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.

Mary Magdalene: Many of you are cut off from your emotions. You have distanced yourself from your emotions, to the point that most of the time you do not know what you feel.

I do not blame you for this. It was the greatest wisdom you knew how to bring to the situation. This distancing was often learned when you were very young and were being taught by others who had learned to distance themselves from emotions. You did what you thought was being asked of you, and to be accepted and loved by the ones you depended on.

I am glad that you were able to survive. Yet I am sad that for so many it has come at a tremendous cost of being cut off from a huge part of yourself—your feeling being—and that you were redirected to live from your mind.

Even those who are your spiritual sensitives tend to be spiritually sensitive to the higher realms. But many of you do not live in connection with the emotional realm or the physical realm. Or if you do, it may be a place of pain for you.

I am suggesting a very different path. I am not a martyr. I am not calling you to be a martyr, to put yourself in a place of pain for spiritual growth or to lead you to a higher spiritual place. This is not what I am suggesting.

I am suggesting it is safe to allow your feelings, including your painful feelings—your fear, your sadness, and many others. But fear and sadness are the two that are at the root of beings who are manifesting in the third dimension. Until you learn the pathway that begins with acceptance and trust of these emotions, you will not have completed your work here at the third dimension and what you came to realize. In general, you will remain in the third dimension until you are open to that.

There is a great logic, a great system to this process that all of you are involved in. Many are understanding parts of it, yet there are parts that many of you are not yet clear on. There is a great desire on the part of many to progress to the higher dimensions, which I certainly can understand. Yet it will not serve you if you have not completed what you came to do and what you need from the present dimension.

If you are manifesting in the third dimension, it is because it is necessary. It is not a mistake and, in general, it is not because you came to serve others. You came because it was necessary for your soul growth. Those who come to serve others do not take the position of “I am here to serve others”. They take the position of gratitude for their communion with God.

I urge you to understand the preciousness of every moment, to understand the tremendous forces that are at work in your world to distract you from your opportunity in every moment. Every moment you have the opportunity to do the work you came into physical manifestation to do: the work of knowing your body is a temple; of opening to your emotions as pathways to God; of embracing your energies, including your sexual energies, as an alchemical process within you that is opening you to the mysteries of God; to know what it is to be in the heart of a physical body.

And then from there to know the majesty of the higher Masculine, and to know the ecstasy of union between the higher Feminine and Masculine. This is such an opportunity that you all have! There are so many beings that do not have the opportunity that you have.

There are those who do not want you to have this opportunity. They have steered you toward your mind to distract you. Many of you are aware of many distractions in your world that pull you into this mind space: your technology, your media, your “this” and “that.” The pull you feel toward your mind is strong because of the indoctrination you have gotten from such a young age that keeps you in your mind. That indoctrination is reinforced through your education and through so many structures in your world. And you reinforce it with each other all the time through your speech.

All of this support for living in your mind has been created and it is for a purpose. But it is not supporting you. It is not supporting your heart. It is not supporting your higher mind. It is not supporting your union with God.

My great desire is that you become aware of this and begin to make different choices. By your strength, by what you model, others will see the possibility of this different choice and will come to join you. You will become stronger, you will become brighter, you will become more full of love. And the path will become more and more clear for many. This would be the fruition of the work that we did. This is my great hope and desire and blessing.

Mary Magdalene: Each of you have your own inner Masculine and Feminine. We’re not referring to men or women as a gender, because all men and women have their Masculine and Feminine within. We’re addressing all gendered beings, understanding that everyone has their Masculine and Feminine. You may be more in touch with one, or less in touch with the other, but you all have your Masculine and Feminine.

There is a more ordinary sense of the Masculine and Feminine that many of you are familiar with. But there is a higher form, or what you might call an exalted form. That is when you’re connecting to your sacred Masculine or Feminine, your Divine Masculine and Feminine.

The sacred Masculine, or Divine Masculine, is really the quality of pure transcendence. It’s what you might call transcendental being. It is prior to space and time. It’s prior to all manifestation. It has a kind of complete purity about it.

One way of understanding the pure quality of the Divine Masculine—which many of you have experienced—is that it’s what people seek to experience in meditation. Some people describe this state as peace, quiet, or stillness.

In various of your spiritual traditions there have been references or names given to this state, such as “the Self,” “the witness,” or “witness consciousness.” These are some of the references people are familiar with for the Divine Masculine. I’m not thinking of other names in this moment but I’m sure you are familiar with them.

The Eastern traditions, and in particular traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, have very much focused on this aspect of the divine (the transcendental or Divine Masculine aspect) as something to attain. Oftentimes these traditions have tried to support people in connecting with the Divine Masculine by suggesting that people only connect with the Divine Masculine, and not connect with the Divine Feminine. We’re suggesting something different. Nonetheless, these traditions have been a great support for people in connecting with the quality of the Divine Masculine and reaching the transcendent.

Question: Why is uniting the Masculine and Feminine important?

Mary Magdalene: We have spoken about this a great deal in the past. Yet we know that this is something that is new for many people and there may be people who have not heard what we have said in the past. So we are happy to explain, as best we can, in a way that will work for all.

The first thing to understand is that uniting the Masculine and Feminine takes place on so many levels. When we talk about the union of the Masculine and Feminine, we’re talking about a very multi-level, multi-dimensional process. First and foremost, we’re talking about receiving the divine in its fullest form. We’re talking about relating to the divine—and to God as a name for the divine—as both Masculine and Feminine, completely in union with each other.

