Ascended Master Archangel Michael, July 24, 2004 through Kim Michaels.

I know that so many people on earth have been brought up with the false doctrine of original sin. They have been brought up to see themselves as sinners who can do nothing right, and that everything they do is a sin. But I am here to tell you that this is a lie, spread by the forces of anti-christ. The consciousness of sin and the concept of original sin never came from God, never came from the ascended masters. It is a lie, manufactured by the forces of anti-christ who are seeking to prevent you from coming home to the kingdom of God. And I know that so many of you have been brought up to see that the kingdom of God is up here in heaven. Yet I tell you that the most profound teaching ever given on the kingdom of God was given in one simple sentence, spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ.

He said, “The kingdom of God is within you.” He did not say the kingdom of God is up there in heaven. He did not say it is in the Pacific Ocean or on the South Pole. He did not say it is in a certain Church, a certain place. He did not say it was somewhere else outside of you. He said, “The kingdom of God is within you.”

I know that all souls on earth have been programmed by the forces of anti-christ to look for the kingdom of God outside themselves. But I tell you this day, “You will not find the kingdom of God as long as you look for it outside yourself.” As beloved Mother Mary explains, most souls on this planet have a deep inner longing for something. They know there is more to life. They want to find it. They know there is something to find. And you must understand that not even the forces of darkness can turn off that longing. So the forces of darkness do two things to prevent you from finding that which you know is there.

They seek to cause you to ignore your inner longing so that you indulge in the pleasures of this world, in the endless search for some ultimate experience that you will never find through any of the pleasures of this world. Their second strategy is to cause those who are willing to forsake the things of this world – those who are truly walking the spiritual path – to cause those people, those souls, those seekers to look for the kingdom of God somewhere outside themselves. And I must tell you today that there is hardly a religion on this planet, which has not been influenced by the forces of anti-christ and the lie that the kingdom of God is somewhere outside yourself.

So many of the religions that we have given you started out as a true religion, because they were started by one person who had realized the truth that the kingdom of God is within. The Buddha had realized this truth, and so had Jesus Christ. And they both preached the inner path to the inner kingdom. Yet when the original founder was gone, those who could not grasp the inner path, or those who were not willing to follow that inner path, immediately moved into positions of power in that religion. And ever so gradually and ever so subtly, they started perverting the teachings of that religion. And they started creating a false doctrine that the kingdom of God is somewhere outside yourself, and that you cannot reach that kingdom without going through an outer authority, such as their Church and the leaders of their Church.

I dare you to read the scriptures

I now speak to all who call themselves the followers of Jesus Christ, all who call themselves Christians, and I dare you to read the scriptures that you consider to be the infallible word of God and see how many times your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ challenged those who promoted the outer path, those who had set themselves up as the only doorway to the kingdom of heaven, those who said to the people, “You can reach God only through us, you can be saved only through our religion.”

This is the lie that Jesus challenged on so many occasions—and he did so on many more occasions than recorded in the scriptures. He challenged this lie wherever he met it. And these were the people who would not bend the knee before the Living Christ, even though he stood before them. And they were the ones who attacked him, who plotted against him and who eventually killed the Living Christ. And after they had killed the Living Christ, they attempted to kill his followers. And when they could not kill all of his followers, they attempted to kill his teaching.

And they have been so successful that the vast majority of Christians today simply could not recognize the true teachings that Jesus gave—if they encountered those teachings as they can do in the books brought forth through this messenger. They simply would not dare to accept that Jesus Christ could say something that goes beyond their doctrines. And yet those doctrines are based on the lies of anti-christ that the kingdom of God is somewhere outside yourself.

Ascended Master Archangel Michael, July 24, 2004 through Kim Michaels.

I tell you truly that although there are many religious groups on this planet who give their prayers and decrees and other exercises, and although these efforts do make a difference on earth, I must tell you in all honesty that nothing that human beings can do will remove the forces of anti-christ from this planet. The only way to remove the forces of anti-christ from earth is that a critical mass of people must dare to be the Living Christ here below, as we are the Living Christ Above.

