Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels, July 5, 2026. This dictation was given at the 2026 American Webinar: Will There Be Another 250 Years?

I AM the Ascended Master Saint Germain, and we have determined that I will give the sealing dictation for this webinar, taking the place that is normally held by Gautama. This is because we have determined that we would dictate using names and masters and identities that American people are more familiar with, which gives us a better opportunity to speak directly into the collective consciousness. 

America’s focus on technology

As this final address, let me take a look at another aspect of what is happening in America right now and has been happening for some time. If you look at American history, you will see that going back to the time of the Founding Fathers, America was primarily driven by farming and by people who worked hard. You had many of the early settlers in America who came over because they dreamt of having an opportunity that they could not attain in Europe, namely owning their own land and growing that land and reaping the fruit of their own labor. Their vision really was to be farmers, settlers, to work the land, which they could not attain in Europe.

Later, what started to happen was that there were people who started incarnating in America or immigrating to America who had a different focus. They wanted to see the opportunity to be inventive, to bring forth something new. What started to happen there is that new technologies were brought forth in America. You have the famous example of the Wright Brothers, but many others of course.

What you have seen is that there has been a shift away from what we might call physical work to more innovative work. But the innovative work has become very focused on technology. America sent a man to the moon by creating incredibly complex technology. America became the seat of the computer industry, the popularization of computers that has changed society in so many ways. America was among the first nations to really embrace the Internet for the larger part of the population. 

What you see is that what has emerged in the American collective consciousness is this belief that technology is the way of the future. Technology is the key to the future. And I am not saying this is entirely wrong, because technological innovation is, of course, a very integral part of my vision for the golden age. As I have talked about several times with new technologies, first of all new forms of energy.

But there has also emerged in the American collective consciousness this idea among many people that technology will solve our problems. And this we need to put a very big question mark with. We need to issue a statement of caution because the fact of the matter is that technology will not solve humankind’s problems.

It will, of course, change the equation and remove certain limitations, but it will not solve humankind’s problems because humankind’s problems are caused by humankind’s consciousness, their psychology, their unresolved psychology. And technology cannot resolve psychology. It simply cannot be done.

AI: A blind alley

These problems are, of course, caused by the duality consciousness and technology cannot resolve this. Technology can be used by people in the duality consciousness to attempt to force society and individuals in a certain direction. And what you see right now is, of course, the emergence of artificial intelligence technology where there are people in America and elsewhere who believe that when AI becomes complex enough, it can mimic not only human intelligence but human consciousness.

And this, of course, is a complete blind alley which a growing number of scientists are realizing, including some of the people who were instrumental in inventing, for example, the microprocessor or pioneering AI. And this, of course, is something we have talked about before because the unique thing about human beings is you have self-awareness or at least the potential to awaken to self-awareness. And that is because your Conscious You is an extension of your I AM Presence which is an extension of ascended masters which are extensions all the way up through the cosmic hierarchy to the Creator. 

There is, in a certain sense, we could say only one self-aware mind, and it is the Creator’s mind, which it has extended to all self-aware beings. This is not an awareness that was created in this world, in the material world. Therefore, it cannot be replicated by technology in this world. It simply is not possible.

The impossible dream

Who is it that wants to do this? Who is it that wants to create technology that can exceed human beings? Well, it is ultimately coming from the fallen beings. When you look at history you will see, as we have said now many times, that there has always been a power elite that wants to control the population.

When you also look at history, you see that they have never really been able to do this in the long term. They have been able to do it for sometimes, some periods, but something has always overthrown their control. And what is that? Well, self-awareness. You cannot keep a good self-awareness down because it is an extension of, it is out of, the Christ consciousness. It will always seek back to its source.

The fallen beings, because they do not grasp this, because their self-awareness has been covered over by all of these separate selves they have created, they do not understand that they are trying to do the impossible by controlling humankind. They will not entertain that idea, they will not admit this, because this would question their sense of infallibility, where they felt they were absolutely right, the ascended masters are wrong, it was unjust that we would not allow them to do whatever they wanted to do, and so forth.

Because they are in this state of denial, they cannot grasp that it is impossible to control humankind. They cannot grasp what the self-awareness is as an extension of the Christ consciousness. Therefore, they believe that it will be possible for them to create their own life form that is created in this world, that is mechanical and therefore, can be controlled by them.

We have, in previous dispensations, talked about the mechanization concept. There are also fallen beings who believe that it is possible to somehow manipulate human beings so that they become mechanized, so they become controllable. This again is impossible in the long run, even though some temporary things can be achieved.

What the fallen beings would like to do with AI is create technology that is entirely mechanical, so that it can be programmed to do what the fallen beings want without this randomness, as they see it, this unpredictability of human beings.

You will know that quantum physics says that at the quantum level you cannot predict with certainty what the outcome of a measurement will be. You can predict probability, but there is always the possibility that something different happens. This is because there is consciousness at every level of the world of form and therefore, there is a certain level of choice, an element of choice.

And with human beings, you can program them to behave certain ways. You can have a very high probability that they will keep repeating that pattern, but you can never know for certain that somebody’s self-awareness is not suddenly awakened, and they decide to do something different. This is, of course, why the world has progressed, why you have democracies instead of dictatorships, and so forth.

Cognitive dissonance

You see here the cognitive dissonance of the fallen beings. They think they can reduce human beings to a mechanized level where they can be controlled, because they think that human self-awareness and intelligence is a product of the brain. At the same time, they do not think that they could be controlled. In other words, they think human beings can be mechanized but they themselves could not. They are beyond this. They are beyond human beings.

The irony is, of course, that they are the ones who are mechanized because they have created these subconscious selves that have such a grip over the Conscious You that there is very little opening for the Conscious You to become self-aware and say: “Why am I doing this? I want to do something different.” They are the ones who for a very, very long time have been stuck in repeating the patterns of the separate self, seeking ultimate status in this world. They are the ones who are mechanized. They just cannot see it.

Yet my point here is that there is a tendency in America, of course not only in America but especially in America, to believe that we are on the verge of creating technology that can solve all of our problems by doing away with the unpredictability of human beings. There are those who sincerely believe that it will be possible to create brain implants that can cure mental illness, because it is just a matter of discovering how the machinery of the brain works and then we can alter it. There are others who think this can be achieved through gene technology.

The AI bubble

And my point for this entire discourse here is to point out and to speak into the collective consciousness that this is a dead end. Naturally, AI has its uses. It will in some ways revolutionize society and revolutionize technology and it will in some ways free human beings from the drudgery of repetitive work. Yet it will not solve all of humankind’s problems.

And it will actually go through a cycle that is very similar to the dot-com bubble in the early 2000s where many people invested in any kind of internet startup because they thought it was going to be the most amazing way to make money. And then the bubble eventually fell and the AI bubble is on course to do the same. Which means, if you want to invest for your retirement, do not invest in AI.

From physical welfare to well-being

The point here is, what will solve America’s problems is, as we have said, ultimately the Christ consciousness, but on a more general level, the raising of awareness. And the raising of awareness is not a mechanical process. It cannot be reduced to a set of mechanical steps, because it is an individual inner creative process.

What needs to happen for America to fulfill its highest potential is that America becomes a forerunner for the entire human potential self-improvement, self-development movement. The same, of course, applies to other democracies who have that potential, as we have said, to step up from physical welfare to psychological well-being. But America has the potential to be part of this, to really make an effort to say: “How can we help people develop their full potential?”

The problem here is this is the last thing the power elite wants. Because when you develop your potential, you become impossible to control. This is, as we have explained before, exemplified by Jesus, who could not be controlled by the power elite. And the power elite knows that they can kill one, they can kill a few, but if thousands or millions of people raise their awareness, they cannot kill all of them. They literally do not know what to do about this, other than to seek to slow it down, to divert people’s attention, or even to promise that we do not need to develop the human potential, because technology will do it all for us.

Technology is not the solution

You see here that the power elite wants to develop AI technology in order to use it to replace human beings who are unpredictable, but they also want to use it as a diversion for the self-improvement trend, the human potential trend, to say we can solve all our problems with this advanced technology. Because human intelligence, human consciousness, is just a product of mechanical processes in the brain, and we can replicate them with a computer. It is just a matter of creating enough complexity, and then it will happen.

You see the irony, perhaps, that there are people who believe that AI can become more intelligent than human beings, but how is AI created? It is programmed by human beings. The question would be, how can human beings program into AI a greater intelligence than they themselves possess? 

You see again, the development of the human potential can go far beyond what can be achieved by AI, because Christ consciousness could never be replicated mechanically.

Creativity cannot be programmed, because creativity is the unexpected. Creativity is the quantum tunneling effect that allows you to walk through a wall in very rare instances. This, of course, is something that many people in America have been engaged in, for some, for decades. 

And there is a potential that this can crystallize, so that a critical mass of people suddenly see that the real solution to humankind’s problems is to raise awareness to develop the highest human potential.

They may not call it a spiritual path, they may not call it Christ consciousness, but that does not matter. In whatever form they can see it, it can shift the equation in society when they pursue it. And that is, of course, very much part of my vision for the golden age, which is why I bring it to your attention, so that you can, as we have said several times before, hold the vision for this, make the calls for this, but not with the idea that all people should acknowledge ascended masters or ascended master teachings, or come into particular organizations or teachings.

It is a matter of raising awareness, and this can be done in many different ways, including various religions and spiritual movements and philosophies. I am interested in raising awareness, not having everybody become members of a particular religion or organization. That has never been the vision of ascended masters. You are, of course, part of this movement, and by the fact that you have accepted these teachings we have given on resolving psychology, the subconscious selves, raising awareness, you have a potential to play a role in this.

The AM students’ role

You can do it by holding the vision, by making the calls, but you can also, for some of you, do it by speaking out, by going out, sharing your own experiences, like the messenger has done on YouTube, like some of you have started doing on YouTube, where you have described your experiences of walking the spiritual path. And some of you are doing it in other settings, where you are using your profession, such as the medical profession, to talk about, for example, spirituality and healing but there are, of course, many topics that are appropriate here. 

As we have said before, do not give people more than they are ready for. You do not need to have in your mind that people should accept ascended masters or ascended master teachings. You give them whatever they can relate to at their present level of consciousness that helps them raise their awareness. You can, of course, talk about ascended masters when you are sharing your own process, but not for the purpose of converting other people to our teachings. 

It may come, it may not come, but that is not your concern. Your concern is to raise awareness. It does not mean that you have to hide who you are and hide your own path, but it means that you go into a neutral state of mind where you are seeking to help other people rather than promote a particular teaching.

I, for that matter, do not really care whether people acknowledge me as the architect of the golden age. I just want to see a golden age manifest on earth. I do not have to get the credit. I do not have to have people worship me and bow down and call out the name Saint Germain. That is not the concern of an ascended master whatsoever.

This ties in with Jesus’s teaching about overcoming the focus on self because Christhood is seeking to raise the whole in whatever way it can be done, not seeking to force the whole to be raised in a specific religion or organization.  For many of you, this will be a relief because you have attempted to speak out about ascended masters amid rejection or ignoring you. It will be a relief that you can free yourself from this and just talk in general terms about how to help people. 

For a few of you, it will be part of your Divine plan to talk about us and our teachings, but still you need to attain that neutral state of mind first. You are just sharing yourself and your process, not seeking to convert others. And for some of you, it will be in your Divine plan to speak out about technology and the limitations of technology and simply advance the idea that technology will not solve the problems that are created from human psychology, only a resolution of human psychology will help humanity rise above those problems.

And you can even talk about the resolution of psychology in terms of overcoming selfishness, self-centeredness, the willingness to do whatever you want regardless of the consequences for others. And you can talk about this in terms of democracy, because how can a democracy function if a country is run by people who are completely selfish and self-centered, who are in the criminal mindset or the mindset of the power elite? 

