Christ discernment

When Jesus walked the earth, he often talked about those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. He was not referring to the physical senses but to the inner ability to discern between the illusions of anti-christ and the reality of the Christ mind.

Most people are blinded by the consciousness of anti-christ or the consciousness of duality. This state of mind makes it possible to justify doing anything you want, which is why you see people who can obviously go against the commandments of Christ while believing this is fully justified by Christ. This explains why the Christian religion has committed so many acts of violence throughout its history.

Christ discernment is an essential quality to develop on the mystical path. This section talks about what discernment is and how you can begin to acquire it.

This section contains articles on the following topics:

 

We have taken on illusions in order to help others

  • Many spiritual people have taken on certain dualistic illusions in order to demonstrate to others how to rise above them.
  • You are more than these illusions. Be willing to look at them. Be willing to reach for the Living Word.
  • Study outer teachings, but the outer word will only change you if you allow it to become the Living Word in your heart.
  • The outer Living Word will help you only by stimulating an inner “Aha” experience where you suddenly see from within what you cannot see with the outer mind.

Why people do not see the beam in their own eye

  • If you see something in the eye of another, there is only one reason why you can see it—because you have it in your own consciousness.
  • If there is something that always annoys you with other people, it is because you are looking at the world through a particular filter.
  • The reason why you see certain faults in others is that you see through the filter.
  • Your filter is what stops you from entering the kingdom of heaven.

Read more about this.

 

Look for your own filter

  •  When you realize that you are looking at the world through a filter, you can begin to examine it.
  • When you are open, the Word will show you the unreality of your filter.
  • Christ comes to reconnect everyone to the Living Word within them.
  • The Comforter is the Living Word in your own heart, your Christ self, which will give you that inner Word that unlocks the understanding that is beyond any outer words.

You cannot grasp Christ truth with the intellect

  • You cannot fit the truth of Christ into your old belief system.
  • Trying to do this, as the scribes and Pharisees did to Jesus, will only trap you even more in illusion.
  • You must stop rejecting Christ based on outer things and accept Christ in your heart.

Read more about this.

 

Overcoming the gray zone

  • There is an interim stage, where you are ready at inner levels but your outer mind has not yet acknowledged it.
  • The masters want to awaken people, but they do not want to awaken them so abruptly that they are devastated or shocked.
  • The masters do not want to shatter our self-esteem, but they want us to wake up to the potential for change.

Read more about this.

 

Is there any absolute truth?

  • There is a dream in religious tradition of finding some scripture or teaching that is absolutely true at all times and for all conditions.
  • Jesus did not tell us to worship God through outer scriptures but through the inner spirit.
  • The Living Word does not come alive in you unless you allow it to come alive, allow it to transform you.
  • People’s outer minds resist truth and it may take them a while to change that.
  • We must not be discouraged but continue to speak the Word as we are able.

Your challenge to create a culture without a norm

  • Most religious and spiritual movements define a standard for how you are supposed to behave in order to be saved.
  • There is a need for an environment that accepts people without imposing a standard upon them.
  • Christ discernment allows you to see what is real and unreal.
  • The serpentine mind tempts us to use Christ discernment to set up a standard whereby we judge other people.
  • Allow people to be at their present level of consciousness and grow from there.
  • Christ discernment can become tainted by the tendency to judge, based on a standard for what is normal or what is acceptable.
  • Question the norm so that you do not carry the norms of your society with you unquestioned, whereby you will unconsciously color your Christ discernment.
  • Ask yourself where you have conditions in your expression of love.

Read more about this.

 

Growing up in a mechanistic society

  • It is time for you to shake off the yoke of the mechanization consciousness.
  • You are not a robot.
  • Grasp the vision of the need to reach beyond that mechanization consciousness, and to become creative beings.
  • There is no greater service, there is no greater need, on planet earth right now than to have some people, who will not only free themselves but who will begin to speak out against the mechanization consciousness.

Read more about this.

