Question: If you are an embodied angel, when you ascend do you have the choice to join the angelic realms or do you become an ascended master?



NOTE:
This answer was given on May 20, 2007, during the Shangra-la conference in Ireland.

Answer from
Archangel Michael:


As Maitreya explains in his book, angels were not created to take physical embodiment. So when they do, they take on the duality consciousness, and therefore they must follow the path back to God that is the same path designed for the co-creators who were designed to take on embodiment and thus rise back.

Yet, my beloved, in a sense the question is almost obsolete. For when you truly ascend you cannot actually say that you are an angel or an ascended master. For in a sense, we do not see ourselves that way except when we communicate with those on Earth.

What I am trying to explain is that in heaven there is not the same division between the angelic realm and ascended masters as you see on Earth. In the sense that we see ourselves as part of the body of God. But it is true – from your earthly perspective – that if you descend from the angelic realm into embodiment, then you will ascend again as an ascended being, as an ascended master.

Yet nevertheless there is still so much flexibility in heaven that after ascending you can then take up the office of an angel. For again, what is the difference, really? Human beings like to have this linear division, but in heaven we do not have that same linear consciousness, and thus it is indeed possible for an ascended master to take up the office of an angel, even for an angel to take up another spiritual office, such as that of an Elohim.

So again, on Earth you see things through the linear filter of the linear mind. But you rise above Earth by rising above that mind. And then you truly recognize the reality that the conscious self is who it thinks it is.

And because it is an extension of God's being – and because it has a desire to be an extension and help in God's purpose for creation – well then the conscious self has enough flexibility to take on any spiritual office and fulfill any spiritual function that it desires to experience.
