MY VISION FOR THE COMING TIMES
By Mercedes Kirkel
Hello friends,
As we enter 2017, I’m holding a vision of greater things ahead and a growing community of awakened beings responding to the call for humanity’s evolution.
My vision is rooted in the guidance I’ve received from Mary Magdalene and Yeshua. They’ve given a very specific teaching, specifically for this time, to support all of our spiritual transformation. More than anything else, it’s about uniting the Masculine and Feminine as the gateway to higher consciousness.
This uniting of the Masculine and Feminine will occur through individuals doing transformational work on their inner Masculine and Feminine. This will then be reflected in the “outer world” of our collective manifestation, as consciousness is always creating our “outer” reality.
The first phase of the Magdalene-Yeshua teaching has been to strengthen the Feminine in all of us. This strengthening of the Feminine allows a shift to occur.
The shift is FROM mind-based living that excludes the heart TO heart-centered living that’s in union with the mind.
Let me say that again, for emphasis:
WE’RE SHIFTING FROM:
Mind-based living that excludes the heart.
TO:
Heart-centered living that’s in union with the mind.
That’s a really important shift that we’re all in the process of making.
A part of this shift involves us fulfilling our cosmic role as humans of becoming emotional masters. As emotional masters, we will transform our 3D habit of projecting our pain into blame, judgment, aggression, and separation. Instead we will embrace and value all emotions—including painful emotions—as pathways to God-connection, true healing, and transformation.
All this will allow us to become spiritual co-creators for the highest good of all. We will go beyond dependence and independence, into interdependence.
The strengthening of the Feminine will also involve:
- healing any shame we carry relative to our bodies and sexuality
- developing our light body, which includes practicing sacred sexuality
The sign of the work of strengthening the Feminine being fulfilled is that we will be able to live from our hearts, consistently and continuously.
Then the next phase can begin. This is the phase of the Feminine loving the Masculine into its greatness. This includes the healing of the Masculine, but it’s much more than that. It’s ultimately about supporting the Masculine into its fully exalted role.
This is what is meant by the Feminine taking the lead at this time. It is not a lead like Joan of Arc or a general leading the troops, for that is the Masculine way of leading.
The Feminine leads through love—sharing her awakened gifts of emotional mastery, energetic aliveness, sacred sexuality, love of the body, and love of all forms of manifestation/creation. Ultimately she is sharing her radiant heart.
The love of the Feminine is the food the Masculine needs to open its heart to God. In that God-connection, the Masculine is transformed from the lower Masculine of action and goal accomplishment that’s separate from the heart and higher mind. The exalted Masculine lives as awakened consciousness, honoring and protecting the Feminine, guiding the Feminine through enlightened wisdom, and acting in service to the united Masculine-Feminine.
One of the strongest examples I see of the exalted Masculine at the present time is the Native American water protectors at Standing Rock, North Dakota. This applies to both the men and women who have taken up this role. Of course this is a generalization and each individual is manifesting their exalted Masculine to a greater or lesser degree. But as a generalization it’s helpful, because it provides an in-life example.
The water protectors at Standing Rocking are embodying the awakened Masculine through their tremendous love of the Feminine in the form of the Earth, and specifically through the element of water. They are demonstrating
- the honoring and protecting of the Feminine (the water)
- bringing enlightened wisdom to the Feminine through their vision, understanding, and prayer
- following this up with action
This is just one example of how the exalted Masculine may manifest.
I believe the higher Masculine and Feminine, in union with each other, is our destiny. And we’ve been given tools and guidance to get there through Mary Magdalene’s and Yeshua’s teaching.
Because of this, I continue to share Mary’s and Yeshua’s teachings through online courses, books, retreats, my weekly newsletter and blog, and private sessions.
And now I see the next phase beginning of creating a physical spiritual center with a community of people dedicated to manifesting this teaching with each other. Ultimately, I see this expanding out to a global community, which has already begun, thanks to the sharing of the teaching I’ve received around the world.
I believe in this vision and invite you to join me in it. You can learn more at www.mercedeskirkel.com.