 

How to have discernment

  • Consider whether a spirit seeks to make you feel superior to others.
  • What makes you susceptible to the lower spirits is your attachment to one of your ego’s desires.
  • Many people have certain false concepts about the spiritual path, about their role on earth.
  • Overcome the desire to serve God in some ultimate way that is more important than others.
  • False spirits will tell you how special you are. True sprits will tell you that you are one with all life.

Saint Germain’s guidance for those lacking Christ discernment

  • Ascended master guidance is always subject to the Law of Free Will, which means a person can receive only what his or her mind is open to receiving.
  • Preconceived opinions block our ability to receive Divine guidance.
  • Saint Germain’s attainment and momentum has the potential to make up for any lack on the part of humans in embodiment.

Read more about this.

 

The real God does not judge you

  • People have created the image of an angry and judgmental God, but they also want to think God is good.
  • They think that when bad things happen, it must be God’s punishment.
  • The Christ consciousness is One It is meant to enable all self-aware beings with free will to experiment with their free will freely.
  • No matter how far we might descend into a lower state of consciousness, we can, at any moment, reach for the Christ.
  • The Christ will help us free ourselves from the limiting state of consciousness.
  • Christ does not judge the way human beings judge.

Read more about this.

 

An internal frame of reference

  • If you do not experience oneness inside yourself, then you cannot fully know that oneness is the underlying reality.
  • 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.
  • The Peter consciousness represents 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.

Read more about this.

 

The ultimate truth is oneness

  • If you think that you have found an ultimate truth then you are not accelerating.
  • You are using the outer teaching to create a mental box, or a weapon to use against others in the egoic desire to raise yourself up in comparison to others.
  • Ultimate truth is that all life is one and that God the Creator wants all life to grow, and transcend, and come back into oneness.
  • Ultimate truth cannot be expressed in words.
  • Words have different meanings, and you can always twist and turn the words to justify anything you want to justify.
  • There is absolute truth and there is dominant truth.

Read more about this.

 

The reality simulator of earth

  • Earth is a reality simulator.
  • The Ma-ter light will take on any form projected upon it in order to give you the experience that you have said you wanted.
  • You believe this a real world and it is not the result of your state of consciousness. Your state of consciousness cannot do anything about this.
  • Jesus wants to help us wake up from this illusion so we can take back our power to change our circumstances.
  • We must question our reactionary patterns and dare to leave the mental box behind.

Read more about this.

 

How to overcome doubt

  • The aim of the fallen beings who rebelled against God has been to divide you in yourself with the poison of doubt.
  • The Christ light has the potential to rise up and throw off the shackles of the fallen consciousness.
  • 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 only way out is to experience the Christ light within yourself.
  • Getting off the mind that is like a merry-go-round.
  • Knowing the limitations of the mind and overcoming the illusion that there are problems you have to solve.

Asking the unasked questions

  • Christ discernment empowers you to ask questions that most people cannot imagine.
  • You can ask questions that help people awaken from the consciousness of separation.

Individuality and Christ consciousness

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

Yet my beloved, when you look at this teaching – that is truly a higher teaching than I was able to give 2000 years ago – then you might look at the teaching I gave so long ago and say: “But Jesus, why did you then say ‘I come not to bring peace to the world but a sword?'” Well, the reality is, my beloved, that I came to bring the sword of Christ. And one of the functions of the sword of Christ is that it magnifies the conflicts that people have in themselves, it even magnifies the conflicts between people and groups of people. So that they cannot cover them over, so they cannot hide them, so they cannot sweep them under the rug, as the saying goes.

For you see how often in society, there has been a tendency for people to want to ignore the conflict, to want to cover them over, or to want to suppress them. Do you not see that what the Soviet Union sought to establish through communism, and what China is still grasping to establish – and for that matter, still Russia is seeking to establish – is an artificial form of oneness by programming everyone to be the same. But you see, oneness is not the same as sameness. Oneness is where everyone is allowed to express his or her unique individuality. But it is the unique individuality anchored in the I AM Presence. And thus, there can be no conflict between one individuality and another.

