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

I AM the Ascended Master Nada. Now you might think that I am here as the Chohan of the Sixth Ray, and perhaps we decided, as Master Lanto said, to demonstrate that the path is not an entirely linear process, so we skipped from the Second Ray to the Sixth Ray. But that is not actually the case. I am here representing the feminine branch of ascended masters, continuing Mother Mary’s release from this morning, and perhaps some of the women who are present will realize that even in the ascended realm, women have to do double duty. You work at the office, you work at home, and a woman’s work never ends. But when you have ascended, that is actually a joy.

The connection between matter and mind

My purpose here is to continue talking about how you co-create by superimposing the mental images upon the Ma-ter light, but that it is really not the Ma-ter light that takes those images on, it is the elemental beings. And the reason why this is important is, of course, that you can say that the Ma-ter light has an unconscious aspect, like you would say atoms and molecules and subatomic particles are not conscious, but what then makes the Ma-ter light take on images? In other words, one of the great mysteries we might say of materialistic science is that they have discovered in quantum physics that there might perhaps conceivably be some kind of connection between the mind of the scientist and the result of the measurement, but they are struggling to figure out how this can be.

And of course, over many centuries, spiritual people who have experimented with alchemy and manifestation have also wondered: “How can a mental image you formulate in your consciousness be out-pictured as a physical circumstance or physical form?” What is the connection between matter and mind, in other words? And you have, for a long time, had spiritual people who are contemplating mastery of mind over matter, but it is difficult to see how consciousness can directly affect inert unconscious matter. But the key to solving this mystery is to realize the existence of elemental beings who are conscious, and therefore, can connect to the images in your consciousness and take them on. And therefore, they are out-picturing or causing the Ma-ter light to coalesce around the form and manifest what you call a physical thing.

This is one way to describe this. We can, if we want to give an image that some people can relate to, we can say that there are these tiny little ping-pong billiard balls that are called subatomic particles. And the elemental beings have the function of taking these subatomic particles and putting them together in certain matrices. And these matrices then out-picture atoms. And when the atoms are then put together by the elemental beings, they out-picture molecules. And when the molecules are put together, they out-picture physical forms, such as a bell. Of course, this thing, this bell, is made out of molecules, atoms, subatomic particles, smaller building blocks that are put together in this form.

But this is just one way, and actually a more primitive way of describing it, because we now come to the question that materialistic scientists have not been willing to ask. They have been forced by the discoveries of quantum physics, at least some of them, those who are not in complete denial, they have been forced to consider: “Could there be some connection between mind and matter?” But they are still holding on to this clearly dualistic view that there is solid matter, which has an absolute objective existence independently of mind. And then there is mind which exists independently of matter or, for some of the hardcore materialists, is just an epiphenomenon of matter. But how an epiphenomenon of matter could influence matter, they cannot, of course, explain, for it has no explanation.

Does matter actually exist?

What we could ask ourselves, not just what is the connection between mind and matter, but does matter actually exist? Is there matter the way the materialists conceive of it, as an objective substance that exists in space? And you have the old question inspired by quantum physics: “If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there, does it make a sound?” In other words, the scientist would say, of course it does, there is an objective existence of a forest, there is a tree, it falls over, it of course creates a sound, there is just no one there to hear it and call it a sound. But you see, that is an image that needs to be questioned for society and science and spirituality to jump, to make a quantum leap, to the next level.

Is there any objective existence? And of course, you can say there must be some things that exist independently of the human mind, because there must have been a planet before human beings started incarnating here. And this is correct, as we have explained, but the thing is, is there any matter that exists independently of mind? And when you acknowledge the existence of elemental beings and begin to grasp what they are, you realize that the answer is no, because any physical thing is created by the consciousness of the elementals.

What does see a thing as a thing?

Now the thing is, there are several elementals who have created this bell, who have manifested this bell, if you will. They did this because a human being superimposed a mental image of this bell. And even though it was made in a factory, it was made by machines that had as little human operation as possible, the elementals still conformed to the image and materialized this form. And the elementals are of course, aware of the image, but are the elementals aware that they have created a bell?

Well, of course, they can hear human beings call it a bell, but do the elementals see this as the bell that you are seeing? Or do they see beyond the form and see the molecules, the atoms, the elementary particles?

