Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels, March 22, 2025. This dictation was given at a conference in Holland: Locking in to Your Divine Plan
I AM the Ascended Master Saint Germain. What does my Golden Age have to do with your Divine plan? Well, the answer to that is, of course, somewhat individual. But nevertheless, I can say that anyone who will ever hear or read this dictation, my Golden Age is part of your Divine plan, one way or another.
How to help advance the Saint Germain’s Golden Age
Resolving your psychology
We can look at various scenarios. First, we can have people who may feel: “I am inadequate. How could I possibly help Saint Germain manifest his Golden Age?” Well, you could help me by looking at why you feel inadequate. And you can realize that this comes from some subconscious selves, probably more than one, and these selves make you vulnerable to these projections from lower forces, the fallen beings or other people who are projecting inadequacy into your mind. Why is it a lie that you are inadequate? Because you are like everyone else in embodiment. You have the same potential to transcend yourself as everyone else. And if you are willing to transcend yourself to resolve something in your psychology, you are helping the progression of my Golden Age. It is that simple. A vital element of my Golden Age is precisely raising the collective consciousness. When you raise your individual consciousness, you are helping to raise the collective. Already there, you are helping advance my Golden Age.
Making the calls
There is of course more you can do, because you can realize a very simple fact. As we have explained, you, the outer being that you are, you are not the doer. Even Jesus recognized and stated 2,000 years ago: “I can of my own self do nothing.” What does that mean? It means that you can do nothing if you do not receive energy from your higher self and the ascended realm. Because then you have no energy to do anything with. Everything you do is done with energy. Even physical actions require energy. Feelings, thoughts, require energy. You may feel inadequate, you may feel: “What can I, one person, do”, but you can open yourself up to a greater flow of energy from your I AM Presence. And that flow will also help advance the Golden Age. You may say: “Why do I not have the flow now?” Because you have something in your psychology that blocks it, subconscious selves. We have given you the tools and teachings to resolve them, so there is something you can do.
Now there may be others of you who say: “Yes, but it seems to me that your Golden Age requires changes in society. But look at me, look at my life, I don’t have any particular education or skills or experience with any aspect of society. I don’t feel I have the qualifications to go out and do something in society.” Well, that may be the case for you. It may also be a perception where you are limiting yourself. But nevertheless, even if you accept that this is the case for you, then can you not give the invocations and decrees so that you do not have to go out physically and do something out there? You can invoke the spiritual light from me and other masters, direct it into specific conditions that you are concerned about, and therefore, you can do something to help advance my Golden Age.
Becoming more knowledgeable
Then you can say: “I don’t really have great knowledge in any particular field.” And that may be the case for you. You may not have that knowledge right now. But could you not look at life on this planet with its many varieties of facets and aspects? Could you not find some aspect of life that has a particular interest, a particular resonance with you? And then say: “I don’t need to go to school and get a formal education in that field. But I can study on my own. I can read books. I can watch whatever programs or videos I can find. I may be able to talk to some people. But even if I don’t know anyone, I can certainly study the topic and become more knowledgeable about the topic.”
And why should you do this, you might say, if you do not feel like you are meant to go out there? Well, the more you know about a topic, the more precise calls you can make with your invocations and decrees. Grant you there are many different invocations that cover many different topics. But we do not have invocations that cover every topic on earth. And why do we not have them? Partly because the messenger cannot know everything. Therefore, you can educate yourself in a particular area. You can give the invocations that are there, directing the light towards that area. Or when you know enough, you can create your own invocation. You can take some of the invocations that are there, such as the invocation to Astrea that has already been adapted to various purposes. Or you can create your own invocation. You can see the matrix. You start in the beginning by invoking the masters. You have four sections of the master’s decree given the nine verses. And then for each of the verses, you have this short statement of what you are calling the light into. It is not beyond the capability of most of you to do this. And you could even share them with each other.