And so, you cannot create oneness through force, as you cannot be harmless in a forceful manner. And thus, you see even the Christian Church, for the past 2,000 years, has attempted to create this artificial oneness, where everyone is supposed to be converted to the same beliefs, based on an image of Christ. And so, the thinking is that if everyone accepts the same image of Christ, then everyone must be in unison. But you can see, when you look at the history of Christianity, that it has not been so. For even though the Catholic Church for a thousand years managed to suppress all dissent – by using much the same brutality and force as the Soviet Union used to suppress dissent – there eventually came a point, where some people would no longer accept it. And since the birth of the Protestant movement, you have seen how Christianity has continued to fragment into many different churches and sects. And this is, again, an expression of the fact, that if people will not find true oneness, then it is actually better that the differences become more and more pronounced, so that people cannot ignore them, cannot suppress them, cannot pretend that we are good followers of Christ because we are in oneness, when in reality there is no true oneness.

And so, again, oneness is not the same as sameness. For sameness is an artificial condition, that is truly the dream of the fallen beings, where they can program everyone to be the same. And then they think there will be harmony and oneness here below, that can rival and even replace the oneness in the spiritual realm. They are attempting to establish oneness through the consciousness of separation, and of course it cannot be done. For the more force they apply to create sameness, the more counterforce they create, that will fragment the sameness.

So it is possible for some force in this world to create an artificial state of sameness, by suppressing individuality. But it is only possible to maintain it for a time, before the Sword of Christ will fragment that artificial sameness, and again begin to express itself through the individuality of the different lifestreams. And so, you will see, even if we look at yourselves as spiritual people, that you might have grown up in a society that suppressed your individuality, that programmed you to suppress your individuality. This might have been the outer force, such as you saw in the Soviet Union, or it might have been the social pressure that you have seen in many so-called free western nations, as our two messengers described yesterday in the talk about the ego.

Stop suppressing your individuality

And so, it is natural that you have grown up creating various aspects of the ego, that have been geared towards suppressing your individuality, preventing you from expressing your individuality. And so, when you begin to realize this and when you begin to break free of it, it is natural that you go through a phase, where you need to express yourself in all ways. You need to express yourself in more extreme ways than you have done before. For you need to throw away all of these artificial restraints, that you have felt.

That is indeed why you see that most teenagers need to go through a phase, where they are seemingly rebelling against their parents or doing things that their parents told them not to do, as a necessary phase in finding who they really are. But you will also see that, ideally, teenagers should only go through this for certain time, and then they should discover who they are, so that they no longer need to rebel. Because now they know who they are; not in opposition to something here on earth, but through their unique individuality anchored in their I AM Presences.

And thus, you see that this should also be your goal as spiritual people. You should allow yourself to go through a phase of expressed your individuality, no longer suppressing it. But instead, what you see in many spiritual movements is indeed that they impose a new ideal, a new set of rules, that gives you another reason, another excuse, for suppressing your individuality. But this cannot lead to growth; it can only lead to tension. And thus you, again, see how many spiritual movements, after a time, will begin to fragment. There will be conflicts between people, or in many cases people will individually leave, because they can no longer fit themselves into the outer framework.

But you see, this can be transcended by creating movements where people are allowed to express themselves, just as you did before giving this rosary today. You allowed people to express themselves freely. There was no overall goal, there was no overall design, there was no police force seeking to tell people how they should be spiritual and what they should say or not say. There was no attempt to solve any problem here; it was just a free expression that was allowed.

And then, when you had expressed these viewpoints, you still were able to come together in giving the ritual of the rosary, that then helped you raise your consciousness and transcend the expressions that were not the real you, that were not your real individuality. But it was just a necessary phase for you, to break free of the restrictions to the expression of your individuality.

Creativity is the essence of Christhood

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

And thus, you see, creativity – creativity – is the essence of the path to Christhood. There is a certain stage on your personal path, where you can make some progress by following a somewhat mechanical path, where you give outer rituals and study outer teachings. This messenger can attest to it from his own life, where he made progress following this path. Although I must tell you, that he never followed anything mechanically, but always pondered it creatively, coming up with his own inner understanding, always directing it to how he could explain this to others and make it easier for them to understand.

