WHAT COULD NOT BE REMOVED ABOUT YESHUA AND MARY MAGDALENE
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On July 28, 2014
Question: It seems to me that, as a culture, we spend a lot of time talking about Yeshua as an individual and less about his teachings. We tend, as human beings, to worship idols, so to speak. What I’m perceiving that you’re bringing forth are the principles of the Feminine Divine. The Church wanted to make you not available, but maybe more important were the principles you brought forth.
Mary Magdalene: Very much so. This is why Yeshua was turned into a God, so that he could be distant and removed. Part of the removal was the removal of his teaching, along with the idea that others could be what he was and is. The idea of him being different from all other humans was the opposite of what he taught. So there was much that was changed and much that was lost.
What was not lost was his Presence. People’s connection with that is very real. And there is great power in his Presence. Your eastern religions have recognized this to a very strong degree. They understand that spiritual transformation can happen in a number of ways. Teaching is one way. Another way is through the transmission of spiritual Presence. Many people experience this with Yeshua and with myself. It is why people have remained in connection with both of us, but you might say in particular with me when it would have been so easy for my story, my work, my Presence, my everything to have been buried. But it did not happen because, while the Church was able to change the mental aspects of what occurred—the story and the teaching, they could not change the reality of spiritual Presence. That has remained alive and carried the ember of our work all this time.
But spiritual instruction is a tremendous boon. The most powerful is the combination—for people to have spiritual instruction along with spiritual Presence. This is a tremendous help.
It is also true that in the third dimension, part of being so bonded to the physical form is that beings are more easily connected to the human form of anything than its more subtle form. Teaching is more subtle. Spiritual Presence is more subtle. So the human form is the most accessible. It also gives people inspiration and hope that if this happened for one human, it can happen for them. There is tremendous power in that hope. Hope is an enormous spiritual asset. It can turn the ember of spiritual connection into a raging fire, a passion that transforms and creates miracles. So the human connection is also quite important, especially in this realm. This is part of why it was important for us to manifest in the human form.
Different people will find different aspects of our work that they resonate with most. And that is fine. Whatever form speaks to your heart, that is the form that will feed and support you for this part of your path.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Beings Within the Earth
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On July 28, 2014
Question: My dear mother taught me a light prayer when I was little: to send light and love to all those near and dear to us, to all points on the Earth and the nation, and to all points and planets in the Universe and powers in the Earth. Can you explain more about “powers in the Earth” please? She talked of the people underground.
Mary Magdalene: You are very blessed to have a mother who taught you this prayer. This is a priestess prayer.
Part of coming into the third dimension is that you are reduced to primarily the physical. So most of what you are consciously aware of and experience through your senses is the physical realm. This includes other beings that are physically manifest and all the features of the physical world. Because of this, most people tend to relate to the Earth as a physical entity. Your scientists have analyzed exactly what all the physical components of your Earth are, as far as they know, and taught you that that’s what the Earth is. And many people see the Earth that way.
As you grow and open, part of what you’re opening to is greater awareness that the physical is only one level of reality. You might call it a dimension or a plane of existence. There are other levels of reality that coexist with this level, often in the same space. Such is the case with the Earth.
There are subtler beings that inhabit your Earth—some upon the Earth, the way that you know yourself to be upon the Earth, but some within the Earth. Some of these are the beings that you find in your mythologies or stories, such as fairies, elves, gnomes, or those types of beings. Some of them aren’t part of your mythology or haven’t been brought to awareness in that way, but they are nonetheless present and real. So these are beings that are existing, you could say, in the Earth. They are in other realms that exist simultaneous with the Earth manifesting as a physical realm.
In general, these beings exist at higher or what you might call “subtler” levels of reality or planes of existence. Many of them are more evolved than human beings are tending to be at this time. And many of them are connected to you in various forms—as your sisters and brothers, teachers, helpers. Some are not as supportive as others. There is a whole range of beings.
Is this what you are referring to?
Questioner: Yes, thank you.
Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

MARY MAGDALENE: Being Strong in the Feminine Without Challenging the Masculine
Shakti Dancing compliments of KarunaArts.com
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On July 28, 2014
[NOTE FROM MERCEDES: This dialog occurred during a gathering in Sedona, AZ, during which I was channeling Mary Magdalene. The questioner was a woman who attended the gathering.]
Question: I have been studying your teachings and have felt drawn to your fire and your softness. I want to better understand the Feminine power in its ecstatic, sexual fire form. What is the way to not challenge the Masculine with this fire energy of the Feminine and a Feminine body? How can I safely contain it and flow it, without inviting danger, rape, and Masculine domination from the out-of-balance Masculine?
Mary Magdalene: There is much to this. I am glad that you have asked. It is important for many to know and understand this.
It has a great deal to do with being strong in your emotions and your physical body. The natural progression for a child is first to develop their relationship to their physical body and then their emotional body, their energy body, and lastly their sexuality. The energy body is an early form of sexuality, but it doesn’t become sexual as most people think of sexuality until a later point. If this progression is well developed and people are strong in this, you have great strength and protection.
At this time, especially in the West, many are not strong in this. Women often were schooled to be dissociated from their physical body and their emotions in many ways. Men have been schooled to dissociate in different ways, especially with certain of the emotions. But for women, it is often that they were trained to be subservient and submissive, and to subdue their strength relative to their body and their emotions—particularly if it was in a form that seemed at all challenging to authority or the Masculine, or both.
For many, changing this will require strengthening of the emotions, and possibly the physical body as well. I do not mean strengthening as far as building up muscles, although you could liken it to building up muscles. But it’s not literally what I am speaking about. I am talking about not having blocks, being fully developed and complete in your maturity in these areas.
This is why in the first book that Mercedes brought through from me, Mary Magdalene Beckons, I focused so much on the emotions. At this time, many—including many light workers, many who are very sincerely on the spiritual path and very dedicated to that path—are still lagging behind in their emotional development, suppressed in certain areas. This has affected your power tremendously, because you don’t know yourself if you are not clear in your emotions. You are not connected to yourself. You don’t know what’s going on. You’re not getting the signals that are telling you what’s happening with yourself and in your world. You have learned to shut those down.
Until you do that emotional work in its fullness and you become strong in that, you will have this problem of being divorced from your power. This is a massive problem at this time in your world. This is why you live in a world that is so dominated by so very few people. It is because all of you have been trained to give your power away.
