Question: I’m wondering if you could provide some guidance relative to how to deal with the difficulties that are around us sometimes—how to release frustration, anxiety, anger, fear, and some of the negative aspects that come up in our day to day activities, so they don’t go deeper and become larger issues and larger problems.

Mary Magdalene: It is not what you think. The process of release happens through embrace.

These events are always personal, even though they may be connected to very large-scale events or occurrences. The process through which you will experience the release you desire is to take in the feeling, the pain.

Sometimes there is a preliminary step, if there are judgments involved. The preliminary step is to separate out the judgments, which is simply done by bringing them to consciousness. Many in the spiritual world try not to be judgmental, when actually what would help more would be to do what may seem like the reverse. It’s not to try to be judgmental. Rather it is to notice and be aware of your judgments, and then notice that the judgments are always connected with feelings. The judgments mask the feelings. To get in touch with the feelings, your need to bring the judgments to consciousness.

Oftentimes the most direct way of doing this is simply to say the judgments out loud or write them down. This makes the judgment concrete and creates awareness of the difference between the judgment and the feeling. Then you can go to the feeling.

The judgments are simply you trying to protect yourself. That’s all they are. You can say to that part of yourself, “Thank you for trying to protect me. I’m safe.” Then go to what’s below the judgment, the feeling.

In the kind of situations you’re describing, the feelings will be some form of pain: fear, sorrow, confusion, those kind of feelings—some kind of pain. You want to open to the pain, just as I was speaking earlier to another gentleman, because in that pain is the seed of your healing. It’s the seed of the freedom you seek. You will find it through your pain. The pain is a gift. It is not a block. It’s not something obstructing you. It’s actually your pathway.

There are two different ways of opening to pain. One or the other may be strong for different types of people at different times. One is the simpler process, you might call it the more Feminine process, of simply opening to the pain and asking God to guide you.

There is another process that is equally effective. This process is one that you guide yourself through. It begins with opening to the pain, and leads you to the source of the pain within yourself.

Perhaps you could give me an example and I could show you the second process through this example. Is there an example you could give at this time?

Questioner: We see a lot of terrible things going on in the world. What do we do with the anger or frustration we might feel because of that?

Mary Magdalene: Can you think of one of these things right now?

Questioner: The tragedies in Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan.

Mary Magdalene: Yes, the situation in the Middle East and the immensely inhuman events that you hear taking place. What is your reaction to that? What comes up for you?

Questioner: Why is it not apparent to so many people that we are all one and that war upon another is war upon oneself.

Mary Magdalene: When you have this question come up, is it linked to an emotion, a feeling within yourself?

Questioner: I would say it’s frustration, probably anger: Why are we doing this to each other?

Mary Magdalene: Which feels stronger in this moment, frustration or anger?

Questioner: If I had to pick one, I might say anger.

Mary Magdalene: Anger is one of the circumstances where there’s a mixture going on of judgment and feeling. Are you aware of the judgments that you’re having about this situation right now?

Questioner: Probably thoughts I’m having about right and wrong, perhaps.

Mary Magdalene: That it’s wrong?

Questioner: Yes.

Mary Magdalene: That it shouldn’t be happening?

Questioner: Definitely.

Mary Magdalene: Anything else?

Questioner: Just the horrifying things we keep doing to each other over there. Taking in what we hear daily can’t be good for us.

Mary Magdalene: So you’re thinking “This is horrifying. This is bad for us.”

Questioner: Yeah.

Mary Magdalene: If you take those judgments and set them to the side, is there a different feeling that comes up for you then?

Questioner: I might go back to your earlier comments that everyone involved in these situations is there, to a certain extent, through their own choice. So we do have to allow that to play out to a certain level, I guess.

Mary Magdalene: That is different from what I’m asking. That is more of a thought or a belief. What I’m asking is: Can you connect with the feelings that are stimulated in you when you set aside the judgments you’re having?

Questioner: I’m not quite sure how to respond. If I set aside “this is right or this is wrong,” there’s still some frustration as to “Why is this taking place? Why can’t people recognize the real truth here?”

Mary Magdalene: I’m wondering if the feeling you’re having is something like anguish?

Questioner: That’s a good word. Yes.

Mary Magdalene: What I would invite you to do is to open yourself to the anguish, to have the full experience of allowing the anguish to be felt within you, completely.

Questioner: So you’re saying that would be a way of releasing the anguish?

Mary Magdalene: It is the first step. Then you have a choice. From that place, you have a choice of calling on God and asking God to guide you. Or you have another choice, which is to go to the source of that anguish. That source will be something that I call your inner divine quality or qualities, some part of your inner divinity that is not being fulfilled in this circumstance.

In this situation, the inner divine qualities might be something like love, safety, or protection of life. Do any of those resonate for you?

Questioner: Yes, they do.

Mary Magdalene: Let the anguish take you to this part of yourself.

What’s actually happened is that you have gotten disconnected from your own divinity by the shock of these events. What the anguish, the emotion, does is that it takes you back to the place where you can connect with your own divinity, the part of you that knows safety, that knows love, that knows protection of life.

Simply by becoming conscious of what’s at the source, you are reconnecting with that part of yourself. In this case, it’s the part of you that knows safety, love, and protection of life. That reconnection is where the healing happens.

Questioner: Thank you. That’s a lot to think about.

Mary Magdalene: You are very welcome.

[NOTE: This question was asked after someone had received a transmission of Mary Magdalene’s blessing, which was given through Mercedes Kirkel at a group channeling occasion.]

