Ascended Master Elohim Astrea, December 17, 2009 through Kim Michaels.

Now then, where does this energy come from? Where does this consciousness come from, of wanting to be right, of wanting to prove other people wrong, even the energy of wanting to accuse others of this, that or the next thing? Go into the courtrooms of the world and see how in some nations it has become a pastime, a form on entertainment, a form of addiction, to sue someone and to accuse them of having done this wrong, because of which you are entitled to a monetary compensation. You can read the words that are written in the court papers. You can see how someone will accuse someone else by using certain words. But if you are willing to use your inner sight, and read beyond the words with your heart, you will see that beyond the words is a particular energy, an energy of accusation.

And thus, why did I have the messenger read the quote from the Book of Revelation about the accuser of our brethren, which accused them before their God day and night? Who is the accuser of our brethren? Well, those of you who have studied Maitreyas book are familiar with the concept of the spheres. And thus, you can grasp the true deeper meaning behind this quote, which – considering the level of consciousness of 2,000 years ago – could not be given in the highest possible form, for it had to be adapted to the state of consciousness and the words that were used back then.

It simply was not possible for people at the time to understand the concept of different spheres. To them anything beyond earth was either heaven or hell. Anything beyond what could be seen with the physical senses was either heaven or hell. And thus, they could not understand, that the quote in Revelation, even though using the word “heaven,” was not referring to heaven in the ultimate sense, in the sense of the spiritual realm. For surely, in the spiritual realm, how could the devil exist there, for the spiritual realm is pure, and thus it would not be possible for anyone in a lower state of consciousness to exist in that realm of purity. So, you understand, that what is hidden behind the word “heaven” is a higher sphere, a sphere that is higher than the earth, but still a sphere that had not yet fully ascended, a sphere that had entered into the process of the ascension.

And therefore, it had become clear to certain lifestreams in that sphere, that those who were not willing to accelerate their beings into the purity of the ascension coil, those lifestreams would be left behind as the entirety of the sphere ascended. And thus, those lifestreams would – seen from the perspective of inside that sphere – they would be lost. They would not be part of their original mandala, destined to ascend together. They would be left behind, as the rest of the sphere and the lifestreams within it accelerated into the purity of the ascension coil.

And thus, those lifestreams who were in leadership positions suddenly had a complete change of mind. They flipped, as it would not be possible for a spiritual being to do, but as it is indeed possible for any unascended being to do. They flipped into the opposite polarity of suddenly deciding – mind you, deciding – that the plan of God was flawed, that free will was flawed, that the possibility that lifestreams could be lost proved that the Creator had created a flawed design for the ascension of the spheres, that free will was a risk too great to take, that it was a liability, that it simply could not be right that these lifestreams could be lost.

Now behind this reasoning, however, was the unwillingness, as Maitreya explains, of these lifestreams to humble themselves and to let go of their lives as exalted beings, as leaders with power, and make themselves the servants of all. For indeed, these lifestreams did love their lives unto the death. They loved the position they had in that sphere, that unascended sphere, and they loved it to the extent, that they felt that stepping up to the higher level of service, of being the servants of all, was a degradation for them, a degradation of their rank and position. And thus, they were not willing to lay down their lives for the all. And as an excuse for not having to lay down their lives, they latched on to the fact, that some lifestreams would be left behind. They used this to come up with the reasoning, that this was a flaw in God’s plan, and that it was their role to prove God wrong.

And in the new consciousness that they entered into – the consciousness of separation, the consciousness of duality – they actually thought that they could prove God wrong, that they could set themselves up in opposition to God. Yet the moment they entered into duality, they were deceived by duality. They now looked at the universe from inside a dualistic polarity, and therefore to them it looked perfectly real, perfectly logical, that there had to be an opposite polarity to their own polarity. And therefore, they now believed – as a man wearing yellow glasses believes that the sky is green – that God simply was an opposite polarity to themselves. And therefore it was possible to prove God wrong, to prove God’s plan wrong. Yet why could they believe this? Because they had lost the Word and had now been enveloped by, embroiled in, the consciousness of words, the divided word, where words are now not used to convey, to communicate, an infinite vibration. They had now been taken down to a level of duality.

