MARY MAGDALENE: Trust Yourself
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: On this path of opening up to a different experience, I still often feel fear or a kind of negativity. At those times, I question, “Is this really real?” and “Am I really experiencing this?—especially when I get messages or when the energy goes higher. Sometimes I feel a discord and I cannot follow the energy.
Mary Magdalene: When this happens, there are different parts of yourself that are responding differently. There is a part of yourself that is opening and there is a part of yourself that has blockage.
The direct path is to embrace the part of yourself that has blockage. There may be wounding there. There may be a need for mourning a hurt that was never fully mourned.
Many of you were trained not to mourn, not to grieve. So the wound got stuck in you and lives in you as a blockage rather having gone through the natural purification of the wound.
Just like a physical wound has a process of healing that it goes through, which is very natural, an emotional wound has that as well. But if you stop a part of the healing, such as the mourning, it doesn’t complete itself. So there may be a need for mourning—to go back and allow the mourning, to be with it, to embrace it, to let it carry you to its natural completion.
This is like a child who has not been trained to suppress. When they cry, there’s a natural pathway through their tears. It comes to a completion and they are moved to a different place. They are clear, just like a rain that has ended and the light returns. There may be a need for this in you.
Or there may be fear there that needs to be embraced and followed to its source. There is something real in your being that you are disconnected from. It may be a need for a kind of safety, emotional safety or physical safety. Or it could be something else that you’re disconnected from, such as acceptance, inclusion, belonging, trust of some kind. Only you will know for sure what it is.
You will know when this work has fulfilled itself because you will come to peace. You will come to your wholeness. So this is guiding you to your next step of growth in feeling and openness. Does this answer your question?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: So many of you learned, and were taught, to do a kind of battle against these experiences. You learned to call it resistance. But they are gifts. What they bring is important. If you are open to receive the mourning or the fear, and let it take you to Source, you receive the gifts. Then you will have the peace and the wholeness you so desire. You will have clarity of your path forward from there.
This is your inner guidance. This is why it is so important to give yourself space from your mind, to hear this inner guidance and be with it.
In the third dimension, you have been trained that others know more than you, that you have to get your guidance from some authority outside yourself. Truly, you can be helped by others, and there are others who have helped.
But in the fourth dimension you realize that you are always your own authority, your own channel, your own vessel of God. This is your ultimate, true authority. From that place you can receive help, you can receive instruction, but it does not take you away from this self connection. It supports the self connection. If it is not supporting your self connection then it is probably not in your best interest. Many of you are in a transition of learning to trust yourself. But you have everything you need.

This is the first part of the channeling that was given in the Magdalene Cave in France, during this year’s MAGDALENE HEART PATH IN FRANCE retreat. (The voices in the background during the last few minutes are people who were outside the cave. I never heard them until I listened to the recording later!)

The Magdalene Portal in Venice
By Mercedes Kirkel
In early June I began my most recent journey to Europe, traveling with my close friend, Martine.
On our first flight we had two remarkable experiences. The first involved a woman who I saw several times prior to boarding and who seemed familiar to me. To my surprise, we ended up sitting next to each other on the plane. I told her she seemed very familiar and asked her if I knew her, but neither of us could remember having met before. She inquired as to what I did. Hearing that I channeled Mary Magdalene, she seemed quite affected. When she asked my name, she recognized me as a Magdalene author. She then told me she had an entire collection of Magdalene books she’d been guided to read, but mine was the only one she resonated with as authentic.
The woman seemed quite amazed to find herself sitting beside me on the plane, suddenly experiencing me in her life as a very real person, rather than her previous, more abstract relationship to me as “an author.” For me, it was joyful to meet someone who’d been touched by my books. It also felt like the magic of the journey had begun, that the two of us had been seated next to each other and discovered our connection through Mary Magdalene.
The other powerful experience that day happened to my traveling companion, Martine. At one point during the flight she closed her eyes to meditate and went into a deep space. She sensed she’d entered another dimension. In this space, she was surrounded by loving beings who she was familiar with and who had quartz crystals with them. The beings gave her a band that encircled her head. Attached to the band were golden rectangular plates. She intuitively understood that the plates were for healing and protection. The experience was exceedingly peaceful, uplifting, and full of light.