A democracy can only function when a critical mass of people have started to overcome the worst selfishness. But for a democracy to reach the highest potential, a greater and greater number of people need to rise towards the highest human potential, which is to be unselfish, to be willing to work for raising the whole.

A higher vision for democracy

That is the higher vision for democracies. And some of you will be able to help spread that vision, that the next step for democracies is to help people resolve psychology and rise to higher levels of awareness, higher levels of consciousness that are beyond the self-centeredness and the self-focus.

Because this is the foundation for democracy. As we have said, you must be able to lock into something beyond your self-interest. And that can only happen through the resolution of psychology and the unfoldment of a higher potential than what you see in those who are trapped in the law of the jungle and might is right. In a democracy, might is not right. Why are there people who believe might is right? Because they are completely selfish and self-centered, and they have no empathy for others.

And what you can advance, what you can hold the vision for, is a growing awareness that selfishness is not natural. It is not normal. It is common, but it is not normal for a human being. That the norm, the natural state, is to be connected to something beyond yourself that gives you a sense of connection with your source and connection with your fellow human beings. Vertical and horizontal connection that takes you beyond selfishness because you experience that if you harm others, you harm yourself. That is the natural state.

And anything less than that is unnatural, abnormal psychology. And it can be overcome. And a democratic society that wants to rise to a higher level must make an effort to help its citizens overcome that abnormal, unnatural psychology and manifest the normal state of being connected to something beyond your own mind, which then allows you to connect to other human beings and see them as equals, as part of the whole.

Because only then can you have the kind of interactions, the kind of connections, the kind of dialogues that will make a democracy function. There is a reason why democracy is a recent occurrence in the history of humankind. Because the majority of people were not ready for it. Still many are not ready for it. But more and more people are becoming ready precisely by resolving psychology, rising to the higher potential, where you just know, you experience that if you harm others, you harm yourself.

And this could be said to be at least the high point in the development of human intelligence. Because it is not really intelligent to harm yourself, is it? But the reality, as Jesus explained with the karmic law, is that if you harm others, you are harming yourself. Not realizing this fundamental reality of life on earth is really not very intelligent.

Natural vs. artificial intelligence

What could also emerge here as a result of the whole artificial intelligence development is that a distinction is made between artificial intelligence and natural intelligence. This of course requires that a critical mass of people demonstrate the higher human potential. Because when you look at most people on earth today, you can see that they do not have a natural intelligence. They have a lower intelligence, a self-focused intelligence. 

But when more and more people begin to stand forward and demonstrate a higher form of intelligence, there can emerge this realization that there is a natural form of intelligence that only human beings can acquire, and that all people have the potential to acquire, and that it is far beyond artificial intelligence.

Now some will say: “Well, but you are saying that we cannot at the present level program something into AI that we have not achieved ourselves. Does that mean that when we raise our potential, unfold our full human potential, we can create better AI than we can create today?”

Well, yes, you can, of course, create better AI when you raise your awareness but there also comes a point where you realize, you experience, that AI has the limitations that I have described here. It can never mimic higher awareness, and therefore, AI is a tool. It is a useful tool, or at least it can be developed into a useful tool. But it will never solve humankind’s problems. And it can very easily become a tool for the power elite exerting control over the population. 

When you go in on one of these chatbots and ask it a question, do you really think it gives you a completely neutral and objective answer? No. It gives you an answer based on its programming, and that programming was created by human beings who were not in a neutral and objective state of mind. You already see this, most people have not realized it, but you already see this development, but you will see it more in the coming years, that states, organizations, corporations will attempt to create AI that is biased in a certain direction so that the people who use it will get the answers that make them accept what the people who own the AI want them to accept.

It is already beginning, it will be accelerated greatly over the coming years, and what will happen is the same that has happened with the internet, that it will become less and less trustworthy, and therefore, less and less useful. People will begin to awaken, become very critical of AI, become very suspicious of whether they can trust the answers they are getting, and after some initial euphoria, people will begin to realize that there is no substitute for raising your awareness and acquiring discernment, otherwise you will be fooled. 

And this means that there will come a backlash against the elite that can help expose the elite, not the only thing, but certainly can be a factor.

With this I have given you my two cents worth, as they like to say in America, even though you cannot really do much with two cents these days, can you? Perhaps it should be updated a little bit. 

Nevertheless, as my last thing, I want to thank you, those of you who have participated in this event. We have before said that we have a certain vision before an event of what we can accomplish, and you have largely accomplished what we hope to accomplish, but you have not in this case exceeded our expectations, because not enough people from the United States have been part of the event.

We would have liked to see more Americans join the webinar, because you are there physically, and therefore, your auras and chakras can link directly to the collective consciousness in America. This is not to diminish the effort of those of you who have participated, but just that we could have accomplished more if more people from the United States had decided to participate.

Nevertheless, my warmest gratitude to those of you who are here, who have participated, both from the U.S. and other parts of the world, and therefore, I want to express the joy that those of us who have spoken here have felt by interacting with you and co-creating with you the waves that have been sent into the collective consciousness, where they are spreading like rings in the water, already starting to have an effect.

With this, I seal you, I seal this event, in the joyous flame of freedom that I AM for planet Earth. Saint Germain, I AM.

Back to Will There Be Another 250 Years?

Listen to the recording of the conference.

Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels, July 5, 2026. This dictation was given at the 2026 American Webinar: Will There Be Another 250 Years?

I AM the Ascended Master Saint Germain. Let me begin by building on what Liberty said earlier about the desire to have a monopoly. 

The privilege of the few

Many people look at the history of the world and they say that capitalism is a product of the industrial age, but that really is not the case. When you look at the feudal societies of Europe, medieval Europe, what were the feudal lords? They were monopoly capitalists. They had a monopoly on land, and land was the primary resource for producing wealth at the time. What did they also have? They had a very privileged position that could not be threatened by those below them. The king had given them, granted them the land that they owned. They even owned the people living on the land, and they, just by the fact that they owned the land, they reaped the fruits of the people’s labor. This was privilege, and this is what a certain group of fallen beings want more than anything else. 

If you again look at the Constitution, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, what is the obligation of a democratic government? Well, it is to ensure that the population, they have liberty, that as many people as possible have as much freedom as possible. What works directly against the liberty of the broad population? It is the privilege of the few. You had a country like England with a relatively small number of feudal lords, owners of land, and they were put in place by the king, and he was the only one above them, and no one below them could threaten their position. This is privilege. 

Now, were the Founding Fathers aware of this? Most of them were not, even though a few of them were, and not in a positive way. There were at least some of them that were aware that they were in a privileged position because they owned land, they owned a farm, they had other people doing most of the labor on the farm, and even though some of them were involved with running it, they still had the ability to take off from the farm, come to Philadelphia, and spend months working out the constitution. 

They were aware that they themselves were in a privileged position, partly because they were in the right place at the right time, they had some land grants, either from the British government, or they took the land that was not owned by anyone else except Native Americans, of course, which did not really count, and so they were aware that they had a privileged position.

How can we limit privilege?

They were aware that the new people coming to the United States could not threaten their privileges, and even though they claimed to be working for a democratic government with liberty and justice for all, with equality under the law, with equal opportunity for all, did they want to risk their own privilege? Did they want to risk losing it? Did they want to share it with someone else? No, of course not. Therefore, my point is, that they were not really aware of the need to create a constitution that protects the general population from the creation of privileged positions sanctioned and upheld by the government. This they could not really grasp, they could not really see the need for it, because they thought again: “Oh, but we will not allow something like the feudal lords of Europe to ever exist in the United States, and therefore, we do not need to write that into the constitution, because maybe it could be used against us and our privileged positions on our gentleman farms”, run by slaves in most cases.

It was not written into the constitution, and of course, it would have been practically impossible to get it into the constitution at the time, because the big landowners in the southern states that were dependent on slaves would have refused to ratify a constitution that limited their privileged positions. 

There is, of course, also a difficult question to deal with which is, how can you limit privilege? Well, you can, of course, limit the privilege that is sanctioned by the government. This at least should be fairly straightforward, where you, for example, can see that some of the monopoly capitalists in the late 1800s and early 1900s attempted to create government sanctioned privileges that meant that no one below them could come up and threaten their positions. 

One example of this is the Federal Reserve System, but these federal banks hold a special position with a special control over the economy through interest rates and other means that there is no competition there. Nobody can rise up and say, we want to be a Federal Reserve Bank because we are bigger than that other bank. This is just one example. There are many others through environmental regulation, for example, where certain companies have the right to log certain federal forests, mine resources. Certain companies are the only ones who are big enough to fulfill anti-pollution laws, so smaller independent companies cannot compete with them. Therefore, many small independent businesses have been forced to go out of business because of environmental protection legislation, which I am not saying could easily be avoided, but nevertheless, it is just one example of how the government in the United States right now has sanctioned many, many positions that are essentially privileged positions. 

The privileged position of the monopoly capitalists

You look forward to the present age. Again, you have many financial institutions that are effectively in a privileged position because they are protected by the government. You have many, many tech companies who are essentially in a monopoly position. Google, for example, with search engines, Microsoft with Windows, and now the AI companies are seeking to get that kind of a privileged position where you simply have companies that have invested so much that no one else could invest as much that they could come up and threaten their position. In Europe, in the EU, they are actively talking about how to prevent companies from becoming so big that they gain a monopoly position. They are actually working on legislation to restrict American tech companies and their influence in Europe. But the American government, are they seeking to restrict Google? Are they seeking to say that there should be more competition? Well, not really as much as they could be doing. 

What you see is that from the 1800s, late 1800s, you saw a class of monopoly capitalists, big industrialists and financiers who wanted a privileged position in society. They realized that the only way to get a privileged position was to get it sanctioned by the government, to become so big that they could manipulate the government into giving them a privileged position that could not be threatened by anyone.

Who were these financiers? Well, many of them were the reincarnated noble lords of Europe who had reincarnated in America, and they were often the ones who were not the oldest son who inherited the land and therefore, did not have the privilege they wanted. Now they saw an opportunity by incarnating in America that they could try to get a privileged position without being born into it. Of course, you now have these older families and dynasties where the following generations were born into a privileged position. Even in the United States, you now have these privileged positions that are inherited. This was what the Founding Fathers attempted to avoid or wanted to avoid because they did not want to duplicate the feudal system in America. 

The Constitution has not been successful in preventing this because it was not written in there that it is the government’s responsibility to secure the liberty of the people by preventing monopolies and government-sanctioned privileged positions, even by preventing companies from becoming so big that they can destroy the competition, actively destroy the competition, and therefore, reach a privileged position that is not to the advantage of the population and actually also, in many cases, holds the economy at a lower level than it could be. 

Government debt and the elite 

When you really begin to wrestle with this problem, you see that there comes a point in the world today where a democratic government must step back and look at the fact that some companies have become so big, whether they are American companies or international corporations, they have become so big that they have far too much power because of the money they control. They can threaten democracy, threaten democratic governments, they can gain privileges that they are not entitled to in a democracy. How can the democratic world, not just America, but the democratic world, deal with this? There are companies today who are making billions of dollars but hardly paying any taxes because they are not headquartered in the United States, or in another country but in tax havens, or they find other ways to cheat, so they do not pay a fair share of taxes. 

