Question: Would the revelation of the gospels, which you and Yeshua may have written, give insight we are lacking into the coming together of the Masculine and Feminine?

Mary Magdalene: It has largely been lost in terms of the verbal communication. But there was an empowerment in that teaching. Earlier, I spoke about this spiritual presence, this transmission, this empowerment. It is still alive in the gospels—even with the extraction of the meaning and the content. That is why so many are so passionate about the Bible, without understanding that it is not about trying to understand the meaning, for that has largely been extricated. It is about the life. “I am the life.” It is there in the gospels as life. It was there in my relationship with Yeshua. It was in our bodies. And it is in yourself.

So you can use that power. But it is not about finding the answer or reading the words and getting it through understanding the concepts. That is not where you will find it. Now it must be found through the transmission.

Questioner: Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are most welcome.

Question: I seek greater balance, understanding, and connection to the love and worship of Mother Creator and to add love to my own soul. Sometimes I’m in balance with that and other times the blocks seem overwhelming to be healed.

Mary Magdalene: That’s because you are trying to heal them. You need to receive them. That’s your gift in the moment—something that is difficult or painful, those times that aren’t blissful or easeful or whatever. At those times, you think, “Oh, this must be something I need to fix. I need to do something to make this go away so I can get back to that wonderful, blissful, easeful space.” But that is not accurate.

What you need to do is receive the gift of the block. That is the perfect gift being given to you in that moment. And for many, many, many at this time, the greatest fear is to open to that. Yet opening to that is exactly what you need. Usually it will be an emotion that you are ultimately opening to—some great fear, some great pain, some tremendous loss, anger—whatever it is.

Then you must become skilled in the pathway of traversing where you need to go when you open to that emotion. It is not enough simply to open to the emotion without skill. You need skill. This is what I was teaching, or doing my best to teach, through the first book of Mary Magdalene Beckons. The pain is calling you to the place within yourself that has become cut off from God. Learn that skill, that practice, that pathway. Then you can use the painful emotion to reconnect yourself from your dissociation, your divorce from God. That is where your healing will occur, rather than in the way you tend to be thinking about it at this time.

Questioner: It’s been a very mental training of learning “What is the lesson of this? How do I release this? What do I do?” It’s like trying to manage my own receiving. It’s very exhausting.

Mary Magdalene: Yes! This is the Masculine way. (laughing) What I’m inviting you to is the Feminine way, which is the organic way. It is not entirely organic for you anymore because you have all been cut off from it. If that had not happened it would be very natural for you. But now you must apply yourself to it. And that is the real healing—to heal the blocks that have been implanted within yourself to this organic process, which will lead you to that Masculine understanding. But let the Feminine lead. That is the natural way.

The French have this wonderful expression: “Cherche la femme.” There is great wisdom in that. Follow the Feminine. Follow your body. Follow your emotions. Let it take you to your wholeness within, your inner divinity, to the healing that needs to happen there. Then quite of its own accord, the understanding, the insight, the lesson will be there for you. It will be offered to you freely and easily. And you will be back in harmony, strength, and union.

This is the pathway. It will not exhaust you. It will energize you. This will be one of the signs that you are on the path. When something is exhausting you, it is a sign that this is not the way. It is like swimming upstream. It is exhausting. It’s trying to tell you to turn around. Go the other way.

I am not explaining the full pathway at this time, because I have done that to a great extent through the communications in the book. Begin with that. If that is not clear, get help from one such as Mercedes, who understands this now and can help others. It is a great support and one that is so needed. When you become strong in it, you will become a helper to others. You will become a teacher. This is how it will spread.

Questioner: Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are most welcome. Thank you.

Question: I was a student of the biblical scriptures and I love the words of Jesus. I was once told by Archangel Michael that there was a lot of tampering with the scriptures but that the words of Jesus were for the most part preserved. I would like you to comment on the statement “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” To me it seems like he’s talking to the heart-based Feminine.

MaryMagdalene: The Feminine is not meek (laughing). This is a misunderstanding.

Questioner: Please elaborate.

MaryMagdalene: I would say that this is one of the passages that have been altered.

