Ascended Master Master MORE through Kim Michaels, January 5, 2025. This dictation was given during the 2025 New Year’s Webinar: Accelerate yourself and the planet with the Masters of the Fourth Ray.

I AM the Ascended Master MORE and naturally it is my task to inaugurate this 12-year cycle on these lines of the Psychological Clock as it is beginning with the First Ray.

The drive to be more

The purpose of this clock is, of course, to help people resolve psychology individually and collectively. Therefore, we need to take a look at the First Ray from a more psychological perspective. We need to recognize here that when the Creator decided to create a world of form, create self-aware extensions of itself starting with a point-like sense of self and giving them imagination and free will, the Creator knew that it is possible that beings can experiment with their free will and get stuck. That is why the Creator created, defined, the Christ consciousness as the source of all form and built into the Christ consciousness the drive to be more. Ultimately this drive to be more, of course, leads you to reach the Creator consciousness in which you can fully appreciate and experience your Creator. But at the more immediate level when a new life-stream starts out with that point-like sense of self, it is experienced as a drive to be more because a new life-stream cannot conceive of the Creator or even attaining the Creator consciousness.

We know well that when we talk about attaining the Creator consciousness, many people on earth cannot conceive of this either, but at least some of the more spiritual people can lock into what this means. But for the vast majority of humankind, they are not ready to even contemplate that they could grow to that consciousness. And then of course we have the fallen beings who believe that they have already attained a god-like state of consciousness where they know better than the Creator. Yet for most people, as I said, for most life-streams, they experience this built-in drive to be more.

How we co-create

Now you may say that you are designed to be co-creators, so you have a drive to co-create. But what does it mean to create something? Well, it means to create something that is not there now, meaning true creativity is to create something that is more than was there before. Now how do you create something that is more than was there before?

Shifting from passive observer to active co-creator

Now take the situation as we have explained. As a new life-stream, you have a point-like sense of self. Therefore, you have limited abilities to co-create because co-creation requires you to envision something with what we have described as the conceptual mind and then project that upon the matter-light. If you were in a completely empty environment, you would not know where to begin this process. That is why a co-creator is placed in an environment that is already created by beings with a higher level of consciousness than the new co-creator, namely, in your case, the Elohim who created this unascended sphere, including planet earth in its original form. A new co-creator is placed in an environment.

Now a new co-creator is able to observe its environment and it usually takes some time for a new co-creator to get used to its environment. In other words, a co-creator does not get a running start and immediately on day one starts to co-create. Most co-creators have to orient themselves, experience their environment and try to gain some insight into how their environment works, what is possible in that environment. Of course, you are not placed alone in that environment, so there are other people you can interact with and therefore, discuss and learn from each other. But you also, in the original pure state, you have access to spiritual teachers, the ascended masters, who can teach you about your environment as you become curious and willing to ask questions, for you are not forced to learn from us.

We now have a co-creator who has taken some time, become accustomed to its environment. And a co-creator clearly experiences that it did not create the environment it is in. It was created by some larger minds and the co-creator was placed there. In the beginning, the co-creator sees itself as an observer, as an experiencer, and it can take some time for a new co-creator to consider itself as a co-creator who has the ability to create something.

What does it take to make this shift? Well, it takes that you tune into the Christ mind in yourself and the drive to be more. In a sense, there is a possibility that a new co-creator could come to a point where it has gotten used to its environment, it is enjoying being in its environment, and it simply sees itself as an observer, as an experiencer of that environment. And it could not even conceive that it could bring forth something that it cannot observe. In other words, creativity means that you go beyond just observing your environment and what is already created, to envisioning that you could create something more and in order to make that shift from passively observing, experiencing your environment, to actively co-creating it, you need the Christ mind.

The co-creators on earth

Now, of course, a new co-creator on a natural planet has access to the Christ mind but it still requires a choice from the co-creator. When we look at earth, we have explained to you that there were originally three waves of lifestreams, new co-creators, that took embodiment on earth in succession, of course. Most of those first three waves lifestreams participated in a co-creative process, made the switch to be co-creators, and most of them eventually ascended. We have also explained that the first wave descended to the identity realm, the second to the mental realm, the third to the emotional realm and then the fourth wave of lifestreams descended to the physical realm and took physical bodies.

Now, because the physical realm is the densest, there are still today some of these original inhabitants of the earth from the fourth wave who have not made the switch to see themselves as co-creators. Certainly, it was more difficult for the fourth wave than the previous three because of the density of the physical realm. But earth was a natural planet. It was not an unnatural planet, as you see today. The difference is so big that you can barely imagine it and that most people could not at all accept it. Because the kind of nature, the kind of life forms you see on the physical planet today were not there when the earth was in its natural state. There were bodies, but they were in a much more pure form. Even though it was more difficult for the fourth wave than the first three, it was not nearly as difficult for them as it is today. But there were still many of them that did not make that switch of actually accepting themselves as co-creators.

