Question: I have confusion about how, in terrorist attacks, somebody can pump people full of bullets and then shout: “God is great!” It’s such a distortion. I can’t figure out how anybody could do that.

Mary Magdalene: You must understand the heart of the person who did this. You must understand their training. You must understand their indoctrination. You must understand their pain and their struggles.

Your heart must expand to care as much about the ones who are being labeled “the terrorists” as the ones who are being labeled “the victims.” Your heart must expand to see that they are very little different from you. Of course you may not ever in the slightest way imagine killing someone with weapons or acting in the ways these people act. But you must walk in their shoes. You must understand what has led them to this point and you must, with compassion, open your heart to them.

It may be yours to try to change their circumstance or it may not be yours. Everyone has a different response and a different soul-calling relative to this situation. But everyone is called to love. The root of love is understanding—understanding the soul of that person who ultimately wants the same things that you do. It might be freedom; or access to resources; stability in their world; safety for themselves and their loved ones; opportunity to prosper, to grow, to manifest their dreams; longing for their heart to fulfill its callings…

They are not animals. They are not evil. They are not separate. They are simply responding to their circumstance and training, and doing their best to fulfill their soul’s calling. You must understand how desperate these people are. You must care about their desperation. This is what will change your world. If you do not understand, that is the beginning. Let that move you to find out, to go to the place where you understand how a being could come to this place.

This is the only thing that will ever bring change. Your world will not change until your light expands to include those whose light is not as strong as yours. Again, it does not mean you condone the actions. It does not mean you are passive, although it may not be yours to take active steps. It means that you do the inner work to open your heart to these beings. Otherwise you are the one who will suffer.

Is that helpful?

Questioner: Yes.

Mary Magdalene: This was the meaning of Yeshua’s words, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.” This is what all are called to. But it is not blind forgiveness. It is forgiveness based on deep understanding of the non-separateness between themselves and yourself, the understanding that they have the same needs, the same dreams, the same callings as you. You must understand that they have been deeply frustrated or hurt. and this has made them available to believe what some have put forward as a way out. They are hoping and doing their best, through the means they can see that are available to them, to find their way out of suffering. You must help them with your love and your light to see a greater path.

Is there any more about that you wish to ask?

Questioner: No. Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

Question: In this time of turmoil and negative energy, fighting, killing, and what have you in the world, many times people feel anger or hate even, as a response to what’s going on. When you are affected directly or indirectly, that brings all kinds of emotions. What does Mary have to say about that and how can we deal with that?

Mary Magdalene: Thank you for this question because it is a very important one.

These events that are happening can be seen in many different ways. In one way, they are like a cleansing or a purification to bring out things, so that humans have an opportunity to make a different response. These things have always been going on, or for such a very long time that it may seem like always in your world. It is not new that these things are happening. It is new that they are being reported on a global level and you are hearing about things that you might not have heard about in the past. Because of technology and technological abilities that are available now, they are at times happening on a larger scale, and at times also happening across global borders. So this seems to be affecting you in a new way.

But truly these are things that have been going on for a great deal of the history of humanity in the third dimension. It is a history of power struggles, using power, misusing power, threatening people, indeed going beyond threatening people to harming people, as a way of acquiring power and achieving certain ends.

This is the beginning of the end of this kind of thing. It is the beginning of the end of the third dimension altogether. You could say that this beginning has been going on for quite a while. Yet in terms of the scale of history, it is still quite recent. Even that there are those who can imagine something different happening—this is still quite recent.

In fact, the movement is growing of those who are committed to an end of this way of interacting, this way of determining who has power and who claims the right and the power to have their way, this way of taking away power and rights from others.

Some of the unrest that is happening is a very good thing. It is a sign that there is a growing movement of people who are not accepting this, who are saying “no,” who do not want this. Those who are still trying to use those methods, especially those who have had power and are trying to hold on to their power, many are quite aware that this way is coming to an end. In some ways they are accelerating the use of this kind of force and the misuse of power, because on some level they are aware that they have already lost. So they have nothing to lose. In some ways they are trying to regain their power by upsetting people, disturbing people, and inciting people to have a reaction that causes them to join into the old ways, the old models, the old mind sets of violence, so they can claim whatever goal is desired.

