What I Received in France
By Mercedes Kirkel
I’ve just returned from my travels in the Languedoc and Provence regions of southern France, visiting many sites that are associated with Mary Magdalene. Though I’m still integrating all that happened, I feel strongly moved to share about my experiences because so many of you have communicated your support, blessings, and connection with me throughout my journey. I’m very grateful for feeling you “with me” on my pilgrimage and now I want to pass on the fruits of what I received.
As soon as we (myself and my three traveling companions) arrived in the Languedoc, I was struck by the beauty of the countryside, with its peaceful rivers, low mountains at the beginning of the Pyrenees, and tiny medieval villages sprinkled throughout. We stopped at an old church with stained glass windows that depicted Mary Magdalene and I felt I was stepping into another world that resonated deeply with my soul.
I received a message the next day from Mary Magdalene. We were searching for a spring that was the source of one of the rivers, because we’d been told that many people felt a connection to Isis there. We weren’t having success finding the path and decided to stop and all check in with our guidance. My message was: “It’s foolish to limit Spirit to any particular site.” What that meant to me was that we didn’t have to “work” to find Spirit. If we were meant to receive something from Spirit, we would be guided to it. And indeed, that happened many times.
The message also had a deeper meaning for me. I had started to wonder why it was necessary for me to come to France, when I already felt so connected to Mary wherever I was. I heard her saying in this brief message that it wasn’t necessary in terms of me connecting with her. I found that somewhat disconcerting, wondering if I had made the trip unnecessarily. In fact, I was so perplexed by this question that I asked Mary about it directly midway through the trip. In her highly skillful way, Mary helped me to see that I already understood a lot of the reasons I was drawn to France and the gifts I was receiving through being there. These included a great healing I was experiencing in my physical body and an opening to greater expression of my Femininity. (You can read Mary’s full response in the previous blog post, “Why I Was Drawn to France.”) And there was to be more.
I felt a peacefulness and beauty in the region that fed me on such a deep level. I was able to eat foods I normally react to in the U.S.—bread, cheese, yogurt, wine, decaf coffee—and I enjoyed them thoroughly. I loved all the stone and stucco buildings and the more natural, Earth-connected lifestyle. Yet there was another side that was very disturbing to me, which was the violence of so much of the history. I was connecting with souls that seemed to be “stuck” from violent deaths, along with feeling the disturbance of the Earth in certain places. Others I was traveling with experienced similar things in their own ways. We all brought our own form of blessing and healing to the land and beings we encountered.
In general, I didn’t find the churches had much spiritual potency for me, including the ones that had a reputation of being connected with Mary Magdalene. I mostly felt sad about the history of Christianity in terms of what had been changed, hidden, and lost in Yeshua’s and Mary Magdalene’s teaching, as well as the harm that had been done to so many in the name of religion. However, there were several exceptions. In the church at Rennes le Chateau, I felt Mary Magdalene’s presence very strongly the first time I was there, though I didn’t feel it the second time. I believe this had more to do with the Temple of Isis that the church was built upon, which I believe Mary and Yeshua visited.
In the church at Sainte Baume, which claims to be the cave where Mary spent the last thirty years of her life, I didn’t feel her presence at all, except for a statue behind the altar that depicted a very full, sensual Mary Magdalene in a reclining position. This area was dedicated to penitence, which seemed ironic to me because the depiction of Mary in the statue didn’t seem the least bit penitent. Here I picked up a small feeling of Mary that felt humorous, as though she were saying, “OK—whatever! If this is the way people choose to relate to me, it doesn’t really matter. I’m still willing to be in relationship with them.”
The other church in which I felt a connection to Mary Magdalene was the church at Sainte Maries de la Mer. This church claims to be the place where a boat carrying Mary Jacobe and Mary Salome, along with other followers of Yeshua, landed in France after the crucifixion. There’s a famous statue of a dark-skinned Saint Sara in the church, with varying stories of who she was. Again, the church felt empty of spiritual energy to me until one of my traveling companions pointed out a picture that’s fairly hard to see, being very high up in a floor-to-ceiling display case of many pictures and partially hidden by the wood framing in the glass doors of the case. It’s a painting of a dark-skinned woman who my friend said looked very much like a vision of Mary Magdalene he was given in a cave in the region several years before. I felt Mary’s energy very strongly in the painting, and then saw two other paintings on the opposite wall that also seemed to depict Mary, even though none of the paintings were described in the church materials. In fact, there’s no reference to Mary Magdalene at all in the church. But after seeing those three pictures, I felt her presence in a subtle, hidden form. It also suggested to me that Saint Sara is indeed Mary Magdalene’s and Yeshua’s daughter, but the church doesn’t want to communicate that openly. I saw great sadness in the statue of Saint Sara, which I associated with sadness about all that’s not being revealed openly through that particular church and Christianity in general.