Question: In the last few years, I’ve spent a time of being in a different state. I’m seeing things more and more in this way, and I’m coming to prefer that space. How do I allow that to happen even more? Just now, after I received your transmission, first my crown opened. Then an energy came in and was going around me and I just felt shimmers. How do I increase that?

Mary Magdalene: There are processes that you can learn that will strengthen your ability to do this. Practicing these processes will strengthen the pathways within you that open you to that experience. Such practice will allow you to access this state more frequently and for longer periods of time, depending upon your frequency of practice or engagement. So I would recommend that you learn those practices.

It sounds to me that you are describing a fourth-dimensional space, which is similar to the dreamtime space. The dreamtime space is one way of accessing the fourth-dimensional space. Accessing this space requires the strengthening of four bodies: the physical, emotional, mental, and etheric (or energy) bodies.

Most of you are quite fully developed at the mental level and further development of the mind is not an issue for you—other than learning how to quiet the mind, which oftentimes happens quite organically through strengthening the other bodies. The ongoing talk, chatter, or disturbance that many people experience through the mind is more of a symptom of the other bodies not being strong and not being in balance, rather than a problem with the mind itself.

Most people are aware of their physical body and what they need to do to support themselves physically, possibly involving some kind of change or healing of the physical. The one area that many people still need to address is the area of shame relative to the physical body: not liking one’s physical body; not wanting to be in a physical body; or not wanting to have the experiences of being a physical body. This kind of shame creates a certain level of separation, or even divorce from one’s physical body. That is an area of healing for many people.

For most people at this time, the emotional and the etheric bodies are the two bodies that most need strengthening. In the instructions I gave in Mary Magdalene Beckons, there is a great deal of focus on the emotional body and what would help to strengthen that. That instruction may be valuable for you, to consider if there is more to do there.

The kinds of processes that I am suggesting are valuable to learn for strengthening your access to the fourth dimension are etheric energy processes. Through engaging these processes, you can consciously choose to open yourself to the fourth-dimensional state and strengthen your ability to remain in that state for longer and longer periods of time. I suggest that would be something of value to explore.

Some of the processes I recommend are connecting the sacred heart and sacred mind; opening up the pineal chakra; learning to open your third eye; activating your merkaba; and activating the light that creates the halo around the head. These are processes that used to be taught and practiced in the mystery schools, so that beings could move between dimensions—between the third and fourth dimension, and higher dimensions beyond.

This is not so outwardly accessible in your time. But there are those who offer it and teach it. It is available. This is what I would recommend you learn and engage.

Questioner: Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

Question: When I feel my heart opening, sometimes I’ll start coughing. I have the feeling that something isn’t so open in my throat chakra. I would like to know what that’s about and see if there’s something I need to work on.

Mary Magdalene: This is something that many people experience, though it might manifest in different ways.

In general, when there’s a blockage at the throat chakra, it’s a sign of suppression of your voice, your expression, your speech in some form or other. Many people have a history or past where they were told, perhaps as children, to be quiet and to not express themselves in some way. It could have been from parents, or school, or from many “corners.” So that may be involved.

Regardless of where it came from, the healing can be done in the present. It’s not necessary to return back to the source or even to understand the source. The source may not even be in this lifetime. It may be from previous lifetimes.

You can do all the things that are available for any kind of healing. First and foremost, I recommend that you pray. Ask for healing, for clarity of anything you need to understand about this, for guidance of what you need to do relative to this. That would be most valuable.

With the throat, in general, you can simply practice expression. Practice speaking up, when you notice yourself holding back. Or perhaps it involves a different type of expression. Perhaps it’s about expression of your work or your creative energy, your creativity and creative force coming through. You can practice those different forms of expression and see if that changes your experience.

You can certainly receive healing from others relative to your throat and your throat chakra.

Questioner: I’m very creative. I write and I speak, often too much! But there’s this other part, this kind of divine voice that comes through. It feels like it’s that voice that wants to be expressed. And I do want to express it. It comes through often. But I think it’s asking for more.

Mary Magdalene: It may need more space. It may need some setting aside of some of the other forms of expression, so that there is openness for this voice.

Questioner: Yes. I think I need that. Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

Question: I have two questions about soul purpose. The first one is: Did you always know your soul purpose? The second one is: How do we know what our soul purpose is? I know there are signs and gifts that we receive, but I feel like I’m still in the waiting room.

Mary Magdalene: Relative to your first question, “always” is a very long time. (long space of silence) As far back as I can reach, I have known my soul purpose.

Relative to your second question, not knowing your soul purpose is a sign of not being in your heart. The foundation of not being in your heart is being divorced from your body, fundamentally, as well as your sexuality and your emotions. This is a very contemporary problem.

What will help you is to know yourself through these vehicles—through your body, through your sexuality and really your energy system, and through your emotions. And the thing that tells you more than anything is your passion. What do you have passion for? This is a sign of your soul path, your soul purpose. It is a sad state that so many people are not in touch with their passion. It’s a sign that something has gotten shut down.

When you find your soul path, a team of wild horses couldn’t keep you from it. So look for the signs; look for the little corners. Look for something that gives you joy. Look for something that gives you energy. Look for something that you do even when you’re tired, even when you’re sick, even when you’re supposed to be doing something else. (She laughs gently.) Find your passion. And that will point you to your soul purpose.

Is that helpful?

Questioner: (emphatically) It is.