And as Jesus Christ told you, “I of my own self can do nothing.” It truly is the Father within me who is doing the work. And therefore, as long as you think that the way to bring God’s kingdom to earth is to resist the forces of darkness, you will be caught in a dualistic struggle with those forces that will never end—until you decide that enough is enough. The true path, preached by the Buddha and by Jesus Christ and by all true spiritual teachers, is the path of going within and manifesting your oneness with God, your oneness with your I AM Presence, your oneness with the ascended master who is your personal sponsor and spiritual teacher, so that you can be one with that master and you can be the master here below as that master is the Christ Above.

The true path of the master/disciple relationship is not that you follow a master or a guru or a teacher and keep following that master forever. The true path is that you rise above being a follower, so that you become one with that teacher. And you dare to claim your oneness with that teacher here below. This is the path that Jesus taught and demonstrated to his disciples. He did not teach it to the multitudes because they were not ready for this path.

But he taught it to his disciples. And some of his disciples understood it, and some did not. And most notably; Peter did not understand it. And that is why, when he was asked, he denied his oneness with Jesus. Christians have misunderstood this situation and think that Peter simply protected himself and that it had no great significance. But truly, what Peter did in those three situations was to deny his oneness with his guru, with his master. He refused to say, “I am the Living Christ, as Jesus is the Living Christ!” And thereby he denied the inner path to the inner kingdom.

Therefore I ask you, with all the fervor and love of my heart, “Please stop denying the Living Christ within you!” Please allow the perfect love from myself, as you give my rosary, and the perfect love of Mother Mary, as you give her rosaries, to consume your idolatry, your fear, your fear that you cannot be the Christ, that you are unworthy. Allow it to be consumed by that flame of love, so that one day you can say – and when I say one day I do not mean in some distant future that never comes, I mean in the eternal now, when the decision comes from inside your being – and you are willing to stand before the world and say, “I AM one with Christ.” And therefore, “I AM Jesus Christ, as Above so below.”

This is my calling. And I seal you in the love of my heart. The love that behind the power is so tender that I wish all human beings could experience it, even for just a second. Therefore I say, “Be sealed in the love of an Archangel. Amen.”

Ascended Master Jesus, August 19, 2003 through Kim Michaels.

Do you understand that we have never desired to give forth any religious or spiritual teaching that was absolute, complete or infallible. There has never been, on planet earth, any Church that had a patent on God, a patent on truth or a patent on the ascended masters. We do not grant exclusive rights to anyone.

We desire to bring forth the Living Word. The Living Word is not a dead outer doctrine. It cannot be fixated in time and space. It is ever flowing. It is alive. It is ever moving. Therefore, the only true Church of God, of Jesus Christ and of the ascended masters is the living Church, which brings forth the Living Word.

You cannot create a Church that brings forth a teaching and then stop the delivery of the word and maintain that Church as a living Church. The moment that the flow of the Living Word stops, any organization will start stagnating and calcifying.

You might look at a given Church and say, “But this Church was founded by the ascended masters. We have been told that it has the highest teachings on the planet. We have been told that it has everything we need for our salvation.” Yet I tell you, no Church is different from all the other churches we have started throughout history. And if you look at those churches, you will see exactly what happens to any Church after the flow of the Living Word stops.

The organization starts calcifying and becoming rigid, and then it attracts people who are rigid, who want to be comfortable, who want to have an automatic path, a guaranteed path to salvation. This then is the false path of the false teachers who have come to this earth since the Fall of Man. They have come and presented an outer path. They have made the promise that, “If you follow us, we can guarantee your salvation.” If you follow the outer organization and follow its rules and doctrines, if you do all the practices that you are supposed to do, if you follow all of these outer rules, you will automatically be saved.

Well, this is a lie!
This is a lie!
This is a lie!
It is an evil lie. It is an insidious lie.
Unfortunately, it is also a pervasive lie, a persuasive lie.

And many people have bought into it on this planet. Millions of people, in fact almost everyone on this planet, have bought into this lie of the outer path. I say to you again, “There is no outer path!” There is no automatic path to salvation because you have free will.

