Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels, March 8, 2026. This dictation was given at the conference in Vilnius, Lithuania: Making a Difference in a Turbulent World.
I AM the Ascended Master Saint Germain, and I would like to provide you with some more down-to-earth practical suggestions for how you can make a difference in a turbulent world.
Information overload
One of the problems that many people encounter in these years is that they are bombarded with so much information that it scatters their minds, and they do not
know what to focus on. The first thing I suggest here is that you pay attention to your own reaction to the information that is coming at you through whatever channels you seek information and news. And you pay attention to how this pulls you in different directions, scatters your attention, and overwhelms you. Many, many people in the world today are overwhelmed by all of the information, so to speak, overwhelmed by all of the bad news.
I suggest that you pick one or a few topics that you feel are important to you, and then you focus on the news on those topics, and you simply ignore the rest. You do not have to know everything that is happening in the world at any given time. It is enough that you focus on these topics that are important for you. Then you educate yourself on these topics so you can make better calls for your invocations and decrees. We have said before that you choose a few topics, you make yourself an expert in them. If you have a certain area where you feel you have some experience and expertise, you can make up your own invocations based on the models we have. You can write your own verses in between the verses of the decrees. There will also be other decrees coming up that you can adapt to specific topics.
Christhood does not mean knowing everything
Beyond this, let us talk about Christhood. Christhood is often viewed by people who are aware of the concept even, as some unrealistically high thing, high state of consciousness. You tend to want to think that the Christ mind knows everything and that is of course correct enough, the Christ mind does see everything. But you are not the fullness of the Christ mind and therefore, you are not expected to be aware of everything. So even though Jesus talked about the expression of your Christhood and letting the Christ mind flow through you, it is not constructive for you to think that you should be able to have the Christ mind talk about every topic.
There are certainly ascended master students who think that if you are a sponsored messenger who has a mantle from the ascended masters, then we should be able to speak about any topic through that messenger. But this is not a realistic expectation. You can say, in your own case, you have reached a level of consciousness where the Christ mind can flow through you but what comes through from the Christ mind is a stream of consciousness, not words.
How a dictation is given
As I am giving this dictation, I am not standing up here in some higher realm, yelling down to the messenger: “I AM the Ascended Master Saint Germain, repeat this.” I am allowing a stream of my consciousness to flow into the messenger’s, through the messenger’s Conscious You, into the identity body, mental body, emotional body and physical. And in the four lower bodies of the messenger, the stream of consciousness is translated into words. In other words, he is not hearing words or seeing them written in flaming letters on the back of his eyelids and then repeating that. Could I send an identical stream of consciousness into the mind of another person who was trained as a messenger? Well, of course I could. Would that be the exact same message? No, because the words would be different from person to person. Even if we said that we had two trained messengers standing here and they were both receiving the same stream of consciousness from me, the words
would not be identical because as I said, the words are not determined at my level. The stream of consciousness is the topic, the concepts but the exact words are not determined at my level. The stream of consciousness is translated into words in the messenger’s consciousness. Now saying this would offend some students from previous dispensations. But it would not offend the messengers from previous dispensations, for they have experienced exactly what I am saying.
Now, this does not mean, mind you, that the words are entirely colored by the messenger’s consciousness because in that case a dictation from Jesus would sound the same as a dictation from me and I of course have certain expressions, certain mannerisms, certain wordings that I use. And the messenger is attuned enough to my stream of consciousness that they can be spoken and therefore, the messenger can speak a dictation in a different way that he would speak normally.
But still my point for this long discourse is to show you that when the Christ mind flows through you, it will be the same way. And what does that mean? Well, it means that there has to be some structure in your identity, mental and emotional minds that the stream of consciousness can activate so it is translated into words. And that is why if the messenger knows nothing about a particular topic, I cannot give a meaningful dictation through him about that topic. Brain surgery, not a hobby of this messenger. And the same of course goes for you.
