Ascended Master Jesus through Kim Michaels, March 23, 2025. This dictation was given at a conference in Holland: Locking in to Your Divine Plan.
I AM the Ascended Master Jesus, and I wish to talk to you about the topic of Christhood and your Divine plan. But first, I want to make a few remarks about the topic, the title for this conference, Locking in to Your Divine plan.
The essence of a Divine plan
What it is and how we make it
What does it actually mean to lock in, rather than to, for example, tune in? Well, what is it that is the essence of a Divine plan? Why do you make a Divine plan? The whole idea is, you are in between embodiments, you are free from the constraints of the physical body, the density of the physical body. You still have a certain level of consciousness among the 144 [levels], and this is sort of the starting point for your Divine plan, but you can see beyond it when you are not in the body. Once you reach a level above the 48th level, you are able to work consciously in between embodiments with your spiritual teachers, whichever ascended master may be close to you. Therefore, based on the guidance you receive from your teachers, you look to the highest potential that you are likely to be able to achieve in this coming lifetime.
Let us say this is ten levels of consciousness higher than what you have. Therefore, you can see more clearly what is the goal and how you might get there. You can also see more clearly what you, based on your previous lifetimes, desire to experience, what you desire to do. You can see more clearly what your I AM Presence desires to experience and do in the physical realm. Based on this, you make a plan. It is, as we have said, not locked down in every detail. It has an overall view of how you can get to that level of consciousness that is your goal. Now, this does not mean you cannot go higher if you really apply yourself. But when you make the plan, you set a realistic goal for what is your highest potential.
Why we make it
Now, why do you make this plan? Because we all know, all of us who have been in embodiment on earth, that once you are down in the density of the physical body, looking out at life through the subconscious selves you have in your emotional, mental, and identity minds, you are overwhelmed. We are all overwhelmed by the density. And therefore, we cannot see clearly. The Divine plan is meant to be a frame of reference that can guide you throughout your life.
And why does it need to guide you? Because once you are in the body, you have to go through childhood. You are exposed to whatever you are exposed to in childhood. You can so easily be overwhelmed. And what I mean by that is that as you grow up in a certain society, family, culture, you are exposed to all these influences from the outside, as we have talked about. You are brought up to take on a certain role, to look at yourself and life a certain way: “This is how we do things in our family, our society, our religion”, so forth and so on.
And this means that as you grow up, your life is put on a track. And if you did not have a Divine plan, what would most people do? They would just continue on the track that they were set on as they were growing up. For they had no frame of reference. How would they know there is anything else?
Life on a track without any growth
What you see is that for most people who are at a lower level of consciousness, their lives continue on the track they were brought up to be on, and they rarely deviate from it. You all have family members, people you have known for a long time, and you can see how there may have been some learning, some growth, some open-mindedness up until a certain age in early adulthood.
But then it was as if people accepted: “This is who I am, this is what my personality is, this is my potential, this is what I can do, and this is what I cannot do.” And now they live the rest of their lives with relatively little growth. It is as if their personalities, their psychology are set in stone, and they do not change. For some, it may be that some dramatic event, some crisis situation, forces them to change. But many people, especially in the more affluent nations, but even in poor nations, they live life at a certain level without growing. And that is because the density of the physical octave affects people’s minds so that they cannot see anything beyond the track they were brought up to be on. They are, so to speak, pulled by a gravitational force from the mass consciousness into following that track, living their lives the way they were brought up to live their lives.
You can clearly see that if people did not have any frame of reference, how would a society, a culture, even humanity as a whole, progress? Because what is it that causes you to be brought up to see a track you are supposed to follow? Well, it is present conditions. Present conditions in your society define the track you are supposed to follow. And if you cannot see anything beyond it, what will you do? You will live your life the way your parents did.
And if everybody lives the way that everybody has lived before, how is society going to become more? It just cannot happen. That is why you see in certain parts of the world there are people who are living largely the same way that their parents and their society have done for generations. This is essentially what you saw when I appeared 2,000 years ago in Palestine, a very stagnant society. In fact, had it not been for the Roman occupation, there would have been hardly any growth in society.
