Ascended Master Lord Lanto through Kim Michaels, May 21, 2026. This dictation was given at the conference in Kazakhstan: Co-creating with the ascended masters on the seven rays.

I AM the Ascended Master Lord Lanto, as you probably have guessed, based on Master MORE opening the conference, it is again, as we have talked about before, a little bit of a dilemma to talk about the seven rays in a linear fashion, especially when it relates to co-creation, because the question is: Is co-creation a linear process? And that is one of these philosophical questions that I will throw out here and then leave for now but return to later.

Co-creation vs. De-creation

What you have heard from Master MORE and Mother Mary is setting the foundation for grasping what co-creation is all about. But I wish to take this another step further. Co-creation—as opposed to de-creation, or at least as different from de-creation. What is the central difference? Well, we have explained very carefully over the years that when you descend to the 48th level of consciousness, you have an intuitive sense of connection to something outside your own mind. As long as you are basing your co-creative efforts on that intuitive connection, you are co-creating.

Even if you do not have a perfect vision, which of course you do not at the 48th level on a planet like earth, of what you are connected to. Even if you do not have a clear vision where everything, all images you are projecting out are based on the Christ mind. They are, as Master MORE said, based on your current level of consciousness. And on a planet like earth, with the density it has, the 48th level is not particularly high. But still, when you focus on your intuition, when you seek to get the highest image you can get intuitively, when you are willing to look at the outcome of your experiment and your reaction to it and therefore, raise your consciousness, then you are co-creating. When you go below the 48th level of consciousness and you lose your intuitive connection, then you are not co-creating. You cannot be co-creating. Even if you are creating something, as Master MORE said, that actually benefits other people, you are still not co-creating, because you cannot co-create if you do not have an intuitive d.

The dream of perfect materialization

Therefore, what is duality? What is separation? What does it mean to go below the 48th level? What are you actually doing? Well, you are not co-creating, but you are still experimenting with your co-creative abilities. You are just exercising those abilities in a specific way. And that is, of course, not as a connected being, but as a separate being. What do you do as a separate being? Well, you are essentially thinking that in your mind you are capable of defining a mental image, projecting it upon the Ma-ter light, and you think that the Ma-ter light should conform to your image. In other words, you are thinking you should be able to formulate a mental image, and manifest it in the physical, exactly as it is in your mind. There should be a one-on-one correspondence between the image in your mind and what is manifest physically. That is what you think. And the further you go below the 48th level of consciousness, the more you become convinced that this is the right approach.

The fallen beings at the lowest level of consciousness are absolutely convinced that this is the right approach and that by continuing to seek to find a way, some magical way, to make the universe conform to their mental image, they will one day be successful. And some of them base this on experience where they have been able to, for example, create a company and grow it to be dominant in the market and employ hundreds of thousands of people or they have set themselves up as dictators for a nation, ruling the nation, perhaps conquering other nations. Based on these experiences, they convince themselves that it should be possible to have a one-on-one correspondence between the image in their minds and the physical conditions they face.

Is a one-on-one correspondence realistic?

Now, as Master More explained and Mother Mary explained, this is not actually realistic. You will never have a one-on-one correspondence between the image in your mind and the physical conditions you face. Why not? Because no man or woman is an island. You are not the only person on the planet. You are here with eight billion other people who also have mental images in their minds that they are projecting upon the Ma-ter light. There will never be any being in embodiment, even on a natural planet, but certainly not on an unnatural planet, who will have a one-on-one correspondence. This dream of the perfect materialization of your image is an impossible dream and you, the spiritual people, need to give it up if you still have remnants of it in your mind. And it is easy to even take ascended master teachings and think that: “Oh, but when Saint Germain was the wonder man of Europe, he could take a diamond that had a flaw in it, and he could go through this chemical process and remove the flaw. It should be possible, if I really have a connection to the ascended masters, if I really refine my co-creative abilities, I should be able to have a one-on-one correspondence. Because if my image is based on the Christ mind, it should be manifest.” But this is what Mother Mary tried to explain to you, it is an unrealistic expectation.