Realistic expectations of your expression of Christhood
And I am giving you this teaching because I want you to have realistic, constructive expectations of your expression of Christhood. Many students in previous dispensations have had these far-flung, unrealistic visions of what it means to be the Living Christ. They think you are all-knowing, you should be able to talk about any topic. Now there is of course some difference between taking a dictation like you are hearing now versus just speaking but still having the Christ flow through you and this is an important distinction to make because being the Living Christ does not mean that whenever you open your mouth you are taking a dictation from some ascended master. Now it may very well be that you have a personal relationship with a particular ascended master so that when you open your mouth that master’s stream of consciousness does flow through you but it is not a direct dictation. And the reason why this is important is because when you speak it is important that you accept that your speech is personalized.
You can take a video of this dictation and watch it. You will see a certain expression, certain wording, certain mannerism. You can take one of the messenger’s YouTube videos and you will see it is different when he is speaking as a person and the same will be for you. And why is this important? Because when a messenger gives a YouTube video, when Kim gives a YouTube video because he is not the messenger when he records a YouTube video, he is sharing his personal experience and why is that important? Because it makes it easier for people to relate to him.
They can relate to you as a person more easily than they can relate to me as an ascended master and one aspect of the Christ mind is, as we have said, the Christ mind is at the lowest level of consciousness possible on earth and it is ready to express something that can help a person at that level see some illusion and take the next step up.
Turning your mistakes into assets
And that means that we now have an other misunderstanding that is often there in spiritual people, even Christians and ascended master students and that is that in order to be the Christ, you cannot have done any bad things in your life. You should have been perfect from the moment you were born and if they believe in reincarnation, they might say you should have been in a high level of consciousness for many lifetimes.
But you see, what is it that Christ wants to do? It wants to reach everybody and people are at different levels of consciousness, they have different backgrounds, different experiences. I look at each one of you, I look at your history in this lifetime. I do not have any judgment or condemnation of anything you have done, for I see it as
an opportunity to reach people in a similar situation. You see, your mistakes, your problems, the Christ turns them into assets. Nothing you have done was wasted, nothing you have done was a mistake. It was a way to give you experiences that could help you resolve psychology but when you resolve the psychology, it is an opportunity for the Christ mind to flow through you and help other people.
I am an ascended master. In a sense, I can see everything that happens on earth but what I cannot do as an ascended master is go into the mind of an unascended person and experience what they are experiencing from the inside. I ascended a long time ago. Certainly there are some parallels of psychology that I went through, but the world was in a certain sense much simpler back then. I cannot relate to what many people are going through today, and therefore, they cannot relate to me. But you who have gone through the same in this lifetime, you can relate to them, they can relate to you. Whatever experiences you have had, when you allow the Christ mind to flow through it, it becomes an asset for helping others. This requires, of course, that you are willing to talk about it openly, and for that you have to resolve the self that saw it or sees it as a mistake, the self that judges yourself.
Projecting a standard upon the Christ
What have other masters been trying to say during this conference? Everything you encounter on earth is what?— [audience:] An experience. I am glad some of you are awake or were awake in the past two days. It is an experience, it is neither good nor bad. It is not a mistake because even in duality and separation, it is neither good nor bad, it is just an experience. Because what is the purpose of an unascended sphere? It is the growth of consciousness, the transcendence of self. How do you grow in consciousness? By having experiences and any experience can be used for the growth in consciousness. It is just a matter of processing it. You see what the fallen beings have done on earth, they have, as we have said so many times before, projected there is a standard that you must live up to. There is a standard for how you are a good communist, a good American, a good Frenchman, a good Brit (you have to have wit). And there is a standard for what it means to be a good Christian, a good Buddhist, a good Muslim, a good Hindu. Oh yes, and a good Christ.
