Listen to a recording of this dictation (subscribers only)
Ascended Master Jesus Christ through Kim Michaels, August 9, 2025. This dictation was given at the 2025 Conference for America: Rising above the superiority-inferiority duality.
I AM the Ascended Master Jesus Christ, and already there I have labeled myself as a heretic, as a false prophet, as the voice of the devil to most Christians around the world and especially those in America.
I was contemplating how to approach this dictation, which took a few thousandths of a second, but I decided to take a slightly different approach than other masters. I decided to be a little more gentle. We will see if I can keep that intention.
But I want to introduce, or rather throw into the collective
consciousness, the concept of being known by Christ. Does Christ know you? And you have a couple of situations in the gospels, such as Matthew, where I say that not all those who call me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom, and that there are those who will come and say “Have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils and done great works?” And I will say: “I never knew you, get thee hence, workers of iniquity.” What does it mean that Christ does not know you?
The door to the kingdom
You may say: “Well, have you not told us that without him was not anything made that was made, that everything is made out of the Christ consciousness?” So, Christ must know everything and everyone. Well, perhaps and perhaps not, for you see, there is always more to understand. Let us take the common belief among many Christians, even those who are not Catholics, that there is a pearly gate that leads to the kingdom of heaven somewhere up there. And when you die, you, if you have been good, you come up there to that gate, and you are greeted by St. Peter. And mind you, even those who are not Catholics, many Christians believe that St. Peter is the one who is standing there at the gate, because I said: “And upon this rock will I build my church” and I gave him the keys to the kingdom of heaven. They think Peter is standing there, and he is the one deciding who is going to go in and who is not going to go in. But there is a couple of things that are problematic about that assumption.
First of all, since Peter himself has not entered the kingdom, he is really not qualified to know what the criteria are. Second of all, it is one thing to have the keys to the kingdom. It is another thing to know where the door is and find the keyhole and put the key in and turn it and open the door and be willing to look what is behind the door. What is behind the door? The beam in your own eye. And if you are not willing to look at that, how will you qualify? Then of course, you can see Peter denying me three times after my arrest. You can see the situation where I told him: “Get thee behind me, Satan.” How exactly do Christians think that Peter is the one who decides whether they are going to go in or not?
The wisdom of the Mother, again, will allow you to see this and say: “If it is not Peter, then who is it?” And I will tell you who it is, for I know, for it is I, the ascended master Jesus Christ. I hold the spiritual office for planet earth, the office of the planetary Christ, and no one comes to the Father but by me.
Those who know better than Christ
Whether you are Christian or not does not matter. When you are leaving one body behind, you will, in your finer bodies, come up to this gate and there is a gate that leads into the ascended realm, as most Christians call heaven or the kingdom, and I am standing in that gate. And if I know you, you can go in, but if I do not know you, how can you ever get in that door? It does not mean I send you to hell or condemn you. I just point to one of the other doors that are up there. And what are those other doors? Well, one leads you to a realm where you can prepare for your next physical embodiment. Another door leads you to the identity realm. Another door to the mental. Another door to the emotional, and another door to the astral plane. Then there are doors that lead to other planets, and there is one door that leads to the second death. When people approach, if I do not know them, I point to a door.
Most people follow the direction and go through that door, but a few will stop up and argue with me and say: “But look, Lord, we have called you Lord. We have called you our Lord and Savior. We have done all these great works”. But I know you not. There is the door for you. Who is it that will argue with me? Well, many different people, but there is a large group of people that consider themselves good Christians, especially pastors, ministers, cardinals, bishops, and popes and potentates. They will argue because they think they have qualified and I should let them in. I just pointed to another door. They are saying, in essence: “You were wrong, Jesus. You should let me in.” But what are they saying? They know better than Christ who should enter the kingdom.
Are you known by Christ?
Now when you hear something like this, many people, if they were to hear this, which of course most Christians are not likely to ever hear, they would say: “But then tell us, what is the criteria you use to decide who is going to go in?” Because they project that I must be the one who decides, but I am not the one who decides whether you are qualified to enter the kingdom. You are deciding and you are deciding long before you come to that door.