I am Jesus Christ. I have been appointed by God as the savior of all mankind. Do you think I can guarantee your salvation? Nay, I cannot guarantee anything because I cannot and will not act against your free will. I cannot save you for you. Only you can save yourself by making the choice to be who you are in God, to overcome the false sense of identity, to overcome the pseudo self and to be all that you are—and more.

The forces of anti-christ have done everything they could to make it difficult to walk the mystical path. This includes creating an entire false path that promises salvation but fails to deliver. Mainstream Christianity is just one example of the false path.

The distinction between the true and the false path is subtle. That is why we need Christ discernment and the teachings and light from the ascended masters in order to have a frame of reference. The mainstream religions of the world present the false path. If that is all we have ever seen, we have no foundation for seeing that it is a false path.

The false path promises you that if you follow the prescripts of an outer religion, you are guaranteed to be saved. It also says that you can be saved only through an established church and its hierarchy of human beings. The true path says that salvation is exclusively a matter of you rising above the illusions of anti-christ and attaining personal Christhood. You need no authority on earth because everything depends on your inner relationship with your higher self and the ascended masters.

This section contains articles on the following topics:

The false path of initiation under the Serpents

• There are no conditions that determine whether you can walk through the doorway to heaven, there are no conditions you need to fulfill in order to walk through that door.
• You need to overcome all conditions in your own mind, so that you are the open door.
• You can remove the conditions only when you are willing to look at them.
• The false path of initiation under the Serpents say you can be saved without looking at the beam in your own eye.
• This false path of initiation has increased your skill in justifying these conditions.
• The false path is subject to the law of karma, to the law of action and reaction, and the second law of thermodynamics.
• The Serpent can only offer you illusions. They are clever illusions, but in the end the second law of thermodynamics will ensure that they will be challenged.

The false quest for status and false self-esteem

• The worldview that you have when you follow the path of the false teachers is that you have a value, a status, that is dependent upon the outer initiations that you have followed on this false path.
• You build a self-esteem based on your outer accomplishments, your knowledge, your understanding.
• The false path cannot give you true self-esteem, because you cannot acquire true self-esteem as long as there is something in your own being that you are not willing to look at.
• The entire idea of the false path is that there is an outer standard, which will determine your entry into heaven.

Ascended Master Saint Germain, June 22, 2013 through Kim Michaels.

When you have this Christ discernment, you can step back and you can begin to ask some of the millions of questions that people who are trapped in the consciousness of separation simply cannot ask because they cannot even conceive of these questions. I already gave an example of how the scientific elite can sit there and spend billions of dollars researching inconsequential theories, seeking to prove inconsequential theories, while millions of people are starving.

You can ask: “How is it possible that you can have these nations that have such a high degree of material welfare – such that truly no one needs more and certainly no one should want more – as long as there are two billion people or more living under the poverty level and millions of people starving?” Only the consciousness of separation can explain the fact that many among the richest nations are completely absorbed in their affluent lifestyle, only focused on getting more and more money, more and more property, bigger houses, bigger cars, more vacations. And by the way, when they go on vacations, do they go and see how people really live in other parts of world? Nay, they may travel to a country where there are many poor people but they travel to the protected and exclusive tourist resorts that are set up by the international power elite.

What kind of consciousness fails to have compassion for the fact that not everyone has a lifestyle that is worthy of spiritual beings? Well, only the consciousness of separation. I am not here seeking to blame anyone nor am I seeking to shame anyone into changing their approach. I am simply pointing out that what will bring the golden age into manifestation is that millions of people attain a degree of Christ discernment where they naturally begin to ask these questions and ask them publicly, project them out publicly through all means available to them. This ranges from discussing this with their acquaintances to writing about it in any outlet where there is an opening, and even creating outlets where there is no opening such as creating organizations that seek to raise awareness about these issues. This includes the organization Mother Mary outlined the last time we gave a conference here in Kazakhstan, of an organization raising the awareness of the issues related to women. But there are many other such organizations that can be created to raise awareness of particular issues.