Receiving and sharing ideas from Saint Germain
Now then, we can go to another level. For some of you, it will be in your Divine plan to do something active in society. You may have an education. You may have particular experience. It can be on the job. It can be in other ways that you have experience with a particular field. And therefore, you may be able to tune in to me or to other masters and get certain ideas in that field. Again, some of you will feel inadequate. “Yes, I have some experience. Yes, I have some education. But am I really able to come up with these groundbreaking ideas?” Well, I am able to come up with these ideas, but I cannot implement them in the physical. I cannot speak them out. I need someone who is the open door, who is the mouthpiece. Let me propose this to you. You do not need to have a particular ability. If you will just empty your mind of subconscious selves and tune into me, then I will give you the ideas. It does not require skill to receive an idea. It requires an open mind and heart so you do not limit yourself and limit me.
Now, of course, there are others who will be able to get beyond this sense that you are not really creative and who therefore, can be creative in bringing forth new ideas in a certain field. And again, you may be able to come up with ideas on your own, or you may be able to tune into me and receive the ideas from me. There are, of course, many of you who will find or feel that it is too intimidating to speak out publicly, but there are certainly some of you who either have the ability and the willingness to speak out or who can acquire it by working on some of the subconscious selves that are blocking you. As the messenger has explained, many people today are looking for something genuine, something that is not so slick and professional. They are looking for other people to share of themselves. Many of you can do this. Again, I am not telling you what to do, but I am telling you what not to do so that you do not limit yourself. If you could just stop limiting yourself and, aforehand, decide: “Oh, I could not possibly do anything to help Saint Germain.” Then you would be surprised at what you would be able to receive from me.
Now, there will of course be a few of you that might be able to receive some bigger ideas, some really groundbreaking ideas. But it is important for you to realize that where some people are too imbalanced in the sense of putting themselves down, other people are too imbalanced in the sense of being overly confident. There is always a balance to be found. We have seen in previous ascended master dispensations how some students became literally obsessed with coming up with something so new and groundbreaking that they would be recognized in the history books as having been these important geniuses. And I am not saying this cannot happen to some of you, but it cannot happen if you are doing it from the motivation of the ego of being famous, being validated and this and that. Always remember what Jesus said: “He who would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all.” Be careful to watch yourself, see if you have such an ambition of being recognized, of doing something special, and then work on those subconscious selves that this is coming from. Most of you have subconscious selves that limit yourself, but some of you have subconscious selves that cause you to be not balanced, being overly enthusiastic, and dreaming of these grandiose things that very easily become delusions of grandeur.
This does not mean you do not have the potential, but who is it that has the potential? Is it the outer self or your I AM Presence and the Conscious You? Get the outer self out of the way. Do not run on the motivation of wanting to be famous or unique, wanting to be recognized. Go within, tune in to your I AM Presence, tune in to me, and remember you are not the doer. You can of your own self, the outer self, do nothing. The Conscious You can of its own self do nothing, but it can be the open door for the I AM Presence and for me. Whether you are too far to the inferiority side or too far to the superiority side, you are not the doer.
Helping others resolve their psychology
Now there are some of you that have a potential that is more towards addressing specific areas of society, bringing forth inventions or new thinking, for example in the business world, in education, in many other fields. But there are also some of you that have it in your divine plan to bring forth something in the spiritual field or in the field of psychology, personal growth, self-transformation. And as we have already said at New Year’s, this release of light for this next 12-year cycle will give tremendous opportunities for those of you who have it in your Divine plan to work in this field where you help others resolve psychology. It can be done in many different ways. It does not have to at all even mention ascended masters. As the messenger has said, as we have said many times, there are universal ideas that we give you. You are free to use them, apply them to any field, and if it is not appropriate, you do not need to mention where they came from. You have great freedom to use these teachings, apply them into a specific field, and you do not need to give credit. The messenger does not need credit. I do not need credit. You are free to use the ideas.
You are of course also free to work on your psychology so you can tune in to me or other masters directly and therefore receive something that has not come through the messenger. Many of you have the potential to do this. You understand, I hope, that the messenger does not in any way want to be a hindrance for your self-expression. The messenger is happy to see you come to a point where you can contact the masters directly without going through him.
