Ascended Master Jesus, October 23, 2005 through Kim Michaels.

I am come that all might have life and that they might have it more abundantly manifest. Truly, I am the real Jesus, but I do not come to you today as the Jesus that many people have known through the Christian churches, not even as the Jesus that some of you have known through various spiritual organizations.

I am come to you as the Living Christ and the emphasis is on the word “living,” because I truly desire to impart to you the flame of the Living Christ that never stands still. Many of the Christians out there in the world have built an idolatrous image of me. And were I to tell them that the Living Christ never stands still, they would immediately say, “But what about the statement in the Bible which says, ‘Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever’ (Hebrews 13:8)?”

Well my beloved hearts, it is not Jesus Christ that is the same yesterday, today and forever, but the universal Christ consciousness. And the universal Christ consciousness is the same in only one way—in that it is always and forever one with God. And because God is a Living God, God is constantly transcending itself. Your Creator is constantly transcending itself, and thus the Christ consciousness is the same yesterday, today and forever in that it is always one with God. But because God is always becoming the more, then the Christ consciousness is always becoming the more—and so is Jesus Christ.

A river is always flowing

And thus, I am here to let you know that I am indeed more today than I was yesterday or a few years ago. As all true messengers know, no messenger can put the ascended masters in a box because we are beyond any messenger, any organization, any message, any teaching. We are in the flow of the River of Life, and we are here to give you a glimpse of that River of Life through an outer teaching. And the last thing we want to see is that you turn that outer teaching into a little box that keeps you from flowing with the River of Life.

I ask you to imagine that you go with me, these few hundred yards, down to the Yellowstone River. And we stand at the bank of the River of Life, and now we see and experience the River of Life flowing by us. And we realize that if we look at a particular spot in that river, we are looking at a particular molecule of water. But that molecule is moving on. So the next time we come down to the river and look at the exact same spot, it is another molecule of water that is there.

And although they may look the same to the outer mind, I can tell you that even molecules of water have a certain individuality—as you know that no two snowflakes are alike. Should it not be obvious that if God can create billions and billions of snowflakes with no two being alike, he can surely create billions of co-creators that each have a unique individuality.

Imagine that we now walk back to the highways of life, and we meet a person who is all excited because he thinks he has discovered what the river is like. And he holds up a photograph of the river and he says, “Look, this is the River of Life!” My Beloved, that photograph is accurate in every detail except one—it is not moving! And even though it gives an accurate portrayal of the river, it does not convey the fact that the river is always moving. And thus, the man who thinks that this photograph is the River of Life will miss the most important point about the River of Life, namely its ongoingness.

And this is exactly the same with any teaching given by the ascended masters throughout the ages. Once we put a teaching into words that can be recorded or printed, those words become static. This does not mean that they are untrue, as the photograph gives an accurate depiction of the river. But it does mean that they are just a snapshot. And why do we give you those teachings? We give them to show you that beyond the outer teachings that can be put into words is the ongoingness of the River of Life that is the Living Truth of God.

Go beyond the outer teaching

My Beloved, it is somewhat amazing to me that I should have to give this message into the collective consciousness. Yet as El Morya and Saint Germain have explained, too many spiritual people have not internalized and become their teachings, thereby flowing with the River of Life behind the teaching.

And thus, I must tell you the truth that it is perfectly possible to study a teaching released by the ascended masters and to understand that teaching perfectly at an intellectual level, yet you do not see beyond the outer teachings to the River of Life. And thus, when you look at a person who has a good outer understand of the teachings, you may break that understanding down into individual details and each single detail might be perfectly accurate and perfectly true, as every point of the photograph is an accurate depiction of the reality from which the picture was taken. Yet, even though every detail is accurate and true, when you look at the big picture itself, the person’s understanding of the teachings of the ascended masters is not moving on beyond the outer teaching from which that person has built the mental image.

Ascended Master Jesus, December 25, 2005 through Kim Michaels.