Heart blessings,

MARY MAGDALENE: Healing Body Shame
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I have a question about the process that occurs when we heal the deeper wounds of our inner Masculine and Feminine, which I understand allows a natural union to take place. Could you speak of what that union may be like?
Mary Magdalene: This is where you are all being led. This union is a tremendous ecstasy.
It is why you are willing to do the healing of the Masculine and Feminine. Many of you—probably all of you—have had a certain degree of experiencing this union for glimpses or periods of time. This motivates you to have that union become your ongoing reality.
The healing of the inner Feminine and Masculine depends on where your wounding is, how much wounding there is, and what is being blocked. So the course will be different, depending on all of that. It also depends how much mastery there is, primarily of the first three chakras, and how much more mastery is required.
Many of you have been given a tremendous amount of training in the third chakra. The part of your world that doesn’t include the spiritual, which is separated from the spiritual, which you might call “non-spiritual,” is very dedicated to the arenas involved in the third chakra and third chakra mastery. This includes the lower mind, will, intention, and power. Most of you have been given access to tremendous tools in these areas. You may be at different places relative to your own personal mastery and completion of that work, but most of you are very in touch with the process of achieving mastery relative to the third chakra. You’re clear about what it is and understand how to access the help you need for completing your mastery at that level.
The first and second chakras are much less developed for many of you. And the way to mastery is much less clear.
The first chakra is the chakra of the physical body. Mastery of this chakra is not just about becoming healed in your physical body, although that is certainly part of it (if there is physical healing to do). It is also not just about becoming strong and competent in your physical body, although that can certainly be supportive. It is mostly about relating to your body as a temple. For many of you, a key aspect of this is healing shame that you carry relative to your body.
If you are ever in a circumstance of being without clothing—clothed by God—for many of you, this brings up pain and conflict. For many of you, having others see you in your physical body, not in clothing but simply in your physical body, is difficult. This is a sign of the shame you carry.
This shame relative to your body is a great block. For many, it’s connected to deep wounding. This is the level that many of you have not yet completed. When it’s completed your relationship to your body can be completely sacred, where you see your body as every bit as divine as anything else you hold as sacred. You see it manifesting God every bit as as much as you relate to me manifesting God, or Yeshua, or any being who you see God in.
You must see that in yourself as well. As you see it in yourself, you will start to see it in all. It is inevitable. This is a place of completion for many of you, where you have more work to do to attain the mastery that is required.
Many of you in your world spend a great deal of time trying to create an image of yourself that you feel happy with, whether it’s through your hair, makeup, clothing, jewelry, shoes…. This tends to be more true of women than of men, but it is not always the case. There are many aspects to this that actually consume quite a bit of energy for many of you. If you contemplate going without this, letting go of this, you will notice there is often fear there—fear of being loved, fear of being accepted, even fear of being included in your world. All of this is a sign there is healing to do.
Beauty is a wonderful thing. Adorning your body is a wonderful thing. It is not that I am calling you to be ascetics or to go with nothing, although that is certainly a possibility, if that feels most supportive to you. But that is not my primary message.
My primary message is to let the beauty that you adorn your body with come out of joy. Let it express the joy of your God connection. Let it come out of the joy of adorning your temple—as opposed to shame and fear, or trying to cover up something that is not good enough, not lovable, not acceptable.
I have great sadness that so many feel this kind of shame in relation to their bodies. I see all of physical manifestation as tremendously beautiful. All of it carries the creation of God, the manifestation of God in form.
I am not calling you to be joyful from your mind as a belief. I am calling you to do this through your body and emotions, to heal whatever may be a block to that joy.
An example of this might be a very young child—often before the age of five, and perhaps younger than that—who has a naturalness, a love of their body as an extension of the physical world. This is not based on an idea in their mind that they should love their body, that it is the spiritual thing to do to love their body, that their body is God. Their mind doesn’t tend to be that developed at that stage. It is a very natural physical response, which all of you had until you received other messages and training.
The messages and training that many of you received about your body created a tremendous spiritual blockage. You came here to experience physical reality, to experience manifestation in a physical body. This is a part of your path, to embrace the physical and merge with it as pure God-communion.