Yet there were other, natural sites that were extremely potent for me. I felt Isis very strongly at the stone Seat of Isis and received a powerful message from her there. The Fountain of Lovers carried a transmission of love that reminded me of Mary and Yeshua’s love-energy. I became completely ecstatic at a water site where some believe Mary performed baptisms. And I experienced profound energy at a small, undeveloped cave associated with Mary Magdalene.
On the last day of the trip, I realized I’d been given something else I totally hadn’t anticipated, which had to do with my traveling companions. I saw that the way we had interacted consistently throughout the trip had been a model of spiritual companionship, cooperation, and support. That’s not to say that everything went smoothly and easily 100% of the time—we definitely had our moments. Yet even in those times, we embraced what was arising and let it open us to a place of greater heart-connection with ourselves and each other. By the end of the trip I felt like I’d been given a taste of what it’s like to live the principles of Mary’s teaching with others, and I didn’t want to stop. My guidance on that last day was to create a structure for continuing this with others on an ongoing basis. I’m not exactly sure the form that will take, but I’ll keep you posted.
I definitely fell in love with this unique part of France and look forward to returning, hopefully with others who want to share in the treasures of this region.

Why I Was Drawn to France
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On June 16, 2015
[Note from Mercedes: This is a personal message that Mary gave to me while I was traveling in the south of France. I’m sharing it because so many people have communicated that they find Mary’s personal messages to me also speak to them and are quite valuable.]
Mercedes: Mary, why was I drawn here to France? What did I need to come here for?
Mary: This is a very good question. Ultimately it is not necessary to go anywhere for spiritual purposes. Spirit is not limited to any particular location.
Yet there is no question that you are affected by various environments. Different places on the Earth have very different feelings and energy. You are aware of this. So it is the energy of the Earth in France that you are drawn to, not to find me in France.
What do you feel here?
Mercedes: I feel happy. At the site at the river where it is said you did baptisms, I felt ecstatic, overjoyed.
I love the land. It feels like home. The weather feels good to me. The people seem beautiful and authentic. The women are more Feminine here and also strong. Everything seems natural and “right” here. My heart is peaceful.
Mary: This is a sign of soul connection to the land, as well as being fed spiritually by the land in this location.
Mercedes: I also feel a natural balance of Feminine and Masculine. I like the way it feels less materialistic than what I’m used to, more Earth-based, less consumer- and possession-oriented.
Mary: Yes.
So why do you think you were drawn here? What has happened for you since you’ve been here?
Mercedes: My body is straightening out. I’ve found the source of the twists in my body that’s manifesting as my scoliosis. It feels like it’s sourcing out of the base of my pelvis on the left. It’s like my Feminine hasn’t been willing to fully descend into manifesting on Earth, especially bodily and sexually. So my Masculine is dropped in my pelvis and my whole right side of my body. The Masculine is collapsing because the Feminine isn’t forming the foundation, isn’t willing to fully be here.
My Masculine is collapsing at the pelvis (sexuality), in my shoulder (responsibility), and dropping forward at the shoulder (moving into the world in a collapsed way). My Feminine is lifted at the shoulder (moving forward in the world with tentativeness and tension, not fully willing or available, not easeful but rather apprehensive and cautious). My Masculine is coming forward in the pelvis (sexuality), but my weight is all on the Feminine, not shared with the Masculine.
I’m learning about myself through my body and I’m willing to change who I am and what I manifest. It has all showed up here in France. It’s like I’m able to see myself clearly and simply here.
I bought a Feminine dress at the market that everyone thinks is quite beautiful and that feels connected to Isis. It feels easier for me to be Feminine here.
I feel much more accepted here as a channel of you, Mary.
I think it’s easier to be myself here and I fit in better. I can see me offering my work here and I have more clarity about what my work is.
I feel like I’ve come home. I know these places, especially at Rennes les Bain and the church at Rennes le Chateau. I feel you there. It’s not in all the mystery and church artifacts. It’s in you, your presence, or maybe the temple of Isis that used to be there.
My heart is here and connected to the Earth here.
Mary: It sounds like you are very clear.
Mercedes: Yes, I think I am.
Mary: Your work is to anchor the Feminine within yourself. If that is supported here, then that is important. For you, the history of these places is a distraction. The direct work in your body and energy field is what is guiding you and all that you need.
For many people, connection to the past can help them to bring in more of who they are, more of the wholeness of their soul. History can be helpful for those reasons. It is like going into the Akashic Records, to understand who one is and what one’s soul path and work is.
That aspect of connecting to history can be valuable. Not everyone needs it, but for some it is supportive. However, often people get distracted by history, by focusing on the ideas and “facts” of what happened, when, by whom, and so on. That can clutter the mind and obstruct the work of the soul. In general, it is not necessary. But many people use history in that way, as an avoidance of the heart and the path of the heart by staying in the mind.
