Ascended Master Archangel Michael through Kim Michaels, October 19, 2024. This dictation was given during the Webinar for America 2024: Invoking a Positive Vision for America.

I AM the Ascended Master Archangel Michael, and I first of all want to thank you on behalf of myself and beloved Astrea for having put us to work. It is unprecedented in this dispensation that so many people have given these calls, both to Astrea and myself, along with the invocations, and been so precise in mentioning specifics that we can go after.

Clearing out the higher realms

You understand, my beloved, that we cannot interfere with people’s free will. We have no desire to interfere with people’s free will. However, people’s free will is not free because so many people, the vast majority of people in the world, have their minds influenced by these demons and entities and fallen beings in the emotional, mental, and identity realm. The free will of human beings in embodiment does not extend to the emotional, mental and identity realms, at least not to the beings who are seeking to manipulate people there. Therefore, when you make these calls, we are authorized to go in and clear out the emotional, mental, and identity realms from the beings that you have given us the authority to clear out.

Therefore, I can assure you that if you could see what is happening right now and will be happening in the next days, you would see that we have sent millions of angels into these realms, with their swords, with their circles of light, and they are clearing out these lower beings, almost like ghosts that are being taken away. You could say that Astrea and myself are the original ghostbusters, and I can assure you that our angels are busting away right now to clear out these realms. This is an unprecedented action, and it gives the American people and many people around the world an unprecedented opportunity to have a clearer vision, a clearer understanding, a clearer grasp of what is happening. Let me say also that this is not just limited to America. Naturally, you who are the Russian-speaking group and you who are in Korea, you have also authorized us to clear out your countries, and especially North Korea and other forces around the world where the forces of war are seeking to create conflicts and warfare, and so this is a very significant action, and you have our undivided gratitude for this.

The power elite in America

Now, I want to give you a little bit more of a perspective of what is happening in America. As you will see from some of these invocations that you have given, one of the big problems in America, right now, and of course, over a long period of time, has been elitism. The fact that there is a power elite that since the very beginning, but especially since the late 1800s, have been attempting to control America, especially through the economy, the financial system, and thereby indirectly also by buying influence on the political system. This is, of course, what we have many times called the power elite. Although we do not wish to be too specific about who these people are, you have certainly mentioned some, and this has allowed us to clear out the forces that are behind them. Because you realize, as we have told you many times, that the people in physical embodiment would have relatively little power if they did not have the backing or the influence or the energy from these dark forces and fallen beings in the emotional, mental, and identity realms. Their ability to act would be much more limited, and so by clearing out their backers, so to speak, you take away a lot of their power, and of course, what you also take away is this veil of illusion, this veil of ignorance that they hide behind.

A sine wave of the upward moment

Now, if we step back a little bit and look back throughout history, we see that for a long time, if you look at recorded history, there has been a certain upward movement. There has been progress here and there, where you see, for example, the emergence of democracy, the scientific breakthroughs, the emergence of greater and greater wealth and prosperity for a greater and greater part of the population. You see a move towards more equality, more equal opportunity, where you are not born into a certain station where you are condemned to stay there as a worker or a slave for the rest of your life, but there is more freedom to determine your own destiny. This is, of course, not what the power elite wants, so they are doing whatever they can to slow down, manipulate, abort or take advantage of this process. Now, you may say, if the movement is towards more freedom, democracy and equality, how can the elite take advantage of this? Well, that is precisely what I will explain to you.

Even though, as I say, there has been an upward movement in world history, and I am not here talking about the previous eight years, where there has also been some big downturns, but for this discussion, I am looking at an upward movement. However, this upward movement is not a steady upward growth. It is, as we have talked about before, a sine wave, that you have all seen the drawings of this with the ups and the downs, the peaks and the troughs. Now, this sine wave, however, does not go horizontally, it goes upward in an angle, but there are still peaks and troughs. There are periods where it seems like things are going forward, and there can be great optimism in the world, and then there is a peak, and then things start sliding downwards, and it often leads to the spread of a certain pessimism, at least among a certain group of the population.

What I am saying is this. The upward movement that you have seen for a very long time now does progress in these cycles, ups and downs. This is not inevitable. As we move further into the golden age, they will eventually disappear. But in a period that we have right now, where we are in a transition phase towards the golden age, where the collective consciousness is as low as it is, the energies in the emotional, mental, and identity realms are as dense as they are, it is inevitable that there will be the ups and downs, even though there is a general progression. Many among the power elite do not, of course, consciously understand that there is this upward progression. They do not wish to acknowledge it. They are just looking at how they can take advantage of it. But there are those more sophisticated ones, few in embodiment, but more in the identity realm, who understand that even though they cannot stop the upward progression, they can take advantage of both the ups and the downs in the cycle.

