INSIGHT #2: IT’S OK TO EXPERIENCE DOUBT
Many people experience doubt as part of the ascension process. It can even be seen as one of the signs that it’s happening. We’re detaching from being mind-based in the familiar 3D way and morphing into something new and unfamiliar. Doubt seems to be one of the frequent byproducts.
I strongly believe it’s 100% OK to feel doubt about the ascension process and your experiences in relation to it. It doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It doesn’t mean you’re un-spiritual. And it doesn’t mean your experiences aren’t real.
Doubt is simply a feeling that may accompany our experiences. Like all feelings, it’s pointing to something in ourselves we need to attend to. It’s showing us a part of our own divinity we’ve disconnected from and need to reconnect with. Mary Magdalene’s recommendation relative to doubt, or any other feeling, is to make use of it to guide you back to your own wholeness in God.
What aspect of our inner divinity is doubt pointing to in these circumstances? I think it’s pointing to our need to balance our beliefs and experiences about the ascension process with the honesty that we don’t yet have the bigger picture of what’s fully happening and where it’s leading. It’s like a picture that’s still coming in and we don’t yet have the whole vision and understanding. I feel acceptance in this, a letting go in God, and a deeper trust of the process. Through that, I come to peace and my doubt dissolves.
I find Mary’s process extremely helpful for dealing with doubt. Instead of discounting either my experiences or my doubt, I make use of the doubt to open me to a deeper level of connection with God. Then I’ve really gotten the gold.
I teach Mary Magdalene’s process of relating to feelings in this different way in THE MAGDALENE HEART PATH Online Course. I think it’s an essential part of the ascension process that most people haven’t yet realized. People who’ve taken the course have found the process deeply valuable, even life-changing.

Yes, that’s something beautiful, be at peace with doubt.. sort of. I fully agree with you, Mercedes, that we’re leaving our familiar 3D experiences and paradigm, growing familiar with a new experience of who we are and what life is about, or might be about, in a sort of fluidity.
At this moment, it seems that this year is significant for this aspect in my life, I can recognize the urge to be in control, like when I can’t find something (I recently moved to a new home). Or when I try to hold in my memory when the bus goes, where that one shop is that I saw the other day, etc. etc. all these little manoeuvers joining the process of moving to a new location and grow familiar with it. It’s great to be still in that moment when the feeling of distress rises, the sense of hanging in mid-air and ungroundedness. I can give it a smile.
With the help of my observer, I can easily let it go and move to an acceptation of my not-knowing. In other words, allowing doubt about my ability to memorize and the unsettling it causes. I learn to allow for a new moment to bring the solution forward and not freeze in agony, having a tantrum like a toddler in a supermarket, screaming for an icecream “Mommie, I want it NOW!!”
By the way, there once was a very wise Mommie, witnessing her toddler on the floor in such a tantrum. She joined the child, on the floor and began screaming for the same treat. The child looked at its Mommy, wide eyed. It fell silent and sat upright after a while, fully calmed down. Many people smiled, witnessing that scene. Isn’t it fun?
LOL!!! I used to throw a tantrum with my kids too when they were small. The look on their little faces was priceless.
Thank you for reminding us to use low level feelings and thoughts as a spring board to reach for something better. I think the first place we go when these feelings bubble up is to a pity party to assign blame. Thank goodness for metacognition; the bodies way of helping us become more loving to ourselves.
I give thanks to this community:)
