YESHUA: The Feminine Divine

Image by Jean-Pierre Dalbéra

An Excerpt from Dialogues with Yeshua and Mary Magdalene
By Mercedes Kirkel

Yeshua: The Feminine is the path of finding God in the midst of form and manifestation. This may happen when an individual sees an exquisite sunset or spends time in the mountains or at the ocean or is somehow connected with nature, and they feel their heart open. You described that you often weep. That’s generally a response to being touched by the Feminine divine. It’s feeling God, however you relate to God, communicated through form and manifestation, through the earth, through something in nature.

 

When parents see their own child being born, they often have an overwhelming feeling of love. That’s the Feminine. That’s feeling the divine in manifestation, incarnation. The love most parents have for their child, even throughout the child’s life, is the pure expression of the Feminine divine.

 

Tom: Like my wife loving me.

 

Yeshua: Yes, that’s another form. It’s why, in your world, there’s such an incredible drive for relationship and union with a partner. That’s one of the most powerful ways human beings experience the Feminine divine—as love.

 

Yet without the partnering of the Masculine divine—the pure consciousness, the freedom, the state of already being liberated— the Feminine, in and of itself, isn’t sufficient. You see, the Feminine is the essence of change. The Feminine is always changing. Your partner is always changing, your children are always changing, the weather is always changing, and Earth is always changing. The Feminine manifests as the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. This can be an entire lifecycle, such as human beings go through in their lifetimes. But the cycle also occurs in every moment. When you get an idea, you’re giving birth. When you carry it out, there’s life. When you let go of it, there’s death. When it comes in a new form, it’s rebirth. Every moment can be seen as the Feminine cycle.

 

In contrast, the Masculine never changes. Eternity does not change. Infinity does not change. Some of your Eastern religions, such as Buddhism, refer to this, calling it the pure land—pure because it’s not involved with all the changes of manifestation.

MARY MAGDALENE: Special vs. Unconditional Love

Received by Mercedes Kirkel

 

I wish to speak to an aspect of love that I think some of you may have confusion about. This is the idea of unconditional love. I would say it is true that all love is unconditional. What I mean is that love is never given in a conditional way. It is never given as a kind of a deal, where “I will love you if you give me something back.” That is not love. That is a contract. Contracts can be appropriate at certain times in certain circumstances. It is just good to understand that that is not love.

 

Love is always given freely. Truly, when you fully love, you cannot help but give love. It is your great joy to give love. This is the meaning of unconditional love.

 

But in your spiritual world there are some who have suggested a different concept of unconditional love. This is the concept that the highest, most spiritual love is impersonal or universal love. This kind of love is uniform and the same for all. It is then suggested that personal love, which you might call “special love”—loving someone as special or different—is somehow not unconditional love, not true love, not the highest, most spiritual love. I would say this is misguided.

 

There are many different kinds of love, and you will experience many different kinds of love in your lifetime if you open yourself to love. This is not only completely natural but it is intentional. You came into this realm because your soul desired and needed certain experiences for your soul growth.

 

All the different relationships in your life are what your soul has called in to support you in your growth, by giving you the experiences that will most help you. Those relationships are unique. Some of them are special. You could say they are all special in a certain way because they are all unique. They are all important to you, your life, and your soul development. Your response to each relationship will be different. The way that you manifest love in each relationship will be different and that is because your soul has called that in for your growth.

 

I would suggest that if you are called to love in a unique way in any given relationship, that you support that and open to it. Let the love be your guidance and follow it. I do not recommend following what seems to me an artificial concept that you shouldn’t be feeling a unique love for someone that’s different from your love for others.

 

I certainly know special love in my being and it is a great gift from God. I would not want to hold back from it. It does not in any way detract from my loving all in the more universal sense. Quite to the opposite, it supports and grows my capacity for universal love. Every way that you know love is a divine gift, an opening to greater union with the divine. Do not hold back. It is a blessing and a gift.

