Ascended Master Padmasambhava through Kim Michaels, June 9, 2024. This dictation was given at a Deep Healing Retreat Conference in Tallinn, Estonia.

I AM the Ascended Master Padmasambhava. Some will say: “Did you not ascend a long time ago? Do you not come from the Buddhist tradition? What do you know about the modern world and information?”

In-formation

I would say, first of all, as an ascended master I am beyond time and space and any kind of history or background or religion or tradition on earth. I ascended by transcending them all. Second of all, do you really think information belongs only in the modern age? How do you think the entire universe was created? Through information.

Now, what is information? Well, pronounce it a little bit differently. In formation. Something is in formation. It forms a pattern. Therefore, it is not just random. You may have dots on a piece of paper that are completely random. But the moment you organize them in a pattern you have information. You all know these little codes you can scan with your phone that give you access to your bank, for example. This is information even though it might look like a fairly primitive pattern.

Information is a pattern beyond nothingness or randomness. But does the computer screen recognize the image on the screen? No. It takes, as we have said, a self-aware conscious mind to see the pattern and to put some kind of meaning into the pattern. Only then does it become information. This now raises a fundamental question that not many people have considered even in this modern advanced age. Does the mind recognize the pattern or does the mind impose the pattern? And this is the central challenge for all self-aware beings.

Co-Creative process: An exchange of information

Let us first look beyond earth to a natural planet. We have explained to you that there is a part of your mind that is the conceptual mind. This mind, we have said, formulates an image and projects it upon the movie screen of the Ma-ter light, so the conceptual mind is creating the pattern. However, when you start out as a new co-creator you cannot create a pattern out of nothing. Your mind is not yet capable of formulating a pattern out of nothing. This is why a new co-creator is placed in a structured environment that was created before the co-creator came into being.

The co-creator comes into this environment and it experiences the environment through whatever senses it has in its particular environment. There are many designs of planets, many designs of the quote-unquote ‘bodies’ that people take on on various planets, so they have various ways of interacting with their environment. But by interacting with the environment the co-creator takes in information because it recognizes that there is a certain structure in its environment. It is not just random noise, it is information.

By taking in the information from its environment the co-creator is able to build on this and formulate in the beginning just a slight variation based on the information it has taken in. And this then it projects out. And now for the very first time the co-creator experiences the miracle that it has co-created something that was beyond what it experienced. It has brought forth something that was not there before. And the first time a co-creator experiences this it is like a child that is given a new toy because it realizes that it has been given this incredible toy that will take on the forms projected by its mind. And the co-creator is excited about this.

Now you may say the information that the co-creator formulates in its mind and superimposes upon the Ma-ter light, is it particularly sophisticated? Well, of course not for a new co-creator. But that is not the point. The point is not to create a specific result in the environment but to create something that then gives the co-creator feedback so it can refine its mental image and project a more refined image. You see what is the co-creative process—co-creative—it is an exchange of information. The co-creator takes in information from its environment, modifies the information, adds something to it, projects the information out, experiences the result, takes in information again, modifies the image, projects a more refined image, and so forth and so on.

What is information you might ask? Well, it can be any pattern. Any pattern can become information when a self-aware mind takes it in and gives it some kind of meaning. This means that one being might look at a particular environment, take in the information and give it one particular meaning. Another being in the same environment may give it a different meaning. This is what happens to new co-creators. They are in the same environment but they have different ways of interpreting it, experiencing it, and therefore, they formulate different mental images.

Stages of the co-creative process

And in the beginning this is just an experimental process where everybody individually is experimenting with their co-creative abilities without interfering or clashing with each other. But as they gain more experience they begin to realize that even though they have the power to superimpose a mental image, the powers of their minds are limited. But if two or more co-creators combine their minds they can create something beyond what any of them can create alone. Before too long cooperation starts to happen and before there can be cooperation there is sort of a selection process. Where co-creators meet they begin to communicate to see if they share a similar interpretation of their environment. If they are very different then they go their separate ways and do not co-create.

What you see on a natural planet is that at first co-creators are placed at some distance to each other. They each have space to co-create in their environment without interfering with each other, but then as they gain more experience they begin to interact. There is a sorting out process where some co-creators come together in a group, move to a certain area. Other co-creators with a different interpretation come to another group, move to another area and there is this sorting out process. We might say that the co-creators start being distributed randomly on the planet but gradually come into formation as groups. Now they experiment with what they can create as a group and you can compare this to planet Earth where people are spread out in a natural area with forests and fields but there is enough room that each person can live by himself without interfering with the others. Each person is only capable of building a very simple hut to live in but then they start coming together in groups. They realize that together they can build a much more elaborate house, they can create fields, more people might join them and eventually they create a village. And if they create something attractive maybe more will come in and join them and gradually the village will grow into a town that grows into a smaller city and can continue to grow.

