Ascended Master Surya through Kim Michaels, August 9, 2025. This dictation was given at the 2025 Conference for America: Rising above the superiority-inferiority duality.
I AM the Ascended Master Surya. And although I do not speak often, I decided to take this opportunity to give a teaching that really does not directly relate to the topic of this conference. At least, not directly, but perhaps indirectly. What I wish to speak about here is the cosmic dance of the universe.
At Jesus’ time, people had a very limited worldview. Even up to modern times, they had a very limited worldview. It is only in the last century or so, with the appearance of technology that has allowed scientists to look deeper and deeper into the universe, that people have attained a more realistic view of the cosmos. Not a realistic view, but a more realistic view. I wish to push a little bit towards a more realistic view.
The impuls and the Matter-light
When you look at the universe, you can look at the galaxies, solar systems, planets, of how they are moving through what scientists call empty space. As some of them are beginning to realize, empty space is, of course, not empty. It is just filled with a substance that is not physical, not material. For if there was only emptiness, how could anything move through it? You know that sound, sound waves, propagate through some medium. Light rays, supposedly, scientists believe, can spread through empty space. But how does a wave spread if there is nothing that waves, nothing that oscillates?
You see that creation is based on, as Portia described, this differentiation into two, first. The expanding. The contracting. But we can look at this from a slightly different perspective and say the contracting element is the basic substance of creation. We have called it the Ma-ter light. This is what can wave, what can oscillate. The expanding force is that which moves through the Ma-ter light and sets it in a wave-like motion. It is actually not the highest view to say that light is a wave, nay. Light is an impulse, springing from the expanding force. And when it moves through the contracting element of the Ma-ter light, it generates a wave. Because the Ma-ter light is set in an oscillating movement, which you see as a wave.
This is how the physical universe was generated, by beings in a higher realm, using that expanding element to formulate a vision and project it upon the Ma-ter light, thereby setting the Ma-ter light in motion. And the Ma-ter light can move in two ways. A wave that is propagating through space. And a wave that is standing still, and therefore, becomes an energy field. In a sense, you could say it is all fields, it is just a matter of how they move. Because even what you on earth see as a stationary field, which you see as solid matter, such as planet earth, is of course moving.
This is something that you could not have explained to people even a century or two ago. They thought the earth was stationary. They did not have the ability to think in abstract ways and see that the earth is moving through space at an incredible speed. Going even further back, the ancients could see that the star constellations were moving in the sky, but they thought the sky was moving relative to the earth. But they still thought the heavens were immutable. But what I aim to convey to you is, nothing is immutable, nothing is unchanging. Everything is constantly changing in this cosmic dance that the Buddha called the interdependent originations and which Hinduists sometimes refer to as the dance of Shiva.
How the universe was created
Scientists today, as I said, have been able to look deeper into the physical universe than ever before, at least in recorded history. And they have begun to appreciate, first of all, how vast the universe is, how complex it is. But it is still as if for every new discovery there is a new mystery springing up. Lately, they have seen these galaxies that they think have formed so shortly after the big bang that it defies their traditional cosmology and time frame of how long it took. But they are reasoning that since these galaxies are so far from earth, they must have formed earlier than the galaxies who are closer to earth. But is that the case? Is that the only possible interpretation?
What have we described? Everything is made out of the Ma-ter light that takes on form, but the Ma-ter light does not take on form by itself. It moves when an impulse is directed at it from a higher realm. The galaxies that you see today, including your own, did not start forming when there was only supposedly cosmic dust produced by the big bang and hurled outwards. Your galaxy did not start with one speck of dust colliding with another speck of dust, colliding with a third speck of dust, continuing and continuing until specks of dust had formed this entire galaxy. The galaxies were started as a matrix held in the mind of beings in the ascended realm, and they were lowered into the material frequency spectrum through the power of the expanding force. They did not all come into the physical spectrum simultaneously. They came over some period of time. But nowhere near the time frame in the big bang theory.
What is time?
You cannot in any way, as some scientists are beginning to acknowledge, create a linear timeline from the big bang to today and say that at the time of the big bang, a second was the same length as the second is today. Time changes over time. In fact, everything changes over time. Or we could even say there was a time when there was no time. A time before time. For what is time? It is a movement through space. How do you count time on earth? The basic time is day and night. Well, what creates day and night? The fact that the surface of the earth at any point moves during the 24-hour cycle.
