Ascended Master PadmaSambhava through Kim Michaels, June 6, 2025. This dictation was given the conference in Seoul, South Korea: Being the Living Christ in everyday life.

I AM the Ascended Master PadmaSambhava. Some may say: “Are you not from the Buddhist tradition, and here you are at a conference about Christhood?” Well, first of all, I am not from the Buddhist tradition. I am an ascended master! No ascended master is from any tradition on Earth. For how do you ascend? By transcending all traditions on Earth—be it this, be it that, be it the next thing. No shackles from Earth can hold you when you ascend. That is the whole process of throwing off—first this shackle, then the next, then the next, until there are no more shackles left. Then, you can step into the ascended realm. If you see me as being from a certain tradition, you have not tuned in to the ascended being that I AM.

What can limit Christ?

Then, there is, of course, the concept of Christhood. Yes, Christhood, Christ, Christianity. Can Christhood be shackled by any tradition, any religion on Earth? Can it be confined to doctrines and dogmas, rituals? Nay, Christhood is a higher state of consciousness. It is the One Mind, the One Mind that unifies the Creator with its creation. That too is beyond anything on Earth. You can prove it by reading the Gospel of John. In the beginning was the Logos. In the beginning was the Christ mind, the One Mind. Before anything, any form, had appeared, there was the One Mind, the Christ mind, and without Him was not anything made that was made. First is the Christ mind, then there is form.

How can then any form limit what came before it? This is the lie of the fallen beings, or the mind of anti-christ, that they want human beings on Earth to believe—that the form can limit its origin, which by definition must be beyond form. The form can limit the formless, that which is beyond form. How difficult is it to see this lie? Well, here is the catch-22, the enigma. You can only see that this is a lie when you have some attunement with the Christ mind. What does this attunement do for you? Ah, it gives you a frame of reference that is beyond argumentation, beyond reasoning, beyond intellectualizing, beyond dogmas and doctrines, beyond discussions. Nothing on Earth can shackle the Christ mind. No form can bind the formless. It only binds itself—and it binds you if you believe in it. If you believe that form can limit the expression of Christ in you.

Am I not now contradicting what Mother Mary so carefully explained: That the expression of Christhood needs to be adapted to the way things are on Earth right now? Was she not in essence saying that the expression of Christhood, which is an expression of the formless, must be limited by, adapted to, the form that is there right now? Am I not saying the opposite? Not really—when you grasp that even though the Christ is adapted to form as it is right now, the expression of Christ is always more than the form. That is the whole purpose. What Mother Mary was saying was not that Christhood shall conform to form, but shall adapt to form. Still, the expression of Christhood goes beyond the form that is there now, expresses something that is beyond. What Mother Mary was saying was that that expression cannot be so far beyond the form that people who are still identified with form cannot grasp the expression. It must be adapted to their level of consciousness so they see there is something more. What can they then see when they experience the expression of the Christ mind? Ah, they can experience that there is something more than the form that matters to them right now.

The common denominator for all people

Look at yourselves, look at people you know, look at people in the world. What is the common denominator that all people share? There is something that matters to them. Something on Earth, something in form. Something in matter matters to them. When you encounter the Christ, you can see that perhaps that which matters so much to you does not have to matter quite as much. What I want to give you here at an early point in this conference is this thought. Contemplate it when you have a moment during the conference, after the conference. Contemplate, perhaps before you go to sleep at night. Contemplate: “Why does what matters to me matter to me?” Why does what matters to you matter to you? Contemplate this.

You will see that you have many things that matter to you. It may not be so much physical form. It may be the way other people look at you. Or the way you think other people look at you. Or the way you would like other people to look at you. Or the way you actually look at yourself, based on how you think other people look at you—and on, and on, and on. When you begin to contemplate this, you might see that there are many of these things that matter to you, and for each thing that matters to you, what is hiding behind it? Well, of course, a subconscious self.

What is an essential key to resolving this enigma of why what matters to you matters to you? It is to ask yourself: “What is the ‘you’ to whom it matters? Is it the you that you really are, the Conscious You? Or is it an outer you?” Some ‘you’ that you have created perhaps many lifetimes ago, perhaps as a result of your cosmic birth trauma, that you think the way the world looks at you matters to you. This self can only think that way because it was created based on this belief, this illusion, that the way the world looks at you matters to you, that the way form looks at you matters to you, the Conscious You.

Does anything in form matter to the Conscious You? Not when the Conscious You is conscious of itself as pure awareness, as an expression of the I AM Presence. As a spiritual being who has only descended into this matter world and is expressing itself through, interacting with the matter world, through the contents of your four lower bodies. When the Conscious You becomes aware that: “I am not the contents of these four lower bodies,” then the Conscious You can come to a point where it looks at a specific thing that matters to you, that has mattered to you your whole life, that has mattered to you for many lifetimes. It looks at this and experiences: “Yes, it matters to that ‘you’ out there in my four lower bodies, but it does not matter to me.” That is when you can be free, when you see that it does not matter to me. It only matters to that outer you.