MARY MAGDALENE: Evolving into Unconditional Love

An Excerpt from Mary Magdalene Beckons
By Mercedes Kirkel

 

Greetings, beloved —

 

You are coming to understand why I speak so much about the importance of feeling and, in particular, feeling pain. I will explain more about this. Many of you have the sense that unconditional love is an important aspect of evolving into your highest self, and this is correct. However, for most of you, it is still just an idea, and you don’t understand how to achieve this.

 

This is because unconditional love is rooted in the Second Ray of the Divine, which is the ray of the Divine Feminine. Up until now, the ray that has been dominant on Earth is the First Ray of divine will, which is the ray of the Divine Masculine. This is why so much of your spiritual teachings, up until this point, have focused on things like clearing the mind of false beliefs and opening to higher consciousness, activating the will to do God’s work in the world, and manifesting a higher reality in this dimension.

 

Now, at this time in the evolution of Earth and for all of you who are incarnate here, there is an influx of new divine energies, which is creating a shift and a grand opportunity for accelerated growth and transformation. These new energies are here because you are now receiving the Second Ray of the Divine Feminine. Yet, in order to fully receive this, you must be open at the level of feeling. Your heart is the organ of reception and activation of this energy, and it is through your ability to feel that this energy is carried.

 

So feeling is essential to receiving and activating this new energy. Your job at this time is to open fully as feeling beings. You are being called to love yourself unconditionally, with no conditions or limits upon that self-love. And in the domain of feeling, this is especially about loving all of your emotions. They all have a divine purpose. Do you think you would be given the magnificent range of feelings and emotions that you all possess for no purpose? Do you think this was a kind of design error? No, dear ones, your feelings are to serve you, and they are a great help to you if you understand this and are in the correct relationship to them. Your feelings are a tremendous asset and a unique gift that you in this realm have been given. Yet, as I have said before, many have planted the idea that emotions are bad or harmful and should be denied, suppressed, disengaged from. This is actually the opposite of the truth.

 

As you learn to love your emotions, including all of the painful ones, you will be practicing the foundation of unconditional love. In this loving, you will open to your feelings; you will feel them, which is different from reacting to them. In your reaction, you either try to avoid them, make them go away, or act upon them. But feeling is none of these things. Feeling is simply being with the feelings, embracing them and merging with them, so that they can give you their gifts. Feelings are the messengers of your divine attributes that live within you. They will lead you to these beautiful qualities within that are your bridge to God. This is the way of the open heart, the Divine Feminine path of unconditional love. And it is the path you are called to walk and embrace and radiate from in your open heart. It is a glorious song of love.

 

And there is another energy that is shining upon Earth at this time, and it is the Third Ray of divine wisdom. In this ray, the First and Second Rays of divine will and divine love experience the union of their qualities as divine wisdom. This is one of the forms of the Trinity as it manifests in your realm. The First Ray carries the qualities of the Divine Father, the Second Ray carries the qualities of the Divine Mother, and the Third Ray carries the qualities of the union of the Divine Father and Mother, giving birth to the Divine Child. This Divine Child can also be seen as your I AM presence.

 

You are living in a most wondrous time, when so many aspects of the Divine are being revealed to you so abundantly and openly. In the past, very few had access to these divine rays, only those who had purified themselves to an extraordinary degree. But now it is different. The divine powers are being showered down upon you so freely, yet you must do your part to receive them. If you are in the midst of the mightiest rain but hold an umbrella over your head, you will not receive any of the water flowing around you.

 

And so you must do your part to open up and receive this divine downpour. And one of the primary arenas for most of you is at the level of feeling. This is your bridge to unconditional love, and it begins with unconditional love of yourself, all of who you are, and especially of your emotions and feelings. It begins with opening at the heart to your feelings, reversing your patterns of closing yourself off from your emotions and feelings. Open to them and let them guide you to your higher self. And as you learn to love your feelings unconditionally, you will naturally become a conduit of unconditional love. It is inevitable.