In other words, you have the old newspaper photographs that were made out of tiny black dots, they were black and white, and the black part of the photograph, the dots were very close together, the grey parts of the photograph, they were further apart. You might, when you were a child, have looked at such a photograph through a magnifying glass so you could see the dots, but at a distance, your mind, not even your eyes, but your mind actually does not see the dots, but it sees shades of grey and black.

And it is the same. When you are looking at this bell, you are not seeing the smaller components it is made out of, the atoms, the subatomic particles, but the elementals are. And they are also seeing that this hand that holds the bell is made up of molecules, atoms, subatomic particles. So is the air around it. So is the energy field because the elementals, of course, see the energy field at the identity, mental and emotional levels. They do not see this as a separate thing that exists independently. You could say that from the human level: “Is this bell connected to the air? Is it a part of the air, or does it exist independently of the air? Is it connected to the table? If it is put on the table, it is held up by the table, but is it connected? Is it a part of the table?” You would say from your perspective it is a separate thing. But the elementals are seeing not all of these things. They are seeing this very complex picture of all these smaller elements. Even the air is filled with air molecules, atoms, subatomic particles. And so, what is it that sees this as a bell and attaches some meaning to the word “bell”? It is your minds. It is your minds.

Returning to the question: “If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one around, does it make a sound?” Well, if there is no human, it does not make a sound. There are energy waves released by the tree hitting the ground, but only a human being would call it a sound, and attach some kind of meaning to the sound, to, for example, distinguish it from other sounds, like a rock hitting the water.

How elementals manifest form

You see here the elemental beings, they are not creating things. They are not even in a sense creating something. The elementals who, so to speak, materialized this bell were not creating a thing separate from themselves. They took on the matrix for the bell. They became the matrix. This is how elementals serve. It is also how they, over a very long period of time, grow by taking on, in the beginning, very simple matrices, then gradually more complex matrices.

Why is this important for co-creation? Well, first of all you need to recognize, as Mother Mary explained, that you live on an unnatural planet where humankind, over a long period of time, has superimposed images upon elemental life that are not based on the Christ mind that unites everything. This means that the elemental beings have uncritically taken on this, because the elemental beings are not connected to the Christ mind. They cannot override the vision of human beings. They cannot evaluate the vision of human beings and say: “Oh, that is a lower vision, I am not going to take that on.” They obediently out-picture and take on whatever images are projected upon them. And this, of course, is what gives certain limitations, as Mother Mary said, that you cannot expect to materialize or manifest every image you hold in your mind because of the collective consciousness. In other words, the vast majority of elementals associated with earth have taken on these lower images and they simply cannot leave that lower image and manifest a higher one. That is not possible for these lower-level elementals.

You need to recognize here that if what you desire to manifest is somehow too far beyond the collective consciousness, the elementals cannot materialize what you are projecting upon them, because they are not free to do it. This is again simply for you to avoid disappointment. But you also need to recognize that this does not mean that a higher image cannot be manifest, because if that was the case, then how would the earth ever have overcome its downward spiral and come into a positive spiral?

How a higher image can be manifested

How is it that a higher image can be manifest? Well, it is because the elementals have a certain level of consciousness. And over time they raise that consciousness. But they do not do it the way you do it. You see, well, you could say they are doing it the same way many people are doing it who are below the 48th level of consciousness. But they are not doing it the way you are doing it when you are above the 48th. Because when you are above the 48th and have a connection to something outside your own mind, that is when you can activate your built-in ability to be self-aware. In other words, you can say: “I sense there is something beyond my own mind. What is that? I am going to open my mind to that.” And then you can receive a vision that things could be higher than what you are seeing around you. Therefore, you can formulate an image in your mind that you want to create something that is better. For example, you want to create a better bell than the bells that are there now. And then you can gradually manifest that. You can also, of course, grow beyond that to higher levels of consciousness where you see beyond the duality consciousness. This is self-awareness.

How elementals learn

Elementals do not have self-awareness. But they have consciousness, which means they can learn. But they do not learn by reaching up. They learn from experiencing conditions as they are. And elemental beings can— we have to be careful with words here—elemental beings do not feel pain, but they can experience pain. An elemental being manifests a very basic animal, say an insect or a slug that crawls on the ground. If someone steps on the slug, the slug experiences a certain sense of pain. Not the pain you would experience as human beings because your nervous system is more sophisticated. But it experiences enough pain that if it can, it wants to get away from it. And of course, the elemental that manifested the slug will now experience what the slug is experiencing. Over time that elemental realizes that even though it is just taking on images, there are some images that cause pain and some that cause what we might call pleasure or at least the opposite of pain. Gradually over time an elemental can develop this ability to discern: something causes pain; something causes pleasure; it is better to avoid what causes pain; it is better to seek what causes pleasure. This is a very rudimentary level of consciousness that you see in many animals. Unfortunately, on planet earth you also see the same rudimentary consciousness in many human beings, because they have lost their self-awareness, and therefore, they are only responding to this: “Does it mean pain? Does it mean pleasure?”