Experimenting below the 48th level

Back to, what are you doing when you are exercising your co-creative abilities below the 48th level of consciousness? Well, as I said, you are experimenting: What can you do with your mind? What are the capabilities and the limitations of the human mind? What can you do, what can you not do? But beyond all of this, the overall experiment that you are conducting is, when will you reach a point where you have had enough of exercising your co-creative abilities as a separate being? When will you consciously recognize that you no longer want to be a de-creator, you no longer want to use your mind’s abilities as a separate being. You are ready to consciously, voluntarily, give up this way of exercising your free will and your co-creativity. You will, therefore, give this up permanently and now you will change your entire approach so that you are not trying to create a mental image in your mind alone, you are reaching up, connecting to the ascended masters who are representing the entire hierarchy reaching up to the Creator.

And this entire hierarchy is what embodies the wisdom that has been gained from the moment this world of form started, until today. What you are connecting into is this collective experience with co-creation. And therefore, you are able to tie in, we might say, you do not have to reinvent the wheel that has already been invented by tens of thousands of now ascended beings before you. And this, of course, makes it more likely that your co-creation will succeed. But it also, of course, brings you in alignment with the Christ vision, both the higher vision of what is possible and the practical vision of what is possible in your current situation here on earth.

Giving up duality

You see how this ties in with Master MORE so carefully explained that if you have a mental image of the ascended masters, you cannot co-create with us. And as Mother Mary said, you are not co-creating with us then, you are co-creating with a mental image in your own mind, you are co-creating with your own mind. But that is actually de-creation, that is just continuing the process of thinking that your mind can formulate an image, project it upon the Ma-ter light, and have the Ma-ter light out-picture, have one-on-one correspondence between the image and the physical conditions.

In other words, what we are trying to help you see here is that over the many decades, we have given teachings as ascended masters, but also given other teachings that we did not say came from ascended masters. We have seen that there are some students who have not grasped this. They have simply not grasped this particular consideration that I am presenting to you. And based on us seeing this, we have, in this dispensation, very carefully built up by giving you gradually a deeper and deeper understanding of the duality consciousness and what it is.

And as I said, the central realization you need to come to before you can start co-creating is precisely that you are allowed to go into duality, you are allowed to experiment with it as long as you want, but this is not co-creation. You will not start co-creating until you voluntarily and consciously give up exercising your free will and your co-creativity as a separate being. We have also very carefully built up this understanding that in duality there are always two polarities, and they are always associated with the value judgment. One is right, one is wrong, one is good, one is bad, one is real, one is unreal. And when you are in duality, while you are still in duality, you think one of them is right. This is not duality, this is the way it is.

Seeing the teachings through a dualistic filter

Now you hear about ascended master teachings, and if you do not grasp what duality is, you can transfer the dualistic worldview to ascended masters, and you can now, in your mind, think that whatever the ascended masters give us as teachings, that is right, as opposed to other teachings from the fallen beings that are wrong. But that is too simplistic. This is what we have very carefully, since the beginning of this dispensation, built up to. Our teachings are not right, compared to other teachings that are wrong. Our teachings are beyond the dualistic scale. The difficult thing to grasp for many people, as we have seen it over the years, is when you are in duality, you can only see through that filter, that coloring, and therefore, you cannot see that there is an alternative to duality.

You can think intellectually, analytically. You can see the dualistic polarities, the dualistic extremes, but you think that because we ascended masters are beyond it, our teachings are not dualistic. And that is correct, our teachings are not dualistic, but the way students look at our teachings can still be dualistic. In other words, there are some students that find our teachings, even in this dispensation, they hear about the duality consciousness, but they are thinking, they are not looking at our teachings in a dualistic way. They are looking at our teachings in a non-dualistic way, in a neutral way. But that is not always the case. In fact, most of you have to go through a process before you let go of the dualistic coloring that you superimpose upon our teachings and upon us. And this is a very delicate process, a very difficult process on a planet as dense as earth, where you have the saying of Jesus, be ye wise as serpents, harmless as doves.