 

I wish to give an example because I know that this is a confusing arena for many of you, due to all the misinformation you have received about emotions. Let’s say that someone has said something to you that is painful for you to hear, something such as, “That’s so selfish of you. You’re always only thinking of yourself!” You might have an immediate reaction come up. For example, you might want to lash out at them with a criticism of them, which is a way of fighting back, proving that they’re wrong so their judgment of you isn’t valid. This could happen verbally or just in your thoughts. Another reaction you might have is to want to defend yourself, proving how their accusation isn’t true. Or you might want to take an action, wanting to hurt them physically or to withdraw from them in some way.

 

All of these are reactions to the pain you feel from the comment, ways of trying to make the pain go away. Instead of all of these reactions, you could simply feel the pain. You could open to it, experience it. Breathe into it, relax into it, open yourself to it. And with this, you could ask yourself, “What is the source of this pain within me?” The source will be different each time, a different quality or divine attribute that you carry within. In this example, the source may be that you’re wanting acceptance and to be understood for your actual intentions and motives. Acceptance and understanding are two of the entire range of beautiful divine attributes that live within you. As you open to the experience of your hurt, you can let that lead you to your longing for acceptance and understanding. And when you connect with those inner divine attributes, you will experience a shift. You will be crossing over the bridge to your connection with God.

 

What is so wonderful is that you can always do this, at any time or in any circumstance, because these qualities are always within you; truly they are you. You are incredibly powerful, and you always have the ability to connect with God. Nothing can ever stand in the way of this because this is who and what you are.

 

Your feelings are one of your greatest allies—they are always guiding you to this awakening to God. Now, at this time in your evolution, you are being called to embrace your feelings as your pathway to unconditional love. I support you in this most fully, as I know this path profoundly as a true and wondrous path to God.

 

I love you and bless you with all my heart in your continued unfoldment.

I AM Mary Magdalene

Dialogues with Yeshua and Mary Magdalene Becomes #1 Best Seller

 

Now a #1 best seller on Amazon!

This weekend was the book launch for my latest book—DIALOGUES WITH YESHUA AND MARY MAGDALENE: The Journey to Love. I’m delighted to say that since releasing the book it’s become a #1 best seller on Amazon. Yay!!!!!!

 

During the book launch, I shared stories about the book and read excerpts. In case you missed it, here’s the recording:

 

 

There are so many things I love about this book. I love how strongly you can feel Yeshua’s and Mary’s love, as well as their wisdom and guidance. I love how the main character, Tom, is so vulnerable and honest in revealing his challenges and longing for spiritual growth. I love how most of the book is a “man-to-man” conversation between Yeshua and Tom, focused on Yeshua teaching Tom how to love the Feminine. I love how I still get immediately drawn into the beauty and truth of what’s being shared, even though I’ve read it countless times!!!

 

I’m so happy to finally be able to share this exquisite work with all of you, as I’m confident it will speak to and touch you the way it has me.

 

“As a teacher of Christ consciousness for 40 years, I rarely have chosen to write a review of a book. Dialogues with Yeshua and Mary Magdalene is one such book. The questions addressed in this book are ones most of us would love to ask if we knew the reply would be one we could count on. Mercedes has an incredible way of approaching sensitive topics such as the errors made within the Church, sexuality, dimensionality, and the seeming complexities of love. This material speaks to the heart and soul.”

—Michael Mirdad, Unity of Sedona Spiritual Leader and author of The Book of Love and Forgiveness

 

“Full of deep insights… this book explores the nature of love in an inspirational way that many readers will find very moving.”

—Stuart Wilson, co-author of Power of the Magdalene and The Essenes

 

“An empowering self-mastery guide to the healing of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine within your own body, heart, and mind. Yeshua and Mary Magdalene beckon.”

—Claire Heartsong, author of Anna, Grandmother of Jesus

 

“Yeshua and Tom’s ‘man to man’ dialogues are, for me as a man, immensely appealing and nurturing. Hearing Yeshua tell me that I AM God struck a chord of almost indescribable resonance in my whole being: heart, soul, mind, and body. Mercedes’s channeling of these multidimensional divine personalities shines with authority and grace.”

