Master Keys to Personal Christhood

Jesus' course in Christhood for this age

Kim and Lorraine Michaels, 688 pages, 6 X 9, hardcover.

This is a step-by-step course in how to develop personal Christhood. It contains 4 introductory chapters, then 17 lessons that include exercises and finally 9 concluding chapters. Each of the 17 lessons is meant to be repeated daily for 33 days, which involves rosaries and writing exercises.

In other words, this is not a book that is meant to be read from cover to cover. If you do not want to (or have time to) perform the exercises, this book is not for you. Study one of the other books instead.

NOTE: Jesus is encouraging those who want to participate in a group experiment to read the introductory chapters and then start the first lesson all together on September 1, 2008.

NOTE: To complete the exercises, you will need the Spiritual Crisis toolkit. If you have NOT purchased it, we offer a $10 discount when you buy it at the same time as this book.

The price of this book is $50. This is partly because the book is hard cover, meaning higher printing cost, and partly to discourage people from buying it on an impulse without being serious about performing the exercises.

This book is NOT available through Amazon or bookstores but only directly from us.

Jesus' comments on the book:

It is a constant burden to my heart, my beloved, to see how the Christian religion – time and time again – has caused wonderful individuals to go into a vibration of fear, guilt or even a sense that they are not allowed to express themselves, thereby voluntarily shutting off the creative flow. It is a great burden to my heart that the Christian religion has portrayed an image of salvation that presents salvation as a mechanical, non-creative process, my beloved.

Even as the completely simplistic image that the key to salvation is the forgiveness of sins, and that the sacrifice of one person being nailed to a cross 2,000 years ago could pay the debt of humankind for all eternity—for all future sins that could be comitted by people who are lost in the duality consciousness. You see, my beloved, this is a mechanical image of salvation, where people are programmed to believe that living up to outer requirements is enough to open the door to heaven.

Yet, my beloved, did I not say, in my parable about the wedding feast, that the man who entered without wearing a wedding garment was cast into outer darkness—as a symbol for being stuck in his own ego creation? And so, my beloved, I will say to you, “Consider the fact that the ego and the false teachers will do anything possible to prevent you from actually rising to the Christ consciousness.” And it will do this by creating the broad way, the false path, that makes you believe that by fulfilling certain outer requirements – such as being baptized, praying, decreeing, meditating, performing yoga or any other exercise, and by believing in a simple belief system – well then you will mechanically qualify for salvation, my beloved.

Yet I must tell you that there is hardly any spiritual movement on this planet that has understood the reality of the path to Christhood, the reality that the path to Christhood is not a mechanical process. It is indeed a creative process, my beloved. Which is why you cannot give a standard definition of how all people should walk that path. It is indeed an individual path, for you have – each one individually – accepted certain illusions that have caused you to shut off your creativity, to shut off the flow of God's light and love through your being. And therefore, you must individually come to see that these are illusions—and thereby let them go, surrender them, decide to replace them with the truth of Christ.

Yet you must understand that there is an essential difference between the path of Christhood and what I like to call the path of personal growth, my beloved. There is a time when the two paths are actually parallel, for you do need to grow personally to a certain level, before you have enough awareness to actually embrace the path of Christhood. But my beloved, there will come a point – an essential turning point – from which you cannot grow further until you look beyond the path of personal growth. Whereby I mean the focus on yourself, even the growth of your own consciousness, and start looking beyond yourself, your separate sense of self and start raising up the All. Instead of being only focused on yourself as the separate self—instead of expanding your sense of self to encompass all life. 

For that, my beloved, is the Christ consciousness—that you see yourself as all life. You see your greater Self, and therefore you are willing to let God's creativity flow through you for the purpose of raising up the All instead of raising up the separate self. 

And thus, my beloved, in a sense one can say that it is impossible to give forth a course in Christhood that will be valid for all people. Nevertheless, if I was not prone to take on the seemingly impossible, I would not have volunteered to take embodiment as Jesus and be the hierarch of the Piscean age. And thus, I have indeed endeavored to do the impossible by having this messenger and our other messenger take down teachings that have been put together in a course in Christhood, LINK and this is the book that will shortly be announced.