Taking advantage of the cycles – an upward cycle

What the power elite, or at least the power elite in the identity realm and to some degree in the mental realm, are seeking to do is to take advantage of the upward cycle in a way that when things are moving upward, when the economy is growing, I am not talking necessarily globally, but in certain countries, then these fallen beings seem to make use of what you can call the middle class, because they know that when things are going well, when things are growing and expanding, it is primarily because of the middle class. They are working, they are innovating, they are starting businesses, and they are expanding the economy.

In an upward cycle, the power elite has relatively little interest in the lower part of the population, what you might call the working class, to use a somewhat outdated expression. But those who are not as well educated, who are primarily looking for a job, looking for a steady job, not seeking to innovate, not seeking to start their own business, these have in an upward cycle relatively little interest for the power elite.

What they are seeking to do in an upward cycle is to get the middle class to help the power elite make as much money as possible. You can see this in what is called the Roaring Twenties, where those among the middle class who could invest in the stock market, for example, and then this actually helped drive this cycle of uncontrolled speculation that led to the crash in 1929. You can see a similar thing in the 1990s and 2000s, even going back further, where the middle class was investing, starting to invest their pension money, and this led again to this unsustainable expansion in the financial markets that led to the crash of 2008. If we look at the current cycle, we will say that in the decades leading up to 2008, there was an upward movement. Yet 2008 marked the start of the downturn, the start of, it was the peak, and now things started sliding down into one of these natural lows.

It was not that anybody necessarily did anything to make this happen, other than you could say that the power elite, the top people who control the economy, they got blinded by this belief that they could make unlimited amounts of money, and therefore they made the same mistake that they made in the 1920s. What I am saying is, there was not anybody who deliberately plotted to destroy the economy. It happened largely out of blindness.

The downward cycle

However, what happens is that when a peak is reached and the downturn starts, then the power elite no longer wants to manipulate or influence the middle class. The reason for this is a little bit complex, but let me, as an example, use Marxism. What was it that Marx did? He defined that the enemy of the changes that were necessary was the bourgeoisie, or what you today would call the middle class. The enemy of the Marxist revolution. But what is Marxism? Well, we might say that capitalism is a movement that takes advantage of the upward climb towards the peak. But Marxism is a movement designed to take advantage of the downward slide from the peak to the trough.

This is directed by fallen beings in the identity realm who are working in tandem, in unison, seeing these cycles, and seeking to take advantage of them. Now, again, this is not something that happens all over the world at the same time, but you will see the general tendency. During the uphill climb, when everything is going well and the economy is expanding, everybody is a capitalist. But then, in the downward climb, capitalism suddenly becomes questioned because it did not produce what it promised—unrestricted, unending growth. Now, what happens is that the power elite who started Marxism, they now start taking advantage of the downward cycle. This does not mean that they start promoting Marxism today because they have realized that with the fall of the Soviet Union, that cycle was over. They could not use the Marxist-communist ideology anymore because it had relatively little appeal, even though there are still some hybrid forms of Marxism in China, you could argue. Nevertheless, in the West, of course, this does not have the necessary appeal.

But what was it that made Marxism take hold in Russia? Well, it was that you had an extremely unequal society where the Tsar and the noble class had a very affluent lifestyle and the vast majority of the people had a very low, very poor lifestyle. What happened was that gradually this inequality in the wealth distribution reached a breaking point. This is what sets the stage for revolutions. But who was it that the Marxists catered to, to get them to take part in the revolution, to get them to fight? Well, it was primarily the lower classes, the uneducated, the peasants, the workers, those who did not have much initiative. But what did they have? They had anger. Anger, when it is stirred up and given a specific direction, can, as you can see from world history, be a very powerful force that can get people to act. What is the best way for the fallen beings to stir up people’s anger and direct it into action? It is to point out that their current misery is not caused by them. It is not a result of their own state of consciousness. It is not a result of what they are projecting into the cosmic mirror. It is caused by those specific other people. And if only we get rid of those specific other people, we will have a much better society.

This is what the fallen beings do. On the upswing, they cater to the middle class, who have a dream of one day becoming the upper class by investing, making the easy money that they see the upper class making, so that they themselves can become rich. Then, when that dream cracks, as it inevitably will, because the fallen beings can never stop themselves from overheating the economy, then the other group of fallen beings step in, and now they begin to work with, through the identity, mental, and especially through the emotional realm, with the lower part of the population.