Denying the drive to be more

Now, when that happens, and it has of course happened on other planets throughout the history of this unascended sphere, when that happens, what happens is that, as we have said, your lifestream is actually created out of the Christ consciousness. Built into your lifestream, your I AM Presence, is the drive to be more. This means that, as I said, in order to make the switch and accept yourself as a co-creator, as opposed to a passive observer, you have to make a decision. Well, in order to not make that switch, you also have to make a decision. You have to find a way to deny, to ignore, to explain away the inbuilt drive to be more. You have to come to create, with a conceptual mind, a self-image that you are not a co-creator. Now this is possible on a natural planet. It has happened on a number of natural planets. But what always happens is that some people, some lifestreams, decide to make the switch and accept themselves as co-creators, and others do not. This means you now have a mixture of those who are creative and those who are not, those who are denying or at least postponing their creativity.

Development on earth

What happens is that those who are choosing to deny their creativity cannot avoid observing that other people in their environment are being creative. Again, they have to come up with this explanation in their minds for why they are not being creative, they are not transcending themselves. The question now becomes how far this goes on a planet. There are different scenarios on different planets, but let us focus on earth. There was this fourth wave of lifestreams, all started out with the same potential but a majority of these lifestreams chose to remain passive and a minority chose to be creative. These co-creators did bring forth many new things on earth, and this meant that even at the physical level on earth, there was a clear progression. Life became more organized, societies began to form. This was before recorded history, mind you, but if you look at it, at what you have seen in recorded history, you can go back to the Stone Age, where you had these very small groups of people. And then gradually, over time, into the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and so forth, larger groups of people formed, they became more organized. You eventually saw the formation of certain, what we can call civilizations, that were quite sophisticated. This is similar to what happened on the original natural earth, only of course at a higher level.

Formation of the creative elite

What you saw was that there was this formation of what we could call an elite, a creative elite, that raised civilization, raised societies, to a much higher level of organization, sophistication, culture, and so forth. What they did not have, when the earth was a natural planet, was armies, or even a police force, because it was not necessary. But the point I am making here is that you saw a clear division between the creative elite and the majority of the population who became followers of the creative elite. Then after more time had passed, there started to appear even a division in the creative elite, where there were those who saw themselves not just as co-creators who were here to co-create on earth, but locked into the potential to raise their consciousness and even ascend from earth. And there were also those among the creative elite who came to see themselves as leaders of the people. You saw in a sense a division in the creative elite between those who started focusing on the spiritual aspect of life and those who started focusing on the more physical, worldly aspect of life. Again, this is by no means the same that you see on earth today, but you can compare it to having a division between a religious organization with a hierarchy of religious people and a worldly organization with worldly leaders such as kings and emperors. This is what you saw starting to happen in these societies as they became more sophisticated.

Ascension of the spiritual elite

Now what then started to happen after some time was that those who became what we might call the spiritual elite, as opposed to the worldly or secular elite, they became more and more connected to the Christ mind. They integrated, united with the Christ mind, and therefore, they did not see themselves as an elite. This is just a term I am using to illustrate. They began to lock into their potential to ascend and then there came a point where a very large part, a majority of these, the spiritual elite, actually ascended from earth within a relatively short period of time. Who was left to run society? Well, the worldly elite. But when the spiritual elite ascended, what started happening was that what scientists call the second law of thermodynamics, became activated at a higher level than it had been before. We can say that when the original inhabitants, many of them, decided to deny their creativity, then the second law of thermodynamics was activated. But because there were so many people that were still being creative on earth and striving to grow spiritually, the second law of thermodynamics did not lead to a breakdown in society.

The breakdown of society

When the creative elite, the spiritual elite, ascended, there was not the creative spiritual people to counteract the second law, which then meant that society started breaking down. Now the solution to this would of course have been that some of the worldly elite would transform themselves into becoming spiritually focused and some among the people would transform themselves into seeing themselves as co-creators. Then the breakdown of society could have been counteracted, so society was still transcending itself. But this did not happen in sufficient numbers, and therefore, these quite sophisticated civilizations started breaking down. And of course, the leaders could not understand why, and the people even less could understand why.