This is not limited to women. This is also the case with men, although their training happens in a somewhat different way. But you have been trained to submit and to be submissive. Some use stronger words. They say you’ve been trained to be slaves. There is a certain amount of truth in this. And it is why so much of your world is controlled by those who actually have very little power. They have convinced you to be divorced from your own power. So it seems that they have a great deal of power. They don’t, in fact. If you were to call back your power, you could easily overcome them because you are much more powerful. It is simply numbers.
The root of this problem is in the emotions, in not being connected to your emotional body and getting the information that the emotional body would give you. If you were connected to your emotions and you were in a situation where the emotions were telling you—and you were receiving the communication—to be afraid, that this is not a safe situation, that would empower you to act and to bring about the safety that you require. But if you have divorced yourself from your feelings, you do not recognize that your communication of fear is coming up, so you don’t receive the information that this is not a safe situation.
Sexuality is something that requires discernment. This is why children are not sexual at birth. They don’t have that discernment. Sexuality is given to them when their minds are more developed, and hopefully the other parts of their being—their physical, emotional, and energy bodies—are also more developed. Then they have the capability of using their sexuality with discernment.
It is not that you are to open your sexual power to the world as a continual, ongoing state or to anyone you encounter. In general, this would not be wise and would not support you. It does not mean that you shut down your power. You keep your power open to yourself and then you choose in what circumstances and with whom it is the correct situation to open sexually.
In your time, you are given so many messages that are very confusing. You are constantly being shown sexual messages through your media that are indoctrinating you that you should be sexual all the time if you want to have any value. This has created great confusion.
Your Feminine power is not identical to your sexuality. They are two different things. Sexuality is one form that your Feminine power takes, but it is not the only form. You choose when you wish to manifest your Feminine power through the form of sexuality.
You must become wise. You must become discerning. But more than anything, you must heal your emotional blocks. You must learn to, once again, come into complete integration and functional mastery and utilization of your emotions. The ones I am talking about are your painful emotions, the ones many refer to as your “negative emotions,” which in and of itself is a communication saying, “This is something you should not be involved in.” That is misinformation. That is part of the propaganda being put out all the time. It is propaganda against the Feminine. Your emotions—including all of your painful emotions—are part of your Feminine nature, whether you are a man or a woman. The suppression and misinformation that has been put out about emotions has been part of the programming of suppressing your power.
Ultimately your power is in the Feminine. The Masculine is not as powerful as the Feminine. This is not to say that men are not as powerful as women, because men have their Feminine, just as women do. The Masculine is a genius at implementation. But the Feminine is the fuel. The Feminine is the spark. The Feminine is the energy. The Feminine is the power.
With this comes responsibility. Some have awakened to their Feminine power and have not awakened to the same understanding of how to use it responsibly. It is not to dominate. It is not to hurt. It is not to overpower. It is to be used in love. It is to be used in love of the Masculine. It is a beautiful system that works perfectly when it is full, when you are in your wholeness.
Part of your process of coming to the Earth has been to realize this wholeness. It is a very great process, this wholeness in the third dimension. It is a process that, for most of you, will require lifetimes. You are learning about all the different aspects of this wholeness. Power is an enormous one that is being learned about in the third dimension. More than anything else, you might say that the third dimension is a school for learning about power. Many of you have suffered the incompleteness of this lesson. It is a lesson in process and many misuses are still occurring. That is the way beings learn and grow in the third dimension.
I highly recommend that you devote yourself to this growth. It is the most important thing you can do. It is what will ultimately free you from the pain, the suffering, the limitation you have experienced when this growth is not yet complete.
Does that answer your question, or is there more that you wish to know about this?
Questioner: There is more. Part of my teachings has been to use sexual power as part of my medicine, energy, and vitality. When there is an abundance of that in the Feminine form, that seems to taunt authority and the Masculine. How do we keep the raw Feminine fire safe?
Mary Magdalene: You must develop your heart. Power must always be used in service to the heart. The heart does not taunt.
Questioner: I’m not saying the intention is to taunt. When a female is flowing her energy, why does that seem to taunt authority? Is that part of what rape is? What is it about the Feminine that challenges the Masculine in that way? Why has the Masculine for centuries now had to shut down the Feminine?
Mary Magdalene: What I have to say may be hard to hear.
Questioner: OK.
Mary Magdalene: (speaking gently) There is a learning for you in this. In some way, you are still seeing the Masculine as your opponent. In some way there is probably pain inside of you relative to the Masculine. And there is healing to be done.
Questioner: Is it not collective, though?
Mary Magdalene: (still speaking gently) It is never collective. It is always in our hearts. In our hearts we create this world. Whatever you’re experiencing in this world is what you have created in your heart. If you are having this experience, there is some way that it is calling to you to do some transformational work within yourself. It may be difficult to see.
Questioner: No, I see it. Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: Are you complete with this?
Questioner: For now, yes. Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: Many blessings to you.

MARY MAGDALENE: Why You Were Guided to the San Francisco Bay Area
“Golden gate2” by Aslak Raanes
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On August 9, 2014
[Note from Mercedes: This message was directed to me personally from Mary Magdalene, shortly after I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, which I did in response to guidance from Spirit to make this move. I offer it for everyone because I feel there is information from Mary that will be of value to many.]
Mercedes: Beloved Mary, I ask for your help and guidance. I am feeling exhausted and discouraged from my search for a place to live in the Bay Area. The rents are much higher than I am used to and comfortable with, and what’s being offered in exchange seems very small and limiting, sometimes even depressing. On top of that, so many people are looking for places and there are many fewer available, so that I’m not even getting responses to my inquiries. Is this a sign that I’m not supposed to be here? Where am I supposed to be and what am I supposed to do?
Mary Magdalene: Hello my dear one. I am here, as always, and I am glad that you have called upon me. I feel the heaviness in your body and mind and I sense how difficult this time has been for you.