It has more to do with what you choose to get involved with. There are those who are very involved with what you might call earthly things. And there are those who are drawn to various things, and amongst those might be God and union with God. But there is nothing meek about this. Nothing could be stronger.

This was something that was used and altered to change the original meaning. The original meaning was “Blessed are those who are drawn to God more strongly than all of the involvements of the third dimension.” For most, being drawn to God is a process. It is a process within one’s life and it is a process over lifetimes.

There is a purpose in being incarnate. Your purpose is not supported by dissociating oneself from incarnation. To do that is to deny the gifts of being incarnate. This is a spiritual misunderstanding that many have had that has held you back, that has made you meek.

Whatever circumstance you are in, that is the gift before you. You do not need to change your circumstance and truly you do not need to change yourself. You simply need to receive the gift of that circumstance—deeply, profoundly—to the point that it opens your heart. It may even feel as though it is breaking your heart. But it is ultimately ecstasy and opening. That is the process.

So you do not need to become strong; you do not need to become meek. You do not need to be this; you do not need to be that. You need to open to what you are and what is presenting to you, because that is the perfect form of the gift for you right now, for your greater God communion.

Ultimately it is all God. It is not “This is God and this is not. This is the path and this is not.” It is all God. But until you realize that—not just think it but actually realize that—it will appear that some is God, some is not; some is “the way,” some is not. That is part of the illusion. But as long as it does appear that way, receive the gift. Receive what is happening to you right now in your life and let it open you to the growth that will bring you beyond this, to the greater union with God. That is the gift of incarnation in this realm.

It is actually so much simpler than so many realize. So much of your thinking complicates it so much more than it is. It is actually right in front of you, right here, right now. It is the bill that needs to be paid, the child that needs to be loved, the tooth that needs to be fixed—whatever it is. It’s always being given to you. God is infinitely gracious, always trying again and again through every moment to reach you and help you for exactly what you need.

Has this been of help to you?

Questioner: Yes.

Mary Magdalene: I am glad.

Questioner: If I speak about the principles of what Yeshua taught, that’s really understandable to people. But when I say, “That’s what Jesus said,” suddenly a whole different conversation comes up. Then they seem to miss the principles. How would you work with that in the world we have today?

Mary Magdalene: What is the different conversation they go into?

Questioner: They talk about dying on the cross, salvation, and being a sinner, and they can’t really hear the idea that his teaching was about liberation or freedom.

Mary Magdalene: This is because the Feminine has been lost, so people have lost their power. Then they become prey to a form of mind control.

The most direct answer of how to change this, in my opinion, is to strengthen the Feminine. More than anything else, it is to strengthen the emotional body, which is a key component of the Feminine. Optimally, this must be done in childhood. Your young boys and young girls need this more than anything else. They will get it through your transformation, because children learn through their parents or whoever their adult caregivers are.

The work of strengthening the Feminine, and especially the emotional body, is necessary at any rate. It is also what will address the problem of which you speak most quickly and most powerfully. The mind is like a machine. In some ways, it is like your computers. It can be programmed for anything. Your computers are powerful, but they are not good at making judgments. They can be used for any purpose. So you require the physical body. You require the emotional body. You require the energy body. You require all of these to guide you, to know what is really for your highest and what is not, and to choose the higher.

This is the highest form of alchemy, because it is the alchemy of the inner union of the Masculine (in the form of the mind) and the Feminine (in the form of the body, emotions, and energy). This is the most powerful alchemy.

[NOTE FROM MERCEDES: This dialog occurred during a gathering in Sedona, AZ, during which I was channeling Mary Magdalene. The questioner was a woman who attended the gathering.]

Question: I have been studying your teachings and have felt drawn to your fire and your softness. I want to better understand the Feminine power in its ecstatic, sexual fire form. What is the way to not challenge the Masculine with this fire energy of the Feminine and a Feminine body? How can I safely contain it and flow it, without inviting danger, rape, and Masculine domination from the out-of-balance Masculine?

Mary Magdalene: There is much to this. I am glad that you have asked. It is important for many to know and understand this.

