What does it mean that Jesus is now an ascended master?

By Kim Michaels
If you take the image of Jesus presented by mainstream Christian churches, you m
ight get the following impression:
Jesus is very far away, up there in a remote heaven.
Jesus ascended, but after his ascension he has not spoken to us.
Even though Jesus is said to have all power in heaven and on earth, he is not us
ing that power to speak to us, except maybe through very special people, such as
the Pope or certain ministers.
The basic message is that you cannot achieve a direct, personal relationship wit
h Jesus. You can reach Jesus
and he can reach you
only through the intermediary
of the external church. The Pope is said to be the vicar of Christ, but why do y
ou need a vicar when Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within you?
Jesus was a spiritual revolutionary, and the core of his message is that each of
us can have access to the kingdom of God, meaning the Christ consciousness, dir
ectly within ourselves. This message is revolutionary because throughout history
all mainstream religions have preached the opposite, namely that we cannot reac
h God directly but need an intermediary in the form of an external religion and
its hierarchy of priests.
The key to overcoming this illusion is to realize that Jesus is today an ascende
d master. When you understand what an ascended master is, you will see why no po
wer on earth can limit your access to the ascended masters. You will also see wh
y you need the ascended masters.
What is the ascension
Most Christian churches teach that Jesus died on the cross, was resurrected and
finally ascended and that is where their teachings stop. They usually have little
to say about what it means to ascend and what happens to you after you ascend. I
t is almost as if Jesus disappeared into a black hole after his ascension.
This is in sharp contrast to what Jesus himself said, and which is recorded in t
he scriptures. Jesus stated that because he ascended, he was able to send to us
a part of his Spirit. This comforter or Holy Spirt would be our direct link to J
esus. It was Jesus intention that no power structure on earth could interrupt thi
s direct communication between the Ascended Master Jesus and his unascended disc
iples.
This is perfectly in line with his revolutionary message. In reality, Jesus came
to set us free from all power structures on earth, namely what he often called
the prince of this world. It is clear that for Jesus the Jewish religion and its l
eaders were very much working to keep people trapped in the state of being separ
ated from their God, what Jesus called death, meaning a state of spiritual death.
It now becomes clear that the last thing Jesus would want was that the religion
that claims to represent him on earth would do exactly what all other religions
have done, namely reinforce the sense of separation between us and the spiritual
realm.
Jesus gave his life in order to demonstrate that we can all be free from the pri
son of the prince of this world. We become free by penetrating the illusion that
we are separated from our God, thereby declaring with Jesus: I and my father are
one. After his ascension, Jesus gave his spirit to us so that we would have a di
rect personal link to the ascended Jesus. Why did he do this?
The central dynamic on earth
Jesus perfectly understood the central dynamic on earth. This dynamic is very si
mple and can be learned by reading Jesus words carefully. The dynamic is that mos
t human beings are trapped in an illusion. This illusion makes us think we are s
eparated from our source, from God and the spiritual realm.
Some people are so deceived by this illusion that they deny the existence of a s
piritual realm and spiritual beings. Others believe there is a spiritual realm,
but they are convinced that they are separated from it by a barrier that they th
emselves cannot cross. Only very special people can cross that barrier and they

themselves can enter heaven only by obeying a religion on earth.

What Jesus taught and demonstrated is that this is a complete lie. You are not a
ctually separated from the kingdom of God because it is within you. What does th
is mean? It means that the kingdom of God is a state of consciousness.
Right now most people are in a state of consciousness dominated by separation. T
his is the state that Jesus called death and it makes you convinced that you are s
eparated from God. Yet this sense of separation is a complete illusion, cleverly
created and upheld by the prince of this world. This prince will do anything in
his power to keep you trapped in the illusion of separation, including using an
outer religion. This outer religion makes you believe that if you accept its do
ctrines and follow its rules, you are guaranteed to be saved after this lifetime
.
Jesus preached that the kingdom of God is at hand, meaning you will never attain
it in the future. You will attain it only in the NOW because the key to the kin
gdom is to overcome the consciousness of separation, the consciousness of anti-c
hrist, and raise your consciousness until you can embrace the consciousness of C
hrist. This is how you escape death and attain the life that the Christ consciou
sness offers to all.
What it means to ascend
While you are trapped in the consciousness of separation, you cannot see the spi
ritual realm directly. It is a matter of believing or not believing. When you ri
se above the consciousness of anti-christ, you attain the consciousness of Chris
t and thereby you directly perceive the spiritual realm and the beings who live
in it.
Once you become completely one with the universal Christ consciousness, you can
follow in Jesus footsteps and ascend like he did. Thus, the ascension is the pote
ntial of all human beings. This, of course, is the last thing that the prince of
this world wants you to believe. He wants you to believe that there is only one
way to be saved, namely the external salvation. When you believe this, you deny
the internal salvation and thus you will never discover the kingdom that Jesus
said is within you. You will, remain trapped in the domain ruled by the prince o
f this world.
What is the significance of the ascension? In this world, everything is affected
by the illusion of separation, by the prince of this world. Ascending means tha
t you raise your being to a level that is completely beyond the reach of the pri
nce of this world. He is the prince of THIS world, and NOT the prince of the spi
ritual world. He has no influence at all on the spiritual world, meaning that an
ascended being, an ascended master, is completely beyond the influence of the p
rince of this world. Why is that significant?
Why we need ascended masters
Why do we need ascended masters? Because we are trapped in the illusions of anti
-christ and the ONLY way to escape them is to make contact with something that i
s beyond this illusion. The something that is beyond the illusions on earth are th
e beings who have ascended before us and who have volunteered to help us ascend
as well. Jesus is one of these ascended masters, although not the only one.
The main characteristic of the consciousness of anti-christ is that it makes you
believe that you can define truth on your own. This is illustrated in the story
of Genesis where Eve is tempted by the serpent to eat the forbidden fruit. God
had told her that if she ate the fruit she would die. The serpent says she will
not surely die but will live as a God who knows good and evil.
The reality is that the fruit represents the consciousness of anti-christ, which
is the opposite of the consciousness of Christ. The consciousness of Christ is
meant to ensure oneness between the Creator and its creation. It helps us see th
at we are one with God and that all life is one. Behind all appearances in this
world, there is the oneness of the Christ consciousness.
When you know the oneness behind all appearances, you can never be fooled into t
hinking that the appearances on earth are ultimately real. Thus, you can never b
e fooled by the illusions created by the consciousness of anti-christ. You can n