If you look at the American economy, the government budget today, you can ask yourself very simply—why is the American government, the richest country in the world by its own admission, why is this government in debt? Why does it have such a huge debt that the interest rate payments alone are so big? How did this happen? Well, how did it happen? Very simple. The American government is spending more than it is taking in. How is the government primarily taking in money? Oh yes, through taxes. Where do taxes come from? Well, the people who are making money are paying taxes, part of that money, to the government in exchange for public services. Now the question is, who was it that did not pay enough taxes so that the American government had to go into debt? Was it the ordinary citizens, the average people who are working a job, paying income tax? Nay, it was the elite who own companies, who can move their money to tax havens, who can afford expensive lawyers and accountants to avoid paying taxes. The government debt today is there because the top 10% did not pay the taxes they should have paid in a just taxation system. 

Who owns the debt of the American government? Well, some ordinary citizens have bonds, but a majority of the bonds are owned by the elite. You could say that this is the greatest investment scheme of all. The elite has taken the money that they did not pay in taxes, bought government debt, and now they are reaping the interest of that debt. Who is paying that interest? Oh, yes, the ordinary citizens who are paying their fair share of taxes. 

I am sorry, who thought this was a good idea? It probably was not the people, I am guessing. It probably was not really the government. That leaves who? Well, the elite, of course. How did they get away with this? Well, partly because they have a hidden interference on the government. They have bought this interference through lobbying, campaign contributions, and the ideology of neoliberalism, and even older, the whole myth of America being the greatest capitalist society, and that America has a free enterprise economy, but it is free competition, and therefore, it is only fair that those who are better at competition make unlimited amounts of money.

Raising the economy through taxation

But as I have tried to point out here, America does not have free competition because the government of America has not taken up its responsibility to maintain free competition and prevent companies from getting privileged positions and virtual monopolies, or even actual monopolies. Therefore, America does not have a just economic system that gives liberty and justice and opportunity to all Americans. More than that, the elite has managed to sell the American dream to the American people, at least to a large part of the American people. There are, of course, many Americans who can see that they will never be part of the American dream, who do not buy into it, but there are many Americans who do, and they believe in the lie that governments should not interfere with the free market, that the governments should stay out of business, out of the economy, have as little regulation and taxation as possible. Why? Because they hope that one day they will be part of the elite.

Of course, the elite allows some people to come up from nothing, become millionaires and billionaires, in order to maintain the illusion that all people could live the American dream, but of course, all people could not. It does not matter how hard people would work and how much ingenuity they have, there is only a limited number of people that can rise from the bottom to the top, and only what is allowed to maintain that illusion. One of the aspects of this illusion that the government is the problem, the government should stay out of business, is that the government should collect as little taxes as possible from especially, American businesses and the elite. 

There is this attitude that has been spread among many, especially business people in America, that the less taxes you can get away with paying, the better. Again, as Liberty explained, what actually happens? It is the same mentality that you think the only way you can make money is to pay your employees as little as possible. The only way you can really make money is to pay as little taxes as possible. What if all people, all businesses, had paid more taxes for the last 50 years? What if the government was not in debt at all because it could balance the budget? Well, if the amount of money that makes up the debt had come in by a higher income from taxes, what would the government have done with it? 

They would have invested in public services. Yes, of course, there is government waste. Yes, of course, there is inefficiency. Nevertheless, what I am pointing out here is, the more money you pay in taxes, the higher the level of public services, this actually raises the level of the entire economy, partly because some people get jobs, and all of society will do better. Meaning, that for the mass majority of American businesses, they would make more money today if they had paid more taxes over the past decades. This is not necessarily the case for the top 2% of companies and individuals. But even for many of them, if the economy was at a higher level, they too would make more money.

Artificial vs. real investment

Again, if you really think about this problem, you reach the conclusion at some point that if a democratic government is to fulfill its mandate from the people to secure the greatest liberty for all, the government must limit how big a company or an individual can become, how much money they can make, how much power they have in society through that money. They must simply limit it. It can be done in various ways, and I know very well that if most Americans were to ever hear this, they would scream: “Communism, socialism”, and I would answer: “No, a responsible government, a responsible democratic government that does what is best for the people.” 

As Liberty said, it is not best for the people that the economy is held at a lower level because wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small elite that cannot spend it. What does the elite do with the money they cannot spend on consumption? Well, they invest it. How do they invest it? Again, there are two ways to invest. Originally, really only one, and that was to invest in something that provides products or services. In other words, you created a business, you made money, you have money left over, you either invest in your own business or another type of business, create a new business. You are adding to the economy, the natural economy. But the other way to invest is to invest in ways to make money off of money. This goes back to banking, lending money for interest, but it has morphed into such a variety of financial instruments that hardly anybody can see what is actually happening in that jungle. 

What is investment in financial instruments versus investments in businesses that produce something of value? What is this artificial investment? It is the quest for privilege. It is the quest to be like the feudal lords who could sit there in their castles, eat, drink and be merry without doing any work. It is also an attempt to accumulate so much wealth that you can feel that you could never lose it. You do not want to work and you want to be in a position that no one can threaten. You want to have that absolute security. Again, it is necessary to see there is an elite of people who have used democratic freedoms to manipulate the system, manipulate the economy for the sole purpose of setting themselves up in privileged positions, just like the feudal lords of the Middle Ages. 

A threat to the economy

It is necessary to acknowledge that this is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned. This is not what democracy is all about, and more than just that, it is actually a threat to the long-term survivability of the economy because as Liberty explained, privilege creates a closed system, and a closed system will self-destruct. Why has not the privileged system in the United States self-destructed decades ago? Because they have exploited the working people by funneling wealth upwards towards themselves. The decrease in the living standard of the broad population has financed the survival of the elite in their privileged positions. The cost of this is that the entire economy has descended to a lower level than it otherwise would have been, and this threatens the survivability of the economy.

The entire system can collapse, just as you have seen in 1929, 2008, and many other cases where it has been very close, and this means what? It means that the elite’s very attempt to secure a privileged position that cannot be threatened, this attempt, is the biggest threat to their privilege. 

People taking on karma of fallen beings 

Once you see it, you see it is perfectly logical. And this gives rise to the question that most people will ask: “Why are they doing this? Why can they not see it?” And you will never be able to find an explanation unless, as we have said, you understand what fallen beings are and you realize they cannot see it, because they are in complete denial about the consequences of their own actions. Because beyond securing a privileged position, they are trying to avoid their karma, the consequences of their actions, and they have been attempting to do this ever since they fell, however long ago that was. And some of them have achieved some ability to do this. And how do they do it? By getting people to take on part responsibility for their actions, so that the people carry some of the karma that really was only created because of one leader and his insatiable quest for power or privilege. 

You take Adolf Hitler. Surely, you can look at Germany and say there were already tendencies in German society that Hitler did not create, he simply took advantage of them. Nevertheless, a person like Hitler could have taken power in Germany and had a certain success in transforming German society without necessarily creating the Second World War and certainly without creating the Holocaust. In other words, Hitler’s takeover did not make the Second World War and Holocaust inevitable. A person in his position could have taken Germany in different directions. Why did Hitler take it in that direction? Because of his psychology. My point is that Hitler is, to a very large degree, responsible for the Second World War and the Holocaust. It was his karma, but because he got so many people to believe in the Nazi ideology and to support him with this blind fanaticism, this state of denial, after the war, when Germany lost the war and the Holocaust was exposed, they felt responsible for having supported this. And this means, they took on part of that karmic burden that really should have been Hitler’s to bear individually. 

You see the exact same dynamic in the United States right now, where these most—what should we say—blind, fanatical Trump supporters are taking on part of the karma that really should be his, because some of his actions, including the war in Iran, are a result of his individual psychology. But because he has managed to hypnotize so many people into going into this state of denial, where they will not see that he could ever make a mistake, they are taking on part of the karma. They are therefore, keeping him alive longer than his karma would normally allow. 

The same as we explained with Putin in Russia, where the people who believe in Putin or who are afraid of what will happen to Russia when he is no longer there, they are taking on part of his karma which allows him to stay in embodiment instead of, as we have said, he has exceeded his natural lifespan, going out of embodiment years ago. You see here, this is a mechanism that I am simply pointing out as an explanation for why there is this group of beings who cannot see the consequences of their actions. They think, literally, they can get away with anything. 

Look at Trump, who routinely lies and exaggerates, who routinely contradicts himself, but he feels he can say whatever he wants and get away with it because he has gotten away with it, and he has avoided consequences. You may know a little bit about Trump and lawsuits and this and that, but there is so much more that Trump has done that has never been discovered, that he has never been held accountable for, and therefore, in his mind, he thinks he can get away with almost anything. 

The reason why it is important to recognize these beings is, you cannot ask the logical question: “Why are they doing what actually harms themselves?” Because they are in complete denial that their actions could come back and hit them like a boomerang. They are in complete denial about this and only in extreme situations can such a being snap out of this self-hypnosis and acknowledge that: “Oh, my actions did have consequences, and I cannot talk my way out of it.” Only in extreme cases has this happened. In far more cases, it has not happened and these beings have gone to their second death. 

People unfit to lead in a democracy

Again, I am not expecting that modern democracies will begin to talk about fallen beings, but they do not have to. I am using that terminology with you who are familiar with it. All they need to recognize is, that there are certain people and have been a certain class of people throughout history who are blindly pursuing self-interest and who cannot see the consequences it has for society, for the population and even for themselves and therefore, the only way that a democracy can avoid being manipulated by these people is to be aware of their existence and take measures to prevent them from gaining, attaining positions of power and privilege. And this, of course, goes to becoming much more aware of how a relatively small number of these kinds of people have become leaders throughout history and have created some of the worst problems, crises, atrocities that you see in history, and therefore, a democratic nation must define demands, criteria, for who is suitable to become a leader and who is not. 

You must create a psychological profile, call it narcissist, psychopath, whatever you want to call it, but you must create a psychological profile for people who are unfit to be leaders in democratic countries. And you must create a mechanism for preventing such people from even running for office. This is an absolute necessity, and it is being proven right now by Trump, by Putin, by Netanyahu. It will be proven at some point by Xi Jinping, the ayatollahs of Iran, and other leaders. Even many of the smaller leaders in Africa are proving this point. The world is simply at a point where this recognition is a must, and it is very close to breaking through. It must happen in the next 12 years, or there will be such disasters created by these leaders that you cannot even imagine it today.

My point is not to paint a doomsday scenario. My point is to paint a realistic scenario, that again this is so close to breaking through, where a critical mass of people in America and elsewhere will see this and see that a democratic nation must prevent a certain type of person from attaining a leadership position. The Founding Fathers, as we have said, were very concerned about demagogues who would say whatever they needed to say in order to seduce the public and get elected in a democracy, and then would use their position to undermine democracy. You have seen it before with Hitler, with Putin, now with Trump, Netanyahu, and others and it is simply a necessary step for the democratic world to come to this recognition. 

American exceptionalism

The next thing I want to go into here is why the American people have not done this before? Why have the American people not learned the lesson that many people in Europe learned from Hitler? And this ties in with a common expression that many American commentators are using—American exceptionalism. America is somehow different. America is a unique nation. It is the greatest nation on earth, and America has a unique destiny to be the bulwark for freedom and democracy. Well, if it is America’s destiny to defend democracy around the world by overthrowing dictators, why do you not do the same at home? Why are you not defending your own democracy from a demagogue as the Founding Fathers wanted to do? Why have you not seen that there really is nothing to prevent the rise of a demagogue in America except the people’s vigilance and awareness? And why do you not have that vigilance? Because the American people have a certain optimism that nothing could go really bad—we will make it, we will muddle through, somehow, it will be all right in the end. 

Why do Americans have this optimism? Well, because America has muddled through. It survived the Revolutionary War. It survived other wars. It survived the Civil War. It survived the First World War, the Second World War, the crash of ‘29. “Somehow, we always make it in the end.” This is, of course, fed by Hollywood fantasies about superheroes, a relatively unique American phenomenon, that things get very, very bad, but in the end one superhero arises and saves the day. And you can look at American history and say: “But America has survived. We made it. We made it through. It has been close sometimes, but we made it through.” 

