Ascended Master MORE through Kim Michaels, June 6, 2025. This dictation was given the conference in Seoul, South Korea: Being the Living Christ in everyday life.

I AM the Ascended Master MORE, and I am always MORE I AM.

What is the essence of the Christ? The Christ is always more. In any situation on Earth, whatever you may encounter, the question always is: “Do I want to be more, or do I want to conform to what is?” There is always a temptation from the prince of this world, from the demons of Mara, to conform to what is.

The subtle message is: “What is cannot be more, must not be more, does not need to be more. It is impossible to be more than what is.” You will even see those who have glorified this, saying: “Ah, what is, is just what is, and there is no point in trying to be more. You just have to accept what is, and in that you are free, you are awakened. You are enlightened when you are not striving to be more.” Well, my beloved, where did this nonsense come from? Certainly not from my mind, and certainly not from the Christ mind.

The Christ mind and the purpose of creation

What is the function of the Christ mind? You might say: “To unify the Creator with its creation.” Yes, but that is not all, there is more. For what is the purpose of the Creator creating a creation, creating a world of form? It is to send extensions of itself, of its own Being, into the world of form, where they may start out with this point-like sense of self, and gradually expand it by becoming more. What is the purpose of this? To draw those sparks, those spirit sparks of the Creator’s Being, not really back into the Creator’s being, but to draw them towards the Creator consciousness, so that they become creators in their own right.

What does it take for a spirit spark with a point-like sense of identity to reach the Creator consciousness? It must strive for more, and then more, and then more, and continue to strive for more, until it reaches that level of the Creator consciousness. Even then, there is still more, but that is still such a long way off that it is something neither you or I need to worry about in the present moment.

Now, you see what we have said: This is the Christ mind. In any situation where there is an opening for the Christ mind to be expressed, what does it seek to do? It does not, as Kuan Yin so carefully explained, seek to make one person right, the other person wrong, one argument right, one ideology, one religion right. Nay. It seeks to show everyone that in any situation on Earth there is more, and when you reach for the more, you can transcend what is, for Earth is, of course, an unnatural planet.

How to escape suffering

Why is there suffering on Earth? Because of the duality consciousness. When you come and say: “What is is what is, and it cannot be more,” what are you actually saying? You are saying the Earth can never be free of suffering. This is, of course, the fallen beings’ dream. They can take a planet into an unnatural state, and nothing can free it from it. Once it is there, it is trapped indefinitely, and they can rule the planet and milk the inhabitants of their energy. This is the fallen consciousness. It wants to lower something below the level of a natural planet and keep it there indefinitely.

What is the only thing that can counteract this? The Christ mind, but how does it do it? By always showing that there is more than what is. If what is cannot become more, where is the possibility of escaping suffering that the Buddha talked about, that Jesus talked about, that many spiritual and mystical traditions have talked about?

What is the purpose of a higher state of consciousness if it is not to escape suffering? You look at the false gurus who are parading their wares out there, where they are saying: “Oh, you must come to a point where you just accept what is.” Where does it come from? Well, it comes from these traditions that the false gurus have created, especially in the East, where they say: “Only Brahman is real, the world is an illusion. And spiritual growth means that you come to a point where you have transcended all sense of self, and you accept what is, you accept conditions as they are on Earth, you do not strive to improve them, to make them better, you just accept what is, and in that you are supposedly awakened or enlightened.”

The lie of accepting what is

Well, my beloved, if that is the definition of awakening, then I am not awakened. If that is the definition of enlightenment, then I am not enlightened. Yet I am an ascended master, so I am beyond what human beings define as awakening or enlightenment, for I am more than any definition that could be given on Earth.

As I said, the idea that you should accept what is for what it is, and not strive to be more, is a denial of the very purpose of life. This is what in Eastern traditions often is not asked. If Brahman, the undifferentiated, was all that existed before the world of form, that means Brahman must have decided to create the world, and Brahman must have created the world out of itself, for what else was there? This must mean that Brahman had a purpose for creating the world. So many times in the East, they do not ask that question, because they have been trapped in this idea that the ultimate goal of spiritual growth is to return to Brahman, the undifferentiated, whereby the self ceases to exist.

Why was the self created? It was created to become more. Why was the world created? Out of Brahman’s, the Creator’s, desire to become more. The desire to become more is the driving force, not only behind this world of form, but behind innumerable worlds of form, far more than you could possibly fathom, far more than I could even fathom as an ascended master.

I can at least fathom what I cannot fathom, which is progress compared to the fallen beings who think they can fathom and define everything. What is it they have done? They have defined an entire false teaching, and they have then projected that this is the ultimate spiritual understanding, the ultimate spiritual teaching. What is the function of the Christ? To show that this is not the ultimate spiritual teaching because there is more to understand, more to grasp, more to experience.

That is always the purpose of the Christ: to show that there is more. This is not a simple point to get. We have seen over the many, many years we have given teachings about Christhood, how students have come, they have understood that there is this concept called Christhood, but they think it means you reach some ultimate state. Some even think that the ascension means reaching some ultimate state. The reality is that it is never the goal of the Christ mind to define or to prove some ultimate truth. It is only the goal of the Christ mind to, in any situation, demonstrate there is more.

The Christ does not seek to prove anything on Earth

You see how this ties in with Kuan Yin’s talk about wanting to be right, by having some ultimate proof that this is the superior argument, this is the highest idea, this is the highest teaching. It is truly not the goal of the Christ to prove anything on Earth. It is the goal of the Christ to always show that there is more. Take a situation where you have this personal conflict between two people. They each want to be right, each want their egos to be proven ultimately right, and in the mind of the ego this means that the other person must be proven wrong.

What do they both do? They go into this state of mind where you are seeking to prove the other wrong in order to prove yourself right. What is it that Christ wants to do? It does not want to prove any of them wrong or put any of them down. It wants to raise up both of them. If both of them are seeking to put the other down, how can either of them be open to the Christ expressing itself through them? One of the saddest situations you can see on the path is where two people both believe they have attained a certain level of Christhood, but now because of some conflict that springs from unresolved psychology, the subconscious selves, they are trying to prove the other wrong, they are trying to prove each other wrong. They think it has some epic importance that they prove themselves right, because otherwise terrible things are going to happen, whether it be to themselves or their spiritual movement or whatever it may be.

What is the only solution? Well, ultimately it is that both come to the realization: I want to be more. But at least if you can come to that realization, you can free yourself from this never-ending unresolvable conflict. You see, if you are trying to prove other people wrong, you cannot be more, for you are seeking to attain something in this world, and being more means reaching beyond this world. This, of course, the ego cannot fathom, this, of course, the fallen beings cannot fathom, because they are seeking to reach an ultimate state in this world by using the things of this world. It is the Tower of Babel, building a tower that reaches into the heavens by using the things on Earth.

What will happen? It will collapse under its own weight, and for some only such a collapse has a chance of awakening them to again reach for more. Not everyone needs to go through this process, for many have the potential to see the futility of it, the vanity of it.