This is very familiar to some of you. To some of you it is less familiar. One example in your world is the yin-yang symbol, which conveys the idea that everything is the union of Masculine and Feminine. This includes everything in manifestation, and everything in the higher dimensions, all the way up to the pure expression of the divine in its source form. Everything is the Masculine and the Feminine.

Yet for a very, very long period of time there has been a bias in your world toward the Masculine and a suppression of the Feminine, such that many of you, without even realizing it, are tending to be imbalanced.

For the most part, you who are incarnating on the Earth at this time are tending to be more oriented towards the Masculine, both outside of yourself and within yourself. And you are tending to be less connected to the Feminine.

Even among those of you who think you are connected to the Feminine, oftentimes there are ways that your programming has affected you. You may not even realize it, yet you are still coming from a more Masculine orientation.

Part of our work at this time is to help people understand how you are still being affected by this program that has been running on the Earth for so long of obscuring the Feminine and presenting things in a predominantly Masculine way. For example, in your spirituality many of you have been taught to relate to God in a Masculine way, such that you hear the word “God” as meaning Masculine, which it does not. It means the Masculine and Feminine divine. Of course it is just a word and everyone relates to words differently. Most likely when you hear that word it will bring up whatever your programming is. If you have been programmed to relate to God as Masculine, then when you hear the word “God,” you will very likely think of a Masculine being.

In fact, God is neither Masculine nor Feminine. It is also true that God is completely Masculine and completely Feminine. All of those are true and there is no conflict between any of them. As you evolve in your spiritual consciousness, this will become more and more clear, and more and more simple to all of you. Depending on each individual and their process, this may now be more or less clear, more or less simple or complex. We hope to help you with this understanding because this is a very important part of the ascension process.

When we talk about the ascension process, we’re talking about a grand transition that beings on Earth and the Earth itself are in the process of right now. This process involves moving into the higher dimensions, beginning with the fourth dimension. Part of what is going to allow all of you to make this transition is through uniting the Masculine and Feminine. You might say it is a prerequisite.

Another way to look at it is that accomplishing the uniting of the Masculine and Feminine is your gateway for this transition to the fourth dimension. And first and foremost, this uniting happens within each one of you. That is the most important place for this union to happen.

Question: Mary, whenever I tune into my emotions it seems to me there’s always some sort of pain there. I find it difficult doing the process you have brought to us because it’s time-consuming and there’s always something there. I wonder if I’m picking up pain from somewhere or somebody else.

Mary Magdalene: You may need support for working with this pain.

You certainly can be in choice about when you choose to do this process. At other times, when you’re not choosing to engage this process, you can ask that you be supported in being available for what you need then—whether it’s free attention for your work, emotional peace, or simply to be functional. You certainly can ask.

Many of you have this question: “Am I picking this up from others or is this mine?”

It is always yours.

Accepting this is one of the great challenges of the third dimension. It is also one of the gateways beyond the third dimension.

In the third dimension there is a duality of “mine” and “not mine,” me and everyone or everything else. This duality is a great limit. At some point it will become clear to you it is all yours. There is nothing that is not yours. There is nothing that is not you. But this will be a realization; it won’t be an idea. You can’t believe yourself into this and have it be productive. If you try to come from belief, you will be suppressing yourself and it will actually inhibit your spiritual growth more than it will support it.

The way through is to make an assumption that it is always yours. This is the most direct path. It is also the most empowered path because you are always empowered to work with yourself.

Many of you are familiar with a modern version of a Hawaiian healing practice that was put forth in the last decades. This modern version involved taking 100% responsibility for everything that happens as your own creation. This is a valuable spiritual practice.

This practice of taking 100% responsibility must always be done with feeling. If it becomes a burden or a stick you are beating yourself with, it is not supporting you. That is a sign that it is not the practice you need at this time. You need a different practice. This may be a valuable form of practice for periods of time or it may not be, but the understanding behind it is quite valuable.

Always begin with yourself.

This is the creation process. As you move into the fourth dimension you are becoming more conscious creators. In your third-dimensional world, you can lay the foundation for this by assuming that all that you experience is your creation. Then you can work with yourself relative to that creation. Are you happy with the creation? Do you wish to change that creation? What is holding you to that creation? What are your blocks to what you would like the creation to be? This is the beginning. It is a shift into full responsibility, full ownership for what is manifesting.

Many of you are very locked into third-dimensional thinking. I do not say this as a judgment. It is simply the way you have been trained. It is simply what has been most prevalent in your world for most of you. There is a tendency associated with third-dimensional consciousness to connect responsibility with blame. You tend to think that if you are responsible that means it’s your fault. You think you have done something wrong and the corollary is you’d better fix it. All of this is what is to be purified.

It is not a blame of you that you are experiencing whatever you are experiencing. It is not some higher authority angry at you and demanding that you change it—not even the higher authority of your internal mind and brain that you may have created for yourself.

It is so important to start with the Feminine. The connection to your body, emotions, and sexuality is so important, because this is what will open your heart. Without that heart opening it is almost inevitable that the development of your mind will turn into rightness and wrongness, blame, judgment, harshness, pain, wounding.

So begin with the basics just as a child begins with the basics. Begin with loving your body. Begin with loving your sexuality and emotions. If you need help with processing the painful emotions which must also be loved and included—because they are there for your help, also—get the help that you need. Get the support that you need. Then it will become easeful. It will become natural if you make a commitment to it.

Most of you are going through a great process of shedding the training you have received, the consciousness you have received, the habits you have received. There is work involved in that. It is a practice and it requires your intention and energy to do it. Pray and ask for help. Pray and ask for what you need. It will be given.

Know that you are doing very, very well.

Questioner: Thank you.

Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.
