Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels, June 7, 2024. This dictation was given at a Deep Healing Retreat Conference in Tallinn, Estonia.

I AM the Ascended Master Mother Mary. I would like you for a moment to think about how you look at me as an ascended master, as the representative of the Divine Mother for earth. What images, concepts, ideas do you have in your minds, especially how do you look at me compared to yourself?

A gap between ascended masters and us

You see, if you look at the image you have of me, it will tell you something about the image you have of yourself, your identity, your sense of self. And many of you will recognize that because you recognize the existence of ascended masters, you also recognize or see that we are above and beyond you. We are superior to you because we are ascended. We are in the spiritual realm. But you are not ascended, you are still in embodiment, you are in a lower state of consciousness than I am. But now what does this mean? It means that you see a gap between yourself and I.

Why are you sitting here listening to a human being who is acting as a messenger where I, an ascended master, can speak through him and give a dictation? Because you are not sure that you can hear me directly in your own mind and heart. Why else would you need to listen to an external voice if you could hear me directly in your heart? And why are you not sure that you can hear me directly? Because you see a gap between you and I. I am in a higher state of consciousness, you are in a lower state of consciousness, you are not sure you can cross the distance. Now do not worry, my beloved, I am not going to tell you that you need to snap your fingers and overcome this illusion.

What you are seeing is true, is correct, is the case from the perspective that you are looking from when you are in your outer awareness. When you are in your outer awareness, when the Conscious You is inside the contents of your identity, mental, emotional, physical bodies, there is a gap between you and I because my consciousness does vibrate at a higher level and yours at a lower level because yours is attuned to the radio station of the material world with its four levels and therefore, you cannot hear me directly within that outer mind. But what is the magic, we might say, of the teachings we have given about the Conscious You? It is that the Conscious You can step outside of that outer personality.

No thing can prevent us from connecting

And what have we said? Everything is created out of the Christ consciousness. That means what? That means that the great connector is the Christ consciousness. What allows the messenger to take a message from an ascended master? The Christ consciousness. What allows the Conscious You of yourself to step outside the outer mind? The Christ consciousness. What is it that happens when the Conscious You steps outside of the outer mind? You experience the Christ consciousness, whatever you call it. You experience the connecting link.

I am not in time and space. Your four lower bodies are in time and space. When the Conscious You looks at me through the filter of the four lower bodies, you cannot hear me. But when the Conscious You steps outside of that filter, you are beyond time and space as I am beyond time and space. Naturally we can connect. Of course we can connect. What can prevent us from connecting when the Conscious You is not inside of and identified with the four lower bodies? No thing can prevent us. There is no thing in your four lower bodies or in the four levels of the material universe that can prevent us from connecting. And I say no thing because everything in the four levels of the material world is a thing or at least a concept of a thing.

And of course there is also nothing, which would be the normal expression. Nothing can prevent our connection. But that is not what I want to convey because how can nothing prevent anything? Nothing is nothing. It is not nothing that is preventing us from connecting, it is the thing, the thing you identify with.

Exercise: stepping outside of your four lower bodies

I know it can always be difficult to follow a dictation, your body might get sleepy, but I am asking you to be awake now. Close your eyes, focus your attention on your heart, the center of your chest, your heart chakra, and now follow this exercise.

The physical level

Would you identify yourself as your little toe on your right foot? Would you say this is who I am? Obviously not, I presume. If anyone differs, they are free to leave. Would you identify yourself as your kneecap on your left leg? Or as your elbow on your right arm? Or as your nose or your ears? “Nay, this is not who I am.” Why then, if you do not identify yourself with any of the specific parts of your body, why then would you identify yourself with or as the physical body as a whole? You are all spiritual people, so you realize you are not the body. That means what? It means your mind is not the body. Your mind is more than the body, which means in your mind you can step outside the body. I invite you, as you are willing, mentally in your mind you are stepping back from your body. You are going behind your body, up from your body. You are rising behind and above your body. Mentally you are now outside your physical body looking down mentally on your body sitting in the chair.

Now you become aware of this room in which you are sitting. The room is more than your physical body, there is space outside your body. But it is still confined by four walls, just as your body is confined by certain limitations. Now you become aware of the walls, the ceiling, the roof in the room. And you are now mentally stepping outside this room, back, up. You are rising above the room, looking at the room. It is as if you are looking at the room as it is inside, but you are outside of it, looking just at the room. Now you know that this room is in a building. Now I am asking you to mentally step back from this building. You are going back, you are rising above it, and even though you may not have physically seen the building from above, you are in your mind’s eye above this building. And now you know that the building is in some environment. For you who are physically here, it is in a city. And again, you are allowing yourself to rise above the city. You are looking down upon the city as if you were in an air balloon, floating above the city.

