Are You Willing to Allow Your Life to Change?

This message is the first channel I recorded for this class.

For reasons I did not fully understand at the time, it was three months before I came back and recorded the rest. When I finally did, I simply started over and channeled eight new sessions, released under the title How to Change Your Life.

On 22 February 2026, as I was preparing to re-release this class on my new website with a new name, I ran across that original recording and almost deleted it. After all, why keep it if I was not using it?

But something inside said, Maybe you should listen to it first.

I realized then that I had never listened to it after channeling it, and I remembered why.

It scared me.

As I channeled this message, I felt the energies of the whole class — the beauty, the directness, the uncompromising clarity.

And I wondered: Am I worthy, or even capable, of creating and offering to the world something so direct and so profound?

In hindsight, I see that I felt a lot like the caterpillar, staring at the beginnings of its cocoon — its own transformation — wondering if it dares to go where no caterpillar has ever come back from.

And indeed, it marked the beginning of a much deeper level of transformation for me.

So I listened, and realized that this was, and still is, the true beginning of this class.

Stunned, I asked my soul what had happened, and the answer was simple: There are reasons for everything the human does not understand. There was no mistake. But now it is time.

So I took a couple extra days to transcribe and prepare the message, and for the first time ever, here it is.

Now take a few slow, deep breaths.

Get comfortable.

And when you are ready, begin.

— John

This transcript has been lightly edited from the original recording to ensure that the intended meaning is conveyed as clearly as possible. Note that Hmm, Mmm, Ahh, and … signify places to pause, and to feel into yourself and what is being said. Comments in [square brackets] are editorial explanations rather than part of the message.

I am that I am!

Master John of Magical Service, here to do some magic with you today.

Ahh…

I call myself Master John, because I am John's soul, John's divinity, John's I Am that I Am, and John the human, all combined together.

Oh, and that's not all. I am... Oh, I have had so many lifetimes on Earth. So many human incarnations. A few of them were also called John, but most of them had other names. And I am all of them, all together. All combined together.

More than that, I am the wisdom collected and distilled from every experience that any of these parts of me have ever had, or ever will have, all distilled into this metaphorical golden nectar. And that is the most incredible substance you cannot even imagine, and it is what you drink as you come out of your cocoon as the butterfly.

You wonder why your life doesn't work the way it used to.

It is because you don't have teeth anymore, to chew on those leaves! You don't have the patience, or the brain, to allow you to continue down that linear path that the caterpillar was on. It just doesn't work for you anymore, because you are the butterfly.

Oh, there are still parts of you that think they are the caterpillar. There are a few places in your life where it sort of still works, but they are becoming fewer and fewer.

You see, for you it doesn't happen all at once like it does for the caterpillar becoming the butterfly. It happens, but it's a process.

If you look at it in terms of the whole of your existence, it's happening very, very quickly. But for you, the human, it takes some time.

Oh, we know you're impatient. We know you want it to be over with. It hurts sometimes, this process. Sometimes it hurts a lot! But it's what you chose.

So, this is our new class on how to change your life.

Oh, indeed, everybody wants to change their life. And for most of you, even though you are not a caterpillar anymore, you keep acting like it.

For the caterpillar, life is very simple. Go this way, go that way, eat that leaf, eat this leaf. It was very binary, you could say. Very simple.

For the butterfly, it's an entirely different existence. It's actually easier, but until you allow yourself to understand what's happening, oh, it's going to hurt. Because it doesn't work the way it did for the caterpillar.

Hmm…

How to change your life?

It's very simple. You just change it.

That's all! And even that's too complicated.

You want a different life? You just live a different life. That's all.

Ha ha!

Oh, but for the human… The human cannot even comprehend something that simple.

So, we're going to spend this class exploring all the ways that—well, at least a few of the ways we couldn't possibly cover them all—we're going to spend this class exploring some of the ways that humans complicate this incredibly simple thing of having a different life.

Ahh…

Oh, and let's get something very clear, right off the bat. We hear people listening to other ascended masters, like Adamus Saint-Germain or various other masters. They hear these very simple truths and they go, “Oh, you don't have a body anymore, so how can you possibly know what it's like to be in this human existence?”