ever die to the reality of oneness and instead think you are a separate being.
When you eat the forbidden fruit, you become blinded by the consciousness of sep
aration. This means you can now be fooled into believing that an idea created by
the consciousness of anti-christ is an absolute truth. You think that you
or so
me authority figure on earth have the power to define absolute truth here on ear
th. You have become as a God who thinks you can know good and evil through the ill
usion of the separate self (as opposed to the self that knows it is one with God
).
The consciousness of anti-christ is what makes people believe they are separated
from their god, and thus they can define truth separately from God. Instead of
using God/oneness as their frame of reference, they think they can define their
own frame of reference here on earth. They think that if they say something is t
rue, then it will be true.
This explains why you can have people who are absolutely convinced that there is
no God. This explains why you can have people who are convinced that God is as
described by the Christian religion whereas others are convinced that God is as
described by the Muslim religion. It also explains why these two groups of peopl
e can kill each other and feel it is justified by God the same God.
The central realization about the consciousness of anti-christ is that once you
are inside it, there is nothing from the consciousness of anti-christ that will
help you escape it. The illusion is self-reinforcing, you become a self-fulfilli
ng prophecy. The ONLY escape is to make contact with an unvarying reality that i
s beyond the relative realities you see from inside the consciousness of separatio
n.
That unvarying reality is the Christ consciousness. However, the Christ consciou
sness is offered to us only through those beings who have already ascended, eith
er from earth or from another similar environment. Jesus said that because he as
cended to his father, he would send us a comforter. Likewise, many other ascende
d masters have given part of their spirits to add to the indivisible Holy Spirt
that is our ONLY escape from separation.
This is significant because we have gotten ourselves trapped in the consciousnes
s of separation by thinking we could act as separate beings, by thinking we coul
d define an absolute reality based on separation. We can NEVER escape this trap
by thinking we are separate beings. We can escape separation only by coming into
oneness with something that is beyond separation.
The master-disciple relationship
One of the ultimate illusions of the consciousness of separation is that we can
walk the path to a higher state of consciousness on our own, that we can define
our own path. Many spiritual or New Age people think they don t need a teacher, bu
t this is a potentially dangerous attitude.
It is perfectly true that you don t need a teacher here on earth (although a good
teacher can be very helpful). That is exactly what Jesus came to demonstrate. He
demonstrated that because the kingdom of God is within you, you will not be sav
ed by blindly following a religion on earth. Yet he also demonstrated that the O
NLY way to escape separation is to come into oneness with something greater than
your separate self.
The most dangerous illusion is that you can use the separate self to walk the pa
th of oneness. In reality, you can walk the path of oneness ONLY by coming into
oneness with an ascended master. The ascended masters are the beings who are app
ointed by God to serve in the capacity of our spiritual teachers.
Contrary to what many people think, this does not mean that they only give us te
achings. They give us teachings in order to help us question the illusion of sep
aration. However, we will not do justice to the ascended masters until we use th
eir teachings to start coming into oneness with them.
Why Christianity is so dangerous
In the very beginning, the movement of Jesus followers was entirely based on the
direct contact with the comforter, the Holy Spirit. This means that the early Ch
ristian movement was guided directly by the Ascended Master Jesus. As Christiani