Allow the gifts of this place to unfold. Don’t fall into doubt. You are on course.

MARY MAGDALENE: Healing Shame Around Addictions and Sexuality

![Shame by Francisco Goya [Public domain]](http://mercedeskirkel.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Shame-by-Francisco-Goya-Public-domain.jpg)
[Note from Mercedes: This is an excerpt from a channeled reading with a client, who graciously agreed to share this portion because of the universal nature and profundity of Mary’s responses.]
Question: My question has to do with releasing shame. All my life I’ve felt like I’m not good enough, or I’m bad, or something’s wrong with me. I’m currently going through therapy for a substance-abuse problem and healing that. I think a big part of that healing is releasing my shame. Any guidance you can give me on that would be helpful.
Mary Magdalene: This is very wonderful that you have identified the connection between shame and using substances. You’re getting to a very deep level and that is where the healing can occur. I acknowledge you for your awareness of the connection between these and your openness to healing the shame that you carry.
Are there particular arenas in your life that you feel or experience shame?
Questioner: A big one is that I even have this substance-abuse problem. I feel so shameful about it, like I’m wrong and bad. It’s a substance abuse to prescription medications that got out of hand and now I’m working on it. I feel so much shame that I’ve spent the last ten years of my life with this substance-abuse problem.
Mary Magdalene: What were these medications originally prescribed for?
Questioner: It was for attention deficit disorder. I’m really sensitive and it helped me to kind of shut off my feelings so I could focus and do work. Sometimes I think I’m not cut out for this world: I’m too sensitive, too emotional. I can’t be like that if I need to work and do the practical things of life. So that’s what it was prescribed for. But I’m at a point now where I don’t want to take the medication any more. I want to love and respect my body.
Mary Magdalene: So is it simply that you’re wanting to get off the medication that’s been prescribed? Or have you taken the medication in ways that it wasn’t prescribed.
Questioner: Both. I’ve taken it in ways that weren’t prescribed and I’m working with a therapist to get off of it. It’s only in the past two months that I’ve been able to acknowledge this and been honest about it. So I’d like any guidance about getting off of it, but also help with this shame I feel around it.
There’s another shame, too, that started when I was really young. This was the first shame, which I’m just starting to realize. When I was really young, like still in diapers, I masturbated. Growing up in a Catholic household, I knew that it was so shameful. And I still feel so much shame around that now. I was so young; I don’t know why I did it.
Mary Magdalene: Thank you for speaking this. When one has shame, even speaking it is difficult because there is so much fear about being ostracized, being abandoned if you show people the part of yourself that you feel shame for. So speaking about it is the beginning of healing. It shows that, first, you’ve become aware and honest with yourself that this is what’s going on, that you have these areas that you have shame about. Then you begin to find people who you can trust, who it’s safe to share this with and open up this part of yourself to them. That, in and of itself, is a great step of healing.
You need to have discernment in speaking to others about this. It is important to only open yourself up with people who you discern that are safe. There are people who it may not be safe to open up to, people who may not understand or hold these events in the same way you do. It is not necessary or even wise for you to open up to those people. You can be in choice about who the people are who are safe for you to open up to, the people who will be supportive for you to open up to, who actually will help you in the ways that you are wanting help. So be very aware of your choice and start to empower yourself to be in choice rather than being at the effect of random responses from random individuals.
How does that part feel to you?
Questioner: That feels good. That gives me a lot of security and guidance.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. This is the beginning of reclaiming your own personal power. When there’s shame, you have given away a part of your power to someone or some entity that you probably trusted. Now, at the stage of life you’re currently in, you may realize that they weren’t entirely trustable or they weren’t entirely for your highest good. They gave you messages that what you were doing was bad, wrong, sinful, evil, or that somehow you, yourself, were bad, wrong, sinful, evil, or deficient, not right, not good enough because you were engaging certain behaviors.
This is a very sad state of affairs. It is a very third-dimensional issue because in the third-dimensional consciousness there is a very strong belief in these dualities of good-bad, right-wrong, evil-godly, those kinds of things. At the higher dimensions, we see things very differently. We see those kinds of dualities as quite destructive, quite harmful to people’s spiritual growth and their spiritual path.
Part of the spiritual process at the third dimension is realizing that many people have been programmed with this kind of thinking that certain things are good and certain things are bad; certain things are godly and certain things are ungodly; that kind of thing. Those beliefs are not a given. It is a choice to hold such beliefs.
I would like to suggest a very different possibility, which from my point of view is part of the transcendence of the third dimension and moving into a higher-dimensional consciousness. That possibility is to see that there is no such thing as good-bad. There is no such thing as right-wrong. All there are is experiences that are either supporting you or not supporting you in your divine growth and unfoldment.
