MARY MAGDALENE: Your Life Reflects Your Spirituality
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I think it’s very helpful to be practical in my spirituality. Can you talk about that?
Mary Magdalene: What does that mean to you, to be practical in your spirituality?
Questioner: That the life I am living reflects my spirituality.
Mary Magdalene: Yes, I very much agree. Your life reflects your spirituality and it is also the great opportunity of your spirituality.
You are being given an immense gift to be physically incarnated. There are many beings who long for this opportunity. You have the opportunity for tremendous growth, which is so much more difficult to achieve without physical embodiment. This is an amazing gift, yet it also comes with challenges, most definitely. This is not an easy place. It is potentially a place of great suffering, as well as great joy. But I absolutely agree that each one’s life here is a complete reflection of your spirituality.
The amazing part is that you are all having very different experiences of reality, yet most of the time you think everyone is having the same experience you are! (Mary laughs.) That is part of the amazingness of this realm. And it all works together. It all fits. Many of you have the idea of how phenomenal the human body is, how many parts there are that are interacting and working together for an unbelievable number of functions and activities to sustain human life. Yet that is the tiniest microcosm of what’s happening in your world, on the Earth, in the third dimension, not to mention other places in the third dimension and other dimensions. It is absolutely incredible.
There’s a very, very big picture to all of this, very big. But there’s also a very small picture, you might say (Mary laughs). Not really small, but it might seem so in relation to the big picture. In this “small picture,” exactly what’s happening in each person’s life is very much a reflection of their spirituality—or in even more practical terms, it’s a reflection of their creation.
Spirituality can be a rather nebulous thing, partly because it means different things to different people. Some describe it as manifesting love and light. I would agree with that. I would also say there are steps and stages. This is really what the dimensions are, steps and stages. There is a certain stage that most of you are experiencing at the third dimension. Looking at your life and the practical nature of your life is a very excellent way of coming to clarity about the spiritual process, particularly in this dimension. That is, I would agree, very practical. I lean towards the Feminine and the Feminine tends to be very practical.
Does that answer your question?
Questioner: Yes.

MARY MAGDALENE: Experiencing Higher Dimensions
Light_Rays_By ╚ DD╔ from Male, Maldives
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: Throughout my life I’ve had wondrous experiences that lasted from a few seconds to three-and-a-half days. I call them my “real life” experiences. Since you talk about dimensions, maybe I have to look at it as if I lived in those moments in another dimension.
Mary Magdalene: Yes.
Questioner: How I explain it is that I saw the building blocks of the universe in everything and it was pure oneness, pure love, pure God. I also ask, “So what? What do I do with that?”
Mary Magdalene: It does sound like you were experiencing higher dimensions. Those kinds of experiences can be gifts. They can be given as a window, a taste, to support what you might call inspiration for further growth. If they do not last it is a sign that there is more foundational work to do for those to become your ground of being, what you might call your default home. At some point that will be your ongoing reality, just as what most people call the third dimension is the ongoing reality of most beings on the Earth at this time.
But there are very clear foundational and progressive steps that are necessary for that to become an ongoing reality. It is why I talk about emotions so much, because for many people that is one of the steps that they have not fulfilled. Many people may not even have barely begun. There are other foundational steps, as well.
In your world, healing shame is a big one. Many people who are quite developed in the spiritual process have not yet dealt with what is arising as shame in their experience. Most often it is shame relative to their physical body or shame relative to sexuality. This may seem quite humble. It may even seem to some people as unspiritual. But as I said before, every experience you are having is your ongoing creation. The next step for most human beings is to realize that you are always creating your reality, and the one you are currently creating is the one that is perfect for your next steps of growth.
So while some people would prefer to have more blissful experiences as the focus of their spiritual life, in fact that is not what is really required for their growth. What is required for your growth—for each of you—is exactly what is manifesting in your life, because that is what you are creating. And I say that with great love and respect. I do not say that as trying to make you feel lesser or somehow put down. It is simply the way this reality works. Coming to that can seem difficult or painful or somehow disheartening, if people are in resistance to it.
The idea that this world is not a spiritual place is a suppression of the Feminine. The Feminine is all of manifestation, which very much includes this world. The Feminine is just as divine as the Masculine. So your divinity is not somewhere else. Actually, it is both somewhere else and also completely here. That understanding and realization is the uniting of the Masculine and Feminine, which many people are moving toward. An essential step of it is the complete embrace of your experience and yourself as absolutely God, even in your current state. Even coming to that idea can be a great step of growth.
This world and your current experience is not exclusively God, but the subtle or the transcendent is not exclusively God either. It is the embrace of the entire possibility that is All God. I hope that is helpful.
Questioner: Thank you. Yes.

MARY MAGDALENE: Past-Life Healing
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I’d like to ask about cleansing processes and how to go about that? I’ve had spontaneous past-life memories coming up that were related to important events that were not dealt with in other lives.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. This is the importance of past-life work. It is for healing anything that may be holding you back in the present.
Sometimes people have curiosity about past lives, wondering “Who was I in other lives previously?” There is a certain naturalness to this for human beings. It perhaps is not supportive if it becomes a fascination, something that’s puffing you up with importance based on your past life.