It has a great deal to do with being strong in your emotions and your physical body. The natural progression for a child is first to develop their relationship to their physical body and then their emotional body, their energy body, and lastly their sexuality. The energy body is an early form of sexuality, but it doesn’t become sexual as most people think of sexuality until a later point. If this progression is well developed and people are strong in this, you have great strength and protection.

At this time, especially in the West, many are not strong in this. Women often were schooled to be dissociated from their physical body and their emotions in many ways. Men have been schooled to dissociate in different ways, especially with certain of the emotions. But for women, it is often that they were trained to be subservient and submissive, and to subdue their strength relative to their body and their emotions—particularly if it was in a form that seemed at all challenging to authority or the Masculine, or both.

For many, changing this will require strengthening of the emotions, and possibly the physical body as well. I do not mean strengthening as far as building up muscles, although you could liken it to building up muscles. But it’s not literally what I am speaking about. I am talking about not having blocks, being fully developed and complete in your maturity in these areas.

This is why in the first book that Mercedes brought through from me, Mary Magdalene Beckons, I focused so much on the emotions. At this time, many—including many light workers, many who are very sincerely on the spiritual path and very dedicated to that path—are still lagging behind in their emotional development, suppressed in certain areas. This has affected your power tremendously, because you don’t know yourself if you are not clear in your emotions. You are not connected to yourself. You don’t know what’s going on. You’re not getting the signals that are telling you what’s happening with yourself and in your world. You have learned to shut those down.

Until you do that emotional work in its fullness and you become strong in that, you will have this problem of being divorced from your power. This is a massive problem at this time in your world. This is why you live in a world that is so dominated by so very few people. It is because all of you have been trained to give your power away.

This is not limited to women. This is also the case with men, although their training happens in a somewhat different way. But you have been trained to submit and to be submissive. Some use stronger words. They say you’ve been trained to be slaves. There is a certain amount of truth in this. And it is why so much of your world is controlled by those who actually have very little power. They have convinced you to be divorced from your own power. So it seems that they have a great deal of power. They don’t, in fact. If you were to call back your power, you could easily overcome them because you are much more powerful. It is simply numbers.

The root of this problem is in the emotions, in not being connected to your emotional body and getting the information that the emotional body would give you. If you were connected to your emotions and you were in a situation where the emotions were telling you—and you were receiving the communication—to be afraid, that this is not a safe situation, that would empower you to act and to bring about the safety that you require. But if you have divorced yourself from your feelings, you do not recognize that your communication of fear is coming up, so you don’t receive the information that this is not a safe situation.

Sexuality is something that requires discernment. This is why children are not sexual at birth. They don’t have that discernment. Sexuality is given to them when their minds are more developed, and hopefully the other parts of their being—their physical, emotional, and energy bodies—are also more developed. Then they have the capability of using their sexuality with discernment.

It is not that you are to open your sexual power to the world as a continual, ongoing state or to anyone you encounter. In general, this would not be wise and would not support you. It does not mean that you shut down your power. You keep your power open to yourself and then you choose in what circumstances and with whom it is the correct situation to open sexually.

In your time, you are given so many messages that are very confusing. You are constantly being shown sexual messages through your media that are indoctrinating you that you should be sexual all the time if you want to have any value. This has created great confusion.

Your Feminine power is not identical to your sexuality. They are two different things. Sexuality is one form that your Feminine power takes, but it is not the only form. You choose when you wish to manifest your Feminine power through the form of sexuality.

You must become wise. You must become discerning. But more than anything, you must heal your emotional blocks. You must learn to, once again, come into complete integration and functional mastery and utilization of your emotions. The ones I am talking about are your painful emotions, the ones many refer to as your “negative emotions,” which in and of itself is a communication saying, “This is something you should not be involved in.” That is misinformation. That is part of the propaganda being put out all the time. It is propaganda against the Feminine. Your emotions—including all of your painful emotions—are part of your Feminine nature, whether you are a man or a woman. The suppression and misinformation that has been put out about emotions has been part of the programming of suppressing your power.

Ultimately your power is in the Feminine. The Masculine is not as powerful as the Feminine. This is not to say that men are not as powerful as women, because men have their Feminine, just as women do. The Masculine is a genius at implementation. But the Feminine is the fuel. The Feminine is the spark. The Feminine is the energy. The Feminine is the power.