I am celebrating the things you are doing to stay strong in the midst of this. You have been meditating daily, which is so important. You have been caring for your body with good food, exercise, and sleep. You have been talking with your friends and sharing your feelings with them, getting their support and really taking it in. You have been receiving touch, which is such an important form of nurturing for you. You have reached out to your circle of friends and acquaintances in the area and asked for their prayers and practical help in finding a rental. You have shown courage in asking for help beyond your comfort zone. You have remained compassionate and caring toward others and their struggles and challenges, including landlords who have chosen others over you. You have remained in a disposition of trust that there is enough for all. You have gone through your initial stress and fear to reach a greater depth of openness to Spirit’s guidance of your life. And you have allowed your mind to expand to greater possibilities, including that you may live further from your desired location or perhaps may not stay in this area at all. This is all most important and highly laudable. I want to be sure you are aware of how strong your practice and connection to Spirit has been in this time.
You sense that there is still reason for you to be in this area and I am in agreement with that. You have also sensed that this challenging time you are experiencing is for a purpose, which I also agree with. You might liken it to the difficult passage of childbirth that leads to a being entering fully into your third dimension. Similarly, you are entering into a new phase of your life and work, and this difficulty is part of what is preparing you for that.
You are becoming sensitive, through your personal experience, to the great stress that many people are feeling at the survival level at this time. You have been mostly shielded from this up till now. Even when people described to you how challenging the housing market is in the Bay Area, prior to your coming there and experiencing it yourself, you did not really understand or fully believe what they were telling you. You did not have deep empathy for what this experience is like.
This is part of your process of preparing for greater service. You are now understanding in a whole new way the powerful stress that so many experience at this time. You are in a bigger metropolitan area, (though certainly not as big as some in your world) and you are seeing the results when so many people are concentrated into a finite area, how inhuman it can become. You are also seeing the stress created by a higher speed of life and a higher cost of living. All of this is a part of many people’s ongoing reality, and now you are coming to understand this in a much more profound way.
You have experienced sadness about this, not merely for yourself but primarily for all those who live in this circumstance and consider it to be normal. And you have maintained your dignity and heart-openness in the midst of it.
Part of this is for your growth. With the completion of your recent book, your work is at the beginning of a new phase of great growth. For this to be allowed and supported, you need to be in a bigger circumstance than you were previously. The Bay Area is not just a bigger circumstance in terms of population. It is specifically bigger in terms of both spiritual teachers and the general population who are interested in the kind of work you are doing. This is fertile ground for you. And you are bringing something to this area that is greatly needed and for which people are hungry.
The Bay Area is, in general, a kind of spiritual portal for the astral dimension. This is why it has become a center for spiritual teachers and aspirants alike. The spiritual energy is stronger there than in many places, and people’s spiritual practice and growth tends to be supported more fully there—though, of course, it is possible to practice and grow spiritually anywhere. Nonetheless, there are areas on the Earth where different energies are felt and concentrated, and the Bay Area is such a place for the astral energies.
The astral tends to be more mind-oriented and thus tends to favor the Masculine. That is why many of the more Masculine-oriented teachings, such as the non-dual approach, have flourished in the Bay Area. There is much about these teachings that is true and is helpful to people. But like any teaching that tends to be favoring either the Masculine or the Feminine, it isn’t, in general, complete. The complete spiritual teaching and path that is essential at this time is the union of the Masculine and Feminine. In your world at this time, that will generally require the strengthening of the Feminine, along with the opening of the Masculine to value and support the Feminine, so that both may come into balance, harmony, and ultimately union.
Through receiving my instruction and guidance, you have become a voice and a guide for this shift from a spiritual consciousness that favors the Masculine into a spiritual consciousness that embraces and values the Feminine. And you have a significant role to play in this transformation. The Bay Area is the ideal place for you to spearhead this movement. (Please receive the humor of my using such a Masculine term for the very Feminine dynamic that is being called forth to rise and flower.)
This is why you have been brought here and it is not a mistake. The challenges you are experiencing are part of the process of you shedding your old identity and growing into one that is much larger and expansive, just as your work is growing to a much greater and expanded reach and impact. It parallels, in many ways, the process many others are experiencing of being stretched into a greater spiritual size and dimension, as part of the ascension process. This is your particular form of being stretched and grown. You are becoming a powerful leader for the Feminine.
Just as a woman going through childbirth is encouraged to relax deeply and surrender into the process, so do I recommend this for you in this time. Trust in the process. It is for your highest good and you will be fine.
Thank you for all the trust you have shown to this point and that I know you will continue to show. You are a great example for many of receiving your inner guidance and trusting it to the point of changing your entire life to follow it. Thank you so deeply for this.
I am here with and for you, in love and service. Call on me at any time.
I hold you in my arms of love,
I AM Mary Magdalene
[Afterword from Mercedes: Right after I received this message from Mary I responded to an ad for a rental. The woman called me back immediately and invited me to come see it. We met a few hours later and both really liked each other. She told me that a psychic had recently told her that a woman just like me would be moving into her house. We both agreed that it seemed like a perfect fit and I now have a place to live!]

MARY MAGDALENE: Calling In A Partner
Image courtesy of karunaarts.com.
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On May 13, 2014
Question: My past relationships with men have not been where I would like them to be. I want to be in a space where I attract the kind of man to me that I really want to have a relationship with. What might I do to call in that space, find that partner, and truly enjoy the fullness of a healthy relationship together?
Mary Magdalene: What are the areas that have been your challenges and which you feel you are moving beyond into a new form of relating?
Questioner: I would like to meet someone who has moved beyond financial struggles or pretty much has that settled, so it’s not a major issue. I also want a man who has handled his “baggage” with his mother and other women. And I want somebody who’s spiritually in alignment with me, who is a conscious male, who doesn’t look at my beliefs and what I do as strange or a hobby, or as something not significant and important in my life.
Mary Magdalene: These are different arenas and different issues that you have brought up—all very valid ones. The one relative to finance and money may be related to receiving and your ability to open to receiving. Is receiving an area that you have challenges with?
Questioner: In the past, yes. I come from a family of women who give more than they ever allow anything in. I’m not quite like them, but there’s still that imprint or genetic belief that I show my worth by giving. A part of me believes that giving to men shows why I’m important to them and why they would want to be with me.
Mary Magdalene: It would most likely be very valuable for you to take on a practice of receiving from men. If you have men in your life that you interact with in some way or other, through work or friendship or whatever, you can allow yourself to start to practice consciously receiving from them.
