In this interview by Dr. Melissa Sophia Joy, ND, Mercedes discusses Mary Magdalene’s and Yeshua’s guidance for healing, and then uniting, the Masculine and Feminine.

By Mercedes Kirkel

When I was first diagnosed with cancer, my guidance was very clear: “Get chemotherapy asap!” My guidance is always clear, but this was stronger than usual. It was almost as if my guides were yelling at me.

I think they needed to turn up the volume. When you’re diagnosed with cancer, all of a sudden you’re faced with so many options – and so many people with their own ideas of what you should do. It can definitely be overwhelming, as though having cancer wasn’t already enough.

The other reason my guides needed to “shout” was because I’ve always had a strong preference for going the natural route. It definitely wasn’t my nature to jump on the medical/pharmaceutical bandwagon. But that’s exactly what my guides were telling me to do. So, like always, I followed the guidance.

Fortunately, my oncologist is a wonderful person who’s very open to me listening to my guides. (Thank you, Spirit, for guiding me to her!) So we’ve been a good team.

I’ve seen throughout my cancer journey that listening to guidance has been so important. Fortunately, I’m blessed to hear my guidance very clearly, which has been a tremendous advantage. For those who aren’t so fortunate and struggle to hear their guidance, cancer is a great opportunity to change that.

So how can we listen to our guidance? If you’re like me, it comes in very clearly, like a voice in my head that’s different from my own. If you’re not experiencing that, it may be that you’re blocking it.

Some people are afraid of hearing “a voice,” equating it with being possessed. If that’s the case, you can dialog with the voice. Ask it who it is. This is a law of Spirit: All entities are required to reveal who they are, if asked directly. You can also ask what its intention is. If it’s an outside spirit and it doesn’t want to answer these questions, it will just go away.

I believe that most of the time when we get a “communication,” we’re hearing from either our higher self or one of our angels. And they’re trying to help us.

Be aware that you may not receive guidance through a verbal message. It may come as an image. Or a physical feeling. Or an emotion. Or an experience. You may be discounting these things as not meaning anything, or a mere synchronicity. Part of the process may be to start to listen to your body and experiences.

If you’re not sure if you can trust a message you’re receiving, test it out. Does it feel benign and supportive? Do you feel better or worse when you open to the message? Does it align with your previous experiences? All of these discernments can help you know whether the message is right for you.

In the book Radical Remission, Dr. Kelly Turner describes the experiences of people who’ve experienced “spontaneous remission” from cancer. This is a documented medical phenomena, where cancer patients go into remission without a clear explanation from the medical point of view. Based on her research of thousands of cases, she’s identified nine factors that people who’ve experienced spontaneous remission share.

Most of the factors were things I expected such as diet, exercise, emotional healing, etc. But one surprised me. She lists “following your intuition” as one of the nine factors that people consistently did, which made a difference.

I agree with that. And I think it’s a greatly under-recognized factor in healing, from cancer or anything else. In my cancer journey, even I have been stretched and grown in this arena. And I’m grateful for that. I feel stronger because of it, especially in my relationship to Spirit.

I always love Halloween — maybe because it’s a week after my birthday. But I think it’s more than just that. I love the magic of the colors, the smells, the changing weather. And I truly believe the veil between the worlds is especially thin at this time of year. As the pagans sagely say: “Magic is afoot!”

This Halloween appears to be particularly notable. It falls on a blue moon/full moon, which in itself is fairly unique. Add to that a worldwide pandemic in full tilt and a highly contentious U.S. election, and the result for many is a sense of potential doom, with all the attendant feelings that tends to bring.

For me personally, this is also a significant moment. Since getting diagnosed with cancer six months ago and then going through chemotherapy, I feel like I’ve traversed my own dark night of the soul. I’m grateful to report I’m coming out the other side and feel newly emerged, even reborn. Hallelujah!

My dark night had everything to do with facing death. My death. Much sooner than I ever expected. Cancer seems to do that and I was no exception. For all my spiritual work and all the ways I thought I was fully integrated with death as part of life, I found my very human self was still in fear. It took me a long time to realize it.

At first I was in shock — the classic first stage of grief that Elizabeth Kubler Ross and others describe. And that lasted for months.

Then there was bargaining. In my case that took the form of researching everything I could get my hands on about possible cures and therapies. Not that I’m opposed to therapies or research. I just see now that there was an emotional component to what I was doing that was the classic second stage of the grief process, even though I didn’t recognize it at the time.

Thankfully I was spared the next stage of the cycle of grief: anger. I do think this is because of the spiritual work I’ve done. Instead I went to what was below any possible anger, which was sorrow and fear. Sorrow about potential loss of the joys of this realm. Sorrow about joys not yet realized.

Fear was the most difficult to face. Even to acknowledge. But eventually it was inevitable. And it happened in a most unexpected way. I gradually became aware that death had taken on a living presence in my life. It wasn’t just a concept anymore. It had become a viable presence — a subtle entity that seemed to sit next to me on my left side. And it was dark. Not malevolent. Quite neutral actually. But dark nonetheless.