YESHUA: The Spiritual Process of Incarnating on Earth
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Yeshua: This is Yeshua speaking.
From the Masculine point of view, nothing is more wonderful than abiding as pure consciousness.
From the Masculine point of view, there is absolutely no difference between the pure Feminine, absolute love, and the pure Masculine, complete consciousness. They are two sides of the mirror, two sides of the coin. You are always already both.
In some sense there is nothing to attain, as many of your spiritual practices have suggested.
But you have all chosen to come into this manifest form, where your consciousness is limited. You consciously chose, and through that choice you manifested. Now your consciousness is reflecting the manifestation that you chose.
This is a bit of a sticky wicket, you might say. There is a part of you that remembers something higher. That part of you is your higher self. That part of you is calling you to change your consciousness, and through that your manifestation. It is calling you to change your manifestation, and through that your consciousness.
Your higher self is calling you to this spiritual process. All are called. All are actually responding in their own way and their own form that is right for them at this time. It is for each of you to respond. You can’t help but do it. You are doing it.
Yet in the third dimension you have free will. So part of your journey in this third dimension is to engage your free will to support this wonderful process of uniting in and as God. It doesn’t make sense to your mind. I recommend listening to your heart and your consciousness. Let that be your guide.

Helping a Loved One in the Fourth Dimension
Image By André Schmucki
By Mercedes Kirkel
This week I told a friend that since my mother died I’ve been having very frequent nightmares. I added that I’m surprised by this because I almost never have nightmares.
My friend responded with a story from his life that involved a relative of his who committed suicide. (I’ll call his relative “Mike” for this story.) Some time after the suicide, my friend was working with a shaman and asked the shaman how Mike was doing. The shaman checked up on Mike and reported that he was stuck in the middle world, adding that this happens to many souls and is especially common with those who commit suicide. The shaman then contacted Mike, instructing him to look up and follow the light. Afterward the shaman confirmed that Mike wasn’t stuck anymore.
My friend spoke to Mike’s wife a few days later. She told him that she’d experienced a dramatic shift in relation to Mike, right at the time when the shaman was helping him. She said she didn’t feel grief anymore but now felt at peace.
Based on this, my friend suggested that maybe my nightmares were related to what my mother was experiencing. He asked me if I knew how to contact my mother and help her in the way the shaman had helped Mike. Even though I don’t generally do that type of thing, I realized that I could with the knowledge I have of how to access the fourth dimension and connect with people via our light-bodies.
So I went for it. That night before I went to sleep, I engaged my process of entering the fourth dimension. I then began to communicate with my mother. I gave her instructions about how to move on, just as I had given her instructions and helped her when she was transitioning out of her physical body. After I was complete, I went to sleep. And guess what—I had a completely peaceful night, with no nightmares, and haven’t had any since.
I can’t say definitively that what I did made a difference but I believe it did. I’m happy to think that I helped my mother and stepfather, and also relieved to not have nightmares anymore.
I teach people how to access the fourth dimension and do these kinds of things in my LIGHT-BODY MANIFESTATION PROGRAM that’s starting in 2017. If you’d like to learn more about this, Click Here.

MARY MAGDALENE: Practicing Sacred Sexuality Without a Partner
Image by atarax42 sri yantra designer
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: For those men or women who do not have a partner, how were you taught at the Temple of Isis to practice sacred sexuality, loving yourself and honoring yourself so that that life force doesn’t stop?
Mary Magdalene: Sacred sexuality is an energy practice. It is a practice of the kundalini life force, in the form of sexual energy—for they have the same source, the same pathway within the body. It does not require a partner to engage the sacred sexual energy, any more than it requires a partner to engage a kundalini practice. Truly there is a great deal in common with both.
For many people, the partnership aspect of sacred sexuality empowers the energy more. It ignites the energy. It charges the energy through the polarized interactions of the Masculine and Feminine, so the energy can become even stronger. That is the reason to engage with a partner, because it ignites the energy, making it even stronger and thus potentially much more powerful and effective in its effects.