Now, what did the worldly elite do? Well, as I said, they had the potential to transcend themselves. We can go into all kinds of talks about why they did not, but the bottom line here is, they chose not to do so. And again, they had to explain to themselves why they did not. Then they had to explain to the people why the people did not have to transcend themselves. And therefore, they had to find a way to explain why society was breaking down, why society was deteriorating from its fairly high level to a lower level. What they did, what they chose to do, was that they came up with the explanation that there were natural processes on the earth that were so big that human beings could not counteract them. This means that they now shifted into a state of mind where even the worldly elite were not focused on being creative and transcending current conditions.

Seeking to maintain status quo

You understand here, I am assuming, that the second law is not a negative force. It is not a destructive force. It is only activated when there is not self-transcendence. The purpose of it is actually to awaken people to the need for self-transcendence, which is built into the Christ consciousness that they are created out of. It is not a destructive force; it is an opportunity for growth. But because so many among the worldly leaders and the people on earth were not willing to transcend themselves, they had to explain the second law so that they did not acknowledge that it was an opportunity for them and they explained it as an external force, this is simply the way the world is. What they actually shifted into was a state of mind where they saw creativity not as the key to growth, but as a threat to the status quo. Because as they started seeing civilization deteriorate, they became obsessed with maintaining what was there instead of transcending.

You see what the second law does. It seeks to maintain transcendence. When even a high civilization transcends itself, it is better for everyone. But when the second law is activated, it breaks down society that will not transcend itself so as to point out the need to get back to self-transcendence and creativity. But if people are not willing to do that, they shift into wanting to maintain status quo and prevent further breakdown. This is then, as we have explained before, what caused the emergence of these civilizations on earth that were fixated on maintaining status quo by preventing people from being creative, from being different. They wanted people to follow the norm, the standard for how you were supposed to be.

Leaders and their followers

There emerged this worldly elite who thought they had the power in their minds to define how the world actually works and there emerged this majority of the population who were not willing to activate their creative drive and therefore, they blindly followed the worldly leaders. It was not that they did not have warnings. There were still some spiritual people in embodiment, but they gradually became ostracized from society because they were seen as a threat. Again, this was different from what you have seen in recorded history, but it is parallel to Jesus appearing in Palestine and the people rejected him and wanted a murderer rather than the Living Christ to be released.

Fallen beings and avatars

This is then what led to the point where a self-destructive spiral had been created where the second law would have broken down not only civilization, but it could even have gone to the point where the planet had disintegrated. That was when the ascended masters then decided to allow two groups of lifestreams to embody here, the fallen beings as one, avatars as another. We have given many teachings on this, so I will not go into it more here. If it is a new concept to you, you need to study our previous teachings.

The earth today

The point for this long explanation is to show you that when you look at the earth today, you see that there is still a majority of the population who are the original inhabitants of the earth and who never activated their creative drive and made the switch to accept themselves as co-creators. This is a condition that is not created by the fallen beings. It is created by the choices, or lack of choices, of the original inhabitants in the physical realm. But it has of course been greatly reinforced by the fallen beings. Because the fallen beings have, by and large, replaced the worldly elite that was there when the fallen beings came to earth. They have set themselves up as the leaders because they are absolutely convinced that they can define how the world works. Now, as we have said, you never allow just one fallen being to descend on a planet. You allow a number of them, so you can be sure they form dualistic polarities and therefore end up fighting each other. And this is what breaks up the monotony, or the sameness, that you saw on earth.

The initiations in 2025

What is the point for telling you all of this? Well, it is to show you that the initiations that humankind will be facing, in this year of 2025, is precisely the initiation of will people make this shift and see themselves as creative beings or will they continue to deny their built-in creativity and seek to maintain status quo? And you can see that this is a development that has been going on for some time on earth, obviously, but the descent of the light from the archangels and Elohim will greatly accelerate this development.

The will to experiment

The only way that humankind can pass the initiations of this coming year is through creativity. But how are you creative? Well, you need to first accept yourself as a creative being who has a creative potential. You have to develop the will to experiment. Experimentation is the source of creativity.

What does that mean? Well, if you are not willing to experiment, you are looking at current conditions and you are saying: “Oh this is just the way it is, nothing can be changed, nothing can be done about it—certainly not by me.” And then you become afraid that you can lose what you have and you seek to hold on to it. Even if it is very little, even if it is causing you the suffering, the tension, the sense that you are oppressed, that things could be better, you still seek to hold on to what little you have, because you are afraid that you could lose it, and things could get worse. In other words, you are looking at current conditions and thinking this is the only way things can be, this is the way things have to be, this is the way God created it, this is the way the natural laws created it, or whatever it may be that is your ideological explanation for this.