The fallen beings, trapped in the consciousness of anti-christ, blinded by that consciousness of anti-christ, they have the arrogance to believe that they can define a standard for what it means to be the Living Christ and how the Living Christ should express itself in this world. And anyone who takes embodiment on this planet will be affected by this very aggressive mindset, including myself when I was in embodiment. Including Jesus, Mother Mary, the Buddha, we all had to deal with it. Why? Well, partly for our own growth, partly to demonstrate that you can be born in a manger and still ascend from earth. To demonstrate that whatever you go into in the material world, you can rise above it, you can transcend it. But how are you going to transcend it? Not by judging yourself according to the standard of the fallen beings but by realizing that in order to deal with that standard, you have created a separate self. And once you create this self, the fallen beings can relax, go to the beach, smoke a cigar, because they do not need to judge you anymore. You are judging yourself, you are doing their work for them.
And when you see this, you can say: “Hey, this is ridiculous. Why am I doing this?” And then, of course, you can have a part of this self that says: “Oh, you must be really stupid for falling for this lie. You must be stupid for judging yourself.” And then you can step back and say: “Where did that come from? Is that not just another self that is unreal?” And eventually you come to this point where you see that it is just complete unreality. What the fallen beings have attempted to do, you understand, is to project a standard upon the Christ and how the Christ should be expressed in this world. But as we have said before, as Jesus explained so carefully, the role of the Christ is to never conform to the standards and the expectations in this world, but to always challenge them, to go beyond them, thereby challenging people to transcend their current beliefs, their current mental images, their current sense of self.
Knowing better than Christ
But what many people do is they fall for this trap and then they think that when the Christ speaks, it should affirm the viewpoints to which they are attached.
This is what Peter did in the situation where Jesus asked his disciples: “Who do men say that I am?” And Peter says, when he tells them he should go to Jerusalem and be persecuted and crucified, he says: “Be it far from thee, Lord” because he thinks he knows better than the Christ. He thinks that his image of what the Christ is and what should or should not happen to the Christ is the highest possible image. And therefore, he feels he is entitled to correct Jesus and tell him how he should be the Christ. Essentially, Peter, who did not have the level of Christhood, was trying to tell Jesus how Jesus should be the Christ, how he should express his Christhood. That is, in essence, the consciousness of the fallen beings, also an aspect of the duality consciousness that has not fallen but still believes that from the state of separation it can project how the world works.
It can even project how that which is beyond separation should behave or speak because, as we have said, when you go into separation, the ego has the insecurity and it seeks to cover it over by being right. And therefore, it formulates dualistic viewpoints and says: “communism is the ultimate philosophy, Christianity is the only true religion, scientific materialism is the only fact” and then it seeks only validation for those beliefs. But most of you are very close to being able to break through this and give up having any fixed beliefs. You can literally, if you are willing, look at yourself and say: “What beliefs, what mental images do I have that I think are true, that are accurate, that are factual, that are real, that are however you see it? What do I have that I am reluctant to question? What do I have where I would have a negative feeling if that belief was not validated, but was threatened or even proven wrong? How would I feel if my belief in the earth being flat was proven wrong?” I trust none of you believe this, but for the sake of example: “How would I feel?” And then you can realize that this outer belief is keeping you trapped at a certain level of consciousness, but it is also preventing you from being the open door for the Christ.
You see what I said earlier, you have to have a structure in your mind, right? So, you will say: “I am a nuclear physicist. I believe in the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics. Every time someone makes a decision, an entirely new universe is created, where there is both the one option chosen and the other option chosen. Therefore, innumerable versions of the universe exist simultaneously.” Now you are rising, you are close to Christhood, you are beginning to feel some flow and maybe in other areas where you are neutral, the Christ mind can flow through you, because there you are not seeking validation for a particular belief. But when it comes to nuclear physics, which is actually where you have the greatest expertise, the Christ cannot flow because you are only looking for validation of the many worlds interpretation, and you are not open to other possibilities. And this you can examine in yourself, and you can come to that point where you begin to see this. That many of you are very close to being the open door, but you have one or few beliefs that you are very attached to, and therefore, the Christ cannot flow freely, or cannot perhaps flow at all in a certain area.