But still, the elemental grows from this and over time some elementals become more and more aware not only of what causes pain and pleasure, but also what works and what does not work. This starts as a very rudimentary awareness, but it can be simply this: “What enables the organism I have taken on to survive and what causes it to die? What causes a species to survive? What causes another species to become extinct?” It is sort of the evolutionary process that elementals over time begin to observe by experiencing what the animals that they are out-picturing are going through.

Attracting highly evolved elementals

This means that when you have reactivated your self-awareness, when you have started to reach up for a higher vision that comes from beyond your own mind, what you need to do is become aware that most elementals will not be able to carry out your vision, but that only the more highly evolved elementals will. And therefore, you need to attract those to you, and this is not as difficult as it sounds because they will attract themselves to you, because they want to out-picture something higher, something more beautiful, something more organized, something more sophisticated, something that is more positive, life-supporting, we might say. I am not saying the elementals operate with those words because they are human words, but I am trying to give you words that out-picture the evaluation process that elementals eventually develop and become able to perform.

They can see, for example, some of the highly evolved elementals, they can see that so many things on earth, in the animal kingdom, even in the mineral kingdom, are of a lower form, a lower potential. And they sense that since there are some forms on earth that cause more pain than others, there must be some kind of scale, there must be something perhaps that does not cause pain. And you can see the out-picturing of that in the biological sphere with flowers, for example, that are beautiful, that radiate a pleasant scent and they do not cause pain to human beings, for example. And of course, the more highly evolved elementals are the ones who are working with human beings. This does not go for all of them, of course, because many human beings are in a lower state of consciousness where they are superimposing these lower images on the elementals. But there are, of course, some people who are in a higher state of consciousness, who are not seeking to harm others, who have embodied the golden rule, and the elementals who work with them, they gradually develop this awareness that there are higher ways of manifesting forms. There are higher forms that do not cause pain, that cause pleasure, that cause growth, that are more sustainable. And those elementals have reached that level of discernment, we might call it, by interacting with human beings. And therefore, they will want to attract themselves to the human beings who have the highest level of consciousness and the highest vision. And through those elementals it is possible to manifest something that is better than what is there now, even something that is different from what is there now.

Technology and the elemental kingdom

You take, for example, to give you a historical example of this, for centuries, well for millennia, human beings were performing physical work with the help of animals, oxen, cows, horses, whatever you have. And, of course, elementals out-pictured those animals. But gradually, over time, some of these elementals developed that higher discernment, and then some human beings connected to the minds of ascended masters and were able to receive these ideas that beyond the muscular force of humans and animals, it was possible to create a mechanical force such as the steam engine. And when these people had received those images from the ascended realm, they, without being consciously aware of this, of course, they started sort of pulling the images down from the spiritual realm into the identity, the mental, the emotional and then the physical. And as they were pulling the images down, they were superimposing them upon the elementals at the four levels until a steam engine could actually be constructed in its first primitive form.

And this, of course, revolutionized human life, human society, because now you had a force that was beyond this. It was still force because you are heating the steam, it is putting pressure in the steam engine, and this pressure is released and performs work. But it was a higher form of force than muscular energy. This is just one historical example, many others, of course, with technology.

Non-force-based technology and advanced elementals

This is what also makes it possible to step up to what we have called non-force-based technology. This technology will be less mechanical than steam engines, nuclear reactors or combustion engines in your cars. But this requires a more developed group of elementals and it requires people who are able to receive these higher images. But in order for people to receive them, you must have become harmless as a dove, where you do not want to use this, first of all, for destructive purposes such as weapons, but also you do not want to enslave other people, make them dependent on, for example, oil or electricity, so you can try to monopolize the technology. Because what we have hinted at before is that this non-force-based technology will not work mechanically. You have now technology such as a gun, that has a shell in it that has powder and a bullet. And if the hammer of the gun hits the shell, it explodes and the bullet kills whatever it is aimed at. Whether it is a human being or an animal or a target, it will kill the target. That is mechanical technology. That is force-based technology.