With this comes responsibility. Some have awakened to their Feminine power and have not awakened to the same understanding of how to use it responsibly. It is not to dominate. It is not to hurt. It is not to overpower. It is to be used in love. It is to be used in love of the Masculine. It is a beautiful system that works perfectly when it is full, when you are in your wholeness.

Part of your process of coming to the Earth has been to realize this wholeness. It is a very great process, this wholeness in the third dimension. It is a process that, for most of you, will require lifetimes. You are learning about all the different aspects of this wholeness. Power is an enormous one that is being learned about in the third dimension. More than anything else, you might say that the third dimension is a school for learning about power. Many of you have suffered the incompleteness of this lesson. It is a lesson in process and many misuses are still occurring. That is the way beings learn and grow in the third dimension.

I highly recommend that you devote yourself to this growth. It is the most important thing you can do. It is what will ultimately free you from the pain, the suffering, the limitation you have experienced when this growth is not yet complete.

Does that answer your question, or is there more that you wish to know about this?

Questioner: There is more. Part of my teachings has been to use sexual power as part of my medicine, energy, and vitality. When there is an abundance of that in the Feminine form, that seems to taunt authority and the Masculine. How do we keep the raw Feminine fire safe?

Mary Magdalene: You must develop your heart. Power must always be used in service to the heart. The heart does not taunt.

Questioner: I’m not saying the intention is to taunt. When a female is flowing her energy, why does that seem to taunt authority? Is that part of what rape is? What is it about the Feminine that challenges the Masculine in that way? Why has the Masculine for centuries now had to shut down the Feminine?

Mary Magdalene: What I have to say may be hard to hear.

Questioner: OK.

Mary Magdalene: (speaking gently) There is a learning for you in this. In some way, you are still seeing the Masculine as your opponent. In some way there is probably pain inside of you relative to the Masculine. And there is healing to be done.

Questioner: Is it not collective, though?

Mary Magdalene: (still speaking gently) It is never collective. It is always in our hearts. In our hearts we create this world. Whatever you’re experiencing in this world is what you have created in your heart. If you are having this experience, there is some way that it is calling to you to do some transformational work within yourself. It may be difficult to see.

Questioner: No, I see it. Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: Are you complete with this?

Questioner: For now, yes. Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: Many blessings to you.

“Golden gate2” by Aslak Raanes

Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On August 9, 2014

[Note from Mercedes: This message was directed to me personally from Mary Magdalene, shortly after I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, which I did in response to guidance from Spirit to make this move. I offer it for everyone because I feel there is information from Mary that will be of value to many.]

Mercedes: Beloved Mary, I ask for your help and guidance. I am feeling exhausted and discouraged from my search for a place to live in the Bay Area. The rents are much higher than I am used to and comfortable with, and what’s being offered in exchange seems very small and limiting, sometimes even depressing. On top of that, so many people are looking for places and there are many fewer available, so that I’m not even getting responses to my inquiries. Is this a sign that I’m not supposed to be here? Where am I supposed to be and what am I supposed to do?

Mary Magdalene: Hello my dear one. I am here, as always, and I am glad that you have called upon me. I feel the heaviness in your body and mind and I sense how difficult this time has been for you.

I am celebrating the things you are doing to stay strong in the midst of this. You have been meditating daily, which is so important. You have been caring for your body with good food, exercise, and sleep. You have been talking with your friends and sharing your feelings with them, getting their support and really taking it in. You have been receiving touch, which is such an important form of nurturing for you. You have reached out to your circle of friends and acquaintances in the area and asked for their prayers and practical help in finding a rental. You have shown courage in asking for help beyond your comfort zone. You have remained compassionate and caring toward others and their struggles and challenges, including landlords who have chosen others over you. You have remained in a disposition of trust that there is enough for all. You have gone through your initial stress and fear to reach a greater depth of openness to Spirit’s guidance of your life. And you have allowed your mind to expand to greater possibilities, including that you may live further from your desired location or perhaps may not stay in this area at all. This is all most important and highly laudable. I want to be sure you are aware of how strong your practice and connection to Spirit has been in this time.