Can you see that it is a certain disappointment to me that people will not open the book of my life and read the message? Surely, many have read the gospels that describe my life, but I tell you that the true message of my life cannot be understood by reading the outer scriptures with the outer mind. You must read beyond the words, you must read between the lines, and you must understand that even though I came as a teacher, I taught in a very special way. I did not teach primarily by giving an outer teaching, although I did give outer teachings in parables. I came in the tradition of all true spiritual teachers who have come to this planet. And we have all come to teach one message.

The problem on earth is that people have separated themselves from oneness with God. And the way to salvation, the way to enlightenment, the way to a higher state of consciousness – or whatever you want to call it – the way home is the way of overcoming separation and coming into oneness with God. This is the essence of the message taught by all true spiritual teachers throughout the ages.

Yet this message cannot be taught only through words. It can be taught fully only through example. That is why my life shows the progression of a person who started out just like you. We may discuss that I was born with a certain spiritual attainment that perhaps gave me a head start. But you must see beyond the lie that I was born as a fundamentally different being than yourselves.

This is a most insidious lie designed by the forces of anti-Christ to destroy my example, to destroy my teaching. It has been reinforced my the mainstream Christian churches for 2,000 years now. And as I said earlier this year, I truly am come to bring forth the judgment of the consciousness that elevates me to being above all other human beings. And that judgment will come into full manifestation on New Year’s Eve.

If we truly want to know Jesus or Christ, we need to acknowledge that Jesus is a spiritual being and as such is beyond all man-made images. People need security and this causes them to create fixed (graven) images of Jesus. The only way to know the real Jesus is to attune our consciousness to his ever-transcending being.

This section contains articles on the following topics:

Read the message of Jesus’ life

• You cannot grasp Jesus’ message without going beyond the words of an outer teaching.
• Jesus came in the tradition of all true spiritual teachers. He taught the message of oneness by overcoming separation.
• The message of oneness can be taught fully only through example.
• We must see beyond the lie of the forces of anti-christ that attempts to set Jesus apart from us.

Read more about this.

 

The Living Christ is ALWAYS more than you think

• The universal Christ consciousness is the same yesterday, today and forever because it is always one with God.
• Jesus is an individual expression of the Christ consciousness and is constantly growing. 
• If we want to know Jesus as he is today, we must never create a fixed image of him but seek to attune our consciousness to his.
• People have a tendency to turn an outer teaching into a closed mental box and this sets them apart from the ongoing flow of Jesus’ consciousness.How to know the real Jesus
• The Living Christ seeks to awaken people gradually from their current level of consciousness.• The Living Christ must sometimes make statements that challenge people’s illusions and shock them out of the comfortability that keeps them trapped.
• If we want to know Christ, we must never turn an outer teaching into a closed mental box but we need to continue to ask questions with an open mind.

My Beloved hearts, even Jesus had such childhood fears and would be afraid to sleep in the dark. Yet I tell you, he overcame those fears when I told him a bedside story about God having an eternal light in heaven, a light that was anchored in his own heart and that could always light up the darkness in his mind, the darkness that was the real cause of his fears. Even at a tender young age, Jesus understood this story. He connected to that divine light in his heart and from then on, he overcame his fear of the dark because he knew that the light was within him.

You too have a light in your heart, in your heart chakra. It is the flame of God’s love, wisdom and power that shines in the darkness. And though the darkness comprehends it not, you can comprehend it and you can be at peace in knowing that God’s light is within you. And as long as you are wiling to multiply that light, to freely give what you have freely received, you will become MORE. And when you are in the process of becoming MORE, you do not need to fear the limitations on earth, the imperfect appearances on earth.

You see, the limitations on earth, no matter how insurmountable or how unchangeable they might seem, cannot hold back the person who is willing to take God’s light – the light in the heart – and multiply it so that you become the MORE. My Beloved, you might notice that my new invocation uses the term “MORE” and “the MORE.”