For he knew that part of his mission in this life was indeed to bear witness to this ineffable something, that is beyond an outer truth that can be expressed in words, but it is a Spirit—a glimpse of something beyond, something ineffable. But something that makes you realize, that there is more to life than the ordinary, human existence that seems so bland, that it almost defies description, defies comprehension, how people can live in that state of consciousness for an entire lifetime and not even once cry out for something more.

My Beloved, alchemy is not a mechanical process; it is not a matter of finding the right formula or the right chemical ingredient. It is a creative process. It involves your consciousness. Do you not see, how quantum physics today has proven, that observation is not the passive observer observing external events? Observation is co-creation. Your consciousness is part of everything that happens in your life.

You may think you live in a world, that is independent of you and your state of consciousness. And certainly, there are things in the universe that are independent of your state of consciousness, for they are dependent upon the states of consciousness of other beings, some of whom being not even in embodiment. Nevertheless, your life, your circumstance, your life experience is indeed wholly dependent upon your state of consciousness. And that is why you have the choice to lay down the responsibility, to enter into a personal drama, to even be trapped in one of the epic dramas. And therefore, you live an entire lifetime in that mechanical state of consciousness, where you are not truly going within and taking responsibility for making creative choices, choices that seek something MORE, something deeper, something more profound.

Those of you who can grasp the true inner path will know what I am talking about, when I say this something MORE, this transcendent feeling, this sense that you have grasped something—you have grasped a glimpse of heaven, of what life truly could be. Well this is what you are here to witness to. You are here to witness to it, but how can you do that, unless you step outside of the dramas, unless you realize what the dramas are in your own personal experience and consciousness, so that you can reach for that something MORE?

Christhood is not a passive process

Ascended Master MORE, April 17, 2009 through Kim Michaels.

Which is why you see that there are religions on this earth that define themselves as being the only true religion, thereby defining the absolute belief that all non-members will burn forever in hell. There are those who have espoused a particular political philosophy as superior to any other, therefore giving rise to the belief that it is justified that they seek to suppress any other philosophy, imposing their own system upon the rest of the world.

And so, you see now how the serpentine consciousness entraps you in this belief—that the forms you see in the material world have some ultimate reality. And thus, you cannot simply walk away from them. You are crucified, by the form, by the image, by the consciousness. And so, as was out-pictured by Jesus, you enter into the drama of life, and they may indeed “crucify” you. And it seems like there was, even for Jesus, nothing he could do but play that role.

Look at the stations of the cross out-pictured here in this place through the Catholic tradition. Jesus is condemned to death. Jesus accepts his cross. However, even that is a passive act of accepting what others want to put upon him. Jesus falls, someone helps Jesus carry the cross, someone wipes his tears, someone attempts to tell him not to go through with this. He is nailed to the cross, he dies, he is taken down, he is put in the tomb. All passive things, my beloved.

And so, what is missing from the steps of the cross, the stations of the cross? Well many things, but for one, my beloved, the reality that Jesus chose to enter into Jerusalem, knowing full well what might happen. And most importantly, while hanging on the cross, he chose to give up the ghost, thereby in an instant putting off that sense of the separate self, my beloved, showing the potential that all of you have to instantly let the old being, the old self die. And thereby not cease to exist, as the false teachers and the ego would have you believe, but indeed being reborn into a greater sense of self, the self that you still are in the eyes of God.

Christhood shifts the entire spectrum of consciousness

Ascended Master Jesus, November 2, 2008 through Kim Michaels.

Now, what that means is, that there is a correspondence between the parallel universe that you live in as the spiritual people, and the parallel universe of the lowest 10%. It is a law of God, that before a certain manifestation of duality – a certain manifestation of darkness, of evil, can be removed from the earth – before that can happen, there must be those in the top 10% who have raised their consciousness to a certain level, where they have freed themselves from those aspects of the ego that are being out-pictured as that manifestation of darkness.