After our first flight, we flew to the south of France, where I was leading the MAGDALENE HEART PATH IN FRANCE 2017 retreat, in which Martine was both participating and assisting. Immersing ourself in this magical region, with its profound connection to Mary Magdalene, I felt myself enter a profound higher-dimensional space. My impulse to communicate verbally receded far away as the days, and then weeks, merged together.
Two and a half weeks later, the retreat came to a close and Martine and I continued our journey in Venice. This was the realization of a dream for me, as I have past life memories of having been a courtesan in Venice and have longed to re-visit this place I once knew so well.
We stayed in a marvelous, old-style Venetian apartment, four stories above the lovely canals, with gondolas constantly passing below. I found myself magnetized to the windows, from which I waved and threw rose petals to the floating gondoliers and passengers below, calling out “buon giorno” and applauding the operatic arias and romantic music.
Yet sooner than we’d planned, we were ready to leave. We’d enjoyed the feeling of the city, especially the sacredness of the water and the sweetness of the neighborhood we were staying in—with its plaza, church, fountain, pizzeria, gelato, and outdoor restaurants. But the “attractions” of Venice hadn’t spoken to us or moved us the way we’d hoped and we were feeling somehow unfulfilled. We both had experiences of feeling angry when visiting the famous churches, which for me had to do with how patriarchal the churches felt (and perhaps, too, with memories of past-life interactions with the Church, which I suspect had ended badly for me). I also felt a growing frustration that the courtesans seemed to be completely written out of the present-time story of Venice. But we decided to stay, mostly because it was too last-minute to do anything else.
On our final day, we both woke up exceedingly happy and filled with love. Checking my email, I found an invitation from another Magdalene author, inviting me to participate in a peace ceremony for Mary’s upcoming feast day on July 22nd. The ceremony was centered around a labyrinth in a San Francisco church.
I was moved that this woman had reached out to include me in this celebration. I felt drawn to participate, yet also unsure about the form of the ceremony. I’d never felt a connection to the practice of walking a labyrinth and didn’t feel that as part of my path in relation to Mary Magdalene. I decided not to respond immediately, to give myself time to clarify what I wanted to do.
Shortly afterward Martine and I headed out to spend our last day in Venice. We wanted to take one last boat trip along the Grand Canal to do a water blessing. The weather was gorgeous, in spite of predictions for thunderstorms, and we found ourselves merrily traveling along new streets, trusting where our bodies were guiding us.
Before long, we realized we’d missed the bridge we were intending to cross. But we were enjoying the way we were going so much that we didn’t care. We continued on, not knowing where we were. Suddenly Martine pointed to a church in front of us. She felt drawn to the architecture of the church, which was round with a dome on top. Even more, she felt attracted to the striking symbol above the door of an upward-pointing triangle with a circle woven through it.
I was struck by something else. I immediately noticed it was the Church of Maria Maddalena, or Mary Magdalene, which I hadn’t even known existed in Venice.
We excitedly approached and opened the door. But neither of us was prepared for what we found on the other side.
Stepping inside the church, we immediately felt the sacredness of the simple, six-sided building, with light streaming into the center from the cupola of the dome. It reminded me of the remains of the Temple of Isis we’d seen in France. But the most amazing part was what was on the floor, right in the center of the circular space. We had walked into a church with a full-size labyrinth created from 888 large rose quartz crystals, with 5 very large, clear quartz crystals in the center. Around the labyrinth were 6 golden rectangular paintings, each about 6 feet tall, with a seventh painting at the front, covering the altar, which was black with a luminous, very fine “X” painted through it.
It turned out that the paintings were a creation by the artist Slater Bradley titled “Sundoor at World’s End.” Bradley calls the paintings “solar shields,” which he says are a conduit for dimensional energy exchange. I couldn’t believe I was in a Magdalene church, with a rose quartz labyrinth, and giant paintings dedicated to exchanging dimensional energy—hidden in the middle of Venice! And only that morning I’d been saying I didn’t feel a connection between Mary Magdalene and labyrinths.
Martine excitedly began whispering to me that the paintings had the same images she’d seen in her meditation on our first flight of the trip, which had been on the plates attached to her headpiece!
We spent a very long time in the church. We slowly circumambulated from painting to painting, deeply taking in the transmission from each one. One at a time, we walked the labyrinth, even more slowly. My mind was completely empty and my walking was a whole-being prayer of communion with Mary Magdalene and Yeshua.