Locking in to your Divine plan
The Divine plan, then, is the only way that people who are at a higher level of consciousness can break free from the track their lives are put on as they are growing up. Because you have an intuitive sense there is more to life than the way you were brought up to live. There is more to understand. There is more to grasp. There is more to see. Look back at your own childhood and youth. You all had some sense that you were not being told everything, that there was more to know, more to understand, that there had to be some kind of purpose for life. You all had that sense or you would not be spiritual people today.
What does it mean, then, to lock in to your Divine plan? It means making that shift in the mind where you see the track you were brought up to be on. You look at your society and how you are constantly being inundated with these projections of how you are supposed to be as a human being in this society. But the switch you can make is to realize that regardless of all of this, you have a Divine plan that leads you towards a goal that is higher than what you were brought up to see, that is higher than your parents, your family, your society can see. There is a higher potential.
And when you make the switch of consciously realizing this, grasping this, and it is not a intellectual reasoning, it is an intuitive inner knowing, then you can lock your life so that you are willing to reach for your Divine plan. You are willing to reach beyond the way you were brought up to live and contemplate, intuit: “What is the next step in my Divine plan? How are all of these projections from the outside working against me taking that step? What do I need to look at in my psychology in order to free myself from these outer projections so that I can intuitively know what is the next step in my Divine plan?” It is locking in, it is making that conscious commitment that your Divine plan is more important to you than following the track you were brought up to be on.
Freeing yourself from your upbringing
Look at my life 2,000 years ago. Even though my parents had a higher level of awareness than the average, I was still brought up in a certain culture and I was very much brought up to live life a certain way. If I had followed that, there is no way I could have fulfilled my Divine plan. I would have been living a relatively normal life as it was considered at the time.
You may have known about the concept of a Divine plan for a long time. You may have contemplated it, and some of you have already locked into it, but you can actually all benefit from taking these teachings and considering: “How is my upbringing, how is the programming from my society blocking me from seeing the next step in my Divine plan? And especially, how is it blocking me from seeing the highest potential of my Divine Plan?” For many of you have a higher potential that is far beyond what you were brought up to see as possible.
You can look at the messenger and see how he was brought up in a working class family in Denmark. All of his family lived in the same town, worked in that town, lived there their whole lives; most of them are buried there. If he had followed that track, there is no way he could have done what he has done or rather that which he has allowed to be done through him. He was willing to move to another country to get away from that culture. I am not saying all of you need to do this, but I am saying you all need to consider, and you might use various ways to see this, but you could consider: “What chains were wrapped around me, my being, as I was growing up. And what do I need to do to remove those shackles so I can be free to actually consider my highest potential?”
The formula for growth: Start right where you are, multiply the talents and take the next step up
This is what it really means to lock in. I am not saying that by doing this you will see all of your Divine plan in one vision, because as we have explained, you see the next step when you take that, when you multiply the talents you have, you see the next step up and you continue this way. This messenger has never seen the end of his Divine Plan. He just sees the next step and he is willing to take it.
And that is all we are asking from you. You start where you are. You see, you can never actually go wrong with your Divine plan if you are willing to transcend, if you are willing to start with what you have. Over the decades we have given teachings about a Divine plan. We have seen ascended master students react in different ways. And one of the ways is that you think: “Oh, am I worthy to even start my Divine plan? Look at my situation. Look at my psychology. Am I worthy to start my Divine plan? Am I ready?”
But what have I just said? You start your Divine plan at the level of consciousness you had at the end of your last embodiment, and then your Divine plan takes you up from there. Even if you, at whatever age you are, hear about a Divine Plan, and even if you have not grown from the level of consciousness with which you came into embodiment, well, that is precisely the starting level of your Divine plan.
How could you not be ready? How could you not be worthy? You do not need to reach any higher level to start your Divine plan. You need to start right where you are and multiply the talents you have. And then you will be given more, and you take the next step, and the next, and the next. And if you keep doing it, you will one day look back and say: “I have really come up higher. I have made progress. I have really raised my consciousness.” Many of you have already had that experience, but I am also speaking for the broader group of people that might find this teaching later. You are always ready to begin your Divine plan. You are, for that matter, always ready to lock into your Divine plan by realizing there is something higher than the way you were brought up to see yourself, your limitations, your potential.
I understand very well the danger of giving you examples. Many people throughout the ages have looked at Jesus as this only Son of God who was so beyond them. This is, of course, as we have explained, a deliberate distortion created by the fallen beings to destroy me as an example.