Know that what the Feminine gives to men is different than what the Masculine gives to you. You give them the Feminine essence. This is your life-force, your joy, your love, your nurturing—not nurturing in the sense of doing, like making food or cleaning the house or something like that. It’s energetic nurturing. The Feminine is basically about energy. You’re giving the energy of life and love to your partner. You’re enriching them through your energy. It also takes the form of intuition, insight, and emotion. It takes the form of pleasure. All of those are the domain of the Feminine. This is what you give to men through your Feminine.
What men give to women through their Masculine is much more about taking care of women, in very practical, pragmatic ways. They may support you in physical ways, financial ways, or helping figure things out in mental ways, through solving problems and those kinds of things. This is the fundamental play of the Masculine and the Feminine.
Of course, when you’re alone you’re drawing on your own Masculine and Feminine to be whole. Every individual needs to have their own wholeness, preferably before coming into a relationship. Then you’re whole in and of yourself. But the play between the Masculine and Feminine still exists. This has been lost to a certain extent in the Earth’s cultures of today, especially western culture, because so many things have changed, where women are very much living in their Masculine. They are schooled in their Masculine, they work in their Masculine, they care for themselves and oftentimes for others and they’re very much in their Masculine—oftentimes to the point of being cut off from their own Feminine and not knowing their own Feminine.
Men tend to also be in the Masculine and the Masculine orientation is what’s generally supported in your world today. When men see women coming from their Masculine, they see no need to take care of them, any more than they would take care of another man. The relationship ends up being very much about two Masculine beings relating to each other, which has not worked very well for many people.
If you’re calling in a relationship where you want a man who’s strong financially, who’s competent and self-sufficient in that way, then you need to be more in the Feminine role and have the man be more in the Masculine role. You may need to strengthen your Feminine, in relation to men in general, as part of calling in the man you desire to be in relationship with—strengthening your Feminine of receiving and responding energetically. So that is the first thing I would recommend.
How does that sound to you?
Questioner: Good. It makes sense.
Mary Magdalene: Wonderful. Relative to the second thing your were pointing to—that men had issues with women and their mothers—the main thing you can do is to make sure you’re clear relative to your issues with men. The degree to which you are clear in that arena determines the degree to which you will be calling in a partner who’s equally clear in their issues and relationships with women. Does that make sense?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Are you aware of what your work is in that area?
Questioner: Yes. I’ve had other men come in and they have the same issues. So I know that I still have some things to work out to call in something different.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. Sometimes they’re mirroring your issues and sometimes they’re complementing your issues, which means they’re bringing the other side. One way or the other, they’re potentially pointing to what you’re doing to create the dynamic. So you must work on your issues and come to a place of healing from wounds that you have with men, whether it be your father or past relationships that you’ve had. You must come to the point of understanding and compassion for them and the wounding from which they’re coming. But you can’t do that until you’ve done the first. For your compassion and understanding of the other to be authentic and not just suppression, you always have to heal yourself first.
This will eventually lead you to the place of treasuring men, loving them, seeing them as so valuable, so wonderful and beautiful, and such a gift to you. This is the place you want to be in. Then you will draw men who are that for you, absolutely.
The third arena is relative to your partner’s spiritual development or consciousness. The primary thing for that is that you start to have the lens of seeing everyone as spiritual, as doing their spiritual work, rather than being different from you. Their circumstance might be different, they may have very different areas that they’re working on, which is their work to do at this time. But you start to see the similarities and you break down your lens of seeing the differences between you and the way you’re doing your spiritual work. That will very strongly affect the dynamic of any separation between your approach to spirituality and the approach of your partner.
If you do this, then even if your partner has a different path than yours, they will not see a fundamental difference. They’ll see that you’re on your path and that it is all important, valuable work.
Is that helpful?
Questioner: Yes, that makes sense.
Mary Magdalene: I am glad.
This has been a joy and a delight to speak with you, to interact, and to help you as best I’m able. My heart overflows with joy and love for you. Many blessings, my dear.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Marriage You Are Moving Toward
Given to Mercedes Kirkel
On July 22, 2014
[Note: This message was given on Mary Magdalene’s feast day.]
Hello my dear one,
Thank you for reaching out to me today and requesting that I communicate with you. I realize this is a day in which I am honored by many, and I appreciate the connection I feel with so many on this day, including yourself. And so I am most happy to communicate with you, as always.
I wish to begin with a personal message for you. You have pushed yourself very hard to bring forth your new book, which includes instruction from me on sacred sexuality. [Note: Mary is referring to Sublime Union: A Woman’s Sexual Odyssey Guided by Mary Magdalene.] I realize you wanted to have this available for everyone by today, to celebrate me. I thank you for this and affirm that this is going to be a book of great value to many. Your work and dedication is highly commendable and of great service. I also want to emphasize, as I have on previous occasions, that you must take care of yourself in the process. You have exhausted yourself through your hard work and it is important that you rest and remain balanced, even as you perceive there is so much to do. It is true that you are growing in your ability to draw upon higher energies to accomplish what you want to have done, and this is helping you tremendously. Nonetheless, you are still operating in the third dimension with physical requirements, and it is important that you continue to attend to these.
I perceive changes in your world that I see as positive. There are more and more who are awakening to the Feminine, and this is what is called for in your world at this time more than anything else. It would be more accurate to say “re-awakening,” because the connection to the Feminine was alive and strong in the distant past on Earth. But it has been suppressed and even forgotten to a large extent for a very long time. This is beginning to change.
The connection that many are feeling to me is one sign of this. The reason that my popularity is increasing at this time is because more and more people are finding their connection to the Feminine and they recognize that essence in me, even if they can’t name it as such. I seem to symbolize or embody it for many. And indeed, that is my role. I am the carrier of the Divine Feminine—not exclusively, of course, for that would be impossible and antithetical to what the Divine Feminine is. But I carry that pure quality in a form that is recognizable and identifiable for many.
This, of course, was why I was excluded and defamed for so long. You are coming out of a long period of time of conflict and competition, in which the Masculine, in its lower form—cut off from the Feminine, felt threatened by the Feminine and perceived it as necessary to suppress the Feminine in order to establish its authority and power. The results of this have been quite devastating to your world and many are now recognizing this.
This was a necessary, though painful, period of growth and exploration that humankind needed to experience, to see what the experience and results of this kind of dynamic would be. That epoch is coming to a completion. The experiment has been run and the results are clear. Now humans are increasingly ready for a new phase.