The center of the labyrinth felt like a portal to the fourth dimension. There was exquisite, inter-dimensional music playing softly and I began to tone my sacred mantra, with sound reverberating through my body and filling the domed, circular space. I have no idea how long I was there as time seemed to have stopped. Then ever so slowly I re-walked the labyrinth, sensing it’s different quarters as the quadrants of my brain and body.
I walked over to the bench on the side of the labyrinth and sat down. Across the church was a huge picture of Mary Magdalene. As Martine walked the labyrinth a second time, I fell into a powerful trance, in which Martine seemed to be an antennae sending me the full power of the labyrinth. I felt kundalini energy powerfully moving throughout my body. I became so tired I could barely hold myself up and had thoughts of laying down on the church floor to sleep (which I somehow resisted because I didn’t think the Italians would appreciate my doing that). Martine completed her second round and then another woman began her journey through the labyrinth, with me having yet another experience of receiving the power of the portal projected through this woman to me.
Finally Martine and I looked at each other, communicating without words that we were completely full and ready to move on. We floated out of the church, feeling amazed at what had occurred. I felt that Spirit had guided us to the real reason we’d come to Venice and we’d been given exactly what we needed.
Even now as I write this, I feel filled with gratitude and awe for having received this wonderful gift.

Yeshua and Mary Magdalene: The Purpose of Spirituality
Image by Joe Mabel
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: What is the purpose of spirituality and is there any ending point of evolution or consciousness? Is it something like freedom? Where is it all going?
Mary Magdalene: From the Feminine point of view, the purpose of spirituality is to feel a whole lot better than you do right now! (Laughs) That’s why I was laughing.
Can you imagine feeling absolute bliss, absolute love all the time? Would that be attractive? I imagine so.
I will let Yeshua speak for the Masculine point of view.
Yeshua: From the Masculine point of view, nothing is more wonderful than abiding as pure consciousness.
Ultimately, there is absolutely no difference between the pure Feminine of absolute love and the pure Masculine of complete consciousness. They are two sides of the mirror, two sides of the coin. You are always already both.
In some sense there is nothing to attain, as many of your spiritual practices have suggested.
But you have all chosen to come into this manifest form, where your consciousness is limited. You consciously chose and through that choice you manifested. Now your consciousness is reflecting the manifestation that you chose.
This is a bit of a sticky wicket, you might say. There is a part of you that remembers something higher. That part of you is your higher self. That part of you is calling you to change your consciousness, and through that your manifestation. It is also calling you to change your manifestation, and through that your consciousness.
Your higher self is calling you to this spiritual process. All are called. All are actually responding in their own way and their own form, which is right for them at this time. It is for each of you to respond. You can’t help but do it. You are doing it.
Yet in the third dimension you have free will. So part of your journey in this third dimension is to engage your free will to support this wonderful process of uniting in and as God. It doesn’t make sense to your mind. I recommend listening to your heart and your consciousness. Let that be your guide.

Ascension Update June 2017
Image By Olivier 92200
By Mercedes Kirkel
I’ve noticed that this recent period has been very intense for a lot of people.
I think it’s helpful to connect with the bigger picture in times like these. When I see a pattern of others having similar experiences, I feel reassured—not because I want others to be struggling but because I shift into a greater reality. I realize that what’s happening isn’t just about me and that I’m not alone. That helps me to get through. It helps me to trust the process, even if I don’t understand it, and to relax in the midst of it. It also gives me a sense of connection to the larger community of others sharing this pattern, which supports me tremendously.
My challenges recently have been showing up physically. I’ve had very difficult episodes of extended migraine headaches and back pain. For others, the challenges might be showing up in other ways, such as other forms of sickness, emotional struggles, mental difficulties, problems in relationships, difficult life circumstances, etc. I’ve also been struggling with not being able to conform to time structures and really needing to be on my own timing and flow.
If you’ve been experiencing something like this pattern, in whatever form, my heart and compassion go out to you. My guess is that it’s probably happening with greater intensity and lasting longer than you’re used to, or comfortable with, or enjoy.
That’s certainly what I was experiencing.
For me, this all came to a “boiling point” the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. That’s when I had a meltdown, kind of like my own personal Fukushima. I was crying and feeling great despair about my life. And then a friend called. I told my friend what was going on for me. She said she wished I was with her so she could support me. That sounded incredibly wonderful and I expressed how much I would like that.
