MARY MAGDALENE: Transitioning Into Inclusion

Question: I know you talked about inclusion in your book, Mary Magdalene Beckons, but I would like to know more about it. How can we be more inclusive, as individuals and as a society?

 

Mary Magdalene: Hello to you and thank you for your question. I will do my best to respond.

 

The concept of “inclusion” is somewhat unfamiliar to your culture, in general, at this time. This is because it is something that you, as a collective, are growing into. So it may be easiest to understand it if you consider what preceded it, which you are now growing out of it.

 

As I have said before, the third dimension is rooted in certain ideas or mindsets. One of the strongest ones is the idea or primal assumption that there isn’t enough for everyone. Some have referred to this as a sense of lack or “not enoughness.” At its core, it’s very connected to your innate drive for survival. It creates a sense that survival is something you have to fight for, or at least stay constantly vigilant about. If you don’t, you may “lose out.” The limited resources may go to someone else and you will not be sustained. You’ll be snuffed out.

 

You might call this survival of the fittest. That is not just an idea that relates to evolution. It is a subconscious presumption that runs human beings at the third dimension. You feel you must always be “on top of your game,” so to speak, or someone else is going to beat you and you will be cast by the wayside. This core belief operates in all arenas—relative to work, relationships, everything.

 

You can see that the belief is very closely related to competition. If there isn’t enough to go around, then it’s necessary to compete with others to insure that you get what you need, regardless of the ramifications for others. This puts people in the third dimension into a very difficult situation. If you help others, it may be at your own expense. If you take care of yourself, it may be at the expense of your caring for others. This is what you might call a lose-lose proposition. Either way you are forfeiting something essential – your own wellbeing or your closeness and connection with others.

 

This situation has created great pain, struggle, and conflict in your Earth realm. In the consciousness that is associated with the third dimension, it appears there is no solution. This is just “the way it is.” There’s an expression that many of you are familiar with: Life’s a bitch and then you die. This accurately describes the dilemma of this situation and the ultimate dissatisfaction it promotes.

 

Many of the problems you experience at the collective level of your society can be traced back to this core presumption. It relates to hoarding and unequal distribution of wealth, as well as the collective disposition of not caring about most of the other people in your world. There’s a sense of “How can I care?” You believe that if you were to open yourself to caring, you would be quickly drained and emptied, and thus lose on the survival side of things.

 

It has not always been like this on your Earth. In earlier times, many people lived more communally and there was a sense of sharing and taking care of each other that occurred. As civilization has developed, this caring for each other has, in general, decreased to the point that now it is mostly relegated to the nuclear family level. Within nuclear families, there is still a sense of everyone being cared for. Yet many people today are not part of a nuclear family and find themselves in a position of feeling very isolated at the most fundamental level. In these cases, individuals feel it’s entirely up to themselves to take care of themselves and insure their survival. If they don’t, no one else will be there for them.

 

Some of your countries are taking steps to change this at a national level, by instituting government programs that insure people the necessities of life in terms of food, and possibly shelter and health care. Other countries, such as the United States, are lagging behind in this regard, which represents a great fear on the part of many people to take this step, ultimately going back to the primal fear that taking care of others will thwart your own survival.

 

These types of government programs are a beginning step toward moving into a state of inclusion. But they are still tending to work from the outside, and rather peripherally, rather from the fundamental consciousness. When I talk about inclusion, I’m really talking about a radical shift in consciousness. which rests upon the presumption that there truly is enough for everyone.  If this is so, then you are no longer in conflict with others at the most fundamental level. You can afford to care for others, to support and help them, and to cooperate with them, because doing so won’t threaten your survival. This is not just a good idea. It’s actually a whole different level of consciousness. Some people in your world already come from this consciousness, but they tend to be relatively rare. But you are growing into a time when this will become the norm.

 

The cosmic humor of this situation is that your consciousness creates your reality. If you think there isn’t enough, there really won’t be enough. If you think there is enough, there will be. This, too, is not just a hopeful idea. It’s a reality.

 

Yet there is one more essential aspect to this consideration. In order to get to this higher consciousness of assuming abundance for all, you also most go beyond the concept so many of you have that life is limited to the time between your birth and your death. This is part of the fundamental limitation of your thinking in the third dimension. In fact, your life goes far beyond both of those points. But most of you cannot remember your previous lives, before your birth. Nor do you have the ability, for the most part, to connect with those who have died and have continued on in their life process in another dimension. So you assume that your present lifetime is all there is. There are certain benefits to this presumption, in terms of pursuing your life purpose and making use of your life for your growth. But those benefits have largely served their purpose and, at this time, you are beginning to be better served by the understanding of your actual situation, which is that your lifetime on Earth is just an exceedingly small part of your total journey as a soul. The more you come to understand this, the more you will be able to trust the process of birth, life, death, and beyond – usually involving future births of repeating this cycle for many lifetimes.

 

If you have this understanding, and it is not a mere belief or wish, but rather a sureness within yourself, you will stop seeing death as the ultimate “loss.” You will simply see it as the ending of this chapter in your journey. It may be a graduation, and hopefully will be, if you have grown and developed during your life. Whether it is or not, you will continue on after this lifetime into new adventures, growth, and progression in your continued life purpose.

 

This understanding is the other key piece that will allow you to shift into the consciousness of inclusion. In fact, caring for others, as well as yourself, is one of the best ways you can grow as a soul. Neither one—caring for yourself or caring for others —is to be done at the expense of the other. At a certain point of maturity, you come to realize that you can never be fulfilled or satisfied if it is at the expense of another. This is a sign that you are moving into the greater consciousness of your inherent connection with others at the heart, ultimately your non-separation or oneness with others. In its ultimate form, the realization of non-separation or oneness is a profound realization. But caring for others as much as for yourself is one of the beginning forms of that realization.

 

Mothers often feel this state of inclusion relative to their children. And fathers do, as well, though perhaps not quite as characteristically as mothers. Individuals in love often feel this state with and for their beloved. It is one of the gifts of love. And there are other circumstances when people may feel this. Ultimately it has no limits. The more you grow, the more you will experience it without limits, so that eventually it will become the basis of how you relate to all other beings.

 

I hope this has helped you to understand this concept. Ultimately words and ideas can only go so far. You will truly start to understand it when you experience the joy of living on this basis. And happily, it is where you are all headed.

 

With my fullest love and support and compassion,

I AM Mary Magdalene