ty started to become more organised, and especially after the formation of the R
oman Catholic Church, this direct link to Jesus was lost. Instead, Christianity
became a centralized religion, controlled by people who thought they were gods o
n earth and could define what was the true doctrines of Christ.
One effect of this is that many of today s most openminded spiritual people know f
rom deep within themselves that Christianity is false. Unfortunately, many of th
em also reason that this must mean Jesus was either a false teacher or is insign
ificant to them today.
The deeper reality is that if you chose to embody in an environment affected by
Christianity it was most likely because you wanted to help resurrect the true kn
owledge of what Christ is. This is most likely part of your divine plan that you
chose. How can you fulfil this aspect of your divine plan if you reject or igno
re Jesus as an ascended master?
What does it mean to restore the true teachings of Christ? It means to restore t
he knowledge that Jesus did not go into a black hole after he ascended. He is he
re with us today as an ascended master and through his spirit he is willing to h
elp us rise above the consciousness of anti-christ so we can fulfil our spiritua
l mission. What can restore the true teachings of Christ except that millions of
people make a direct, personal inner contact with the Ascended Master Jesus?
The significance of this website
This website is sponsored directly by the Ascended Master Jesus. It is Jesus offi
cial website for helping today s spiritual seekers overcome the illusions promoted
by mainstream Christianity and overcome their rejection of Jesus based on these i
llusions.
Surely, there are many people who will deny or ridicule this claim. This is not
different from when Jesus walked the earth in a physical body. He was also rejec
ted or ridiculed by many.
It is foreseeable that the authority figures in the fields of both science and r
eligion will reject and ridicule this website. It is even foreseeable that some
people will dedicate their lives to tearing down this website, its teachings and
the person who has done the physical aspects of the work.
Yet despite all claims made to the contrary, let it be stated clearly that this
IS the official website of Jesus Christ for restoring his true teachings. This i
s not denying that Jesus is working with many people in various capacities for r
estoring aspects of his true teachings. Yet this website is sponsored directly b
y Jesus and the teachings are given directly by him and other ascended masters.
You may ask why Jesus is working through a human messenger and putting his teach
ings on a website. Why isn t Jesus appearing in the sky in some undeniable manifes
tation, like many Christians expect? The answer is that on earth, free will reig
ns supreme.
Knowing what kind of planet you are on
Although Jesus has all power in heaven and on earth, he cannot use his power ind
iscriminately on earth and the reason is the Law of Free Will. Free will mandate
s that if self-aware beings want to experience what it is like to be in the cons
ciousness of separation, they must be allowed to have this experience. That is w
hy the forbidden fruit was in the garden and why it was possible for all of us t
o eat of it.
Human beings trapped in separation often become very self-centered and filled wi
th their own importance. One example is the medieval Catholic doctrine that the
earth was the center of the entire universe.
In reality, there are billions of galaxies and billions of planets with self-awa
re lifeforms. The entire material universe is a giant educational institution in
which self-aware beings are presented with the opportunity to raise their consc
iousness by experiencing an environment that corresponds to their current level
of consciousness.
Most of the planets with self-aware lifeforms are at a much higher level of cons
ciousness than earth. Earth is actually one of the lower planets. Most self-awar
e beings on other planets are consciously walking the path of raising their cons

ciousness. Obviously, this is not the case on earth, which shows that earth is a
planet for those who have gone so far into the labyrinth of separation that the
y believe there is no way out or that the way out is separated from themselves.
Many people on earth are so trapped in separation that they refuse to take respo
nsibility for their own growth. This means they are looking for an external savi
or to come and do all the work for them. This explains why Jesus, after Christia
nity became dominated by separation, was portrayed as exactly such a savior.
A small group of people on earth have a need to dominate others. These are the p
eople who have set themselves up as gods on earth, seeking to have absolute power
over their subjects. They are the ones who took over and perverted the Christian
religion. There is an unholy alliance between those who want to dominate others
and those who do not want to take responsibility for themselves. This is the ce
ntral dynamic that dominates earth right now.
The Law of Free Will mandates that self-aware beings must be allowed to experien
ce this dynamic until they have had enough of it and want more. The moment they
want more, a way to rise above their illusions will be offered to them by the as
cended masters.
Yet because there are still many people trapped in illusion, the way offered mus
t be of such a form that it can easily be denied by the people who are not yet r
eady to take responsibility for themselves. This is why Jesus, when he was in a
physical body, did and said certain things that made it easy for people to rejec
t him. That is why this website has a form that makes it easy for people to reje
ct it.
The motto of the ascended masters is: When the student is ready, the master appea
rs.
This website has appeared to you.
If you have read to this point
instead of rejecting this article for any number
of reasons you might consider that you have found this website because you are r
eady for it. You outer mind and your intellect might have many arguments for rej
ecting this website and its message. Yet your heart will tell you the truth of y
our inner being.
Are you one of the people who have volunteered to restore the true teachings of
Christ in this age? If so, this website (and the associated sites) is the best s
tarting point you will find for developing your direct, inner relationship with
the ascended Master Jesus or another ascended master.
After you develop this inner contact, you will no longer need this website becau
se you will now get directions from within. This means the website will have ful
filled the purpose for which it was created.