You might notice that it uses that term interchangeably with the term “Christ”. This is no coincidence, for the Christ is a representative of the state of consciousness that is committed to being the MORE in action on earth, to lifting up all life, to challenging all those who are stuck in a consciousness of thinking they are less. The Christ is even committed to challenging people’s illusions, so that they can see beyond them and see that they are not trapped by those illusions. They are not trapped by their fears that makes them afraid to question the lies of the mind of anti-christ, that makes them afraid of becoming MORE and thus breaking the bonds of their limitations.

If you will commit yourself to giving this invocation and contemplating the words in it, you will find the release of a new sense of peace, joy and comfort, a new sense of hope that truly you can transcend the limitations in your own life. And thus you can transcend the sense of being limited by world conditions. You can transcend all fear that the world is going to hell in a hand basket, as the popular saying goes. I can tell you with absolute certainty, that the world is not going to hell. The world is going to heaven, or rather the world is transcending the consciousness of hell and rising towards the consciousness of heaven.

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

 

Again, many lifestreams, who volunteered to take on a condition to balance a certain amount of world karma, will get stuck in carrying that condition far beyond the point that is necessary, far beyond the point where they have actually balanced that portion of world karma and are now free to focus on the positive aspects of their divine plan, which is to bring their gifts to this world.

A lifestream has two purposes for taking embodiment. One is to carry the cross, one is to bring its gift. And spiritual people often choose to take on the cross first, and once they have conquered that task, they are then free to be whole in bringing their gift. But if they are tricked into rebelling against carrying their cross, and if they are not willing to let their human ego and their attachments die on that cross, then the lifestream will be stuck. And this is what happened to Peter—that he recognized the Christ, but he was not willing to fully identify with me, even to the point where he was willing to be crucified next to me if that was God’s plan.

The key to moving out of this impasse is to learn from my example, where you saw me in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before my trial and crucifixion. And again, the serpents of this world have created the false image of Jesus Christ that makes it impossible for most people to identify with me. And thus they tend to gloss over the fact that, while I was in that garden, I was deeply disturbed and deeply distraught.

I cried tears of blood. I was suffering, as so many other people are suffering, by carrying the burden that I was carrying, by carrying my cross, and by the thought of what would happen next. And I was so burdened by this that even though my Conscious You had volunteered to come into that situation, I still asked God to take that cup away from me. And this will show you that Jesus Christ was indeed human like yourself and not some God and not some superhuman, for whom the path was easy.

The path was not easy for me. I was as frustrated and distraught that evening as any human being has ever been frustrated. And yet the inspiration you can take away from this is that I eventually came to the point, where I took ownership of my situation. I decided that I was willing to let God’s will be done, and not the lower will of the outer mind. I surrendered myself to God and said, “Nevertheless Father, not my will but thine be done.” Yet I could not have surrendered myself to God unless I had taken ownership of my situation, unless I had taken ownership to the point where, if I had had to keep the condition forever, I would have been at peace with that.

Ascended Master Mother Mary, November 27, 2003 through Kim Michaels:

 

Many modern Christians have been brought up to think that Jesus was a feel-good master that came with a feel-good message of turning the other cheek and of always being loving and kind to everyone. Certainly, Jesus did bring such a message, but his message was not one of undiscriminating kindness, of blind kindness. Truly, kindness is a divine quality and there is no quality of God which is non-discerning and non-discriminating.

As the scriptures say, God is not mocked. God cannot be fooled by the lies and manipulations and the mirages created by human beings who are trapped in what Saint Paul called the carnal mind. Therefore, God knows that while you must always remain non-attached and avoid any kind of anger, fear or other negative emotions, you will not always passively turn the other cheek and be kind to those who do not deserve kindness, but deserve the stern rebuke that you saw my Son Jesus give to the Scribes, the Pharisees and the lawyers on so many occasions. And I can assure you that Jesus rebuked these hypocrites many more times than are recorded in the scriptures. In fact, beyond the mission of bringing forth a new spiritual teaching, one of the main goals for his mission is captured in the words, “For judgment I am come!”