But nevertheless, they still look at how I gave teachings, performed miracles, did this, did that, and they say, they think: “Oh, I could never do that.” And maybe you could not, but that is not the point. The point of your personal Divine plan is that you transcend the level of consciousness you start at and reach your highest potential. And if you do that before you are ready to go out of embodiment, you can even go beyond the highest potential, for there is no limitation to your self-transcendence built into your Divine plan. It is not so that there is a fixed goal, and when you reach that, poof, you are out of embodiment! If you reach that goal 20 years before your lifespan is up, you go beyond it and you can go even higher.
But it is not at all our goal to say that all of you should reach a certain level in this lifetime. It is the saying: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things.” That is the whole principle of multiplying the talents.
If you spend the rest of your life sincerely striving to fulfill your Divine plan and grow, you cannot do anything wrong. Whatever level you reach, it is much better than where you started. And this will help raise the collective consciousness, and as Saint Germain said, anything you do, any form of transcendence, will help manifest his golden age.
Manifesting Christhood
Now, how does the concept of Christhood, personal Christhood, relate to your Divine plan? Well, not all who will ever hear or read this teaching will have it as part of their Divine plan to manifest Christhood, because Christhood requires you to be at a certain level of consciousness before you have that potential. But many spiritual people, as I have said since 2002—10,000 people—have the potential to manifest full Christhood in this lifetime. Millions more can manifest a high degree of it. For many people, it is a quite realistic goal to manifest Christhood. Of course there are levels of Christhood, but nevertheless, if we are to define the beginning point of Christhood, it would be when you pass the initiation at the 96th level of consciousness and go beyond.
The initiation at the 96th level and focus on self
We have of course talked about this initiation before from various perspectives. It is not that there is only one way to look at this, but what I want to talk to you about here in this context is, as I said, you were brought up to see yourself a certain way, to see your potential a certain way, but you were also brought up to be very focused on yourself.
This relates, of course, to your past lifetime, what level of consciousness you were at when you left your last embodiment. But as we have explained, the result of the birth trauma is that you become focused on yourself. Well, Christhood is not focused on self. Christhood can only be attained when you overcome the focus on self and this can only happen through the resolution of psychology, the subconscious selves. But, it is not so that Christhood is the automatic result of overcoming subconscious selves. Why? Well, because as we have explained at this conference, the Conscious You can develop and does develop, over time, a certain overall view of life and itself.
Even if you resolve the subconscious selves that are wounded, that are pulling on you to identify with them, therefore be focused on yourself, even if you overcome those selves, you still need to make the conscious switch, the conscious decision to stop focusing on yourself. This is a delicate decision. You cannot do it with the outer mind, you cannot analyze and reason your way to it, but you can contemplate it and come to that inner resolution. You can come to realize that you have been focused on self.
You can have a similar experience to what the messenger has described. He was on the path for many years, he followed an ascended master teaching, he did everything right from the outer perspective, but one day he saw that he had done this from a self-centered, self-focused motivation. He saw the vanity of it and spontaneously from within there was this release that he did not want to walk the path anymore with this self-focus.
Becoming wise to the serpent and harmless as doves
You all have that potential. Some of you will have to resolve some subconscious selves before you are there, but many of you have the potential to reach that point in this lifetime. But what does it require to make that shift? Well, it requires that you become wise as serpents, harmless as doves.
Let us take the “harmless as doves” first. It requires that you give up the intention to do anything on earth, to change other people, to force a change, even to force people to stop suffering. You must give up any self-centered desire to achieve something, even the desire to have it be worthwhile that you came to earth. But the most subtle aspect for most people is to be wise as a serpent. Or rather, wise to the serpent, which in your personal mind is the ego.
Now, we have explained the ego from different perspectives going back to my original ego discourses, but later [we have] given the teachings about the subconscious selves that make up the ego. There is still an overall self that we can call the overall ego. It is based on duality and it is very much focused not on you but on itself.
Missing the initiation—again
This, let us call it the core of the ego, this ego is focused on itself as a separate self and it can be very subtle, it is not easy to see it. But the problem is that if you do not see it you can actually stand there at the 96th level or close to it and you can allow the ego to make you believe that you have now become the Living Christ, you have attained Christ discernment, or rather, the ego has become the Living Christ.