Open your mind to the Golden Age of Saint Germain
You see what I have said many times about my golden age. The golden age that I envision is far beyond current conditions. That means that if you take my highest vision of the golden age and compare it to today, there is hardly anything on earth that would remain unchanged if we manifested that ultimate vision. There would be a few mountains, the oceans but certainly there is no aspect of human knowledge that would remain unchanged when the golden age is manifest. That means whatever knowledge you have, you may be a nuclear physicist, you may have studied nuclear physics your whole life, you may have experimented, you may have run the particle accelerator at CERN, and you may feel that you are at the top of your field. Yet no knowledge that you have today would be seen as valid in the golden age because physicists, or whatever we should call them, they would not even be called physicists at that time, would have a completely different worldview.
And how could that worldview be brought into conscious awareness of people? Well, somebody has to receive it from the Christ mind, from my mind, the flow through my mind. But in order to receive it, well, there must be room in the inn for the Christ to be born. There must be an openness to receive an idea and if you are attached to the validation of a particular theory, or belief, or world image, you are not the open door so
I must try and find someone else. But can I find someone who has the expertise, the experience, the background that you have? Well, in some cases I can, in some cases not but that is not even the point. The point is, what did you define in your Divine plan for the contribution you want to make to the manifestation of my golden age?
I can guarantee you that when you made your Divine plan, you did not define: “I want to come into embodiment and have Saint Germain validate this belief.” You defined: “I want to be the open door for Saint Germain to bring forth new ideas and I see that I have certain beliefs I am attached to from past lives, so I need to put myself in a situation where those beliefs are challenged, so I have the biggest opportunity to let go of them so I can be that open door.”
Get on with it. Open the door! Open your mind! Do not tell me how to manifest my golden age. If you want to manifest a golden age, I suggest you ascend and find yourself an unascended planet where you can be the hierarch for the coming 2,000 year period. I have no problem with that. But you do recognize, do not you, that you are not ascended so do not be like Peter. I am not quite as dramatic as Jesus, I do not want to say: “Get thee…” and you know the rest.
Initiation at the 96th level
You see, there will be some time after you reach the 96th level, you overcome the focus on self, you are going through an interim period. I am not saying that at the 96th level you need to be the completely open door but what I am saying is that in order to overcome the focus on self, you have to overcome your attachment to certain beliefs. Why? Because what are you doing at the 96th level? You are taking the self that you built from the 48th to the 96th level, your sense of self as an advanced spiritual student, and you are letting it die and that self has attachments to certain beliefs. They were constructive for you because they drove you to reach higher in consciousness but now there comes a point where they are a millstone around your neck. You see, if you are wondering: “Have I passed the initiation at the 96th level? Am I the living Christ? Have I overcome the focus on self?”—Look at your beliefs and ideas. Are there any that you are attached to?—Well, then you have not overcome the focus on self because you have not let the self die.
You have not been willing to let your sense of sophistication, your sense of knowing better than Christ, as Peter demonstrated, you have not been willing to let it die and be reborn as a babe in Christ: “I can of my own self do nothing. I can of my own self know nothing. I can of my own self define nothing, the Christ within me doeth the work.”
This is a necessary period to free yourself completely from all remnants so that you can begin to relate to your I AM Presence and your ascended masters instead of relating to the earth. There will still be some remnants as you climb beyond the 96th level but once you have let that self die, it is far easier for you to gradually identify them and let go of them because you are not attached to them. Your sense of self is not based on it.
Look at how many people in the world are attached to a certain belief. Look at these people who believe the earth is flat and who spend most of their attention arguing why this is a fact. Look at fundamentalist Christians who spend all of their lives trying to argue why the Bible is the literal word of God. Or Muslims, or Communists, or scientific materialists, or whatever you have. They base their sense of identity on their beliefs, on certain beliefs that are formulated here on earth.
The rest of this dictation, along with an invocation based on the dictation, is found in the book: Making a Difference in a Turbulent World.