It also isn’t supportive if it’s distracting you into somewhat of a fantasy life about the past. Even though it may have been quite real, your relationship to it in this lifetime can become a similar thing to imaginal paths. I do not particularly suggest that.
But in fact, past lives are real in a certain sense—as much as anything is real—and they can be affecting you.
You are all on a soul journey. You are continuing from lifetime to lifetime. Some people in your world have the idea that they came from nothing into this life and will return to nothing at the end of life. I do not agree with this point of view. My experience is that you very much continue from one lifetime to the next, and that it is a pathway of soul growth and soul learning. Your experiences from a past lifetime can be continued and carried over if they were not complete.
Perhaps the learning was not complete. Perhaps the reaction to what occurred was not complete, was not let go of, and is still being held onto at the soul level. These things can be a block to your growth and your completion of your soul work in that particular aspect. Doing past-life work, including past-life remembering if necessary, can be valuable towards completing those lessons or completing healing from the experiences.
Oftentimes when you have past-life memories coming up, your soul is calling it forth. Prior to that time, your soul determined that it would not benefit you to remember it. But now the soul is determining that you are at a place where you are perhaps prepared and ready to complete those past experiences, or at least open to them in some form or other, and that this would be of benefit to you. This is most often the reason people have past-life memories come up. It is because it is valuable for their next steps of spiritual growth.
There is an absolute wonder and almost unfathomable perfection to the experiences of your life. In part experiences are orchestrated by your soul. In part they are orchestrated by your helpers at many levels—including your guides, your higher self, and for most of you, your helpers in the fourth dimension who supported you in choosing this particular incarnation this time. There are many beings affecting and supporting each one of you to have the perfection of experience that you are having moment-to-moment, which is exactly what you need for your growth and development. This includes things like having past-life memories. If that is occurring, that is because it is exactly what you require in some form or other. But this is not limited to past-life memories.
Every experience that you’re having moment-to-moment is equally perfect for what you, as a soul, need. I imagine that some of you may not trust this. I also imagine that some of you—even if you do believe this or trust it—may forget it at times, especially if you are having challenging experiences. This is often the time when human beings fall into doubt and separation from God, forgetting the divinity of their moment-to-moment experience.
This separation is the essence of what you are growing beyond in the third dimension. Your experiences are often different aspects of separation that your soul has chosen to experience, master, and grow beyond. This can include past-life experiences, as well as all of your present-life experiences. If your past-life experience is coming up for you, it then becomes a present-time experience as well, at least in the form that it is coming up. Whatever you are being given is exactly the perfect form for your growth and your development in the now-moment of your spiritual path.
Questioner: I get a lot of past memories about being killed for being spiritual. It brings up a lot of fear about being open with my spirituality. I have this sense that people will come after me if I do.
Mary Magdalene: You are not alone. It is a sad truth that in your world, many have been killed for many reasons, and one of the reasons has been spiritual engagement. This is one of the most painful aspects of your world and the third dimension altogether. In this great exploration of power and physicality, one of the options that has been explored is using power to take life from others. This has had grave consequences, including an imprint of fear around practicing spirituality for those who have experienced this kind of torture and violence directed at them.
What this says to me is that you are now ready to face what happened with you, which is still with you, and to go all the way through the experience—the pain, the suffering—to the part of your divinity that you disconnected from in that experience. This may very well have been safety, on all levels. You are now ready to heal and to know the true source of your safety, which is in God.
This is not to say that you never suffered. It’s not to say that your suffering is unreal or that if you were really connected to God you would not have suffered in the past. Rather, actual damage was done and there’s a place in you that disconnected from God as a result of that experience. You are now ready to heal that in a very profound way within yourself, and through that healing to fully reconnect with your true divine nature.
There will be healing in that. This is not a belief, or a hope, or a wish. This is about your reconnection with God. When you heal in the particular way that you separated from God because of these experiences, then the next steps of your healing will become clear. You will be clearly guided.
Healing your separation from God is the pivotal, essential place of healing that must occur as the foundation and source. Then all else will be given from there.
Questioner: Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

7 Signs of Completing the Third Dimension
By Mercedes Kirkel
Ever since I began receiving channeled messages from Mary Magdalene and Yeshua (Jesus), they’ve been talking about our spiritual growth into the higher dimensions. They say that humanity is in a process of completing our work at the third dimension and beginning to shift into the next dimension of consciousness, which they refer to as the fourth dimension.
Part of what they describe is that each dimension has a particular focus of growth, which beings who manifest in that dimension are working on mastering. You might look at it as a kind of school. When we learn our lessons and receive the growth that particular dimension offers, we then “graduate” to the next dimension.
In the third dimension, the focus is on learning lessons relative to power. If you were to describe the third dimension through the lens of power, the purpose of life would be to acquire enough power to survive and thrive. Power can be in the form of money, status, knowledge, or authority. Part of 3D is that there’s a sense that there isn’t “enough” for everyone. Thus you have to struggle and fight to gain and maintain power. This leads to competing with others and exercising “power over” each other.