At that moment a vision came to me of my friend coming and picking me up and taking me to her home in Ashland, Oregon. I felt how I would really love that. But I felt afraid to ask her to do that because it felt like “too much.” I noticed my fear and hesitated. Then I decided to ask for what I really wanted. And that’s what I did. To my amazement, she immediately responded with, “I can do that!” And I instantly knew that was exactly what I needed.
Three days later I was driving with my friend to Ashland, Oregon, including stopping to take in the majesty of Mt. Shasta on the way. Immediately upon arriving at my friend’s home I started to get better. Dramatically better! Hugely better! In fact, within a few days I actually felt good. I’d forgotten what “good” feels like. It’s really good!
I’m seeing the same thing in the bigger picture. I think many people are being asked by their soul to make changes in their lives that don’t seem easy. So they’re resisting making the changes. I know I was. I didn’t want to leave the Bay Area of San Francisco. There were many people I was close to there who I didn’t want to move away from, including my daughter and son-in-law. There were gatherings that I loved. I loved the land, the water, the climate. It felt like home to me.
But I was also ignoring the things that weren’t working for me, like the huge stress of the traffic and all the driving. Or the continual stress of the cost of living there. Or the frustration that I wasn’t finding a place to settle and start the spiritual community I so long to create.
Those were the signs that what I was doing wasn’t aligned to my soul path. I was doing my best to ignore those signs. So Spirit found a different way to get my attention, through my health.
I suspect many people are going through a similar scenario. I’ve had quite a few people tell me about wanting to make a change in their life yet feeling scared to take the leap. I think Spirit is helping them to do something different by making it not work anymore to continue with their previous “life”—and if necessary, even bringing in obstacles to their previous way of doing things. It’s Spirit’s way of redirecting us to what our soul really wants.
Is this happening for you? Are you feeling called to a change in your life that you’ve been resisting? Are you ready to take your next step of aligning with your soul in a greater way? It might be a baby step or a major leap. Only you will know what’s right for you.
How do you know what’s right for you? Look for the signs in your life of your soul speaking to you. Then trust those signs.
Spirit really does communicate with us all the time. It happens most often through the events of our lives. We just need eyes to see and ears to hear Spirit’s messages. If we don’t see or hear and then respond, Spirit turns up the volume and the signs become stronger. What may look like our life falling apart may actually be Spirit calling us to something new.
I hope you don’t need as strong a message as I did in order to listen and respond. I invoke that you follow your soul path and that your path is filled with ease and grace. So may it be!
In case you’re wondering what this has to do with ascension, I think it has everything to do with it. I think the ante is being upped and we’re being called to assume our soul path to a much greater degree. There’s less room for divergence and detours.
It’s like we’re in a slow-building volcano. But don’t be fooled by the speed (which really is incredibly fast in terms of the way evolution usually occurs). I have no doubt that we’re being gently, or sometimes not-so-gently, pushed to our next level of spiritual growth and unfoldment. And we’re having all kinds of growing pains along the way.
I believe huge forces are at play in our world. Just look at what’s happening politically, especially in the U.S. But there’s something even bigger that’s not being broadcast by the media. It’s a grassroots groundswell of a huge shift in spiritual evolution that’s underway. And we all showed up to be part of it.
It may not feel like what you were expecting when you “volunteered.” But now you’re here. And more than anything else, your most important work is your personal spiritual growth.
It may not feel like much at an individual level. But at the group level, what’s occurring is stupendous. I really believe this and see it everywhere. It gives me such hope and joy. I’m very confident that a growing group of awakening and awakened beings are tipping the scales on planet Earth toward a much more wonderful future.
I’m looking forward to it! And I hope you’ll be there, too.

YESHUA and MARY MAGDALENE: Inhabiting Feminine Power
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: Right now I am experiencing a familiar fear in my belly of fully inhabiting my Feminine self and Feminine power. I know this must have a historical aspect. Will you please speak to how to be fully in my Feminine radiance, love, and power?
Mary Magdalene: Thank you so much for this question. This is a very pertinent question.
You are remembering a form of wounding, a form of pain that you have experienced, be it in this lifetime or another. Most of you have experienced this kind of pain multitudes of times, in every lifetime.
In general, those of you who are incarnated in the Feminine, as a woman, have experienced this far more times and are often more sensitive to it, more aware of it, than those who are manifesting in the male gender, or in male bodies. But it is true of both genders. It is true of everyone. You have all experienced wounding relative to the Feminine.