During the upswing, nobody is really that concerned about the lower part of the population. Because it seems like, especially in a capitalist country like the United States, that they will do better when the entire economy does better. This is the eternal promise that “the rising tide lifts all boats”. There is this sense that is promoted by neoliberalism in the United States that, as long as the economy keeps expanding, we do not need to worry about the lower classes, because it will take care of itself. But, once the downturn happens, it becomes more obvious to the lower classes that they are going to be left behind, because they are much worse off than the middle class, who at least have something, even though their standard of living is also being eroded.

The anger and the scapegoat

Now, the dark forces will do everything they can to stir up the anger of the lower parts of society, those who are uneducated, those who do not have the initiative to start their own business, those who are not willing to look at themselves and say: “How can I change myself, how can I change my psychology, so I can have a better life for myself?” And they start working with these people, and what do they do? The same thing they did in pre-revolutionary Russia and revolutionary Russia. They stir up the anger by giving them a scapegoat, an easy target. As you see in the United States right now, the primary scapegoat is immigrants, illegal immigrants, who come into America, take people’s jobs, eat their dogs and cats, and create all kinds of problems. Therefore, if we just create mass deportations, get rid of all these illegal immigrants, there will be plenty of jobs for the lower classes, and a wonderful society will come about.

There is of course another scapegoat, and that is those who are the liberals, the “lefties”, the government apparatus, in other words, the middle class, the bourgeoisie. Not thereby saying that everybody in the middle class is an enemy of the lower people, but many certainly are seen that way because they are doing better than the lower people. And the lower people, do not understand that this is because the middle class have educated themselves, have taken initiative, have worked on themselves: “How do I become a better business person? What do I have in my psychology that I need to change in order to become a better business person or get a better job or get ahead?” They have asked themselves the questions that the lower classes will not ask themselves. You see that there is this polarization where you have a large group of people in America whose primary engagement in politics is driven by anger. And they have been given a seemingly easy target for their anger.

But what did the Soviet Union prove for those who are willing to see? It proved that if you get rid of all those who are willing to take initiative and instead take all of the people who are not willing to take initiative, who only want to follow orders, who are not particularly intelligent, not particularly well educated, and you take all of these people and put them in charge of society, well, what happens? Well, gradually, society becomes dysfunctional. And it has a much lower standard of living than in a more free society. Now, here is where the difficulty comes in because there are those who will look back at the Soviet Union and they will look at how the peasants lived in tsarist Russia, and they will say that they had a better standard of living during Soviet times than before Soviet times. And in a sense, they are right. However, was that because of communism? Because it is still a fact that the working class in the Soviet Union had a much lower standard of living than the working class in the West. But you see, many believed in this because they thought that if we just get rid of those bad people, we will have a better society.

This is, in a sense, the essence of intolerance, scapegoating. “We do not need to look at ourselves. We do not need to look at the beam in our own eye, even though we claim to be Christians and go to church every once in a while. We just need to direct our anger against the scapegoat and vote for some politicians that will do something about the scapegoat. And then we will automatically have this utopian society.”

Looking for a simple solution

This is what you see going on in America, starting in 2008, and not being addressed by anyone, because neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party understand this dynamic, which, of course, is not said to blame anybody, because hardly anyone in physical embodiment understands this dynamic. But there are, of course, some, and there are certainly people in the United States, both politicians and economists, who have spoken out against the inequality in the income distribution and have seen this as a major destabilizing factor in American society. They have, however, not been heeded by any of the political parties.

I am not here saying that one party is the bad guy and the other has the perfect solution. None of the parties actually are capable of addressing this situation. But, of course, those who are driven by anger certainly cannot address it in an accurate way, because they are looking at society through black and white thinking. And in black and white thinking, you always think there is a simple way to look at the problem, and therefore, there is a simple solution. The problem is those people, get rid of those people, and we have the perfect society. If you look at world history, how many times has this been attempted? How many times has it actually worked? Can it actually work? No. Because what do you see? What do you see in societies? The more closed and closed-minded societies become, the more inefficient they become. The more they start to contract, the economy contracts. Whereas you see that the societies that grow the fastest are the ones that are most open.