And the fallen beings, of course, want to keep people in that state because this allows the fallen beings to control them and get people to follow them blindly. They are reinforcing this view that the majority of the people are not creative beings, they are powerless, and they need the fallen beings to lead them and tell them how to live, what is possible, what is not possible. In order to be creative, you have to accept that you have a potential, and then you have to look at current conditions, and as other masters have explained, ask yourself, is this the only way things could be? Is this the natural way? Is this unavoidable? Could there be something else? You need to be willing to imagine, to conceptualize, a state that is not manifest now. This is the essence of creativity. You are looking at conditions in your environment, you are feeling the drive that they could be more, and you use the conceptual mind, your imagination, to envision something that is more. You cannot do this if you are attached to the status quo, to current conditions, if you believe that is all that is possible. You cannot do this if you are in the fallen consciousness because, as a fallen being, you cannot be creative.

More of vs. more than

This may sound contradictory, because you may point to world leaders in history who have been fallen beings but who have achieved supposedly great things, such as expanding the Roman Empire or creating an advanced civilization with huge buildings and this and that. But this is not creativity, because it is not looking at current conditions and envisioning that they could be more than they are. You see, we have explained before, there is more of and there is more than. And fallen beings are perfectly capable of envisioning that they could have more riches, power, sex, luxury, control. They are perfectly able to visualize this, but this is not creativity. This is just more volume, more quantity, not an improvement of quality.

Rethinking creativity

What you will see in this coming year is that people will be challenged to rethink creativity, to rethink status quo, to ask these questions. Is this all our lives can be? If we are born in Russia, have grown up in Russia, have been exposed to Russian society, have been oppressed, are afraid to speak out and even afraid to have an opinion about the future of our society, is this all our lives can be? Do we have a choice to either submit to current conditions in Russia, or leave the country, as many have done, the creative people have done? If we have grown up in a poor part of the United States, is that all life can be? Can we do something ourselves to improve our lives, or do we need to look for the strong leader, whether he is called Donald or something else, who will do it for us?

Who can we help?

This is the challenge in 2025. Many people will, of course, not even notice this challenge. But I am giving you this long explanation because I want you to grasp, as the spiritual people, as ascended master students, that there is a large part of the population on earth that you cannot help. There is no point in making calls or invocations for them. But there is a part of the population that you can help. First of all, there are avatars who have been so burdened by their birth trauma that they do not see themselves as creative beings anymore, that they have in many cases almost given up on life on earth. You can make the calls, hold the vision to awaken them. But there are also those among the original inhabitants who have grown and who, therefore, have the potential to make the switch I am talking about ask the questions, consider what could be done better.

I am not saying that all of them will be ready to look at what could be better in civilization overall or in a particular society, but many of them are least willing to consider that there are some aspects of their personal life or some aspect of their work life that they could improve, where they could be creative, bring forth something new that is qualitatively better than what is there now. It does not really matter what it is. It can be, as the popular saying goes, to invent a better mousetrap or a more comfortable form of toilet paper. It does not matter, as long as it activates the creative drive where people make the shift and realize: Oh, there is something I can do. There is something creative I can bring forth.” And this is what you can make calls for, hold the vision for.

Questioning the status quo

Creativity is locking in to the drive to be more that is built into the Christ consciousness. Locking in to the fact that you, in yourself, in your own being, have a drive to be more. And then activating that drive by looking at current conditions, being willing to use your imagination to conceptualize something that is better than what is there now.

Now, it may not be that all people need to bring forth something new and creative. There are many people who can accept the creativity of others, support the creativity of others, and accept that certain things are possible. As we have said before, how could democracy come into being? Democracy cannot be forced upon people who are not ready for it, which the American experiment in Iraq has proven. There must be a critical mass of people that come to the point where they accept that a better form of government than tyranny is possible, and that it could actually function. Well, the same way, in order for new forms of energy to be brought forth, there must be a critical mass of people who can accept that it is possible, and who will not buy into the fallen beings’ propaganda that this ‘free energy’ is a completely ridiculous idea, that is in contradiction to the laws of nature, of the preservation of energy.

There is no law of the preservation of energy on a cosmic scale, because everything in the material realm is created from energy from a higher realm that has been reduced in vibration. There is, on a very local scale, as the First Law of Thermodynamics talks about, a certain preservation of energy. But at the larger scale, there is no preservation of energy. There is an inexhaustible supply of energy in higher realms that is just waiting to be reduced and expressed in the material, physical realm.

What we look forward to seeing, in this coming year, is that more and more people will open their minds to new ways of looking at current conditions, looking beyond current conditions, looking beyond status quo, challenging, questioning status quo. And you, of course, can do this yourselves by studying whatever topic appeals to you. Study what is there. Use your intuition to tune in to us so we can give you new ideas of something that is possible that is not there right now.