For those who are on the path of light, the path of ascension and change and growing into the higher dimensions, the higher reaches of human evolution, it is up to you to not take the bait, to not be drawn into this fray. Maintain your connection to light and to love, and do not give these people the power to draw you out of that. You still may choose to take certain actions, but be very conscious of what those actions are. If your actions are simply a reaction drawing you into the same kind of violence and destruction of life, then those who initiated have won.

This is a hard-learned lesson for humanity, but it is the sign of the transformation that is going on. You are growing out of this old form, like a moth who has entered the chrysalis and is in the process of becoming a butterfly. You must understand that the ascension process is underway and cannot be stopped at this point. It is simply a question of who will be part of it.

There are those who do not choose to participate, and who do not wish others to know there is any such thing going on. They are doing everything in their power to reinforce the old ways, to distract people, and to attract people into their model. It is like a parting of the Red Sea in a certain way. It is the parting of those who are choosing the ascension path and those who are not yet ready. Those who are not yet ready have their own destiny. They will be served and attended to in the way that befits them and supports them in their process. They, too, are ascending at their own timing.

There are always multiple realities happening simultaneously. The reality being reported by your media, your news, is simply one reality. Oftentimes the media has a very specific agenda that they are promoting. That agenda has everything to do with moving people into fear.

Do what you need to do to maintain yourself in light and love. The more you do this the more your reality will be one of light and love, even as other realities are going on simultaneously. This is not to say that you lose compassion, that you lose your heart-openness and connection to people and what their reality is. Yet it is not necessary for you to assume another’s reality to have compassion and to have a heart connection to them. It is much better to maintain your own reality and allow them to be attracted into that, if that is truly a higher one of light and love.

Is there more about this you wish to understand?

Questioner: No. Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

For those who are affected by violence, you can always send them your blessings and your love, your light. You can always ask your angels to bless them through their angels.

Also know that on some level they have agreed to participate in this way as part of the transformation that is underway, and that they are being helped in whatever way is for their highest good.

Thank you for your caring.

Questioner: Thank you.

Question: What if we find ourselves in different situations and pretty much everything is causing anger. Where to go?

Mary Magdalene: This is probably a sign of a very deep change going on in your life, a very sweeping-of-the-slate kind of change, where you are being called to something very different.

The first step is always to listen, to tune in. What is the anger trying to tell you? There is a message there. It’s trying to help you in some way.

Are you hearing it? Are you aware? Do you know what the message is? Are you giving yourself permission to really receive it and hear it? What would happen if you did?

Questioner: A lot of changes…

Mary Magdalene: It’s scary isn’t it? (Questioner nods.) Yes.

(Mary now shifts to addressing the whole group.)

Thank you so much to all of you. You bless me with the beauty of your hearts, your love, your goodness, and your great desire to contribute and grow. You are a blessing.

Thank you,

I AM Mary Magdalene

Question: Is there a particular age at which it’s appropriate to introduce children to the material you’ve brought forth pertaining to sexuality? We live in a society that introduces children to sex much earlier than a lot of parents would prefer. It creates confusion for parents as to whether to try to explain things to children when they aren’t really ready but are getting information that is confusing them. Do you have any guidance for parents?

Mary Magdalene: Yes.

First of all, the most important thing will always be your demonstration. Your relationship to sexuality will influence your children more than anything—more than what they experience in any other circumstance or through any other form.

What they will be most influenced by is your level of comfort and ease around your own sexuality. As parents, this is a great motivation for doing your own growth work, because you not only do it for yourself. You do it for your children.

Hopefully that can set you to a certain degree of ease, because you can’t control what they are exposed to. I understand the painfulness of not having that control, not having the environment you would like for your children, particularly at certain ages. What might be OK at a later age does not necessarily feel supportive at a younger age.

It is optimal to have an environment where you can talk with your children openly and have these kinds of conversations. This, again, will be very connected to your own comfort level around sexuality. In some ways, having the intention to have these conversations with your children could be a motivation unto itself. The conversations can be a practice arena for opening up your line of communication with your children and expanding in your own comfort zone relative to sexuality.

Certainly if the children initiate with any questions, that’s a wonderful time to engage them in a conversation. But you also may have questions that you could initiate with, gently asking them how they felt about a certain thing, or if something seemed funny or odd or whatever to them. If they are younger, it’s good to make it more playful and light-hearted. If they are older, you don’t want to make a game of it or anything like that. You should be more straightforward with an older child.