Our relationship to power dramatically changes as we complete our lessons and “work” in the third dimension. Here are the signs I’ve learned from Mary Magdalene and Yeshua of this completion relative to 3D:
1) You stop giving your power away to outside authority. You stop thinking there are others outside yourself who know more about you than you do. You stop consulting others to see what you should do or letting others make decisions for you. You assume your own authority relative to yourself and what’s right or true for you, whether others agree with you or not. And you honor everyone else’s authority to do the same relative to themselves.
You can still learn from others who have more skill or knowledge than you, but you don’t give your power away to them. You can still consider others’ points of view or ask others’ opinion when you’re in the process of coming to clarity. But you’re in charge of you and your decisions.
The exception is if you’re a parent or the caretaker for someone who’s mentally incompetent, because they aren’t capable of being their own authority and need your support. With children, your job is to progressively prepare them to be their own authority in a responsible way, which optimally fulfills itself in the later teenage years.
2) You stop thinking of life as a battle that you have to win in order to survive. You stop seeing death as having “lost the fight.” You stop dealing with situations or problems by overpowering them. You see situations and circumstances as working with you, rather than opposing you. You trust life as supporting you and relate to death in trust, as well.
3) You don’t enjoy winning if others are losing. Cooperation and collaboration with others become more attractive than competing. You look for solutions that support everyone, rather than supporting some at the expense of others. Life becomes about “me and you,” rather than “me versus you.”
4) You stop believing there’s a set of rules for life that applies to everyone, and which proclaim what’s right or wrong, good or bad, or acceptable or not acceptable. Instead, you discern whether the events of life are supporting or not supporting your values and the way you want to live. These discernments are personal. They’re about you and how you want to live, rather than being absolute truths “out there” that everyone is supposed to adhere to.
5) You stop being guided by your thinking and start being guided by your heart and feeling. The brain is like a computer. It’s a marvelous tool for coming up with infinite possibilities, but it’s not good at making choices. That choosing is better handled by our heart and feelings, supported by our thinking.
6) You stop relating to yourself and others as victims. You don’t see life as randomly happening to you and that you’re just at the effect of outside forces. You no longer blame others or your circumstance for what’s happening to you. You see that you always have choice and are operating from choice. Some of your choices may have been made in previous lives or at the soul level prior to incarnating in this life, and you may not consciously remember making those choices. But you consistently come from the place of assuming your own free will and taking responsibility for your circumstances.
7) You stop acting out of duty or should’s or have-to’s. Instead you act out of joy and passion. You discover that life works better when you operate out of joy and passion than out of duty and obligation. Plus it’s a lot more fulfilling and enjoyable. You relate to life as a creative adventure and you have fun doing so!
What I love about Yeshua and Mary Magdalene is that they’re endlessly devoted to helping people make these shifts in their consciousness and practical life.

MARY MAGDALENE AND YESHUA: Dealing With a Non-Physical Being
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Mary Magdalene: Hello beloveds. This is Mary Magdalene and I am here with Yeshua. We are both very happy to be with you tonight. We thank you so much for gathering, for calling upon us. We thank you for your openness. We thank you for your energy. We thank you for your great interest in growth, in opening to what is before you in your process, both as individuals and as human beings developing spirituality, bringing spirituality into your world, and manifesting your destiny as spiritual beings incarnated as human beings. Thank you so much to all of you. It is our honor to be with you tonight.
We would like to hear from you. We would like to know how we may help and support you. We would like to know what it is that you would specifically like help with. And so, we open to your questions. If there is anyone who would like to ask questions of us, please speak now.
Question: Some years ago, when I was asleep in my bed, I heard a voice call my name. Then I felt a hand on my belly and I got scared. I told it, “Go away, I don’t want this,” and it disappeared. About four weeks later it came back and it has kept returning since.
I don’t know who it is and what it’s purpose is, so I got scared. I asked my guardian angel, “Please will you protect me at night and send away whoever it is, because it scares me.”
Mary Magdalene: What is your question about this?
Questioner: My question is, can I allow this being to come to me and talk to me, or do I have to tell it to go away? I want to sleep and I’m scared.
Mary Magdalene: Are you wondering if it’s safe to open to this being?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: This is a very important discernment to make and it is very valuable that you are asking about this.
The first thing to know is that you are in choice. Many humans, especially in the third dimension, don’t realize this and they are actually opening themselves to other beings without realizing that they have choice, whether to open to them or not. But you do have choice.
You may have to learn how to exercise that choice one way or the other. For example, some people need to learn how to open, if they wish to open. Others are opening without realizing they have choice. They may have to learn how to say “no” and not allow beings to come into their space, energetically or physically. They may need to learn that they also have that choice. So it can happen in both directions. The first learning for many humans is simply to realize that you do have choice. That, in and of itself, is a very important learning.
There are a few things I can offer, which I have hope will be supportive for you. One is that in most circumstances, your greatest gauge of another being is what you experience, and specifically what you experience relative to the two qualities of light and love. If you experience that another being is increasing your experience of light and/or love, that is an indication that that being is for your good and for your benefit. If you experience a diminishment in your own, you might say, quantity of love or light when you are experiencing another being in your field, then that is an indication that that being is not for your highest good. In that case, I would not recommend opening to that being.