For that matter, it is possible to create a worldwide umbrella organization that has as its goal to raise awareness through all means possible. This, of course, is an endeavor that will require many people of a variety of experiences. You may say: “Well, what about the United Nations, is that not one of the purposes behind the United Nations?” Certainly it could be, but right now it is not being fulfilled as I envision it for there are, of course, not enough people who dare to openly acknowledge that life has a spiritual side. Society, civilization cannot fulfill its potential if we do not acknowledge that life has a spiritual side. There is only so far we can go as human beings. Only when we achieve Christ discernment, will be able to step back and ask the questions that we cannot even ask from the consciousness of separation.

Ascended Master Lord Maitreya, August 27, 2012, through Kim Michaels

Christ light is the cure of this I am sure but are you equally sure? Most human beings are not for the simple reason that the aim of the fallen beings who rebelled against God and embodied the serpentine consciousness has been to divide you in yourself with the poison of doubt. You doubt that Christ light truly is the cure that can cure all ailments on earth.

The Christ light is everywhere and in everyone. Without him was not anything made that was made. The Christ light has the potential to rise up and throw off the shackles of the fallen consciousness. Yet for this to happen in you, you must be sure, as Jesus demonstrated that he was sure when he healed the sick, rose up the dead, cast out the evil spirits, walked on the water, transformed the water into wine and performed these other feats that demonstrated that the Christ light has mastery over matter because matter is made out of the Christ light. That which is made out of the Christ light can accelerate beyond any lower manifestation and manifest the matrix that comes through the sacred geometry of the Christ mind.

The Christ light in you can throw off the shackles of the human consciousness, and the fallen consciousness, and the ego consciousness and any other consciousness that exists on earth. But it can only do so if you are sure, and this of course is the existential problem, as they say. For how can you be sure that the Christ light is the cure when you look at everything through a filter that is coloured by the consciousness of anti-christ – the consciousness of division and separation.

Ahh so many people have looked at the Christ through that filter and come up with an image of Christ that has nothing to do with the reality of Christ, as witnessed very clearly by the development of the Christian religion and its willingness to even kill in the name of Christ. It would kill and torture its own members in the name of Christ which had only the effect, as Jesus said, of splitting the soul.

Do you realize that the very Church that claimed to represent Jesus on earth was guilty of countless murders and tortures that split the soul? And they thought they did it in the name of Christ. How can you be sure that Christ light is the cure when you do not see the Christ light as pure but only see a mirage? You see that there is something moving behind the curtain as in those theatres where you have a white sheet and the light behind it and you see the shadows of puppets moving behind it. You see through a glass darkly. How can you ever be sure?

Experiencing the Christ light

You see my beloved, there is a common misunderstanding among many spiritual students that we of the ascended masters are seeking to bring forth some ultimate teaching, but no teaching formulated in words can make you sure. For any teaching in words can be counteracted by a false teaching formulated in words. Thus, the serpentine mind can sow doubt about any teaching, as witnessed by the illustration of even the serpent where he just needed to insert one word ‘thou shalt not surely die’ and then there was doubt.

She was not sure, because she did not believe she would ‘surely’ die. So what is the key? How can you be sure? Only when you experience the Christ light. And at first you cannot experience it in yourself so you must experience it in someone else, someone who has embodied it and become the open door for it.

That is why Jesus took embodiment, that is why we have in various ways attempted to give people that experience of the Christ light. Which you can experience also through our dictations, but not exclusively through our dictations for it manifests in many ways and they are not all openly spiritual or given by spiritual gurus or teachings. You may even encounter people in seemingly ordinary situations in life who can be at least temporarily the open door for an expression of the Christ light.

Then your job is to take in that Christ light, to accept it into your being and to keep using it as a frame of reference when you encounter the fallen consciousness so that you are pulled back into oneness, seeking oneness with the light. Then you can gradually build the momentum that brings you to that point where now you are sure. You do not even need to declare that you are sure for you know within that you are sure and that you stand upon the rock of Christ. You cannot be moved by the rains and the winds of the fallen consciousness or by the subtle temptations of the serpent.

You continue to move forward according to your vision for you have, as Mother Mary said, regained and reclaimed your innocence, your inner sense of what is Christ reality that does not depend on anything outer, including an outer teaching, or religion, or science, or political party philosophy. Nothing in this world will make you sure. Look at those who have attempted to elevate some religion to this ultimate status and see where it has gotten them.