This is the potential that many of you have, something new in the field of psychology, helping people. Yes, of course, it may help if you have a certain education in the field. If you are to get credibility in the field, you may need a certain education in order to be recognized, and then once you have your foot in the door, so to speak, you can bring in new ideas. But not all of you need to do this, because in the next 12 years there will be tremendous opportunities for people who are wanting to work on their psychology, but they are not going to go to a traditional psychologist and pay hundreds of dollars or whatever it is per hour to have somebody who sits there and listens to them and does not really do much actively to help them. There are many people that simply will not spend the time that way. They want somebody who can help them directly, give them some practical tools, give them some practical steps: “Where do I start? What do I do?” And this, of course, is something those of you who can do who have worked on your own psychology. What better qualification for helping other people with their psychology is that you have overcome things in your own psychology. This is, incidentally, what is often missing from traditional psychology. You have psychologists who have an intellectual understanding of psychology but have not overcome a lot of things in their own subconscious minds.
Manifesting Christhood
Then beyond that, there are some of you that can help advance my Golden Age by being more focused on the spiritual aspect than the psychological. This may be that you can bring forth teachings and ideas, you can even take the teachings we have given through this or other messengers, summarize them, put them into courses, classes that can help other people. But for some of you, you do not necessarily need to be outgoing because for some of you, what is in your Divine plan is to manifest Christhood, to reach a higher level of Christhood. Some of you belong to the 10,000 people that Jesus has talked about since 2002 that have the potential to manifest full Christhood in this lifetime. Other people, you can manifest a very high degree of it in this lifetime. Even by manifesting that Christhood, you are helping advance my Golden Age. But of course, part of Christhood is, as we have said, if you are not expressing it in helping others, it really is not the fullness of Christhood. Once you attain those higher levels of awareness beyond the 96th level, you might indeed see clearly how to express it in helping others. And here, there is a wide field that is open to you.
There is no standard way to express your Christhood. It can take many different forms, from the personal level of working with people you meet personally, family members, people you associate with in other ways, to a broader perspective where you speak out. There is always the potential for speaking out in various areas of society when you come from that level of Christ discernment. You can say, of course, that even at that level you are not the doer. But nevertheless, when you attain a degree of Christhood, it is not that you need to tune into a master to receive ideas. They will simply flow through you whenever you open your mouth. And therefore, it is not quite the same dynamic as it is at lower levels where you do need to tune in to a particular master. There can be, when you reach this level of Christhood, where it is your I AM Presence flowing through you, or it is not a specific master, but more that the universal Christ consciousness finds expression through you. It is, of course, still facilitated by the ascended masters at higher levels, but it is not so that you are necessarily even aware of a particular master.
Just based on this relatively quick summary, I hope that all of you can see that you can find some way whereby your Divine plan, your personal Divine plan, relates to manifesting my Golden Age, and how you can make a contribution, be aware that you are making a contribution and feel the fulfillment of knowing you are making a contribution.
Naturally, there is more that can be said, but really, is it necessary to say it? Because what have we told you? At your current level of consciousness, you can see some aspect of your Divine plan. As you raise your consciousness, you will see more. But you will never really have it so that you see the fullness of your Divine plan in one vision, because it is something you discover as you raise your consciousness. Therefore, there is little value in telling you specifically. In other words, if I took each one of you individually and told you: “This is your Divine plan, and how it relates to my Golden Age. You do this, this, this, this, this, and this.” That would not be valuable, because it is not a matter of the outer results that are the primary goal. It is the raising of consciousness, including the raising of your consciousness.
Making your ascension
Then of course, ultimately, there are some of you that have it as part of your Divine plan to ascend. And there are some people who will think: “Well, how do I advance Saint Germain’s Golden Age by getting out of here?” But you see, when one person ascends from earth, it creates a tremendous upward pull on the collective consciousness and on the individual consciousness of many different people. We have before said that each of you has like a pyramid below you of people that you are tied to or that are tied to you. And therefore, when you raise yourself and ascend, you are pulling up of all of those who have this connection to you. And this, of course, helps raise the collective consciousness, and this very much advances my Golden Age.
Multiplying the talents you have right now
You can see here, whatever level of consciousness you are at, there is something you can do. And what is it you need to do? You need to start where you are at, and you need to be willing to do only one thing, multiply the talents you have right now.