Communication via thought

Yet be careful here to realize that that sphere – even though the majority of lifestreams had not yet ascended – it was still in a much higher level of vibration than what you currently see on earth. Therefore, when I say “words” I do not mean spoken words that can be written down. I mean words as a symbol for at state of consciousness. For you see, when a sphere comes close to the ascension point, then the inhabitants of that sphere have raised their consciousness to such a level, that they can communicate by thought alone. And the advantage of communicating by thought is, that you can communicate directly at the level of concepts and ideas.

You will know the old saying, that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. That is because a picture can convey more than can be described in words. It conveys a wholeness of a particular sight. You can describe that sight with words, but it will take many words, and the words themselves will actually never convey to you the same experience you get from looking at a picture for one second. Certainly, words written by a poet can convey a deeper meaning, a deeper experience to those who have open hearts and minds. But the words themselves cannot do this in a mechanical way, but only by the people reading them being willing to go beyond the words and open up their hearts to an experience that is more than the words. And thus you see, that one look at a picture can convey and open up for an experience that a thousand words could not give you. For the words are representations of the picture—they are not the picture. As the old saying goes; you cannot through words give someone the experience of the taste of an apple.

So in a higher sphere, communication takes place at a higher level, where the people have developed the faculties of their minds to the point, where they can project images, concepts, ideas directly into each others minds and therefore communicate at that level. And of course, as a sphere ascends, people get better and better at communicating with concepts. And as they raise the collective consciousness, they of course communicate in a more and more pure way, where the concepts and ideas that they project into each others minds, are more and more pure, more and more elevated, more and more directed towards raising up other lifestreams, raising up the entire sphere by bringing forth more sophisticated, more pure concepts and ideas.

Proving that free will was God’s mistake

What did actually happen, when those first beings in that sphere decided to rebel against God’s plan, decided they would not lay down their lives for a friend—they would not lay down their positions in order to rise into an even higher position of serving the All? They loved their lives to the point, where they were willing to die for them, spiritually speaking, by going into duality. What happened was that they decided, that they wanted to prove God wrong by proving free will wrong. And how could they do this? Well, they knew that they themselves would indeed fall into the next sphere that had already been created. And they realized, that the more lifestreams they could pull down with them, the more they had a chance of proving that free will does not work, because free will carries too big of a risk that people will fall rather than ascend.

So they sat there, a group of them, and held a council and said; “How can we in this last stage, where the ascension spiral has already been formed, how can we cause as many lifestreams as possible to fall with us by causing them to go into the duality consciousness?” And the plan they came up with was very simple: “We will do something to them that has never been done before in this sphere. We will accuse them in all manners possible. We will accuse them of not being pure. We will accuse them of not having will-power or not using that will-power correctly. We will accuse them of having false wisdom. We will accuse them of not being loving. We will accuse them of not having truth, but of being liars. We will accuse them of not being peaceful, and we will accuse them of wanting to take the freedom of others. Whatever God-quality they have mastered to the point where they are almost ready to ascend on that God-quality, we will accuse them of having perverted it. We will accuse them of not having it in purity. We will accuse them of exercising it in the wrong way. And thus, we will see how they respond to this new energy of accusation, that they have never encountered before.”

This is how they became the Devil and Satan, not as one being but as a group of beings who formed within themselves what we have recently exposed as a downward spiral, the exact opposite of the upward spiral, the ascension spiral, that had been formed by the majority of the lifestreams in that sphere. Within the totality of that ascension spiral, they formed such an intense forcefield of negative energy, of impure energy, that they created, so to speak, a black hole within the white hole of the ascension spiral.

And they now used that energy, they built up the intensity of the energy, by perverting their own light. For did not Jesus say, “If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness.” And these beings did have light, they did have momentum, they did have attainment, that they had gathered over their long service, where they had been serving the light. But now, as they flipped to the opposite side of opposing the light, instantly their light, their momentum, their attainment became darkness and a momentum of darkness. And thus, they could use that attainment, that momentum – that momentum of darkness – to direct a very intense energy of accusation at other lifestreams.