That is what has happened to many people not only in this time but in previous times as well. There are people who have spent lifetimes climbing to the 96th level, not passed the initiation, gone down again until they turned around, climbed back up and again missed the initiation. It was what I illustrated in the situation with Peter where he tells me what shall or shall not happen to me and I say “Get thee behind me, Satan.” This is the consciousness of Satan in your own mind, the ego, the self-focused self.
“You have no right to challenge me!”
Now, some people who will find this teaching can safely ignore it because they are not at that level but I want to give this teaching because we still see that there are students who have eagerly followed the path for years or even decades but have not grasped this initiation.
They are still focused on themselves and one aspect of this is that there are students who come to a point where they think: “I have attained Christ’s discernment and therefore the way I look at the world, look at myself and look at certain situations, this is now an ultimate truth.” Therefore, they do not want to be challenged and they might even say to other people: “You have no right to challenge me!”
This is not an uncommon scenario, that people who have not passed the initiation I am talking about will be very upset if other people challenge them and will even say: “You have no right to challenge me. What authority do you have to challenge me?” Because they think they are the Living Christ and they think the Living Christ is the ultimate authority figure.
But, you see, the Christ never reacts that way. The Christ does not mind being challenged by other people because the Christ does not see it as a challenge. Even when you have passed the initiation at the 96th level and gone beyond it, you do not mind other people telling you something. If the guru be an ant, heed him. You are always looking for something that can help you take the next step up.
Seeing through the vanity of the ego
What is it that dreams about reaching an ultimate level where you do not need to be challenged? It is the ego. What else can it be? The ego’s ultimate dream is what? How many times have we explained it? To become immortal, to become a permanent being, to enter the spiritual realm, to gain some absolute authority in this realm, to become a god-like figure in this realm. This is the goal that the fallen beings have been pursuing for a very, very long time.
You need to come to see this at the 96th level. You need to come to see the vanity of it. It is not a matter of blaming yourself. Take note of how many times we have been telling you not to blame yourself, not to come down on yourself. What I am describing here is just an inevitable initiation on the path towards the 144th level. You cannot go above the 96th level until you see the subtlety, the vanity of the ego.
The levels of Christhood
You see the value of talking about the 144 levels. If you go back to previous dispensations, many students saw Christhood as some ultimate level of consciousness, some ultimate achievement. But Christhood begins at the 97th level, and then there are levels of Christhood up to the 144th level. We have even said, of course, that when you ascend you go to an even higher level and you can keep going to the Creator consciousness.
The level of Christhood you reach at the 97th level is not the ultimate—an ultimate state of consciousness. It does not make you an ultimate authority. It does not mean you are always right. This is the ego’s dream that you cannot be challenged, you cannot be gainsaid, nobody has the right to tell you that there is something you have not seen in your own psychology. But of course they do.
If you are in physical embodiment, then anybody else who is in physical embodiment has the right to tell you what they observe. It may be colored by their own state of mind, but they still have a right to tell you. They have a right to express themselves, as you have a right to express yourself. Look back throughout the ages. What have the fallen beings always been trying to do? Set themselves up as some authority figure—a king, an emperor, a pope. It is always so that nobody below them can challenge them and, of course, everybody is below them.
The servant of all
But, you see, what is Christhood? You are always looking to grow. You are not thinking you have reached an ultimate level, you are looking to take the next step up so you qualify for your ascension. You are willing to listen to anything that might help you see what you are not seeing at your current level. What is Christ’s discernment? Well, it is not specific viewpoints here on earth. It is not that you are always right in a discussion with other people.
There are people, ascended master students, who believe—truly actually believe—that their view of Donald Trump is based on them having attained Christ’s discernment, and anyone who disagrees with them about Trump is because they do not have Christ’s discernment. But, you see, Christ is beyond all of these outer opinions.
What is the Christ mind? Unity between the Creator and His creation. The vertical unity. And unity among all people, the horizontal. What is it the ego wants? It wants to be greatest among you. And what did I say to my disciples when they were fighting about who was the greatest among them? “He who would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all.” That is the Christ consciousness.
How can you being right in a disagreement with other people be an expression of Christhood? You transcend the desire to be right, so that instead of trying to get other people to agree with you, you are looking at them, saying, thinking, intuiting: “Could I help that person grow?” You realize that it is not a matter of these outer beliefs: “Could I help that person grow?” And if so, you speak out, and if you do not get a sense that you could, maybe because the person is closed-minded, then you move on.