This in itself was a surprise. I’ve always associated death with going into the light: seeing the light, the light at the end of the tunnel, being guided by angels of light. And I strongly believe that we go to a place of greater light after our death-transition. So the darkness of this entity was a revelation.

And that brings me to Halloween. I’d always thought of ghouls, ghosts, and the grim reaper as images from the collective unconscious, representations of fear finding a culturally acceptable avenue of expression. But now it occurred to me that there was more to it. I’m well aware that most “folk legends” have some origin in fact. And I started to “grok” that many of the dark Halloween archetypes were no different. I was experiencing their reality.

Did this take me into a hell realm, a place of unmitigated blackness and terror? Quite the opposite. It allowed me to open to the presence I was experiencing, to face it and begin to talk about it with others. And that led to one of the most ecstatic, vivid, and life-changing dreams I’ve ever experienced.

Because hearing others’ dreams can be quite tedious, I’ll spare you the details and go straight to the golden nuggets I received from this amazing experience: 1) I’m even more in-my-power now than ever, 2) I’m still attractive and sexy, 3) there’s a great party I’m invited to on the other side, and 4) life is really a hilarious joke.

And what about the specter of death I’d been living with? After the dream, it seemed to become integrated with me as a natural part of the total fabric of this world. I still can sense it, but just barely. And my fear is gone, replaced with great peace.

About a week later, I received a message from Death, in a channeling that happened quite spontaneously. It was the first channeling I’ve done since my cancer diagnosis, and I received it as a wonderful and uplifting gift. I’m delighted to share it with you now.

A Message From Death

2020 is a huge time of integrating death for your culture, especially in the US., but in western culture altogether. Because your culture is so rejecting of death. Your culture is so much about acquisition, grasping and holding on. Not about release and letting go. And most people don’t understand about rebirth, that it’s a cycle of  birth-life-death-rebirth, on and on. In your world there’s huge fear of death and out of that avoidance of death. People are terrified of me.

This year people are having to get in touch with death. Not just physical mortality. Death of their old life, their old meaning, their expectations of what life should be, what they’re entitled to. This has a lot to do with entitlement. Entitlement is a very limiting belief. Your society feels entitled to the “good life.” And you’re confronting that now in all the restrictions being asked and recommended because of Covid. It’s challenging people’s entitlement.

This is a great spiritual opportunity, as most challenge is. Whatever you’re struggling with in the midst of the restriction and loss you’re experiencing, that’s where you believe you’re entitled, what you’re attached to. And that attachment is binding and limiting you. It’s keeping you from your freedom.

I’m here to support you in letting go. Of course you have a choice. You can do it now or you can do it later. And of course you’ll all be required to let go at some point.

So why do it now? Why not just wait until you have to? Because doing it now will bring you freedom. And that freedom will bring you ecstasy. Just as you, Mercedes, experienced in facing the part of you that’s afraid of dying. When you faced it and embraced it, when you asked it to guide you to its source, then you were gifted with ecstasy. So it will be for all.

I send you my blessings and love, even though it’s not in the form that most people are attached to. Love is always from the wholeness, the All, which includes darkness and light. At least in this realm.

Blessings and thank you for being one of the strong and brave, who open to the darkness. Thank you for helping others in this way.

Balancing and uniting the Masculine and Feminine is very likely the most critical part of that process.

Question: “How will it look when we’re living this balance more effectively in our lives?”

Mary Magdalene: You will feel very different. This will be the beginning because the Feminine is all about feeling. You will feel your heart. You will feel your emotions. You will feel your body. You will feel your sexuality. You will start to operate in your life out of feeling, as opposed to thinking.

As this happens there will be a very natural process that will occur of your feeling and thinking beginning to integrate with each other. You might say that your thinking will calm down. Your thinking is like the substitute teacher that has walked in to handle the situation while the teacher has been absent. The being that’s supposed to be in charge is your heart. But because your Feminine has been so suppressed and underdeveloped, your heart is not fully active. It tends to be weak. So your mind has stepped in to cover, so you can survive and function.

This has been a great stress on your whole being, including your mind. Your mind was not intended to do this. When your heart becomes strong, through strengthening the Feminine, your mind will start to relax. It will actually become subservient to the heart. And the heart will start to lead.

It’s not that you will shut down your mind, or become stupid or not use your thinking functions. That is not at all the case. Your thinking is a tremendous gift. Why would you not use it, if it’s in support of your heart? The mind will be completely available to the heart. But more and more your heart will be guiding you. 

This process has stages to it. The early stage is that your heart will come to the fore and your mind will relax, As this happens, your higher mind will open up. This is the seat of your Divine Masculine, which is your divine consciousness within yourself. More and more you will be operating from your higher mind (or Divine Masculine) and your heart (or Divine Feminine). This is the real uniting. Your higher mind is the space of consciousness. It is connected to higher dimensions and psychic abilities. All this is a process which will unfold stage by stage.