On a natural planet what happens is that in the natural environment that was first created, a certain number of co-creators can exist. But as they begin to organize, come into formation around a common vision and interpretation and desire to co-create, then they raise their environment to a higher level that can sustain more co-creators. And then the population is gradually increased and they form more organized societies with cities and gradually this can grow and grow and grow until the natural planet reaches the population it was designed to accommodate. But in some cases, it can even rise beyond that if the inhabitants can really work together.

The emergence of natural societies

This is of course, the ideal scenario. The co-creators never clash, there is a sorting out process and they separate out and then they experiment based on the vision they have in the different groups. But as they experiment with co-creation each group comes to a greater understanding of how their particular planet was designed. What were the principles that were used to design the environment? And when they understand this, even if they come to this understanding through an individual experimentation, now they come into a more coherent vision and interpretation of their environment because they realize that by working with the basic design principles they can co-create much more.

What happens over time is that even though it started out with different groups with different interpretations, more of a coherence begins to emerge and that is when they can work together and raise their planets. Now, this does not mean that the co-creators come into some uniformity or sameness. They are united by a common vision of how their environment works but they still express their creativity in many individual ways.

What begins to emerge is this harmony between individual creative expression and collective creative expression. There are no leaders that control a population. There are leaders that emerge but they do not cling to power. They do not seek to limit those below them. The leaders that emerge are the ones that are themselves most creative but also are most dedicated to helping others be creative. Does it sound like a utopian society? No, only in comparison to what you have on earth. It is the natural society found on the vast majority of the billions upon billions of planets found in the universe. It is the earth that is an exception, not the natural planet.

Principles behind natural societies

Why am I telling you this? Because what the co-creators on a natural planet do is they take in information, they interpret it, they create a new version of the information they have taken in, in their minds. They project this out and then their environment changes, they take in new information, refine that and so forth.

Gradually, as I said, they begin to cooperate which means two things. The co-creators discover the design principles for how their planet works and they work with them. They accept those principles and when they have individually or in smaller groups each discovered those principles they do not clash with each other because they all see that they benefit the most from working with the principles, and when they have this common vision nobody is trying to impose their will or power upon others. Nobody is trying to limit others or take anything from others.

The concept of theft is just not there on a natural planet because when you know you can co-create whatever you want why would you take what someone else has co-created? You might see that someone else has co-created something you do not have and that you want but instead of taking it for them you just co-create it yourself. Based on the information you have gotten by seeing what they created, where is the need to take anything from another? Where is the need to limit other people? How can it possibly be a problem for you that someone else has co-created something you have not thought of? If you want what they have co-created you take in the information, you co-create it yourself. You never even have the thought that if someone has co-created something that you have not created that you could not do the same and so why would you need to take it from them or limit them?

Going against the design principles based on the Christ mind

What we could say is that on a natural planet there is only information. There is no disinformation. And this is, of course, because as we have explained, everything in the world of form was created out of the One mind, the Christ consciousness, the Buddha Nature. Every being was created out of that mind and therefore, any information that was used to create a natural planet was based on the Christ mind. A new co-creator takes in the information from the Christ mind and uses its own mind, which is not yet fully the Christ but is certainly out of the Christ mind, to create its own information. And that is also out of the Christ mind even though it is at a fairly low level at the time.

As we have said, you see yourself as a connected being but have no clear concept of what you are connected to. But still, you are taking information based on the Christ mind which is you are connected to your environment. You are part of the whole. You are not apart from the whole. Everything is wonderful, one big happy family as they say, in the first sphere, the second sphere, the third sphere. Then in the fourth sphere which is one step denser than the third, there are some beings that start out as all other co-creators with a localized sense of self. They take in information from their environment, they co-create, they take in information and gradually a cooperation starts emerging.

But then on a few planets in the fourth sphere there were some beings who had the thought they had begun to discover the design principles for how their planet was working. But they had the thought: “Why should I follow those principles? What if I used my own ideas to co-create? Why should I be bound, limited by my environment? Why should I not co-create something entirely different?” And free will is free will. You are allowed to co-create anything you can imagine, so they started co-creating this way. This means that the information they now formulated in their minds was not based on the Christ mind because the Christ mind was used to formulate the principles for how the planet worked. But when you go against the principles in your environment you are not using the mind of Christ, you are using the mind of anti-christ.

Now, this was not as ominous on these first planets as it might sound on earth. But you are beginning to use information based on this idea that you are better at imposing a meaning on information than the ascended beings who created your planet. You know better. Even though you have not really explored the principles that were used to create your planet, you do not fully grasp them. These few beings got the idea that they knew better and if they have free will they should be allowed to do whatever they wanted.