Loosing your life for Christ’s sake
In a sense you could say I do not care what you think about a particular issue on earth. What I care about is your willingness to transcend any issue on earth, any opinion on earth. Because, what have we said so many times? When you are ready to ascend, you will sit under that Bo tree and the demons of Mara will parade before you. If you are attached to a particular opinion, a particular position on earth, they will have something in you, the prince of this world will have something in you, and you cannot ascend.
There are people, unfortunately—and that is why I speak sternly—who think they are good ascended master students. They think: “Look at how long I have studied the teachings, how many decrees I have given.” But they have not grasped that everything on earth must be let go of in order to ascend. There are literally ascended master students who are doing the same thing that the fallen beings are doing.
The futility of perfecting your ego
Even though these students, some of them are not fallen beings, but they are still seeking to raise up the ego to an ultimate status, thinking this will get them into the ascended state. They have not grasped the essential initiation of Christhood. It is to let go of anything and everything that pulls you towards earth. “He who is willing to lose his life for my sake…” If there is something you are not willing to lose, well, you cannot go higher in Christhood.
I need to speak this into the collective consciousness so that there is a record of it, that I have done what can be done to put this before the people. They may never read it, they may never hear it, but it is still there so that they can pick it up if they are willing.
There is nothing you could do to perfect the separate self that would qualify it to enter the ascended state. It is not so that there is an ascended master who is the judge of whether you are ready to enter the ascended state or not. It is not that I, or another master, is standing there when you approach the pearly gate and saying: “You are not worthy, go back and try again.” We are not holding you out of the ascended realm. What is it that is holding you out of the ascended realm? That ego, that self-centered self that you have not been willing to see.
The essential initiation under the Bo tree
Do you not grasp the essential initiation? You are the one sitting there in front of the Bo tree. You are the one who has to look at the demons of Mara, the prince of this world. And if they have anything in you that they can use to pull on you, you cannot ascend. It is not the ascended masters that determine whether you ascend or not, it is you.
It is not even the demons of Mara, they are just doing the only thing they can do. It is you. Do they have something in you that they can pull on? Then you will be pulled back, or rather, you will pull yourself back because you will look at some temptation that the demons of Mara are presenting to you and say: “Oh, I’ve got to do this, I’ve got to finish that, I’ve got to correct that mistake, I’ve got to prove that I was right.” That is what pulls you away from ascending. It is only what you have not seen in yourself.
Christhood: Raising all life
That, of course, leads to a higher teaching about Christhood. What is Christhood? It is not that you are right. It is that you are non-attached to any opinion, any viewpoint, any condition on earth. But it is more than that. “He who would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all.” Well, first of all, this was said in a specific situation where my disciples were fighting about who would be the greatest among them after I departed. And this, of course, shows their level of consciousness.
They had not passed the initiation at the 96th level because in order to go beyond the 96th level you have to let go of the desire to be the greatest, to be greater than other people. In Christhood, there is no such thing. Christhood is, in a sense, the equalizer. Not that it makes everybody the same, but that you transcend the desire to compare based on a dualistic scale with a value judgment. Greater or lesser, what does it matter in Christhood?
And when you overcome that desire to use the spiritual path to raise yourself above others, then you can be the servant of all. The servant of the all, where it is not a matter of doing something for which you take credit. It is just a matter of being the open door for raising all life.
I know this will sound abstract to many people. What does it mean to raise all life? Well, in a very practical, down-to-earth sense, it means raising the collective consciousness. How do you do that? Raising your own consciousness, pulling up on everybody. But it can, of course, be more specific things as well. There are, as I said, many people with a potential to manifest full Christhood or a high degree of Christhood in this lifetime. And it is necessary to contemplate: “What would that mean? How would you express Christhood, given the situation you grew up in, given the world as it is? What does it mean to express Christhood?” And this is, of course, individual, but the general common denominator for Christhood [is that] you are always seeking to raise up, not put down anything. You may be exposing the unreality, the lies of the mind of antichrist, but you are not seeking to put down people. You are seeking to raise up people. You are seeking to raise up the all.
