Ascended Master Elohim Cyclopea 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 the Elohim Cyclopea. As you know, the Fifth Ray is generally regarded as the Ray of Vision. I am grateful, we of the Fifth Ray are grateful that you have authorized us with your calls and invocations to shatter the veil that prevents so many people in America from seeing what is really the important issue in this nation at this time. And that issue is, of course, the power elite, the unequal distribution of wealth and income, taking wealth from the bottom 95% of the population and siphoning it up to the top. This is not a democratic system. This is not a democratic phenomenon and it is not a phenomenon seen in any other democratic country to the extent which it is seen in the United States, with the United Kingdom being a close second.

The lack of social awareness

If you go back to what Archangel Michael said about the cycles, the upward movement towards the peak and then the downward movement towards the low point. What is it that the power elite does? Well, as the upswing goes, it caters to the middle class because they think: “Ah, we can become part of the elite too. We can make as much easy money as we see the financial elite making. We just need to invest the money we have left over, and we will have as much money as the millionaires or the billionaires.” But this of course is a lie. It can never happen. You cannot start out with next to nothing and become a billionaire because that is not how the system works. Well, you can always point to some examples here and there but everybody could not do the same. That is the lie behind an elitist system.

They make the middle class think they can become as rich as the elite. But in reality, it could never happen because the system itself does not allow for that many people to become that rich. What is actually happening is that the power elite is seeking to get the middle class to go into the same state of consciousness that they are in. Namely, that they are totally focused on themselves, do not have any empathy for those who are not as fortunate as they are, and are not willing to do anything to help those who are below them in the societal hierarchy. In other words, the power elite has absolutely no social awareness and when the upswing is going, they are seeking to make the middle class act as if they have no social awareness either. Why is that a problem? Because the opportunity that a society has in an upswing is that the middle class will develop a social awareness and will say: “We have a society now that can afford to take care of those less fortunate by creating a social safety net, by creating public health care, and by creating better education that educates everybody to see the opportunities in life.”

This is the high potential that a democratic society has in the upswing. It must start with the middle class because after all, they have a higher level of consciousness than the less fortunate part of the population. But the question is, will the middle class be pulled down to the lower levels of social awareness that the power elite has, or will they be pulled up by what we might call the creative elite, which is usually not as prominent in society as the power elite. What has happened in the United States was that during this upswing, we can always debate how long that lasted or when it started, but let’s not get lost in details. What has happened in the United States is that during the upswing, not enough among the middle class, not a critical mass among the middle class, developed that social awareness. Many remain stuck in the consciousness of only caring about themselves, their own situation, and feeling that they had succeeded by doing hard work, and therefore everybody else should be able to do the same. This is another lie promoted by the power elite.

Now, of course, many among the power elite have inherited their wealth, but some have started out with nothing or next to nothing and have made it to become millionaires or billionaires and this serves one purpose only. And it is actually something that the power elite who are in the top right now, they will allow a few people to come up from below, just to promote the myth that this is something that anybody could do in a free capitalist economy. But again, some people can do it. But all people cannot do it. And the majority of the people could not do it and certainly not the majority of the middle class. Social awareness means realizing that not everybody has the same level of consciousness and therefore, not everybody is able to make use of the freedoms in a quote-unquote “free economy” and therefore, there is a need for society to take care of those who are not as highly developed in consciousness. This is part of social awareness.

This did not happen in America. Part of why it did not happen is the influence of the power elite. Part of why it did not happen is the influence of certain conservative groups, even Christian groups, who believe in this, what we have previously called the rugged American individualism, that everybody makes his own luck and this is, of course, primarily something that people who vote for the Republican Party espouse, this mindset. There are, of course, some that vote for the Democratic Party, but not quite as many. Anyway, this mindset instead of lifting, has become reinforced in a large part of the American population. And this is why there hasn’t been the transition to a greater social awareness that you see in most of the other developed democracies. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, many of the European nations, you see a higher level of social awareness where the middle class in these nations did transition and said: “We are willing to pay taxes to have a society that has a social safety net so people are not starving to death in the streets, so they don’t die of preventable disease because they cannot afford to go to the doctor.”