This polarized charging is also a challenge because that energy has its own pull, its own draw. One who is going to truly engage sacred sexuality must master that energy so that you are not simply drawn into the course of that energy, which in its more ordinary form is the energy of procreation.
So sacred sexuality takes a certain level of training or development—perhaps that is a better explanation—a certain level of skill and commitment to utilize this energy for the highest purposes.
This can all be done at the individual level as well. It can be done with a partner long distance, engaging both of your energies. It can be done with someone who you are not in a relationship with, either sexually or in a non-sexual way, where you are simply sharing the energies and moving the energy between the two of you. There are many ways this can be done.
Sacred sexuality is a most valuable practice, just as in India the kundalini has long been recognized as a most valuable spiritual practice and pathway. The same is true of the sexual energy and the sexual pathway.

MARY MAGDALENE: How Women Can Heal
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: As we’re shifting the energy on the Earth today into a new dimension, I see part of the healing is for women to forgive, love, and honor themselves where they may have been shut down. How is this done in the most divine, sacred way, in giving permission to women?
Mary Magdalene: To forgive, love, and honor themselves?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: They must do the healing of what has caused them to stop at a certain point, what has frozen them you might say, like shutting off a valve. It is not enough to simply intend that this valve reopen. You must find the wound that closed it and there must be reopening of the wound, literally.
There is no way to bypass this that is authentic. You must go through the process of going into the wound and allow it to heal in the way it was originally intended to heal. If someone shut down at some point, they moved out of the healing process—out of despair, or fear, or not knowing how to complete it.
This is the work that I spoke about in great depth in the first set of messages I brought through to Mercedes, the ones that are embodied in the book Mary Magdalene Beckons. I spoke about how to learn a whole different pathway of relating to pain, a pathway that takes you into reconnecting with God. If someone has shut down from their love, or their self-honoring, or their self-forgiveness, they have stopped that process. Or perhaps they never began it in the first place, not realizing or understanding how to engage it. It must be re-engaged.
The heart must open. When you open the heart you will feel the pain. You will feel the place you stopped. It is right there waiting to be healed. But it is not about simply feeling the pain. You must let the pain take you to its source, the place within yourself that you shut down from, your own God-nature. Then you can reconnect to that God-nature within.
That is the function of pain. It shows you the most direct pathway to reconnect with your God-self. If you do not make use of that pathway for your healing and instead try another pathway, very often you will not get to the true root. The emotions were intended to guide you to the healing you require. When you try to do it through another pathway, especially the pathway of the mind, most often people are fooled. They think they understand. They think they realize what they need to do to heal. But they are still hiding the true connection and source from themselves.
This is the pathway that’s described in Mary Magdalene Beckons. This is the most important thing for most people to learn at this time, especially those in the Feminine. It is more natural for the Feminine to avail themselves of this emotional process. Through their own opening to emotions, and through learning this process of allowing their emotions to lead them back into full connection to God, those in the Feminine can support those in the Masculine.
Those in the Masculine may not have the exact same pathway, but it will be a similar one. They will be very supported by those in the Feminine who have developed these strengths. This is part of the synergy between the Masculine and the Feminine, which they were meant to engage and support each other with. It is a most beautiful and wondrous process.
It is not easy to understand this process until you actually experience it. This is part of the work that has been given to Mercedes, to be the bridge to help people to experience this process and understand it deeply within themselves. Then they can start to live this process and to model it for others. My words may not make sense until you avail yourself of that kind of support and have the experience yourself.
Does this answer your question?
Questioner: Yes.

MARY MAGDALENE: Yeshua and The Earth’s Ascension
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Question: There are many explanations about why Yeshua accepted to be crucified and to go through that. I’d like to hear the answer from you, please.
Mary Magdalene: Yes.
It was a sacrifice in the greatest sense of the word. Yeshua came to change the course of the Earth, to shift the Earth into the process of ascension. The Earth and the people of the Earth had descended to the lowest extent imaginable and there was concern that it would remain this way for a very long time, or perhaps it would not be able to turn itself around. So Yeshua came to do this work, to turn the evolutionary process and reset it so that the Earth could begin its process of return, of ascension, and no longer be stuck in the place of the lowest densities.