When you multiply the talents you have, more will be given. If you sit there and think: “Oh, I couldn’t possibly do something. Saint Germain is such a high master, he has such an advanced plan for the Golden Age. What could little old me do? I can do nothing. Let me dig a hole for myself.” Then you are burying yourself and your talents in the ground, and there is nothing to multiply. But anything you do, I can multiply. And when you feel that return current, you can do more, and then there will be more to multiply. And therefore, the rest of your life can become an upward spiral instead of being a downward spiral, or just status quo, equilibrium.
What are the limits for how far you can go with such an upward spiral? Well, there may be certain outer limits, depending on where you live, where you have grown up, what your society and culture is. You may have still some karma from past lives. You have some psychology that needs to be resolved. But really, what are the limits? Well, they are largely the limits you have in your own mind. As my teacher, the Divine Director, explained to you in such depth, and with such a profound teaching that has never been given on earth before, it really is up to you what kind of an experience you want to have relating to my Golden Age. And I would hope for all of you that you will want to have the experience that you are part of manifesting my Golden Age. Whatever that means for you individually, again, I am not putting any pressure on you that you should fulfill this grandiose potential. I am only hoping you will feel that you are part of manifesting my Golden Age. And you will feel the return current for me multiplying whatever you multiply, so that you can feel my gratitude and my joy for everything you do. That instead of being a burden, as we have seen in previous dispensations where some people became obsessive-compulsive about bringing forth my Golden Age, I would hope that this would not be the case for you, because you will be able to look at yourself realistically and do what you can from your current level, and feel the fulfillment of that, even if it might seem insignificant. Anything you do is better than doing nothing. Nothing will not get you anywhere, and nothing will not get me anywhere. Anything you do is better than doing nothing.
Bringing about the golden age through people’s choices
Now, I will shift gears a little bit here, because I also have some remarks to make about free will. I am, of course, the Chohan of the Seventh Ray, normally seen as the ray of freedom. And naturally, when you hear the word freedom, you might think about free will. How does free will look from a Seventh Ray perspective? And how does free will relate to the golden age? Well, first of all, we need to recognize I am the ascended master who has been appointed to oversee the next 2,000 years of the Age of Aquarius. I have created a vision for how this period can become a golden age for earth. I have a vision, of course, of certain changes that can happen that will make life much richer, more fulfilling, more pleasant for humankind. And you may say, from a certain perspective, my vision would make life much more enjoyable for all people on earth. Would it not be better for everyone if my vision was manifest?
But you see, I have absolutely no desire or intention of forcing my Golden Age upon humanity. It does not matter that it would alleviate suffering, in fact, remove suffering from earth. I have no intention of forcing people to no longer suffer. Therefore, my vision of the Golden Age is something that can only be brought about through people’s choices. Take note, I did not say through people’s free choices because the vast majority of people on earth are not currently able to make free choices. That is why the primary element of my Golden Age is to help people raise their consciousness so they can make more and more free choices. And how can this happen? You cannot force people to raise their consciousness. You cannot force people to become more free. You cannot force them to become free. They must choose voluntarily to be free.
Reaching a breaking point
The enigma is, once people have fallen, descended to a state of consciousness where they are so enveloped in the dualistic value judgments and illusions that they cannot make free choices, how do you raise them to the point where they can make freer choices? And how do you help them keep going in this upward spiral of making their choices more and more free? Well, it cannot be forced upon them, so how can it happen? In two ways. First of all, that once you go into duality, you create a downward spiral. Your mind becomes more and more tense. It becomes a more and more unpleasant place to live. Eventually, all beings will reach a breaking point. Even the fallen beings, even though it seems like it takes forever with some of them. But all will eventually reach this breaking point. The problem is, of course, that they only reach this by suffering, by coming to the point where they cannot stand to be in their own minds anymore. Take note here, I am not talking about suffering that is imposed upon them from without. That is just a consequence of their state of consciousness. I am talking about the internal suffering of the enormous stress and tension in people’s minds. They must come to a certain breaking point. But of course, if I was to only wait for a critical mass of people to reach that breaking point, then my Golden Age might not be manifest for another 10,000 years. Therefore, the other element, the second element, is that they see people who are in embodiment like them, and who may also have been very stressed in their minds, but who have now risen above it.