They must free themselves, but they must also then take a stand and say, “This manifestation of evil is no longer acceptable in my world!” And only when you stand on the Rock of Christ – because you have been willing to remove the beam in your eye, that aspect of the ego which is being out-pictured as that manifestation – only then, when you stand on that Rock of Christ, will you have the authority – or we might say, you will give God the authority – to remove that manifestation of evil from this planet and remove those who will not voluntarily raise their consciousness beyond it.

Do you see that this is how progress occurs on this planet? There must be some in the top 10%, who have reached the level of Christhood, that corresponds to the perversion of that level among the bottom 10%. And only when we have those – a critical mass of people at that level of Christhood – can the perversion of that level be removed. And that way, the entire spectrum of consciousness is shifted upwards. If you look at the spectrum of human consciousness, that you find on this earth, then you will see, that the way progress happens is that the entire spectrum is shifted upwards. It is now possible to go one step higher for the top 10%, but those in the bottom 10% cannot go below a certain level or they will be removed from the earth.

This is the only way that progress can happen; it cannot happen in any other way. It cannot happen through force. It cannot happen by one totalitarian nation conquering the world and establishing the kingdom of God through force. It cannot happen through one religion conquering the world. It cannot happen in any other way but a shift in consciousness, whereby those who have the potential must rise, claim their Christhood, purify their own minds of a certain manifestation of the duality consciousness; and then declare with one voice, with one mind, with one heart, that this must stop, for enough is enough!

Personal Christhood is beyond personal growth

Ascended Master Mother Mary, August 17, 2008 through Kim Michaels.

I congratulate those of you, who have been willing to partake in Jesus’ latest offering, the book on Personal Christhood, and who have made a commitment to follow that course all together. For you see, that even though many of you could make faster progress alone, there is great value in all of you doing the keys and the exercises together. Not only for your own growth, but by doing it together you create an impetus, a movement,  that will literally sweep through the mass consciousness. And it can indeed raise up the top 10 percent of the people on this planet, to suddenly begin to recognize the reality of the path to Personal Christhood—that is beyond the spiritual path, the path of personal growth, that many of them have been following thus far.

When you look at the world, you will see that there are millions of people who are part of the New Age or the spiritual movement who are practicing various techniques, studying various teachings and seeking earnestly and honestly to raise their consciousness. And I do not wish to in any way degrade their accomplishments, but I must tell you, that what they accomplish by pursuing the path of personal growth – although it is a clear service to the planet – it is not enough to bring the planet forward, as we need to see it done before 2012.

And thus, the only factor that we see, that can really bring the planet to the point where it needs to be, is that more and more people see that there is something beyond the path of personal growth—the desire to raise your consciousness for your own sake, for the sake of having certain powers or attaining certain experiences. There is a path beyond that personal growth, and it is the path of Personal Christhood, where you no longer seek to raise up the individual self, for you have become so one with the One Self that you seek to raise the All.

I leave you with the immense sense of joy that I feel, from seeing the wave of positive energy that you have created, the wave that rolled around the globe and consumed all imperfections. And I ask you to hold that image, hold that visualization of the wave of the white Mother Light consuming all imperfections, as it rolls around the globe, perhaps tuning in to this visualization once a day.

And then, after you visualize the wave rolling around the planet, visualize how the white light forms a perfectly calm ocean, that reflects the perfection of the Dhyani Buddha’s above here on earth. This is an immensely powerful visualization, and truly it is a gift from our hearts. Use it to the best of your ability, and we shall see what miracles can be accomplished when you here below unite with us Above. For truly, the greatest potential for world change is the union of hearts, as above, so below. So be it, for I seal you in the infinite joy of the Divine Mother, the infinite joy of Jesus Christ, who truly carries the Joy Flame for earth. Thus, be sealed in that joy, forever and ever!

The connection between freedom and Christhood

Ascended Master Saint Germain, June 28, 2008 through Kim Michaels.

It is indeed a great joy for all of us that this course has been brought into the physical. Certainly, it is not the end-all and be-all of what could be said about the path to Christhood, for as Jesus has just said, there is no end-all and be-all. For Christhood is an open-ended process that will never end. And how does this tie in with freedom? You see, freedom is also an open-ended process. Freedom cannot be a permanent state—for then it is no longer freedom. As soon as something becomes permanent, it becomes a prison, and it is no longer free. Do you see this, my beloved?