Most of you in your spiritual communities today are very aware of the heart. Most of you are aware that part of spirituality involves living from your heart. Yet if you were truthful with yourself, you would probably say that you do not live in your heart all the time. Most likely you don’t even live in your heart the majority of the time. This is reflected in your world. 

Your choices in your world will be very different when you’re living from your heart. You will start to experience more and more freedom from the third-dimensional construct. You will start to experience freedom from things like the ideas of scarcity or survival. You’ll have freedom from the idea that life is about success or other people approving of you. You’ll have freedom from ideas of right and wrong, good or bad. And you’ll have freedom from the idea that life is about power and being driven to acquire power.

You will start to see that all of these ideas are very interwoven into third-dimensional consciousness, which is a consciousness of separation. That consciousness of separation has supported you to move into your mind and separate from your Feminine. As you start to come into your Feminine more and more, this third-dimensional construct of what matters and what life is about is going to start to weaken. It’s going to have less and less of a hold on you. You are going to see through it, as though it were a mirage, or a movie, or a story that this is reality.

You are going to start to experience a different form of reality. Part of this is that you will start to see many of the more Feminine qualities becoming stronger, qualities that have not characterized your world while the Feminine was suppressed and separated from. These are qualities such as love, compassion, kindness, care for all, and things of that nature.

This change will not come out as a belief, an idea, or a “should” that this is the way the world ought to be. It will be sourcing out of your internal essence where, at the core, at your very essence, you are opening to the Feminine in a way that you have been shut down to for a very long time. First and foremost, you are going to start see the changes within yourself. Then you will see the changes in your choices in the world. And finally these changes will be reflected back to you as the manifestation or form your world is taking.

A Rendering of the Lord’s Prayer
Received by Mercedes Kirkel

Adapted from Neil Douglas-Klotz’s translation of the Aramaic Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who is everywhere and always present, the light of God

Our Mother, who enlivens all, the love of God

Guide and enlighten us with your light. Open us with your love.

Create your union of love and light through our hearts, minds, and hands.

Infuse our actions with your love-light, manifest in all forms. 

Give us what we need each day.

And release us from our binding limitations, as we forgive ourselves and others.

Help us to remain with you.

And free us from non-awakeness.

From you comes divine will, the power of creation, sustenance, and release, and the nectar that purifies all, renewing from age to age.   

May these invocations fill us with your power. May they be the source from which all my actions grow.

Sealed in trust & faith.

Amen.

Question: I have an issue with my spirituality that concerns my son. He is four years old and I think he’s amazing from a spiritual point of view. In my heart I feel I need to respect him and love him for who he is. But I find it so difficult because I feel confronted with the idea that I need to guide him and have some authority over him, which does not match my spiritual ideals.

How do I balance guiding my son with not wanting to change him or tell him who he should be and how he should act?

Yeshua: I feel moved to respond to your question.

The first thing to realize is that your son is a mirror for you. That mirror can show you the places in you that you are struggling with, which you would not be in touch with if it were not for your son, or perhaps not as easily or as readily.

As my beloved Mary Magdalene has clarified, a primary part of the growth and focus in the third dimension has to do with power. You are struggling with your relationship to power. That is a rich struggle. It is not simply about how to be a good parent. It is about how to go beyond the limits of the third dimension altogether—where life is not about power, where power is used to support everyone, not to control some for the benefit of others. This is a huge learning for human beings and it is coming in this particular form in your life.

Ultimately you must get to the root of your conflict, which is your conflict within yourself about power. Very likely there is wounding and healing to be done.

There is also an embrace of your son’s power, which perhaps you are not completely at peace with.

This is where you are all headed, to learn to be in power together for the good of all. There is an empowerment of your son and there is an empowerment of yourself. They are not in conflict with each other, but it can seem that way.

You are the divine guardian of your son and that includes, at times, setting appropriate limits. Children do not necessarily enjoy those limits in the moment, but these are usually short-lived reactions. If they are not short-lived reactions, there is something deeper going on.

The third dimension is filled with limits. Part of your job as a parent is to help your child navigate limits.

Again, as a parent, any issue you are struggling with or having challenge with relative to yourself will show up in your relationship with your child. That can be a great benefit. It can help you realize and come to clarity about the places you may need to focus upon for your own growth, as well as the good of your child. This is one of the great blessings of being a parent.

Most parents love their child, although at times, of course, it can be difficult. You can forget your love; but in general, there is love there. That love motivates you for the good of both of you.

Ultimately, it’s your job as a parent to see the divinity in your child and to see the divinity in yourself. When you get to that place, you work it out as two divine beings.

Is there anything else about this?

Questioner: I think your answer was spot on and I have much to process. I thank you very much.

Yeshua: You are very welcome.