Becoming wise to dualistic tricks

And it does not really mean that you become as wise as the serpents, because the serpents are wise in a dualistic way. They are very skilled at using the duality consciousness to create a veil of confusion. They are very skilled at creating a dualistic coloring and superimposing it upon any idea, even the teachings of the ascended masters, pulling our teachings down into the dualistic quicksand. You are not becoming as good as the serpents at using duality, you are becoming wise to the serpents and the dualistic tricks they always use.

And harmless as doves means you are not seeking to fight them, to prove them wrong, to become smarter than them or even to oppose them. You are going beyond their level of consciousness. And what is their level of consciousness? Simply this, they still think they are so wise, so capable, that they can formulate an image in their minds of how the universe actually works, without connecting to the ascended masters. And if you seek to become as wise as them, you are still trapped in that same mindset. You are still thinking your mind can formulate an image of how the world really works. And you even think that because you have found the ascended master’s teachings, you can formulate a better image based on our teachings.

The gradual process of escaping duality

Be very careful here, listen to what I am saying. We are not blaming you for doing this. We have been in embodiment on earth. And when we first started awakening and questioning duality, we reacted the way you did because you cannot do anything else on a dense planet like this. You cannot instantly awaken and see through all of the dualistic illusions. It is a gradual process, but at least you can begin the process by becoming consciously aware of what I am telling you. And you need to recognize here that in the beginning, when you find the ascended master’s teachings, when you begin to work with them, study them, integrate them, your mind will have a mixture. You will still have many dualistic ideas, beliefs, approaches, a certain coloring of duality, that you superimpose upon us. And there is nothing wrong with it in the sense that it is unavoidable. It is, of course, not constructive and it will prevent you from co-creating with us.

The challenge of connecting to real ascended masters

Do you see what we have been trying to say so far? Co-creation requires you to connect directly to us, the ascended masters, not to an image of us that you have in your minds. Few of you realize, in fact the messenger himself does not even realize, how difficult of a process it was for him to become a messenger because he had to question all of the images he had of the ascended masters. Even the images he had taken on by being a part of the Summit Lighthouse dispensation for so many years, where there was a certain coloring of what ascended masters are. Again, it is not that it was wrong, it was what could be given at the time, given the collective consciousness and that this was the last dispensation of the Piscean Age. We are not blaming anyone for this, we are not looking back and saying, “oh that was wrong”, we are saying that was what was necessary at the time, the practical reality.

But in order to become a messenger for us in a new dispensation in the Aquarian Age, he had to question his own images so that he was not projecting upon us what we should say, what we should not say, or how we should say it. And in the process of doing this, he encountered people who had very specific images of ascended masters based on Summit Lighthouse, I Am Movement and so forth, and who wanted to project this upon him, that if he was a real messenger for the ascended masters, then what he got from us should live up to these people’s images based on previous dispensations. But you see what this does. First of all, these people are still in a state of mind where they believe they can formulate an image of what ascended masters are like, and they believe that we should then conform to it. We have no right to shock them, to surprise them, to say something they do not expect. And if we do, then we are not the real masters. Or the messenger did not get it right. It was his consciousness that was interfering.

Crossing the gap

But you see, they had not begun to grasp what I am hoping you can grasp. They were not co-creating with us. They were co-creating with the images in their own minds. And that means there is a gap between the image and us. And given that we respect free will, we must then stand back. And as Master More talked about, the closing of the figure-eight flow, well, it never closed because their energies rose to a certain level, but there was still a gap up to our level, and they could never cross the gap. And we could do nothing about it.

What we are endeavoring to do here is to help you cross that gap. But that means using your wisdom of the second ray to see what the serpentine mind does. You can say, again, “do not be too linear about this”, but you can say that there is a fallen mindset that is, for most of these fallen beings, geared towards, as I said, superimposing an image on the Ma-ter light and having that one-on-one correspondence between the physical manifestation and the image. Their attention is directed outwards, here in the material universe. But then there is the serpentine mind which is also directed upwards and believes it can superimpose images upon the spiritual realm, upon God. The serpents believe that not only can they formulate an image of how the material universe works, but also how the spiritual realm works, how God works, how God is, how ascended masters are.