This is the phase of union between the Masculine and Feminine, of loving and cherishing both, each embracing the other to create wholeness. This is what will bring about the world so many of you envision and long for. As I have said many times before, the power is within each of you to create this, because it fundamentally will occur by each individual changing their relationship to their own Masculine and Feminine within.
This is why it was so important for the two books to be brought forward that you, Mercedes, have been the author for. In Mary Magdalene Beckons, I clarified the three arenas that everyone must strengthen to bring forth their own Divine Feminine: their relationship to their body, sexuality, and emotions. And I gave great instruction about how people can relate to their emotions, especially painful emotions, in a different way that will move them into union with God. This is the most important change for people, in general, to make at this time. It is what will do the very most to move people forward in their spiritual growth and into the next phase of spiritual evolution. It is what is least understood by most people relative to incarnating the Divine Feminine.
The second arena for people to develop to become strong in their own Divine Feminine is the area of sacred sexuality. This is what the new book, Sublime Union, is focused upon. This can be developed whether one is single or with a partner, because it is primarily an energy practice.
It is also important that people change their relationship to their body if there is any degree of shame, dislike, or dissociation from one’s physical body. I have not chosen to give instruction about this because there is already a great deal of information available to people about how to change this.
All three of these are the arenas within oneself that are the centers of your inner Feminine. If you are cut off or underdeveloped in any of these areas it is a reflection of your own suppression of the Feminine within yourself. When all of these areas are full and strong, you will have established the support for your inner Feminine so that you can reside stably in your heart, which is truly the inner throne of the Feminine. And you will also be prepared to open to your Divine Masculine within, to begin your courtship and eventual marriage with the Masculine, with both of these parts in their higher or mature form.
It is this marriage that you are all moving toward and which is also the gateway to the next dimension and your next level of spiritual growth. It is this marriage that Yeshua and I embodied and communicated to all with eyes to see and ears to hear. It is fundamentally a marriage of your own divine aspects and ultimately of yourself with God. It is the true marriage. All else is a celebration of this.
As more and more of you realize this and manifest this, your world will change to reflect this. Your world is already changing, which is a sign that this is underway. I celebrate this with you and support you all to continue in this great process. It is the calling of your heart and soul, and all are coming to recognize this in their perfect time.
I shower you with love and blessings and support as your sister in the heart.
I AM Mary Magdalene

MARY MAGDALENE: My Sacred Relationship with Yeshua
Mysticrose by Willow Arlenea, www.MysticLifeDesign.com
An Excerpt from MARY MAGDALENE BECKONS:
JOIN THE RIVER OF LOVE
By Mercedes Kirkel
Dear one of my heart ~
Today, I would like to tell you about me. I am Mary Magdalene. There is much confusion about me amongst many people, debate about who I was, what I was, what my relationship to Yeshua was. Much of the debate is a reflection of those who are debating. They see me through the filter of their beliefs and perceptions. They see me the way they see themselves and project onto me what they believe about themselves.
In truth, I was Yeshua’s sacred partner. We were equals, as holy man and woman, holy husband and wife. Just as there is no separation within our Mother-Father God—both aspects are equal and yet truly beyond equality, simply two faces of the Divine Being—so were Yeshua and I. We loved each other completely and still do. We saw each other as the divine self. We both were prepared for our meeting and relationship with each other, through the many schools and traditions of our times. My training was primarily through the Egyptian temple of Isis, where I was trained as a high priestess. There were many forms of being a priestess in this lineage. Many involved healing and blessing work. I was trained in the highest arts of serving the Divine through what was called Sacred Relationship. This was a school, or stream, within the temple, a very high one.
I was trained to relate to all of life as the play of God, the manifestation of God. And I was raised and trained to see all the parts of myself as holy and sacred—my physical body, emotional body, mental body, etheric body, and my higher self, or spiritual bodies. Upon this foundation, I was also trained to relate to a partner as the Divine Being and through that relationship to engage with that partner in practices and an entire sacred life that allowed each of us, each partner, to fulfill his or her divine blueprint of serving light and love in this world.
As a practitioner of Sacred Relationship, my design or chosen form (chosen by my soul before my incarnation at the time you know me from) was to engage Sacred Relationship with Yeshua and, through him, with all beings. He likewise chose—through his soul’s design and in concert with all the beings of light and our Mother- Father God—to engage Sacred Relationship with me and all beings. It was appropriate for that time and place that I should engage Sacred Relationship directly with Yeshua and indirectly with the world, and that he should engage Sacred Relationship directly with both me and the world.
Now the time has changed as we are entering into a new age, the age of Aquarius. It has been said by many that this is the age of equality between the Masculine and the Feminine, and this is true. And for this shift into equality to occur, there is a particular kind of passage required at this time. It is as though you are giving birth to the new age. As has always been the case with birth, this is uniquely the domain of the Feminine. It is the Feminine that must come to the fore and take the lead for this birth into the new age of equality to occur. And so I have been called to become very active at this time, to come forth to many to support this birth process, to support the Sacred Feminine coming forth, assuming her true power and place beside the Sacred Masculine. This is a call to all women and men, for all have the Sacred Feminine within them, as all have the Sacred Masculine, too. And it is a call to women and men in different ways.
For women, it is a call to assume your power, the Feminine power. The Feminine is the power of love and strength. We all know the strength it takes to birth a child. And it takes great strength to raise a child, as well. The Feminine is the complement to the Masculine. Both have their strengths, and both are required for wholeness. The Feminine brings life energy, love, aliveness, wisdom, faith, receptivity to the Divine, feeling, and inclusiveness. The Masculine brings insight, understanding, awareness, direction, tracking or maintaining awareness, attaining goals, and carrying out the divine plan. Each person contains all these qualities within them, as we all contain the Masculine and the Feminine within. And most people also resonate more fully with one or the other of these qualities, the Masculine or the Feminine. And so one option is to manifest this in life through Sacred Relationship with a partner.
Sacred Relationship is natural to humans, because of the way that we came to be here. We all came from the undifferentiated Source, or Oneness, which many call God. I use the term Supreme Creator. From the Supreme Creator came the first manifestation, a kind of step-down from Supreme Creator at the first level, which was Mother-Father God. All other beings and forms on Earth came through this first division into form. You could say that in some ways all beings on Earth are “children” of Mother-Father God. This isn’t literal because it is at a level of high physics that most people do not understand. I am giving you this as an analogy, simply to say that the pattern of Sacred Relationship is imprinted into your souls from this original manifestation that you are all the “offspring” of.
