[Note from Mercedes: This channeling is addressed to me personally, but the message is universal.]

Blessings Dear One,

This is Mary Magdalene. I’m responding to your call for help in processing what you witnessed in the recent Judicial Committee hearings with testimony by Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh.

I understand that it was very difficult for you to watch what occurred because it stirred up great pain for you. You had memories evoked of the kinds of trials of women that occurred in the Inquisition. You had memories evoked of your own sexual assault. And you also felt the pain of your cultures’s orientation toward women: the discounting, the suspicion, and the double standard between the way men and women are related to.

I am aware that you have done much work to heal your pain since the Senate hearing and I acknowledge and commend you for that.

Part of what came up for you through your healing process afterward was the awareness that humans, in general, have played all roles in their many incarnations. This caused you to be aware that in other incarnations, you had probably taken the role that privileged men in your culture are now taking. This led you to consider what would cause someone to act in that way toward women, or toward any group of people.

You accurately identified that being driven to uphold and maintain power comes from fear. There is fear on the part of the privileged group of what might happen to them if they lost the power that they currently hold.

This fear, which is driving many at this time, and particularly men, to treat women in the way that they do is what I wish to speak about.

There is generally the assumption among men in the privileged position that they would be treated poorly if they lost their privilege, just as they have treated others poorly. There is fear that they would not have enough, either to thrive and be happy or perhaps even to survive.

Underneath this is an even deeper fear. It is fear of the Feminine itself. Ultimately it is fear of the Feminine within themselves. It’s a fear of their own feelings and tender side. A fear of their own vulnerability. A fear of their own heart.

This fear drives them to try to cover up that vulnerability, that tenderness, those feelings. So they act as though they do not have these things. That was the display you saw in the second half of the hearings, first from Judge Kavanaugh and later from the Republican senators, all of whom made a dramatic display of their righteous anger at the “villains” (the women and Democrats) who they asserted have so wronged them. But you, Mercedes, and probably many others, felt a lack of authenticity in what they were portraying. There was a nervousness behind it all, a desperation.

That was their fear of the Feminine, the Feminine that comes from the feeling heart and whose heart knows the truth. Feminine feeling and heart is strong, and that strength is part of what men who fear the Feminine are aware of. Dr. Ford was strong in her admission of being terrified. Judge Kavanaugh was not able to meet her in that strength, and instead attempted to use aggression to deflect from his lack of strength.

There is an inconsistency in this that is not understood. Those who fear the Feminine realize the Feminine’s strength. Yet they mistakenly assume that opening to their own Feminine will make them weak. So they cut off from their inner Feminine and compensate through an outward show of force. This is what happened at the hearings.

What would happen if they opened to their Feminine? They would start to feel and be informed by feeling. A feeling person cannot treat another person as “less-than.” A feeling person who has injured another person feels this and is disturbed by it. That disturbance motivates the one who carried out the injury to make amends. This is the basis of emotional responsibility.

The question for all of you at this time, beyond the immediate situation of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination, is this: How can it become safe for men to open to their Feminine aspect?

You see, the women’s movement empowered women to open to their Masculine side. And now it is time for men to open to their Feminine side. Certainly some men are already doing this, but many are not, especially those who have been in the dominant role in terms of holding power in your society.

The biggest way that women can step into the leadership position at this time and support this next step will not be by telling men what they must do. That would be coming from their Masculine and most men do not want to receive from a woman in her Masculine.

Rather, women must demonstrate to men what it is to open to feeling, just as Dr. Ford did when she expressed her terror of testifying and her fear during the original incident. You must show your feelings, especially when you’re experiencing emotional pain, and do this without crossing the line into blaming others for those feelings. Saying what happened isn’t blame. Blame is where you seek to punish or hurt others because of your pain. Dr. Ford did an excellent job of demonstrating this. She revealed her experiences and feelings, without going into an overlay of power by directing anger or blame at others.

Beyond expressing and showing feelings, women can support men in opening up to their Feminine side by guessing what men are feeling. This is using women’s emotional intelligence to help men identify their feelings, because men often aren’t aware of what they’re feeling. It is important to do this sensitively and respectfully. This can be done through asking if such-and-such is what someone is feeling, rather than telling them that this is what’s going on with them (which puts the “teller” in the position of being the authority over them through knowing more about what’s going on with them than they do).

These two things—demonstrating your own feelings and helping men to identify their feelings—can make a world of difference in supporting men in feeling safe to open to their Feminine. And this will change your world.

This isn’t a magic wand that will change things overnight. You are undoing thousands of years of programming. But it can happen extremely quickly in the big picture of things. This is the greatest power that women have. But most aren’t yet aware of this or skilled at using it. Most are still trying to use their mind to change things. But that’s not where this change will come from.

I want to address something else about what so many women experienced in watching the hearings. The majority of women in your world today have been sexually violated or assaulted in some way. Because of this, many women experienced a very personal kind of pain in watching the hearings. It brought up their own pain from their experiences, which have not fully healed.

For many who are abused or assaulted, there is often an initial survival instinct that occurs of blocking out what happened, both functionally and emotionally. Over time this blocking out becomes a habit which turns into suppression. But the memories and pain will break through this suppression at times. One of those times is when hearing someone else describe a similar situation, especially if it’s done in a vulnerable and feeling way.

This is what happened for many women in listening to Dr. Ford recount her trauma. It allowed their own trauma to come forward and be felt in a deeper, fuller way.

In such a situation, I strongly urge any woman (or man, for that matter) who is feeling their own pain being stimulated, to allow themselves to feel it. This is what I call grieving. It is to fully feel one’s emotional pain. Until this is done, full healing won’t occur.

This is not easy for most people because most people at this time have been taught not to feel their pain. This is actually very damaging to people because it prevents healing from occurring. Allowing the emotional pain to be felt will inevitably lead to healing.

So for anyone watching the hearings who had this reaction, I urge you to allow yourself to grieve and heal your own pain. Do this before you make any attempts to change what’s happening, either in the hearings for the Supreme Court position, or in the interplay between men and women in general. Take care of yourself first, however long that takes. When that is complete and healed, then you can consider contributing to changing your world, if that’s right for you.

There are many ways to contribute to changing the world. It is a very individual process and choice. But all of you will benefit from opening to your Feminine—women and men. And women are likely to be the leaders in this. Most women have a ways to go before they’re fully acting out of their own Feminine. This means showing their feelings and allowing that to be enough, without going into the mind with analysis or bringing anger and blame.

Your world is shifting from head to heart. Feelings are the key to this shift. Find the key and make use of it. This is what I recommend.

In great love and care,
I AM Mary Magdalene

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.

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.

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.