When you were very young and you were touching yourself or experiencing your sexual energy through forms of touch and self-pleasuring in whatever way you did, this certainly was not bad or wrong in any way at all, from my point of view. I see it as a completely natural thing to do because you were becoming aware of your physical body and your energy—including your sexual energy, which is connected to your physical body. You were exploring that. To me that is as healthy as learning how to walk, where you’re exploring your physical body and its possibilities for mobility. No one said you were bad or wrong or evil for exploring movement and walking. I certainly don’t see you as any more bad, wrong, or evil for learning about and exploring your sexual energy and your physical sexuality.
I see it as most unfortunate that institutions, such as the Catholic church, have promoted this belief that you are bad, wrong, sinful, or whatever else for doing what I consider to be not only a very natural thing but a healthy thing. Sexuality is part of who we are. It’s no more evil than your appetite for food. People don’t call being hungry and having a meal evil. Hunger is simply an energy you have in your body that’s connected to physical systems that are natural to your body. The same is true of sexuality.
However, sexuality has the potential for connecting you with God in a very profound way, a way that for most people is much more profound than most of your other bodily functions. In fact, this is why religious institutions have tried to convince people that sexuality is bad, wrong, or whatever. If you did not have that belief, if you believed or understood that your sexuality is natural, healthy, important, and a vital part of your life of connection to God, you would be a naturally empowered person—empowered to transcend the limitations of the third dimension and third-dimensional thinking. Those institutions have not wanted people to become empowered in that way, because they benefited from people’s separation from their own power, people’s obedience to them and placing them in a position of power.
This is all part of the third-dimensional legacy. It’s all part of what beings are learning about and learning to transcend and grow beyond in their experience in coming to Earth. Not only is it part of your spiritual path to explore your sexuality, but it is part of your spiritual path to go beyond the limitations of the thinking that says your sexuality is shameful or sinful in any way, to go beyond being limited by this kind of belief structure.
So from my point of view, in many ways you are right on course. You’re having your experience of having been limited by having taken on these belief systems, which was probably a very natural, understandable thing to do because you encountered them as a child. Very likely, the ones who you were trusting to discern for you which beliefs were supportive for you to take on believed this. So you took it on because they believed it.
But now you are an adult. You are growing and maturing spiritually. This is your time to become aware and conscious of what you choose to believe, what you choose to follow, what ideas you choose to empower as things that seem true, in the sense that they are consistent with your own experience and your own guidance.
I am guessing from what you’ve said that you no longer ascribe to the beliefs that sexuality or even masturbation is inherently wrong or bad or sinful, and yet you are struggling with earlier programming. Is that right?
Questioner: Correct.
Mary Magdalene: Even this kind of conversation can be immensely helpful in understanding that that is just one option amongst many, many options. From my point of view, you were probably a sensitive child. Your awareness of energy was probably very high. So you were naturally aware of your sexual energy at a young age, possibly younger than many other people. And you were empowering yourself to explore this. These are all very wonderful things, from my point of view. There is certainly no harm, that I am aware of, that can come to a child from exploring their sexuality, masturbating, and having orgasms. But because of their programming, other individuals—very likely including your family members—may have been uncomfortable with this. It may have been in conflict with their beliefs, or the level of shame that they carried, or their comfort around sexuality altogether, because of the programming they received and ascribed to.
In fact, the problem was probably much more on the part of those who told you that you were wrong. Maybe they didn’t even tell you that. Maybe they just were experiencing that within themselves. And because you are a very sensitive being, you picked up on their discomfort, their conflict, and their beliefs. And you took that on.
Does that seem accurate?
Questioner: That’s exactly how it seems.
Mary Magdalene: So the first part is to realize that these were really their issues, their difficulty, their challenges that you took on, not your own. You were simply being your own natural, sensitive self.
What’s important is to realize that the decision of yours to take on their issues as your own issues was your choice. Of course you were very young and it is natural to do things like that when you are young. But nevertheless it was a choice.
Now you have the choice to no longer continue to take on those beliefs or those conflicts that others are carrying. Can you sense this in yourself?
Questioner: Yes, absolutely.
Mary Magdalene: Again, it does not mean that you need to go telling everyone you meet that you feel differently or that you have a different point of view. That may not be supportive. You are in choice about who you share this with. But you can certainly do this for yourself in relationship to these arenas. You can do this relative to sexuality. And you can also do this relative to your use of the medicine that you were taking.
I have been shown very strongly that whenever a being makes a choice, there are always very wonderful, or you could say beautiful, reasons for that choice. Those reasons are what I have called your “inner divine qualities.” When you made the choice to first take the medicine, and then later to take it more than was being prescribed, you had very important reasons why you made that choice. It doesn’t mean that the outcome of that choice—the outcome of the behaviors that you chose to engage—are ones that you are pleased about. It could be that you look at the outcome of those behaviors and you regret that choice. You regret that you chose to act upon your motivations in that particular way. But regret and shame are very different things.