It is essential that you ponder the reality of freedom and how it relates to Christhood. For you have – all – certain illusions about what it means to be a Christed Being. You think that it is possible to set up some standard for how a Christed Being should be—perhaps based on Jesus, perhaps based on your image of ascended masters and what we are like and the teachings we have given. But I tell you, that all of these images you are holding on to are graven images, and they will only keep you trapped in the mental box that is created by the ego and the false teachers. And only when you are willing to step outside of that box – and embrace total, absolute freedom – only then can you hope to begin to manifest Christhood.

For I tell you, as Jesus says in the course, there is no standard whatsoever for what it means to be a Christed Being. For being a Christed Being means being the ultimate creative being. And in creativity there can be no standard. How can there be, when creativity can never be predicted, can never be planned? For if an activity is planned, it is not a creative activity but a mechanical activity.

And thus, do you see that this course is setting the foundation for helping people quickly cross the gap, cross the distance, that they should have crossed over the past 2,000 years by embracing the inner teachings of Christ. But which many have not been able to cross precisely because the true teachings were taken away from them. And thus, those who will embrace this course can then quickly step up to the point, where they can begin to embrace the Aquarian-age consciousness. And if this course had not been brought into the physical, then there would have been no point in me bringing forth the vision of the Aquarian age, for no one would be able to lock in to it.

For again, most of you have an unrealistic expectation of the Golden Age, as I mentioned yesterday. You think that it can be defined in some final, absolute plan and that I, Saint Germain, have a firm and fixed plan up here. You think I am looking for you to fill in the pieces here and there, as if you were robots who just surrendered your free will to me – as the hierarch of Aquarius – so that you could be the worker bees to fit into the puzzle and thereby gradually assemble the puzzle. But you see, my beloved, that is not my vision at all. My vision is an overall vision of what could be the Golden Age, but it is not a fixed vision. There is infinite room for individual creativity in that vision. There is no final plan! It is a living, breathing plan.

Victory Is All That Is Real

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

 

Victory is my name. Victory is my flame. Victory is my game. And I am here, and I am the only game in town! I am the Presence of God’s Victory and I am here to seal the victory that it has been for planet earth that so many of you have completed this section of rosaries to beloved Mother Mary.* I AM here to lend my momentum of victory to your own because, truly, you have multiplied the talents you were given by beloved Mary. And therefore I am come to say, “Well done thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord.”

And, truly, victory is joy. Is there any greater joy than knowing that you have won a victory, that you have taken a step up, closer to God, and that there is no turning back. And neither is there any turning back for planet earth. This truly is a day that will mark a turning of cycles. It is a turning away from the consciousness of Pisces and the tendency to look outside yourself for the victory that can be won in only one place, and that is in the kingdom of God within you. Where else shall you have your personal victory but inside yourself?

How can anyone give you that personal victory? All of the forces in heaven, all of your ascended brothers and sisters, have one desire: to see you have your personal victory. But remember: we want to see you, the Conscious You,** have your personal victory, so that you win that victory from within yourself because you have internalized who you are as a God Flame. And you have identified yourself with that God flame, so that the flame burns away all that is unlike itself. And therefore you are that flame in manifestation on earth. This is the ultimate victory. And no one can do it for you. That is why you need to recognize that we, who are your ascended brothers and sisters, can help, inspire and teach you, but we can do so only up to a certain point.

The difference between the true and the false path is one of decision
There will come a point beyond which you cannot move, until you move from within yourself. There are many forces of darkness who will gladly take away your victory, and they tell you the lie that someone or something outside yourself can guarantee your victory. That may be an outer Church, it may be an outer guru, it may even be the false image, the idol, of Jesus Christ that has been raised up by these orthodox churches for so many hundreds of years.

Jesus Christ cannot give you your personal victory. And your personal victory is the very meaning of salvation. Therefore, Christ can lead you to the living waters but he cannot make you drink. You must drink and become who you are. How else can you win your personal victory? And what folly it is to think that Jesus Christ, with all his love for humanity, would want for you to have anything less than your personal victory, coming from within yourself. That is why he told you that the kingdom of God is within you.