And of course, you can step even further back, and we will do this now. You are now even higher, as if you were in an airplane, but it is an airplane that is standing still. You are looking down upon this country you are in, and you are allowing yourself to float even higher, where you look at the continent, and now you are so high that you are beginning to see the curvature of the earth. And you are floating even beyond this, where you are now from a distance looking at the earth, the blue planet, with its oceans and continents, clouds. But you are beyond it. And now, instead of going further and further into space, we are transcending the material world, rising into the emotional level.

The emotional body

And at the emotional level, you may still have various feelings that are coming up, perhaps a certain unease of being outside the body, and what that means. But you may remember that when you were a small child, you were scared to go to bed for a variety of reasons. You had this feeling of fear. But would you now identify yourself as that fear, or as that child that was afraid? If you do not, you know you are more than that feeling. And if you are more than one feeling, does not that mean you are more than all feelings? Can you not then step back from your feelings, the feeling body, rise above it, and perhaps it is harder to step outside of the feeling body than the physical body. But you are now above the physical, so you are able to sense that, I, who is generating this voice, can reach you, and I am now reaching my hand down and offering you my hand. And if you grab it and hold onto it, I will send to you a sense of peace so you can rise above your feelings.

The mental mind

And as you rise with me, you rise into the mental body. And you may have some thoughts come up. You may even remember that many years ago when you were a child, you were thinking a lot about these bad boys on your street that you were afraid were going to come after you. But have you thought about this lately? You might remember it, but you are not identified with that thought that happened so many years ago. If you are more than that thought, perhaps you are more than all thoughts. Here you might feel a certain sense of unease again, maybe even a feeling of fear, because you are so used to thinking. I remember being in physical embodiment and always thinking. We are so used to thinking that we may not identify ourselves with a certain thought, but we can easily identify ourselves as thinking beings. And therefore, we can come to think that if we are not thinking, we do not exist.

There is a part of the thinking mind that will project the thought into you that if you stop thinking, you will stop existing, you will die. Because the mind thinks it is going to die if you stop thinking. But now take a closer look at this. You can identify you are here. And there is a part of your mind that is projecting at you, that you should not stop thinking. But if there is a part of your mind that is projecting at you, that means you are not the mind that is projecting at you. Are you the one who is thinking, or is it the mind who is thinking? And again, I offer you my hand. And if you grab it, I will radiate into your mind, into your sense of self, however you see it at this point, that you are real, but the thoughts come and go. Therefore, you are not the thinker, the mind is the thinker. Therefore, if you are more than the thinker, can you not rise above the thinker without thinking you are rising, but just allowing it to happen? You see, the Conscious You is not the thinker. The Conscious You has a natural pull towards the I AM Presence. You are thinking your way away from that pull. But if you do not think, then the Conscious You will naturally rise beyond the thinker. You are holding my hand with one of yours, and now you take the other hand, and you say: “bye bye thinker, I do not need you right now.”

The identity mind

And now you rise to the identity level and at the identity level, at first you may think there are thoughts, but they are not actually thoughts, the same way as they are at the mental level because the thoughts have a certain reasoning process. They start out with a certain premise, they go through a certain process, and they reach a conclusion. But at the identity level, there is no process, there is just a mental image being projected at you. This is who you are. This is how you are supposed to be when you are that kind of a person. There is no reasoning. You are reasoning at the mental level, not at the identity level. You just are, or rather, that is the projection.

There was a time when you were five years old, and you identified yourself as a child. Are you still that child? Well, certainly your physical body is not. You can easily tell from looking in the mirror. Why would the rest of you be that five-year-old? Certainly your sense of identity has moved on, with leaps and bounds beyond how you saw yourself when you were five. If you experience that your identity has changed in this lifetime, what does that mean? Again, tune in. There is a part of your mind that is projecting a mental image at you that this is who you are. But if there is something that is not you that is projecting at you that this is who you are, then you are not what is projecting. What is projecting is a part of your mind, your identity body. It is a structure in the identity body. It is a self in your identity body. And when you recognize that something is projecting at you, you realize you are not what is projecting, and what does that mean? It means you are not what is being projected either. You can take it on like you take on an overcoat, but you can take it off as you take off an overcoat.

The I AM Presence level

And again, I am offering you my hand and I am saying, do you want to take off that image that is being projected at you from your identity body? Then allow yourself to rise. Allow your Conscious You to rise out of the identity body. You are rising up and you are now looking down at your identity body. I am not asking you at this point to look at your I AM Presence, to look at me. I am asking you to realize that you are outside your identity body, looking at your identity body. But you are not alone. You are here with me. I am holding your hand, metaphorically speaking, because the Conscious You of course has no hands. Instead of saying I am holding your hand, let us say you are enveloped in my Presence. However, you can see yourself does not matter. What matters is you sense my Presence and we together are looking at your identity body.