What creates the times of the year? The earth moves around the Sun. What creates even greater time frames? That the solar system is moving through the galaxy. That the galaxy is moving through space.
Beings behind the movement of galaxies
But is the galaxy moving as an independent separate unit? Nay. It is moving in a choreographed dance with all the other galaxies. Scientists have been attempting to portray this as a purely mechanical process driven by gravity. The galaxies influence each other through gravity and this accounts for the movement. But they have known for some time that the movement you observe cannot be explained by the gravitational force of the physical matter they can see.
They have speculated about dark matter. But the dark matter is just the emotional, mental and identity realm and the spiritual realm that affects the movements of bodies in the physical. How does this happen? Is it a purely mechanical process of gravity pulling on everything else creating this movement? Nay, it is not. What moves the earth around the Sun? Is it just gravity? Nay. It is the constant attention of the Elohim that keeps the earth in orbit. What moves the Sun through the galaxy? The constant attention of ascended masters at a higher level of the Elohim than created the earth. And what moves the entire galaxy are even beings at a higher level with the power of mind to move the unit the size of a galaxy. And all of this is conscious, coordinated, choreographed. Why, you might say? For the growth of the beings who are expanding their sense of self by reaching a level of consciousness where they have that power of mind over matter to lower an entire galaxy into the material frequency spectrum and to move it in coordination with other beings with that power.
The lie of the mechanical world
And you may say: “Well, how is that relevant to me?” Well, these beings who can move an entire galaxy started out like you. They are just further along in the path of self-transcendence. You can work your way up to that level and even go beyond. For that is the purpose of creation, that growth in awareness that allows you to manifest something in the physical and move it. There is, of course, much that could be said about this. But the main thing I wanted to convey here is that science is really trapped in a mindset of wanting to explain everything in a purely mechanical way.
Now, you could say: “Why is that so? Why have scientists become trapped in this mindset?” Well, because of the influence of the fallen beings. Some fallen beings want to create their false god and get people to worship that god. But other fallen beings who want to be superior to the fallen beings who create gods, they want to destroy gods. The gods created by the other fallen beings, but even the real God. They want to create a worldview of a world where there is no god, there are no conscious beings, it is all mechanical, driven by laws of nature. They want to explain everything in the world by what you can see in the physical realm. It is as other masters have said, when you are trapped in duality and can see only the physical world, you want to take what you see in the physical world and project it on anything beyond. Or you want to take what is in the physical world and project that the physical world is a self-existing, self-contained unit that needs nothing from outside itself to explain the cosmic dance of the galaxies.
Not-so-constant cosmological constants
One thing that science has discovered is that the universe has these cosmological constants. This is where the wisdom of the Mother allows you to look at science and say: “But have you not been telling us that there is no guiding principle? That, for example, we are the product of a process of evolution that is blind, unconscious, and entirely based on random events, random mutations and then the adaptation to physical conditions. If the entire universe is defined by these cosmological constants, where is the room for randomness?” Clearly, with the wisdom of the Divine Mother, something is missing in the scientific worldview. There are either cosmological constants or there is randomness. You cannot have both. But scientists, at least a few, have begun to ask the question: “Are these constants really constant? Or could they change over time? For example, was the speed of light the same a millisecond after the big bang as it is today? Was the gravitational constant the same before galaxies formed? For dust does not really have much of a gravitational pull compared to a galaxy.”
The reality is that there is nothing in this world that is constant and never changes. It is a constant dance guided by self-aware beings with a much higher level of consciousness than any human being on earth, including fallen beings. And as the universe unfolds, they adjust these so-called constants, because they experience directly that nothing is separate. Even galaxies that are far apart, seemingly, are not separate. They are all part of what the Buddha called the interdependent originations, where everything is connected. What connects it? The connection is not at the physical level. The connection is in the mind of the ascended beings who are directing the movement of the galaxies. And they are united through the Christ mind.
Therefore, it is not that those who oversee the Andromeda galaxy are disconnected from those who oversee other galaxies. They work together. They coordinate the movements. And as the galaxies move closer to each other, further away from each other, the so-called cosmological constants are constantly adjusted to produce the movement that the beings want to produce. These beings are not bound by the limitations of the physical octave or the duality consciousness. There is certainly a certain mechanics that comes in, in the physical realm. But the ascended beings can override this and define what they want to manifest. It is simply that if you want to manifest a galaxy that has these properties and moves this way, then certain cosmological constants have to have this value. If you want to manifest a galaxy that has different properties, you adjust the constants. And even a small change can produce a big effect.