High time for public health care reform

In America, too many people still are in this mindset that: “If I have to pay higher taxes for somebody else to go to the doctor, then that’s socialized medicine.” But what if you looked at this from a purely pragmatic standpoint? What if you looked at a person who has this attitude and who, his entire life, refuses to pay higher taxes to pay for other people’s health care? But because there is no public health care, he pays extra money for health insurance for himself and his family. He also, beyond the health insurance, has to pay for certain medical costs. What if you now look at the lifespan of such a person and say: “He paid x amount of dollars for health insurance and medical expenses, but if he had lived in a European nation, he would have paid x amount of dollars more in taxes.”

Well, what would have cost the person more? The current system in the United States or the health care system in one of the other democracies? And you can, of course, always say that for some people, it would have cost less to have the current system in the United States because they were fortunate not to get ill and not have somebody in their family who had one of these very expensive illnesses. You can find some people for whom it would have been cheaper. But certainly not a majority, because given the fact that the health care system in America is driven by profit, whereas in many of the other democracies, it is not driven by profit because it is public health care, the fact of the matter is that most people in the United States would pay less by paying the extra taxes to cover public health care than they are paying now in a privatized system.

Now, there are some that will say: “But I do not pay anything for health insurance. I get that through my company.” Well, but where does the company get the money from to pay for this? They either have to take it out of their pocket, or they have to deduct it from taxes. Either way, you are not making as much money as you would have made if there was public health care. Generally, you see that the standard of living for the average worker in many of the other democracies is actually higher than it is in the United States. I know you can always play with the figures, and you can prove whatever you want to prove, but I am simply raising the question here, or rather I am projecting this into the collective consciousness.

Is it actually cheaper to have the American system or is it actually cheaper for the individual to have a system that is based on social awareness where we say we take care of each other? This is a question that should have been a very prominent issue in the presidential debate this year, but it is not. And why is it not? Well, because as I said, America is in one of these natural unavoidable downturns and the power elite have done everything they can to inflate the anger in many people. Now, it isn’t only the lower classes that are angry, as Archangel Michael described. There are also many among the middle class that are angry because, as I said, they do not want to pay for other people, but they sense at some part of their being that the United States will inevitably have to move in the same direction as the other democracies so there will be higher taxes and they are angry because they want to stop it. They know they cannot, but they are still trying to hang on to some kind of system, some kind of political party, some kind of presidential candidate that they think can stop or at least delay it.

The unasked questions

But what if this is an example of this interesting American saying, that you are shooting yourself in the foot. What if it is not nearly as bad as people think it is because why then has it been done in so many other countries? And why have these countries survived and even thrived and why are people better off, more satisfied, more happy than they are in the United States? You may say, as Americans are so fond of saying: “America is the richest country on earth.” Yes, certainly, America has more billionaires per capita than any other country. But if you look at the average person, America is not the richest country on earth, neither in income nor wealth. But then look at it in another way. There are international surveys that measure the happiness, the contentment of people. And there are many countries that consistently score higher than the United States.

Is richness just a matter of money, or is it a matter of the quality of life? Why doesn’t the richest country in the world have the highest quality of life? Well, there is a question that should have been in the presidential debate but is not. Why is it that certain of these issues are barely even mentioned? Because the power elite is manipulating the debate. And they are doing this for one primary reason, namely to prevent a third issue from becoming part of the political debate, namely the power elite itself and the unequal distribution of wealth and the siphoning of wealth from the lower part of the population to the elite. This is the one issue that the power elite in America wants to hide.

Delaying progress

Now, they know that in all the other democracies, at least most of them, this has been debated and there has been enacted various measures to tax the rich more than the poor. They know it cannot be stopped, but they are hoping they can delay it as much as possible. And how are they delaying it? Well, we are of course the ascended masters. We are not in a dualistic state of consciousness. We are not in the us versus them mentality. We do not want to reinforce the us versus them mentality. But it is a fact that there is an us versus them mentality in the power elite—us versus the people. And this is not understood by most people in America, but it needs to be understood for America to move forward and become a more modern democracy, a more developed democracy. And the only reason why it hasn’t become a prominent feature in the debate is because the power elite has prevented it. And how are they preventing it? With the good old time-tested measure that they have used over and over again throughout history. It is called divide and conquer.

