Ascended Master Jesus, April 8, 2007 through Kim Michaels.

My Beloved, this is not wrong. You have free will. The world is set up – the world of form is set up as Maitreya explains – to give you a greater appreciation for the oneness of God by realizing and experiencing that there is something outside of that oneness. So you have a right to descend into duality.

The problem is when you become stuck in duality, because not only have you stepped into a role in the theater production called earth – the production where you experience either being a villain or a victim or a hero – but you have become identified with it to the point, where you have forgotten that there is something outside the world stage. And that is when you get stuck and cannot separate yourself from that role. Because of the limitations of time and space, you can stay in that role indefinitely. But since time and space is not indefinite, there must come a time when the opportunity runs out, which is what we have called the second death.

The reality of time and space is that those who have become lost in time and space can indeed come to the point, where their opportunity runs out. And therefore, they must go through the erasing of the dualistic identity that they have come to identify themselves as. And this, of course, is not what God hopes to see, because as Maitreya and Mother Mary explain, you were all created to start out with a limited self-awareness but expand it until you came to the full God awareness, where you realize that you are now the fullness of your Creator while still being an individual being.

God created you to become more; not to become less. So you see, there is nothing wrong with you having the experience of going into the dualistic world, where you have the contrast between light and dark. But when you become stuck in it, that is when we have a problem. That is why the Living Word is then sent in an attempt to awaken you to realize, that there is something beyond the dualistic role you are playing right now.

But in order for you to fully escape that role, to leave that role behind, you have to come to the realization, that you no longer want to experience the contrasts between joy and sorrow, evil and good, light and dark. For you are willing to leave behind that experience and come into the higher experience of the bliss, the oneness, the eternal peace that is available in the spiritual realm. Or rather, even is available in this realm, when you give up the duality consciousness and put on the mind of Christ.

Ponder the very fact that you have grown up in a world with contrast but that there is an alternative to that world of contrast, namely a state of consciousness where you are in the eternal bliss that cannot be pulled into the dualistic extremes. And therefore, you do not experience the sorrow and the suffering so many people find on earth. But neither do you experience the sort of happiness that is in contrast to the sorrow.

You simply need to ponder in your beings whether you have had enough of experiencing the contrast, so that you are now willing to lose that state of life, that mortal dualistic contrasting state of life, and let that life die, to lose that life for the sake of coming into oneness with Christ (Matthew 16:25) so that the Christ within you can take you to that peace, to that bliss, that is untouched by the world and its contrasts.

This, my beloved, is a decision only you can make, and I am not telling you that you should make it at a certain time. I am simply saying that if you could realize in your being that you have had enough of certain things on earth, then there is an alternative. And the only way to truly overcome the sorrow you feel on earth, the suffering you experience on earth, the only way to fully overcome it is to leave behind the duality of both sorrow and joy.

And when you are ready for this, you can indeed do so. You can also stay for awhile in a sort of mixed state, where you still experience some sorrow and some joy, but you are no longer fully identified with it. So when you are in a state of sorrow, you know there is more and you are not so fully enveloped in it that it overtakes you completely. And this again is another experience. And as long as you desire this experience, you have free will.

But again, when you feel you have had enough, then simply let it go. Take my hand and look at the world and look at the things that used to be so important to you, that you thought you would die if you didn’t have this or if you didn’t have your way with other people. Then look at it and say, “What is that to me. I will follow Christ into the eternal peace that is beyond this dualistic struggle” (John 21:22)

This, my beloved, is the gift I came to bring humankind 2,000 years ago, but I did not simply come at a specific time, for truly Christ cannot come in time, Christ cannot be confined to time, Christ comes in the Eternal NOW. Which means that the gift of Christhood has always been available to people and will always be available to them. Yet as we have said, the more people in embodiment can demonstrate the path to Christhood, well the more people will wake up and learn from their example and follow them into that eternal rest, which is not really rest but is truly the dynamic rest of the River of Life.

Thus my beloved, I thank you for your attention. I thank you for your presence at this conference. And I indeed thank you for being willing to be the open doors for the Living Word. For truly, all of you have felt the Living Word in your beings, have felt it stir something. For that I am grateful, and I will be even more grateful if you will multiply what you have received and give it to others. Thus, I shall withdraw, sealing you in my heart, for Mother Mary has something to say to you.