It is actually the same whether beings are physically incarnated or not. When you have interactions with other human beings who are physically incarnated, this is the same measure. Is the contact you are having with those beings increasing your experience of light and love or decreasing it? That is, in general, what I would say is the most valuable measure of whether it is for your benefit or not to engage with those beings.
It is very much the same with a being who is not perhaps physically manifest, but is energetically manifest. So one thing I would recommend is for you to actually become aware of whether you’re experiencing an increase or decrease of light and love in the company of the being in question. Perhaps you already are aware of this.
Do you have a sense of whether this particular being who seems to be contacting you is increasing your experience of light or love or decreasing it?
Questioner: I think decreasing. I don’t feel comfortable when I hear that voice and the touch. I am careful about my space. I can hug people I love, but with other people I feel “don’t come in my space.” And with this being at night, I get scared all the time.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. Your fear is an indication that your being is saying “No.” I would encourage you to follow through with making it clear to this being that your space is not available—not only the space of your body, but I would include the space of your bedroom, your bed, and your entire home. And there are steps you can take to support this.
You can purify your home. You can use elements such as sage, which is very clearing and tends to bring very good frequency to a space. It also tends to be one that beings of a lower frequency don’t enjoy and don’t tend to want to be around.
You can learn techniques for strengthening your support system, even when you’re asleep or close to sleep.
It would also be valuable for you to work with your fear. This is a challenge, because the fear is indicating that you have a “No” and that you do not wish the being to be there. But if you are not clear how to make use of that fear, to take the fear all the way into its source in your divinity with God, then the fear itself weakens you and tends to make you more vulnerable to outside entities. Lower frequency entities are actually attracted to the frequency of fear. So it would be very much to your advantage to learn how to work with your fear.
I am not meaning that you should get rid of the fear. I suggest the process that I communicated about in the messages recorded in the book Mary Magdalene Beckons. This is a different process relative to fear, one that uses the fear to take you into your God-source. When that happens, it takes you into your strength and you will become strong. Then you will be able to bring the strength of your divinity into the situation.
The strongest thing there is is love and light. And the greatest thing you can bring to a lower-frequency being is love and light. This is not a sugarcoated kind of love and light. This is a very strong love and light. It not only brings you your strength, it also brings strength to this other being. Perhaps that is part of your spiritual process, to bring the strength of your love and light to this being.
Questioner: Yes, okay. Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

MARY MAGDALENE: The Feminine Path of Peace
Image by Jean-Pierre Dalbéra
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I have a question that many women of my age have. We have challenges because we have children and a family, and we want to work and explore ourselves professionally. I also want to live by my heart, but I find it hard because there are so many challenges, so many balls to keep in the air. So I lose track of my heart. How can we live the lives that we live at this time, in this third-dimension and society? How can we keep our strength as a woman from our heart and do the things we want to do, because it’s so much sometimes?
Mary Magdalene: This may be hard to hear. Whenever someone is in this kind of a situation, there is most likely some way that you are not really in touch with yourself. It might be some aspect of your life you’re not wanting to look at and own, because you’re afraid it might lead you to choices that you don’t want to make.
For example, perhaps you have children and you’re finding that you’re not happy with your life with your children, in some ways or aspects. Maybe there are aspects that you’re very happy with, and some aspects you’re not. And you find yourself longing for these other things, which you seem to not have time or energy or money for, or whatever feels like the limit.
Probably there’s something going on relative to your life with your children that you’re not really facing. If you were, you wouldn’t be in conflict. It would become very clear what you’re choosing and what you want to be choosing. Usually when there’s a sense of “too much”—too many obligations, too many things that you want and you can’t do them all—there’s something that you’re running away from.
If you were to stop running away from that, it would pull out the pin that’s holding the whole conflict in place. It would lead you somewhere different. It would lead you to peace and single-mindedness. Not single-mindedness in the sense that you’re going to choose only one thing, but single-mindedness in the sense that you’re not torn within yourself, or not feeling like you’re in an impossible situation that can’t work out somehow or other. You would be at peace. And you would have clarity about how to act in life based on that peace. That peace would guide you in making your choices, as opposed to running after something that seems to be escaping you right now.
This is the emotional pathway. This is the heart pathway. What you are calling “following your heart” does not sound to me like following your heart. It sounds to me like there’s avoidance going on. You’re saying that other things are your heart and that they seem unattainable. But focusing on what seems unattainable is keeping you from seeing the avoidance. And that seeing of the avoidance is what would actually lead directly to your heart. Of course, I don’t know the specifics and maybe I am inaccurate in what I am saying. But this is my guess.
Your mind is a marvelous machine. But it also has the ability to tie you in knots, like a string of yarn that can seem hopeless to find your way out. If you are looking to your mind to solve the problem, this is where it will lead.
This is why I recommend the path of following emotions and the body. Emotions and the body are incredibly honest, and also tend to be incredibly tenacious. Until you actually listen to them, they tend to not let go. (Mary laughs.) Until they’ve done their job, they’re very committed to getting your attention. They persist until you listen to where they’re really trying to direct you, which might be quite different than the path that your mind wants to go on.