Showing people an alternative
You give them a frame of reference. You see the two elements. First of all, duality becomes more and more intense until people can’t stand it. And then the other element is that they see: “Oh, there is an alternative to duality, to my state of mind. There is a path. And there are other people who seem like me, who have followed that path.” And this is of course where all of you are playing your role, not only in this lifetime, but for most of you in previous lifetimes as well. Naturally, we are not starting at ground zero. The transformation I am talking about of people having enough of duality and seeing the alternative started a long time ago. It was certainly accelerated with the embodiment of the Buddha, and it accelerated again with the embodiment of Jesus, both of them demonstrating an alternative to the dualistic state of consciousness. We have, of course, made progress before we start the Golden Age. And that is why my Golden Age is not a delusion of grandeur. It is a realistic, doable, achievable goal. But as I said, it must be chosen.
And how can people choose what they cannot see? This is the essential enigma of free will. And that is why, as I said, you can come to see the limitations of your own state of consciousness. You can come to see that there is an alternative. And therefore, you can make the choice: “First, I want to get away from the stress and the tension in my own mind.” And then: “I want what I see these other people having. I want to be more free than I have been so far.” That is a voluntary choice that people can make. And then they can start that upward spiral, and as they overcome the blocks in their psychology, their choices can be more and more free. But what is the shift that must happen to people? It is they must realize: “What is it that makes me suffer? What is it that makes my mind an unpleasant place to be? It is not the outer conditions. It’s something in my mind. Because if my state of mind is to change, I have to change my state of mind. I have to change my state of mind, instead of projecting out that those other people have to change their state of mind so I can feel better.
Or that somebody is going to come in, riding on a white horse, changing my mind for me.” It is that central recognition. And you can all play a part in helping people make that switch. Many are ready for it. Many more than you think.
Free will can only exist in a context
Now, let me shift again and talk more about free will. Many people have misunderstood the word “free.” They think freedom means no restrictions: “I can do anything I want. If I have free will, I can make any choice I want.” But if you could make any choice you wanted, what would that require? If there was nothing that limited your choices, where would you have to be? You would have to be in the void. Where there was no form, no structure. And then, what could you do there with this freedom that you have? If you could be absolutely anything, and there was nothing that restricted you, well, what could you do? Nothing. Free will can only exist in some kind of context, in some kind of environment. If you had nothing to relate to, you could not exercise will.
You think about this. There are those who will say: “I’m suffering. I don’t like to be suffering. But I’m only suffering because God created me. God forced me into existence. I didn’t ask to be created. I didn’t have any say in the matter. God forced my existence upon me.” Yeah, absolutely perfectly correct. Why? Because before you existed, what was there that could make the choice: “Do I want to be created and exist, or don’t I?” There was no you to choose to come into existence. Perfectly correct. But does that mean God forced you? No. God gave you the choice of what you want to do with your existence. God gave you the seed of free will. Why is that something forced upon you? There was nothing that could be forced before you existed. Now that you exist, you have a choice. What will you do with your existence? But you only have the choice because you were created in some kind of environment where you as a new being can relate to something. If you were in a vacuum and if you were in a void, well, you might have existence, but you would have no choice. What would there be to choose?
Now you are created. There is some kind of environment that you can relate to. And therefore, you can start creating your sense of self: “Who am I in relation to my environment?” And that is all you can do as a new being. You are not created with the fullness of the Creator consciousness. For what would be the point in creating you at that level of consciousness when your Creator worked its way up to that level of consciousness, therefore, knows all of the levels that it took to get there. Your Creator started out like you, a point-like sense of self in a predefined environment. That is the only way you can grow. The only way. You started out in an environment. It was nothing like what you currently experience on earth. It was a natural planet. Nobody was created and put on a planet like earth from the beginning. You all started on natural planets where there was nothing that forced your will.
The exploratory and the co-creative phase
What does it mean to have a choice? Well, there has to be at least two options. I can go right or I can go left. If there is no right or left, well, you have no choice. What is the basic choice you have as a new being? I can expand my sense of self, or I cannot expand my sense of self. To be or not to be. Nobody forces you not to be. Nobody forces you to be. But when you are in a natural environment, there is no burden associated with being. Hallelujah! No new being ever sat there and said: “Oh, darn it, I was created. The Creator forced this upon me. Poor me. I wish I’d never been created.” All new beings start out looking at their environment with wonder and saying: “Oh, this is interesting. Let me explore that.” And then, they start an exploratory phase. You explore your environment. As we have said, you experience your environment. Then, after some time of exploring, you start wondering: “Could I change this? Could I bring forth something new that isn’t there now?”
