Listen to the recording of the conference.
Ascended Master Archangel Chamuel through Kim Michaels, October 9, 2026. This dictation was given at the conference in Seoul, South Korea: Asia-Pacific: Opening the Golden Age with One Heart.
I AM the Ascended Master Archangel Chamuel. Of course, I represent the Third Ray to the people of earth, the Third Ray of Love.
“What’s in it for me?”
But what is love? Well, certainly you cannot define love based on the duality consciousness, which always looks at love from yourself, and therefore, for most human beings on earth, love means: “What’s in it for me? What do I get out of it? What do I get out of loving somebody and getting them to love me?”
This is, of course, how the fallen beings think. This is the only way they can think. This is the only way they have ever thought since they fell and for that matter before they fell. Why is it that some co-creators, as the sphere evolves, as it evolves closer and closer to the ascension point, where the vast majority of the beings in the sphere have overcome the desire to use their free will as separate beings, why is it then, that on a few planets, starting in the fourth sphere, there were those co-creators who could not let go of this desire to exercise their free will as separate beings?
Well, my beloved, is there any reason that can be given? Is there a particular way to break this down what happened in the psyche of these co-creators? What caused them to get to the point where even when they were confronted by the ascended masters with the opportunity to rise above their state of consciousness, they consciously and willfully rejected it? Is there a particular reason for it? And there really is not a reason that can be given. You can look at this from the perspective of each of the seven rays and you can say: “They did not have a strong enough will to let go of the separate will. They did not have a strong enough wisdom to see how they were hurting themselves. But, of course, you can also say: “They did not have enough love for something beyond the self.”
This is what happens in the duality consciousness. You take a God quality, you pervert it, and how do you pervert a God quality? Precisely by this mindset: “What’s in it for me? What do I get out of it as a separate being?” Because you see, when you are a connected being, you do not actually ask the question: “What do I get out of connecting to a God quality?” Because the experience of being connected is the reward in itself. I am an archangel on the Third Ray of God Love. Do I produce the love that I generate or step down to earth? Nay. I receive it from a higher level, and they receive it from a higher level, ultimately reaching to the Creator.
No need for return from below
What is my reward for being in this flow of love? Well, it is being in the flow of love and experiencing love flowing through me, experiencing that I am part of this wondrous process that our Creator has started and set up the parameters so that it flows in a sustainable way, higher and higher. What greater experience could there be? When you are connected, you do not ask: “What’s in it for me?” There is no reason to ask. You experience it. But when you go into separation, you cannot experience the flow. Therefore, let us say that you are somehow still connected to the Third Ray of Love, then you must see love in a different way, as somehow you can get something out of it. You as a separate being, you get something out of loving and being loved, which means that you only profess to love others because you are only saying this or expressing love to get them to give you a return.
Whereas when you are in the flow, what is it you experience in the flow? Well, you experience the love flowing from above, flowing through you to those below. Why would you want a return from those below you when you are constantly receiving more from above? The more you give to those below, the more you will receive from those above. Why do you need a return from below? Why do you need a horizontal return? You just want to be in the flow.
Loving darkness rather than light
But of course, when you go into separation, you are not experiencing the flow, even though you are still receiving energy. But you are not experiencing being in the flow, because obviously you cannot be both connected and separate at the same time. That is one of the characteristics of an unascended sphere, that you can be in two states, which you cannot in the ascended sphere. You can only be connected in the ascended sphere, but you have that option in the unascended sphere to be disconnected, to be separate, or rather to see yourself as a separate being, to experience that.
You have this old saying: “For men love darkness rather than light.” And that is precisely what happens when you go into the separate mindset, the illusion of separation. If you have an affinity to the Third Ray of Love, you love darkness more than light. You start loving darkness more than light, because you actually think that you can do something as a separate being that you cannot do as a connected being. And of course, from a certain perspective, yes, you can do things as a separate being that you cannot do as a connected being. You can love someone for selfish purposes. You can love someone with a possessive love, and you can feel that you own them, that your love gives you ownership of them. As we have said before, on planet earth for many people, the statement: “I love you” is a declaration of ownership. This is what you can experience that you cannot experience as a connected being. It is, of course, an experience that comes with a cost. What if these others don’t love you back? But the real cost is what?