When the mind is like a merry-go-round

Let me explain to you the effect of what has been talked about by other masters of the fallen consciousness in your being. Words can be used to argue for or against any point. When you focus on words instead of the Word, you will be divided. The faculty of your mind that deals with words is the analytical, intellectual, linear mind. It uses words to make distinctions between various forms in the world of form. This is perfectly legitimate, but the serpentine mind takes advantage of this useful ability and turns it into a trap.

How can you know whether you are affected by the fallen consciousness? By observing yourself and seeing how often you are trapped in these situations where your mind keeps going around and around, arguing for or against this. I shouldn’t have done that, I should have said that instead of what I said, this person did something wrong, this person said that, this teaching is not right.

You are seeking to use words to argue for or against any point. This is the effect that the serpentine mind has. It causes you to doubt, and you frantically seek with the mind to come up with some ultimate argument that no one can defeat, that no one can reject, that no one can cast doubt upon. My beloved, those of us who have been in embodiment in a sphere as dense as planet earth know that it seems very alluring, very tempting, that if you have some superior teaching, if you have the Christ light, if you have a connection to the ascended masters you should be able to come up with some ultimate argument. But it cannot be done with words.

There is no ultimate argument. There is no ultimate teaching. Christ light is the cure. When you are in the Christ light, experiencing the Christ light, when the Christ light is your frame of reference you are sure that this is reality. You are also sure that no matter what argument anyone might come up with for or against a certain point, it is not ultimate reality for nothing expressed in words can be ultimate reality.

If you seek to find surety through words, you will never be sure. Only the light will make you sure. Only through oneness, through experiencing the light, will you know for sure what is true, what is real, what is light and what is not light.

There are no problems you have to solve

Be willing to observe yourself and see when the mind starts these loops and when the mind goes into this mode of presenting you with a problem and projecting that you have to solve it. There is no problem on earth that can be solved through the analytical mind. This is one of the lies projected by the fallen beings, heavily reinforced by modern science but existing long before science entered the scenario on earth.

Words cannot resolve any problems or conflicts or disagreements, only the light can bring resolution, only light can bring the solution to end the confusion. What can you do then when you observe that your mind is going round and round in these endless loops? Well, certainly you can realize that you have energy of a lower vibration accumulated in your four lower bodies and you can use the decrees and tools we have given to begin to dissolve it so that you lessen the pull on the mind.

Beyond that, you can appeal to us, the ascended masters – Jesus, Mother Mary, Gabriel, Raphael, Maitreya, Gautama – any Master that appeals to you, any Master that is close to your heart. Appeal to us to help you transcend the loops of the mind, the frantic analytical mind. Appeal to us to help you to step outside of the mind loop, the closed trap of the mind, the serpent swallowing its own tail that you may experience the Christ light that is the cure. Then be willing to open yourself, be willing to look beyond all these statements with words that you think are some ultimate truth, or some ultimate teaching.

Be willing to look at yourself and catch yourself when you find yourself arguing about some element of a spiritual teaching. Perhaps you are even using an ascended master teaching to argue with someone else about some point that has no ultimate significance for your own ascension but only keeps you from your ascension because it keeps you trapped in the endless loop of the mind. Be willing to catch yourself and then make the decision: “Ahh! there is the mind doing its thing again, but I am not the mind I am more than the mind and thus I will reach up to my spiritual teacher and say:”

Show me the way,

show me the way out of the fray

of this endless mind

that can never be kind,

so the truth I may find

and no longer be blind,

blinded by the mind,

that can never be refined

to become the Christ light that I AM.

The mind cannot ascend

The mind will never be raised up so it can enter heaven. The mind thinks that if it can find some ultimate teaching, some ultimate solution, then it will be acceptable in the eyes of God. But you will not enter the wedding feast unless you put on the wedding garment, and you will not put on the wedding garment through the mind no matter how sophisticated you might become. The scribes and Pharisees thought that their sophistication of knowing the scriptures had qualified them to enter the kingdom, and what did Jesus say: “Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father will ye do for he was a murderer from the beginning, seeking to murder innocence, the inner sense of oneness with Christ, that can never be attained through the mind.”