Regret is part of the human experience. Humans makes choices. In retrospect, some of the choices you are happy about and some of the choices you are not happy about. Both serve your growth. So it is fine to make choices that you are not happy about. That is part of the growth process.
When you realize you’ve made choices you’re not happy about, most humans experience regret. But if you have been given the program that whenever you feel regret it means you’re a bad person, then very likely that regret will turn into shame. Shame is saying “there’s something defective about me because I made this choice, or I took this action.” That is based on a combination of regret and judgment. You’re making judgments about yourself, such as: “I should have known better.” “I should have been stronger.” “I shouldn’t have been vulnerable to this kind of artificial support.”
Are you making those kinds of judgments about yourself?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Are there other judgments that you’re making, too?
Questioner: It tends to be the same things: “I shouldn’t have done that.” “I should be stronger.” “I shouldn’t be so emotional.” …
Mary Magdalene: “I should know better.” “I should be more stable.” “I should be more like other people who don’t have these problems.”
Those kinds of things?
Questioner: Absolutely.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. “There’s something the matter with me that I can’t do it right.”
Questioner: Exactly.
Mary Magdalene: When you set all those judgments aside, are you able to feel something different in terms of an emotion, other than shame, relative to your taking this medicine?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: What is it that comes up?
Questioner: More compassion.
Mary Magdalene: And perhaps regret or sadness for the situation that you’re in?
Questioner: Yes, sadness and regret. But especially when you were talking about the inner divine qualities, then I feel compassion.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. There are two things. You have sadness that engaging with these medicines hasn’t supported you in the way that you were hoping. Is that true?
Questioner: Correct.
Mary Magdalene: And it has had some negative ramifications. Is that right?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Yes.
What I would like to look at are the inner divine qualities that you were hoping to fulfill by taking this medicine, and even taking more than was prescribed. What were you hoping to accomplish by that, consciously or unconsciously?
Questioner: Power over myself—being powerful. Also being productive, getting stuff done. Being able to connect with people. I think I also used the medicine to mask some depression, as well. So I wanted to be joyful and happy to connect with people, and give that joy and happiness to people.
Mary Magdalene: Beautiful! This is the important thing that will help you the most with shame. It is to realize there were very valid, important, and even beautiful reasons why you were making these choices. You wanted to have power over yourself. You wanted to be productive and functional. You wanted to connect with others. You wanted joy in your life. These are wonderful, important things that everyone needs in their life. You were choosing this modality of trying to accomplish these things. Perhaps it didn’t work the way that you were hoping. But that doesn’t mean that you are a bad person. It simply means you made a choice that didn’t work out the way that you were hoping.
Now what you can do is take steps to make a different choice. Take steps to get off of the substance, if that’s what you choose to do, or whatever seems like the wisest choice now to accomplish these same things. Because it’s still important that you have all of these things: that you feel empowered, that you are functional and productive, that you connect with others, and that you have joy in your life. You still need all of those things. You can simply shift from this self-judgment and paralyzing position of “I’m bad,” to “I tried something. It didn’t work the way I had hoped. Now I’m going to look at what else I can do to fulfill these important inner divine qualities.”
How does that land with you?
Questioner: That’s very helpful and feels very healing.
Mary Magdalene: Wonderful.
Hopefully you are finding people who can support you in finding practical steps you can take to fulfill these inner divine qualities, which will support you in better ways than the ways you were trying through the medicine.
I highly recommend that you also change your languaging. Rather than saying, “I have a substance-abuse problem,”—because you’re labeling yourself as one who’s involved in abuse—say, “I have a problem with my use of this medication. It’s not supporting me. I want to change that.” Simply state what is without any judgment.
Can you feel the difference?
Questioner: Absolutely. Yes. (laughing) Thank you, that feels so much better.
Mary Magdalene: (laughing) Wonderful.
Questioner: I have another question about depression. I have a big fear of depression. I anticipate having depression as a result of the chemical changes I’m going to have in my body through going off this medication. I think I started to use the medication to mask some depression. It’s really the fatigue and lack of motivation that I don’t like.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. So that is wonderful because now you’re getting to the root of the issues that motivated you originally to use the medication. And again, you can look at other options.
It may be that you need medication to help you with depression, but you can look at using medication as one option. You can look at which medications would be most helpful, if you choose to engage medication. Find someone who can help you with your full spectrum of concerns. You may want to work with someone more naturally oriented, who is open to the use of medications as one option, and who can help you sort through all the various possibilities, as well as your concerns. Then they can help you to come up with a holistic program that will be tailored to you and will hopefully help you the best. They can also help you to monitor the program and how it’s working for you. Then, if you start with a medication and find out it’s not working the way you hoped, or it has consequences you didn’t realize beforehand, you can make choices about what steps to take.