This does not mean that everyone needs to find a partner. Everyone can find Sacred Relationship within themselves. Indeed, each individual must find this whether they are with a partner or not. This wholeness within oneself is essential as the foundation for Sacred Relationship with a partner. One of the reasons there is so much difficulty and struggle in relationships today is that many have not found that wholeness within themselves and are looking to their partner—or a desired partner if they’re not yet in relationship—to make them whole. This is backward and will never work. People are not ready to enter into Sacred Relationship with a partner until they have found wholeness within themselves through the union and balancing of their own Masculine and Feminine and their union with God. On this basis, one comes to relationship whole, already full. Then one has love and light to offer a partner. Then there is excess to create the new union of their sacred partnership.
A sacred partnership is a kind of alchemy. You are mixing your destinies of service to God, of bringing love and light into the world. A true sacred partnership increases the love and light that the couple is bringing into the world, such that it is greater than the two could bring as individuals. That is sacred alchemy: it increases the love and light that both have to bring to the world through their relationship.
And so, to return to my relationship with Yeshua, we were in Sacred Relationship with each other, and this included sacred sexual relationship. We were both prepared for this through the training we received individually through sacred traditions, especially the Egyptian and Indian sacred paths. We engaged in lovemaking as a process of transforming our bodies into light and love, in service to our destinies. And we were deeply in love with each other. We lived this love through all aspects of our lives, and both of us were dedicated to the work that Yeshua was the leader for.
Today, as two thousand years ago, we are dedicated to supporting all humans in this process of upliftment and growth in God’s love and light. The form has evolved, but the calling and core is the same. I am devoted to being a kind of midwife at this time of the next phase of this Grand Plan, and thus I come to you with my messages in support of that.
I love you most fully and openheartedly.
I AM Mary Magdalene

MARY MAGDALENE: Going Beyond Right-Wrong Conditioning with Children
Image by Wappen Ilshofen
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On July 9, 2014
Question: In Mary Magdalene Beckons, Mary points out how we learn to blame others and that most of us learned we could receive love from our parents if we were “right,” but we would be denied love when we were “wrong.” As a parent of a young child, I would like to know if Mary has any tips for guiding one’s child and helping them learn how to listen, be respectful, make safe choices, be honest, etc. without conditioning them with “right vs. wrong.”
Mary Magdalene: Hello my dear one. Thank you for asking this question. I believe it is a most important one, which will benefit many.
Your question goes right to the heart of what underlies the third-dimensional consciousness. In the third dimension, there are a few primary assumptions or beliefs that support, and actually create, your reality. The third dimension has been described as a place of duality, where things tend to be viewed in terms of opposites. One of the most fundamental forms that duality takes in the third dimension is in the form of a moralistic judgment, which is often communicated as “good vs. bad,” “right vs. wrong,” “good vs. evil or sin,” etc. As with many things, there is a seed of truth in these ideas or ways of seeing reality. The truth that’s contained in it is that human beings are in a process of spiritual evolution in which they are growing and transforming so as to become more and more unified with God. It could be said that anything which brings you closer to God is “good” or “right” and anything which separates you from God is “bad” or “wrong.”
But you may notice those words, especially in their negative form of “bad,” “wrong,” evil,” or “sin,” carry a charge for most people. It is a charge that signifies that you are bad, wrong, evil, or sinful. It is the charge of shame, that there is something the matter with you, as opposed to simply viewing an action as something that separated you from God. And along with this shame, there also tends to be a sense that you may be punished, even if the punishment is simply being excluded or shunned (which actually is not simple or minor at all).
Most of this sense of shame and fear of punishment stems from childhood, where children were rewarded with love and affection if they did what their parents or caregivers wanted, along with being told at those times that they were good or were doing the right thing. At other times, children were punished for not doing what the parents wanted, and simultaneously told that they were bad or had done something wrong. This kind of training teaches individuals, from an extremely young and impressionable age, that doing what their parents (or caregivers) want is good or right and will bring them love, while doing what their caregivers don’t want is bad or wrong and will bring them punishment and exclusion from love.
There are several results from this. One is that you are teaching a child to submit to authority as a way of being loved. In so doing, you are setting the child up for a lifetime of focusing on pleasing others, rather than being connected to themselves and their own internal guidance. This is a great disservice to individual’s spiritual growth, as inner guidance is essential for spiritual development. It also creates societies where people are easily manipulated and disempowered, because they have been trained to give their power away to others, even to follow others rather blindly, in order to get their needs met.
Some parents have realized the problems in this system of raising children to be obedient and have chosen another path of letting the children make their own choices without parental influence. This is also a disadvantage to the child, because children need the help and guidance of adults to grow up strong, whole, and sensitive to themselves and others.
There is another way. To do this, a parent must become aware of a few things. The first is that you must release any clinging you have to the concepts of right vs. wrong and good vs. bad. You must realize that there is no such thing as absolute right or wrong, absolute good or bad. You may have been taught as a child that absolute or extrinsic good/bad and right/wrong existed, but it was simply a method your parents used to train you, very likely based in the training that they received. This training of right/wrong or good/bad was probably reinforced by religion, schooling, the legal system, the business world, and most of the structures in your world, which all have a vested interest in getting others to do what they want.
So you, as an adult and parent, must first give up the belief that things are good or bad, right or wrong, and that someone, or some group of people, really do know what is good/bad or right/wrong. In fact, those are just opinions, though they might be held by many people. There is no extrinsic good/bad or right/wrong. Those concepts are simply utilized to try to persuade others to do what someone wants.
Does giving up these concepts mean that people are free to do whatever they want? Yes, it does. In fact, people have always been free to do whatever they wanted, but most people have not realized this. They have been convinced to do what others want out of fear of being wrong or bad, and thus losing the love of others, as well as potentially having other punishments imposed.
However, being free to do whatever you want is not the same thing as saying there are no consequences to what you do. In fact, there are always consequences to whatever you do. There are consequences for yourself and often there are consequences for others. You live in an interdependent world, where most of what you do affects others.