An important part of this mission would be to help the lifestreams in the Middle East overcome the illusion that they are God’s chosen people, and that their traditional culture and lifestyle is somehow ordained by God and thus should be maintained at all costs. It is not rational in this day and age that certain Jewish groups maintain customs, even hair and dress style, that are centuries old. It is not rational that certain Arab groups seek to stop the clock of progress, seeking to maintain a culture that died over a century ago.  

What needs to happen is that the more advanced lifestreams – who have lived and grown up in western nations – seek to help their brothers and sisters who are still in the Middle East overcome their fear of progress, their fear of material and technological progress, their fear of economic progress, their fear of political progress, their fear of democracy and freedom, even their fear of social progress, especially relating to giving women equal status in society.

Yet, sad as it is to say, even the most advanced lifestreams from the twelve tribes that have grown up in the West are a far cry from being able to fulfill this mission, because they are still too rigid in their own approach to life and especially in their approach to religion. As I said, many of these lifestreams are today Christians. And they have done to the Christian religion exactly the same as the most orthodox and rigid Jews have done to Judaism and as the most orthodox and religious Muslims have done to Islam. They have turned it into an exclusivist religion. And they have continued the age-old game of saying that their religion is the only true one and therefore they are better than all non-believers.  

This insanity must come to end, and it will come to end only when those who have either completely transcended the consciousness of the twelve tribes or who are not members of the twelve tribes but have come from other systems of worlds to raise up planet earth, take up their intended role to be the representatives of the Christ consciousness on earth. Once again, we come back to the fact that is the underlying fact upon planet earth. Although planet earth is a crossroads with lifestreams from many different backgrounds, it is a fact that when all of these lifestreams embody on the same planet, they become part of the same web of life. And it is a fact that when one part of this web is raised, it will pull up everyone else. As Jesus said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me.” Thus, if you take a tablecloth and pull up one corner, you will eventually raise the entire cloth.

So, once again, we look to those who are the most advanced spiritual seekers on this planet to be the forerunners for breaking the rigidity of the old consciousness by raising their own consciousness and striving to put on the mind of Christ. Only in this way can we see a domino effect that will eventually reach the Middle East.

Ascended Master Saint Germain, July 4, 2005 through Kim Michaels.

When God sent Moses to the Israelites, he did not send him to a particular group of people. This is simply a symbol for a particular state of consciousness. What does it mean to be God’s chosen people? Who were God’s chosen people, and who are they today?

Well God’s chosen people were indeed those who were created in the spiritual realm as the angels, the representatives of God. That was how they were created; they were created to be the angels in the higher realms who would step down the energies of God to the lower realms. And therefore, they were the first creations of God, and therefore one can say that they were chosen by God to play that important role of stepping down the light for everyone else. But when they became intoxicated with their pride and they fell, they maintained their pride and they have maintained it to this day.

And thus, when Moses was sent to the Israelites, he was sent as a symbol for the messenger of God who comes to those who have fallen because of pride. They think they are the most important beings. They think they are God’s chosen people, and that is precisely why they were given the message that they were the chosen people.

Their test was to realize that they were created for a high estate—they were created for a particular high position, but that they could fulfill that position only through the absolute humility, including the humility of being willing to serve those that they considered below them—and those who are in some sense below them because they were created later, they were created to be the sons and daughters of God who evolve up through the material world, up through the Spiritual realms, until they too reach the fullness of the God consciousness with which the angels were created in the beginning.

So truly, when you understand the equation, you realize that being God’s chosen people on earth is not a very high position. Because it meant that you fell through pride, and that you need to go within, to look in the mirror, to look at the beam in your eye instead of looking at the mote in the eyes of those who are below you in rank but are truly not below you in humility. Did not Christ say, “He would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all” (Mark 10:44). And that is indeed another motto that could blaze across the sky for the Aquarian Age.

Ascended Master Portia, April 19, 2009 through Kim Michaels.