Again, without a fuller explanation, which I would suggest might be best done in a one-on-one situation, I can’t tell you exactly what is going on. But I absolutely trust that your emotions and your body are already guiding you to the solution you desire, if you understood how to listen and how to follow that help.
I am not confident that that was helpful.
Questioner: Not directly but I do think it’s helpful. I won’t have a solution tomorrow.
Mary Magdalene: You could have a solution in this minute.
Questioner: No, no, it’s not possible. But I understand I have to look at a different way. It’s hard for me to keep my head quiet so it’s good to learn, I guess.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. Many teachings have suggested that the way is to quiet your mind. For some that is effective. For some it is not effective, and tends to lead to a feeling of greater frustration. Not only do you have the original problem, now you have the problem of trying to quiet your mind on top of it. (Mary laughs.)
For those in particular, I recommend this other pathway. And yes, you may not be able to access it in this moment, because you have not learned the pathway. But if you had access to that pathway through knowing it yourself, or through support of someone else who knew it, I absolutely believe you could be guided, within a half an hour or less, to the solution you desire. And it might be a great surprise what that is.
Questioner: Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: You’re welcome.
The path of quieting the mind is part of the more Masculine-oriented path. For those who have natural affinity with the Masculine and find it more natural to engage, this can be a very valuable path. For those who don’t have that affinity, or don’t find it naturally accessible to them, this sadly has led to many people feeling that they aren’t spiritual, or perhaps they aren’t competent at all. That is not actually the case. It is just that their pathway is a different pathway.
For those types of people, or people who for whatever reason find themselves operating out of the Feminine in a particular time or moment or situation, this other pathway can be exceedingly supportive. It is the more Feminine pathway.
For most people at this time, the Feminine pathway is the less familiar pathway, because you haven’t had access to developing that Feminine path. Even in your teachings which have promoted the Feminine, there often has not been this kind of clear path of practice. So at some times you may feel a strong connection to the Feminine and you may feel your Feminine power or strength supporting you, while at other times it may feel like you can’t access your Feminine power or it fades away. That is when practice of some sort—a very practical, pragmatic, even step-by-step practice—is extremely valuable. And it’s also when support by others can become very valuable.
Questioner: I’d like to thank you for the time you took to guide us in this way. It’s profound. I thank you very much.
Mary Magdalene: You are very welcome. I do want to reinforce that Yeshua has been here the whole time and is very much here right now. We hold you all in greatest light and love.
Thank you, beloveds. We leave you for now, in this form, but are always available. Blessings dear ones.

MARY MAGDALENE: Identifying With Others
Melisenta by Josephine Wall, www.josephinewall.com.uk
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: A while ago I was in a group of spiritually minded people and I had a feeling of loss of identity, like I was skipping between persons. One moment I would feel like one person; in another moment I would feel like another person. It felt like I was tuning into the group energy. Is that what you are talking about in describing the fourth dimension?
Mary Magdalene: It’s an aspect.
It may be that you are opening to a certain kind of connection, awareness, and fluidity in your consciousness. And it may be that there’s another aspect that is not quite in balance, not quite as fully developed, because you don’t need to lose yourself. In the full experience there’s a sense of expansion of yourself, to include all.
So it may have been a kind of opening, but not a full opening. Your experience may feed you in a certain way, which will very likely lead somewhere else that will be more inclusive of your connection to yourself, and more inclusive of your having choice in the midst of your experience.
You are always in choice. It is not the case that you are simply at the effect of your experience. This is a fourth-dimensional learning.
The fourth-dimension is very much like the realm of dreams. This is a good way of understanding this because you are familiar with dreams and understand them.
Part of what you’re developing in the fourth dimension is your ability to manifest. That begins with realizing you are always in choice. Dreams can feel like things are happening to you and that you are kind of blown around by the winds of who knows what in a dream. But that is what you might call an “entry-level” experience [Mary laughs]. Eventually you develop strength and skill, where you are at choice about your manifestation, just as you are at choice about your manifestation in the third-dimension. But that may not yet be obvious.
Questioner: It feels like I am opening up to a certain level of sensitivity that I am not used to.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. It does sound that way to me, as well. And those things can be uncomfortable. They are unfamiliar. And sometimes the discomfort is telling you that that particular form, or the way it’s showing up, doesn’t include everything you need. It can be guiding you to other parts to develop and strengthen, which will be more of what you need in a holistic way.

MARY MAGDALENE: Overcoming Sexual Challenges
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I’d like help with sexuality and the hurt that has arisen between my partner and me in that area. I would love to bypass the traditional orgasm and to come to a different place. There is a deep knowing in me where I know this can be different. But I feel very stuck. I’d like insight, clarity, and help.
Mary Magdalene: I thank you for your question. It sounds to me that there are a number of different things going on. One is that you have a kind of a conflict within yourself between your drive or attraction toward more conventional sexual engagement and your desire and understanding of a different way—perhaps you might look at it as a higher or more sacred way—to engage sexually. Is that one aspect?
Questioner: That’s one aspect, yes.
Mary Magdalene: Another aspect involves a kind of a conflict between you and your partner around engaging this?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: I wish I had an easier solution for you. My truth is that you must each, as individuals, be guided to what is true for you. There is a way of doing this through open-heartedness and staying in love with each other. It does not necessarily mean that you will have the outcome you are hoping for or the outcome you are dreading, either one. There are actually many, many ways it could play out. But you won’t know that until you give yourself to God.