The mind can only deal with divisions, therefore it must raise up some argument over another and you cannot enter oneness with Christ by seeking to put down another form of life and raising yourself up in comparison to them. In Christ all are one for there is no value of lesser or more.

Ascended Master Jesus, June 17, 2012 through Kim Michaels.

What is planet earth, my beloved? Well, some of you are familiar with an old television show called “Star Trek.” Some of you will know that in the spaceship “Enterprise” they had something called a “holodeck,” and when you went into the holodeck, a computer would simulate a completely artificial environment. While you were inside the holodeck, the environment seemed completely real to you. So planet earth is simply a reality simulator.

We have talked about the cosmic mirror. We have said the Ma-ter light will take on any form projected upon it and this true. But the purpose is to give you the experience that you have said you wanted based on the mental images you have formed in your mind and have projected into the cosmic mirror.

One side of the purpose is to give you that experience, give you the return of what you are sending out. The other aspect is to make what comes back seem completely real. The effect of this is that if you are not taking responsibility for having sent out the impulse – as you cannot do when you go into duality, when you go below the 48th level of consciousness – then you will believe that what you are experiencing on earth is a completely real world created by some external source, be it an almighty God in heaven or natural processes.

Do you see the point? You believe this a real world and therefore you can believe that this is not the result of your state of consciousness and that your state of consciousness cannot do anything about this. You think you cannot transcend these outer conditions but that you must submit your Spirit to them and that you must adapt to conditions, rather than taking dominion over the earth and exercising your potential to be a co-creator.

Awakening from simulated experiences

You see, there is nothing wrong with this. This is the outplaying of free will. Free will gives you the right to go below the 48th level. When you go below the 48th level of consciousness, you begin to believe in the illusion that the world in which you live is a real world that cannot be changed by people’s state of consciousness. This is one of the two types of experiences that a reality simulator is designed to give you.

The first experience is an immersion experience. You are immersed in the world created by the simulator and you believe it is completely real. You believe it has power over you, not only physically but even power over your Spirit so that you must adapt to it.

Go back 2,000 years when I walked the earth. The vast majority of the people on this planet, as the vast majority of the people today, were completely absorbed in the immersion experience. What did I come to show, what did the Buddha come to show, what did PadmaSambhava come to show, what did all the spiritual people come to show?

We came to show that the immersion experience is not the only experience you can have inside the reality simulator called earth. The other type of experience you can have is an awakening experience where you begin to awaken from the sense that the world in which you live is real, is unchangeable. This is when you start the upwards path of going through the seven rays, gradually attaining mastery over the seven spiritual energies that make up the entire material universe. At the 96th level you do have some mastery of mind over matter so that you do no longer believe that matter is real or that matter has power over your Spirit.

Become aware of reactionary patterns

All of you who are here, all of those who will read or listen to this dictation, you have all shifted. You are no longer completely absorbed in the immersion experience, you have shifted into the awakening experience. It is only a matter of how you have progressed in the process that leads you from total immersion to total awakeness.

By becoming consciously aware that this is the process in which you are engaged, you can make it much easier for yourself. You can begin to look not only at your reactions, not only at the beliefs behind the reactions but you can begin to ask yourself: “Why does this seem real to me? Why does it seem real that this or that condition has power over me? Why does it seem real that I have to become upset when other people do certain things, is it really necessary? Do I really have to always react this way?”

My beloved, you can try with the outer mind and the outer will to force yourself to change that reactionary pattern, and you may have some limited success with this. But the far more mature approach is to keep questioning until you come to the point where suddenly there is this subtle shift, and now the very condition to which you used to react, simply no longer seems real to you.

When it no longer seems real to you, it will no longer have power over you. Do you not see that only when something has an appearance of reality, will it have power over you. Only that which you think is real will be able to convince you that you have to adapt or limit your Spirit according to this outer appearance. Indeed, it is an important step to take, to take some time to look at your life and see what is real.