You can also start to look at natural options for handling depression. There may be things in your diet that could change the actual biochemistry in your body. There could be things like exercise. There could be certain social engagements or a support group of some sort or other, working with a therapist or a coach. There may be all kinds of things.
So I suggest that you get a support person who you like where they’re coming from, who you trust, and who you feel has the understanding of the full picture, so they can help you to access all the different kinds of resources you may need.
Questioner: Thank you. That’s very helpful.
Mary Magdalene: Wonderful.

WHAT WE REALLY WANT WHEN WE’RE IN PAIN
By Mercedes Kirkel
This week I was in pain. Not physical pain, emotional pain. Something happened with my mother that deeply disturbed me. My mother lives half way across the country and was recently placed in a memory care facility. What was disturbing me was that I hadn’t been told where my mother had been transferred to and I didn’t know how to find out. When I realized all this, I became very upset.
The people who knew where she was weren’t available to talk with me, so I did some processing with myself around what had occurred. I came to a place of realizing that the people who had made this decision needed blessing. I couldn’t imagine them doing this unless they were under some kind of duress. I began to send them blessings and this actually brought me to a space of peace.
But the situation with my mother was still there and over time I felt myself sinking. It was really hard for me to not know where she was. I reached out to a number of friends to help me to get through my pain. Each time I told someone what had occurred, I could see the distress on their face. Obviously, they found the situation painful just to hear about. Then they tried to help me.
Different people tried different things. Some expressed anger toward the people who had taken the actions. Some explained to me why they thought those people had chosen to do what they did. Some told me their stories of similar incidents. Some offered me a hug. Some assured me it would all work out.
I could feel everyone’s energy and genuine desire to help me. But sadly, it wasn’t really working. Maybe a little, teensy bit. But not much.
Then I realized that I knew what I really wanted from my friends. I wanted them to help me open up to my feelings, or as Mary Magdalene says, “to embrace my feelings.” I was struggling to just be with my pain, because of the intensity of what I was feeling and my own habits of jumping out of painful emotions when they come up. I needed help to go into it.
Beyond that, I wanted help to find the inner divine qualities that the feelings were actually coming out of. This is Mary’s basic teaching about how to respond to pain, which she brought forth in Mary Magdalene Beckons. She said that whenever we’re in emotional pain, the emotions are showing us that we’ve gotten disconnected from our own inner divinity. What’s more, the emotions themselves are our guides, showing us how to reconnect to that divine part of ourselves (our inner divine qualities)—if we understand how to relate to them rightly.
There was no question that I was disconnected from the divine. I felt like I was in a black hole. But now that I’d had the light-bulb moment of realizing what I wanted, I had a ray of hope that I could get what would actually help me.
I chose two friends and explained that what I’d really like was for them to verbally reflect back to me the feelings I was having, which would help me to open to those feelings. They were able to do that right away. They readily reflected back to me that I was in pain and also felt powerless.
Then they went to the next step, which is really important. They made guesses as to what the inner divine qualities were that were the source of my feelings.. With my friends’ help, I was able to discern that my pain was because I was wanting connection with my mom. The powerlessness I was feeling was because I wanted to matter. (Not being told where my mother was had pushed my “I don’t matter” button.)
What I love about this process is how direct and streamlined it is. I actually think of it as elegant. Just by identifying the inner divine qualities that I’d become disconnected from—in this case connection with a loved one and mattering—that awareness brought the light of consciousness to shine on those qualities. As soon as that happened, my own consciousness of what I’d been disconnected from was sufficient to restore me to that divine part of myself. Voila—connected again! So simple, yet deeply effective.
At that point, I had the #1 sign that I was reconnected to my inner divinity, which I so often see when I guide others through this process: I came to peace.
Not long afterward, I received a message telling me where my mother was and how I could contact her. Hallelujah! I was definitely relieved.
I celebrated my return to connection with my inner divinity, along with connection to my mom. And I celebrated the step I’d taken to ask for what I wanted and receive the support I so needed.

MARY MAGDALENE: My State Now
Image by-Pink Sherbet Photography
Part 10 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 19, 2014
Question: Mary, can you tell us what your life looks like now?
Mercedes: What she is showing me is that she is part of a very large group—you might call it a soul group. They’re in a form that is hard for us to understand. It’s like a form of light. Their work involves blessing, meditation, and their own evolution. And they work together with many ascended beings. That’s as much as she’s showing.
Mary Magdalene: It seems this may be a good closing place for now.
My sense is that you are all clear on what your path and your work is, and that you are not overwhelmed by it, which is most wonderful.