Well, that's actually a big fat excuse. That's all it is! Because you really don't want to hear it. You don't want to hear that it's so simple.

So, we want to make this very, very clear: I have a human walking on this planet right now, and I am speaking through his voice to you.

Oh, and he's been exploring what we're going to talk about for 30 years, or more. And not only that, I have well over a thousand other lifetimes living in other timelines at this very moment, exploring life as a human. It's only from the human perspective that it seems like they're in the past or the future. They are all right now.

So when I say something to you, I say it as the human and the master, combined. And do not ever say that we don't know what we are talking about because we are not human, for nothing could be further from the truth.

So, let's get clear right now: if what we are saying doesn't resonate with you, fine. Admit it and move on. But we don't think you would be here, and you certainly wouldn't be purchasing this class, if what we're talking about doesn't resonate with you.

So let's get very clear. We know what we are talking about.

How it applies to you? That depends on you. But do not say that we don't know what it's like to be human.

Everything we say here comes from the combined experience of the human John, the master or soul self, and all of these other humans that we have been, many of whom are exploring these very questions right now in their own way.

So, let it be clear that if you don't want to hear what we are saying, that's your choice. It's not because it doesn't apply, or because we somehow don't have the experience.

Always use your discernment. Feel what's right for you. But don't make excuses about it.

And dear friend, when you say that one of these other ascended masters, or whoever they are, don't know what they are talking about because they don't have a body right now, that's an excuse, pure and simple. So give it up.

Every ascended master there is has been through many, many, many human lifetimes. Many, many hundreds of human lifetimes, because that's what it takes.

It's getting easier. In the future it won't take so many lifetimes. But up until now it has taken well over a thousand lifetimes to reach that point of realization, of enlightenment. Of ascension, as you call it.

And once again, it is only from the limited human perception that those lifetimes are in the past or the future. The truth is, they are all happening right now.

Every ascended master that speaks to you, all of their lifetimes are happening in the present moment. They are living them out right now, even as they speak to you from their completion. From the combined wisdom of all of those lifetimes.

So, no more excuses, okay?

Be honest with yourself. We don't care what you say to us, but be honest with yourself.

If you don't understand just say, “I'm not sure I fully understand that yet.”

If it terrifies you, be honest. “I'm too scared to act on that right now.”

That's okay! This isn’t a race.

But be honest and say, “I'm too scared to do that right now. I'm too scared to quit my job, or whatever else I know I need to do.”

That's okay! But be honest. Don't make excuses. Don't blame it on the masters, who have been through, oh, just as much experience as you have. And who made it.

So, be honest with yourself. It's okay to be too scared to take that next step. But if you won't acknowledge to yourself that you're too scared to take it, then you are never going to get past it. And there's this funny thing that happens.

You see, you made this choice a long time ago. You said to your soul, “Okay Soul, I think I'm done here.”

And your soul said, “Are you ready to come home?”

And you said, “Well, now that you put it that way, I'm not sure. I've heard that it's possible now to stay on Earth for a while in my enlightenment. To bring back my memory, to bring back my soul, and to stay a little while on Earth in full consciousness. And I'd really like to have that experience.”

And your soul said, “Okay, then that's what we'll do.” And here you are.

Oh, even your soul didn't know how rough this journey was going to be. The caterpillar has no idea when it goes into that cocoon that it's going to dissolve into a puddle of goo, and that when it comes out it's going to be an entirely different creature and life is going to be entirely different.

You didn't know how painful the process was going to be. Because, you see, the ones who went before—even the ones who stayed for a few years—they did it different. They didn't go where we are going, where you and your soul are going.

Mmm…

So here you are. The human is freaking out, because life isn't working anymore. It's getting very, very boring.

So many of you are asking, why is my life so boring? Why is it so miserable? When is it going to change so that I have more fun? So I can let this job go? So I can stop spending all my time working for other people, so I can just barely pay the bills so I can keep on living and working?

Oh, John used to get so frustrated, because the harder he worked the more bills he had and the harder he needed to work. He had no time for himself, and he would cry out to his soul, to me, and say, “Dear Soul, I have to change something, and I don't know how!”