But at least you can hold the vision and make the calls that those who have expertise in a certain area will be willing to think beyond. For example, thinking beyond the materialistic paradigm, thinking beyond what is politically possible, even that people in the Muslim world can think beyond the Sharia law and can dare to think that Islam could actually progress. If this happens to a critical degree, then the earth will make it successfully through 2025 without any major negative events. If this does not happen to a critical degree, then there will be various events that will shake up people’s view that the status quo can be maintained.

Freeing people from limiting conditions

You understand that this is not some form of punishment. It is not out of a desire for destruction. It is actually out of a desire to free people from the state of mind that keeps them imprisoned in current conditions. Why are they imprisoned in current conditions? You take this prison that was discovered in Syria, where there were people who had been kept there for years, in the same cell, that had no windows, they were living in darkness. Would you say that breaking down the doors to that prison and letting people out was an act of destruction or was a threat to these people? Well, for some of them, it was a shock to go out into the bright daylight. For some of them, it is still a shock psychologically, to adjust to life where suddenly they have to make choices. But was it really detrimental to free them rather than to allow them to stay there for the rest of their lives? But you can see that there are people on earth today, many populations, who are living in oppressive situations, limited situations, but they do not even acknowledge that they are imprisoned. They think life could not be any different. And they will see it as a threat, as a negative, that current conditions are challenged or break down. But is it, from a larger perspective, a negative?

The force of Shiva vs. spoilers

You have in the traditional Hindu mythology, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, the Creator, the maintainer and the destroyer. But Shiva is not the destroyer. Shiva is the liberator, who destroys current conditions in order to liberate the souls, the lifestreams that are trapped in those conditions. In a sense, you could say all ascended masters are part of the force of Shiva. In a sense, you could say all creative people are part of the force of Shiva. What you cannot say is that the fallen beings are part of the force of Shiva, for they are not seeking to break down current conditions in order to liberate the people. They are seeking to keep the people under control, even more control, or they are in the category of the spoilers that are simply seeking to destroy. And therefore, they too will be subject to the second law. Their power, their hold on power, will break down.

You will see this among leaders around the world who are in this state of mind, thinking they know best. Those who are most intent on maintaining their power, maintaining their self-image, they are the ones who think they know best, better than the people, many of them even better than God. And their vision that they know best must also be challenged. And it will be challenged by themselves, by the fact that they are in the duality consciousness where they will polarize and become more and more extreme, more and more unbalanced, therefore more and more contradictory in their behavior, in their viewpoints, in their statements, in their policies, until it finally becomes so pronounced that more and more people will begin to see it.

I do not need to name names here. You already know some of the people I am talking about. But there are many more that we have never mentioned. There are, for example, those in the scientific, materialistic establishment, whose materialistic worldview will be challenged. There are those in the traditional religions whose worldview will be challenged.

You may think I sound serious, perhaps stern, but as other masters have said, I am really joyful about this development because I see the potential. I see the potential to liberate so many people who are today trapped. And truly, I know something about being trapped. In my embodiment as Thomas More, I was imprisoned by the king and then I was executed. There is a story that I joked on the way up the scaffold because I actually saw my execution as a liberation because I saw that there was no way to change the status quo in that situation. But today, there is much more possibility to change the status quo. And this is what I hope that you can lock into so that you can see this as an opportunity and not as a threat. So that no matter what happens, you can see it as an opportunity, as the work of Shiva, that breaks down in order to liberate.

Locking into the positive

The Christ consciousness is in everything. Right now, the Christ consciousness is crucified in matter, on earth, in so many ways. Jesus’ crucifixion just being a symbol of the Christ consciousness being crucified in matter. Even the breakdown of the cross is a liberation of the Christ consciousness. If you can lock into that, you can navigate not only this coming year, but many coming years, and maintain a positive attitude where you see beyond the events that are happening. We tried to help you do this with the corona pandemic. Some of you did, some of you did not, but you still have another opportunity now to lock into the positive, to lock into the opportunity, to the potential for growth. And if you can do this, you can make your own life much more enjoyable. And you can unlock your creativity so you can improve your own life, even help improve society.

Naturally, I could go on almost indefinitely. But I will restrain myself, being satisfied that I have given you the impetus I wanted to give here, and then, perhaps, I will give more teachings through this year, about how you can help society make this transition from status quo to the willingness to experiment, from holding on to status quo to being willing to experiment in order to manifest something that is more.

With that, I seal you in the joy of Master More. My joy is full, but that does not mean it is static, for my joy is always more—more full.