—Saniel Bonder, founder, Waking Down® and author of Healing the Spirit/Matter Split

 

“An extension of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene’s mystery school teachings of the past, this book offers profound understanding… For those who cherish the “Anna” books (Anna, Grandmother of Jesus and Anna, the Voice of the Magdalenes), this book is the next step.”

—Catherine Ann Clemett, author of Are You a Magdalene?

 

“As a retired Presbyterian minister, I have wrestled with some of the questions Tom raises and found much wisdom in these conversations… May Yeshua’s wise advice resonate for us all.”

—Rev. Trey Hammond, co-author of Exposure and Risk: The Great Coming Church

 

“Expanded insights and higher perspectives, inviting the reader into their heart. I highly recommend this book.”

—Linda Mary Robinson, author of Being True to Yourself

YESHUA: Was Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper?

An Excerpt from: Dialogues with Yeshua and Mary Magdalene

By Mercedes Kirkel

 

Tom: Was Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper?

 

Yeshua: Of course! [laughs] Why would I not have my beloved at my side? Mary was more than simply a follower. Mary is my divine partner. Mary came to bring the Feminine, just as I came to bring the Masculine. The Church has cut out this part of what we did and what our work was because they were afraid. But it is coming forth now. We knew this would happen. We understood. And we’re glad it’s finally time for everyone to have access to the whole of what we brought forth: the Masculine and the Feminine. Both of us were revealing, teaching, and supporting—together. So of course, she was there.

 

Tom: I learned a lot of this from my wife. She is so good.

 

Yeshua: You are very wise. So many men need this understanding and valuing of the Feminine. Women have moved ahead because it’s more natural for them to receive the Feminine. They’re receiving this understanding of the Feminine first, by and large, and men are receiving it through the women. This is the first stage. You are very blessed to have your wife and to receive her in the way you do.

 

Tom: Yesterday, at the equinox, I was praying for the whole of creation to rise, something we’re calling ascension. Then this morning as I was praying, it felt like a sexual union inside of me. Could that be God touching me?

 

Yeshua: Absolutely! This is another aspect of the Feminine that the Church doesn’t want people to connect with and understand. As you move into the fourth dimension, you’ll see that dimension is very sexual in the true form of sexual union because the Masculine and Feminine are always in union with each other. One aspect of the separation that beings in the third dimension experience is the separation of the Masculine and the Feminine. This relationship is being healed and shifted back into its higher form by reuniting the Masculine and the Feminine.

 

Tom: I can go back to that feeling of sexual union inside me when I’m trying to search for God.

 

Yeshua: Yes. It’s a gift and a blessing. Is there more that’s in your heart right now?

 

Tom: There’s more joy.

 

Yeshua: [laughs] That is your sign. Let joy be your guide.

Cancer As a Spiritual Journey: Listening to Guidance

By Mercedes Kirkel

When I was first diagnosed with cancer, my guidance was very clear: “Get chemotherapy asap!” My guidance is always clear, but this was stronger than usual. It was almost as if my guides were yelling at me.

 

I think they needed to turn up the volume. When you’re diagnosed with cancer, all of a sudden you’re faced with so many options – and so many people with their own ideas of what you should do. It can definitely be overwhelming, as though having cancer wasn’t already enough.

 

The other reason my guides needed to “shout” was because I’ve always had a strong preference for going the natural route. It definitely wasn’t my nature to jump on the medical/pharmaceutical bandwagon. But that’s exactly what my guides were telling me to do. So, like always, I followed the guidance.

 

Fortunately, my oncologist is a wonderful person who’s very open to me listening to my guides. (Thank you, Spirit, for guiding me to her!) So we’ve been a good team.

