Higher teachings on the growth of the I AM Presence and the Conscious You
Question: I was surprised to hear Lucifer could have become a very sophisticated ascended master during his trial in the My Lives book. I imagine most of Lucifer’s sophistication came from his experience with the duality fallen consciousness, but exactly how that translates to becoming a part of one’s spiritual essence effectively is something I would love the masters to speak of. What we store in our causal bodies literally has the power to mend or change our I AM Presence in this way.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Chicago Conference

What is stored in your causal body is the experiences that the I AM Presence has had and some of those experiences come through the Conscious You that is sent into embodiment in an unascended sphere. Other experiences are from the I AM Presence experiencing itself in the spiritual realm.

It is not like the I AM Presence is sitting up there in a coma while the Conscious You is in embodiment. The I AM Presence is interacting with other I AM Presences in the spiritual realm, with the ascended masters and it is exploring various aspects of the ascended realm, the lowest level of it.

If we look at the My Lives book, it was given at a certain time for a certain level of consciousness. We had a certain level of teachings out there and so, what you need to recognize is, that is in a sense, you could say that it is not correct to say that Lucifer – his Conscious You – could have become a sophisticated ascended master. His I AM Presence could become a sophisticated ascended master, but when the Conscious You is dissolved in the second death, this does not actually limit the I AM Presence.

In some cases, the I AM Presence wants to send another Conscious You. In fact, in most cases, the I AM Presence, when one Conscious You falls into the fallen consciousness, the I AM Presence sends at least one other Conscious You into embodiment. Some I AM Presences send more but we have not spoken about that to avoid making it too overwhelming and confusing. Some of you will know that you are not the only extension of your I AM Presence in embodiment in this unascended sphere.

The picture is much more complex in reality than even what is said in the My Lives book or even some of our teachings. We deliberately give teachings that help you rise up but does not overwhelm you and confuse you.

What you need to recognize here is that the I AM Presence grows through experience. It is an experiential being. The I AM Presence can have certain mental images, theories, and a certain understanding. But the I AM Presence does not grow through understanding. It grows through experience, or we could say it grows through comparing its understanding to experience.

Anything that the Conscious You experiences in the unascended sphere, for the I AM Presence, it does not have the coloring that it has for the Conscious You. To the I AM Presence, it is an experience and any experience can be turned into a vehicle for growth.

Whatever the Conscious You of Lucifer has gone through, the I AM Presence of that Conscious You (I am deliberately not saying the I AM Presence of Lucifer because the I AM Presence is not identifying itself as Lucifer), but that I AM Presence grows from it, because part of what you are meant to learn in an unascended sphere is the duality consciousness and the possibility of going into the state of separation.

You have to come to a point where you have explored that enough where you can voluntarily and with total peace, give it up. That is what Lucifer’s Conscious You was not willing to do but the I AM Presence was willing to do it.

Therefore, you can say that even the experiences you have in duality and separation, actually expand the experience base of the I AM Presence, and the more experiences you have the more potential for growth there is.

Now, you have to be careful here. I am not thereby saying we are recommending you go into the fallen consciousness so your I AM Presence can have more experiences. These are choices that are made at the level of the Conscious You and the choice to fall is always independent of the free will of the I AM Presence. The I AM Presence does not want the Conscious You to fall, but I am just saying that nothing is wasted.

Now you have to then look at it from another perspective. You have the I AM Presence that sends the Conscious You that becomes Lucifer. And that Conscious You goes into the fallen consciousness and it spends a very, very, very long time – even several unascended spheres time – in the fallen consciousness. But a being who fell in the fourth sphere, there were other beings in the fourth sphere who did not fall. They ascended, because they came to that point where they had seen enough of the duality consciousness so they could voluntarily give it up.

We can say yes, certainly, Lucifer’s I AM Presence can become a sophisticated ascended master because of the experiences, but another I AM Presence that ascended from the fourth sphere and has spent all this time growing in the ascended realm is still way, way, way ahead of Lucifer’s I AM Presence. In other words, this is not the ultimate way to growth or the fastest way to growth. It is a detour, but it is important to realize that nothing is wasted.

It can feel that way when we are in embodiment and you can very easily come to think: “Oh, all the mistakes you have made and all the things you have gone through and all this human nonsense – how can this possibly help your I AM Presence grow?” But it does in a certain way.

Now of course, you can say that going through a certain human experience has a certain lesson for the I AM Presence, so does that mean that going through that experience a thousand times still has a lesson for the I AM Presence and no, in most cases, it does not.

In other words, any new experience helps the I AM Presence grow, but an experience that is repeated and repeated and repeated does not lead to new growth. That is where you have to say this is for the Conscious You being allowed to outplay it is free will until the Conscious You has had enough. You might say that after one experience of human nonsense the I AM Presence has had enough of human nonsense or at least that particular form, so it is just a matter of when the Conscious You will have had enough of that form of human nonsense.

It is important for you to contemplate what we have said many times – that the fallen beings imposed a standard. And this has infused life on earth to the point where it is very easy from the unascended state to project that there are certain experiences that are productive and certain experiences that are not. The I AM Presence does not look at it that way, it is not caught up in it in that way.

Really, the I AM Presence it needs a certain amount of experiences in order to grow, and it grows through experience. And you can say, if you look at it from an overall perspective, you can say when the seventh sphere was created, there was a certain level of the energy that was denser than the previous spheres, that was determined this is the base level of this sphere.

Based on this level of energy, there is a certain amount of experiences that can be created in this sphere and we can therefore say that it can be predicted what it means to go into duality in this sphere and how far you can go into duality in this sphere. We might say, to give you an illustration, that you could say that there is this sphere and there is a line in the middle and above that are experiences you are having beyond duality, and below it are experiences in duality. Below that is like a mine that goes into the earth and has various twists and turns and this is how you can explore duality and there is a predefined limit as to how far you can go into duality in this sphere.

What you can say is from an overall perspective, in order for the sphere to ascend, some beings will have to explore all of the twists and turns in the duality consciousness, how far they can go into separation. Somebody has to explore that in order for the sphere to be complete. Now, this does not mean it is predestined who is going to go into duality. This is a choice made by the Conscious You, but from an overall perspective of the learning process of the sphere, even the ascended masters who created the sphere, this needs to be explored and someone needs to experience it in order for the entire process of creating this sphere to be completed.

I know this raises some perspectives, that can take some contemplation to wrap your minds around and there may be further teachings we will give on this at a certain point. But the main thing I want to say here is that if you are looking at the process through the standard created by the fallen beings, you cannot grasp how it looks from the ascended state where we do not look at it with this evaluation of right and wrong, good and bad, should happen, should not happen.