Mainstream Christianity has made Jesus seem distant, almost like a non-person with no individuality. How did Jesus actually behave and what was his personality? Did he behave only like the scriptures say? Did he behave the way mainstream Christianity has portrayed him? Or was he perhaps entirely different?

This section contains articles on the following topics:

Was Jesus a feel-good master?

• Many people think Jesus was a gentle and loving master.

• Jesus had discriminating kindness and sought to awaken all people he met. He often attempted to shock some people out of their illusions.

Read more about this.

 

Jesus also suffered and had frustrations

• Many people volunteer to take on a certain karmic burden in order to help the planet progress.

• Once you are in embodiment, it is easy to rebel against this choice and become stuck like Peter.

• We can avoid this by realizing that Jesus also suffered and was frustrated and distraught.

• Jesus followed the same path we are following and it was not any easier for him than it is for us.

• Yet the fact that Jesus made it demonstrates that we too can make it by surrendering tot he choices we made before coming into embodiment.

Read more about this.

 

Know God’s Light within you

• Jesus had the normal childhood fears.

• Mother Mary told Jesus a bedtime story about the light of God inside him.

• We too have that light and can use it to overcome all fears by being willing to multiply it.

Read more about this.

 

Was Jesus a complete ego-maniac? 

• According to the image given by mainstream Christianity, Jesus was in all ways special compared to us.
• If Jesus was the way he is being portrayed, he must have been a complete ego-maniac, coming to show us how perfect he is compared to us.
• Only a mystical interpretation of his teachings and life can help us see how he came to show us our true potential for reaching a higher state of consciousness.

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

To fulfill the law, I must comment on the birth of my son Jesus. The fulfillment of the law requires that when human beings are given a higher teaching of the potential for the miracle kingdom becoming manifest on earth, they must be willing to balance that teaching by letting go of one of the illusions that are preventing the manifestation of that kingdom. The illusion that you must shed today is the illusion of the virgin birth, as it is understood by mainstream Christianity.

Ah yes, this is indeed a topic that will make many Christians uncomfortable. They have created such a dense and hardened consciousness around the birth of my son Jesus, and they have done this in an attempt to cement the idol into which they have made my son. They have done this to cement the idea that Jesus was unique and that no one can follow in his footsteps. So in their obsession to set my son apart from all other human beings, they created a completely false myth about the virgin birth.

What is the reality of the birth of my son Jesus? The reality is that it was a virgin birth, but not as it is understood by most people today. The true meaning of “virgin” is a woman whose consciousness is pure because she has learned to keep her energies above the critical level. And therefore, her thoughts and feelings do not miss the mark and do not misqualify the pure energies of God. She is therefore pure, and whatever she does is pure. So when a person is in this state of consciousness, it is quite possible to conceive a child in the natural way, and that child will not be conceived in sin.

What I am telling you here is that my son Jesus was indeed conceived as every other child on this earth has been conceived, namely through the physical interaction of myself and my beloved Joseph. It is very true that the Holy Spirit was present at that conception, but the Holy Spirit did not work as envisioned by most Christians.

You will recall that when the angel appeared to me, I questioned the angel – which by the way is not a good habit to get into – I questioned the angel by asking how this could be, seeing that I knew not a man (Luke 1:34). You see, I knew then, as everyone knows today, that the conception of a child requires the physical interaction of a man and a woman. The angel’s answer was that the Holy Spirit would come upon me, and many Christians have accepted the idea that Jesus was conceived exclusively through the power of the Holy Spirit.

What truly happened was that the Holy Spirit came upon me and upon Joseph. Upon meeting each other, we instantly knew, through the power of the Holy Spirit, that we were meant to be the parents of the Christ child. We also knew that the Christ child had to be conceived at a precise moment in order to give our beloved son the best possible platform for his mission on earth. So the conception of Jesus did indeed take place out of wedlock because there was no time for us to be married and to receive the consent of my parents.