Divide and conquer

You see, the power elite is in the divisive state of consciousness. They see themselves as clearly separated from the people. They are the elite. The people are nothing compared to them. They are fundamentally below them, fundamentally less. If you could see the arrogance and the sense of superiority of many of these people, you would be shocked. If the American people could see it, they would be shocked. But the power elite is fairly good at hiding it. How? Because instead of making the people realize that if there is any us versus them battle in America, it should be between the people and the elite. They have now managed to manipulate the people into thinking that it is us versus those other people. In other words, they have divided the people amongst themselves. The people are now fighting each other, instead of seeing that the problem is the power elite. Just look at how many people see the scapegoat as the cause of the problem. And if we could just get rid of the scapegoat, we would overcome the problem.

Now, obviously, you have a presidential candidate who has, from the moment he entered the political scene, done everything he could to inflame this division, us versus them. Even within the Republican Party, those who are RINOs, Republicans In Name Only. But what has this done to the political debate? He has actually defined the political debate because by promoting this us versus them mentality, the other party has been caught in their version of the us versus them mentality because they are trying to make sure that he does not get elected and that has become more important than promoting other issues. So what has been lost in all of this, to both parties, is the power elite.

Now, of course, the Republican party does not have a grand tradition for wanting to limit the power elite but the Democratic Party has some tradition and probably has a bigger potential than the Republican party for exposing the power elite. There has at least been talks about this in the Democratic camp. But it has all been lost because it is not considered to be a winning issue. It is not considered to be an issue that can win enough votes to defeat the other guy and all of a sudden, it has become an epic battle. The one side: “I have to get elected.” The other side: “We have to prevent him from getting elected.” Now, I am not promoting a third battle, the people versus the power elite because what has happened in these other democracies that I am talking about that are further developed is that there was not a violent revolution to overthrow the power elite. It happened because of a raising of awareness, of social awareness, and political awareness, and economic awareness.

Raising social, political, and economic awareness

Now, it is perfectly correct that in smaller nations, such as the Scandinavian nations, it has been easier to achieve this transition for the simple reason that these smaller nations do not give the power elite the same sense of power that they get in a bigger nation. And therefore, these smaller nations have not attracted, as members of their power elite, fallen beings that are at as low a state of consciousness as the fallen beings who are belonging to the elite in the United States and certain other nations. So clearly, it is not as easy of a task for the United States. On the other hand, there are many more people in the United States, and that means that the potential for exposing the power elite is very close to the same as it is in the smaller nations. And in a sense, you do not even have to expose the power elite and name and label them as the power elite or as enemies of the people. It can be done by a simple raising of awareness, a social awareness, which basically is what Jesus attempted to teach people 2,000 years ago—Love God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. These are the two greatest commandments of the law so in this self-declared Christian nation, it should be no problem to develop this social awareness, should it?

Cognitive dissonance among American Christians

Then why is it that those who claim to be the most Christian Christians who are, in many ways, enmeshed with the Republican Party, they are the ones who are resisting social awareness. This is another issue that should be part of the debate. Why is it not? Because of cognitive dissonance. You claim to be a good Christian, and you fail to see that you are not acting like one.

Now, there was many years ago a man in India called Gandhi, and he made the statement: “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” Unfortunately, most Christians in America would reject it, because who was Gandhi? Ah, he was a Hindu, and they are going to hell, so why should we listen to him? But that is exactly what the scribes and Pharisees said at the time of Jesus. Not the exact words, but the same attitude. Why should we listen to him? He’s a nobody. But you see, this ties in with what Godfre said in his magnificent discourse about what it takes to be a good president when he talked about George Washington. You can only be a good president if you acknowledge there is a higher power. There is a higher principle. There is something that is right from a higher perspective.

Why should you develop social awareness? If you only think about what is good for you, you cannot and you will not develop social awareness. Why should you develop social awareness? Because it is right. Because where did all people come from? They came from the same source. That is right. Jesus clearly saw this or he would not have said: “Love your neighbor as yourself. Do good to those that hate you. Forgive seventy times seven.” How did that become lost in the Christian religion. How? Cognitive dissonance. You talk the good talk, but you do not walk the walk. And this is precisely the biggest block to progress in the United States: cognitive dissonance. It is not just found on one side of the political spectrum. It is found on both sides. There are innumerable examples of this.