 

I’ve seen throughout my cancer journey that listening to guidance has been so important. Fortunately, I’m blessed to hear my guidance very clearly, which has been a tremendous advantage. For those who aren’t so fortunate and struggle to hear their guidance, cancer is a great opportunity to change that.

 

So how can we listen to our guidance? If you’re like me, it comes in very clearly, like a voice in my head that’s different from my own. If you’re not experiencing that, it may be that you’re blocking it.

 

Some people are afraid of hearing “a voice,” equating it with being possessed. If that’s the case, you can dialog with the voice. Ask it who it is. This is a law of Spirit: All entities are required to reveal who they are, if asked directly. You can also ask what its intention is. If it’s an outside spirit and it doesn’t want to answer these questions, it will just go away.

 

I believe that most of the time when we get a “communication,” we’re hearing from either our higher self or one of our angels. And they’re trying to help us.

 

Be aware that you may not receive guidance through a verbal message. It may come as an image. Or a physical feeling. Or an emotion. Or an experience. You may be discounting these things as not meaning anything, or a mere synchronicity. Part of the process may be to start to listen to your body and experiences.

 

If you’re not sure if you can trust a message you’re receiving, test it out. Does it feel benign and supportive? Do you feel better or worse when you open to the message? Does it align with your previous experiences? All of these discernments can help you know whether the message is right for you.

 

In the book Radical Remission, Dr. Kelly Turner describes the experiences of people who’ve experienced “spontaneous remission” from cancer. This is a documented medical phenomena, where cancer patients go into remission without a clear explanation from the medical point of view. Based on her research of thousands of cases, she’s identified nine factors that people who’ve experienced spontaneous remission share.

 

Most of the factors were things I expected such as diet, exercise, emotional healing, etc. But one surprised me. She lists “following your intuition” as one of the nine factors that people consistently did, which made a difference.

 

I agree with that. And I think it’s a greatly under-recognized factor in healing, from cancer or anything else. In my cancer journey, even I have been stretched and grown in this arena. And I’m grateful for that. I feel stronger because of it, especially in my relationship to Spirit.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Joy of Forgiveness

Image courtesy of Erin Silversmith

By Mercedes Kirkel

Mercedes: Recently I responded to a Facebook post from a woman who’s been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She was expressing how afraid she was of her cancer diagnosis and of dying.
 
Here’s what I wrote:
 
“I believe cancer is an opportunity for all of us to come to peace with dying. This isn’t the same as giving up. It’s coming to peace, whether we live or die. I was taught that one of the most important things to do to come to peace is to forgive and be forgiven. Forgive all those you need to forgive — those with whom you’re holding any resentment or blame. And ask for forgiveness from all those you feel any regret in relation to, for things you’ve done. Do this in your heart or in person (if it’s appropriate).
 
“Of course we don’t need to wait till we have cancer or are dying to do this. The sooner the better. But it makes a huge difference in terms of coming to peace with whatever happens. Then I believe it’s between you and Spirit/God whether you live or die. I hope this is helpful and wish you fullest blessings for an easeful path, whatever that is for you.”
 
After seeing my post, someone else sent me this message:
 
“I want to forgive more fully. How do we actually forgive? Anything you’re willing to share about that?”
 
In response, I offer Mary Magdalene’s instruction from Mary Magdalene Beckons:

MARY MAGDALENE:
The Joy of Forgiveness

An Excerpt from Mary Magdalene Beckons

Hello, dear one ~

 

Many people today are speaking about forgiveness. And it is true: forgiveness is such an important process, especially at the stage where many of you find yourselves. Forgiveness will release you from the prison of thinking that someone else did something wrong to you or that you yourself did something wrong.

 

You see, your hurt is real. In this reality, this dimension, people really do get hurt. What you must understand is that this is different from thinking that someone has done something wrong. Wrong and right are simply fabrications of your mind, ideas that have been created to try to get people to do certain things that some people want them to do. Can you imagine living without the thoughts that some things are right or wrong? It is entirely possible and would benefit you tremendously.