Now in each case, of course, there are elementals that are making up the gun, making up the cartridge, the powder and so forth. But they are the lower-levels of elementals who will out-picture the image in a mechanical way. The more evolved elementals will not do so. And this, just to give you a primitive example, would mean that such elementals, if they manifested a gun, which they are not likely to do, but if they did so, they would say, if the gun is aimed at a human being, it will not fire. And this would be beyond the control of the human being pulling the trigger.

You see what is required for this kind of technology is that human beings, human societies are raised to the level that you are beginning to see in the modern democracies where they are not seeking to conquer and suppress their neighbors. They are finding a way to coexist, solve problems without violence. Otherwise, this technology will not work for them. Where you will see this beginning to manifest first is in energy generation. That there will be ways to release or produce, you might say, energy, but really receive the energy from a higher realm, and turn it into a force like electricity that can perform work. But that this will not work for people who have destructive intent. You can have a device that is a mechanical device produced in a factory that is producing electricity, but if somebody wanted to use that device with destructive intent, it would not work because the elemental who is in charge of manifesting the device would just choose not to make it work.

But you see what this requires. This requires this awareness that we do not want to live in a mechanical universe. We want to live in a creative universe. And the fallen beings, of course, and many human beings, want to continue for some time holding on to the mechanical universe where they can be sure that when they turn the key, their car starts. And they will say that the technology should do whatever it is designed to do regardless of their intention, their state of mind. They will be very, very resistant to having to look at their intentions and their state of mind and realize that: “Maybe my state of mind is so low that I cannot operate this new technology. Maybe our society is so low that we cannot receive this new kind of power generation but must continue to use fossil fuels and nuclear fuels for some time while we see other societies leap way ahead of us.” Because just imagine in a modern democracy what would happen if energy was free. Just imagine how businesses could grow beyond boundaries of what you can even imagine today if they had free energy, unlimited energy available freely. What could be produced? What could be transported? So many new ventures would open up for businesses if energy was free. And that society would raise its level of affluence beyond what most people can even imagine today. But this cannot happen in a mechanical way. There is simply a ceiling that societies cannot go beyond and many of the modern democracies are beginning to hit up against that ceiling.

The omega aspect of co-creation

Where this is important for you as spiritual people is of course that you need to align yourself with this pure intent, but you also need to be aware that you need to attract to you these kinds of elementals. But then you also need to be aware that, because of the law of free will, there is a limit to what even the more evolved elementals can out-picture. It cannot be too far ahead. For example, in the 1800s you could not have manifested the combustion engine. You could not manifest combustion engines before steam engines. You had to go through that step of the steam engine before you could bring down combustion engines, and you had to go through that before you could discover electricity and nuclear power, and so on. There are steps that must be taken. And that means it is possible to have a vision that is ahead of its time. Many inventors, scientists, visionaries have had visions of what is possible. It is just not possible yet because there are other steps that need to be taken.

Again, the omega aspect of co-creation, the feminine aspect of co-creation is to take the vision that is sort of the masculine aspect and, so to speak, bring it down to earth and look at the current situation on earth, what is practically possible. And then we must align ourselves with that current reality. You will see many examples from history of scientists or inventors, Nikola Tesla could be one obvious example, who had a vision, a valid vision, but it was just too far ahead of its time and therefore, could not be practically manifest. Yes, I know you can come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories about Tesla and why his inventions were not manifest, but that is not my point here. My point is that we have seen many, many people over the centuries, including ascended master students, grasp a vision that is a valid enough vision, it just is not realizable right now given the current conditions.

We saw in previous ascended master dispensations where some people grabbed onto this idea of bringing forth these fantastic inventions and they were dreaming that they wanted to be the one who brought forth the invention, became famous, got the Nobel Prize and became billionaires and because they had this self focused, they could never look at: “What would it actually take to manifest this vision, and is it practical right now? Are there steps we need to go through before then?”

They remained in this euphoric pie-in-the-sky state of mind and nothing came of their ideas. And of course we do not desire to see our students repeat that pattern. That is why we are sort of giving the visionary aspect and the practical aspect, because it is really, when it comes down to it, not the visionaries who are manifesting things. It is the practical people and the elementals that are manifesting things. And if you have a vision that you are superimposing, you might attract an advanced elemental, but if the vision is too far ahead of where the collective consciousness is at, even an evolved elemental cannot materialize it, it just cannot bring it all the way down to the physical.