Out of that wounding, there is pain and fear of re-opening again. Your wounding may not have been in the form of sexual abuse. There are infinite number of other ways it could have happened. You might have been told that you couldn’t do certain things because of being a woman. You might have been told you shouldn’t manifest certain things because they are lesser, and they were Feminine things such as being emotional or who knows what else. Or maybe you were withheld access to the Feminine, in so many ways. Denial is a form of very clear communication that something is not acceptable. When something is denied, then it’s suppressed. If nothing else, everyone has received denial and suppression of the Feminine through the consciousness that has been programmed in at the third dimension.
You are one who is sensitive to this. As all of you become more and more sensitive, very likely more and more of you will be aware of this challenge in opening to the Feminine. You will become aware that there is fear of being wounded and hurt again. The Feminine part of you, in general, is your more vulnerable part. This is not to say that men can’t be vulnerable. It is saying that men and women, when they are vulnerable in this feeling way, are coming from their inner Feminine aspect.
This is where you can do the process that I have taught. I will talk about this process briefly in this example. You let yourself go into this place of wounding. For you, you are saying it is in the pit of your stomach. Find where it is in your body and relax that place in your body. Allow yourself, as much as you can, to go into that place in a physical way, and also in an emotional way. Let yourself merge with the feeling that is manifesting there, which in this case is fear.
This is very different from your instinctive tendency when you feel fear. The instinctive tendency is the fight or flight mechanism. It’s “I am in danger, I might be killed!” Out of that, the instinctive response is to go into action, to jump out of the fear and protect yourself in some way or other. But we are not doing the instinctive response here. We are doing a conscious spiritual response. It may feel like you’re going against your natural instincts, and to some degree you are. You are going into a spiritual response.
So you open yourself in your belly, in your fear, and you let yourself merge with the fear. From that place of opening and merging with the fear, there is a simple, more direct process.
The more direct process is to open to God from the place of uniting with the fear, and to let God guide you. You may get a message. You may get a vision. You may get sensation that guides you and tells you what to do. More than anything else, you have reconnected with God. Because what you are suffering is not the fear. You are suffering your disconnection from God. So that is one option, this simple process.
There is a process that is slightly more complex. But even though it is more complex, for many of you it is easier. So we also offer this. The second option begins the same way. You let yourself go into the bodily feeling and the emotional feeling of the fear. From that place you use your consciousness to inquire as to what the source of the fear is—knowing that the source of the fear is not the outer experience. The source of the fear is your own disconnection from God, in one or more particular forms that God manifests within you, which I have called your inner divine qualities.
In this circumstance of connecting with your Feminine, I am guessing the source of your fear is your inner divine qualities of safety and well-being. The inner divine qualities are always beautiful because they’re an aspect of your union with God. These are attributes of being fully in union with God. It is in God where you find your true safety and well-being.
Going back to our example, you open to the fear and let yourself merge with it. From that place, you inquire what is the source in your inner divine qualities and you let yourself discover these. This is the process that Mercedes teaches in her course. [NOTE: Mary Magdalene is referring to THE MAGDALENE HEART PATH Online Course.] This skill is very valuable to develop. I’m not going fully into it now because of time constraints. But if you were to learn this through the course or through another means, it would become clear how you connect with these inner divine qualities. I am simply going to say at this point that you can.
Let us say that the inner divine qualities for this situation are safety and well-being. Then you rest in your knowingness of safety and well-being. For some this may be very direct. Simply by connecting with the inner divine qualities, there is a sense of dropping in, where you know what it’s like to experience safety and well-being. For some, you may need a little help. It might help to remember a time when you felt safe, when you experienced well-being. Or it may help to have an image of what safety or well-being looks like. Use whatever works for you. Connect with the place in yourself where you already know the fulfilled state of safety and well-being.
When you’ve connected with that, rest in that. Then bring back the original situation—in this case, the original situation of opening to your Divine Feminine. You will notice that your feelings have changed. If you have connected with the actual inner divine qualities that you previously disconnected from, you will now be in a state of peace. You will experience peace.
You may also experience a kind of energized activation, where suddenly you have ideas about how you can further support your well-being and your safety as you connect to your inner Feminine. Those ideas, and that feeling of being activated and energized, are your guidance that you are ready to move forward in a different way.