You sense that there is still reason for you to be in this area and I am in agreement with that. You have also sensed that this challenging time you are experiencing is for a purpose, which I also agree with. You might liken it to the difficult passage of childbirth that leads to a being entering fully into your third dimension. Similarly, you are entering into a new phase of your life and work, and this difficulty is part of what is preparing you for that.

You are becoming sensitive, through your personal experience, to the great stress that many people are feeling at the survival level at this time. You have been mostly shielded from this up till now. Even when people described to you how challenging the housing market is in the Bay Area, prior to your coming there and experiencing it yourself, you did not really understand or fully believe what they were telling you. You did not have deep empathy for what this experience is like.

This is part of your process of preparing for greater service. You are now understanding in a whole new way the powerful stress that so many experience at this time. You are in a bigger metropolitan area, (though certainly not as big as some in your world) and you are seeing the results when so many people are concentrated into a finite area, how inhuman it can become. You are also seeing the stress created by a higher speed of life and a higher cost of living. All of this is a part of many people’s ongoing reality, and now you are coming to understand this in a much more profound way.

You have experienced sadness about this, not merely for yourself but primarily for all those who live in this circumstance and consider it to be normal. And you have maintained your dignity and heart-openness in the midst of it.

Part of this is for your growth. With the completion of your recent book, your work is at the beginning of a new phase of great growth. For this to be allowed and supported, you need to be in a bigger circumstance than you were previously. The Bay Area is not just a bigger circumstance in terms of population. It is specifically bigger in terms of both spiritual teachers and the general population who are interested in the kind of work you are doing. This is fertile ground for you. And you are bringing something to this area that is greatly needed and for which people are hungry.

The Bay Area is, in general, a kind of spiritual portal for the astral dimension. This is why it has become a center for spiritual teachers and aspirants alike. The spiritual energy is stronger there than in many places, and people’s spiritual practice and growth tends to be supported more fully there—though, of course, it is possible to practice and grow spiritually anywhere. Nonetheless, there are areas on the Earth where different energies are felt and concentrated, and the Bay Area is such a place for the astral energies.

The astral tends to be more mind-oriented and thus tends to favor the Masculine. That is why many of the more Masculine-oriented teachings, such as the non-dual approach, have flourished in the Bay Area. There is much about these teachings that is true and is helpful to people. But like any teaching that tends to be favoring either the Masculine or the Feminine, it isn’t, in general, complete. The complete spiritual teaching and path that is essential at this time is the union of the Masculine and Feminine. In your world at this time, that will generally require the strengthening of the Feminine, along with the opening of the Masculine to value and support the Feminine, so that both may come into balance, harmony, and ultimately union.

Through receiving my instruction and guidance, you have become a voice and a guide for this shift from a spiritual consciousness that favors the Masculine into a spiritual consciousness that embraces and values the Feminine. And you have a significant role to play in this transformation. The Bay Area is the ideal place for you to spearhead this movement. (Please receive the humor of my using such a Masculine term for the very Feminine dynamic that is being called forth to rise and flower.)

This is why you have been brought here and it is not a mistake. The challenges you are experiencing are part of the process of you shedding your old identity and growing into one that is much larger and expansive, just as your work is growing to a much greater and expanded reach and impact. It parallels, in many ways, the process many others are experiencing of being stretched into a greater spiritual size and dimension, as part of the ascension process. This is your particular form of being stretched and grown. You are becoming a powerful leader for the Feminine.

Just as a woman going through childbirth is encouraged to relax deeply and surrender into the process, so do I recommend this for you in this time. Trust in the process. It is for your highest good and you will be fine.

Thank you for all the trust you have shown to this point and that I know you will continue to show. You are a great example for many of receiving your inner guidance and trusting it to the point of changing your entire life to follow it. Thank you so deeply for this.

I am here with and for you, in love and service. Call on me at any time.

I hold you in my arms of love,

I AM Mary Magdalene

[Afterword from Mercedes: Right after I received this message from Mary I responded to an ad for a rental. The woman called me back immediately and invited me to come see it. We met a few hours later and both really liked each other. She told me that a psychic had recently told her that a woman just like me would be moving into her house. We both agreed that it seemed like a perfect fit and I now have a place to live!]