In fact, whether Christians will hear it or not, you made decisions many lifetimes ago that set you on the track that either leads you to the door to the kingdom or leads you to another door. You are deciding because you are the one who decides whether you are known by Christ or not known by Christ. How do you decide this? It is very simple, but let me step back and explain this gradually.
Whether Christians want to hear this or not, everything revolves around free will. When you start out as a self-aware being, you have a sense of being connected to something outside your own mind. You do not clearly see what that something is, but you have a sense that there is something. It is as if you are seeing the morning mist surrounding you, but there is a bright spot of light that you can barely see through the mist. It is the rising sun of the Christ in your being. The option you have then is to acknowledge that connection and expand your sense of connection. And when you start out seeing yourself as a connected being, Christ knows you.
For what is it that allows you to expand your sense of connection, to come closer and closer to oneness? It is the Christ mind. But because of free will, the other option you have, as other masters have explained, is to go into the illusion that you are a separate being. As we have explained, yes, everything is created out of the Christ consciousness, but not with the Christ consciousness. When you go into this illusion that you are a separate being, you are not reaching for Christ. You do not use the Christ mind with awareness of the Christ mind to go into separation. You use the dualistic mind. And essentially what you are saying when you go into separation is: “Get thee behind me, Christ, for thou art an offense to me. Thou savors the things that be of God and not the things that be of men.” The opposite of what I said to Peter. But this is what you say, because when you go into separation, you have no need for Christ. In fact, you do not want Christ to be there, because if Christ was there, you would see that separation is an illusion, and therefore, you could not have the experience of seeing yourself as a separate being and experiencing that it is real.
Christ is the unifying mind. In one way, Christ knows everything, but at the conscious level of people’s awareness, when someone goes into separation, the Christ mind says: “I know you not.” Because the Christ mind must withdraw to allow the person to have the sense of reality that its illusion is real, that it really is a separate being. It is allowed by free will. Again, I am not condemning or judging. There is an experience you are allowed to have within God’s law of free will. But when you go into separation, you do not need Christ, and so Christ withdraws.
The turning point
When can you then be known by Christ? Well, when you come to that turning point where you have had enough of experiencing what you can experience in separation, and you say, either: “I cannot do this anymore, help me”, or you say: “There must be more to this.” And at that point, when you are willing to ask again for help from something outside your own mind, then Christ can approach you. But again, Christ can only give you the key.
It is up to you to put it in the lock and turn it. And what does that take? It takes very simply that you are willing to look at the beam in your own eye. When you are a connected being, how do you approach life? It is a path. It is an interactive process. You are thinking, feeling, sensing. There is something up there, out there, that I am connected to. And you are willing to interact with that something. You are willing to ask for help and directions, and you are willing to implement those directions so you increase your sense of connection. When you go into separation, you lose that sense of connection, for otherwise, how can separation seem real if you are connected to something outside your own mind? How can you really feel that you are separate? What does it mean to be separate? You think you are an independent being, existing as a self-contained unit in a world with other independent beings.
Are you an independent or interdependent being?
When you are a connected being, you see that you are connected to something beyond your own mind. That is your source. And other beings are also connected to that same something, that same source. So how are you independent beings? When you have a sense of connection, you are not independent. You are interdependent upon that something that is greater than yourself. And when you see that, you also see that all other people are interdependent, and you are interdependent horizontally with all other people. That is the community of Christ. But when you are in separation, you do not want to be in a community. Well, you may be in a community for practical reasons, but it is not based on this sense of connection to the Christ mind. That is why it is so often forced, why there is conflict, and why one community, one group of people inevitably sees itself in opposition to, in competition with, another group, or perhaps all other groups. That is why one group of people can come to feel that they are God’s chosen people, or they can come to feel that they belong to the only true religion, and they are the only ones who will be saved.