You may say that this is a very abstract message. Certainly, if you feel it is too abstract, ignore it. Focus on what some other masters have talked about. But I know there are people in embodiment, both some of you here and other people who are not part of this movement, who could benefit from this message. And again, the interdependent originations between you and I are sending this impulse out. There are scientists, for example, who have never heard of ascended masters and do not need to hear about us, but who are asking themselves these questions about whether anything is really constant. And they can benefit from receiving this impulse, allowing them to see a little bit further, and reach more clear questions that can lead to clearer insights, breakthroughs.
Learning what is possible
What is the purpose of it all? Well partly, as I said, the growth in self-awareness of the beings who are orchestrating this cosmic dance. But also, that these beings come to appreciate the world of form of our Creator and the incredible opportunities that are here. But also, that they come to know the mechanics. For when you manifest something that is differentiated, you must make a choice. But the choice has certain consequences, because you cannot have your cake and eat it too. You cannot create something with these properties and at the same time it has other properties. And in order to create a universe that is sustainable over time, you need to know what works and what does not.
And how do you get to know how to create a galaxy that does not self-destruct? Only by doing. There is no cosmic academy where you can get a degree in galaxy formation. It is only hands-on, minds-on, because then the lesson is integrated, not theoretical. You are not sitting there like the fallen beings, thinking that in your mind you can define how the world should work. You are experimenting and learning what is actually possible. What is not possible? What are the consequences of every choice you make? And that is how you grow to that level of awareness where you can create a creation that is sustainable.
Now, you might say, based on this teaching: “But has the Creator really created our world of form when you consider that the beings in the first sphere co-created their sphere, and so forth with the succeeding spheres down to this one?” But the Creator has defined the parameters for how this world of form works. And they could have been very different. And there are worlds of form where they are very different. But these worlds of form are still sustainable. But within a sphere, especially an unascended sphere, there is vast room for experimentation. And this is what allows these beings to then experience what works and what does not work.
Sometimes even ascended beings co-creating galaxies create something that is not sustainable. You may have two suns that collide or two galaxies that collide or merge, but it is part of the learning process. You may say: “How can ascended masters make mistakes?” But they are not mistakes, they are experiments. The ascended masters are not in duality, do not think in terms of mistakes. When you reach that level of awareness, you can create or move a galaxy. You have a vast experience base to draw upon, but you are still experimenting. You are just not thinking of an experiment as a mistake, but as a stepping stone towards something that is sustainable. Because of the increasing density of the spheres, the beings who create galaxies in this sphere are doing something that has never been done before, even in previous spheres. But still, everything that is done is within the parameters defined by the Creator. And although individual structures might not be sustainable, it will not cause the entire world to self-destruct.
No boredom in the ascended state
It has been my joy to interact with you in this way, and to give you a glimpse in what you can see, experience, explore from the ascended state. You will see that one of the most common states of mind on earth is boredom. Why? Because there are beings on earth who have been in duality for so long that they have explored almost everything that could be done in duality. And they are beginning to long for something beyond duality, but they have not locked in to what it is. And therefore, they are thinking: “Maybe it is boring to be in the heaven realm, the kingdom of God, the ascended realm. Maybe there is only God and some angels that are sitting on a pink cloud playing the harp for all eternity, once in a while blowing in a trumpet. But it is not really that exciting, is it?”
I wanted to send this impulse into the collective consciousness so that those who are open for it can shift and see that there is immense opportunities for experiences and growth in the ascended realm. Immense opportunities! Once you ascend, boredom is left behind. You can never be bored as an ascended master. It is only a product of the duality consciousness and this illusion you can create that you know everything, you have it all figured out. You know better than God how God’s creation works. But after a time of using your own mind, the separate mind, to attempt to define reality, you get bored with your own mind. And the solution is to reach for the mind that is beyond yours. And there are almost infinite levels of minds that are beyond yours when you are embodied on a planet called earth.
I hope I have given you a glimpse of this immense world of opportunities and exploration and experimentation and participation in this really most wondrous creation defined by our Creator. With this, I seal you in the God flame that I AM, Surya I AM.