Again, you need to be sensitive, need to be practical and how do you know whether your vision can be carried out? Well, you must as Master MORE said, experiment. But you must then avoid the disappointment if your vision is not manifest. You must learn from that. You must refine your vision and say: “Okay, I have a vision but are there steps that need to be taken before it can be manifest, and is it perhaps just my role in this lifetime to manifest one of these steps instead of the full vision?”

These are some of the considerations you need to make as you begin to experiment, because you will face this disappointment, discouragement from the dark forces who will attempt to discourage anyone who goes beyond the average level of consciousness and dares to imagine that things could be improved on earth beyond what the fallen beings want to see manifest.

Fear-based energies and elementals

I want to go in a slightly different direction by talking about the current conditions that you see on earth. And we have, of course, explained many times the importance of energy, that the emotional level, the mental level, the identity level, there is the collective consciousness, the collective energy field, and that lower energies can accumulate there, and that they have a pull on your conscious mind and the conscious minds of other people. But they also, of course, have an effect on the elementals because the elementals take on this energy.

How this then is manifest in nature is that when elemental beings, the lower elementals who cannot evaluate, when they take on, for example, anger or fear from human beings, they will manifest lower physical conditions. I know it is difficult for most people to grasp this but as we have explained many times before, after humankind took the planet into a downward spiral, matter itself became more dense. And this is why your physical bodies and the physical bodies of animals have a limited lifespan, why they manifest diseases, why there are these obvious signs of aging. You know the scientists have told you that all the cells in your body are replaced every seven years. If they were replaced according to the highest possible image, why would your body age? It would grow to an adult level, why would it age beyond that if all your cells are recreated, and if the cells took on the same matrix that manifested your 20-year-old body? That is because matter is more dense because the elementals have taken on these fear-based energies and images.

Where this is important is that the fallen beings, the serpentine mind, they are of course seeking to use this against human beings. Not only the, we might say, unaware part of humanity but also those who are beginning to awaken. They will target those who awaken and try to pull you in to blind alleys. And one of the, we might say, major blind alleys that they have created is simply chaos. You see that when elementals function in what we might call, it is not even a pure state, it is not even a natural state, but you can have certain elementals that are taking on a lower matrix that does not come from the Christ mind, but they are not at the same time overburdened by fear-based energy, for example, anger—if they are not burdened by this energy, they can at least out-picture the matrix as a physical form. But when the elementals become overly burdened by this negative energy, they cannot out-picture the image as a physical form. And that is why you see deterioration. One of the ways you see this in nature is the limited lifespan but also diseases, where you see new diseases that crop up all the time. That is because the elementals who are for example holding the view, the image of a human body, they become so overburdened that they now manifest some kind of disease. This is also why you see things in nature that are not what we might call natural or at least ideal. Earthquakes, natural disasters, storms, all of these things. Even what you call global warming is also partly because the elementals are overburdened by these lower energies.

Projecting fear through chaos

What happens as a result of this is of course that you have now in this modern age where people are becoming more aware, scientists have new scientific instruments and all of a sudden you are more aware that there was a time where there were not these diseases, there were not so many natural disasters, everything seemed to be better in the past and now things are getting worse, they are becoming more and more chaotic. And in a sense, it is correct that when the elementals are more and more burdened by energy, there are more and more chaotic conditions.

But what happens to this is, that the dark forces are using this to project upon people one basic idea: “You can’t trust the planet you’re living on. You’re not living on a friendly planet, you’re living on a hostile planet. And you never know when something bad is going to happen.” They are using the chaos to superimpose a human overlay on what you observe in nature that causes humankind to create even more fear-based energy that burdens the elementals even more.

This is how originally the downward spiral was created and how it accelerated. The moment people started accepting that things are getting worse, they produced more fear-based energy that burdened the elementals so that conditions in nature were getting worse. And it is the same thing that the fallen beings are trying to create today. The difference is that the earth is not in a downward spiral. It is in an upward spiral. But in today’s internet age where information and disinformation can be spread very quickly, the fallen beings are trying to have one last effort to prevent the upward spiral from going into the golden age.