You see, this hasn’t come up randomly in your life or in your relationship. This is likely a very central part of your soul path that you have both chosen in this lifetime for your growth. Humans suffer the most when they are avoiding their soul path.
There are different ways to explore sacred sexuality with a partner. One of the challenges that partners can get into with sacred sexuality is thinking that it’s black or white: “We have to do it all one way or all another way.” This black or white kind of thinking is one of the traps of the third dimension. And it’s almost never the case.
In fact, as you grow and develop, sexuality is something that you are going to more and more be the creator of. You are going to be creating what your form of sexuality will be like. You will do this with yourself, first and foremost, and then with whatever partners you choose. And it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s sexuality, whatever they call it—sacred, profane, who knows? You are the creator of what is possible and most suitable for you. And then, with a partner it becomes a joint creative venture.
Within that context you may choose to explore certain things. One option is to read books about sacred sexuality. But that is not your only avenue. There are people who can teach and coach you. There are courses and workshops. This does not mean, again, that you should be doing what’s being presented or that this is what you’re signing up to do. It can be an open-ended exploration and from there you become the creators of your life.
Very likely there are emotional blocks underlying this issue that may not be obvious or clear. If you were to get to the root of the emotional blocks and see what they were trying to draw you to, there very likely could be worlds of possibility that would open up to you, which you are not in touch with at this point.
I would urge you to look at this as not just a struggle in the sexual or relational arena, but as something very central to your spiritual path in this lifetime. If the word “spiritual” doesn’t resonate, you could just say “human” path or your “growth” path. It’s something that you’re both wanting to deal with in some way and I would definitely say both. It may be different for each of you, but somehow each of your parts fits with the other person’s particular exploration.
That may help you to loosen some of the stuckness, which includes thinking there are only three solutions: One is to go back to the way you were, one is to change to the new form of sacred sexuality (whatever you’re thinking that is), and the third is to separate.
From my point of view there are many more possible solutions. I don’t know what the solutions are in your particular case but I know the mechanics of these processes. The way that you are describing it now is what it looks like when you’re not dealing with the deeper issues. Your emotions will lead you to the deeper issues, if you allow them. And that is what I recommend.
I believe there is a different avenue than the one that seems to be at play, or the one that seems to be the context in which you’re holding this. Those different avenues are what the emotions will guide you to. And it might be quite surprising where that leads you.
I very much trust that your emotions will guide you to your guidance, each of you. Ultimately, they will guide you together to find your way through this, if you allow yourself to receive their guidance. And you will also receive the gifts of this circumstance, which I have no doubt are there.
This is all I feel called to say at this point
Questioner’s Partner: This was helpful but a question keeps popping up. Is this relationship beneficial to our greatest good—towards each other, and ourselves, and the people around us? Or are we in a kind of jail of fear?
Mary Magdalene: I would guess that you have hit a wall of fear around this issue. It is your choice if you want to make use of that fear or avoid it. From my perspective, if you avoid it, it is not beneficial to you, or each other, or other people that you are affecting. If you choose to let in the help that’s being offered in the form of this fear, I have no doubt that it will be helpful to you, each other, and others affected by you. But you may need help in doing that. It may not be clear how to do that.
This is so often the case in the third-dimension. We use the example of Mercedes, who is very highly trained in this process and very skilled at helping others with this. And yet [Mary laughs] when Mercedes hits her challenges and places of fear, it is very difficult for her, also.
This is part of the great human quality, that you really require each other in a very fundamental way. You could get through this entirely on your own. But it’s likely that you will go through it much more quickly and easily with the help of others. And it is challenging to do on your own.
It is like the story or joke that some of you may know about the difference between heaven and hell, where in hell the beings are starving because they can only eat with implements that are longer than their arms. In heaven, they have the same implements but they have figured out that they need to feed each other. [Mary laughs.]
I see this as a joke. I don’t have this as a belief about heaven and hell, or even beliefs about heaven and hell altogether. But it is a very good analogy for one of the differences between the third and the fourth dimension. Help from others is at times exceedingly valuable. This may be one of those times, especially when you’re dealing with core issues, which I would call your soul issues. These are the issues that you especially came to work on in this lifetime.
In the third dimension, when you come up against those issues (which you might call being triggered or having a button pushed), suddenly there’s this fog and you can’t see things. You seem to lose the competence and clarity you may have at other times. This is when it can be extremely helpful to have the support of others.
Part of the transition into higher dimensions is that eventually you will move into less identification with being a separate individual. You will more and more have a sense of being a part of something greater, including a connection with other beings that becomes your identity. Over time it will become natural to relate to life in a more group-like way, as opposed to a very individual, separated way.
But at the third dimension you’re at the beginning of this transition. You’re still dealing with other aspects of the third-dimension—power dynamics, the beliefs that there is not enough, that you have to fight to survive, and that if you don’t have power you may not survive. To ask for help at the vulnerable places of connection to your soul path can feel like you’re giving away all your power. It can feel quite scary at the third dimension. You may think that asking for help is stupid or the exact wrong thing to do.