This is, indeed, a test that all must face. It is a test that Jesus had to face in order to attain that level of mastery, where he could be the open door for the light of such a high vibration that it could instantly change matter and therefore manifest what people have called the miracles of Christ. They are not miracles in the traditional sense, they are simply the out-picturing of a higher law. For as I said, it is not possible to change the vibration of matter through the dualistic consciousness. As Jesus expressed it, “With Man, this is impossible”—with the manly, the human, the dualistic, the separate, the mortal state of consciousness, it is not possible to change matter through the power of mind.

It is only possible to change matter through the force that can be exercised through the physical realm. And that is why you indeed see medical technology seeking to increase its power to change disease by force, by destroying the disease, even destroying the body in the process. And so, you need to come to that true realization that Jesus came to, towards the end of his training period, the true realization that it – truly, honestly, absolutely, realistically – is possible to change any condition in matter in an instant—when you switch the mind.

What is it that pulls you away from that knowing, that acceptance? It is the consciousness that has been called “death.” Death has been called the last enemy, for death is the sense that matter is permanent, difficult to change. But behind that, the sense that matter is real, that it has some independent existence, my beloved. This, of course, is based on the illusion of the fallen beings who have rebelled against God and who have created the illusion that separated themselves from God and God’s kingdom, creating a world where God is not. Therefore [they seek] to spread that death consciousness to all people, so that they reinforce it. And through their acceptance of death as inevitable, the acceptance of matter as real and separated from God, they give their light to the fallen beings who have no light, for they cannot receive it from within.

Why? Because they have chosen to go into the ultimate state of separation. There are degrees of separation, [and] until you reach that ultimate state, you still receive some light from your I AM Presence that sustains you. But when you come to that ultimate state of separation, then you can no longer receive the light, for you are not willing to accept it. It is not that the light is not there, that God withholds his light. For I tell you that even the darkest being that you can possibly imagine, be it Lucifer, Satan or whomever, God is not withholding light from them. For God still only desires to see them come back to oneness, but you can come to a point where you absolutely reject that you have the ability to receive light or the willingness or the worthiness or whatever it might be.

And from that point you can sustain any form of self, any form of awareness, only by taking light from others—who are still receiving it from above, but who are misqualifying it through fear, anger or whatever lower feelings that are not of love. And thus, my beloved, you will indeed see that this world is enveloped in a black cloud of the death consciousness. And that is why death is the last enemy. Because it is so difficult to overcome that illusion that matter is real.

For after all, your five senses are telling you that matter is real. And even your outer, analytical mind is telling you that matter is real. And therefore, it cannot simply be changed in an instant. For you cannot see with the outer mind and the senses that behind the matter that seems so solid, there is only light—consciousness. And consciousness can change in an instant.

This you have all experienced—how you can change your mind in an instant, from a state of sorrow, to a state of joy, or the other way around. Consider how simple it is to change your mind in an instant. Consider, my beloved, how women are often accused of changing their minds a thousand times. But realize that the reality here is that women are more in tune with the reality that you have a perfect right to change your mind at any time. For God has given you free will. So who says that because you have chosen to be in a certain state of mind – for a day, or a decade, or ten thousand embodiments – you have to continue to be in that state of mind indefinitely?

This is the death consciousness, my beloved. The death consciousness says that once you have made the mistake of eating a forbidden fruit, of partaking of the duality consciousness, you can never overcome that duality consciousness. The Church of Satan says that once you have accepted membership, you can never renounce it, for you have given your soul to the devil and you can never take it back. But the reality is, of course, that there is no such thing as any permanence in the material realm. That which is unreal cannot permanently affect that which is real.

And so, when you see that you are real, you know that no promise made, no curse put upon you, no illusion can ever hold you any longer than the moment when you decide that you are no longer the person who made the promise or made the mistake or accepted the death consciousness. You have been reborn, and thus you are free. You are free to Be what you want to be. For God within you will say, “I will be who I will be. And now I choose to be MORE than I was before.” And in that choosing, you are reborn, you are free.

Ascended Master Jesus, October 1, 2006 through Kim Michaels.

My Beloved, there are many people who have followed the spiritual path for a long time. There are many people who have studied the teachings of the ascended masters, practiced our techniques, be it decrees or rosaries, and they have done so diligently. And they have made progress by doing so, but there will come a point where you will not make any further progress until you start to consciously make what I have called LIFE decisions.