You will know that back then most marriages were arranged by the parents. I was indeed a temple virgin dedicated to the service of God, and therefore my parents had given up the idea that I would ever be married. I can assure you that if I had gone to them and said that I wanted to be married, they would have reacted against the idea very violently. And they certainly would never have given their consent to a husband whom they did not know and who was much older than myself. Even a husband who lived in the town of Nazareth, which was looked down upon by all in Jerusalem.

My son Jesus was indeed conceived out of wedlock, and he was born out of wedlock. Because how could we be married without the consent of my parents, who would not give that consent until much later? The journey to Bethlehem was not merely because of the census, but because of the desire to escape the condemnation of my parents and of society. And the flight into Egypt was not merely out of fear of the king, although the wrath of the king certainly was a real danger to the life of my son. The flight into Egypt was indeed out of the desire to take ourselves and our beloved son away from the condemnation of the society in which we had grown up, a society which could not and would not understand and accept that Joseph and I had been moved to do what we did through the power of the Holy Spirit.

You see, my beloved, if you take the biblical words literally, you will never understand the inner meaning, you will never understand the true spiritual meaning. Therefore, you will never understand the higher law, the spiritual law of God. And if you do not understand and accept that law, how can you open yourself to be the incarnation of that law and thereby become the Living Christ in embodiment? This is quite impossible.

My last order of business is to relate the conception and birth of my son Jesus to the conception and birth of every child on earth. My son Jesus had to be conceived at a precise moment in order to have the best possible platform for his mission on earth. This is no different from any other child ever conceived on this planet. I give you this teaching to help you understand why we of the ascended masters do not approve of abortion. You see, we understand perfectly well that when a child is conceived, no matter how inconvenient, unplanned or unwanted it might be to the parents, that conception represents a unique opportunity for a particular lifestream to come into embodiment. By aborting that child, you abort a soul’s opportunity.

I would like you to understand that it is perfectly acceptable that a woman exercises her freedom of choice by taking all practical measures to avoid becoming pregnant. This includes contraception, and therefore, once again, the Catholic Church is out of alignment with the truth and the reality of the ascended masters by denying Catholics the use of contraceptive measures. This simply is not right in a modern age.

However, when a woman has exercised her right to freedom of choice and still becomes pregnant, it would be highly beneficial for herself and the incoming soul to recognize that a higher law has now taken effect and superseded the material law. It would be beneficial for the woman to realize that although her surface consciousness, her conscious mind, does not want this child, a deeper part of her soul did indeed volunteer to bring this child into the world at this particular moment. This does not mean that the woman has to raise the child. It is perfectly acceptable to give up a child for adoption. But it does mean that if the woman wants to fulfill the law of God and her soul’s own choices, she should bring that child into the world.

Ascended Master Mother Mary, January 28, 2004, through Kim Michaels:

This means that the Catholic doctrine that Jesus was God is correct only when understood from a deeper perspective. As my son Jesus has explained, he was not the only Son of God. The reason being that everything that was ever created by God was created as an individualization of God. This means that even Jesus was created as an individual lifestream. He went through the same process of embodying on earth and gradually losing the full awareness of his divine origin. Yet he regained that awareness and that spiritual attainment.

As a result of that, the lifestream of Jesus was able to hold a spiritual office for this planet. That spiritual office is the office of the Son of God, which is also the office of the Savior of mankind. However, this office was in existence before the lifestream of my son Jesus was able to fill that office. So you see that Jesus truly is an individualization of God, and therefore it is not technically wrong to say that Jesus was God incarnate.

Nevertheless, all other lifestreams created by God are also sons and daughters of God. And therefore, it is incorrect to create the doctrine that Jesus was the only Son of God or that Jesus was the only incarnation of God that ever took place on planet earth. In fact, all sons and daughters of God are the incarnations of God on this planet. I too was an incarnation of God and so was my beloved Joseph, the disciples of Jesus and almost every other human being on this planet.