Then, you go into the co-creative phase. And then, as you co-create and experience the results of your co-creation, you expand yourself even more. And then, after a very long time on a natural planet, you get to a point where you feel like: “I have explored this environment. I have experimented with my co-creative abilities. I am getting the hang of this,” as they say. But then, not all co-creators, but some co-creators start thinking: “But what can I actually do with my will? What can I do with my imagination? Are there limitations? What are the options I have?” And as we have said, in this phase, which is the more mature phase, you have to wrestle with the potential to use your freedom of choice to go into the state of seeing yourself as a separate being. You have to wrestle with this possibility because it is part of your growth in self-awareness and your ability to exercise your will.
Separation and free will
Now, there are fallen beings who will say: “We did not have free will when we were existing in some predefined environment, but all the rules were defined for us. It was only when we rebelled against God’s creation that we gained truly free will.” That statement is not a truth. It is not a reality. What is it? It is an experience. How can you have that experience? Because you have free will. If your will was not free, surely you would not have the option to go into separation. If God was restricting your will, wanting you to submit to His will, how could you have the option to rebel against what you call God’s will? Therefore, the statement is self-contradictory. It is a lie. But you are allowed to have that experience that by going into separation, you have now claimed the ultimate free will.
Why is this a lie? What is the problem of going into separation? What is the difference between separation and the sense of being connected? In connection, you can see that you can expand your sense of self indefinitely. That is true freedom of will. You can become more and you can continue to become more indefinitely. Is that not freedom of will? Well, when you go into separation, you may think you are defining your own will, but you are defining it within your own mind. You are not relating to something. You see what I started out saying? If you are in a void, you do not really have choices. Now, when you reach the Creator consciousness, you can start with a void and create a world to form from that void because you have the experience to do so. But the fallen beings and those who have rebelled against the process of growth, they are thinking that—even though they are not even ascended, and therefore, very far from the Creator consciousness—they can still define their own reality.
Why are they allowed to do this? Because they are allowed to have the experience. You have an experience by experiencing an environment you have not defined. That is how you start. But when you become more mature, you have to wrestle with this enigma. Could you not define your own environment, and therefore, define your own experience? And you are allowed to go into experimenting with this, but the consequence, of course, is you lose your connection to the whole, to your source, to your Creator, to your higher self, and therefore, your mind becomes a closed system. You become unreachable for your higher self and your Creator. The Conscious You becomes unreachable for your I AM Presence.
Well, the Conscious You is allowed to have that experience of being separate. But this is where we need to recognize that free will always exists in a context. The Conscious You has free will, but not independently of the I AM Presence. For the Conscious You is an extension of the Presence, which is an extension of the Creator. And if the Conscious You could go into separation, deny the existence of its I AM Presence, and could do this indefinitely, this would suspend the free will of the I AM Presence. And that you do not have the right to do, because you are not the only being with free will. Your free will is exercised in the context, your I AM Presence has free will, other self-aware beings have free will. But you are allowed to go into separation where you can believe that you can define your own reality.
How to get out of the maze
And you are given a quite wide time span where you can have this experience. And the purpose of this is that as your mind becomes more and more agitated, you can eventually come to that point where you say: “I’ve had enough of this, is there a way out?” And that, at that moment, where you become open to finding a way out of the prison that your mind has become, at that moment, there will be a teacher who appears and says: “May I make a suggestion?” And if you listen to the suggestion, follow it, you will be given more, and you can, therefore, climb out of it.
Now you may say: “Well, why can’t you just turn around and say, I’ve had enough of this, I want to instantly get out of duality.” What would be the purpose? How do you reach the Creator consciousness? You start in a creation created by another Creator, and you explore whatever can be done in that creation until you understand how it works, why it was designed the way it was. And part of what you can do in this world of form that your Creator has allowed you to do, is go into separation, and this is like going into a maze. You take some turns, for each turn you make a decision, you create a subconscious self, and you go deeper and deeper into the maze. And you may say: “What are you learning while you’re going into the maze?”