When individuals stop being motivated on the basis of good/bad or right/wrong, they then have the possibility of being motivated by the reality of what the consequences of their actions are. This is true of adults, as well as children. If you are a parent, you can guide your child by helping them understand the consequences of their actions. And the best way to do this is without adding any blame or shame to your communications to the child.
Thus, if a young child says something that’s not true, instead of telling them that’s wrong or bad to “tell a lie,” begin by telling them your feelings. In this example, you might say that you feel disturbed. Follow that up with why you feel disturbed—perhaps because you want to trust the child. The “why” behind your feelings will always point to one of your inner divine quality that’s not fulfilled by what the child said or did. In this case, it’s the inner divine quality of trust.
Essentially, you’re teaching the child about the beautiful inner divine qualities that live inside of him or her. You’re doing this by helping them understand your own inner divine qualities, how precious they are to you, and how they’re affected by the actions of others. In this example, you’re valuing your own inner divine qualities of honesty and trust, and sharing your love of honesty and trust with your child.
In order to avoid having the child end up feeling some sense of shame, you must take it a step further. You must find out why the child chose to say what they said. Every action is always motivated by one or more of our inner divine qualities. What beautiful quality was the child trying to fulfill through this action? Were they wanting love? Emotional safety? Inclusion? Fun? Exploration? You must find out. Usually with a child, you must make a guess and then ask them if that’s right. You will know when you find the real motivation, the actual inner divine quality that was motivating the child, because the child’s light will grow brighter. And your heart will open to the child.
When you find out the inner divine quality that was motivating the child, affirm that that quality is a beautiful thing, something that you value, too. This will remove any sense of shame from the child’s choice. Then go on to help the child understand that the action they chose to fulfill that quality (perhaps telling an untruth to fulfill their inner divine quality of receiving love) wasn’t the best choice because there were other inner divine qualities it didn’t fulfill (your inner divine qualities of honesty and trust). Show them how they could have made other choices to fulfill their desire for love, such as asking for physical affection or attention.
Of course you won’t use the words “inner divine quality” with children, because that would be too abstract for them. You will put it in simple words, such as “Were you wanting love and attention?” or “That way of getting love was disturbing for me because I value honesty and being able to trust you.” Then you can end with suggestions for the future, such as “Next time, maybe you could whisper in my ear that you’re needing some love. How does that sound?”
In doing this, you’re raising children to be connected to themselves and their inner divinity, as well as others and the divinity of others. It is a great gift to children to receive this training at a young age. You will help them to become both loving and strong.
I hope this has been helpful to you. I value your caring for your child and your desire to raise him in the best way possible. It is a great gift to the whole earth to do so.
With fullest heart blessings,
I AM Mary Magdalene

MARY MAGDALENE: Helping a Young Man Transition Into Adulthood
Image by © Ljubo Gamulin 2011
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On May 13, 2014
Question: I have a son who is almost twenty years old. He’s becoming a man and right now there’s a bit of a separation in what he’s allowing me to do as his mother, and how close he’s allowing himself to be with me and to share with me. I would like to find out what I can do within myself to open a space that can bring more harmony, and more of an equality-based relationship as adults–instead of him feeling like I look at him as just a child, so we can have a better relationship.
Mary Magdalene: This is such an important transition that you are talking about. Just your awareness of it alone is a great blessing—to your son, especially, but also to you. I acknowledge you and honor you for this awareness that you are bringing.
This is such a critical moment in a young man’s life. He is separating from his childhood relationship to his mother. This will affect his future relationships with women as lovers and partners. So it is a very, very important transition, where he is allowed to sail on his own ship as a man. It is a transition that a man truly needs to make on his own. It is a rite of passage. It is wonderful if he has other men in his life who, first, can be role models for him and, second, who he can turn to if he needs support. Does he have this in his life?
Questioner: No, he doesn’t.
Mary Magdalene: This makes it more challenging.
What would be optimal at this point would be if there was a circle of men. It would be most optimal if they were spiritually aware, awake men who could take over guiding your son at this point, to the degree that he needs it, and could relieve you of feeling any remaining responsibility for guiding him into his autonomy as an adult. But if that is not the case, then what may be the best is to be very open with him in your communication. Explain to him your position. Explain that you feel a very important and wonderful transition is underway into him becoming an adult and an independent man, and that this will involve a change in your relationship with him. Explain that you’re celebrating this.
It would be very wonderful if you could find one or more ways to celebrate this, so that you actually made it into an outer transition, a rite of passage, in some form or other. It could be something as simple as a gift that you give or something more elaborate. If he’s open to some kind of ceremony, that would be wonderful, but he may not be open to that. It could be something like a trip that you take together. Make it something outer, where you actually mark this transition. That would be very wonderful.
Be open with him that you would like to transition into a new kind of relationship with him. Describe the relationship that you would like to have with him and also be honest about any reservations that you have. For example, tell him if there are some areas where you feel that he still needs further guidance, in a parental kind of role, and affirm that you want him to have that guidance. Consider together with him what would be the best way for him to receive that support that would satisfy both of you—satisfying his needs for autonomy, freedom, and independence and also satisfying your needs for feeling in integrity as his parent that you are providing the support that he needs for his highest good (to the best of your ability). That support does not necessarily have to come from you, but you need to see to it that it is provided in some form or other.
Does it feel like that would be a process that would work between you and your son?
Questioner: Yes. I just have to do it in a gentle way because he has resistance right now to me offering any kind of guidance. We’re doing better right now and we are taking a trip to a place where he’s more considered an adult. So I think that’s positive. Just talking to him as you’ve described, I can integrate that into our conversation.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. First of all celebrate, always celebrate. Acknowledge ways that you see him being responsible, capable, competent, making choices that you are so happy about. To really acknowledge those is very important, because part of his reactivity is his own insecurity. It may not appear that way when you’re on the receiving end in the moment, but he’s actually really needing support and reassurance, and partly giving that to himself in a kind of over-reactive way by taking the stance that he doesn’t need any help. So definitely acknowledge him.