There are many who do feel overwhelmed, or may be avoiding their path out of some sense of it being too difficult, too hard. You help them just by what you do within yourself. You may be able to help them in other ways, but your demonstration is what helps them more than anything. Your demonstration helps them to see that it is possible to find the light, to find joy, to find everything that humans want through the path of transcendence and communion with God. So you are the way-showers and I thank you all so much.
In great blessings and love,
I AM Mary Magdalene

MARY MAGDALENE: Surrender Isn’t Passivity
Part 9 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 19, 2014
Question: I feel that the greatest power we have is surrender. The real surrender to God seems so enormously powerful, just like the sun, something of enormous power, far beyond a limited human being.
Mary Magdalene: Don’t confuse surrender with passivity. Surrender can take any form. It may move you to be very active and very engaged. But the activity is from the place of following God, letting God move you.
Questioner: It doesn’t feel like a giving up—other than giving up something that’s in the way and then asking God to guide you and to do what it will with you. It’s a very active thing to surrender in that way.
Mary Magdalene: Yes.

MARY MAGDALENE: Accessing Feminine Power
Photograph by Rama
Part 8 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 19, 2014
Question: Mary, what is your advice for women to come into their true Feminine power, because women have been conditioned to not be in their true power.
Mary Magdalene: Connect to your emotions. Connect to your body. Connect to your sexuality. That’s where you’re Feminine power is.
It may not look the same as what you tend to think of as power, because power has been defined in a very Masculine way. But it is powerful, without doubt.
For both Feminine and Masculine, your true power is in your communion with God. It’s ultimately the same for the Feminine and Masculine. Your real power is in your connection with God. But the Feminine avenues for that are through the emotions, sexuality, and the body.
It doesn’t mean you won’t use your mind or have a brilliant mind. But your mind will be in service to this strength of your Feminine self.
Is that helpful?
Questioner: Yes it is, thank you.
Mary Magdalene: You’re welcome.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Secret to Feminine Power
Part 7 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 19, 2014
Questioner: I want to understand about incorporating our sexuality into our spirituality, because I love it. Isn’t that just totally the third dimension, because it’s our body and it’s so enjoyable?
Mary Magdalene: Oh no. (She laughs.) Your sexuality is your body, but it is also your energy. If there were no energy, if it was simply your bodies, you wouldn’t enjoy it. It’s the energy that lights you up, that gives you pleasure. Energy is what you’re experiencing.
As you ascend—as more and more your higher-dimensional experience becomes where you are centered and what you are experiencing—you will be more and more having an energetic experience, and less and less a physical experience. This is what many are afraid of, because they don’t have the experience of how exponentially more wonderful that is.
It comes in the perfect timing, when the being is ready to open to that.
Is that helpful?
Questioner: Yes, it affirms that I don’t have to be afraid that I’m stuck in the third dimension by enjoying sexuality. I think part of the stigma of the world, of this Earth, is that somehow sexuality is…
Mary Magdalene: Lower?
Questioner: Lower, exactly.
Mary Magdalene: Right there with women. (She laughs.)
Questioner: Yes, right. It’s demeaned, when it should be honored.
Mary Magdalene: Because it is so powerful.
Questioner: Because it’s so powerful! It’s the power that runs the world. Yet they want to just squish it.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. That is our Feminine power.
Questioner: I see. And everyone is terrified of it… especially men!
Mary Magdalene: And many women, too, because the women have received the same indoctrination.
Questioner: Right. “Don’t go there.”
So that’s why it’s now becoming sacred.
Mary Magdalene: It’s always been sacred. (She laughs.) But more and more people are now ready to engage it in that form.
Questioner: It’s always been—it’s just a recognition.
Mary Magdalene: And an embrace, a choosing.
Questioner: Due to things like Playboy magazine and prostitution, I think a lot of men have been exposed to the very negative side of sexuality.
Mary Magdalene: It’s the very Masculine side, when it’s cut off from the Feminine.
Questioner: Emotion?
Mary Magdalene: Emotion… and also the heart, softness, opening… and the Feminine needs of love, safety, stability, being lovingly held and protected, home… all of the Feminine parts of ourselves. So it’s the Masculine version of being engaged in sexuality, without the Feminine.
Questioner: Without the caring, compassion, home, love—just the enjoyment part. And then they just throw everything else away, and they separate things into, “This is OK and that is not OK.”
Mary Magdalene: What is OK and what’s not OK?
Questioner: The woman in Playboy magazine is never to be respected. However, she could be married and have children.
Mary Magdalene: But that would probably take away from the Masculine-only version of sexuality. (Laughing.)
Questioner: Right. So she’s a toy, and this one is OK because she’s my wife.
Mary Magdalene: I’m not exactly clear.
Questioner: Some men perceive females in a negative way, like their mom is OK, but someone who is in Playboy magazine is not.
