see that in this Aquarian age we are calling you to come up higher, to go beyond the dualistic game and say, “We will not seek to gain the Holy Spirit in order to push against the false spirits, and impress them with some trickery or some outer physical manifestation. We will instead seek the even higher spirit, the Spirit that is beyond duality that does not push against the forces of this world.” It simply blows right through them, reaching those who are open-minded and have open hearts to the true non-dualistic universal, timeless, eternal, triumphant teachings of Christ that are being brought forth in this age. And they shall continue to be brought forth throughout the Aquarian Age, as long as there are hearts who are open and mouths who are willing to speak the Living Word, which is truly the only way that the teachings of Christ can be brought forth in their pure form.

For my beloved, you can go back and read these words in a book, but will you get the same flow in the voice that is speaking? For surely there is a flow of the Spirit, and there could be an even greater flow of the Spirit, and might be in the future, if it is necessary.

Ascended Master Kuthumi, October 22, 2006 through Kim Michaels.

Beloved, I am the Being who was known as Saint Francis and whom many of you now know as the ascended master Kuthumi. Thus, I have asked the messenger to read the original prayer of Saint Francis and the new prayer of Saint Francis, that I inspired him to write based on the old—but by taking the old one to an entirely higher level, where it is given a completely different tone, vibration and power.

For you see, as the being who was embodied as Saint Francis, I think I should say I have the right to criticize myself and give myself a critical review of what was missing in that embodiment as Saint Francis. For you who know me as the ascended master Kuthumi, will know that I did not ascend after that embodiment, despite the fact that many Christians revere Saint Francis as the ultimate expression, the ultimate embodiment, of the teachings of Christ.

Yet had I fully embodied the teachings of Christ back then, do you not think I would have ascended after that embodiment? Surely, it would have been so. And thus, I might recommend that those of you who feel a tie to me as an ascended master, will study my life as Saint Francis, after you have studied some of the teachings we have given, such as Jesus’ teaching on the ego and the teachings on the duality consciousness. And then you will be able yourselves to get much more detail than what I will give you now. But I will give you some discourse about what was missing in the life of Saint Francis and why such a life, lived in such imitation of Christ, still was not enough to qualify me for the ascension. It was, indeed, in large part because I had not fully understood and internalized the essential principle of becoming the Living Christ, which is that you take command, first over your own being and then you go out and take command over the earth by putting yourself right in the face of those who represent anti-Christ.

Taking a stand

I should, as Saint Francis, have taken a more clear stand against the false leadership and the false doctrines of the Catholic Church, instead of falling under the illusion of misguided loyalty, of confusing the loyalty to Christ with the loyalty to an outer Church who claimed to be the only true representative of Christ. For I should have seen that no outer organization or person can be the exclusive representative of Christ, for no human institution or mental box can hold the Living Christ.

I know full well that there are many people, both in the Christian and New Age community, who revere the prayer of Saint Francis in its different forms. But I must tell you that if you read that prayer, you will see that it was an expression of a state of consciousness that must now go into the dustbin of history and be replaced by the recognition that you are not passive beings, sitting here expecting the genie in the bottle, the God in the sky, to do everything for you.

“Lord make me an instrument of your peace.” No my beloved, you have to choose to be an instrument of peace. You have to choose to let your light shine, so that you do not pray to some remote God to do it for you. For truly, you can of your own self do nothing, but you must still be the open door for the light of God to shine through. For the Light of God must have a lens, a prism, through which it can shine, so that it can be focused here on earth. And that is the step up that Jesus had expressed when he said, “My Father worketh hitherto—and I work.”

And this is what I, as Saint Francis, did not fully embody and what most Christians to this day have not embodied or have not even understood. So they still take a passive approach. They still think that Jesus was a pacifist. No! He was the Prince of Peace. And the Prince of Peace is not a pacifist. Neither is he a warlord who goes out and defeats the forces who create war. For the Prince of Peace is above and beyond duality, and thus he is neither in the pacifist extreme, nor in the warring extreme.

Ascended Master Jesus, March 28, 2005 through Kim Michaels.

You see so many conditions in the earth that spring—not just from the duality consciousness, but from the fact that the soul has been programmed by an outer religion to believe that it should not be experiencing this or that condition. This comes in many disguises, but let me just bring up one example. So many Christians have been brought up to believe that in order to be good Christians, they should never be angry.

And yet they experience situations in their lives that bring up the feeling of anger. But because they are “good Christians,” they do not recognize the anger, they do not take ownership of it. So what do they do? They deny it, they stuff it into the subconscious mind. Yet anger is a form of energy, anger is thought imbued with the power of feeling, and thus it will eventually cycle through the energy system of the material universe, until it manifests as a physical condition in the body or a severe schism in the mind.

How can you be healed of a physical disease that is the product of anger? You cannot be healed fully through surgery or by taking a pill. You can be healed only by recognizing that the condition is the product of anger. Then, you must take an honest look at the anger, going all the way into it, until you discover the cause that made you feel that anger in the first place—and that cause is often an expectation that is not in alignment with the reality of life or the higher will of your being. But until you own the anger, until you take possession of it and accept that you created it by making a choice, and until you discover the cause for why you made that choice, how can you ever give away the anger?