What seems real, what seems like it has power over me and then begin to question those beliefs behind it. Why does this seem real?

Dare to leave the box

As our other messenger explained her involvement with the banking world where she grew up in a communist country, where there was very little opportunity to rise beyond the general level of poverty. When her country suddenly was freed from the yoke of communism, there was new opportunity. She decided that she wanted to escape the poverty in which she had grown up. She took a realistic assessment and realized that the only opportunity really to escape this economic poverty was to go into the corporate world and the banks were the biggest corporations in the country.

This was the most realistic opportunity, and for a number of years it seemed real to her that she had to force her creative personality and Spirit to fit into this corporate box as many of you have done also. Then there came a point where it no longer seemed quite as real, quite as important, where she began to see the contradictions. She began to see that it was really a dead end, it was all an act, an appearance and many of you are in the same situation or have gone through these same steps.

For a time you have been immersed in certain circumstances but then gradually these faint little thoughts begin to creep into your mind. What I am suggesting is that if you will make the conscious effort, you can come to see that what is really happening here is that you are beginning to question the reality of your circumstances and your limitations. If you will make a conscious effort to accelerate this process, you can fairly quickly come to the point where now the veils have come down and you realize you have an opportunity beyond this box. You have an opportunity for creative expression.

Ascended Master Hilarion, November 26, 2011 through Kim Michaels.

For it is not a matter of finding an ultimate truth—and once you have found that ultimate truth, you are guaranteed to go to heaven. How do you actually go to heaven? Well, as Serapis pointed out: by entering the ascension spiral, which is a spiral, where you are constantly accelerating yourself by transcending your current state. So if you think that you have found an ultimate truth – whether it be in Christianity, Buddhism, Islam or an ascended master teaching – then you are not accelerating.

For now you are using the outer teaching to create a framework, a mental box, or a weapon to use against others in the egoic desire to raise yourself up in comparison to others. “Truth” has so often on earth been used as a weapon to justify aggression against others. Yet, you will not get beyond the kindergarten stage on the fifth ray, until you completely let go of this tendency to use “truth” to put others down.

For what is ultimate truth? It is that all life is one and that God the Creator wants all life to grow, and transcend, and come back into oneness. And so, if you are trapped in the idea, that there is a truth that can be defined on earth and that can be set apart from all other truths, so to speak, then you are trapped in the belief that truth is relative. You have taken one relative truth and elevated it to the status of being absolute. Yet the absolute truth is, of course, the Spirit of God. The absolute truth is the wholeness of the entire world of differentiation. And so, to take one part and impart it with absolute value is a fundamental misunderstanding of the very nature of the differentiated world.

It can only spring from ego, it can only spring from separation; there simply is no other explanation, regardless of the fact that people will come up with seeming explanations or justifications.

Truth is beyond words

For another thing you must realize on the fifth ray – in order to get out of these initial groups, that are the kindergarten stage – is that ultimate truth cannot be expressed in words. Because words have different meanings, and thus you can always twist and turn the words to justify anything that you want to justify.

And this is precisely the initiation that is illustrated in the story of the serpent and Eve. Where the serpent presents her with the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This is, of course, as we have said before, the relative knowledge of two dualistic polarities, that can only exist in relation to each other.

Truth is only truth – relatively speaking – when it is contrasted with error or lie. And that is why – when you are trapped at this level of looking for the ultimate truth, and thinking you have found an ultimate truth on earth – then you will so easily be tempted to use it to judge other people, and to try to either control them, or if they will not be controlled, try to punish and destroy them.

This is a pattern that you see repeated so many times throughout the world. Look at how religious organizations, such as Christianity and Islam, have fought wars over this. Look at how two fragments of Christianity, the Catholic and the Protestant fragments, fought wars over this issue. Look at how communism set itself up as having the ultimate truth, and again was warring with everyone, was willing to kill millions of people in order to establish their truth as the dominant one.

You see, my beloved, there is absolute truth and there is dominant truth. If you think that while you are still in embodiment on earth, you have found an absolute truth, that can be defined as a system in this world, you are demonstrating that you have not grasped the reality of absolute truth. Thus, you are not really on a quest for absolute truth; you on a quest for a dominant truth, that you can use to domineer others. And this is, indeed, the power struggle you see in so many religious movements, and in political movements, and even in the movement of materialism.