The crucifixion was a part of this, a very essential part of this. The spiritual force Yeshua had manifested within himself was released into the Earth and also into humanity through the crucifixion, allowing a new level of light and love to take root and take hold in this world. This was the most fundamental reason for the crucifixion.
The cross that he was crucified on was a conductor of his blessing force into the Earth, allowing this blessing to be fully received and the Earth to fully be charged through his life force with his blessing power. This blessing power would be held in the Earth and would be available to the people and the beings of the Earth. This is why you have seen such immense changes in your world since the time of Yeshua and this continues to this day.
This is why the ascension process is happening now at the incredibly rapid pace that it is. This would not normally be the case at all. What is happening on the Earth is exceedingly unique and it has everything to do with the work that Yeshua did here. That work came to fulfillment and was completed through the crucifixion. Do you understand?
Questioner: Yes. He didn’t die on the cross, did he?
Mary Magdalene: No, he did not die on the cross. He was taken to the tomb and revived. The healers were ready and prepared, knowing that this was what they had been called to do. It was all set in place beforehand and the inner circle were all there. He was revived and removed.
The story that was told was prepared in advance so that the prophecies would be fulfilled. It was also told so that the people who were ready for that level of opening, that level of relationship to Yeshua’s work and who he was, could accept him in that form. The story was also told so that he would be safe, that people would not realize or suspect that he had lived. But he did not die on the cross.
Is there more you wish to ask about that?
Questioner: No. Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: You are welcome.

8 Things to Say (and Not Say) When Someone’s Grieving
By Mercedes Kirkel
I thought I was prepared for my mother’s death. I’d seen her declining. I’d talked to her about dying. I didn’t need to heal anything with her. I’d said my goodbyes. I believed she was going to a much better place and that we’d always be connected. And I felt glad for her struggles to be over.
What I forgot about was me.
I’ve had a hard time since my mother died—much harder than I expected. Initially I was in shock. I just couldn’t feel much at all. Beneath that was a feeling that some part of me had been ripped out. And below that was a well of grief. But the first two—the shock and feeling of separation—were so intense and consuming, I was only able to get beyond them and dip into the pool of grief for brief periods, like dipping my toe in water every now and then.
I feel some trepidation in sharing this with you. I’m afraid you’ll judge me for having a hard time with the death of a loved one. You might decide I’m spiritually incompetent, a spiritual laggard—or possibly even a spiritual phony. Perhaps you believe that really spiritual people are beyond feeling grief and sorrow when someone dies, that their spiritual connection to God and all of life is so strong that they only feel the joy of everlasting peace… or something like that.
I have a different point of view. A lot of it has come from Mary Magdalene. Mary calls the orientation toward everlasting peace, eternity, rising “above” the comings and goings of life, etc. the Masculine perspective. It’s the part of us that connects with what transcends our Earthly, 3D realm. Some paths and traditions call this God. But Mary says it’s only one aspect or “face” of God, the Masculine part.
She says there’s also a Feminine “face” of God. We connect with that part when we experience God in and through the manifest world. It’s God incarnate, materialized in endless forms. Experiencing God in this form requires that we open to fully feeling and experiencing the manifest world and our connection to it. That includes feeling loss and grief when a loved one leaves or dies.
Mary says that most of us have a bias toward the Masculine and are underdeveloped in our Feminine. We’ve been trained to see the Masculine as important and the Feminine as the source of our problems in life, and thus something that’s best avoided.
I, too, carry that imprint of avoiding the Feminine. I see it in my difficulty experiencing and allowing my grief. I’m afraid to fully open to my mourning. Which is to say, I’m afraid of the Feminine.
Yet I’ve learned enough, through Mary and my growth in the path she teaches, that I know my way forward is in doing exactly that—opening myself to my grief, merging with it, letting my pain guide me to God, and letting God guide me from there.
Nonetheless, when it’s something as big as my mother dying, I need help and support to do this.
I would love to live in a world where people supported me in going into my grieving. Here are 8 ways I’ve learned that give me the kind of support I long for.