Saint Germain’s sponsorship of America 

Well, yes. Why did you make it through? Was it because America is so special? Or was it because the Ascended Master Saint Germain has given a certain sponsorship to America since 1776? And it is this sponsorship and this sponsorship alone that has caused you to muddle through. And what if this sponsorship is not a given? Because the condition of this sponsorship, which even many students in previous ascended master dispensations did not acknowledge, the conditions for this sponsorship is the law described by Jesus in his parable about the talents. Only when you multiply the talents do you get more. Only when America multiplies the talents of my sponsorship can I continue or increase that sponsorship. If you do not multiply it, I must withhold sponsorship, and that means that a disaster now becomes a distinct possibility because the safety net is not there. I cannot pick you up when you fall if you are not multiplying what I have given previously.

If you know anything about ascended master history, you will know that in previous dispensations it was said that after I ascended, I was granted a dispensation to take on, manifest a physical body, and appear in Europe where I attempted to work with the kings and queens of Europe in an attempt to create the United States of Europe. One of the reasons for this was to set up such a strong state in Europe that it could deter Russian aggression and expansion, because it was clear that the collective psychology of Russia meant that there was a desire to be the greatest nation on earth among many Russians in the collective psyche of Russia, and that this would attract leaders that would attempt to carry this out. And that this could become a threat, even prophesied by Nostradamus, that Russia could export its evils to the world. And this was, as you can clearly see with the rise of the Soviet Union, a real threat. 

I could not create the United States of Europe, so instead I sponsored the early Founding Fathers of America, and this led to the creation of the United States, which was the one factor that prevented Russian imperialism from attempting to take over Europe and creating a state of perpetual war, perpetual hot war, instead of the cold war. You can see this in history. You can see that had it not been for the United States, the victory over Nazi Germany, and America drawing a line in the sand, saying to Russia: “You will not expand further west than the Iron Curtain,” then there is no telling where Russia would have gone in their relentless pursuit of world domination. Their goal was what? A communist takeover of the entire world. You cannot deny this if you look at history. That means what? That means that after the Second World War was over, the rule-based world order that emerged with the United States and democratic countries in Europe was indeed in accordance with my vision and my sponsorship. 

It was and it is my firm vision that America must be a guarantor against Russian imperialism and expansion in Europe and even elsewhere. This is my vision for America. This is an absolute condition for my sponsorship. Now ask yourself: “With what Donald Trump has done in the first year of his presidency, do you think that the Trump administration is living up to the conditions for my sponsorship?” If you say yes, you are in complete denial about history. If you refuse to acknowledge this, you are still in denial. 

Raising doubt about America’s commitment to NATO, negotiating with Putin as if: “Oh, he is a good guy, we can deal with him, we can make a deal,” is a direct violation of my sponsorship of America. I must withdraw certain sponsorship and that makes America vulnerable in many different ways, including economically. It is simply the reality. This is not a matter of any human opinion. It is not a matter of the messenger’s opinion. It is not a matter of your opinion. It is simply the cosmic, spiritual, karmic reality. Call it what you will. 

Nothing has threatened my sponsorship of America more than this entire circus of casting doubt upon America’s commitment to NATO and to defending democracy. Nothing. A close second is the attempt to concentrate power in the presidency that is completely against the intention of the Founding Fathers and the wording of the constitution. But this is simply causing me, has caused me, to reduce my sponsorship of America and that is the greatest threat to the survival of America right now, to the prosperity of America, to the relative peace of America. Nothing is a greater threat. You think you can do without my sponsorship and muddle through. I tell you, you are mistaken. I am not saying I have completely stopped sponsoring America. I am saying I have reduced my sponsorship. If I have to reduce it even further, we can come to a point where I must withdraw it. And I can assure you, you will not be better off without it. 

I know this is not the kind of message most people want to hear on the 4th of July, now 5th, and on the celebration of 250 years. But I am telling you this, in terms of my sponsorship, this is the lowest point of my sponsorship in the last 250 years. Do I want to withdraw my sponsorship? Of course not. I want to increase my sponsorship and see America do better and become one of the forerunners for manifesting the golden age. But as I have said before, that requires some sincere changes, and certainly, it requires you to stop looking backwards and wanting to cling to traditional values that simply cannot take America into the golden age.

I recognize that I have given you, not what you can handle as ascended master students, but what the American psyche, the American collective consciousness can handle at this point. Because as this message has been released from me through you, it has created ripple effects in the collective consciousness, and I see that it has reached a level now where even the more advanced people cannot handle anymore. They simply cannot deal with the light that is being released. Therefore, I will seal this release, but I will extend to you, who have been part of it, my gratitude. For you have given me a greater service than any other group of people have given me in the last 250 years, at least in America. For this, you have my gratitude. 

You may not feel particularly optimistic about this right now, but the reality is, that me saying this in the physical is really the only chance that we can turn this around and therefore, the fact that it has been said in the physical is cause for optimism that it will have an effect and get those people who have been reluctant to do what is their constitutional mandate, off the fence so they can say: “This has gone far enough. We cannot allow anyone to cast doubt upon America’s commitment to NATO, to democracy within, and democracy without.” 

With this I seal you in the flame of freedom, of joyous freedom that I AM. Perhaps you have not felt so much joy through this release, but sometimes we need to simply speak reality, or as the saying goes: “Speak truth to power.” Saint Germain, I AM.

Back to Will There Be Another 250 Years?

Listen to the recording of the conference.

Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels, July 4, 2026. This dictation was given at the 2026 American Webinar: Will There Be Another 250 Years?

I AM the Ascended Master Saint Germain. Will the United States of America survive for another 250 years? Well, I certainly hope not in its present form. What other forms might there be that I envision could happen?

 Rethinking the Constitution

Well, let us first go back and look at the Constitution, how it was created by the original 13 colonies. You realize why there were 13 colonies and not 13 states? Because they were created by the British Empire. Their boundaries were in large part defined by the British Empire, often by British officials sitting in England, having never been to America, not knowing the territory, not knowing the geography, and therefore, artificially drawing lines on a map that was not that accurate to begin with.

Then there were many other considerations, land charters, geographical limitations, and all kinds of boundary disputes over the years. What we can ask ourselves is: “Does it really give any meaning that 250 years later, the United States, which is now comprised of 50 states, still has a Constitution that was created based on the particular conditions found in those 13 colonies?” The distribution between small states and big states, Southern states with slavery, Northern states that were to some degree against slavery, small states, Western states, all kinds of differences, individualities that played into this mix that dictated the different compromises embedded in the Constitution.

You look at the United States today, so many more states, so many different states. But first of all, so many more people. Could the Founding Fathers ever have imagined that the United States would become so large geographically and have such an enormous population? Well, they could not really have imagined it, but I can assure you about one thing. If they had been able to see what the United States is today, they would all have said: “Well, there is absolutely no question that the Constitution needs to be rethought. Because there is no way that our Constitution, created based on these specific conditions, can be sufficient for such a large nation with such a big population.”

They would have all seen the unfeasibility of maintaining the Constitution for so long. They thought that the Constitution was the best they could come up with. They realized it was a compromise, many of them, and they instituted the process of amendment, because they knew it would have to be changed. But they also, many of them, envisioned that at some point, you would have to have an entire rethinking of the Constitutional framework.

Rethinking the states

The question is now, as I said, when will that happen? How could it ever happen? But before this can even really be contemplated, there is a need to rethink states. As I said, completely arbitrary boundaries were drawn between the original colonies, creating some of these very small states. Then, you look further, as more states were added, many of these Western states, a line was simply drawn on a map, a straight line, creating these very large states with a very small population. But then, look at, over these 250 years, what has happened to the consciousness of the people in the states. It is called the United States of America.

You realize that the Founding Fathers had a debate about what should be the official title of the president. Some suggested some high-flying, high-sounding titles, but they settled on the most simple, President of the United States. Has there, over these 250 years, emerged a national nationwide consciousness? Well, yes, there has, but not as much as there could have if the states had not been so insistent on maintaining their identity and their place in the government. Many of these smaller states, so many of the bigger but less populated states, insist on maintaining the Senate so they can have the same number of senators as much larger states or more populated states. And this has to a large degree meant that even though many among the people see themselves as Americans first and New Yorkers or Texans second, perhaps not so many people in Texas or in New York City, but still the states have not softened up their, we might say, national identity.

Regions instead of states?

The question is: “Will there ever come a point where someone is willing to step back and say: “Why are we maintaining these states? Why don’t we take a look at the map, look at the geography, and ask ourselves whether it really makes sense to maintain all the present states? Or whether we should define some criteria whereby we could redraw the map and perhaps simplify the map?” You could say some of the smaller states could disappear, but you could also think, as I have said before, in terms of regions. I have said about Europe that there comes a point where you have to acknowledge that perhaps the nation state as a concept has outlived its usefulness, and it makes more sense to create regions based on various geographical features. This could be done in the United States.

Have the states outlived their usefulness? Would it make more sense to create certain regions? This, of course, would require a rethinking of the Constitution. It would require the election of the president by popular vote, among other things. But look at the map today. Take a map that does not just show the states, but actually shows population, and then see whether it makes sense that there are these huge areas with a very low population. Or whether the map could be redrawn so that there were regions that are similar geographically, but have a larger population.

And you could also look at economic factors. What are the largest economies, the economic centers? And then, place one or perhaps a couple of those in certain regions so that there are not these very poor states in the south that you see today that can barely pay their debts, barely pay wages to public employees, and barely maintain public services. Does it really make sense that you have these very poor states that could do better if they were merged, but insist on maintaining their national identity?

A new anti-elitist constitution

What I am advocating here, and what I envision happening as we move into the Golden Age, is that there will come a point where there will be people who are willing to say: “Let us step back. Let us look at a practical perspective of where the country is at, where it might be headed, and see if we could not strengthen the United States by redrawing the map of the states, by rethinking an entirely new Constitution that meets the demands of the present day.” Now, I am not here talking about looking at the present Constitution, updating the language, adding a few things here and a few things there. I am talking about a radical reimagining of the Constitution. Naturally, I have such ideas already in place. I would be willing to communicate them to anyone who was sincere about doing this, as I have to some degree started doing with a few people who are open to these ideas.

I do not intend to dictate a new Constitution through this messenger or any other messenger, because I want it to be brought forth through an organic process like the first Constitution, but of course at a higher level. But the one thing that would be most important to write into the Constitution was what I talked about previously, the awareness that there has always been an elite who is trying to exploit the people. And that the primary function of the American government is to prevent the people from being exploited by one or several elites. This is the primary responsibility of any democratic government, and it should be the primary responsibility of the American government. Again, I am not talking about some far-flung thing that could happen way out in the future.

There are already many, many people in the U.S. who are ready to make that shift and suddenly see this, where elitism comes into focus. Elitism is brought out of the shadows, where the elites can no longer hide from the people, hide in plain sight, so to speak. And a critical mass of people suddenly shift and say: “Oh, this is obvious. This is the real problem in America—the elite exploiting the people, exploiting the laws, exploiting the environment, exploiting natural resources. Exploiting the Constitution which was written by elites, or at least people with a certain elitist mindset.” There can happen this shift where people suddenly say: “But we see that the Founding Fathers had some vision of a higher form of government that did not exploit the people, but gave everyone equal rights and equal opportunity. Why don’t we have that form of government in America? Surely it is because of the elite. Why don’t we create a Constitution that is directly aimed at preventing the elite from exploiting the population?”

What needs to change?