But you see, the experience of being in separation is seemingly that you are independent. But as science has even proven, everything is interconnected—the interdependent originations. In reality, you are not independent. But you can have that experience for some time, that you are an independent being. But that experience is an illusion created from the duality consciousness, which always has two opposite polarities, and therefore, you will always be in conflict with other independent beings. And therefore, you can never be at peace, you can never overcome suffering, as long as you see yourself as independent, self-existing.
What did I say: “I can of my own self do nothing, it is the Father within me.” But when you are independent, or think you are, you think: “I can of my own self do something.” And you think that in order to overcome the sense of loneliness that you have, the sense of loss, the sense of being threatened by others, in order to overcome this, you have to do more and more as an independent being. You have to gain more and more power. You have to make yourself superior to others. Then you think you will not be threatened by those others. Yes, that certainly has worked out well for Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Napoleon, and a few hundred other random dictators that we might mention. But you see, they never attain a state of peace as independent, separate beings.
Inferiority–superiority: Knowing better than Christ
But of course, as we have explained many times, the law of free will allows this. But that is also why the Christ then must withdraw from these people, and therefore, in essence says: “I know you not. I never knew you from the moment you went into this state of separation. I did not know you.” Now you feel threatened in separation, and so you build this idea that because of all the things you have achieved here on earth, you have prophesied, you have cast out devils, you have done great works, because of what you have done here on earth, you are qualified to enter the kingdom where you will achieve eternal peace. You come to the gate, and you see me standing there, and I am pointing away from the gate, and you argue with me.
What does that mean? It means you think you know better than Christ, but if you think you know better than Christ, you cannot know Christ, and therefore, you cannot be known by Christ. You have your reward, your sense of accomplishment on earth. Only those who know Christ or are known by Christ can have their reward in heaven.
You see how the entire inferiority-superiority dynamic springs out of this separation from Christ, feeling threatened, seeking to build a sense of superiority in order to avoid feeling threatened. Now not all go into this clearly egotistical behavior of seeking to raise themselves up to superior positions in society. Many people go into the inferiority polarity and do not seek to raise themselves up by doing anything. They seek to raise themselves up through association with those who are doing something, the blind followers of the blind leaders. Also, they think they know better than Christ because they think their minds can define that they are inferior, whereas in Christ there is no superior or inferior.
There are some of those who have been the blind followers who also will argue when they come to the gate. Not many, but a few. And again, I can only say: “Who are you and what have you done with the being I once knew?” How many among the supposedly billions of Christians around the world and the millions of Christians in America would be willing to consider the question: “Do I know Christ? Does Christ know me?” How many would project on this that: “Oh because I have done all these great things in Jesus’ name or declared him my Lord and Savior, surely Christ knows me. And surely I know Christ because I know from the scriptures and the doctrines of my church what Christ is.” But you see, you can use the name Jesus all you want, but if you are in the consciousness of separation, you are not doing the works of the Lord. You are therefore, a worker of iniquity. Why? Because you are seeking to raise yourself up, first of all as a separate being, second of all by using the things that be of men. You are not savoring the things that be of God.
What are the things that be of God? There are no independent beings. All beings are interdependent. Therefore, he who would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all. Seek to raise up the all instead of raising yourself as a separate being. Then you are doing the works or the will of the Father. As long as you are working to raise up the separate self, Christ does not know you. Only when you turn around, and mind you this is not a matter of doing outer things or making outer declarations, only when you turn around and are willing to look at yourself, the beam in your own eye, does Christ know you again. And the more willing you are to look at yourself, to look into your psychology, and look at all of these separate selves that you have built, that are created out of the illusion of separation, and that seeks to keep you trapped in that illusion, only when you begin to see these selves will you become progressively more known by Christ, because you will know Christ progressively.
Are you hiding from Christ?