Then acknowledge your needs, which are places that you still feel concerned, or nervous, or whatever. You need reassurance and you’re asking for his help to give you reassurance. Then give ideas of how you could get that reassurance. For example, you might say, “One way is if we talk about things together and you told me how you were going to handle it, and asked me if I felt comfortable with that—not because I’m going to tell you how to do it but because it will really help me. I need to know that you’re taking everything into account that I can see, and if you’re not that we can talk about it.” So you’re phrasing it in a way that you’re asking for his help to go through this transition, which is for both of you. He’s transitioning into being an autonomous, independent male. And you’re transitioning into letting go of the role of overseeing him and being able to trust and release him into the world as his own being. So you’re asking for his help in your transition that you’re making. This is what would be really valuable. Does that make sense?
Questioner: Yes. And he’s very sensitive so he would consider that as something that was important. So that’s a good way to do it. Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. And then you can suggest that you want to relate more as equals. You want to be able to put both your ideas on the table and come up with solutions that handle all the different aspects that are involved for both of you. So you’re not saying that you want to be in charge, but you’re not saying to him, “I bless you to do whatever you want and forget about me.” You’re suggesting, “Let’s create a new dynamic during this transition where we’re co-creating. That’s part of the transition toward you moving into creating your own life and me feeling totally at peace with that, so that I feel ready to let go and release you to that.” How does that sound?
Questioner: Good. That makes sense. I can do that.
Mary Magdalene: Wonderful. This will help him as he inevitably moves into being an autonomous, independent man, and then starts to open into relating to women from that position. This will create a trust for him in his future relationships with women, where he will start to learn how to co-create with a partner, rather than being distrustful and it being a potentially conflictual dynamic. This is what all people need as they move into adulthood and what so many didn’t receive. For men in particular, this is their challenge because many felt like they had to push away from their mother and escape in some ways. When they come to relating to a partner, to a woman, they’re still carrying that old imprint and they have trouble opening up to intimacy, trust, and co-creativity with a woman as an adult. So this will help him tremendously in his future relationships.
Questioner: Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: Thank you for your caring and your consciousness as you move through this transition with your son.
Questioner: I hope that I can do the best, from a different place than I would have a few years ago.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. Express that to your son, just in those kinds of ways. He will feel your heart.
Questioner: OK.

MARY MAGDALENE: Responding to Pain
Image by McKay Savage, London, UK
An Excerpt From Mary Magdalene Beckons
By Mercedes Kirkel
Dear one,
Today I will talk to you of pain. It is something I know much about. Many of you are very confused about pain and how to respond to it. You’re even confused about why there is pain. So I would like to clarify this.
Your pain is given to you to help you grow. Do you believe this? It is a difficult medicine. The pain is actually the medicine. When you have pain, it is telling you that there is some way that you have closed off from God. If you only seek to make the pain go away, then you will not receive the help you are being given for you to change, heal, and grow. Most of your responses to pain are about making it go away—taking a medicine or drug, numbing yourself with distractions, diverting yourself by blaming others or some situation, or trying to “fix” it so that you don’t have to feel the pain.
It’s not that you have to stay in the pain. But if you just try to get rid of the pain, you won’t receive the benefit. So there is another way.
When you are in pain, you must turn to God. That is, for many of you, a hard thing to do. You think that the pain is proof that God has deserted you. In fact, God is calling to you through the pain. God loves you and wants to help you, and pain is one avenue.
So, when you feel pain, turn to God. You may need a spiritual friend to help you in that moment if it is too hard for you to turn in the midst of pain. It is a good time to call on your strongest spiritual friend who will help you turn to God.
However you do it, through prayer or asking for help from another or meditating, turn to God first. Ask God to help you. Ask all your angels, Spirit helpers, and beings of light you’re connected to, to help you. Ask them to work with the situation. Ask them to connect with the Christ consciousness of the other people involved and to help you connect with Christ consciousness. Ask your Spirit helpers to connect with the Spirit helpers of any other beings involved. Ask for the highest outcome for all involved. Ask that, “Thy will be done,” which is a way of inviting the highest beings to be involved for the good of all. Ask that Christ consciousness be infused into the situation and that it alter the events in whatever way is for the best for all. Ask until you feel yourself let go. That is surrender. You will know it because you come to peace.
Ask to be guided as to what you should do. Then your actions will come from your connection to Christ consciousness, from your surrender and peace. You may do things you would never have thought of otherwise because your creativity has been opened up through your connection to Source. You are being infused with higher ideas. You might be guided to do what you would have done before you turned to God, but you will be doing it from a different place, from a place of peace and surrender.
Do this as often as you need to when you are in pain—physical pain or emotional pain. You might feel the surrender and peace for a while and then slip back into your old way of thinking—fearing the pain and worrying about what’s going to happen, perhaps feeling angry about what you think are the causes of the pain, maybe even angry about life or angry at God. “It’s not fair. Why me? What did I do to deserve this?” And so on. All of that is a sign that you’ve slipped back into your little mind, where you’re not connected to God. Then you need to take another step: go back to prayer, to meditation, to asking for help from someone stronger in that moment, to asking for help from God.
Asking is so important. We respect your free will. Even though we want to help you, we will not step in until you ask. We ask the same of you with others. Respect their free will. This can be difficult if you perceive that they are in pain and you want to help them. Or perhaps you judge that they’re doing things wrong, that they should be doing things differently, and that you should correct them or step in and change things for them, tell them what to do. You do not know what the divine plan for them is. You might be interfering with a grand opportunity that they are receiving. It is essential that you respect their free choice.
Of course, if you are a parent, you are in a position of making decisions for your children, but only to the point that they are not capable. It is very important that you be aware of what they are capable of deciding and respect their choices in these arenas. As they grow, allow them to participate more and more in making choices with you, guiding them in learning how to make choices that are for the best for all. And as you see them capable of making their own choices, allow them to do so.
Free choice is a divine attribute that you on Earth have been given, and respecting it is part of being aligned to the Divine. If you think someone is hurting you or someone else, first turn to prayer, asking the beings of light to shift the scenario for the highest good of all. Ask them to work with the beings of light that are connected to all involved. Ask them to guide you and everyone else to be in alignment with Christ consciousness. When your heart is open and you have come to peace, then you can wait to receive guidance on what you should do. You will know it is guidance if it sustains your peace and keeps your heart open.
You are not alone. You are never alone. This is the greatest challenge for human beings to learn. It is the challenge of having been born as a seemingly separate individual. We are here with you always. Just call upon us, and we are here. We are powerful and we are for your highest good.
I love you, and my heart is with you.
I AM Mary Magdalene