This would require, of course, that you stop gerrymandering. That you stop paying contributions. That you stop lobbying. That you in all ways got money out of politics. That you prevented people who are part of the elite from using their position or their money to get themselves elected, and therefore, undermine democracy through special interests. If you look back at the Founding Fathers, you will see that one of their concerns was to create a government that could not be dominated by an elite, like the British monarchy and a British noble class. They were very concerned about limiting the powers of the president so that the presidency would not attract a demagogue, as they saw it.

In other words, they realized full well that a person could make use of the democratic system by telling people exactly what they wanted to hear, especially if they were people who were dissatisfied with their lot in society. This person could tell them what they want to hear, promise to do something about this, and then, once he was elected to office, he could use the power of the presidency to pursue special interests, both his own and those of a small group of people who were backing him. This was one of their main concerns—to prevent a concentration around the presidency that could allow a demagogue to undermine democracy after being democratically elected. This is something that could be written much more clearly into the Constitution.

And of course, you can say that if the Founding Fathers could see the current president, they would be rotating in their graves. And say: “This is exactly what we attempted to prevent by creating the legislative, the judicial and the executive branch, limiting and balancing each other.” And they would say: “How can it be possible that the legislative and judicial branches are not limiting the president as we envisioned when we wrote the Constitution?” This would be the reaction of most of the Founding Fathers. They would be shocked to see that a president of the United States could make a billion dollars in one year in office, and even be proud of it. George Washington would have looked at this and been so shocked and so appalled that he probably would have refused to be president of a republic that could deteriorate to this level.

The failure to limit presidential power

Again, a complete rethinking based on realizing one thing. There has always been power elites in any society who have attempted to use whatever system of government was there to exploit the people. Therefore, one of the primary rights, one of the inalienable rights, is freedom from exploitation. We can even be specific and say freedom from exploitation of an elite who has special power and privileges over you. Many of the Founding Fathers saw that this was what the British monarchy represented, an elite that has power over the people and exploits the people. Because, of course, England saw the colonies as just a way to bring wealth back to England, as they did with all their other colonies. The people in the colonies were being exploited by the crown and they had no say. “No taxation without representation,” as the byword was.

And this was the last thing they wanted to see happen in America. But they did not write it more clearly into the Constitution. And why not? Because they could not really imagine that it would happen here. They thought they had done enough by dividing the power into the three branches and that this would balance it. Clearly, you see in the present situation that the Constitution has failed. It has failed to limit the power of the president. Because you have a president who has taken advantage of the democratic freedoms in a way that no other president has so far done. And therefore, it is necessary to be much more specific in the Constitution to limit the power of the president.

Black-and-white party system

Now, this would, of course, be much easier if the entire system was changed to a parliamentary system. Whereas, in many other of the modern democracies, there is a parliament that has the main power. And there is a prime minister who has limited powers and must always have a majority in parliament before being able to do something. And this is another change that could be considered. Again, there were reasons for creating the system the way it is. But are those reasons as relevant today as they were in 1787? Again, a need to rethink.

Now, there could also be a need, as I said, to rethink the two-party system, even political parties. Let me ask you a simple question here. Does the law of gravity work differently in blue states than in red states? Does the economic principles work differently? Well, obviously no. But if you look at the rhetoric of the two parties today, especially one of them, you would think that at least the economy and many other aspects of society work completely differently in blue states than in red states. And the difference is black and white, and it is epic. This, the Founding Fathers could not have envisioned because they spent a couple of months together in an uncomfortable hot room, noisy room, and even though they clearly saw their differences of opinion, they were able to pull together and create a Constitution. And they expected that this would always be the case, that the government, all branches of government, would be willing to set aside special interests for the greater good of the nation and the people.

This clearly has not been the case for a long time with the division between the Republican and Democratic parties. It has become a lot worse since the 1990s where Newt Gingrich and other Republicans deliberately reframed the Republican Party to become black and white, confrontational and present the situation in America in an epic framework. And this, of course, is a situation again that I fully realize will prevent any amendment to the Constitution, as it, by the way, has been a very long time since the Constitution was amended. But nevertheless, there is still a need for people who are willing to suddenly wake up and say: “This has gone too far. We need to step back and change the equation. Change the parameters of the public discourse. Change the tone and get back to what could be said to be the guiding principle for the Founding Fathers.” And it is this: “The interests of the whole are greater than special interests.”

Putting the whole above elite interests

This ties in with what I talked about with the Christ consciousness, where the Christ consciousness sees that all life came from the same source, sees that all life is connected, and therefore, seeks to raise up the whole. Whereas, in the anti-christ consciousness, the fallen consciousness, you seek to raise up yourself by exploiting the whole. You are weighing your own special interests over the common good. Again, I am not saying that the Founding Fathers were free of special interests. They obviously had their special interests, and they often clashed, and that is why they had to create compromises. But the thing is, the special interests that seemed important when the Constitution was written are mostly not relevant today. Slavery has, for better or worse, been abolished, so the conflict between the slave states in the South and the other states in the North is no longer as relevant.

There is again a need for some people who will step back and say: “How can we create a Constitution and a form of government that always puts the interests of the whole above special interests?” Surely there are many special interests in America, but what needs to be seen is that there is one special interest, namely that of the elite, to either maintain their position or gain a position that is in stark contrast to the interests of the people. Because the interest of the elite is to get a special position of power, privilege and wealth. The interest of most of the people is to have a good personal life, a life without exploiting anyone. Whereas the elite is willing to exploit anyone and everyone.

And when this is seen, when this comes into focus for a critical mass of people, you can see that the elite has been using the same tactic that has been used for thousands of years by despots and rulers and emperors: divide and conquer. And the elite has been actively and aggressively attempting to inflame any difference among various groups of people, so that they could rule. Because the people were too divided to stand up to the elite and say: “No more!” Therefore, people can realize that we need to do the same that the Founding Fathers did and say: “We have to set aside special interests as much as we can and focus on what is right for we the people, what is right for the whole, what is right for the country.”

Never enough for fallen beings

And unless that step is taken, America will not survive 250 years more. Because America will, as I said before, deteriorate, become more and more polarized, more and more factions that will tear at each other. And the elite will attempt to inflame the conflict between various groups of people until they create so much chaos and turmoil that the population will agree to a stricter rule by the elite, in order to get back to stability. But if this happens, the second law of thermodynamics would cause America to slowly self-destruct from within. And it would start with various armed conflicts. But the real factor will be the economy, because the economy simply cannot be sustained when the elite is allowed to exploit the population.

The elite, when you again look at history—and this is what they again will not see themselves, even though they are students of history—but they will not see that the elite very rarely is able to stop themselves. You look at these billionaires today, who already have more money than they could possibly spend. Look at Elon Musk. If he stopped working and dedicated all of his waking hours to spending money, he could not spend the money he has for the rest of his lifetime. Why does he need more? Because he cannot stop himself. He cannot restrict himself and say: “Oh, that is enough. Now, I am just going to enjoy life.” It is never enough for fallen beings, because they are black holes. They are seeking god-like status. And they can never attain it, because they are seeking to attain it in this world. They are on an impossible quest, but can they see it? Not as long as they are in the fallen consciousness.

What could we do better?

What would it take for a fallen being to see this? It would have to admit: “I was wrong. I was fundamentally wrong.” How often in world history have you seen any leader do this? Do you see the kings of Europe admitting this? Do you see the popes of the Catholic church admitting they were completely wrong in creating the church? Do you see the Tsars of Russia admit that they were wrong in not giving more freedom to the people? Do you see Stalin admitting he was wrong by killing 21 million of his own people? Do you see Mao admit that he was wrong by killing 40+ millions of Chinese, letting them starve to death? Do you see Hitler admitting he was wrong killing the Jews and pursuing the Third Reich? Do you see Donald Trump admitting that he is wrong?

You see. What is it that brings positive change? It is that some people are willing to consider: “The way we have been doing things it is not the best possible.There must be a better way.” You do not really have to think in terms of right and wrong, but the fallen beings can do nothing else. But you can just, as the Founding Fathers themselves said, you can look at America as an experiment. What is the nature of an experiment? You are trying something. You do not know exactly what the outcome will be, but you are willing to try anyway. When you see the outcome, you evaluate: “Oh, did it work out the way we thought? Did it work out the way we want? Could we do something better?” You do not have to even think that you were wrong for experimenting, but you have to be willing to consider: “What could we do better?”

What is the current political climate in the United States? Well, nobody can admit that they were wrong about anything. Why not? Because of the epic mindset. If you are in the epic mindset and you are wrong, you are epically wrong. You are wrong in an ultimate way which means you are then absolutely no good. You are either right or no good. There is nothing in between in the epic mindset. But that is so far from the Founding Fathers’ mindset, most of them, because they saw America as an experiment, and they fully expected that adjustments would have to be made.

Again, why am I saying this? Is it some far-flung dream? No. I simply observe there is a critical mass of people in America who are very close to making the shift where they say: “We have to overcome this mindset that we can see is there in the American collective psyche, that America could never be wrong. We must never be wrong. We are the heroes. We are the good guys. We saved democracy from Hitler. We won the Cold War. We could never be really wrong.” Yes, but it is not a matter of being wrong or not. I am not interested in making America wrong. I am interested in having America admit that we can do better, but we can only do better is if we are willing to look at what we have done and consider the consequences. Is it what we want? Is it the best that could be done?

I am not interested in making America “wrong.” Neither am I interested in making America “right,” according to a dualistic standard. I am interested in making America MORE, and that is what my Golden Age is about. But you cannot become more if you are not willing to consider that you could do better than you have done so far. You must be willing to transcend yourself. You must be willing to question status quo. You must be willing to admit that you can do better, but that you can only do better if you reach for a higher awareness. You cannot do better by clinging to status quo, by clinging to traditional values, by wanting to make America great again, without considering when it was great and why it declined, as you claim it has done.

An unholy alliance

This uniquely, in the democratic world, American quality of not wanting to look at ourselves and not think we could ever be wrong, or ever need to improve, or ever need to do something differently. This is a mindset that is holding back the manifestation of the Golden Age in America. You look back in Europe and see how much they had it, going back through the Middle Ages, the kings of Europe had that mindset. But many European nations have started to overcome it, especially after the exposure of the Holocaust that made many nations in Europe say: “Could this have happened here?”

And Americans have not quite been willing to look at: “Could a demagogue arise here?” At least, many Americans have not which is why they are supporting one. But again, many people are close to being willing to make that shift. Many people are willing to see the elite and see that it is primarily the elite that does not want to reevaluate, because they want to hold on to their position. There are also people who do not want to reevaluate. And why? Because they feel inferior, and they cannot bear to admit that they could be wrong, because they again are thinking in terms of right and wrong. Many feel inferior because, as I said, and as Mother Mary said, they do not want to transcend themselves. They do not want to improve themselves so they can keep up with society.

Here comes Donald Trump and tells them: “Oh, there is nothing wrong with you. The problem is outside of you. The problem is the aliens, the deep state, the government. But if you support me, I am going to fix it. I am going to make you great, because you are supporting me.” And suddenly they accept this. And now, they feel instead of being at the bottom of society, they are at the top of society. And how could they ever let go of this without having to admit that they were wrong about Trump? And if you cannot admit this, these people can be stuck for the rest of their lifetime.

A necessary shift

But you see, they are not enough to stop the progress when enough people see the dynamic I am talking about. Do enough people see it? Well, not yet, or it would have shifted. But of course, it is getting closer and closer almost every day. Because almost every day Trump does or says something that makes another group of people say: “Ah, that is not really what I voted for.”

Again, I am using this opportunity to project into the collective consciousness. And it is a unique opportunity, because when there is a celebration of one of these milestones in the history of a nation, there is a greater willingness of the nation to look back at its history, to look at its present state, to wonder about the future. I am grateful for you allowing me to use your chakras and auras to project this into the collective consciousness, where again, hopefully more and more people will suddenly shift and see: “Oh, now I see it. That is so obvious.” You see, again, as ascended masters, we are not trying to force anything upon people. We are seeking to help them shift so they see, and see: “Oh, this is the logical, natural next step. That is what we have to do.”