Awaken, people on earth, and realize the true teachings of Christ that truly are the only key to the victory of the Piscean Age. The inner teachings of Christ, whereby you realize that when it comes right down to it, the difference between a Christed Being and a person who is trapped in duality is one thing—decision. It will not happen by some force of magic. It will not happen by Jesus Christ appearing in the sky and rolling up the world as a scroll. It will happen for you when you make the decision to take that final step into the God Flame that you are, allowing all that is less to be burned away by the flame that is you.

Truly, not everyone is ready for that final step and that is why the ascended masters come to you and offer you a path that you can follow step by step, and thereby rise until you are ready. But on that path of Christhood, there are certain points, where you make bigger decisions. The entire path is a string of decisions that you must make. And most of you fully understand that Christhood is self-transcendence and that the key to self-transcendence is that you make the decision to let go of a former limitation that you accepted. Let it go. Let it die on the cross, and then you are reborn into a higher sense of identity.

And the path to Christhood has many small steps, whereby you gradually rise. But there will come points on that path, where a small decision is no longer enough. In order to rise to the next plateau, to the next level, you must make a big decision, a big decision to let go of something in your former life, in your former sense of self, to leave it behind to let it die, to step out of that mold and to follow the Living Christ, whether he appears within or appears without in the form of a person who is a true spiritual teacher, such as Jesus Christ.

The alchemy of the Spirit

Ascended Master Mother Mary, May 29, 2004 through Kim Michaels.

In a previous discourse Jesus has explained that there are four levels of the material world, namely the etheric realm, the thought realm, the feeling realm and the material realm. In order to produce a change in the material realm, you need to start in the etheric realm and then allow the energies to filter through the thought and feeling realms until they reach the material realm.

To successfully manifest the kingdom of God in your personal life, you need to start by changing your sense of identity. You need to stop seeing yourself as a mortal human being, as a miserable sinner or as a person who has made such mistakes that you could never be redeemed. You need to accept that you are a son or daughter of God, that you are a co-creator and that your mind has the power to replace all imperfect images, or an imperfect sense of identity, with the higher images of the Christ mind.

Once your sense of identity begins to change, your thoughts will inevitably follow suit and begin to change also. They will become purer, and you will no longer think in terms of limitations and what cannot be done. You will not think that imperfection is permanent. You will begin to realize and fully accept the truth in the statement made by Jesus that with God all things are possible. This will change your approach to life from being focused on what cannot happen to having a can-do spirit that empowers you to see new possibilities around every corner.

As your thoughts begin to change, it is inevitable that your emotions will also take on a new direction. Your emotional body will be less influenced by negative emotions, such as fear or blame. Instead, you will feel the flow, the natural flow, of energy through your emotional body, and you will begin to feel the joy and the love that is the true driving force behind all life.

As your sense of identity, your thoughts and your feelings are purified, it is inevitable that your outer actions will change also. Yet beyond that, you will see that after a time your outer circumstances will also change. This change would have seemed impossible with your old state of consciousness, but with your new frame of mind it seems so natural and effortless.

My Beloved hearts, this is the true alchemy of the spirit. It is indeed regrettable that so many people in today’s world ridicule the ancient alchemists. There were many charlatans in the field, but certainly no more charlatans than you currently find in the field of science and religion. Yet there were also many true alchemists for whom changing base metals into gold was not the real goal. Their goal was the alchemy of changing the human consciousness, the lead of carnal mind, into the gold of the Christ consciousness. The reason being that the true alchemists realized that the Christ consciousness has the power to change the composition of matter itself, as Jesus clearly demonstrated when he turned the water into wine.