But what I desire to give here is the understanding that this course is not, of course, an end in itself, But it is a first step for those who have walked the path of personal growth to the point where they are beginning to realize that something is missing. That even with all their focus on raising their consciousness or understanding the spiritual side of life, well then, there is still something missing, they are still feeling unfulfilled. And the reason for this is that you are now ready to step away from the focus on the separate self and expand your sense of self and walk that path of not raising up yourself but raising up your greater Self of the All.

For you are ready to take your insights, to take your experience, to take your momentum and redirect it to working to help other people walk the path, instead of being focused on yourself primarily or exclusively. This then is the culmination of the 2,000-year cycle that I have put into this course. And I can tell you that no matter what expectations you have about what this course is about, they are unrealistic. And prepare to have them shattered, as you follow the course.

For you see, my beloved, the path of Christhood is not what most people envision, even what most of you – who know more about my inner teachings than most people on this planet – you still have a grand illusion about what it means to walk the path of Christhood. Because your ego has managed to trick you into thinking that it means that you become raised to some superior status, whereas in reality it means something entirely different that I will not expose here. But I will tell you, “Prepare as you study this course to have your illusions shattered, my beloved.”

And now I will let Saint Germain run with this thought and take it further.

Saint Germain's comments on the book:

My beloved, it is indeed a great joy for all of us that this course has been brought into the physical. Certainly, it is not the end-all and be-all of what could be said about the path to Christhood, for as Jesus has just said, there is no end-all and be-all—For Christhood is an open-ended process that will never end.

And how does this tie in with freedom? You see, freedom is also an open-ended process. Freedom cannot be a permanent state—for then it is no longer freedom. As soon as something becomes permanent, it becomes a prison, and it is no longer free. Do you see this, my beloved?

For it is essential that you ponder the reality of freedom and how it relates to Christhood. For you see, my beloved, you have – all – certain illusions about what it means to be a Christed Being. You think that it is possible to set up some standard for how a Christed Being should be—perhaps based on Jesus, perhaps based on your image of Ascended Masters and what we are like and the teachings we have given. But I tell you, my beloved, that all of these images you are holding on to are graven images, and they will only keep you trapped in the mental box that is created by the ego and the false teachers. And only when you are willing to step outside of that box – and embrace total, absolute freedom, my beloved – only then can you hope to begin to manifest Christhood.

For I tell you, as Jesus says in the course, there is no standard whatsoever for what it means to be a Christed Being. For being a Christed Being means being the ultimate creative being. And in creativity there can be no standard. How can there be, when creativity can never be predicted, can never be planned? For if an activity is planned, it is not a creative activity but a mechanical activity, my beloved.

And thus, do you see that this course is setting the foundation for helping people quickly cross the gap, cross the distance, that they should have crossed over the past 2,000 years by embracing the inner teachings of Christ. But which many have not been able to cross precisely because the true teachings were taken away from them. And thus, my beloved, those who will embrace this course can then quickly step up to the point, where they can begin to embrace the Aquarian-age consciousness. And if this course had not been brought into the physical, then there would have been no point in me in bringing forth the vision of the Aquarian age, for no one would be able to lock in to it.

For again, my beloved, most of you have an unrealistic expectation of the Golden Age, as I mentioned yesterday. You think that it can be defined in some final, absolute plan and that I, Saint Germain, have a firm and fixed plan up here. That I am looking for you to fill in the pieces here and there, as if you were robots who just surrendered your free will to me – as the hierarch of Aquarius – so that you could be the worker bees to fit into the puzzle and thereby gradually assemble the puzzle. But you see, my beloved, that is not my vision at all.

My vision is an overall vision of what could be the Golden Age, but it is not a fixed vision. There is infinite room for individual creativity in that vision, my beloved. There is no final plan! It is a living, breathing plan.