Advocating for anarchy

Why am I even bothering to say this? Well, because by saying it, I can use your chakras to project this into the collective consciousness where I can awaken those who are closest to seeing this—as to seeing that there is something that is right. And therefore, you vote based on what is right, not what is expedient, not what is even in your own short-term interest. And one of the things that is right is that you have principles. You have laws. You have a system for conducting elections in a democratic nation. And when that system does what it is designed to do, when it has been monitored as it has been designed to be monitored, and it produces a certain result, then you accept that result because it is right, because if you do not accept the result, you are advocating anarchy.

If you have a supposedly democratic election where the choice is between two people and the one who loses says he will not accept the process, he will not accept the outcome, and he casts all kinds of doubt upon the system and its functioning, then you no longer have democracy, you have the beginning of anarchy. You have a person who is running for democratic office, the highest office in the land, but who is actually advocating anarchy, because he is willing to cast doubt upon the system to get elected instead of getting elected by getting the most votes and then accepting it if you do not get the most votes. And it is not right to democratically elect someone who casts doubt upon the democratic system and its institutions. I am not thereby saying that those democratic institutions are flawless. There is, of course, need for improvement. But it is one thing to advocate improvement. It is another thing to advocate that the system is fundamentally flawed.

The lies of the power elite

As I said, the big problem in the United States is the power elite. But I am not advocating a violent revolution. I am advocating a raising of awareness so that there is a gradual transition, as there has been in many other nations. This is not anarchy. This is working within the democratic system and the constitution and the laws of the land to improve the situation. It is a fundamentally different approach than saying: “Oh, everything is wrong and the country is going to hell unless a certain person gets elected president.” It is a fundamentally different approach. What is it that the power elite has been saying for a very, very long time: “Unless we are in charge, everything will go to hell.”

Who is it that creates the problems? It is the power elite. You look back at all societies in the world, and you see that the vast majority of problems and conflicts have been created by power elite groups. But what is it that the fallen beings behind power elite groups always do? They first create a problem. Then they blame it on somebody else, and then they present themselves as the only ones who can save the people from the problem that they have created. The country of America is not going to go to hell if Donald Trump is not elected. The country of America is not going to go to hell if Donald Trump is elected. Because the country of America is not in any danger of going to hell.

Why? Well, partly because of Saint Germain’s sponsorship, and partly because there are many among the American people who already have risen to a higher level awareness or who are very close to doing so. And whether this person is elected or that person is elected, the next four years will cause an even higher number of Americans to rise to a higher level of consciousness. This can happen in a very painful way or in a less painful way, but it will happen one way or the other and that means America will progress, will move forward, one way or the other. Saying something different is simply the power elite saying: “Unless we are in charge, everything will go bad because the people cannot govern themselves.” Again, they create a problem, then they present themselves as the saviors with the only solution to the problem. You can see this in world history so many times.

The only solution: raising awareness

Therefore, you can see that a person who uses this kind of rhetoric is clearly part of the power elite and therefore cannot give those poor, angry people who worship him as a God, what he is promising them. It can never happen. Because if the poor people in America, are going to improve their situation it can happen in only two ways that are, of course, related. The development of social awareness and the gradual redistribution of wealth from the elite to the lower ranking people in society. And the redistribution of wealth can only happen through social awareness. It cannot be done any other way. Even a violent revolution would not achieve the goal, as has also been proven by various countries. There is only raising of awareness.

Now, I understand fully that those who are at the lowest level of society, often, not always, but often also have the lowest levels of awareness. And therefore, they cannot see that the solution to the problem is a raising of awareness. But consider what the power elite has consistently been saying for thousands of years: “We are the solution.” You have never heard the power elite say: “Oh, the solution is the raising of the people’s awareness.” They have done everything they could, in every society in every historical epoch, to prevent the raising of the consciousness of the people. Because it is only by keeping the consciousness low that they continue to rule and continue to stay hidden.

What I have done and will continue to do—what we of the Fifth Ray will continue to do, is to shatter this veil of illusion that is hanging over America, to shatter the veil of illusion that makes individual people unable to see what is the higher right, the higher principle. And we shall see if enough people will be willing to see this, that it makes a difference on November 5th. Free will reigns supreme. And as I said, one way or the other, in the next four years, many Americans will, one might say, be forced to raise their awareness, to rethink their attitude and to develop that social awareness.

With this, I again express my gratitude, and I seal you in the Flame of Vision. For I will, if you are willing, naturally, help you develop a higher vision in response to you making these calls and authorizing me to do the work that I am here to do for planet earth and for Saint Germain.