An Encounter with Our Helpers
Image By Vahram Mekhitarian
By Mercedes Kirkel
This past week I went on a hike with my good friend, Susan. We chose a trail by the San Francisco Bay that Susan used to frequent but hadn’t been on in a number of years. The weather was beautiful, the wildflowers bursting forth, birds gracing our path, and all seemed wonderful.
After hiking for a while, Susan asked how I was doing because my back had been sore earlier that day. I appreciated her reminding me because I was enjoying our time together so much that I’d forgotten all about it. But it seemed wise not to overdo, so I decided to head back at a slower pace. Since Susan still had energy we agreed she’d hike a bit further and then meet me back at the car.
I had a leisurely walk back and was resting in the car when I got a text from Susan. It was brief but didn’t sound good: “Got in some difficulty on way back. Route changed & wading through tall weeds. Sorry & wish me luck.” I wasn’t clear what had happened, but I sensed danger. I asked if there was anything I could do, but she said she didn’t think so.
About 15 minutes later I got another text: “OK. Now I’m scared. Dead ended at water.” I still wasn’t sure what had happened, but now I was scared, too. I asked her if she could turn around and come back and she replied “Sort of but so tired.” I didn’t like the sound of that.
“Should I call 911?” I asked, but she responded “Not yet.” I told her to conserve the battery on her phone and she let me know she was turning it off.
So I waited.
Ten minutes later she texted, “Maybe yeah, call them.” I didn’t need a second request. By now my heart was in my throat.
I’d never called 911 before, but I was so glad to be able to call then. I went through a series of relays and soon was connected to the local police department. They said they’d send a ranger and I should flag him down when I saw him.
As soon as the ranger arrived, I got a text from Susan, “I’m back at the road!!! Can you cancel?” I relayed this to the ranger, but since the trail was actually a fire road, he thought it was a good idea to drive in and see if she needed help. As soon as he said it, I knew it was a good idea.
It wasn’t till I saw them emerge at the trailhead that I could finally let out how scared I’d been. Even as I write this, tears are coming to my eyes. I was incredibly grateful to the ranger for driving Susan out, as she was in fact extremely exhausted—physically and emotionally.
After we calmed down Susan shared the full story of what happened. She described losing the trail and bushwhacking through weeds up to her shoulders as she trudged through swampy wetlands for over an hour, praying for help and guidance all the way. But the really remarkable part was what happened when she finally found the road again.
At that moment, she heard a deep voice that told her, “You’re never alone.” And suddenly she felt surrounded by myriads of light-beings who were all loving and helping her. She started sobbing as she felt some of them right up against her body, and sensed thousands of others filling the landscape. The message came that in some ways we are aided by incarnated beings, such as Mercedes and the park ranger, and in other ways by unincarnated beings. Both are available to us.
I wasn’t happy that my friend went through all she did that afternoon. But I was in awe and gratitude when I heard her describe her spiritual experience.
When I asked Susan a few days later if I could share her story, she said, “Sure, I guess it could be helpful for some people.”
I responded, “I believe every reminder that we’re not alone is helpful. It’s so easy to forget.”
To which she replied, “Amen to that.”

YESHUA and MARY MAGDALENE: Healing Sexual Abuse
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I’m an adult female who experienced childhood sexual abuse. How can I work with my Divine Masculine or my divine energy to heal? How can I feel more safe to explore and heal using my own sexuality?
Mary Magdalene: I want to first express my great grief that you have experienced this in your lifetime. I know you are not alone. So many have gone through this. We mourn for you and we understand the challenge that this has been. We are sorry.
This is one of the forms that the suppression of the Feminine has taken in your world. Not only that so many will be the recipients of this kind of abuse, but also that so many are so cut off from the Feminine that they are led to engage these actions of abuse with others. We greatly mourn this in your world.
The first step always is to heal yourself. This healing must be done very gently and very consciously. I imagine you have already done a great deal of work even to ask this question, even to be in this place with us today, and I acknowledge that. If there is a sense that there is any more work to do, take such good care of yourself.
This is how you can work with your inner Masculine: Call upon your inner Masculine to be your protector, to protect you and to take such good care of you, whatever you require. Let your inner Masculine be your guide to what is safe for you now. You may not have been able to protect yourself in the past, but let your inner Masculine become your protector. Begin to step-by-step rebuild your trust with your own inner Masculine, so you can learn to trust yourself again.