1) When I’m grieving, understand that it’s not about what’s happening to the person who’s died. I may feel completely at peace and even happy about their process, but still feel grief about my loss. Reassuring me about the wonderful place they’re in doesn’t help me with my loss right now. It actually requires me to come out of my grieving process and enter into a more mind-based place that isn’t authentic to what I’m feeling. While I realize that most people are sincerely trying to help me to feel better by focusing on the wellbeing of the one who’s died (saying things such as “he/she is with God now” or “they’re in the light” or “they’re out of their suffering”), it’s not what I need right now. I’ll come to that on my own, when I’m ready, after I’ve dealt with my grief.
2) I don’t want to focus on how good my future relationship with the person will be. I want to be in the present with what’s happening for me now, which is grief and my difficulty experiencing the grief. While imagining having contact with the person in the future does feel consoling and even hopeful, it also distracts me from my grief. I trust that my grief is being given to me because it’s exactly what I need. As Mary teaches, it has an important and necessary gift for me, if I understand how to receive it and make use of it. I don’t want to skip over my grief or suppress it. I want to receive it fully and make the most of its gift.
3) Please don’t tell me to be strong or even that I’m being strong. Either one takes me out of my grieving process, which is where I find my true strength.
4) This is a tough one, but I believe it’s also very important. Please don’t begin by telling me how sorry you are for my loss. Why? Because that’s about you, not me. When I hear that, I often feel I need to take care of you, reassuring you that I’m OK and telling you how much I appreciate your expression. That’s taking me away from my grief.
I’ve learned to hear the expression “I’m so sorry for your loss” as a shorthand way of saying “I’m sad because I’m guessing that you’re sad. I want you to know that I care about your well-being and I’m here for you.”
I like this version a lot better because then I don’t feel like I need to take care of the other person. I then can respond with an authentic “Thank you.”
But it still takes me away from my grieving.
4) What I really want is for you to ask me how I’m doing. This is like shining a gentle, warm light on my grief. It helps me to go beyond my shock and to allow myself to experience the deeper pain of separation and sadness. That’s hard for me to do. When you go there with me, it really helps.
You don’t have to feel what I’m feeling. Just be present with me while I feel it. It’s like holding my hand emotionally. I can’t tell you how much that helps.
5) When I tell you how I’m doing and what I’m feeling, don’t try to fix it or change it. I don’t need fixing or changing. I don’t need reassuring that this will pass, things will get better, all is in God’s hands, etc. I don’t need suggestions that I should rest, exercise, eat, do something nurturing, or anything else. All of those suggestions and beliefs will take me away from my grieving process.
6) What I really want is for you to reflect my feelings back to me. Just that. Help me to experience and open to my feelings. Be with me in that. It’s as simple as “I hear you feel really numb” (or whatever feeling I expressed). You don’t have to be creative and change the words I said. Lots of times that changes the meaning and again takes me out of my process. Just use the words I used. It’s really like being a mirror. It really helps.
7) When you’ve given me as much space as I seem to need or want to express what’s going on for me, then I want to hear how you feel about the loss. I want to hear how you feel about what’s happening for me. I may be open to hearing your ideas for what you think might help me—but please check in with me first and see if I’m open to receiving suggestions right now.
I believe grieving is an essential part of our humanity. It’s a death-rebirth process that grows our heart and our being. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength and depth of loving.
When someone supports me in my process of grieving, they give me a great gift. Then they’re really “being there for me,” in a way I need, in a way that deeply helps.
There’s one last thing I want to add. If you’ve reached out to me during this time, I want you to know that I REALLY appreciate it, regardless of the words you’ve used or the form of support you’ve offered. I hear everyone’s expressions as offerings of care and support and love. Every communication I’ve received has REALLY meant a lot to me and helped me get through a difficult time. So I hope you’ll keep communicating with me—really!
My desire in writing this is to be transparent, to show who I am, what I feel and want, and what helps me. My hope is that this will be helpful to others, too.