Imagine the shockwave that was felt, when suddenly those who were the holy innocents – who had worked selflessly – selflessly for the ascension of their sphere, for the raising up of all of their brethren, suddenly were now accused of doing the exact opposite of what they were doing, of being the exact opposite of what they knew they were. Just imagine how this was experienced by these innocent lifestreams. They had never encountered an energy like this before. They had never encountered lifestreams, who were willing to lie in order to accuse them of something they had not done.

How did the accused respond?

Do you see what a temptation this was? Do you see how subtle was the temptation? Do you see how powerful it was, when imbued with the immensity of this negative energy? Do you see, that there were lifestreams who were literally blown over by the energy directed at them and by the thought, “What have I done wrong? Could I have done something wrong? Are they really right? How could they be right? How could they accuse me of this? Here I have been working selflessly to raise up the All, and they accuse me of having done the exact opposite. How could they do this? How could they be allowed to do this? How could God allow them to do this?”

Do you see a myriad of possible reactions of how these beings – innocent – suddenly embroiled in this energy, how they reacted to this shock, this total shock to their beings? Do you see, that the strategy of the rebellious beings worked very efficiently, in causing many of the innocent beings to go into various states of consciousness, that were contrary to the ascension spiral?

On an overall level, some beings went into the accusatory energy and accused the accusers back, accusing them of having done everything they accused other beings of doing. Others went into the opposite of the accusatory energy. For you see, do you not, that the accusatory energy is an outgoing energy and thus a perversion of the expanding force of the Father. As such, it is also possible to have an opposite polarity as a perversion of the contracting force of the Mother, namely that of wanting to defend yourself, even to the point of wanting to destroy the arguments of the accuser or the accuser himself.

Yet beyond these two overall negative spirals, the beings who had attained mastery on one of the seven rays could go into a perversion of those seven rays, as was explained at Wesak, where each ray has a masculine and feminine perversion that you can go into. And therefore, you seek to deal with this shock in some way or another according to your ray, seeking to defend yourself by will-power alone or by using wisdom to argue against the accusers and their accusations—or perverting one of the other rays, as the case might be.

But do you see the central realization, that I am seeking to convey? Do you see the reality here, that what the rebellious beings had done was to create a situation – a challenge, a test if you will – where there was only one way to avoid being pulled into a negative spiral, and that was by remaining completely non-attached to the accusations themselves and to the energy behind them. The moment you reacted – either by seeking to defend yourself or argue with the accusations themselves, or by seeking to throw back the energy directed at you – the moment you reacted, you were caught in a negative spiral. And the more you reacted, the more you would begin to misqualify your own light, until that misqualification of your own light had formed a negative spiral, that could now overpower your conscious mind and will to the point, where you were sucked into the spiral. And now, all of your light became darkness, for you were seeking to use your light to defend yourself against the accusers by reverting their negative energy.

But how can you push back energy, that vibrates at the level of duality? Only by using another form of energy, that vibrates at that level. And that means you must then pervert your light by giving it a lower vibration, a vibration that is less than love, that is less than purity. This then, is how the accuser of our brethren were successful in causing a third of the stars of heaven to fall to earth as the saying is in Revelation. This is not necessarily a literal measure; it does not mean that a third of the lifestreams in that ascending sphere fell into the downward spiral, but it does signify that a substantial number of those, who had already entered the ascension spiral, were indeed tempted to react to the accusations and the accusatory energy.

And thus, they were pulled into the downward spiral created by the rebellious beings, so that they indeed fell altogether. Certainly, some of those who fell, fell out of loyalty to their leaders, and they thought their leaders were right and were doing the right thing. But many more fell because they were pulled into reacting to the accuser of the brethren. So then, this fall has continued through other spheres, until the current sphere, where you also see, that even a small planet such as earth has this consciousness of the accuser of our brethren.