And as you grow in Christhood, you become more and more focused on raising the all, raising everyone up, helping everyone start where they are at and take the next step. You do not give the same to everyone. Some are at such a low level of consciousness that what they need is a cup of cold water in Christ’s name. You do not seek to give them the highest truth you see. You seek to tune in to where they are at and what can help them take that next step. And you have no judgment about what they should or should not do. You give them something. You offer them something. You can bring a man to water, but you cannot make him drink, or at least you offer the water. But really, Christhood means you are not coming from a self-centered motivation. It is not about you. It is not about you. “It is not about me,” might be the motto you need at a certain time.
Going beyond both the ego and spiritual “ME”
And how does this relate to your Divine plan? Well, what did I say in the beginning? You come down into embodiment, you get overwhelmed by all the projections, all the programming. What is this programming? It is all causing you to be focused on you: “This is who I am. This is how I am supposed to live my life in this culture. This is how I am supposed to be, and this is what I am not supposed to be.” Me, me, me, me, me. But your Divine plan is meant to help you go beyond this. And therefore, as you reach the levels of Christhood, you become aware that there is the ‘me’, and there is the all, and you become more and more focused on the all. You become less and less pulled into the ‘me’, and you become better and better at discerning when the ‘me’ raises its head and says: “Focus on me, focus on me, focus on me! Do not worry about other people! Do not worry about the ascended masters! Focus on me, me, me, me, me!” You become able to see it, to sense it intuitively. You just sense the contrast in vibration, and then you build this momentum of looking at the ‘me’, not condemning yourself, not analyzing, but just letting it go, letting it be. And you are being the greater ‘me’, the all.
And as you develop this habit of dismissing the ‘me’ without engaging with it, you spontaneously begin to tune in to the real ‘me’, the I AM Presence. And we have given various teachings about the Presence at various levels, but when you begin to go into Christhood, you really begin to overcome the sense that there is you and there is the Presence. You begin to overcome the sense of being connected to this faraway Presence up there. You are blending the Conscious You with the I AM Presence to the point where you might not be able to tell the difference. And you do not need to tell the difference, because at the higher levels of Christhood, there is no difference. You are the Presence, and the Presence is you. There is no you and the Presence.
And I know very well that this is difficult to grasp with the outer mind. It is difficult to put words on it, but still, it is valuable for you to have some concept to ponder. Basically, we can say, as we have said before, below the 48th level of consciousness, you are completely identified with the ‘me’, the separate ‘me’, the ego. At the 48th level, you have this intuitive experience. There is something beyond the ego, something beyond the mind. You do not see clearly what it is. In order to climb from the 48th to the 96th level, you build a spiritual ‘me’ that is different from the egoic ‘me’, but it is still a ‘me’. And when you come to the 96th level, you have to make that switch where you realize the spiritual ‘me’ was just a phase to get you to that level. And now, instead of seeking to glorify it and make it the Christ, you need to be willing to let it die bit by bit, just as you have to let the egoic ‘me’ die. And you might think: “Well, this means that, what? I build a new sense of self as the Christic me?” And in the beginning, you may need to have that concept. But as you go higher in Christhood, even that fades away to the point where there is really no ‘me’ anymore, at least not the kind of ‘me’ that can be defined in this world.
The Christ is beyond right and wrong
That is why I said that the Christ consciousness, Christ discernment, is beyond all of these outer opinions in the world. You cannot take an issue and say, those who have this view of the issue are coming from ego, those who have this view of the issue are coming from the Christ. Because the higher you go in Christhood, the more you see beyond both positions. The more you see that they are polarized positions, often tied to a dualistic value judgment, and it only keeps people trapped in duality. I know very well how many students will say: “Well, in the previous dispensation of the Summit Lighthouse, you gave a very black and white view of abortion. Are you saying that was wrong?” I am saying it was black and white. And the Christ is neither black nor white nor gray. The Christ is beyond. The Christ looks at what keeps people trapped in duality, what helps them transcend duality.
We have seen many ascended master students who took a particular political view in the world, became very attached to it, and they thought it was a result of their Christ discernment that they took this view, but it just kept them trapped in duality. That is not Christ discernment. That is not Christ discernment! Christ discernment is when you experience there is something beyond duality, and you say: “I want that experience rather than the dualistic experience of being right and making other people wrong. I want to go beyond right and wrong. Instead of being right among men, I want to be right with Christ. I want to be in Christ. I want Christ to be in me.” And that is the level of Christhood that many of you have the potential to reach in this lifetime.
Ascended masters are validating you—not your ego!