Escaping your mental images

And we have again been very careful in this dispensation of building up these teachings so you can see the fallacy there. What is the purpose of the Christ mind? It is to help you escape duality. You are allowed to go into separation. The law of free will allows this. The Christ consciousness is set up so that no matter how deeply you go into separation, you can connect to something outside your own mind that can help you question your illusion, therefore, take a step up in consciousness, a step closer to the 48th level. But how do you do this? Only by connecting to something outside your own mind.

What is the purpose of ascended masters? Because we are, of course, the ones who are administering the Christ consciousness to earth. It is to help you escape your current mental image, not to validate it. You see, if we validate your mental image, we are not helping you escape it. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. There are certain binary conditions that are either or. As we have said, you cannot be a separate being and be connected at the same time. It is not possible. You cannot be unascended and ascended at the same time. It is not logical. We as ascended masters will never conform to your mental images. As long as you are so in love with your mental image of us that you will not allow us to surprise you, we must stand back and say: “Well, they have chosen. They have chosen their mental image of us over us, and we must respect that choice. And therefore, we must leave them in the state of separation.” And this is a process that continues all the way to the 96th level of consciousness. Because as you climb, even after you have again established a connection and you are climbing the course of self-mastery towards the 96th level, you still have mental images of us, of the spiritual realm, of yourself.

The 96th level

The whole course in self-mastery is, of course, set up to help you gradually shed these images. But at the 96th level, you need to pass that initiation that we have also now at several conferences described, where you let go of the focus on self. And although we have described this focus on self in various ways, the essence of it really is this: You are seeking to define an image in your mind. You are still thinking that you can define an image in your mind of how the world should work. And you are even thinking that as you climb the spiritual path, as you study and apply the ascended master’s teachings, there will still come a point where now you have defined the ultimate image of how everything works. And you are even thinking that one day the Christ consciousness, the ascended masters, will validate your image.

Seeking validation for your self-image

And that is what causes you to be focused on self, because you are seeking validation. This does not mean you are not making progress on the path. You are climbing from the 48th to the 49th level by giving up one separate self, one illusion. You keep giving up illusions until you reach that 96th level. And you have given up a lot of illusions, but you have still maintained, I am saying you because we all did the same thing when we were in embodiment, you have still maintained that last self-image of who you are, what you are, what kind of a world you are in, what the spiritual realm is like, what your ascended masters are like. You are still maintaining that illusion that you can define it and that it will one day be validated. And in your mind this image has an epic importance. It is for you, when you are seeing through the filter of that image, a matter of life and death. It is of epic importance that this image is validated. And basically, many people, as they climb towards the 96th level, they are always seeking validation. You are willing to let go of certain illusions. You are saying: I was not right about this, I did not understand this fully. You are letting go of this, you are letting go of that, but you are still hoping that there is this one thing that will be validated. And you are hoping that the ascended masters’ teachings, or even our appearance will validate that last image.

And there are a certain percentage of students, I will not put numbers on it because I do not want to discourage you, but there is a certain number of students, certain percentage of students that get it, that begin to question this image before they reach the 96th level. And there are others that do not even have a clue that there is something to question. They are climbing to the 96th level, being willing to give up all of these illusions because they think this particular focus on self is not an illusion, it will be validated. And they think that personal Christhood means the ultimate validation of their self-image.

But you see, in reality, this particular self-image, this particular focus on self is not epically important. It is epically important to the ego because it is the last remnants of ego that you carry with you from below the 48th level, the dualistic ego that you took on and created below the 48th level. You are shedding it gradually, but there is that core of that dualistic ego that you carry with you to the 96th level, and that you really cannot give up as the last ghost until you are crucified on the cross. And until you have the realization that Jesus had on the cross, I am not talking physically crucified, I am talking metaphorically, where he realized that his image of what should or should not happen to him had to go because it was an illusion. God would not validate his self-image by taking him down from the cross. He had to let his body die on the cross.