This is what to some degree happened with the Founding Fathers. First, there were those who saw: “We need to fight for independence from the British, because they are not going to give it to us.” Then, there were those after the Revolutionary War was won who said: “We have to come together and create the framework for a nation or we will not have a nation after a few years. It is obvious we need to do this.” And it was obvious to them that despite the special interests, they had to compromise enough that they could create a Constitution that attempted to raise the interests of “we the people” above the interests of “we the elite.”

With this, I have given you what I want to give in this installment. Do not think I am anywhere near done. But for now, I will give you what I can see you can handle and give you a break and we will see what comes next. You do understand, I hope, that we have said many, many things about America, both through this messenger and previous messengers. There simply comes a point where the law will not allow us to keep saying things if there are not some people who have heeded what has been said. That is why we do not have so much to say at this occasion, because so much has already been said.

And only when a critical mass of people tune in to what we have said—not necessarily by reading the teachings, but by tuning in to the ideas we have released—only then can we give more. We are actually quite restricted by the Cosmic Law, the Karmic Law, on what we can give at this particular juncture of the interdependent originations of the United States and the world. But still, I am very grateful for your willingness to be part of this release, so that it can be multiplied and magnified and reach more and more people. Therefore, I seal you in the Flame of Freedom that I am. Saint Germain I AM.

Back to Will There Be Another 250 Years?

Listen to the recording of the conference.

Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels, July 4, 2026. This dictation was given at the 2026 American Webinar: Will There Be Another 250 Years?

I AM the Ascended Master Saint Germain. Let us begin at the very beginning. After the Revolutionary War, which quite frankly was a bit of a mess, the real founding of the United States was actually the Constitutional Congress in 1787. 

The Constitutional Congress in 1787

This was the pivotal moment because at that moment it was, as clearly seen by some of the Founding Fathers, uncertain whether America would survive as an independent country or whether it would fall back under the rule of the British or some other European power. Really, the gathering of these people in that hall in Philadelphia was the very founding process of the United States, which of course led to the Constitution that is still there and the original text largely unchanged, only amendments added to it so let us look at that process. 

Now, who were the people who gathered together to form this more perfect union? Well, they were certainly not the man on the street. They were certainly not what you might call working class people, farm laborers. They were the more well-to-do. How else could they take off a couple of months in the middle of summer? They obviously had other people doing the work on their farms or in their businesses so that they could afford to take off and come and sit there and have these discussions. I am in no way trying to belittle this. I am just pointing out to you that the people who gathered to formulate the Constitution saw themselves as the elite. They did not have the kind of elitist mindset that you saw in the kings and the noblemen of Europe, but they clearly saw themselves as an elite. 

The new elite 

They thought they knew better than the average person how to formulate or form a better form of government, and in many cases, they were right. They were more read. They had thought about these topics more. They understood conditions and power plays better than the average person so I am not saying they were not qualified. I am simply pointing out to you that these people saw themselves as the new elite in the United States. They saw themselves as being very different from the old elite in Europe because clearly, they were not born into wealth, they had to acquire it and work for it and clearly none of them had the aspiration of ever coming under a person like the king of England. Again, I am not trying to in any way criticize them or put them down. I am trying to give you a feel for their mindset because this has a bearing on where we are at today and what needs to happen next for America to manifest the golden age. You see that these Founding Fathers, they saw themselves as an elite. 

I am not saying they were a power elite that wanted to enslave other people, although some of them did have slaves. I am not saying they wanted to suppress the people through violence and throw them in prison and this and that. They were very concerned about having rights, the rights of the people, the freedoms, the freedom of speech, freedom of assembly. After all, they had assembled themselves and without freedom they could not have done this. And they were very concerned about creating a form of government that could not become the kind of tyranny that you saw in many of the countries of Europe at the time. In fact, most of the countries of Europe at the time, perhaps even all of the countries of Europe at the time, I should say. They clearly had ideals, but as is always the case, they had different ideas. They did not all come together with a completely coherent vision of what this new nation should be. And this is, of course, very understandable when you know what we have taught you about the duality consciousness. 

Polarizations behind the Founding Fathers 

You can say: “Were these Founding Fathers above or below the 48th level of consciousness?” Well, most of them were actually above the 48th level. None of them were at the 96th level, not even George Washington at the time but they were above the 48th, most of them but still, they had grown up in a society deeply affected by the dualistic mindset. They had, of course, had many lifetimes before in dualistic societies. They certainly had certain beliefs and ideas that were dualistic. Now when I say dualistic, I do not necessarily mean that these were evil or deliberately formulated to suppress people or force people. What I simply mean is that in the duality consciousness, any issue you look at, you can formulate two extremes and some gradations in between the extremes and there is a tendency that people will gravitate towards one extreme or the other. And then when you add the dualistic mindset to this, you have the value judgment leading to the epic mindset: “it is epically important that our view carries the day” and you see this in these deliberations, these discussions they had amongst themselves. Just as one example, the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, those who wanted a strong federal government over the states and those who wanted the states to have individual rights and decisions over their own destiny without a federal government imposing its will upon them. 

Now mind you, I am not saying that one was wrong or the other was right. This is what some of the people thought. They thought that the Federalist view would lead to exactly the kind of tyranny you had in England, and therefore, it was imperative to prevent this from carrying today. But on the other hand, there was the need to form some kind of union to keep the country together so of course, after much deliberation and much debate, compromises were made. Here we see that what you had was a group of people who were affected by the duality consciousness. Polarizations emerged in their viewpoints, Federalist, Anti-Federalist, between the slave trade states and the northern states, between the bigger states and the smaller states and many others. 

The compromise around a common vision

But in the end, there was a common vision that united them in saying: “we cannot fail, we must come up with some form of constitution for this new nation.”  And that is why I am saying that most of the people were above the 48th level of consciousness, because they were able to look beyond their personal interests and viewpoints and opinions and say: “There is something bigger here than us individually, than our states that we came from, than economic interests. There is something bigger that we must unite around.” 

And when people are below the 48th level, they cannot unite around something bigger, they will always be trapped in self-interest. They may disguise their self-interest as something bigger, as an epic cause, but then they will not be able to set aside their self-interest for a common cause. So by the fact that they actually created a constitution, you see that a majority of them were able to look beyond their own interests, their own viewpoints, their own polarization and say: “Well, we must be willing to compromise.” 

And when you look at the situation as it was, the quite great differences between for example, the slave states in the South and the northern states who did not have slaves, or between the very small states and the bigger states, you can see that realistically there was no way to create a constitution that was not based on compromise. It was simply the actual political situation that compromises had to be made. 

Blind to alternative 

What is important here to realize is that when I talk about the duality consciousness, I am not only saying, as we have explained before, that the duality consciousness blinds you by polarizing you towards two extremes. No, it blinds you to an alternative to the extremes. In other words, what I am saying is that when you look at this debate, polarizations emerged and the effect of this was that the delegates did not look for alternatives to the two polarized viewpoints. They first tried to make one win over the other, but then they ended up making compromises between the two. But still, the debate revolved around the two polarized viewpoints. For example, should we have a strong federal government or should the states have most of the power? Was there alternatives to that viewpoint? Yes, of course there was. Could any of them see these alternatives? No, they could not. 

Again, I am not trying to blame anybody. The realistic situation at the time was, this is how it was, this is what we had to work with. As we have said before, that Christ does not look for the ideal solution, but looks at the actual situation and says: “How can we use it to come up higher?” By the fact that they created a constitution, there was a certain influence of the Christ mind, there were enough people that were able to tune into the Christ mind and move on from there. Was it an ideal solution? No. But it was certainly better than nothing, because in that case, there would have been no United States of America today. That much was hanging in the balance that summer. 

The Electoral College

Now I want to go back to what I said about the elitist mindset. This also had a very great influence on the debate and what they could see and especially what they could not see. Now, if you have studied this debate, you will know that one of the big discussion points was how to elect a president. There were, of course, alternatives. You did not have to have a president. You could have had a parliamentary system with a prime minister, as other democracies have. But that was not part of the discussion because they could not see that. They could only see that they needed a strong president who could defend the country against other British attempts to take it over. And then the debate was how to elect a president or rather who should elect a president. And in the end, they could not agree on it or rather at a certain interim stage, they could not agree on it. They decided to put it aside. 

But what emerges from this when you study these debates was that the majority of the people that were there did not believe that the public should be allowed to elect a president by popular vote. And why not? In large part because of the elitist mindset. They felt they had studied, they had learned, they had thought about these things. They knew that the average person in America at that time had not studied. Most people could not even read, had not read any books, had not thought about how to form a government. They lived a simple existence on farms or in some kind of industry. They were most concerned about going out drinking whenever they had time and money and they had never even considered these bigger questions. They simply did not feel that the ordinary person was qualified to elect a president, therefore, they could agree that it should not, the president should not be elected by popular vote. 

They could not agree on how in the beginning, so they put it aside until they discussed other matters and then in the end, they came together again. And now they came up with a, what has been called a compromise upon a compromise upon a compromise, namely the Electoral College, where each state would appoint electors that would come together and they would elect a president. Now, as many people are aware, part of the reason for the Electoral College was actually the actual state of affairs at the time, we might say, with communication, people being spread out. Most Americans were farmers, they lived on their farms, hardly ever left their farms, certainly never traveled out of state. They had no newspapers. They might even not be able to read and this means that there was really no way for these people to get to know which presidential candidates were running. If a president had to travel the country, it would take a very long time to go everywhere and present himself. It was not practically possible to let the people vote because they could not really know who they were voting for and what the viewpoints of the president were.

You can say again, from a purely practical viewpoint that it was a necessary compromise to come up with the Electoral College. Again, given the dynamic, southern states, northern states, small states, big states, federalist, anti-federalist, and so forth. But the Founding Fathers who came up with the idea of the Electoral College and those who agreed to it, they saw it clearly as an imperfect solution, as a compromise. They thought perhaps it would without, before too long, be replaced by something better because they assumed that somebody could come up with something better. Well, as you well know, the Electoral College is still there. You may say today it has been changed somewhat. It has mostly a ceremonial function, but nevertheless it is still there. And what that really means is that it blocks the election of a president by the popular vote. 

The Electoral College and political parties 

And if you look at most other democracies in the world, then president or prime ministers are elected by the popular vote. In many cases also the ruling party, whether there is one or several, it is a matter of how many votes they get, not how many districts they win, states they win, electors they have. It is not a winner-takes-all as it is in the American system, meaning that the winner of a state takes all the electoral votes of that state or all the congressmen of that state. Why has no one come up with a better alternative? Well, actually many people have come up with a better alternative, but why has it not been accepted? Why has the constitution not been amended to put in place something better than the Electoral College? Well, because two things have influenced this. Number one, elitism. There is still, as Mother Mary explains so eloquently, an established old power elite in the United States who wants to maintain their grip on the nation, their stranglehold on the nation. And they feel that they have more influence through the Electoral College because as imperfect as they see that it is, it still prevents the election of a president by popular vote, and that they want to avoid more than anything else. 

You can ask whether that is logical or rational, but as Mother Mary explained, fallen beings do not think logically or rationally. At least they have their very own logic, which is not really the Christ logic at all. This is one thing, but the other development that many Americans are not even aware of is the development of political parties. At the time of the Constitutional Convention there were no political parties. Relatively few Americans are aware of this. Most think that Republicans and Democrats have been around as long as the Constitution or the Republic, but they were formed later. And those who have looked into this will know that George Washington himself was extremely concerned about this development because his entire life, his work in the army, his work as president, had been geared towards one thing and one thing only, the public good. And he realized that when you allow the formation of parties, it was possible that one or both parties would be willing to compromise the public good in order to attain the goals defined by their party, whether it was for society or whether it was for this party getting bigger than the other party and therefore, having the power of government.