We may say that it is not Christ that decides whether you are known by Christ or not, it is you. You have to decide, because what are you doing as long as you see yourself as a separate being? You are seeking to hide from Christ. And because of the law of free will, Christ stands back and says: “Well if this is your choice then you are allowed to hide, which means I do not know you, I do not see you, I am allowing you to hide.” When you decide that you have had enough of playing hide and seek, or rather you have had enough of playing hide and now you are willing to seek, then Christ can know you again, because now you are no longer seeking to hide. And that means you become open to being willing to know Christ.
But what is Christ? So many people, and this is why, as Mother Mary said, there is the impossibility of the mission of Christ, because so many people look at Christ through the filter of the separate mind, and they think they can define what Christ is based on what the separate mind can see. They are defining Christ as a dualistic being, but Christ is the unifying element that draws you back to your Creator, that draws you beyond duality, beyond the death consciousness. Therefore, Christ cannot be defined by anything in this world. That is why when Peter took his vision as a separate being and wanted to superimpose it upon me and say: “Be it far from thee, Lord, this shall never happen to you,” I had to denounce him: “Get thee behind me, Satan, because you are not savoring the things that be of God, you are savoring the things that be of men.” You are creating an idol of Christ based on the mind that is separated from Christ and you think this idol, by worshipping this idol, by declaring him to be your Lord and Savior, this will take you into the kingdom.
Worshipping the false image of Christ
But what is it you are doing? You are seeing Christ as outside yourself, as the external Savior. But where is Christ? Does it sound reasonable that Christ is in the kingdom? Where is the kingdom? Oh yes, within you. As long as you project an image that Christ is outside yourself, you do not know Christ and if you are not willing to reconsider that image and to have Christ teach you, show you, demonstrate to you that Christ is not that image, that the image is an illusion, then you are not willing to know Christ and then Christ must step back and say: “I know you not, I know you not, because you do not want to be known by me and neither do you want to know me as I am. For I am beyond the things that be of men.”
Think about this again with the wisdom of the Mother. Here are those fundamentalist Christians that declare Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Savior, but they see me as an external being and they think that this external being can save them, but how could that ever work? How could an external Savior take you into the kingdom that is within you? What are they really saying? Are they saying: “I want to know the real Jesus Christ?” Nay, they are saying: “I want to hold on to the image of Christ that is not Christ, that is not the real Christ, that is created here on earth, but I want that false Christ to save me and bring me into the kingdom.” How can a Christ created on earth take you into the kingdom that is beyond earth? Is there any logic there whatsoever? Is there any reasoning based on the wisdom of the Mother? Is there any willingness to reach vertically for an experience of the Christ so that the scales can fall from your eyes?
Often I see these people and as I said two thousand years ago: “Oh yes, with their mouth they declare all kinds of things, even with their actions they think they are doing my work, but their hearts are far from me because in their hearts they are not willing to know the real Christ.” Why? Because they have done works here on earth in my name that give them a sense of superiority, a sense of: “Surely I will be saved.” and they are not willing to let go of that idol, that false Christ and so their hearts are far from me. They love the things that be of men more than the things that be of God.
Do you have enough of the kingdom of man?
How can I let them into the kingdom when they do not want to enter the kingdom? Think about this, regardless of what they say, regardless of what they think, the vast majority of Christians do not want to enter the kingdom of God, for they have not had enough of experiencing the kingdom of men. I am not blaming them, I am not being a hellfire and brimstone preacher, I am just getting a little bit excited. But the reality is here, they have their free will, I respect that. I am not coming down, appearing in the sky in some undeniable manifestation and rolling up the world as a scroll, condemning those to hell who have worshipped me with their mouth but rejected me in their hearts.
I am not the one who decides, people decide for themselves. Have they had enough of the things that be of men, the kingdom of men? Will they shift and appreciate the things that be of God and then open themselves to knowing the things that be of God, not what men project are the things of God? That is the only deciding factor here.