And thus, so many Christians have been brought up with a belief system that does not make sense, that does not answer their questions about life, that does not explain why they have personally encountered tragedy or why one child is born with immense handicaps and another child is born rich or gifted. They see the inequality in the world, and their only option is to reason that God must have created it that way. And yet, when you reason that way, it is inevitable that you will feel that God is unjust, and so there is anger against God.

And so many Christians, in fact over 90% of all of those who call themselves Christians, have an unrecognized anger against God. Yet because they have been programmed with the need to be “good Christians” – because if they are not good Christians they cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and be saved – they have only one option and it is to ignore, deny and suppress that anger.

The master key to healing

Yet how could you possible enter the kingdom of God, when you feel anger against God? You do not want to come close to something that makes you feel anger or fear—you want to run away from it. So how can you enter the inner kingdom until you have resolved your anger, and how can you resolve the anger until you take ownership of that anger and see that it was something you created because you came to believe in one of the serpentine lies?

And now that you own it – now that you understand why – all of a sudden you can do something you could never do before. You can say, “This is anger is mine. I take responsibility for it, and at this very moment, I own it fully.”

And then you can say, “But I also realize that although I created the anger, the “I” that created the anger was the human ego, the human “I.” But I am more than that human ego. I am an immortal being, created by God in his image and likeness. And it was not my Conscious You who created the anger, and thus I don’t want the anger any more, I don’t want it to be part of my being and my life experience.”

And once you realize that the anger is separate from yourself – it is a thing you own and not a part of yourself – at that moment, you have the option to give it away. And instead of giving your anger, or rather trying to give away your anger, by taking it out on other people, you can give it to the one Being who will gladly take your anger. And that being is God, because God loves you and does not want to see you live a life burdened by anger or the effects of anger, such as mental and emotional and physical disease.

God wants you to be free of the anger, and God is an unlimited fire, an all-consuming fire, that can consume the anger in an instant. So God will gladly take it from you, but God gave you free will and will not take your anger until you give it to him. And you cannot give it to him until you take ownership, until you take possession, and you say, “This was created by a part of my being, and thus I accept accountability and responsibility. Yet it was created by a part of my being that is not my true self. Thus, neither my ego nor the anger created by the ego is part of my Conscious You. And I will no longer identify with the ego or with the anger, I will separate myself out from it. I will come apart and be a separate and chosen people, elect unto God because I have chosen to separate myself from the consciousness of death.”

And when you do this, then you can take the anger and you can turn to God – the God in the kingdom within you – and say, “Oh Lord, I offer this to you, please take it from me.” And if you can fully let go, it will be taken. And as the cycles turn in the material universe, even a physical condition that is the result of anger will be taken from you.

Ascended Master Jesus, December 31, 2011 through Kim Michaels.

But you see my beloved, this is not the movement I started 2,000 years ago. Do you not realize, that the Christian religion has painted a man-made image of Christ. If you truly listen to what the Catholic Church is saying about my life, when I walked the earth 2,000 years ago, you would think, my beloved, that I gave my sermon on the Mount in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, would you not? And you realize, of course, that this was not the case, for this monumental edifice to the human ego had not been built by the time I walked the dusty roads of Galilee.

So where did I give my sermons, where did I meet people in the beginning of my mission? I met them like you are meeting today: in private homes, where people came together as the little children, who wanted to hear a new message. And they sensed the message that I gave, they sensed the joy behind it, the joy of having found oneness with something higher than the divisions on earth. And that is the Spirit in which they came together, these early Followers of the Way, who had no agenda, who had no sophisticated arguments, who did not come to be proven right, who did not come to prove me wrong. Even though, of course, you see that some had the consciousness that was illustrated in Peter, of wanting even the living Christ walking with them, to live up to a certain man-made image.

Yet many came, and they were willing to first express their image, but then grow out of it, then transcend it by coming into greater oneness with me as the teacher, by coming into greater oneness with each other as the Followers of the Way. And thus, we of the ascended masters today do not desire to give you a clearly defined doctrine, a clearly defined set of rules. We do not even desire to see you start organizations, that set themselves apart from others or say they are better than others. We desire you to maintain that awareness of the inner child, where you do not think that you know better than the teacher.

For do you not see, that if you really look at a child, you see this great desire to learn. And it is this openness to learning that opens your heart to a teacher, whether it be a teacher in embodiment or the ascended masters. We of the ascended masters look down upon earth, and we are always seeking to help anyone rise higher on their individual path, we are always seeking to give them a teaching.

But we see that there are some that we cannot help, because they do not have the innocence, the childlike mind, the beginner’s mind, the openness of the heart to seeing something that they cannot see today. To letting the teacher take them by the hand and leading them up higher, until they can look back at their former state of consciousness and see: “Ahh, how limited it was, and how glad I am that I now have a higher perspective.”