 

If you didn’t have the idea that something was wrong, you would simply be left with your hurt. This would support you in turning your attention to yourself and your own process rather than wasting your attention and energy on your thoughts about others. Then you could simply be with your hurt, giving yourself over to the process of feeling.

 

When you fully feel, no longer resisting with your mind or your busyness, but simply surrendering fully to feeling, you receive a gift. It may be a message, an understanding that realigns you to truth and opens your heart. Or you may simply be led to the beautiful quality, the divine attribute that is the source of your pain. And in reconnecting with that divine attribute, you will be led through the pain, all the way through, to the light at the end of the tunnel. Going through pain is like a kind of death, and in surrendering to it, you find the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

 

At this point, you can forgive because now your heart is open and you are at peace, once again reconnected to God. From this place, you can open your heart to the other. You can connect with their divinity, the beauty that was motivating them to do what they did, even if it may have caused you pain. You can open to them again in love. This is true forgiveness.

 

This will be followed by action, and you will know what action is appropriate for that particular circumstance. There is not one formulaic response that is necessary or best for engaging forgiveness. You will know in each circumstance what you’re called to do. And it won’t be difficult, like pulling teeth or climbing Mount Olympus. It will be easeful and joyful because the forgiveness has already occurred. This is simply the natural outcome, the action flowing out of that new alignment, that shift at the heart.

 

Sometimes you may communicate with the person. Sometimes you may not. Sometimes you may ask for their forgiveness. Sometimes you may choose to have less to do with that person. Sometimes you may see how this circumstance served you, even if it created pain. Sometimes you may see how you created this circumstance. If it is true forgiveness, you will feel the unity of your heart and soul with this person.

 

Forgiveness is a hugely liberating practice. It can be engaged daily. Do not confuse it, however, with denying pain or denying that you experienced hurt. Do not confuse the practice of forgiveness with the idea of forgiveness or other related ideas such as, “I created this myself,” or “There’s only oneness, so not to forgive is only hurting me,” or “This is just an illusion,” or “I should forgive this.” While ultimately those statements are true, holding them as ideas will not help you and will actually hurt you if you’re using the ideas to avoid feeling the pain.

 

The process of forgiveness must be engaged through feeling. That is the corridor that will lead you to your open heart—your light-filled room of wonder, love, and peace—and your heart’s joy. Take that path, dear one, and reunite with your true Beloved. In that vastness of joy, you will have more than enough excess to love the one who has hurt you, to embrace and hold that one in this heart- full unity.

 

I love you and call you to join me in this space of divine union.

 

I AM Mary Magdalene

My Halloween Gift

By Mercedes Kirkel

 

I always love Halloween — maybe because it’s a week after my birthday. But I think it’s more than just that. I love the magic of the colors, the smells, the changing weather. And I truly believe the veil between the worlds is especially thin at this time of year. As the pagans sagely say: “Magic is afoot!”

 

This Halloween appears to be particularly notable. It falls on a blue moon/full moon, which in itself is fairly unique. Add to that a worldwide pandemic in full tilt and a highly contentious U.S. election, and the result for many is a sense of potential doom, with all the attendant feelings that tends to bring.

 

For me personally, this is also a significant moment. Since getting diagnosed with cancer six months ago and then going through chemotherapy, I feel like I’ve traversed my own dark night of the soul. I’m grateful to report I’m coming out the other side and feel newly emerged, even reborn. Hallelujah!

 

My dark night had everything to do with facing death. My death. Much sooner than I ever expected. Cancer seems to do that and I was no exception. For all my spiritual work and all the ways I thought I was fully integrated with death as part of life, I found my very human self was still in fear. It took me a long time to realize it.

 

At first I was in shock — the classic first stage of grief that Elizabeth Kubler Ross and others describe. And that lasted for months.

 

Then there was bargaining. In my case that took the form of researching everything I could get my hands on about possible cures and therapies. Not that I’m opposed to therapies or research. I just see now that there was an emotional component to what I was doing that was the classic second stage of the grief process, even though I didn’t recognize it at the time.