Never enough love in separation
The real cost is that before you went into separation, you were experiencing the flow from above. Now you are in separation, you do not experience the flow from above. You are not getting love from within, so you must get it from without. But you can never get enough love from without. It is just never enough. Why not? Well, because of what we have called the second law of thermodynamics. You become a closed system, and therefore, deterioration will occur. Entropy will increase, you will become more and more stressed, you will start feeling that you have less and less, even if you acquire more possessions, more people that supposedly love you. Even if you acquire everything you could possibly acquire as a fallen being who has set himself up as a leader, it still is not enough. In the separate mind, it is never enough. When you are connected, being in the flow is enough, but when you go into separation, it is never enough. You can never have enough love.
When I, as an archangel, look at planet earth, well, I see of course this: Human beings actually love darkness rather than light, because they are still in the state of mind where they think that through the darkness, through the selfishness, through the possessive love, they will eventually fill up the black hole in their souls. But a black hole is precisely what? A hole that cannot be filled up, because nothing escapes it. You can keep pouring light or matter into a black hole and you will never fill it up. That is what you can do with a fallen soul. You can keep pouring love into the hole in the soul, but you will never fill it up. Now, of course, this is partly because in separation you do not have access to divine love. Divine love can actually fill up the hole, but, of course, in order to experience that love you would have to connect and in order to connect you have to give up loving darkness more than light. Because how can you connect to the light if you do not love the light but love the absence of light more than the light itself? This, of course, cannot be done.
Receiving unconditional love without conditions
From my perspective, I look at earth, I look at all of these people who talk about love, who write about love, who think about love, who are longing for love, and I am wondering if they really want love. Here I AM. I have an unlimited supply. I can fill you all up this instant with the love that can flow through me. Why don’t you want that if you claim you want love? But you see, they cannot fathom this kind of love. Why not? When you go into separation, you cannot fathom unconditional love, because what is separation? It is the state of mind where you define conditions for everything. You are seeking to define from the state of separation certain conditions, and then you believe: “If I live up to these conditions, then God is obligated to let me into the kingdom of heaven. If I am a good Christian, if I declare Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior, if I go to church every Sunday, go to mass, take communion, confess my sins, God is obligated to let me into the kingdom.” But you see, no condition defined from the fallen separate mindset can get you into the kingdom. Why not? Because the kingdom can only be received when you receive it without conditions. It is given without conditions. As long as you have conditions in your mind that you think you have to live up to, before God will give you his kingdom, then you are pushing that kingdom away, which is being offered to you every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every year.
Loving the idea that we can define how the universe works
It is being offered to you for free, unconditionally. But you see, why do people love darkness more than light? Because they love this idea that we can define how the universe should work. We can define the conditions that force God to let us into the kingdom. Even though we are in the separate state of mind, we think we can force our way into the kingdom, or we can ignore the kingdom, or we can define it out of existence, define God out of existence, or define God as being nothingness, an undifferentiated whatever you might call this, and we on earth can define this ultimate reality. But you see, what you define as ultimate reality on earth is ultimate conditionality. Now, you might say that those who define the Brahman, the Nirguna Brahman as being beyond any conditions, beyond any differentiation, beyond any attributes, they might say: “But is not that unconditional?” Nay, it is not unconditional, because this Nirguna Brahman does not exist anywhere, neither in this world of form, nor in another world of form, nor in the Allness, nor anywhere.
Therefore, even though they would say this is unconditional, it is the ultimate condition. You define this as ultimate reality. Ultimate reality is the process of constant growth.