Feeling psychologically crucified

And it is the same thing with you. You have to come to a point where you are ready, willing, to see this self-image and give it up. And if you have started questioning this before you reach the 96th level, you can do it without being crucified. But if not, you will find that you will gradually work yourself into a situation where you feel psychologically, mentally, crucified. You have no place to go. You cannot stand your current conditions. You cannot stand your current sense of self. And therefore, you feel like Jesus on the cross, that your expectations of being validated will never be fulfilled. And therefore, hopefully hanging on the cross, you can give up that last ghost, otherwise you start going below the 96th level, seeking to still validate that sense of self. But if you have started questioning this before you reach the 96th level, you do not have to get to the point where you feel crucified, because you can come to see that this self is no different from all the other selves you have given up.

To the ego it has epic proportions, but to the Conscious You it is just like any other self. It is based on an illusion. It is based on a certain belief, a very sophisticated belief perhaps. But it is all an illusion. And when you see this, it is actually no more difficult to give up the self at the 96th level than it was to give up all the other selves you have given up.

You see, you can build a momentum that makes it easier for yourself to give up the last element of the ego. But if you do not see it, then you will literally have to do it the hard way by coming to the point where you feel crucified. And then there is the possibility that you will take yourself down from the cross by going into denial about the need to give up the ghost. And therefore, you go below the 96th level and perhaps even go below the 48th seeking to validate that last self. And you seek to build on to it, make it more and more sophisticated. And the difference here is really whether you get what the messenger asked to be expressed yesterday in one of the answers he gave.

Do you get that the spiritual path, the path to Christhood, the path to the ascension, is about giving up? Or do you think it is about acquiring some special ability defined here on earth, that is seeking validation? Do you think the spiritual path is about validating the separate self or giving up the separate self?

Connecting with the masters

What will it require for you to co-create with us? Well, you have to first connect. You cannot connect with a remote God in the sky, but you cannot co-create with a remote God in the sky, because there will always be a gap. If we are to co-create with you, you must connect to us. We cannot connect to you. We could be who we are. We are here right now with you. You may think, in a previous dispensation, we were seen as being way up there. You had to build this force field so we could come down and give a dictation. You may think we are up there remote from you, but we are everywhere in the material universe because the material universe exists inside our minds. It is created out of the mind of the Elohim and even we, the Chohans. We are serving to uphold the material universe. It is as if the earth is inside my mind and my mind is penetrating, interpenetrating every molecule, every atom, and therefore, it is also here with you. You may think I am somewhere behind the messenger speaking through the messenger, but I am everywhere, even with you personally, individually. And how will you individually co-create with me unless you connect with me in your minds?

Having a messenger give a dictation is just a crude attempt to help you overcome the sense of distance so you can connect with us directly in your minds. But that really cannot be done until you reach that 96th level and give up that final separate self that creates the gap between you and us. And when you give that up, it might feel as if you are giving up something and you do not know what is going to come in its stead, because you have been used to having this sense of self for so long that you have for a long time thought this is who you are. But when you begin to question it, you realize: “This is not who I am” and therefore, you can come to that point where you are willing to say, “I will give it up, come what may”. And you see, your separate self, this last remnant of the ego and all of the dark forces associated with Earth will scream at you: “You cannot give this up, there will be nothing of you left, this is who you are, you must hold on to it or you will be nothing.”

But that is why we have again given you these teachings about the Conscious You. The Conscious You has created the separate sense of identity, it has not become it. When you give up that last element of ego, the Conscious You does not die, it does not disappear, it does not become nothing. What does it do? Well, it does not do anything but it connects to the I AM Presence, to the ascended masters. As I said, we are right there with you. Why do not you see us? Why do not you experience us? Because there is that last self that creates the distance between us. When you give up that self, you will experience us. Not all the time, it is not like the messenger is experiencing us every minute of every day when he is performing ordinary tasks, he is just focused on the task he is doing, but nevertheless he can connect with us at any time and so can you when you reach that level. And it does not mean you become a marionette, we are always telling you to do this and you do it. No, but my desire is to help you see that you will not be alone, you will not be nothingness, but you will not be validated the way your ego is seeking validation. You will realize you are the Conscious You and you do not need validation.