What set Jesus apart was that he came to the full realization that he was a Son of God. Therefore, he became the conscious incarnation of God, as opposed to the unconscious incarnation of most other people. Yet Jesus came to show that all people are the incarnations of God and have the potential to put on the Christ consciousness, whereby they become conscious incarnations and can express their divine qualities freely.

I realize that this teaching will be shocking to many Catholics who have been brought up with the doctrine that Jesus was God incarnate and was the only incarnation of God ever to occur. I must tell you that we in heaven feel great compassion for the souls who have been indoctrinated with this doctrine, some of them for almost 2,000 years. We understand that it is difficult for many people to let go of this doctrine. Yet I must tell you that if you could, for one second, experience how we in heaven look upon this doctrine, and how limited that doctrine is compared to the cosmic reality of God, then you would truly become instantly free from the heavy weight this doctrine has put upon you. The doctrine causes you to deny your own spiritual origin as a true son or daughter of God.

You would then realize the truth in the teachings given by Jesus on this website, that he came not to be elevated to an idol. He came to show all people a systematic path to a higher state of consciousness. He came to show all people that they too can manifest their Christhood even while in a physical body on earth. Therefore, you would realize that to Jesus the Catholic doctrine that he is the only Son of God and that he is the only incarnation of God, is truly the ultimate form of blasphemy and the ultimate form of idol worship. In fact, I can assure you that this doctrine is directly embarrassing to my son Jesus, even though he is reluctant to tell you so.

I would therefore ask those who have an open mind and heart that they simply let this doctrine go. If you need any help to let go of this doctrine, do an honest study of how this doctrine came into existence. You will see that it was never taught by Jesus or by his apostles or disciples. It was, in fact, not invented until the third century, when it became the catalyst for the Arian controversy that split the Christian Church into what became the Roman Catholic Church and what became the Eastern Orthodox Church.

This division of Christianity was never the desire of my son, and it was never the desire of God. You will see that this doctrine was created by people who simply did not understand the true nature of Christ, and who used the Christian religion in their power struggles for the ultimate control of the Roman Empire. At the time, this empire represented the entire known world, and therefore it was a grand prize for those souls who were committed to ultimate power on earth.

Mainstream Christianity, especially the Catholic Church, says that Jesus was God “from the very beginning” and is of the same substance as the father. The rest of us are sinners and thus of a fundamentally different nature from Jesus. This is incorrect and makes it more difficult for us to relate to Jesus and build a personal relationship with him.

This section contains articles on the following topics:

If Jesus was God, who are we?

• Jesus embodied on earth like the rest of us. He lost his spiritual awareness and attainment as we all do and he had to regain it as we all can.
• After Jesus ascended, he qualified to occupy a spiritual office for earth, namely that of the Son of God, the Planetary Christ and Savior.
• It is technically correct that Jesus was God incarnate, but so are all other people on this planet.
• After his awakening, Jesus was a conscious incarnation of God, whereas most of us are unconscious incarnations. We too can awaken by following the example and the mystical teachings of Jesus.
• Jesus came to show all of us the path to a higher state of consciousness. This example has been destroyed by mainstream Christianity. To Jesus, this is the ultimate form of blasphemy.
• The doctrine of exclusivity was created for political purposes by people who did not understand the nature of Christ.

The truth about the virgin birth

• Many Christians want to believe in the lie that Jesus was unique so that they cannot follow in his footsteps.
• “Virgin” means a woman with a pure state of consciousness.
• Jesus was conceived in the normal, physical way.
• The Holy Spirit enabled Mother Mary and Joseph to know that they needed to conceive a child with a special mission.
• Mother Mary could not get her parents’ consent to marry, so Jesus was conceived out of wedlock.
• Every child needs to be conceived at a precise moment in order to have the best opportunity to fulfill its divine plan.