The hell within
Is there an external hell that I am sending people to if they do not worship me? Nay, there is no external hell, well, unless you consider planet earth hell. But just as the kingdom is within, where is hell? It is within you, within your mind. When you are in a separate state of mind, that is hell, because there is always a threat, there is always an opposite, there are always other people that are seeking to manipulate you and get you to submit to them and follow them blindly. You can never be at peace, you can never rest, you can never feel secure, but it is all in your mind. Well, when you are on planet earth in a physical body, there are also other people, but still the experience of hell is in your mind, just as the experience of heaven can be in your mind, for everything is mind.
That is what you can begin to see when you acquire the wisdom of Christ. Even the wisdom of the Mother will allow you to see that nothing in the material world can exist on its own. Nothing could have created itself or come into being through some random process, therefore, everything is created out of mind, ultimately the mind of God. Heaven and hell are states of mind. “There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” I wish I had said that.
A black hole to the astral plane
But anyway, the awareness that is missing from Christianity is that you cannot know Christ through the mind that is separated from Christ. Once you have stepped into this separate mind, the dualistic mind, the dead mind, you cannot know Christ. You can come up with all kinds of images, doctrines, rituals, but you are not knowing Christ. And if you do not want to know Christ, Christ cannot know you. Christ must leave you in the darkness in your own mind. Only when you become willing to look beyond your idol of Christ and truly know Christ can Christ approach you.
Up until then, well, God knows what you are attracting to you. When people sit in their churches, you will be able to see if you had this clear sight that some of these churches in America are energetically black holes on a Sunday. Even some of the megachurches where you have tens of thousands of people, because they are worshipping a false image of Christ, they are literally, when they come together at a Sunday service, opening up a black hole that connects them to the astral plane. And there are sometimes legions of demons coming out of that, siphoning off the energy of the congregation. Perhaps I am still becoming a hellfire and brimstone preacher, but truly if you could see this, you would be shocked at some of these churches that appear beautiful outwards. And they are not even filled with dead men’s bones, that would not be quite so bad. They are literally filled with the demons out of the astral plane, out of hell. And people are sitting there singing and calling out my name and they are not in their hearts tuning in and reading the energy that they are co-creating in their service.
When they have a pastor up there who takes pride in whipping them into a frenzy, because he has learned that if he wants to attract people to his church, he must give them some kind of experience. He has learned to whip them into a hysteria, where they open themselves to these demons and they feel they are getting something special out of that service. Just like people who take drugs open themselves up to the astral plane and feel they are getting an out of the ordinary experience.
Truly it has absolutely nothing to do with my intention for the Christian movement. These mega churches and many of the smaller churches are not built on the rock of Christ. For the rock of Christ cannot open up a black hole, it is immovable. But the shifting sands have become like the quicksand that sucks you down. These people go to church Sunday after Sunday. They have some sense that they are being deprived of some energy, but they also feel they are getting some energy, they are just not discerning that it is not a higher energy, it is just an agitated energy.
A false hope
There is a clever mix because the pastors, the blind leaders, the false pastors, they have learned to create this mix of the fear of hell on one side and the hope of going to heaven on the other. Even though they feel worse than when they came, in one way they have the renewed hope that even though they feel bad, they will one day make it into heaven. It is like those Catholics in the dark ages that were willing to accept being enslaved by the noblemen because after this life they were sure to go to heaven. It did not really matter how much they suffered in this lifetime when they were looking forward to an eternity in heaven. Only heaven never came, but there was another embodiment where they were enslaved by the power elite. Because that is the experience they said they wanted and Christ cannot approach them because Christ does not know them.
Truly it is an abomination to see these Christian churches every Sunday and how the demons are sucking out people’s energies and giving some of it to the pastor so he can be empowered so that next Sunday he can do it again and again and again. And how long, oh Lord, before they have had enough of this?