This is one of the greatest arenas that victims of abuse suffer—they lose trust in themselves. This is the place to begin. Very gently and very consciously, through your inner Feminine, ask your inner Masculine to begin to help you to rebuild trust, first and foremost in yourself and knowing that you can trust yourself. Take as long as you need for that.
When that begins to feel strong and full, then ask your inner Masculine to begin to help you find the guidance for going into the healing of anything that remains from the past event. This may include you finding one or more outer sources that you trust. Find those who you trust their ability and skills to help you, and who will provide a safe container for you for healing.
Do the work you need to do, which very likely will involve (to whatever extent it is not already complete) grieving what occurred. Grieve what you lost through those incidents. Grieve all the way through to the other side, to finding the place in you that knows what it is to be safe, to receive love that is safe, and where you only open if it is your choice to open.
You will find that pathway. It is there in you, because you know the loss of it. You can’t miss something unless you already know, on some level, what it is to have it. In some part of your being you know what that safety, love, and freedom of choice is. It can guide you. What it’s guiding you to is your divinity, because your ultimate safety is in God. Your ultimate love is with God. Your ultimate protection for your choice and your freedom to choose is with God. That is where your true healing will occur.
When that occurs, you will start to change and you will feel it. Your inner Feminine will be aware of it, and will be conscious and have clarity about what is happening to you. Then you will be ready to start to call in a different kind of relationship, if you choose. It is not required, ever, that anyone be in relationship. It is not necessary for you to be in relationship to receive all of the wonderful things that are guaranteed to occur for all of you, including the fullness of Divine Masculine-Feminine love. You will be at choice as to what is right for you. At that point you will be whole, and well ready to make that choice and follow through on whatever your choice is.
We offer you our fullest, fullest blessings, as we do for all those who have received abuse in this or other forms.

YESHUA-MARY MAGDALENE: Attracting a Partner
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I’ve been divorced twice and a single mother for almost twenty years. Though I’ve done a lot of personal and spiritual work over the years, I yearn for a partner and a soul mate. Is there anything I can do to attract this special man into my life to practice a conscious love relationship? Do twin flames or twin souls have anything to do with this?”
Mary Magdalene: Thank you for this question. We know that so many souls at this time are longing for what you might call your “soul mate.” You’re longing to be fed in the outer dimension by another who complements you in your manifestation of the Divine Masculine and Feminine, and who feeds you in this outer way.
This is so natural in your realm, and really in the whole scheme of manifestation, because of the way manifestation is all a reflection of Mother-Father God. There is a naturalness to wanting to be in union with your Divine complement, you might say. It is part of the grand picture, which most likely you are only seeing a portion of at this time.
As you access higher dimensions, you will see more and more of this grand scheme. You will also see more and more of how the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine are constantly manifesting in myriad ways. At this point it may be less obvious to you how that is going on. That, too, is completely understandable when a being is manifesting in the third dimension.
The first thing I want to say is please don’t negate yourself for this heart longing. Ultimately what someone is longing for when they’re longing for this kind of partnership is union with God. The ultimate form of knowing your wholeness in God involves knowing the Divine Masculine and Feminine as always in union with each other, as well as what is prior to Divine Masculine or Divine Feminine or that union.
I can imagine some may be thinking I’m saying, “Just unite with God and forget about your desire for a partner.” I imagine that might feel frustrating.
What I am saying is that, very likely, your desire for a partner will never be satisfied, even if you’re in a partnership, until you unite with God. This is because God is the source of the fulfillment of your longing. God is what that longing is really pointing you to. I always—and I am quite sure I speak for Yeshua, as well—we always urge you to do whatever supports you in connecting with the Divine Masculine and Feminine, Mother God-Father God in union with each other, Divine Feminine, Divine Masculine, however you term it or relate to it. Support yourself in that. When you do that, your reality is going to change.
First of all, if you are not in a relationship, your level of frustration is going to change. You will be much happier and much more at peace. If you are in a relationship and you do that, your level of frustration will also probably change tremendously. You will support your relationship. You will enjoy your relationship. And you will benefit from your relationship so much more if you source your union through God rather than your partner.
The true function of a partnership is to celebrate your prior union with God. It is also to support you in your spiritual path and your manifestation of your spiritual service in this incarnation.