This is another reason why the Electoral College has not been amended, because at a certain point there emerged one party which saw that in certain states it had the possibility of gaining a majority of the electoral votes and therefore, they could win the presidency without winning the popular vote. It has not happened often, but it has happened, including in some of the recent elections. This has prevented the two-thirds majority that is needed for a constitutional amendment and the ratification of this by three-quarters of the states. And which are the states that want to prevent this? What is the party that wants to prevent this? It is, of course, the more conservative party that looks back in time, that wants to maintain traditional values and a certain status quo. Now I am not hereby saying I am endorsing the Democrats over the Republicans. Both parties are, of course, affected deeply by elitism. Both are, so to speak, bought and sold by the elites, by different elites. But I am simply pointing out that the Republican Party has traditionally been the more conservative party, looking backwards towards traditional values, whereas the Democratic Party has traditionally been the more forward-looking. Whether it still is, is up for debate but that is not my point here.

Elitism behind the Electoral College

My point is that one of the changes I would like to see in the American political system was the abolishment of the electoral college and the election of president by popular vote. It is simply archaic to uphold a system based on the conditions back then where most of the people in the country had no realistic way of knowing the presidential candidates. With today’s information technology, anybody who is willing can make themselves aware what the presidential candidates stand for, what their policy is, what their promises are, and therefore any voter has the opportunity if they want to make an informed choice. Therefore, the main argument behind the Electoral College has been outrun by time and technology. Therefore, it should be accepted that the government of the United States—with the first words of the Constitution being: “We the people”—the government should trust the people to elect the president they want and they should allow this to outplay itself. 

To say that certain states that have a certain political viewpoint should outweigh the interests or the votes of the majority is not “We the people”. It is not in the Constitution. It is not the principles behind America. 

Now, you may say very well that it is not a principle liked by all, either the Founding Fathers nor the leaders today. And why is that? Well, the answer is simply elitism. Those who see themselves as an elite have a fundamental distrust of the population, the broad population. You cannot see yourself as an elite without thinking you know better than the ordinary citizen. It is in the nature of elitism to believe this. Furthermore, when you see yourself as an elite, it is in the nature of elitism to think that because you know better, you can define the exact conditions that should be manifest in the nation, what is best for the nation. Of course, in reality, you are defining what is best for the nation based on what is best for yourself. But you are not going to admit this, certainly not publicly. That means that it is in the very nature of elitism to create a system of government that gives special privileges and power to the elite at the cost of the population. 

The blind spots of elitism 

You will see this in the feudal societies where the land was owned by a small minority of landholders. You will see it in the United States today where those who have amassed massive fortunes of money can use that money to make more money and to prevent competition for their businesses by destroying them, by buying them out or in other ways and this now goes back to the Constitutional Congress. As I said, most of the people there had a certain elitist attitude. Some of them were fallen beings, but I am not saying that they were sitting there deliberately trying to destroy democracy at its infancy or take the United States into a blind alley. But most of them were elitists and therefore, as I said, there were options that they did not discuss because they could not see them. Now, at the same time, there were a majority of them who had some Christ attunement and therefore, they were aware that there is more at stake here than our personal interests and opinions. That is why they were able to come together and agree on a constitution, however based on compromise it was.

But you see, none of them had enough Christhood to fully realize what was at stake because they were blinded by their elitist mindset. And what was at stake? Well, at a certain level the stake was, as I have explained before, that the purpose of life on earth is the growth in awareness of as many people as possible. Essentially all people. With that in mind, the important point for a government is that it gives as many people as possible as much influence as possible on the government. In other words, it is anti-elitist in nature because when a small elite rules the population with an iron fist like they did in the feudal societies, there are very few growth opportunities. The people cannot raise their awareness very much. You will see that the feudal societies of medieval Europe lasted for, in some cases, over a thousand years and if you look at the growth in the consciousness of the people, it was very limited. And since the entire purpose of the earth is the growth in awareness of the people, this was anti-growth, an anti-growth society, which is why it eventually had to collapse. It could not be sustained over time, even though it lasted a surprisingly long time. 

Growth is anti-elitist 

My point here is this. The Founding Fathers did not grasp this whatsoever and that is why they agreed to this, that the popular vote should not determine who is president. But now you can go to another level of awareness, of evaluation. What does the growth in awareness mean? Well, it means, as we have explained, that you raise your awareness, starting at the lower levels, going up beyond the 48th, going towards the 96th and then beyond. Essentially, the raising of awareness is a process whereby people acquire personal Christhood because they come into connection with, leading to oneness with, the One mind, the Christ mind that unites all people horizontally and unites them individually with their Creator, with their I AM Presences and the spiritual realm. This is the purpose for the existence of the earth, and again, it is anti-elitist. 

God is no respecter of persons. Christ is no respecter of persons. Christ does not respect any authority figures, any positions, any privileges on earth. Christ is completely beyond what human beings have created in the duality consciousness—or, I could say, the fallen beings have created in the duality consciousness. Christ is beyond it, is not corrupted by it, always points beyond it. Christ is also what creates growth, self-transcendence. That is why a society, in order to survive in the long run, must constantly be willing to transcend itself by looking at itself, by looking at: “What are we doing? How are we doing it? Why are we doing it this way? Why do we continue to do it the same way instead of looking for something better?” But also, by looking at its constitution, its government. 

A new constitution? 

This, of course, goes against the established power elite who, once they have attained power want to maintain their state of power, their privileges. This is what you saw starting to emerge in the northeastern states after the constitution was ratified, and you then saw the emergence of another rivaling power elite, an aspiring power elite in the southern states, in the slave states, which led to the clash that became the Civil War. 

What you see from the Civil War was that despite the intentions of the Founding Fathers to avoid precisely this kind of scenario, the constitution was not enough to avoid the Civil War. Already there, you could see the need to rethink the constitution at that time, but this was not done. You can also look at the technological development, of course, and you can look at society as it is today versus how it was 250 years ago and you can say: “Well, based on all of the outer changes, is it constructive, is it realistic that we are holding on to a constitution formulated so many years ago in a society that was in so many ways fundamentally different from what we have now? Is there not a need to have another constitutional congress, to have people come together and start over?” Simply look at society today and say: “What kind of a constitution do we need to meet the challenges of modern society?” Has this been done? No. Why? Because there are forces in American society, who have a great influence on the political parties, who do not want this done. They want to hold on to what they have because, as Mother Mary said, it gives that power elite a hidden influence on society that they will not let go of unless they are forced.

Aggressively suppressing creativity

My point, therefore, is that this power elite is doing everything they can to undermine democracy while at the same time staying hidden from the people. This is their existential dilemma: “How do we use the democratic freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution to take power and privileges to themselves, by taking it from the population against what the Constitution actually promises as equal rights and equal opportunity?” As we have said before, the last thing that the elites of the world want is equal rights and equal opportunity. Why? Because they know they are not creative. 

Think about what we have said, Mother Mary and I, just in this conference, but also certainly said in others. The fallen beings have cut themselves off from the Christ consciousness. It is the Christ consciousness that makes people creative, willing to reach for something that is not visible now, that is not here now, but that can be manifest. It is the willingness to reach up for a higher awareness, a higher way to look at things, a higher perspective. That is the basis of creativity. And that of course, is what the Christ consciousness is about, taking the earth, an unnatural planet, bringing it gradually closer and closer to the status of a natural planet, eventually to ascend with the rest of the sphere. 

Christ is constantly pulling everything up. When the fallen beings cut themselves off from this, how could they be creative? They cannot. This means they can take power by force because they are willing to use force, which creative people are not because when you connect to the Christ consciousness you will not use force. You see that all life is connected and using force against others affects yourself negatively so, if you are not stupid, you are not using force against others, you are not hurting yourself. The fallen beings are willing to use force to get privileges, they are willing to use force to get them. But in order to do this, it is not enough that they use force. They must also suppress creativity because time and time again, as Mother Mary said, many of these fallen beings are much better at understanding history than most historians. 

Time and time again they have seen it was some creative idea that some person who is not part of the elite came up with that caused them to lose their privileges. And the fallen beings who have put themselves in a position of power in the United States, they know very well that it was the creative ideas of a few people in America that caused America to separate from the British Empire. And they were quite happy that this happened because now as the aspiring elite, they have been able to take power in America, which they could not have done in England, but they never want that to be repeated. They do not want another American revolution of thought, of ideas. They are in an existential dilemma of not only enjoying their power, exercising their power, seeking to maintain their power, but of actively, aggressively trying to suppress creativity, to suppress ideas that can overthrow their power and privilege. 

Tech billionaires running the world? 

That is why you see this incredible irony that you now have an emerging power elite, an aspiring power elite of the tech billionaires that have become billionaires because of creativity, but now they are supporting the very forces that want to go back to traditional values and create a more conservative society. But this is because, again, they have taken advantage of creativity to become rich. Now they want to have privilege and keep it. But you will also see something else. When you look at the entire computer revolution emerging out of Silicon Valley, yes, there is certainly a certain creativity there in terms of bringing forth new technology, but not in terms of bringing forth new ideas, new philosophical ideas we might say. That has never been the focus of the tech industry. And yet there are those who are at the top of the tech industry who have managed to consolidate their power over these big tech companies that now think they can run the world better than anybody else. Why? Well, because most of them are fallen beings. They are in the elitist mindset.

You can ask yourself, of course: “Are these tech billionaires really loyal to the Republican Party or traditional values?” No, of course not. They do not care about Christianity. They do not care about traditional values. They do not care about the people who want traditional values. They do not care about the people whatsoever, they are just using this because they see that right now this is a tool they can use to influence the political process. 

Growing awareness of the power elite

The next level of evaluation I want to get to here is, you look at the old established elite, they are not open to any new ideas that come from the Christ mind. You look at the aspiring elite of the tech billionaires, again, not open to any ideas coming from the Christ mind. None of these two elites, neither the established nor the aspiring, are open to ideas which means it does not really matter who wins and who takes over, because they will both see the need to suppress ideas from the Christ mind that can take America in an entirely new direction.

The reason why I am telling you all of this is simple. Who are the people who can become open to new ideas from the Christ mind? Well, you yourselves and many others, of course. I am not putting this responsibility on you that you, the relatively few ascended master students alone should be able to change the nation. But you can when you realize that you are connected to many other people who are also open to new ideas and that there can be—and you can be part of bringing this about—an emergence of people who are open to an entirely new way of looking at American society and American government, and the same in other democratic nations. Because what is, when you take what I have said here, what Mother Mary said before, what is the one element that is missing from democratic societies? Well, it is the awareness of the power elite. They do not need to call it fallen beings. They do not need to see it even in spiritual terms. They just need to identify that there has always been a group of people who have attempted to attain power and privilege and who have no empathy, no humanity, no concern for the population.

And then they need to recognize that there has also always been a group of people who have concern for the population, who have concern for higher principles and who are actually able to step back, look at history and say: “Why do we keep repeating the same pattern over and over again? Why do we have various power elites that take over various nations, create all kinds of conflicts, set up all kinds of tyrannical governments? Why do we create democracies and then see them undermined by money interests, by power interests? Why can we not just create a government that does what is best for all of the people, give them as much freedom and opportunity as we can give them? Why can we not create that kind of society?” You can look back at the Founding Fathers and you can say that at least some of them had that vision, had that dream that America could become the land of freedom, the land of opportunity. Not the opportunity to exploit, but the opportunity to self-transcend, to multiply the talents and reap the reward of your willingness to go beyond status quo. 