The only point of connection for people on earth
You can say beyond any world of form is the Allness, but you are never going to get to the Allness unless you go through our Creator in this world of form. And you are never going to get to the Creator unless you go through the ascended masters in the sphere that ascended before this one. You see, you can only go higher as a connected being. Connected to what? —The next level up in the chain of hierarchy. You, as a human being in embodiment on earth, cannot connect directly to the Creator, to the Allness, or to any ultimate reality that you imagine. You can only start by connecting to the ascended masters right above you. That is your only point of connection. There is no bypassing us. Why? Because we have proven that we are willing to give up exercising our free will as separate beings. Therefore, we can tell instantly whether a human being who approaches us has given up that potential or not, has given up that self-focused self or not.
And therefore, we are the gatekeepers. You rise by connecting to us. Thinking you can define some reality higher than us or independent of us is the ultimate form of spiritual ignorance, pride, arrogance. Nothing else—complete arrogance. It is as if you want to send a rocket into outer space, but you do not want to go through the atmosphere. How successful are you going to be?
Who is it that wants to define us out of existence, the ascended masters out of existence? Ultimately the fallen beings. But many people also want to ignore us because then they can continue doing what they want to do as separate beings. And this is, of course, perfectly allowed under the law of free will. I am not in any way saying that when I look at planet earth that I am judging or condemning the people who ignore the ascended masters or ignore the love that I offer, but I am saying that for those who have had enough of this experience, well, I am here to offer you the unconditional love. But to receive it, you must be willing to look at what conditions you have that define: What love is? What love is not? How it is given. And how you can get it.
You think you can define certain conditions that will force God to give you love. And as long as you think this way, as long as you are projecting this image upon love, you cannot connect. What conditions could you possibly have to fulfill in order to receive a love that is unconditional? It cannot be done. It is impossible, pardon my French.
Experiencing the love of the archangel
You see, my beloved, this is what I am radiating into the collective consciousness through your chakras, so that people can awaken and begin to question their conditions. And I am grateful that you, being here, coming all together, forming this great Antahkarana, both here physically and over the internet, that you are willing to be the open doors for me radiating this. But I would like each and every one of you to also experience what is flowing through you. Can you not set aside your conditions, center in your heart, and just open yourself to my love?
Listen to the voice and open yourself to experiencing this love that is descending upon you, descending through the words you are hearing. It is almost like this gentle rain that does not hurt you, but it is gently descending upon you, somehow like water finding a way around every obstacle in your identity body, flowing around your sense of identity as a human being in a certain society, flowing into the mental body, flowing around any thoughts you might have about love, what it is, what it is not, flowing into your emotional body, even flowing around what you thought was love, what you have experienced as love, but flowing around it, descending into your conscious mind and your heart chakra, and just filling up the chalice of your heart chakra until it overflows and fills you, overwhelms you gently, and all the conditions are gone. All the conditions have evaporated, and there is just love.
Will you receive or reject divine love?
You can always listen to this again. If you do not experience it this time, do not condemn yourself, just take some time and you can set aside some time to listen to this in a quiet environment and just receive.
All you can do about unconditional love is receive or reject, those are your only options, and you can gradually come to a point where the desire to reject fades away, and you can open yourself to just accept: “I am worthy of love. How could I not be worthy of the love that is unconditional?” Ah, what the mind will say: “But what is unconditional? There cannot be anything truly unconditional. Surely an archangel has some condition?” But I have no conditions. The fallen beings have conditions. You might have taken on some of these conditions. You are the one who has conditions. I do not.
The only condition is that you have no conditions
Why not? Because my joy is to give love and let it flow through me. That is my reason for being. And I want to fulfill my reason for being, and I want to have the experience of feeling the flow through me. Why would I put conditions on it that would limit my fulfillment of feeling the love flowing through me?
Do you think I am stupid? Surely I am not. But surely the fallen beings will say that I am. They will find some clever reasoning, saying: “Oh, this cannot be true. This cannot be a truly ascended master. This cannot be an archangel. For look at history, at how God has been judgmental and set up conditions. Look how the angels are preventing us, the fallen beings, from entering the kingdom. Certainly, they have conditions.”