It is a law of God that the devil is allowed to tempt you. For in being tempted by the death consciousness, you have the opportunity to choose life and prove that you are willing to choose life. And you see the example of how I was tempted by the devil after my stay in the wilderness. And the stay in the wilderness symbolizes that I had withdrawn from the ways of the world, from the consciousness of the world, and put my entire attention on the kingdom of God within me until I connected to that kingdom.

And then, I faced the challenge that when you connect to the kingdom of God and reach a certain level of Christhood, you cannot just sit there in your cave and meditate and be in bliss, for the world is crying in pain. And the role of the Living Christ is not to remove himself from the world, but to be in the world while not being of the world—and thus demonstrate to the people of the world that there is a higher way, not just a different way, but a higher way.

And thus, the Living Christ must go out, and in going out the Living Christ then meets the consciousness of the world as was exemplified by the devil who came to me and tried to tempt me into perverting or aborting my mission to bear witness for the absolute truth of God. The devil tried to tempt me into pursuing worldly goals or denying my Christhood or using it in frivolous pursuits of creating miracles or tempting God to save me.

This is a temptation, but I must tell you that although I was tempted three times, it does not actually mean that the devil can tempt you only three times. For you are the one who must decide how long you will allow the devil to keep tempting you, how long you will allow the worldly consciousness to pull you into this direction or that direction and pull you away from bearing witness to the truth and letting your light shine.

There are people who have been on the spiritual path for decades and who are still allowing the devil to tempt them on a daily basis because they have not been willing to take a firm stand on the rock of Christ and say, “Enough is enough! Get thee behind me Satan!” When you make that decision and you are completely resolved, so that you make it with every part of your being – so that you are not a house divided, but you are of one mind, your eye is single in being focused on the one vision of Christ – then the devil will flee from you. The worldly consciousness will flee from you in the sense that it cannot touch you anymore.

This obviously does not mean that you will not encounter that consciousness. For when you interact with other people, you will encounter their consciousness. But it means that you have established a hallowed sphere inside yourself, and you know that there is a core of your being that the prince of this world, that the forces of this world, that the demons of Mara simply cannot touch. Because it is your hallowed ground. It is the meeting point between your conscious self and your I AM Presence, your God.

This is what I desire to see for each and every one of you, each person who has found my website. For my beloved, the Ask Real Jesus website is far more significant in this age than most of you realize. Think back to how it was 2,000 years ago, how many people recognized my teachings and my disciples as a significant force that would have a major impact on western civilization. Well, it was not very many. For there were not even any written teachings. Nor was there any way to get the teachings out, except by preaching and by word of mouth.

Think about how far we have come in being able to communicate, so that people all over the world can find a higher teaching. The outer teaching that is all they need in order to trigger what they already know in their hearts. For truly, God has written his law in your inward parts. And all you need is an outer stimulus that can help you reconnect to that inner law and that inner truth, and then you can become a spiritually self-sufficient person who has the Christ discernment to know what is real and unreal in your own psyche and in your own world.

Indeed, it will take a period of what I call magnificent confusion before you will have worked your way through the temptations of the worldly consciousness that are many and subtle. Nevertheless, by being willing to enter that state of confusion, to experiment, by being willing to make mistakes and recognizing those mistakes and learning from them, you can shorten the time it takes before you come to that inner wholeness that is sufficient for you to take the firm stand, whereby you can fully and finally rebuke the devil so that he must withdraw from you. Because even the devil realizes that when you take that firm stand on the rock of Christ, if he keeps tempting you, he will judge himself. And since he does not want to hasten his own judgment, he must run away from you.

Have you had enough of duality?

• The world is set up to give you a greater appreciation for the oneness of God by realizing and experiencing that there is something outside of that oneness.
• You have taken on a role but become so identified with it that you think there is nothing else.
• Those who have become lost in time and space can indeed come to the point, where their opportunity runs out.
• In order for you to fully escape that role, to leave that role behind, you have to come to the realization, that you no longer want to experience the contrasts between joy and sorrow, evil and good, light and dark.

Ascended Master Saint Germain, October 29, 2009 through Kim Michaels.