This is part of what makes the third dimension a challenging place. Much of what you have learned and much of what you believe does not really support your highest good. You are in the process of finding your way with all this.
The heart is one of your greatest benefits and guides. The more you develop your skill and tools to connect with your heart, to follow your heart, and even to recognize what your heart guidance is, the more you will find your way, and the less you will be influenced by the insidiousness of the beliefs of separation, of not having enough, of the necessity of power, struggle, and survival. You will not become immune, you will become wonderfully strong, for yourself and for others.
This I invoke and wish to support as much as I can.

MARY MAGDALENE: Healing Body Shame and Sexual Shame
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I wonder if you might speak of the ascension process that we’re in.
Mary Magdalene: That is a very large topic. Is there a more specific question relative to the ascension process that you have?
Questioner: Not really, whatever you feel would be appropriate for our group.
Mary Magdalene: What is your question? What does your heart long for?
Questioner: Well, I often feel myself move from the third dimension to the fourth, and even sometimes the fifth, but I don’t stay very long. I suppose it’s natural to move back and forth between all three. When might I be able to maintain my presence in the fourth or fifth, and not do so much shifting around?
Mary Magdalene: Yes. This is a natural experience, especially as you progress further and further into the ascension process. You will experience spending time in higher dimensions—which for most of you will be the fourth or fifth initially. In general, you will not stay in the higher dimensions until you have completed your work in the third dimension. For most of you, the work you need to complete is about uniting the Masculine and Feminine. It is first about strengthening your Feminine, and especially your connection to feeling.
Most of you are heavily indoctrinated into cutting off from your feelings and living in your mind, to the point that you do not realize how severe this indoctrination has been. Your movie “The Matrix” is a kind of symbolic story of that. For most of you, this process of transcending the third dimension has to do with regaining your access to the Feminine. This is first and foremost about regaining access to feeling, as well as access to your body and your sexuality.
More than anything, your work with your body has to do with feeling shame that you carry relative to your body, and then loving your body as a temple. For most of you, shame is the great block in the arena of your body.
It is similar with sexuality. Most of you carry shame relative to your sexuality. Because of this shame, You have not allowed yourself to open to the pathway of sexuality as a spiritual process for carrying you into the higher dimensions and supporting you. You have limited your relationship to sexuality to be exclusively physical, which is a great limitation upon it.
All of you are sexual, whether you are engaging with a partner in a sexual way or not. You all have sexual energy. In ancient times, learning the pathway of sexuality was recognized as an important part of the ascension process. It was part of the Egyptian temple process and it was carried through the Egyptian temples to India. In India it became known as the path of kundalini, also known as the serpent pathway. Leaning the spiritual aspects of sexuality is an important aspect of your learning. For most of you, it will require healing of wounding, especially in the first and second chakras, and healing of shame for you to be able to access your sexuality fully.
Then there is the opening to the emotions, especially the painful emotions. This includes learning to hold the emotions such as sorrow, to mourn as a sacrament. It includes learning to hold fear as pointing to your own divinity, as opposed to something to be cut off from, or do battle with, or go away from, or suppress. Because when you do any of these latter things, you cut off from your power.
When you open to these Feminine parts of yourself, your mind—which now tends to dominate you—becomes a lover of the Feminine. Then your mind relaxes. It becomes in service to the Feminine, like a knight in service to the queen. Then the king may step forward. The king is your higher Masculine, your sacred Masculine. Once the king comes forward, he and the queen may join in marriage.
When that happens the gateway will open for you to transition. You will be able to change your kingdom into a higher dimensional one. For most of you this will be the fourth dimension, which more than anything is about manifestation.
The marriage of the king and queen energy is essential for you to be full in the school of manifestation that you enter in the fourth dimension. For most of you, this will be your next arena. It requires the completion of your gifts, your growth, and the foundation in the third dimension that you incarnated here for.
Is there more about that you wish to ask about?
Questioner: Do you have any advice on how to heal the shame?
Mary Magdalene: Relative to… ?
Questioner: Sexuality.
Mary Magdalene: It may be helpful to go back and to locate the time when the shame began, as an anchor or a point of consciousness. This may be supportive in guiding you to the part of your inner divinity that you disconnected from at that point. Can you speak to your own experience of the time when your shame began?
Questioner: Yes. When I was fourteen there was an older man, my teacher, who was attracted to me. I enjoyed the attention, but I was deeply afraid and ashamed of the sexual nature of it. I think I’ve spent much time trying—maybe in my mind—to understand why all that happened and trying to forgive him. But I don’t know that I felt the unconditional love for myself.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. This is a great trap with not embracing the Feminine. You can go too quickly into the Masculine aspect of this practice—the forgiveness aspect—when you’re not yet ready. Forgiveness is important and will come, but it needs to happen in an organic way.
What was it that you feared? If you could give voice to the fear, what was the fear?
Questioner: That I was wrong for wanting that attention. I get confused. I get into my mind, I suppose.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. This is the essence of shame, that there is something the matter with you for your experience, something the matter with who you are. There are judgements there. When shame arises, it is always interwoven with judgement, such as “You shouldn’t be enjoying this,” or “You shouldn’t be wanting this.” Is that accurate?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Were there any other judgements as well?