What works and what doesn’t work
Well, you are not consciously learning very much, other than perhaps learning what does not work, how to create more suffering and pain for yourself and others. But the moment you turn around and start climbing out of the maze, at that moment the Conscious You begins to learn valuable life lessons. If you were instantly catapulted out of the maze, you would not learn the lessons you learn from walking each of the steps up. And therefore, you, the I AM Presence, would not have the fullness of the learning experience.
You might say: “Well, here we have earth, this unnatural planet, fallen beings in embodiment, people in the fallen consciousness, many people in the duality consciousness completely focused on themselves.” But you see, when a being turns around, no matter how low it has gone, even if it is at the lowest level of consciousness allowed on earth, when a being turns around and starts walking the path back up, that being is also contributing to the manifestation of my Golden Age. Because the Golden Age is about realizing what works in contrast to what does not work, realizing that duality leads to conflict between people and groups of people, that leads to warfare and all of these things. And as more and more people learn the lesson of why this does not work and why they do not want to do it anymore, that will, then, lead to the manifestation of the Golden Age.
A realistic perspective on the golden age
And it is not so, because it is not a realistic goal, that at the end of the 2,000 years of the Age of Aquarius, the earth will have fully returned to the natural state. But it is realistic that warfare and conflict and suffering and poverty can be overcome. But it will still be so that there will be a contrast between the present state of suffering and the better state of the Golden Age. And only in the next cycle is there potential that the earth can fully return to the natural state where the beings in embodiment have no conscious awareness of the dark past, because they have transcended it, they have internalized the lessons, and therefore they do not need to hold on to the past. The next 2,000 years will be a period characterized by contrast, and therefore, people’s free will will be exercised within those parameters: There is something that is undesirable, something that is more desirable. Only when you transcend that stage will people be able to make the free choices where there is no contrast, there is no lower. It is only a choice of becoming more and more and more. And this is the fully natural state. But you cannot rise to that state without having at least some experience with the duality consciousness. You must know it, you must experience it to some degree in order to consciously choose to leave it behind. Again, if you had no experience with it, you could not choose it away.
Wrestling with duality
And therefore, to really attain free will, you must wrestle with duality and consciously choose it away. It does not mean you have to become a fallen being, it does not mean you have to go to the lowest level of consciousness possible on earth, but it means you have to have some experience with duality—see the dynamic, realize why duality does not give you free will, why it limits your will and binds you to a treadmill of ongoing suffering. You must see this consciously so you can choose to leave it behind. And then you rise to that level where you can exercise a much more free will of becoming more and more and more. But as I said, even an ascended master does not have free will in the sense that it can do anything it wants.
Free will in the ascended realm
There are those fallen beings who will say: “But the free will of an ascended master is limited because you cannot choose to go into duality from the ascended realm.” Is your free will limited because there is a choice you cannot make when the reality is that you no longer want to make that choice because you have chosen it, and then, chosen it away. You have consciously chosen to leave that option behind in order to get something that is more. How is that a restriction of your free will?
Therefore, you have a more free will in the ascended state, but even so you are choosing within the context of, for example, the sixth sphere. But then, your will becomes even more free when you rise to a level of the fifth and the fourth and so on. And only when you attain the full Creator consciousness is your will truly free, because now you have the experience so that you can be in a vacuum, but you have options for what you want to create in that vacuum. You are not starting with a point-like sense of self. You have the Creator sense of self, and therefore, you can create something out of the vacuum and that is when you have fully free will as to what to create in the vacuum. But you could, of course, say that you are still going to choose based on your experiences in the world of form where you reach the Creator consciousness. Therefore, we could say there is always a limitation to free will because you can only choose what you can imagine. And is there any limit to the growth in imagination? The answer to that question is blowing in the wind. And even though I have an answer, I will tease you by letting that answer blow in the wind. When you have ascended, you can fathom it. At your current level, I can give you an intellectual understanding but it will not do you much good.
With this, I have stretched your imagination beyond limits. I have stretched your bodies beyond what they can handle at this time of day. But then again, if I did not stretch, how could I give you the freedom to choose more? With this I seal you in a great joy and a great love I have for you and the many, many people on earth who are making a contribution to manifesting my Golden Age. May my joy always be with you.