Spiritual blind alleys

And how are they trying to do this? By taking the most aware people, the spiritually aware people, and pulling them into this fear-based reaction: “You can’t trust the planet. You can’t trust your government. You can’t trust society. Well, you can’t trust God of course, but we got rid of him a long time ago.” And one of the ways they do this is, of course, conspiracy theories. Beyond all the chaos you see out there, there is an even deeper level of chaos of these clandestine groups that are trying to control you and that is why you should not do this, and you should not do that, and you should be more and more fear-based and you should move out in the country, and get off the grid and live off the land, and store food, and prepare for disaster and this and that.

And can you see the effect of this? Many of the more spiritually aware people who are close to having the potential to co-create the Golden Age with Saint Germain, they now go into this fear-based reaction where they say: “Oh, I don’t believe anymore that things can get better, I believe they are going to get worse and I just have to hunker down and prepare for the worst instead of co-creating something better.” You see this phenomenon all around. Many of the people pulled into this are, of course, people below the 48th level consciousness who do not have the potential to co-create the golden age.

But that is not the target of the fallen beings, those in the serpentine mind. The target is you, the spiritual people, the more aware people. Those are the ones they want to pull into the downward spiral so you do what? You deny your co-creative potential. You are not even attempting to connect to the ascended masters. As other masters have said, the first condition for co-creation is you need to connect to the beings you are co-creating with, namely us. But if you are unwilling or afraid to even do this because you are so focused on this conspiracy theory that says the world is going to end next week, or at least the week after, you are voluntarily closing off your potential. And we can, as we have said, only stand there and say: “Well, we actually see how you put in your Divine plan that you would bring forth some new idea or invention that would take society to a higher level. But now you have gone into this blind alley where you have basically aborted your Divine plan because you think it is so important to validate your mental image that the world will get worse.”

The desire to validate the separate self

You may say, as Mother Mary said, Lanto was the good cop, I am the bad cop. And you may think this is bad enough, but it is going to get worse. I am only getting started. Because you see, the real issue here is that everything must be according to free will. And what have other masters said? What did Lanto try to explain? You have people who are in separation, who are creating a mental image, trying to validate that image. They are trying to get the universe to conform to their image. And here you have some fallen beings, as we have explained, who believe that God made a mistake by giving people free will. And they are trying to prove their point, to validate their point by having humankind go into a self-destructive spiral and basically destroy the planet. And if the planet was destroyed, the fallen beings would feel validated: “God must be wrong. We are right.”

But what are they really trying to do? Well, they are trying to do what Lanto explained that you do when you go into separation—validate themselves as masters of the universe. What Lanto also explained is that even a spiritual person walking the upward path, even an ascended master student taking the course of self-mastery, climbing from the 48th to the 96th level, even such a person can carry that last focus on self that is seeking validation in this world. Because that self wants to feel special. It wants to feel it is the master of the universe. It has figured it all out. It knows better than others. It even knows better than the ascended masters.

And therefore, we have seen over the decades, ascended master students who were attracted to our teachings because they saw some spiritual light in them, but they could not let go of this survivalist, doomsday, conspiracy theory mindset. They eventually got themselves into a state of mind where they felt the teachings had validated their mindset and they knew better even than the ascended masters that the world really was going down, that things really were getting worse. And therefore, they fell away from the teachings, so to speak.

The way out of separation

And again, from our perspective, free will must be allowed to outplay itself. If you still have this desire to feel special, to be validated, to feel that you know better than others, even better than the ascended masters, we know there is nothing we can say that will awaken you. At least there is nothing we can say that will awaken everyone. But as Gautama Buddha expressed, whenever we say something, some will understand. Some will grasp it. Some will say: “Wait a minute now, is it possible that what Lanto and Nada are saying applies to me? Is it possible I need to look in the mirror?”

And one way you can approach this is to say: “What is important to me? Is it more important for me to be right, to be validated than to grow with the ascended masters, to follow the teachings they have given? Is it more important for me to feel right, that I would not be vaccinated, that I would not wear a mask, than to grow, to follow the ascended masters as they move higher and give higher teachings? Am I willing to stop my growth at the present level or am I willing to let go of that need to be validated and realize that the ascended masters will never validate my separate self because their entire role is to help me transcend it? And that the only way to be free of that separate self is to connect to the ascended masters?”