And we have given many teachings that can help you with this. We will, of course, continue to give you teachings, but for many of you, it will be enough to simply consider the switch where you suddenly see how you have been focused on the ‘me’, and you can consciously realize, accept, that the next step in your Divine plan is to overcome that focus on self, so you are focused on the all. That is what it means to be the open door. As long as you are focused on self, you are not the open door. You may still receive some intuitive insights, but you are not the fully open door. Because, as Peter wanted me to conform to his expectations and vision, you are wanting the Christ light, your I AM Presence and the ascended masters to conform, to validate the superiority of the egoic ‘me’. We will never do this. False masters in lower realms will gladly do it, and have done so with many students. There are students who have followed a valid ascended master teaching for decades, and are now switching into false masters in the mental realm, who are making them feel special, because they know this, and they have done this, and they are right and others are wrong. But we of the ascended masters will not validate your ego.
And this is, again, one of these enigmas that you face from your viewpoint, that we face from ours. We are seeking to raise you up. We must start at the level of consciousness where you are at. Many of you have been severely wounded by the fallen beings, been wounded by your upbringing. Naturally, we give you comfort, a sense that you are worthy, a sense that it is important that you grow. In order to meet you at a certain level of consciousness, we need to validate you in a certain sense. And it is inevitable that people at a lower level will feel, without realizing it consciously, but they will feel that we are validating their egos. But we are not validating your ego. We are validating you. You are more than the ego, but when we validate you, and you are identified with the ego, the ego will think we are validating it.
Make the switch, don’t judge yourself!
And this is again one of these conscious switches you need to make at the 96th level, and to realize: “Oh, the masters never validated my ego, they validated me, and I am more than the ego.” Therefore, you can look at your ego without condemning yourself, because you can accept our love for you, the real you, the Conscious You. You see, if you go back to previous dispensations, many students had this very judgmental attitude. They were judgmental of each other, and it was because, as I said, they thought that Christhood meant, that Christ discernment meant, you were always right in a black and white way: “This is the right view, that is the wrong view.” And, therefore, when they came to see an aspect of their ego, if they came to see it, they would condemn themselves and feel bad. Because, as we have said before, you will judge yourself with the same level of consciousness you have judged others. If you are harshly judging others based on a black and white viewpoint, you will judge yourself the same way.
We have seen many students over the years who somehow came to see an aspect of their ego, whether it was something we said in a dictation, something we gave them personally, or whether it was other people. And then they have been very condemning of themselves, which is, of course, never what we desire to see. We have also seen many students who, when they were confronted, when someone challenged them on an aspect of their ego, they became very angry, very defensive, rejected these people, and retreated into this ivory tower where their egos felt: “But I am the Christ, and these other people just do not see what I see. They do not have Christ discernment.”
And this is, of course, what people are allowed to do. But all I can say is, this is not Christhood. And when a student goes into this state of mind, we must withdraw from them, because anything we give them will validate the ego’s sense of superiority and make them more and more trapped. And that is why we withdraw from such students. But then the false hierarchy impostors in the mental realm will step right in and validate: “Oh, yes, you are right. Absolutely you have Christ discernment. No, those other people do not have it.” People can stay in that ivory tower for the rest of their lives.
Tune in to Jesus and his joy
There is always more that we desire to give you. But I will just give you one thing. I hold a spiritual office as the Cosmic Christ for Earth. I do not judge after appearances. My only concern is to help people grow. I do not put down anyone. I do not reject anyone. I may withdraw if it is better for a particular person, but I am always willing to engage with that person again when the person becomes open and again has ears to hear and eyes to see, because when you go into this egoic state of thinking the ego is the Christ, you do not have ears to hear or eyes to see the Christ. There is no judgment in me. I am only looking at how can I help you within the constraints of your free will, your willingness to listen, your willingness to see, your willingness to multiply what you have. There is no choice you could make that would make me turn away from you. There are many choices you can make that will make you turn away from me, perhaps even accept a false Christ instead. But those choices are choices. They can be undone by making more aware choices. And I simply want you to realize I am always there for you. I am with you always. It is my joy to help you grow. It is never a burden for me. It is my joy. I radiate to you this joy of the Ascended Master Jesus Christ. And that joy will be with you for the rest of your time in embodiment and even future embodiments. If you will only once in a while seek to tune in, I am always with you.
Be sealed in the joy of Christ.