And let me give you the essential key. The dramas have one effect, and what is it? To make you focused on your self, as the separate self defined by the drama, thinking this is all you are, this is all you can be. So, you must find a way to snap out of that focus on self, and what is it? It is to focus on something else beyond that self—other people, a greater cause, doing something that is more than the ordinary, more than what is defined by the dramas. It is the only way, my beloved.

Do you see what happened to Mary and I? We had the inner direction from the Spirit, that we were meant to do something beyond the ordinary. Both of us had our lives on a certain track, that had nothing to do with us coming together, with our great age difference, with our great difference in background, family and culture. We had never envisioned coming together and giving birth to a child and several children.

This was not our outer direction, the outer path that we had envisioned. But we grasped that something MORE. We took that turn and then we knew, that this was our opportunity, our calling, what we had volunteered to do—to bring forth something beyond the ordinary. And we did, in our own way, as best we could with our state of consciousness. And this does not mean that we were perfect, or that you have to be perfect. It means that you have to reach for that something MORE, and be willing to outpicture it in whatever way you can. And then keep expanding and expanding throughout your life, expressing more and more of it, until people can see it.

As Jesus said, they look at you and they see, that this is not an ordinary human being who is expressing what you are expressing. This can only come from something beyond, and this is when you can say with Jesus, “I can of my own self do nothing; it is the Father, the I AM Presence, within me who is doing the works. And your I AM Presence can do similar or greater works through you.”

Ascended Master Jesus, May 10, 2009 through Kim Michaels.

But you see, my beloved, the reality here is this: your ego cannot flow with the River of Life because it cannot live without – it cannot exist, it cannot maintain a sense of self, a sense of continuity – without a fixed sense of identity. 

The ego cannot exist when you are constantly transcending yourself. And that is what I am asking you to keep in mind. Surely, you will go out, you will be confronted with some old momentum. Simply give it up! And accept that you are reborn. 

Whatever comes back to you, give it up. Accept that you are reborn. Whenever a projection comes from any lower state of consciousness, look at it if you need to look for a lie, but do not indulge in it. Do not go in and overanalyze. Look at it and see—for in many cases, my beloved, you have already seen through the lie.

You must understand that you can come to a point where your conscious self has seen through the lie. But you will still be confronted with the momentum, or even with projections from the mass consciousness. And that is why you can say to yourself, “But I thought I had given this up. And now I am experiencing it again. What is happening?”

Well, the reality is that as long as you are in embodiment – as long as you are walking these denser spheres – you will be confronted with momentums and projections from the mass consciousness. But once you have seen through the lie, what you need to do is become aware that this projection is directed at you and then simply give it up and accept that you are reborn, that this is not who you are. That you are more than this.

You see that if every time your ego projects something at you, you use it to be reborn and accept a higher sense of identity, well then your ego will eventually become so scattered – so frustrated, so blown apart by this constant self-transcendence – that it cannot maintain a grip on “reality,” it cannot maintain the continuous sense of identity.

And thus, you are simply accelerated beyond it. There may still be remnants of the separate self, as there will be some remnants of it as long as you are in embodiment. But your conscious self no longer identifies itself with it, because your conscious self no longer has a permanent, fixed, sense of identity that is based on the things of this world.

You realize that you are a spiritual being. And you realize that a spiritual being has no fixed sense of identity but is constantly flowing with the River of Life, is constantly transcending its sense of self. And therefore, you do not need to have that fixed permanent or semi-permanent sense of identity based on the things of this world. You see that you are MORE, and you are constantly flowing with it—you are not holding on to that sense of self. Whenever a limitation of your current sense of self becomes apparent to you, you let it go, you are reborn. You accept that you are reborn as MORE. And thus, the ego simply cannot keep up with you, the prince of this world cannot keep up, my beloved.

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

Ponder these words. Ponder what I have said here, and what I will say again in different ways. The Living Word is what gives you the opportunity to see beyond the filter of duality to realign yourself with the reality of God, the reality of the universal Christ mind, which is the only reality there is, the only reality that is beyond manipulation by the ego.
 