It is very healthy to talk about sexuality with children, so talking about what they’re getting exposed to can be an opening. If they’re not ready for it, it will go right over their heads and won’t affect them. If it is affecting them, it’s a sign that they are ready for it.

So let this be an avenue of dialog and conversation for something that they are probably needing anyway.

Is that helpful?

Questioner: Yes.

Mary Magdalene: One of the greatest communications about sexuality that is often made is no communication. When something is not talked about, it’s a very clear communication to children that it’s not acceptable. The more that something can be brought into dialog and talked about, the healthier the child’s relationship to it will be, in general. So that’s very important.

Question: I have a question about partnerships. How does one know when it is time to end a partnership?

Mary Magdalene: If you are in touch with your body and your emotions, that is your greatest guide.

When you are in a circumstance that is no longer serving your highest good and it is no longer your soul’s calling to remain in that circumstance, you will start to have emotions come up that will indicate that you are not on course. You will be resentful. You will most likely be increasingly angry. That is a guide to you, saying, “This isn’t the right circumstance any longer. You need to change.”

Anger is always calling for change. You will start to have anger arise. Depending on your personality and your quality, it might be very subtle. It might be quiet. Or it might be very pronounced. Different people experience anger in different ways. But if you are attuned, you will notice that your body and your emotions are telling you that this is not right, this is not supporting you any longer.

Do you understand that?

Questioner: I do, but if it is more complicated. If you feel that you bring healing to a relationship…

I know anger, frustration… all those things happen in good relationships. And I’ve seen people stay in relationships and obviously they’re not finished with each other. That’s why I’m wondering if there’s a feeling of “I’m done” or “I’m not done.” I think when you really love someone, sometimes you love them more than your feelings.

Mary Magdalene: You must love yourself first.

You cannot override your feelings to love another person.

You love yourself through loving your feelings.

This does not mean you can’t have pain come up in a relationship. You can bring that pain into the relationship and have it embraced by both people, in a way that brings you back into your open-hearted relationship and your open-hearted connection to the relationship.

It sounds like you are in a struggle between your mind and your heart. I don’t know if you are speaking personally, but I assume you are. It sounds like certain of your ideas about relationship are coming from your mind, while other things are coming from your heart, and they are not integrated.

You must be willing to let go of the ideas. The ideas are often based in fear. The ideas are often based on trying to replace God with your relationship, trying to replace God with the other person, whatever it is.

This is not an easy thing to see. It is a spiritual process for many people. Relationships are one of the arenas that this attempt to replace God shows up in, very strongly.

Your world is so attuned to coming from the mind, and you don’t know how to connect with the heart. You don’t know how to be in union with the mind and the heart.

The heart always leads. How can I say this… The natural progression is for the heart to lead. When it’s leading, your rational mind, thinking mind, and subconscious mind will relax and come to peace. It will become in service to the heart. Then your higher mind will open up.

This is truly what your heart is meant to be—in union with your higher mind. What you might call the lower mind (your thinking and subconscious mind) is a supportive function. But for most of you it has taken over the kingdom. And it is not serving you for that to be so.

This can show up in your relationships, as well as in most any realm.

What is called for is a process of allowing your heart to become strong and full, so that your mind can relax and let go into the heart.

Questioner: Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

Questioner (from the audience): I’m about to go on a quest to Glastonbury, Wales, Ireland, and Provence in France. It’s a very strong pull that I feel and I haven’t felt something like this before. When I tried to resist I got sick. I’m practicing emptiness and surrender to my intuition and listening to my soul, not to my mind. It’s a lot of transformation.

Mary Magdalene: It seems your soul is guiding you very clearly. Are you wanting to understand more with your mind what is going on?

Questioner: Maybe, yes. I’m entering the unknown. It’s exciting, but at the same time it’s scary. I think it would be helpful to have some more information, so I can trust more.

Mary Magdalene: Information is a great impediment.

Questioner: Maybe I needed to hear that.

Mary Magdalene: Truly, you have been protected from information for a very particular reason. It is not in your highest good to fill your mind with ideas. Go as the empty vessel and receive directly from Spirit. This is what you are being called to.

You can trust. You have already seen what happens when you don’t trust. Allow yourself to go with what’s happening. You are right on course. Everything you need will be given. Do not try to find it in an external way or seek it through your mind. Let it come through your experience directly. Then it will be pure.

Questioner: Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.