Write

And now I am asking you to take your notepad and pen, take your notepad and pen without thinking, without analyzing, without any preconceived opinions. I will count down from ten to zero. And the moment I say zero, you start writing whatever comes to you. No analyzing, no hesitation. The moment you hear me say zero, you write whatever comes to you. I will start counting, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one and a half, one and a quarter, one, three quarters, a half, a quarter, zero, write.

Okay, so now you stop writing.

Uncovering how you see yourself on earth

Obviously you can take the recording of this and you can repeat it anytime you want. The important point here is that you strive to follow the exercise, step outside of your four lower bodies, look at your identity body and just write. There is no right or wrong answer. What you need to write is whatever comes to you and over time it will of course change. And what does that mean? It means that you will gradually unravel the mental images that are stored in these selves in your identity body and that are being projected at you all the time.

And when you then later look at the writing, you can use this to expose the separate selves that color your relationship to earth at the deepest level. It is the highest level, therefore, the deepest because it is the first level that colors how the Conscious You sees itself on earth. And this is what we aim to help you uncover and unravel. There will of course be layers, that is why you cannot just do this exercise once and think you have seen it all because you will see what you are ready to see right at this moment. What it is you are dealing with at your present level of consciousness that will take you to a higher level and then once you get to that higher level you can see what you are dealing with that will take you to an even higher level. Let us say you are at the 48th level of consciousness, when you find this exercise you can theoretically do it all the way up to the 144th level, even though when you go to the higher levels you will not have the same need to do it, but still. My aim for this exercise was simply to get you started.

Now you have all had these experiences of stepping outside of the outer mind and hopefully you had an experience of that also during this exercise. You have now this frame of reference, which means you can look at the contents of your identity body from the vantage point of not being inside the identity body. Do you understand, do you grasp why this is important? We have given you many teachings, you may have come from another spiritual tradition, you find these teachings about the four lower bodies, you are told that you need to start looking at how you identify yourself, but what will you do? You will start looking at your identity body through the filter of the separate selves you have in your identity body, or at least the selves. What does that mean? It means that you may be able and willing to see certain things in your identity body.

It could be: “I do not really need to identify myself with a local football club, I am more than just a fan of this or that football club, I do not need to identify myself with a particular car brand, or a particular sport, or with a particular hair color.” You may be able to overcome some of these more outer identities, but there will be deeper senses, deeper selves that you are looking through, and here is of course the essential truth about a separate self, and this is essentially why our teaching about separate selves is so essential. It is this, as long as you are looking through a particular self, you can never see that self. It cannot be done.

If someone put yellow contact lenses on your eyes when you were born, you will never be able to question that the sky is green. Only when you go through the exercise, step outside your identity body, will you be able to gradually come to see those more subtle senses of self, those more subtle separate selves that you have in your identity body. And only then will you be able to question them and gradually dis-identify the Conscious You from them, so that the Conscious You can finally look at a particular self and say: “I now see that this is unreal, this is not who I am, but this is not even how the world is. And therefore, I can let the self die, for I will still be I. In fact, I will be more I than when I was seeing my I through the self.” And this can gradually help you come to question these contents of your identity body.

Now you may say, why are we starting at the identity level? Because it is the highest level. And as we have said before, it sets certain parameters for how your mental body can think, how your emotional body can feel, and how your physical body can be. You will be surprised how many characteristics of the physical body are actually starting at the identity level, where the selves in your identity body sets the parameters that are carried down into the mental, carried down into your emotional, and therefore, determines specific conditions, even diseases, in your physical body, starting at the identity level. If you cannot question the condition at the identity, how can you unravel it? Because what did I just say? You cannot see a self when the Conscious You is inside the self. Well, you cannot see a self at the identity level from the level of the mental body. You cannot see a self at the mental body through the emotional body. And you cannot see a self at the emotional body through the physical.

Only when a Conscious You steps outside the physical can you see something in the emotional. Only when you step outside the emotional can you see something in the mental. Only by stepping outside the mental can you see the lower levels of the identity. But only when you step outside the identity can you really see what is going on in the identity body. We have chosen to have you start there, because whatever message you got, even if you did not get a clear message now, you can certainly get it in the coming days or even in the time after. You can deal with that self right now. You can deal with that during this conference. And this will be a good start in the healing process.

Naturally there will be levels, there will be layers. We do not expect that we can have you heal everything in three days. But what we aim to do is give you a process that you can then apply and therefore, over time make some real progress. With this I have given you what I wanted to give you in this installment. I seal you in the heart, the heart that I use to carry out my office as the Divine Mother.

How do you see me as the Divine Mother? I hope you can go beyond seeing me as anything and just experience my unconditional love for you. Each and every one of you who is here physically, who is here on the internet, who will ever find this teaching and decide to go through this time consuming process to apply the teaching. I hope you will experience my love, for my love is beyond time and space. It is beyond any condition in your physical body, any condition in your emotional body, any condition in the mental body, any condition in the identity body. It is boundless, beyond conditions.

Be sealed in that love.