If you took this ego centered view based on separation, you might say: “Oh this messenger is a messenger for the ascended masters, he has been validated as being special.” But he is a messenger for the ascended masters because he gave up the desire to be special and to be validated by us. He gave it up before Jesus started working with him in 2002. And if he had not given up that last ghost, he would not have become a messenger, it is that simple. My point is, there is nothing special about the messenger, he has never claimed this himself, we have never claimed it other than he has been willing to give up what you have not yet given up, but which you are fully as capable of giving up as the messenger was. If you doubt me, take something close to you and hold it out like this in two fingers and open your fingers, will it fall to the ground? Good example. The messenger has no ability that you do not have to open your fingers and let go, to mentally let go. That is the essential requirement for walking the path towards Christhood.

“I can of my own self do nothing”

Now, there are many definitions floating around out there and there are even ascended master students who have created their own definitions based on ascended master teachings of what the spiritual path is about, and they think it is a path of attainment, of validation. You acquire special abilities, well you may acquire special abilities above the 96th level of consciousness, but you will not acquire these real abilities until you give up that lower view of the path where you are seeking validation.

Jesus had special abilities beyond what this messenger has, but he had to give up the desire to be validated before he acquired those abilities and still, he was mindful, as you can see even in the scriptures, I can, on my own self, do nothing. Jesus did not see himself as having special abilities, as this messenger does not allow himself to see himself as having special abilities. And then, maybe spirit will do something through you, maybe spirit will not do anything special through you, but you are at peace either way because you are realizing: “I can on my own self do nothing”, and you are not seeking to do something out of your own self.

Giving up the sense of separation forever

You see, going back to my point in the beginning, co-creation requires you to see duality and see that going into duality was a necessary step in order to explore what you can do with your free will so you gain experience with using your co-creative abilities as a separate being so that you can come back and give it up and ascend.

You see, in the ascended realm, no master is using his or her abilities as a separate being. We are all in harmony with each other through the One mind. Master MORE and I may meet and talk about what we are going to release at this conference. We never have a disagreement or difference of opinions about it. We see how we can supplement and complement each other. In the ascended realm we have voluntarily given up this ability to use our free will as separate beings.

That is the essential requirement for the ascension, because otherwise the fallen beings would find a way to sneak into the ascended realm and they would create the same havoc in the ascended realm as they have created on earth. Of course, they would never get in, but if they were to get in you see, and that is why again there is this absolute barrier. You either give up that desire to have the separate self be the master of the universe and you realize that there are masters of the universe, but they are on a fundamentally different level of consciousness than you are in the unascended state. And they have risen to that level of consciousness by giving up that desire for validation in this world, seeking their reward in heaven rather than on earth. And when you see that and give it up, that is when you pass the 96th level. You still, as we have explained, have illusions that took you down from the 144th to the 96th that you are working on, as this messenger is working on, as all who have climbed above the 96th level are working on. You are not in an ultimate state of consciousness, but you have passed a very important corner of overcoming that focus on self.

Seeking to raise up the whole

And therefore, what can you do? Well, instead of seeking to raise up yourself you are seeking to raise up the whole. That is when you are co-creating because what are we as ascended masters doing? We are seeking to raise up the whole.

You may think, from the viewpoint of earth here, and we have seen ascended master students go into this over the years, you may think that, oh some masters are higher than others. Oh, Sanat Kumara is at a higher level then Lord Lanto. But you see, all of this fades away in the ascended realm. From a certain perspective, yes, of course, there is a hierarchy of different levels of even ascended awareness. And of course, Sanat Kumara ascended long before I did and is at a higher level of awareness today than I am. But there is no value judgment associated with it. Sanat Kumara does not see himself as more special. It is not that, at the ascended level you are deciding: “Now I have ascended. Now I want to reach a higher level than all these other masters. I am going to get up there on the top and be the most important ascended master.” All of this falls away or you cannot ascend. It is meaningless. It is like the consideration loses its meaning just like the dualistic polarities lose their meaning when you pass that initiation at the 96th level. You are not seeking to co-create, because you want to achieve something that nobody else has achieved or achieve something that makes you special. All of this falls away and you are just seeking to find your place in the whole of how you can serve with the ascended masters to raise that whole.