The Living Word can never be manipulated by the ego. There are many people in the world, who think they have the Living Word, but they have imposed an overlay, because they are looking at it through a filter. They have not yet become one with it, but when you become one with the Word, because you are open and you say to yourself, “Listen, I have been on the spiritual path long enough, tiptoeing around my ego, now I want to see it, I want to see what I can’t see, I want to overcome it, I want to see that beam in my own eye because I have had enough of being hindered by this, I have had enough of carrying this cross. I am ready to give up that ghost and let it go as I saw Jesus do when he was hanging on the cross and finally let it go.”
 
This is your potential. You may be able to do this on Easter Sunday, but even if you do not, Easter Sunday is not just one day. For the kingdom of God is at hand, meaning it is always there. So do not panic if you do not have a breakthrough at a certain time, but contemplate these things, contemplate your willingness to let go of these illusions and realize that before you can let them go you must see them. And the only way to see them is to connect to the Living Word, which allows you to see the reality of the dead word, the dualistic word, that might contain an element of truth but is twisted just so slightly that it brings you off the straight and narrow path. And now you do not have the right key to open the door to the inner kingdom.
 
I thank you for your attention. For I must tell you that it is a great joy for me to be able to bring out this teaching—that I could not bring out 2,000 years ago for humankind was not ready. The outer knowledge was not there nor was the inner willingness to come up higher in consciousness. Oh how I wish I could have brought out these teachings 2,000 years ago and that people could have understood them and have used them, for these 2,000 years, to grow. But you see, cycles are cycles and when you become one with the WORD you become a practical realist, for you realize that people can only come up so many steps at a time before they start losing their bearings, losing their moorings, losing their sense of continuity, their sense of identity.
 
So we must take it one step at a time. But it is indeed a great joy to my heart that we have reached this point, and I must tell you that the people worldwide who have studied my website, who have given Mother Mary’s rosaries over these last years, you have made an invaluable contribution to bringing this moment to realization. Certainly, you have not done it alone, for the entire world has come up in consciousness. But I must tell you that had we not seen the response we have seen over these last years, it would have been some time still before I could have released these teachings.
 
So the fact that we can release them now is of great importance, because it gives us the opportunity to avoid certain calamities that could come to pass in the world, because it gives us the opportunity to awaken people so that they can be brought to that point of realization in a positive way. Rather than coming face to face with some outer physical calamity, that finally makes them wake up and realize the transient nature of this world.
 
For after all, what is it that prevents people from locking in to the Living Word? Well, it is that they hold on to the old world view, they will not let it go, they hold on to the filter, thinking they cannot do without it. Many people will not let go of the filter until they are faced with some ultimate calamity and finally feel like the earth is shaking under their feet, and they finally realize that there is nothing in this world that is permanent, that there is nothing you can really hold on to. And then, finally, they can start thinking, “Perhaps I need to let go of the way I have looked at the world and start looking to the spiritual world instead of seeking my security and identity in this transient world, where everything can change in a moment.” So my beloved, I thank you again, and I shall return to give further teachings on the WORD, the Living Word.

When your conscious self first decided to turn its back to the spiritual teacher – the representative of God that you had in whatever higher realm you found yourself in when you decided to experiment with the duality consciousness – when that first happened, you made a decision, and it caused you to lose contact with the teacher. And thus, you felt alone. And you could not bear that sense of aloneness, and therefore you created the ego as a substitute teacher, as a replacement for the real teacher, whether it be Lord Maitreya in the Garden of Eden or other ascended beings in other realms and systems of worlds. For truly, many people on earth come from far-away places in this universe and beyond.
 
And thus, it is indeed true that many people believe that the ego and the prince of this world are their true teachers. There are even those who believe that the devil himself is the true liberator of humankind because as they say “Until we rebelled against the will of God, we did not truly have freedom and free will.” There are those who seriously believe that it was in the act of rebelling against God that human beings attained free will. But my beloved, if you did not already have free will, how could you have the option to rebel against God? And if God really was out to control you, why would he allow you to rebel against his law and separate yourself from him?
 
I know that the ego and the false teachers of this world have an array of sophisticated arguments against this simple logic. But when you look at it with the innocent mind of a child, you realize that all the sophistication is just camouflage, and it makes no sense. And thus, you can avoid following the subtle logic of the false teachers of this world who have only one goal in mind. And that is to keep the Conscious You thinking it is separated from your own higher being and from your God—and that you cannot come back to oneness with God on your own, that you need a savior from outside yourself.