Questioner: I was also deeply afraid. When I think about wanting to be with the Masculine, and the surrender and trust involved, I just want to skip the healing part and bypass the fear.
Mary Magdalene: Was your fear pointing to a need for trust?
Questioner: Back then I needed safety.
Mary Magdalene: Yes.
In this moment, can you give yourself the safety that you were longing for and so needed?
Questioner: Yes, I can.
Mary Magdalene: Excellent. Let yourself fill up with that beautiful safety.
Then, when you’re ready, add in the experience of your sexuality, while staying connected to your inner divinity of safety. What happens for you when you do that?
Questioner: I feel the disconnection in my body. I feel the tendency to go into my head and stay there.
Mary Magdalene: Can you go to the place in your body where the disconnection is happening?
Questioner: My lower chakras.
Mary Magdalene: Can you ask your lower chakras what they want to communicate to you right now?
Questioner: They love me.
Mary Magdalene: And what else?
Questioner: That there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m not broken.
Mary Magdalene: Yes.
Are you able to see these chakras, these parts of yourself, in their beauty and purity and wholeness? Are you able to embrace them?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: That is your work for now. They will guide you from there.
Questioner: Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: Did you have another question?
Questioner: Yes. I was wondering if it’s the same process with shame of the body. Do you go back to where you feel it began?
Mary Magdalene: It is very often helpful. Sometimes it is not necessary. It is an artful process to see what is necessary. But if it is a deep and longstanding pattern, going back to where the pattern began can be helpful. Is body shame something you deal with?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Are you aware of the moment when it began?
Questioner: I don’t know if I’m aware of the moment it began. But I’m aware of a moment when I felt that.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. That is all you need. Are you aware of the inner divine quality that you disconnected from in that event?
Questioner: It was the sense that I was okay, that there was nothing wrong with me, that I was perfect as I was.
Mary Magdalene: Yes, your divinity and the perfectness of your body.
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Can you go to the place inside that knows the perfection and divinity of your physical body?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Can you give yourself to that place inside, like immersing yourself in a deep pool of that wonderful perfection, which is the divinity of you?
Questioner: Yes. It’s very freeing. It feels beautiful and pure and empowering.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. This is the place to return to again and again, to grow stronger in relationship to, and to stay connected to.
Questioner: Okay. Thank you so much, Mary.

MARY MAGDALENE: Sharing Your Gifts with Others
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: When I receive images of Jesus and the angels and Mary, should I share them with my family or the world, or should I just hold them inside?
Mary Magdalene: What is your guidance?
Questioner: The resistance from family and the world holds me back.
Mary Magdalene: Perhaps these are not the ones to share with. Perhaps this resistance is telling you it is not their free will to engage in this particular way. There may be others to share this with or to share in this form. How does that feel to you?
Questioner: Sometimes I see or feel or hear a glimmer that they want to observe my creations. Then other times I feel strong resistance. They don’t want it.
Mary Magdalene: You can always ask. You can ask those you wish to share your creations with. You can begin with expressing your desire to share, what would be fulfilled in you by sharing. They may need help to understand your motive, the part of you that comes to life, that connects with your heart and the light through this sharing. They may initially need this support from you to understand why you wish to share.
Then you can ask them if they would like to receive what you’re offering. And respect their response.
Questioner: When they reply “Yes” and they don’t show an interest, it hurts me.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. You were probably hoping for a kind of heart connection with them through this sharing and were hurt and disappointed when you didn’t receive the kind of heart connection you longed for, yes?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: So you can mourn that—your longing for this kind of heart connection. And then find the source of that quality of heart connection that you have gotten disconnected from within yourself. It ultimately lives in you, as part of your relationship to God. Reconnect with that. You are never limited in your ability to reconnect with God.
Once you reconnect, be guided from that place as to what you want to do. There are infinite possibilities. Perhaps you choose not to share in that way in the future. Perhaps you see a way that you are interfering with the process and you change your approach to sharing. There are endless possibilities.
What you suffer is your own disconnection from your divinity. And this is what you always are able to shift. It does not rest with others. It rests with yourself. Do you understand that?
Questioner: Yes.
So the joy I feel when I accomplish something physically or creatively, that’s my connection?
Mary Magdalene: That’s your connection. And part of your inner divine quality seems to be to want to celebrate this with others. Is that accurate?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: So this is your creation in the world. Part of your creative path is to find others who celebrate that with you.
I suspect the more you learn to open yourself as to what you feel, what you long for, what you long to fulfill in terms of your own inner divine qualities through this action of sharing—the more you do that, the more you will create the kind of celebration you desire. Others are not currently understanding you and connecting with your heart in your choice to share in this way. So your part is to support others in making that connection with your heart, prior to even connecting with the creation. Do you understand?
Questioner: I do.
Will holding back from sharing with family and friends hold me back from receiving feeling and creativity?
Mary Magdalene: Only you will know. You will be guided by your feelings, by your own inner divine qualities. This is your path. It is not mine to tell you. Beware of anyone who tells you what your path is. That is not the way of higher beings and higher consciousness.
Questioner: Thank you, Mary.
Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.