In modern times, very few countries have grown as fast as the United States did in the 1800s, early 1900s. Very few countries. Why? Because America was open to new ideas. It was a rushing stream whereas the Soviet Union was a stagnant pond, as China is today, much more stagnant than many other societies. You see that what drives growth, what drives the upward cycle, is an openness to new ideas. But the problem is that if there is not discernment, Christ discernment, then this leads to an over-exuberant optimism that thinks: “Oh, the upward cycle can continue indefinitely on its present track. We just need to continue doing the same thing and we will get richer and richer.” This, as I said, is the fallen beings taking advantage of the middle class who are willing to invest, improve themselves, and they get pulled up by this enthusiasm. And then, when the natural, inevitable peak is reached and the downturn starts, then another group of fallen beings starts working with the lower classes, fueling their anger and giving them a scapegoat.

Creating chaos by fueling anger

The United States is by no means the only country where this has happened, is happening. I am simply pointing out the pattern there, the pattern of these natural, inevitable ups and downs. Well, they are not natural in the sense that they couldn’t be avoided. But as I said, in the current state, they are natural and inevitable. But the fallen beings, the more sophisticated ones of them, they seek to take advantage of both. Why? Well, first of all, because it always enriches themselves. But second of all, because they are trying to create chaos that will slow down the entire process of manifesting Saint Germain’s Golden Age, which, of course, has as one of its major goals, to get the fallen beings off the planet. They are simply trying to hang on for dear life, so to speak, by creating as much chaos as possible. This is, in a sense, what you see going on in the world right now. And this is another thing that they seek to do to prevent an upturn. Because 2008 was a peak that started a downturn. But now, we are at the point where it is time to start another upturn, another climb up. But the fallen beings are trying to do everything they can to stop this by creating chaos.

Now, you can mention, you can come up with all kinds of reasons why Putin invaded Ukraine, or why Hamas attacked Israel. Or why North Korea is rattling the saber. But behind it all is the fallen beings seeking to create chaos. And one of the ways they always do it is to fuel anger. What drove Hamas to attack Israel? You can mention outer reasons that they had for it. But really behind it was anger that reached a point where they could not hold it back. What drove Putin and those who support him to invade Ukraine? Well, there was an anger that things were not going his way, and something had to be done. You will see how many times the fallen beings have managed to inflate people’s anger and make them make choices that do not make sense, that are not rational, once they are seen from outside the bubble, the perception filter, the veil of illusion created by the anger. Because one thing is absolutely certain, which again you can see over and over again in world history. When people are blinded by anger, they cannot make good decisions.

Anger is an interesting—if we can use that word, emotion. Because fear is paralyzing. When people are afraid, they either become completely paralyzed so they cannot do anything, or they seek to protect themselves against a perceived danger. But when people shift from fear into anger, now they feel they have to take action. And it is so easy for the fallen beings to induce some irrational belief in people who are angry, that if only they do something to this other group of people, all of their problems will be solved. And they will have the kind of society where they do not have to be angry anymore.

But why are the lower classes angry? Because they know that society is moving away from them. They are being left behind. But why are they being left behind? Because they do not want to move up with society. They do not want to change their worldview, their attitude to life. They do not want to educate themselves. They do not want to look at their psychology and say: “How do I need to change so I can actually get a better job?” There are regions of the United States that are economically depressed. There are many people who live there who do not have a good outlook. It will be difficult for them to get good jobs. But you see, in many of those regions, it is not immigrants who are taking people’s jobs. There simply are not jobs in that region. Why? Partly in some cases for purely economic factors, but in many cases, because you have people there that are not good workers when seen from the perspective of someone considering where to place a factory. You could take all of the illegal immigrants out of there, but many of these depressed regions in the United States, they still would not get any jobs unless they moved to where the jobs are, which is what the immigrants are willing to do. The immigrants are also willing to educate themselves, to work hard, to say: “What do I need to do to get a better lifestyle?”

You see, anger comes from the sense of being powerless. But the sense of being powerless comes from an unwillingness to change, an unwillingness to look at yourself, to look at the beam in your own eye. Ironic that many of these people claim to be Christians and go to church every once in a while, pretending to do what Christians do. When Jesus actually told you to look at the beam in your own eye, instead of the splinter in the eyes of your brother, the scapegoat.

And so my beloved, I have given you the thoughts that I wanted to give you in this installment. I am not here by saying that what I have pointed out is the only problem in America, the only issue. But it is certainly something you can make calls on, as you have already done in these invocations and decrees.

Again, I and Astrea simply want to thank you for giving us our marching orders, and I will seal you in the love of my heart, because I have a lot more ghostbusting to do.