The philosopher’s stone so eagerly sought by the alchemists is indeed the Christ consciousness. It is the Christ consciousness that will bring God’s kingdom to earth, and only the Christ consciousness has the power to do this. Yet as both Jesus and I have explained in great detail, it is not enough that one Christed being walks the earth. For God’s kingdom to be fully physically manifest on this planet, there must be a critical mass of people who have manifested their individual Christhood. The number of Christed beings needed to fully bring in the kingdom of God is, as Jesus has already explained, 10,000. As Jesus has also explained, there are currently 10,000 people in embodiment who have the potential to manifest that Christhood very quickly.

Yet once again we face the obstacle that those people need to be awakened to their potential for Christhood, and they need to accept their Christhood. Jesus has also explained that there are millions of other people who have the potential to manifest a high degree of Christhood. If all of these people were awakened and started to accept a higher vision of God’s kingdom, and started to accept the real possibility of manifesting that kingdom on earth, then things would begin to change very quickly and very dramatically—for the better.

What is a miracle?

Ascended Master Mother Mary, December 28, 2003 through Kim Michaels.

I desire to give you a few teachings on the concept of a miracle. There are people on this earth who deny the existence of miracles because they say that nothing can violate natural law. There are those who accept miracles and yet believe that human beings can do nothing to bring them about, but can only wait passively for some kind of grace to bring about a miracle. Well my beloved, both of these types of people have an incorrect understanding of the reality of miracles.

It is true that nothing violates the law of God, but there are two levels to the laws of God. There is the material law, which is what scientists call the natural law. And then there is the spiritual law, which is a higher law that can indeed supersede and suspend the natural law. Thereby, one can bring forth what, according to natural law, seems like a miracle.

Why did my son Jesus Christ descend to this earth? He descended to show people that when you manifest individual Christhood, when you put on the Christ consciousness, you become the open door so that the spiritual law can act in the material universe and therefore supersede and suspend natural law itself. This is what you saw Jesus do on any number of occasions.

There was no magic in turning the water into wine. But there was the magic of one human being raising his consciousness and bringing the higher law of the spiritual realm into action in the material universe. Thus changing the very composition of matter itself because that matter truly is an expression of the consciousness of the universal Christ. Therefore, one human being who manifests individual Christhood becomes the open door, whereby the universal Christ consciousness can suddenly act in the material realm and therefore raise matter itself into the purity of that Christ consciousness. This brings about the consumption and removal of the dense crust that has been imposed upon matter by the density of the consciousness of humankind.

When the spiritual law is allowed to work through an individual, that person can indeed walk on water, can indeed raise the dead and give life back to the molecules of a physical body that has started the process of decay. Likewise, that person can regenerate the very cells and molecules of a physical body that is crippled by disease, a disease that is nothing more and nothing less than the physical outpicturing of the density of a person’s consciousness.

My miracle rosary does not have the purpose of reaching those who are willing to believe in miracles but who continue to believe that they can only wait for miracles to occur. My miracle rosary is meant to reach those who are willing to acknowledge the path of individual Christhood and willing to acknowledge that when they walk that path, they are not simply waiting for miracles. They are bringing about miracles because they are the miracle of the incarnation of the universal Christ consciousness, the Word of God. The Living Word of God is the higher law that can set aside not only the material law but the very density of the consciousness of humankind.

This is the living miracle, namely the incarnation of the Christ consciousness through a human being who has become conscious of his or her potential to be the Living Christ. A person who has accepted the potential to be the Living Christ on the earth, to be the Living Christ in embodiment. That potential and that incarnation is truly the miracle of God that can erase all errors produced by humankind, or what so many Christians call sin.

Sin is nothing more than the misqualified energy; energy that misses the mark of God’s perfection and therefore is imprisoned in an imperfect thoughtform, an imperfect matrix. And when the Christ descends, the Christ consciousness will set the energy free of the imperfect thoughtform, and once again make it the living, liquid energy of God that naturally flows into the perfect matrix of the Kingdom of God and therefore suddenly, as a miracle, outpictures that kingdom on earth.

Oh yes my beloved, this is no mere fantasy. This is no mere promise of a Utopia that will never come to pass. This is indeed a living reality, a living potential. But it must be brought about by a critical mass of human beings accepting the potential for the birth, the miracle birth, of the Christ consciousness right within themselves.