Why the spiritual path is not linear

Is growth, awakening, ascension, a gradual process? Is it a linear process? Is growth, is co-creation, a linear process or non-linear process? You cannot answer that question because the question is asked from a certain level of consciousness and the way that level of consciousness defines the question is still in duality. And when you rise above that level of consciousness that formulated the question, the question fades away. It becomes meaningless. The differentiation becomes meaningless. We have, yes, given you a very linear image. Starting at the 48th you go through the seven books of the Path to Self-Mastery course towards the 96th level. But is it a guarantee that someone who takes Master MORE’s book, starts at chapter one, gives the exercise, studies it, that that person will be guaranteed to rise from the 48th to the 49th level? And if he takes chapter two and does the same and goes through all of the other books, is that person guaranteed to reach the 96th level? Nay. And that is because it is not an entirely linear mechanical process.

That is what the fallen beings are trying to reduce the universe to. But it cannot be done because everything is a creative process. You see what we have said here in these three dictations? The Creator had a vision when it started this world of form, but it was not fixed. It has been revised many times as the spheres have unfolded. You see that even creation itself is not a mechanical linear process. It requires choices. Could you have a person who started with Master MORE’s book and followed the course for some time suddenly awaken at the 96th level? Yes, that could happen if that person had worked through the lower levels in a previous lifetime and in this lifetime just needed to reconnect to what it had achieved previously. It is also possible that a person at one of the lower books, say my book on the second ray, could suddenly understand what the initiation on the 96th level is really all about. And therefore, it could give up that focus on self.

It does not mean it would not have to go through the other initiations, but it would be so much easier for the person to do it once it had seen through that focus on self. It is not a linear mechanical process, but what we have attempted to do is to give you linear steps so that you can avoid the confusion that is always seeking to derail you.

Do you understand? There is so much confusion on earth, so much influence from the collective consciousness, from the dark forces and fallen beings that are seeking to derail you from your path. And a protection against that is a linear, structured, step-by-step process because it helps you build a momentum and to keep going. And it will help you greatly, it just cannot guarantee it because everything comes down to your choices. As they say in quantum physics, “you can calculate the probability of something happening”. And if a person follows the course to self-mastery, the higher you go, the more probability there is that you will pass the initiation at the 96th level.

But you can never, as they also say in quantum physics, predict with certainty where the electron of your being is going to be, whether it is going to make that choice to see the focus on self and give it up, or whether it is going to continue to seek to validate it.

With this, I have given you my contribution and it has been a great joy for me to be able to share this with you. I know you probably recognize that I have a tendency as the master of the second ray to appeal to your logical, reasoning, rational mind and show you the inconsistencies. And that is indeed a quality of the second ray. Like Jesus said, let us reason together, let us reason. You cannot ultimately reason your way into heaven. You can only get to heaven by letting go. But you can reason so that it becomes easier to make that final step of letting go of that focus on self. Because you can see, with the reasoning mind, that it is just another self, no different really than all the other selves you have already given up.

Why can you not give up this last self and be finally free of this coloring that has followed you for so long, causing you to always worry: “Am I going to be validated or put down, when will I be validated, how will it happen, when will the masters appear and validate me after all I have done?” And when you let go of that, it is the greatest relief you are going to experience on earth, the absolute greatest relief. We have, all who have ascended, gone through it. And we still look back and say that was a greater relief almost than the ascension because the ascension again, when you reach the 144th level, it is not such a big step because you have already taken so many steps. It is just one more step.

With this, I will take one more step back to my normal state, however you might see that. And the question is, am I leaving you or am I with you always? That is your choice to make because I have already made mine when I ascended. Lord Lanto, I AM.