Well, it took a long time. It took some difficult experiences.

A point came where he knew he had to quit his job, but he asked me, “How am I going to pay my bills? How am I going to pay the rent? How am I going to pay all these things I have to pay for to live?”

But I was pushing him hard at that point and I was like, “Just cut your time back a little bit so you have some time to spend with me.”

Well, he couldn't hear me well enough then to hear that, so I put the idea in his mind that he needed to write. He thought maybe he could write a book that he could sell to pay the bills, if only he could have enough time to do it.

Finally, one day he went to his boss, because he couldn't stand it anymore. He made up his mind to go talk to his boss and cut his hours back. He didn't know how it would work out, but he knew he had to. He didn't have a choice anymore.

He walked into his boss's office and before he could even begin, his boss handed him the blueprints for a new house and asked him to work up a quote for wiring it. So he did.

He went back to his boss and gave him the quote, and he started to open his mouth to say, “I have to take some time off.”

But before he could get the words out his boss said, “Great! Go get started on the job. See you later.”

And John walked out of the office feeling absolutely horrible inside, because he had let himself down. He hadn't been strong enough to ask for what he really needed. He was too afraid.

So he thought, well, this job will take about a week, maybe a little longer, but I can manage that. And he went to work.

And, on what would have been the last day of that job, he was walking through this new house and tripped over something, and fell. And as he hit the floor, he heard a big pop in his arm.

He picked himself up, reached for the tools that had gone flying everywhere, and his arm didn't work. He had dislocated his right shoulder. Then he started passing out, and he sat down real quick.

And he sat there as the worst pain he had ever experienced in his life came over him, and he laughed. He said, “Damn it, I get it. And from this point forward I will never, ever again, do things I don't want to do just to pay the bills, because it's not worth it!”

Well, it was a difficult lesson. A painful lesson. And for the next three months, he couldn't work. His arm didn't work right. It took that long to heal enough to where he could even lift it away from his body, so he couldn't work.

He thought, well, maybe I can write now, and he fixed his computer so that he could work the keyboard with his arm in a sling. And then the computer died, and he didn't have money for a new one.

Because, you see, the writing and the book idea, that was just me trying to show him that there are actually infinite potentials. But the human can only see one or two, so I showed him that one to try to get him to trust. But that wasn't ever the real potential, so I needed him to just sit there and trust me. And he did.

It was difficult. It was a difficult time for him, because he couldn't do anything else. But he got it, and that was John's last job. That was in 1995.

Oh, he's done a lot of things since then that paid money. I helped him start a computer repair business years later that paid his bills for a long time, but I never let it get big enough to where it distracted him too much from me, and from this journey of coming into our completion.

Mmm...

So, dear friend, here you are. You've already made the choice, or you wouldn't be here listening to this or reading this. You have already made the choice, you and your soul together, so at this point it's okay to be scared. It's okay to not know how things are going to work out.

Oh, that's just a fact of life for an ascended master: You will not know how things are going to work out!

John doesn't know what he's going to do tomorrow. He doesn't know how he's going to pay the rent at the end of the month. He doesn't know how anything is going to work out.

But at this point he absolutely knows that it will work out. And it always does, in beautiful, amazing ways.

So, you made the choice.

It's okay to say, “I'm afraid.” Your soul understands that. And if you are honest enough to say it to yourself, “I'm too afraid to take that step right now,” your soul will hold you in that place. As in, it will hug you in that place.

But a point will come where you will have to make that choice, otherwise… Oh, it's not that your soul is going to force an accident on you. That's you. That's you, your body, your human, saying, “I can't stand this anymore! I have to do something about this!”

And so you have an accident. Something happens. You get fired from your job. Or whatever it is. And it hurts. It can be the biggest pain you've ever known!

But you don't have to go through that.

You truly do not have to go through that.

You can be honest with yourself.

You can acknowledge the fear.

You can work with your soul.

And at some point, you'll have to take the step.

But if you are honest with yourself, and with your soul, if you are willing to walk through the fear, it will be a lot easier. And it won't hurt nearly as bad.

Oh, there will still be pain. There will still be fear. There will still be hurt. But it's not going to be nearly as bad if you are willing to do what you have to do, and to own the fear instead of making excuses.