Mary Magdalene: It is basically their relationship to their own sexuality, because they don’t see their mother as a sexual being, just as was done to Mother Mary. She was completely removed from her sexuality.
If men are not embracing their own sexuality fully, then they project that part of their sexuality onto another woman, and they both desire her and disdain her at the same time.
Questioner: Why the disdain?
Mary Magdalene: Because they’ve rejected their own Feminine side, so it is projected onto the woman.
Questioner: That is shifting now, isn’t it?
Mary Magdalene: It needs to shift, absolutely. And women need to help. Women need to guide. Women need to be the leaders. Women need to show what strong, soft, beautiful, loving Femininity and sexuality is, and to guide the men into opening to that.
They’ll follow. (Everyone laughs.)
Questioner: Cool!
Mary Magdalene: Yes. But for that to happen, women need to stop being “the man.” They need to become “the woman.”
Questioner: Right. To survive in the man’s world, a lot of the women have just become men, which is kind of sad. I’ve seen it a number of times.
Mary Magdalene: Most women have done this.
Questioner: Most women, including me?
Mary Magdalene: There are probably parts of yourself in which you’ve done that. Most women have vestiges, where they don’t even realize it, of having adapted to survive in a man’s world.
But more and more women are awakening to their Femininity and bringing that forth. You are the leaders who will help other women to do this.
Questioner: Right.
I love to be a girly girl. I love that!
Mary Magdalene: Yes, that’s one of your strengths.

MARY MAGDALENE: Letting Go of the Third Dimension
Picture by ผู้สร้างสรรค์ผลงาน/ส่งข้อมูลเก็บในคลังข้อมูลเสรีวิกิมีเดียคอมมอนส์ – เทวประภาส มากคล้าย
Part 6 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 19, 2014
Question: Mary, I feel this spiritual quickening in my life and I’m having trouble keeping up. Do you have any advice how to keep in balance with this? Things are just coming so fast. How do I integrate my physical life with the quickening of the spiritual life? The physical life is so slow and the spiritual life is so quick. I don’t know how to integrate that so that the physical life is in balance with the spiritual.
Mary Magdalene: It requires letting go. The more you’re holding on, the harder it will be—the more impossible, ultimately, it will be. The more you let go and surrender, then you will be able to do everything that is necessary to do.
Questioner: I don’t know what you mean by surrendering and let go. Can you explain that a little more?
Mary Magdalene: It’s calling for a greater degree of letting go, which is ultimately letting go in God. The first step is to become aware of how you may be holding on, trying to do it by third-dimensional, mechanical means. That is becoming less and less viable.
Part of this spiritual process is that you are in a process of transforming how things will get accomplished. More and more you’re being called upon to let go in God and let God direct you as to what to do. That will be the way that will be perfect.
Questioner: (Taking a big breath) OK, I can do it.
Mary Magdalene: You’ll get instant feedback whether you are doing it or not! (She laughs.)
Questioner: Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: This process of letting go of the third dimension is not easy. Your attachments to the third dimension are profound, profound. It is a kind of a death process. It is what beings experience when they let go of the third dimension in dying, and how difficult that is for many. This is part of why you practice things like meditation, because meditation is a form of that letting go, that release. Meditation trains you to more and more come from that place. There are these processes, and there are many various forms, but if it is a true meditation it is helping you to let go. That may be something to do more of.
Questioner: Right, absolutely. Thank you.
I still would like a little bit of clarity about how we are in the third dimension but also letting go of it. It sort of sounds like a contradiction.
Mary Magdalene: You’re letting go of the third dimensional process of being.
Questioner: Process of being vs. actually being here. We aren’t dying, we are just…
Mary Magdalene: Right. You’re more and more integrating a higher-dimensional way of being, even while you’re still here. You may be partly in the higher dimension. It may be a percentage of being here and being there.
The third dimension is very much about power. The way in the third dimension is about bringing power, or you might say “force,” to doing things. Many people are familiar with this when they think about willpower, doing things in a willful way. You’re now learning a different way and seeing that, more and more, the willful, forceful way causes great conflict and tension, and ultimately doesn’t work. As things get faster and faster, it will work less and less.

MARY MAGDALENE: Masculine-Feminine Balancing
Image by Mbiama
Part 5 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 19, 2014
Question: Mary, we keep talking about the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine coming together in balance, and it’s still not in balance. Do you see that actually happening in this lifetime?
Mary Magdalene: It is up to you. It is a creative moment. It is how quickly you choose—you as individuals and you as a whole, as a collective—and how strong the need is for it. That is always what moves you. That is the way. That is the path.
Of course humans are not fully understanding time altogether. What is happening is happening very quickly in the grand scheme of things. But to all of you incarnated now it may seem very slow. But this change is happening very quickly.
Questioner: Thank you.