Tuning in to the ongoingness of the way of Christ
The question I am hurling into the collective consciousness of America especially is: “Do you know Christ—and does Christ know you?” You who are here, you know Christ. You have been willing to know Christ, maybe not in the fullness yet, but you are at least on that path of becoming more and more connected because you are willing to look at the beam, the subconscious selves in your own subconscious mind. And if you continue on that path where many of you have made great progress, you will one day after this body gives out, walk up to that gate and I will step aside and say: “Enter ye in at the straight gate.” And I am looking forward to that moment but I am not asking you to be in a hurry. Take the time decided in your Divine Plan for truly once you know Christ in this world, why be in a hurry to go to the next world? Why not feel fulfilled in walking the path, walking the way of Christ in this world? You who are followers of the way continue to walk the way, continue to reach within and be willing to ask for directions to help you see what you have not yet seen.
Let not your ego whisper in your ear: “Oh but you have been on the path for so many years, you have done so many hours of violet flame, you do not need to look anymore.” But you see, if you are still in a physical body on planet earth, there is something to look for or you would have left the body because the moment you have no more separate selves or at least subconscious selves, you could not hold on to a physical body. You simply could not remain here in this dense realm because the selves that you created from the 144th level to the 48th level, they are not dualistic selves therefore, from a certain perspective not separate selves but they are simply selves that allowed you to adapt to the density of planet earth. And you had to do it in stages. You see, you are starting there as a Conscious You at the 144th level, you are creating selves in your identity body. That is the first step towards integrating with the density of the physical realm. You must be able to identify yourself as a being who can even fit into this density, who can even exist in this density.
You take on a number of these selves and then the mental realm because you cannot think as clearly on earth as you can in the ascended realm or on a natural planet. You must create selves that allow you to think in this density, the same with feelings. The thing is if you had no selves to let go of, you would have let go of the body. It does not mean that you could not have overcome the dualistic selves, the separate selves, but there will still be something to look for and overcome, some illusion to overcome as long as you are in embodiment. And therefore, it is wise for those who follow the way not to be misled into this subtle sense of superiority that you have attained something. You have attained something. If you have risen above the 96th level, you have attained some measure of Christhood. But Christhood is not a permanent state. Christhood is a process of self-transcendence, the River of Life. Therefore, if you allow your ego to whisper that now you can stand still, then suddenly what is Christ going to do?
Christ is going to say: “You have followed the way for so many steps, now you want to stand still at this level? Well, then you do not need me to stand still, so I do not know you anymore.” This is possible up until the 96th level. When you go beyond the 96th level you lock into the ongoingness of the way of Christ and therefore, the ego has no power over you to make you stand still. It may still pull on you to identify yourself with something on earth that you are attached to, that you cannot quite let go of, but nevertheless you lock into the ongoingness of the path and therefore, you know there is always a next step. For if there was not a next step, you would have walked through the door and the physical body would have fallen away and your life on earth would have fallen away. Simple logic of the wisdom of the Mother which looks at, simply, are you here on earth in a physical body? Well, then you still have steps to take before you are ready to enter the kingdom.
As we so often say because we are beyond time and space, we could go on. It is my great joy to interact with you and create this interdependent origination. I wish that I could reach all people the way we are interacting during this time, but that is for now only wishful thinking. But it shall not remain so forever because of what you and others who have opened their hearts to the reality of Christ have been willing to go through, the planet is being raised up and what you see going on right now both in America and around the world is that the forces who are working against this awakening are making a last ditch effort to hold it back, to pull people into following the blind leaders be they in church or state. And there will come a point where those who follow these blind leaders will suddenly realize: “We left the way, we are in the ditch and that’s a bitch—as in karma is a bitch.” And some of them will wake up and realize: “We have lost the way.” Right now most Christians think they are on the way and therefore, it requires that rude awakening of hitting the rock of Christ before they will realize “We are not on the way, we have lost our way” and then they will reach for something that can show them how to get back on the way and that is when I can know them again.
I would if I could spare them for those hard knocks but I bow to free will.
I thank you for being the open doors whereby I could radiate this message into the collective consciousness. I simply want to end with this: Do you know Christ? Does Christ know you? And I seal you in a joy, the flame of joy that I hold for the earth. I AM the Ascended Master Jesus Christ.