If you are looking to a partnership to fulfill you in your longing for the Masculine or the Feminine (depending on which you tend to long for), we suggest taking that as a sign that your work is with God, not with another human being, or even a being on a subtler plane. Do your work in God. Then you will be guided to what is right for you in partnership. Very likely you will manifest a different reality at that point.
If you find you’re not in partnership and you are wanting to be, that is very often a sign of something you are creating. Somehow you are creating yourself to not be in partnership. Your longing to be in partnership is part of your guidance for your spiritual growth. It’s showing you that there is something for you to work and evolve with in yourself, which is somehow keeping you from being in partnership in the way you might like. That is clarifying. It’s like a light shining on this arena to help you to know what your work is to do.
Perhaps you are still healing from wounding. Perhaps there is some way you are protecting yourself from being open to a relationship because a relationship requires vulnerability and openness. Perhaps there is fear on your part of what would happen if you truly opened yourself. Perhaps there is grief you have not completed from a past relationship.
In general, it will come down to emotions that you need to complete. This is the emotional work that was talked about in the messages recorded in the book Mary Magdalene Beckons. For most of you, the emotional work is the biggest area you are deficient in. It is your biggest block to the Feminine. It is your biggest block to having your Feminine be strong enough to allow you to live in your heart, stably, and unite with the Masculine. which is a stepping stone to the ascension process.
More than anything else, we urge you to do this work. Become the emotional masters that you on Earth were intended to be. This primarily refers to understanding the pathway when you are in emotional pain, for letting that pain connect you to your divinity. That pathway will change you, just the way a river carves out a beautiful canyon. Your painful emotions were meant to grow you. Most of you are still living in fear of your painful emotions—avoiding them, trying to get out of them, or trying to never have them. You are robbing yourself of the great gift that you still require from your emotions in order to make the spiritual transition of ascending into the higher dimensions.

YESHUA and MARY MAGDALENE: Beyond the Limits of Masculine-Feminine Attraction
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: Traditionally, men have been attracted to women because of their youth and beauty, and women have been attracted to men because of their wealth and success. How can we go beyond these limitations?
Mary Magdalene: Thank you so much for this question. This is a question I think many people have, especially those who already have some degree of awakening to their spirituality and the spiritual process.
Many people are wondering if the traditional forms of attraction may be limiting them in their opening to love and consciousness. They wonder if these forms of attraction are limiting them in their choice of partners and who they relate to in intimate partnership. And they wonder if these kinds of attractions are also limiting them in their life and world altogether. So I would like to speak to this.
The first thing I want to say is that the attributes you’re referencing of beauty and youthfulness are wonderful things to be loved and enjoyed.
In fact, when you transition into the fourth dimension, where the primary learning is about manifestation, one of the first and primary things all of you will become adepts at is your own manifestation. In general, what you will be manifesting is beauty and youth for yourself. (Laughing) This is a wonderful practice.
If you encounter and have the opportunity to connect with fourth-dimensional beings, you will notice that they are very beautiful and youthful because they have mastered this practice of manifestation. In the third dimension, most people are not yet aware of their ability to manifest youth and beauty, or anything else for that matter. So you are manifesting something different, by and large, throughout all of humanity, because you have not understood the process of manifestation.
I’ve digressed a bit from the question and I want to get back to it. I just wanted to emphasize that there’s nothing at all wrong with youth and beauty. These are wonderful, divine qualities to be enjoyed.
Yet you do not want to be limited by these. You do not want to be limited to only seeing the outer form.
We recommend that you go beyond the limitation of only seeing the physical form or aspect of youth or beauty. We recommend instead seeing the heart and consciousness of the person. Let yourself be fed by the person’s heart and consciousness, which are their exalted forms of Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine.
What you will find when you do this is that these people will begin to become beautiful to you. You are actually changing your manifestation through that creation. You may even see them as youthful. Your reality will begin to change.
The same goes for seeing people as wealthy or successful. When you are seated in your heart and consciousness, you will begin to see the incredible wealth and success of every being you encounter. Just the fact that they are manifested in the Earth realm and are engaging the spiritual work that they’re engaging, is such a manifestation of the success of their spirituality and this whole creation process that you are all a part of.
And there’s incredible wealth in having so many beings manifested and bringing their qualities into your world. When you understand how everyone is a manifestation of God in human form, and that they’re bringing that to you in this moment, there’s nothing more abundant, nothing more truly filled with wealth than that.
As you all grow, this is what you will be experiencing more and more.