Mmm...

So, do you want to change your life?

The human goes, “Of course I do. I need a new car. I need a new home. I need a new job.” (No, you don't.) “I need so much change in my life!”

So we'll ask you again: Are you ready, are you willing, to allow your life to change?

You see, the caterpillar doesn't get to dictate what its new life looks like. And that's a really good thing, because the caterpillar cannot even imagine what it's like to be a butterfly.

By the same token you, dear human, do not get to dictate to your soul what your new life is going to look like.

It doesn't work. It creates havoc in your life, because you are just fighting with yourself. And it hurts, a lot.

So I'll ask you again: Are you willing to allow your life to change?

You see, your soul knows what makes you happy. Your soul knows what thrills you. Your soul knows that you've come to the end of your journey and you don't need all that ugly, painful stuff in your life anymore.

It's time for celebration. It's time for joy. It's time for some incredible new potentials that you cannot even imagine yet, but that will thrill you beyond anything you can even imagine.

So once again, are you willing to allow your life to change?

Mmm...

The human says, “Of course I am. I want it so much!”

Ah, but at the same time, whenever the human feels change happening, it grabs on tight. It holds on so tight to all the things it knows. It's terrified of the change, because from here on, the future is unknown.

Hear that, dear friend: From here on, the future is unknown.

You haven't been there yet. You haven't experienced it yet. You cannot even imagine it. It is unknown, and nothing terrifies the human more than the unknown.

So, are you willing to walk into the unknown?

Are you willing to allow Soul, or whatever you want to call that deeper part of you, that divine part of you, are you willing to allow it to carry you into and through the unknown?

You see, your life is going to change, one way or another, because you have chosen that. You can do it the hard way, the painful way, or you can do it the easier way.

It's still going to be painful at times. It's going to be confusing as heck. And it's going to thrill you.

It doesn't have to be devastating. But it will be, if that's what it takes. Because you already have that agreement with your soul.

You said, “I know this is going to be scary, and I'm going to have a hard time sometimes, so you have to push me. You have to do whatever it takes to keep me on track.” So that's part of the agreement.

You can try to back out of that agreement. Maybe it'll work, but probably not. Because you are too committed to it.

So you're going to give yourself—it's not some outside force, it's not even your soul giving you these difficult, painful experiences. It's you. It's you the human going, “I can't stand this anymore, so I'm going to do whatever it takes to change something! Even if my brain thinks it's a stupid idea, I'm still going to get through this somehow!”

So, how do you want to do it?

How do you want to do it?

In the rest of this class we're going to talk about how the energies work. We're going to talk about allowing change in your life.

John almost said “creating change in your life” and, well, that's true too. But the human by itself is not the creator. The human is the allower.

You see, the change is already here. It's right in front of you, but you haven't been willing yet to receive it.

Oh, some of you have, and you know what we're talking about. For you, it's time to take this deeper, if you wish.

So, we're going to talk about the change and how it works and what it's like, and try to help your mind understand so it's a little bit easier for it to let go. Because right now your mind is…

Ah, we were going to say it's the biggest thing standing in your way, and in a way that's true. But it's not really standing in your way. It's just going through its process of changing.

The human lives in this concept of time. And you wanted to have the full experience, so you are walking through the process of allowing the change to happen.

Ha! Mostly you're fighting it every step of the way, so we are going to be talking about how to stop the battle and how to let it happen.

We are going to be talking about how to live your new life right now, because that is the only way you'll ever get to it.

You cannot get from here to there. You can't get from a life you hate to a life you love. It doesn't work.

It's quantum. You just live a new life.

We're going to talk about what that means. We're going to try to help your mind to understand the simplicity.

Oh, it's so very simple!

Bringing in the life of…

Ha! No. John was going to say “the life of your dreams.” But why would you want a life from a caterpillar dream?

Your dreams, oh, you hold on to them so tightly. But you have to understand that they are the dreams of the caterpillar. They are about caterpillar life, and now we are going to go way beyond those.

We are going to bring in the butterfly life.

Ha! There is a way in which the butterfly doesn't even have dreams, because its life is so amazing, so beautiful, so free!
