How to speak out without interfering with the free will of other people
Question: The enigma is, you want to speak out, express your own will, but you do not want to interfere with other people’s free will.
Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 Kazakhstan Conference.
Well, there is not just one way to look at this. Because I cannot give you a formula that says this is what you should always do, because it is always an individual situation. It depends on who you are. It depends on your level of spiritual growth and maturity. But it also depends on the other person or the other people you are dealing with. I think many of us who are spiritual people, we are not aggressive. I do not think most of us need to be afraid of being too forceful because we are usually not. For most of us, the problem is to dare to express ourselves. And the masters have said several times that we need to say what we feel about a situation and how we look at it, without telling the other person what they should do or what they should not do, so that we express ourselves and our feelings and the way we look at the situation. And then we let other people do with that whatever they want to do.
What I have done myself over the years is that I have been asking myself many, many times, why I react to other people the way I do. If I say something, and somebody else does not agree with it, and I have a reaction to this, I ask myself: “Why do I react? And then I look for the self that causes me to react, and I try to get rid of it. Because I know that we need to strive for Christhood and Buddhahood where we do not react to other people.
What I have found is that if I am dealing with other people and I have some reaction in myself, if I want them to react a certain way, then there is a certain tension in me. And it is almost certain that the other people, they may not sense this consciously, but subconsciously they sense this tension, and they often react to it. If I get irritated, the other person gets irritated.
I have always tried to work on myself so that when I say something to other people, I can say it in a neutral way. And I have discovered that if I am neutral in myself, then many times the other people do not react negatively. They actually listen to me much better when I am neutral. It does not always work because some people, their minds are so closed, they do not want to hear anything. The thing is, if I am neutral, I am not expecting a certain reaction from them. So I do not feel rejected, or I do not go into a negative reaction when I do not get it. I just let it go. I just say: Ok, I said what I needed to say to that person and what they do with it, is up to them.” Whatever I do, whatever situation I have, I always try to look at myself and see if I have a reaction. And then find out why I have that reaction, go after that self, and overcome it when I see it.
Question: He is doing an invocation where he calls for the binding of fallen beings, and he is afraid that will interfere with their free will?
Kim: When you make an invocation, you are always doing it in the name of the I AM that I AM, Jesus Christ. And what that means is that you are surrendering your own will to the higher will and the vision of Christ, so that your calls are only carried out by the masters in accordance with the vision of Christ. Therefore, if it would interfere with the free will of the fallen beings, then the masters would not bind them. But it is important for us to make the call because the more people in embodiment, the more it gives the masters the authority to bind the fallen beings.
But many fallen beings also do not really have free will anymore, because their minds are so closed that they cannot make a free choice. If they are deliberately harming other people, then the masters can bind them temporarily. Say there are fallen beings that want to kill a thousand people. That is violating the free will of those thousand people. That is why the masses can then step in and bind these fallen beings until the situation changes and they might be let loose again, or they might be permanently removed from earth, depending on their state of consciousness.
Question: He is saying that before, he used to be more aggressive than what he is doing now. He respected the free will of others, but he proved that he is still not neutral, he still has human aggression. But he wants to be gentler and more respectful to others. How can you express yourself and be respectful to other people?
Kim: Well, what I have seen in myself, and other people, is that we often, as spiritual people, have this drive to express ourselves and tell other people. We feel like we have to say something. And the masters sometimes also tell us to speak out. We feel like we have to do this. But because we are not neutral, it puts us in tension. And I think that is what he means by aggression. We feel like we have to do it and we have to get a result. That is not respecting other people’s free will because then we are trying, we are pushing. We want people to react in a certain way. What I have tried to do in myself is to look at: Why do I want other people to react in a certain way? Or why do I even want them to react? What is my intention for speaking out?
And I have worked for a long time on this issue. It took me many years to really deal with this. And what I found was that I just have to come to a point where I do not have any intention for how other people should react. Because it is only when I do not have any intention that I respect their free will. The difficulty is, of course, what about my own free will? I had a period where I thought: Well, I do not even want to say anything. If I can see that people are not open, I am not going to say anything. But that is not respecting my own free will. What I have come to is that I just share myself.
If you look at my YouTube videos, I am just sharing myself. What I have come to understand, what I have come to see about the path, who I am, what state of consciousness I am in. I am just openly sharing myself. And I do not have the intention that people should react in a certain way. And I know that some people will disagree. And, you know, that is what it is. But it took me a long time to look at myself and say, what is it in me? Why do I feel I have a certain reaction?
And one of the things that really helped me was the teachings that the masters have given in the books about Healing Your Spiritual Traumas, and the other books in that series that we have just done the vigil for spiritual healing on. And I had a really big breakthrough. It is now several years ago when I woke up one morning and I had this sentence come to me: “There is nothing you have to do on earth.”
And before that, I always felt there is something I have to do here. I am here for a reason. I have a purpose. And it did not get any easier by being in the Summit Lighthouse, where they talked about the Divine plan, and we were here to help spread the teachings, and bring Saint Germain’s Golden Age. I always felt like I had to do something, but there was always a tension in me about it. And after this breakthrough, I realized there is nothing I have to do. Instead of feeling like I am forced to do something or that I am pushed to do something, I could now say: “What do I actually want to do on this planet?”
I mean, it is a difficult planet to be on. People are in so many different states of consciousness. Many people, their minds are closed. They only want to hear what they want to hear, and if you say something that they do not want to hear, they get very angry and aggressive with you. And that was the reaction I did not like. I felt like I had to speak out, but then when people got angry, I thought: Is it even worth it to speak out? But after that, I came to the point where I could say: “I am not forced to do anything here. What do I want to do? Well, I want to express who I am. I just want to leave some kind of record on earth of who I am and how I look at life. And then people can do with it whatever they want. And if people ignore it, let them ignore it, so what?” At least it is brought into the physical where people can find it. That was a very big relief for me, and I have worked a lot with it since then, but it was overcoming this sense of feeling forced that I have to do something. That was a very important breakthrough for me.