No! Our only condition is that you do not have conditions. But of course the fallen beings cannot see this. For what is it a fallen being cannot do? Look at themselves. They are always projecting out. The problem is out there: “After all, here we were in our original sphere thinking we had it all figured out on our planets, and here came the ascended masters and confronted us. Why could they not leave us alone for all eternity? They violated our free will.”
Seeing life from the perspective of a separate being
Well, there was that little question of the free will of the trillions and trillions of lifestreams in your sphere that were ready to ascend. Should we have denied that in order to give you your free will that you had already exercised for an extremely long time as the sphere was ascending?
You see, your ultimate condition as a separate being is: “I am the center of the universe. I am the only one here. I am the only one who matters. I am the only one whose free will should be considered.” But you see, that is a set of conditions that you have defined. Surely you have a right to define those conditions. I am in no way denying that. But do you not see that whatever you do has a consequence? Ah, this is what the fallen beings cannot see. But what you, the spiritual people on earth, can see, and that is why I am radiating this into the collective consciousness.
God has not defined the conditions, but God has given you free will. And therefore, when you choose to go into separation and to stay there until your sphere is ready to ascend, you are actually saying you want God to throw you out of the kingdom. You want God to draw the line that you cannot draw for yourself. The fallen beings, before they fell, they actually wanted the ascended masters to cast them out of the ascending sphere and cast them into the unascended sphere.
They wanted this. They just would not consciously recognize and acknowledge it because they wanted to be able to project: “You did this to us. You violated our free will.” Why did they want this? Because that is how you look at life as a separate being. Some outside force did something to you.
When you are a connected being, you see: “I projected an image with my mind, and the consequence is that this is what I got back from the cosmic mirror, from the reality simulator. If I want something different to come back, I change what I am projecting out.”
But you see, in separation, you do not want to acknowledge this dynamic. You want to create the impression that you, as a separate being, are a separate being because God did something to you or the ascended masters or other people. Always something outside of you. Otherwise, you cannot see yourself as a separate being. How can you? If you are connected, you know that you are defining what you are projecting out, and therefore, you are the one who is keeping yourself at a certain level of consciousness.
Nothing above you is preventing you from going higher. But then you refuse to go higher because you refuse to transcend yourself. Then you must project: “Oh, there is something above me that is holding me back. That is violating my free will.” God or the ascended masters or whatever you have that they can think up.
And now they go into this mindset of saying: “We are separate beings. We have to find a way to trick God or to force the ascended masters to let us into the kingdom.” But you see, they think they are playing a game with us, but they are not. They are creating the game in their own minds and playing with themselves in the images of God that they have created. They think that we are keeping them out of the kingdom when they are keeping themselves out of the kingdom by staying in the minds of separation. The moment they shifted their consciousness, the kingdom would be open to them. As it for that matter is right now. They just cannot receive it because they are rejecting it.
Shattering the illusion of conditional love
You see how this consciousness infuses most religions on earth, most spiritual philosophies on earth. There is something, some condition you have to fulfill. And then God or the ascended masters must let you into the kingdom. But the condition is always out there: “If I find the Holy Grail, if I prostrate myself 10,000 times on the floor during a lifetime, if I gave enough decrees and invocations…” But all you have to do is shift your mind: You are willing to receive what is given freely to those who have given up their conditions of thinking they can force it.
This, from the perspective of the archangel of the Third Ray, is the darkness covering the land. And therefore, I say: Shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter that veil. Shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter that illusion in the four levels of the material universe. Shatter that false sense of identity as a separate being. Shatter that mental construct of thinking you can force your way into the kingdom. Shatter those emotions of blame, blaming God, blaming others, blaming yourself without taking responsibility for yourself. And shatter the very inertia in your physical bodies and cells and brain that wants to think that some condition in the physical can get you beyond the physical. Shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter this entire illusion.
That those who are willing, those who are ready, will wake up from the false teachers and their web of lies that they have spread on this planet for so long that nobody has any real concept of how long the fallen beings have been here and how deeply they have affected the collective consciousness.