Co-creating a higher identity with the masters

In a sense you could say, how do you walk the spiritual path, especially from the 96th level and up? You walk the path by co-creating with us. What are you co-creating? Something fancy out there in the world? No. You are co-creating with us a higher sense of self because you cannot actually create in your own mind a higher sense of self. That is what you are trying to do in separation, where you are creating this sophisticated separate self that becomes the master of the universe. But you cannot create a higher sense of self, a Christic self, within your own mind. You can only co-create a higher sense of self by connecting to us who represent the Christ mind. You see, the separate self is created out of separation. The higher self is co-created with the Christ mind.

You cannot – be careful to listen to what I am saying – you cannot sit here in your mind and say: “But look, the ascended masters have given all of these teachings through this messenger, through the Summit Lighthouse, through the I AM Movement. I am going to get all of these books and I am going to sit down and I am going to start reading them from one end to the other. And when I have done this, I will know how to create a higher sense of self. I can, based on this knowledge in my mind, I can create a Christic self. I can become the Christ by the powers of my own mind.”

This is a complete fallacy. An illusion. You only become the Christ by connecting to the One mind. You cannot become the Christ separate from the One mind. We have very carefully explained this from many different perspectives. I am just summarizing it in a very direct form. This is an impossibility. It is an impossible dream. It is an illusion. It is a fallacy. It is pride. It is arrogance. It is nonsense. It makes no sense.

You only become the Christ by giving up the desire to validate the separate self and deciding that you only want to exercise your free will, your co-creative abilities as part of the whole. You only want to raise up the whole instead of the separate self. It cannot be done any other way. There is no way to cheat here. I know Jesus talked about those who take heaven by force. They attempt to take heaven by force. They may create an outer appearance that they are spiritual, that they have all kinds of abilities, but they have not gone beyond the 96th level and they will not until they give up the desire to validate the separate self. It is not possible. It is like standing on the floor, grabbing your own shoelaces and pulling up thinking you can lift yourself off the floor by the upward force your body is generating. Not realizing that as you are pulling up, you are also generating an equal reaction to your action that is pushing your body down. It is physically, spiritually impossible.

The critical decision

You may say I am repeating myself, yes, but we have learned over time that this is one of the hardest points to get for people who are close to the 96th level. All people who are pulled into conspiracy theories, all people who are pulled into the doomsday prophecies waiting for the world to end, if it did not happen in 2000, it will happen in 2012 or 2024 or whenever—all people who are pulled into these dead ends created by the fallen beings, they are still seeking validation for the separate self that they have the superior knowledge of the universe. You cannot become the Christ from this mindset. You cannot co-create with the ascended masters from this mindset. It cannot be done.

You need to decide what do you want. Do you want to co-create, or not? If you do not, I have no problem with it. You will continue to pursue this goal of validating the separate self until you have that shift where you realize based on experience, based on the School of Hard Knocks, that it is impossible. And if you are not able to take my words and shift, then that is the route you have to take. But I know based on experience that by being direct, by, so to speak, forcing you to confront the choice, some will choose the higher.

And now, just as one final thought here, some of you have been listening to this talk and you have in your mind this perhaps subtle thought: “Oh, but this doesn’t apply to me. I’ve already chosen I want to co-create with the masters.” And some of you have, but you do not realize you still have remnants of that separate self, that focus on self that you have not given up because you have not seen it.

What I am trying to say is that even though I am presenting you with a choice, you cannot necessarily make it one time. You still need to be willing to look for what is hiding in the subconscious mind that might come up and derail you. You will have to validate that choice several times. The choice that what? That: “It is not about me. I of my own self can do nothing. It is about the ascended masters, my connection with them. It is not about telling them what to do. It is about me experiencing the Presence of the masters, not that they will tell me what to do, but that I experience their Presence over and over again until their Presence has shown me all elements of that separate self, all desire to be validated instead of the desire to be one.”

You can only be validated as a separate being because in the Christ mind there is no validation of individual beings compared to others because the high shall be made low and the low shall be made high because the Christ mind is the great equalizer. This is beyond what it is my task to talk about so I will end by expressing my gratitude for allowing me to interact with you and hopefully you will allow me to co-create with you a higher sense of self.

With this I seal you in the peace that I am, the peace that, if you invite it in, can consume all conspiracy theories, all doomsday prophecies and all sense that you are living on an unfriendly planet that is out to get you. The planet, the elementals are not out to get you. They can only out-picture what you project upon them so if there is anybody who is out to get you it is yourself, just not the self that you really are but the self that you want to have validated because you want someone to get you to validate the self. That is how ridiculous the self is.

With this, I seal you in the Flame of Peace that I AM.