Enough of elitism!

Why can we not create that kind of a nation? And the answer is because there has always been an elite that does not want that kind of a nation. Therefore, the only way to create that kind of a nation is to become aware of the existence of the elite, their philosophy, their mindset, the world view of the elite, the methods of the elite and expose them mercilessly and therefore decide: “We, the people, have had enough of elitist societies. We, the people, desire to form a more perfect union that cannot be ruled by any elite.” That is entirely possible. You can help by putting yourself into that flow by studying, by thinking, by making calls, by holding the vision that this can happen. There are actually enough people in America today, in other nations as well, who are right there. They just have not consciously seen it and therefore they cannot come together and speak with one voice and say: “Enough of elitism, we want a non-elitist society.”

A Christ-like society

Can this happen? Well, of course. Why do you think I would even come up with the idea of creating a golden age on earth if this could not happen? Because, naturally, the golden age will not be a society ruled by an elite, even if it had great prosperity so that all people prospered. It still, in the golden age, will not be an elitist society. Why? Because the purpose of the golden age is not golden, it is not to create prosperity, it is to raise awareness. And again, it cannot be done when an elite rules, because not even the awareness of the elite is raised by them ruling. They just stay at the same level and attempt to hold on to their privileged positions. You look at a relatively small group of fallen beings who were embodied as the kings and the emperors of medieval Europe, they did not grow whatsoever vertically. Some of them grew by becoming even more cunning, even better at manipulating people, even better at deceiving people, but they did not grow vertically, they did not rise to higher levels of Christ Consciousness. 

And the entire purpose of Saint Germain’s Golden Age is to give all people on earth the biggest and best opportunities for growing towards the Christ Consciousness. What else could it be? I know that students of previous ascended master dispensations have had all kinds of fantasies about these wonderfully affluent societies, where everything was just great. Even my brother More has commented on how his book Utopia was actually a satire, not to be taken literally. The point is that the power elite cannot see what I am saying here. They cannot grasp the vision of a Christ-like society. They cannot even really grasp it. If they could, they would of course oppose it, and they oppose any ideas that go in that direction, but they cannot really grasp what it is. They cannot grasp that it is a society that is not focused on outer things, outer achievements, outer accomplishments. It is focused on one thing only, looking at the individual, giving each individual the maximum opportunity to transcend themselves, and therefore, be able to bring out their highest potential. 

Limiting competition and invention

Tell me, when you look at the history of America, what made America a prosperous and affluent nation? Americans often will say: “It is the richest country on earth.” Yeah, it is the country that has the most billionaires and millionaires and other rich people, but is the average population rich? No. But nevertheless, go back, look at the founding of America, look at European societies at the time steeped in the feudalist system, which meant what? Which meant that the ordinary population had very little opportunity for being creative and the ruling class was not creative. Well, maybe creative in figuring out how to wage war with each other, but not truly creative. So, what made America prosperous? It was that it gave an opportunity to unfold your creativity that was not there in Europe. But you see how the power elite has gradually attempted to limit people’s creativity, as I said, their existential dilemma. They have not been able to prevent American society from being raised to a certain level, but they have attempted to slow down that growth in order to maintain their privilege. 

Now, every once in a while, something new comes around like the computer revolution that the old industry could not even see the value of, and that overturns their control. But then there is just an aspiring power elite who attempts to get control over that new industry so that they now can attain control. And you will see so many companies in America and elsewhere, they grow to a certain level, now they become more concerned about limiting competition than about inventing. What is going to propel America into the golden age? It is not the status quo. It is not the traditional values. It is not allowing various power elites to limit creativity. It is only creativity, invention, new ways of thinking, new ideas coming from the Christ mind. What made America prosperous was that there was room for experimentation, for creativity, for new ideas but that room has been continually eroded now for quite some time. Let us not even put a certain time on it. But certainly, it started in the 1800s with the monopoly capitalists that saw it as their goal to attain monopolies. 

And you see it in the tech industry today, where the big tech companies also are aiming at having monopolies. Whether it is a search engine or an operating system or AI or whatever it is, always this quest for a monopoly. But you built your business based on new ideas. Why do you think new ideas would suddenly dry out and you now have to consolidate and destroy creativity in order to maintain your position? Why do you not keep innovating? Well, because fallen beings cannot innovate. When somebody innovates, they can move in and try to gain control and now they want to stop innovation to maintain their position. You see this dynamic over and over and over again. And as I said, there are enough people in the United States today who are right on the brink of seeing this. Of again, saying: “Why do we repeat this pattern? Why do we allow a society that limits creativity where those who have gained a position in industry or in society can now use that position to limit competition and limit creativity that only restricts society? Why are we allowing this? Why are we continuing to allow this?” 

What will happen next? 

One more topic I want to focus on here, even though I do not intend this to be my only discourse at this conference. But I want to focus on this, 250 years America has existed. If you go back 250 years to the Founding Fathers, the Constitutional Convention, would they have imagined that America would survive for 250 years? And the reality is that most of them either did not think it would survive or definitely had their doubts. What has allowed America to survive? Well, continued innovation, creativity, new ways of looking at problems, new ways of doing things. What would have happened if America had not been restricted by the power elites and their attempts to gain monopolies and destroy the competition? Well, America would have been much further along than it is today. 

But my real point for talking about this is, what will happen if the power elites that are there right now, if they manage to limit creativity and innovation even further than it is right now, what will happen? Well, America will start falling behind other democratic nations where they are not allowing a power elite to restrict innovation. It is simply inevitable. There is a certain arrogance among the power elite in America and many of the people have adopted it, that America could not fail, that America could not go backwards, that America is the greatest nation on earth and could never lose that position. But it is entirely possible that if America stops innovating, it will lose its position as the greatest, most affluent, most dynamic nation on earth. This has already started happening. One of the biggest threats to this is twofold, that you shut out immigrants and that you deliberately defund science so that the scientists leave. There has, just within the last year, started an exodus of scientists. And of course, you have the entire attempt to not only shut out immigrants, but to deport those who are already here. 

Immigrants and innovation 

Unless, as we have said before, you are a Native American, you are a descendant of immigrants. If your great-great-great-grandfather had been deported by ICE in 1814, you would not be an American. You might have been an Italian or a Frenchman or a Brit, but you would not have been an American. And America would not have been a great nation if all those people who built America had been deported or excluded. What is the characteristic of most, not all, but most of the immigrants who come to America? They see an opportunity they did not have in their native countries, and they are willing to transcend themselves in order to grab that opportunity. And in so doing, they are raising America up by multiplying the talents, by being creative, by reaching for new ideas. What about the people who do not want immigrants, who see them as a threat? Well, they belong to the category that Mother Mary talked about, and they are not just men they are also women. Those who are not willing to transcend themselves. 

Anti-American Americans 

If you are not willing to transcend yourself when society is changing and demands that you acquire new skills in order to get jobs, well, then you see immigrants who are willing to change as a threat. You are thinking that by the fact that you were born in America, you should be entitled to have a job where you just need to show up. But that is not America. That is not what built America. So how do these people who have an entirely un-American attitude claim to be patriots and Americans who are going to make America great again, by bringing it back to… when exactly was America great in the past, that we have to go back to? Whereas all of the people who are willing to transcend themselves, they are not thinking about bringing America back to something in the past. They want to bring America forward to something even better than it has ever been, and that is also what I want as the Ascended Master Saint Germain, and the hierarch of the Aquarian Age, and the architect of the golden age. 

I want to see America grow beyond what it has ever been before! Who cares about any past state when there is so much more to grow into? Irony of ironies. What you always see the fallen beings do, they loudly proclaim to be something, but their actions are the opposite of what they claim to be. You claim to be patriots. You claim to be real Americans, but your mindset is distinctly not only un-American, but anti-American. And this is, again, because there are people who do not fathom that they are just pawns in a game played by two rivaling power elites. 

But again, there are many people, a critical mass of people in America who are ready to see the rivaling power elites for what they are and see that they are the ones who are truly anti-American. And they are ready to see that America cannot control its way out of the current situation. It can only innovate itself out of it. The theme for this conference, that I instructed the messenger to formulate is: “Will there be another 250 years?” Many would say: “Of course, there will.” I would say: “It is not a given.” 

Innovate or perish! 

There are various perspectives on this that I will expound upon later. But for now, I want to focus on this. If America does not innovate, there will not be another 250 years because the country will not survive. It will fracture. It will be consumed by conflict. It will fall behind other nations. It will basically self-destruct from within. This is possible. Not the most likely scenario, but it is possible because the Christ principle is: everything must constantly transcend itself and come closer and closer to the ascended state. Otherwise, what we have called the second law of thermodynamics kicks in and closed systems self-destruct. You make America a closed system, no openness for new ideas or people who are open to new ideas. You have put America on the path of self-destruction. Unless someone pulls it away from that path, well, the outcome is a given as you see from other empires of history that collapsed for the very same reason. 

Look at these fallen empires. They all collapsed because they could not transcend themselves and innovate. And why not? Because there was a power elite or several that destroyed, that limited innovation and new ideas. This is another lesson that you can learn from history and it is one of the lessons that the fallen beings cannot learn. As both Mother Mary and I said: “Many fallen beings are much better students of history than most historians.” But this is one lesson they have not learned because they cannot see that they are the problem. You see, when you are inside the fallen consciousness, you cannot ever admit that you could be wrong and therefore, you cannot see that you are the problem. That is why Mother Mary talked about those who realize they cannot compete in today’s world. They must have an explanation for why that is and it is always projecting out that it is other people’s fault. 

There are these men in the manosphere that project it is women’s fault, but the fallen beings are in the same psychological dynamic. They cannot admit that they are the problem. They must project out that it is other things or other people that are the problem. And what they often do is they project: “The people are the problem. They are not educated. They are not able to rule themselves. How can you ever think of having a nation where the people are ruling themselves? It is impossible. It will lead to disaster after disaster.” But as I have said before, I would much rather have a nation where all of the people vote on the important decisions than have a nation that is ruled by an elite. Why? Well, look at history. 

The biggest disasters of history were always created by one elite or another, or by two elites clashing. It was never the people who went to war in order to prove that their king’s ego was bigger than the other king’s ego. It was always the elite. Again, I am speaking this into the collective consciousness because I see the potential that there are people who can receive these ideas. They can descend to their identity, mental and emotional bodies, surface in their conscious minds, and suddenly they say: “Oh, I never thought of that before. Why did I not see this earlier? It is so obvious now.” When a critical mass of people go through that experience, shifts will happen, as they are already happening, as they have been happening for a very long time and that is what brings the golden age closer and closer, step by step, shift by shift. You are part of that shift. And if you will accept your role, you can direct the chaos, as we have said before, into different directions. You may think there is chaos in America. Yes, to some degree, I agree. But you can learn to direct the chaos, so it flows in a more constructive direction and actually brings real change. 

America is, has been called, was seen by the Founding Fathers as an experiment. And the experiment really is: can the people bring a nation in a new direction despite all the efforts of the elite to stop it? And so far, America has moved in a new direction, and it can continue to do so, so that every crisis becomes a steppingstone for a new direction. It is what we call the School of Hard Knocks in a sense, because it sometimes takes some really hard knocks for the American people to go in a new direction. But still, I am willing to work with America and the American people. I am willing to provide the impetus that can turn the chaos in a new direction, and I hope that you are willing to be part of that effort, part of that flow from above to below. 

With this, I thank you for being willing to put yourselves in the flow from me through you to the American people, to the creative people who can bring change. 

Saint Germain, I AM, and I seal you in the Flame of Joyful Freedom that I AM. Happy 4th of July! If you will have it.