You will not get beyond the kindergarten stage in the fifth ray retreat, until you see the futility of seeking to use a relative truth as a weapon against others. And you see this when you tune in to the fact, that absolute truth is beyond words, and that the absolute truth is that all life is one and that God wants to raise up all.

You cannot then believe in the lie, that you can do God’s work by putting down another part of life. You know that you are only doing God’s work, when you are seeking to raise up the whole. And therefore, you might very well challenge other people, but you do not seek to put them down. For you realize, that then you are putting down the whole and that is also your self, your greater self.

Ascended Master Archangel Michael, June 10, 2010 through Kim Michaels.

Do you see, my beloved, if you are not totally anchored in yourself, if you are not spiritually self-sufficient, then you do not have the frame of reference inside yourself in order to know what is real and unreal, in order to know that oneness is real. For if you do not experience oneness inside yourself, then you cannot fully know that oneness is the underlying reality. You may understand it intellectually but you do not “know” through gnosis, through oneness between the subject and object, between the knower and the known.

And then, when you do not have this firm inner frame of reference, your mind is open to an external frame of reference, that then makes you doubt yourself. And through that doubt, you then become open to the fallen consciousness, to the consciousness of separation and all of its lies and arguments and very subtle turning on its head every teaching you have been given before. Making you therefore doubt not only the teaching but first of all your own inner ability to know what is real and unreal by referring to something inside yourself.

You are pulled into focusing your attention on something outside of yourself, and then you think that external thing is or should be your absolute frame of reference for what is real and unreal. And that is how people are led into following a particular outer guru or a particular outer teaching, such as the Catholic Church.  And thus you see again, the Peter consciousness represents precisely this: the desire for an outer frame of reference, that you will not give up even though you are face-to-face with the Living Christ. Even though you walk and talk with the Living Christ in a form that you can see, as Peter did, you will not give up that external frame of reference, you will not let it die. You want the Christ to validate your frame of reference, to conform to it, to come into your mental box. This is what Peter attempted to do to Jesus, it is what the Catholic Church has attempted to do to Jesus, to God, to Reality ever since. This is what every other system on earth has attempted to do, including the communist system, that you are familiar with as students who have been affected by the Soviet Union in any way.

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

You see people who condemn others, feeling they must somehow be bad people—that God is punishing them. But the underlying belief is that people have created a false image of God. They think that God is the ultimate judge who sits up in heaven, looking down upon you with a stern expression on his face, scratching his long beard, ready to condemn you for any mistake you make. Especially, my beloved, the blasphemy, so-called, of disobeying the earthly Church that claims to represent that remote God in the sky.

And yet, despite the fact that you have been brought up to fear God – so through that outer fear you obey the earthly institution and its hierarchy – despite that fact, they also want you to believe that this God is good. And so, a good God, then, could not possibly cause people to be sick. And thus, it will only make sense that people are sick as a punishment for some wrong they have done.

They must have done something wrong, for God could not have made the mistake of creating a world where there is sickness, disease and illness and death. And so, you see the concept of justice, as it is commonly seen on earth, is intricately linked to this false concept of the external, judgmental God.

Did not Jesus say that his father judges no man, for he has left all judgment to the Son? The Son is the Christ consciousness. The Christ consciousness is One, it is Oneness. It is meant to enable all self-aware beings with free will to experiment with their free will freely. For no matter how far they might descend into a lower state of consciousness, they can, at any moment, reach for the Christ. And the Christ will then help them free themselves from that limiting state of consciousness. That is the true meaning of Christ the Redeemer.

And so, the Christ does not judge the way human beings judge. But the Christ is simply that immovable rock, the same yesterday, today and forever in the sense that the Christ consciousness is always in oneness with its source, with the Divine Father, with its Creator.

And so, the judgment of the Christ consciousness is to separate oneness from division, to separate those who are committed to oneness and the consciousness of oneness from those who are still attached to and not willing to give up the illusion of separation.