But surely cycles have turned to where we have a right to step forward and challenge this consciousness. For you see, angels who are unascended, they are there to serve, they are there to allow human beings to have the sense of identity, the thoughts, the feelings, the actions in the four levels, in the four lower bodies. But I am an ascended master who holds the office of an archangel and I have a right to challenge those in the separate state of consciousness, especially those in the fallen consciousness. I have a right to challenge them and you have a right to be the open doors for that challenge to spread into the collective consciousness by listening to this dictation, by giving the decrees to me, by giving other decrees and invocations so that more and more people will suddenly wake up and say: “Oh, I never thought of this before, but why have I believed this for so long? Suddenly I see there is no logic, there is no reasoning. Well, what seemed to be a reasoning just is not reasonable anymore.”
Loving something more than the separate self
And suddenly they begin to question this and they will walk out of their churches or their synagogues or their temples, walk out of it and reach up for however they can conceive of us. But certainly the concept of ascended masters will spread more and more into the collective consciousness. And that is where you can give an invaluable service by doing what you are doing. But first of all, by being what you are being, striving to resolve the psychology, reach that 96th level, pass that initiation of letting go of the self-focused self.
Take some time to just look. Do you still have something you love more than being in the flow? If you do, then engage in that activity. Do it intensely so you can have enough of it and return to the path. But if you find that there are things that used to matter to you that do not matter anymore, then you can consciously let them go and say: “This is not important to me anymore. What is that to me? I will follow Christ into the inner kingdom.”
I am not in any way suggesting that you should make this decision with the outer mind. I am suggesting that when you resolve the psychology, you can come to the point where you realize: “Why are these things not important to me anymore? Because there is something I love more than these activities of the separate self.”
And then you can give up that separate self and plunge yourself into the fount of love. You have heard of the fountain of youth, but there is certainly a fountain of love that you can plunge yourself into and be washed clean of all remnants of the anti-love. And certainly when you make that decision, the angels of the Third Ray will be more than willing to assist you in purifying your four lower bodies for these remnants of anti-love.
No one can be in embodiment on earth without being affected by this anti-love, without taking it in. It is almost as toxins in your four lower bodies. But there is nothing, there is nothing on earth that cannot be purified by the spiritual flame, the spiritual energy. This is what you can realize as ascended master students if you have not realized it already, that which is of a lower vibration can be changed by a higher vibration. The lower vibration cannot withstand the higher vibration when you invite the higher into your force field.
When you accept it and accept that you can receive it right now, you do not have to fulfill any conditions before you receive it. You can receive it right now! The only question is: In which now will you open yourself to receive it, to receive the love that is given that is beyond conditions? Will it be now or some future now?
I do not judge you either way. I just want you to hold one thought in your mind, and that is: “In whatever now you decide to accept my love, I will give it.” I will not fail giving that love.
With this, I have given you what I evaluate you can handle, what the collective consciousness can handle, and still allowing you to maintain some sense of equilibrium. For I respect your free will. It is all well and good that I can say these things and you can hear them, but some of you are not ready to fully embrace what I am saying, and I have no judgment of that. I fully accept that you are on a very dark and dense planet, that it is not easy to open yourself to unconditional love, that it may take time for most people to do this, and so I am seeking to leave you with the awareness that I am always here for you without making you feel that you should be ready for me now or last week or tomorrow.
The process towards your ascension is your process. As an angel, even an archangel, I am not here to push you, but to give you the space to grow as you see fit. Just remember one thing. You are defining the path to the ascension, I am not. I am willing to give you everything you need right now, right here. You decide when you are ready to accept it. You decide if you want to accept it in increments, and I leave that decision to you without any judgment whatsoever.
I know this will be difficult for most of you to accept, but there will come a point where you experience my love, and therefore, you experience there cannot be any judgment in unconditional love, can there? With this, I seal you in my flame of love, which is a joyful flame of love.
Archangel Chamuel, I AM.