MARY MAGDALENE: Response to U.S. Election
Picture by By Globetrotter19
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
Mercedes: Hello my beloved Mary and Yeshua. I’m calling upon you because so many people have been disturbed by the results of the election in the United States and have asked for your guidance and help in this situation. What would you like us to understand and to do?
Mary Magdalene: Hello my dear one. We are both here in response to your request, and I will begin in offering our response.
There is so much to say about all of this. The first thing I feel moved to offer is that everyone’s feelings that have come up in reaction to the election are important. I encourage everyone, as I always do, to listen to your feelings and to open to them. They are trying to help you. I caution you against avoiding them or thinking that you shouldn’t “wallow” in them. Let yourself feel them all the way, which for many of you is hard to do.
Your feelings are there to help you. They have gifts and messages for you. Open to the feelings and let them guide you to your healing. Do not leap into action, which many tend to do as a way of getting out of their painful feelings. That will only lead to suppression and premature action, which will not be integrated with all of yourself, and won’t be coming from your wholeness, your divinity.
Many of you are feeling shock. You didn’t think so many Americans would vote for someone who expressed the ideas Trump expressed, especially relative to various populations (religious and ethnic groups, as well as women), and who represented himself and conducted himself in the manner that Trump did during his campaign. You thought that the majority of Americans valued care and respect for others, including those who are different from themselves.
Many people are also experiencing fear about the future of the United States and even the world. You’re afraid that the U.S. won’t be safe for many people, possibly yourself.
Here is what we want to offer. We hope that this is helpful to people in finding their way through their pain.
Your world is in the midst of a huge transition from the third dimension to the fourth dimension, which we call the ascension process. Our desire is for this transition to happen as peacefully and easefully as possible. We and many other beings in the higher dimensions are deeply committed to that being so. But it is not in the hands of any one group.
Most of you who are reading this are at the forefront of this transition. You are aware of it and wanting it. Most of you have done a great deal of personal growth that is supporting you in making this transition.
While this group of people who are consciously involved in the ascension process is growing, it is still a minority on your Earth. The majority of people on Earth are not aware of this transition and are still committed to the third-dimensional programs of power, success, independence, etc.
For many in this latter group, Donald Trump represents the qualities they aspire to—power, success, independence, etc. He is a hero figure to them. For women, he represents the father figure or strong male hero. Men identify with him in a more personal way, seeing him as someone who’s gotten the “goods” of your society—money, women, freedom, power.
For these people, Trump represents hope and change. He represents change from government as usual, which hasn’t worked for many people, and hope that they can obtain the kind of freedom he has. Most of you reading this also want change and hope for freedom. The ways you want to obtain those things may be very different, but the motivations are the same. This is important to understand. All humans fundamentally want and need the same things, even if you have different ideas about how to obtain those things.
The reason this is important is because it opens your heart to others who are making different choices than you. You can feel that they’re fundamentally the same as you. You can care about their desire for hope and change and freedom. You may not support their particular ways of obtaining those, but you can still see them as beautiful lights of God.
Do not let this election polarize you into feeling “against” those who choose differently from you. Keep your heart open, even while engaging your free choice about how to respond. Then you are continuing in your fourth-dimensional path of growth. Do not let the choices of others draw you back into the fray of the third dimension.
The greatest gift you give to yourself and others is to maintain your highest consciousness and open heart. From that place you can choose what action to take. Different people have different soul callings, which will determine what response is most appropriate for you. Some people have the soul calling to be involved more than others in an outward, action-oriented way. But all are called to maintain your highest consciousness and open heart.
This election and its results is just one test of what is likely to be many tests in this process. You have a choice as to how these situations will affect you. We support you mourning to the fullest extent you need to. We also support you rising above the third-dimensional feeding of fear. Turn off the news and meditate or go in nature. Support yourself in reconnecting with God and your own divinity in whatever way you need to. And then act, when you’re ready, from your highest consciousness and open heart.
We love you and support you. Love and light have already won. It’s just the path to get there that’s still being determined.
In great love and holding,
WE ARE Yeshua and Mary Magdalene

MARY MAGDALENE: How to Change Your World
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
In a Group Channeling Occasion
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.