 

Thankfully I was spared the next stage of the cycle of grief: anger. I do think this is because of the spiritual work I’ve done. Instead I went to what was below any possible anger, which was sorrow and fear. Sorrow about potential loss of the joys of this realm. Sorrow about joys not yet realized.

 

Fear was the most difficult to face. Even to acknowledge. But eventually it was inevitable. And it happened in a most unexpected way. I gradually became aware that death had taken on a living presence in my life. It wasn’t just a concept anymore. It had become a viable presence — a subtle entity that seemed to sit next to me on my left side. And it was dark. Not malevolent. Quite neutral actually. But dark nonetheless.

 

This in itself was a surprise. I’ve always associated death with going into the light: seeing the light, the light at the end of the tunnel, being guided by angels of light. And I strongly believe that we go to a place of greater light after our death-transition. So the darkness of this entity was a revelation.

 

And that brings me to Halloween. I’d always thought of ghouls, ghosts, and the grim reaper as images from the collective unconscious, representations of fear finding a culturally acceptable avenue of expression. But now it occurred to me that there was more to it. I’m well aware that most “folk legends” have some origin in fact. And I started to “grok” that many of the dark Halloween archetypes were no different. I was experiencing their reality.

 

Did this take me into a hell realm, a place of unmitigated blackness and terror? Quite the opposite. It allowed me to open to the presence I was experiencing, to face it and begin to talk about it with others. And that led to one of the most ecstatic, vivid, and life-changing dreams I’ve ever experienced.

 

Because hearing others’ dreams can be quite tedious, I’ll spare you the details and go straight to the golden nuggets I received from this amazing experience: 1) I’m even more in-my-power now than ever, 2) I’m still attractive and sexy, 3) there’s a great party I’m invited to on the other side, and 4) life is really a hilarious joke.

 

And what about the specter of death I’d been living with? After the dream, it seemed to become integrated with me as a natural part of the total fabric of this world. I still can sense it, but just barely. And my fear is gone, replaced with great peace.

 

About a week later, I received a message from Death, in a channeling that happened quite spontaneously. It was the first channeling I’ve done since my cancer diagnosis, and I received it as a wonderful and uplifting gift. I’m delighted to share it with you now.

 

A Message From Death

2020 is a huge time of integrating death for your culture, especially in the US., but in western culture altogether. Because your culture is so rejecting of death. Your culture is so much about acquisition, grasping and holding on. Not about release and letting go. And most people don’t understand about rebirth, that it’s a cycle of  birth-life-death-rebirth, on and on. In your world there’s huge fear of death and out of that avoidance of death. People are terrified of me.

 

This year people are having to get in touch with death. Not just physical mortality. Death of their old life, their old meaning, their expectations of what life should be, what they’re entitled to. This has a lot to do with entitlement. Entitlement is a very limiting belief. Your society feels entitled to the “good life.” And you’re confronting that now in all the restrictions being asked and recommended because of Covid. It’s challenging people’s entitlement.

 

This is a great spiritual opportunity, as most challenge is. Whatever you’re struggling with in the midst of the restriction and loss you’re experiencing, that’s where you believe you’re entitled, what you’re attached to. And that attachment is binding and limiting you. It’s keeping you from your freedom.

 

I’m here to support you in letting go. Of course you have a choice. You can do it now or you can do it later. And of course you’ll all be required to let go at some point.

 

So why do it now? Why not just wait until you have to? Because doing it now will bring you freedom. And that freedom will bring you ecstasy. Just as you, Mercedes, experienced in facing the part of you that’s afraid of dying. When you faced it and embraced it, when you asked it to guide you to its source, then you were gifted with ecstasy. So it will be for all.

 

I send you my blessings and love, even though it’s not in the form that most people are attached to. Love is always from the wholeness, the All, which includes darkness and light. At least in this realm.

 

Blessings and thank you for being one of the strong and brave, who open to the darkness. Thank you for helping others in this way.
