Archangel Michael: Understanding Killing, Emotions, and Imagination
Part 3 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel on June 2, 2013
Question: I heard a story that you intervened in one of the world wars to protect a soldier by killing other soldiers. I was wondering about killing other people. Is is justified at all for self-defense? What does that look like in the other realms when you kill another person?
Archangel Michael: This is a complex question.
Part of the reason beings have come into the third dimension is to explore all aspects of power. Taking the life of another being is one aspect of power. It is something that we, at the higher dimensions, do not engage in, nor do we have need to. In general, at the higher dimensions there is a very firm law about not interfering with the free will of another. Exerting your power over another being to take their life would be considered a form of interference in that way, a very strong form.
Yet at the third dimension, overriding another’s free will has been allowed because of this exploration of power. Interfering with another being’s free will has been perceived as supportive of the exploration of power. At this point, it is generally held that there has been enough of that exploration. There is no need for it to go any further, and there is much suffering and pain that has been created by this exploration.
We at the higher levels are not stopping this exploration, for it is not ours to stop. We simply encourage beings, if they are complete with their own personal soul work in the arena of third-dimensional power, to move out of that form of engagement at the third dimension. We urge such ones to shift in their awareness and their focus to integrating the lessons they have learned through their ascension process and move into greater love and greater light, which ultimately will carry them into higher dimensions. This is our recommendation for those who ask and are open. It is the thrust of our support for people, with no judgment for those who have engaged in any forms, because all have been doing their soul work.
Higher dimensional beings may intervene in the free will choices of beings in the third dimension, but the form of intervention may be different than you understand. Our form of intervention varies from circumstance to circumstance, but in general it is to bring light and to bring love. It is rare for us to intervene in other ways in free will choices. But there are occasions where that is done, if it is felt that it will prevent something happening that is not aligned with the current universal program, if you will. That is all that I am allowed to say about that at this time.
Question: In this journey to higher consciousness and love, we still live in the third-dimensional world. How would you suggest for us to stay grounded? Sometimes we get swayed by personal emotions, so that at times we might fall off the tracks, though we know that it is minor and we have to look beyond it. How can we get past that, so we can continue on the path and not get swayed, and yet live in the third-dimensional world?
Archangel Michael: Many of you have made a great error by looking at emotions as minor. There is really no such thing as “minor.” It is kind of like saying a finger is minor. How minor is it? It’s a part of who you are.
Emotions are very important. They are part of what you’ve come to the third dimension—and this world in particular—to experience and to become masters of. Many of you have the wrong idea that emotions are something that is interfering with your spiritual process. If emotions are showing up, it is oftentimes a sign that this is something you need to actually engage, to work with. Your lack of grounding may very well be due to the fact that you are not properly working with emotions. If you are somehow distancing yourself from them, that would be very ungrounding.
You may need help in understanding this. This has been a great weakness in the Earth’s spiritual development for a very long time, where there has been very little understanding of emotions and how emotions are a part of the spiritual process. This has a lot to do with the fact that for a very long time in your history, the spiritual process on Earth has been largely guided by the Masculine—not only men, but the Masculine energy. And the Masculine energy tends to be less understanding of emotions.
So the emotional incidents you’re noticing may be a sign that you have emotional work to do. This will only become more important at the higher dimensions. The fourth dimension is a very emotional dimension. If you have not done your work in the third dimension, you will find it even more unbalancing in the fourth dimension. This is another reason that it is very important that you become strong in your emotions, become wise, become spiritually mature in that area.
Understanding how to engage emotions is part of the work that Mary Magdalene has been doing. She has been bringing in the emotional component, which is so important for people on the Earth to understand. She has rightly judged that this is an area of great weakness for many humans, and something that many humans need help with at this time.
There are four bodies—some have referred to them as the four lower bodies—the physical, energetic, emotional, and mental bodies. All four need to be strong for you to stay grounded. They are the foundation in the third dimension that allows you to launch into the higher dimensions. If any of them are not strong, you will tend to be imbalanced, which may very likely show up as being ungrounded.
Most of you are quite developed in the mental. Your world has done a very good job of schooling you in the mental. Many of you are quite imbalanced, in that you’re developed in the mental only and not strongly developed in the other three bodies: the physical, emotional, and energetic. This has been done on purpose in your world because, while most of you think the mind is very strong, it is actually very easy to control a being who is primarily in their lower mind.
Very many of you—speaking to you as the greater humanity who are interested in the ascension process—have work to do to develop your physical, energetic, and emotional bodies. Many of you have more understanding of the physical and what your work is to do at that level. Many of you are less aware of the emotional and energetic. The energetic is working with things like your chakras and all the features of your energy body that ultimately will help you to make the shift into the fourth dimension and be strong there—the opening of your pineal gland, your third eye, your merkaba, all of the aspects of your energy body. But that actually is an easier process for most of you than your emotional work.
For most of you, the emotional work is unclear, muddled. And for many of you it is imbalancing you. I recommend that you evaluate your strength in those four arenas—the physical, energetic, emotional, and mental—and see where you need further work, where there is either healing to do or learning to do, so that you become strong and balanced in those four arenas. Then you will stay grounded.
Question: I have a question regarding imagination. When I was young, it was very easy and useful for me to use my imagination. Now that I’m older in my life, it’s become difficult for me to recapture the power of imagination. I use it to construct my life. Do you have a comment on how imagination works and how I can strengthen it to improve my life.
Archanchangel Michael: That is a very accurate understanding of imagination. Constructing life is exactly the intent and purpose of imagination, ultimately. Imagination is an aspect of consciousness. It is the creative aspect of consciousness, both in terms of being a creative process and in terms of creating your life, as you said.
If there is a block or a breakdown in your being able to access imagination, it points to some blockage or wounding in one of the four bodies I was referencing earlier, most likely the energetic. It may have an emotional component, but it is most likely the energetic. What may support you the most is learning how to open all the energetic functions and pathways. There are many who understand this. This being who is channeling is one of those who understands this. Others do, as well.
It is not a difficult task for you to reconnect with your imagination if you have become disconnected from it. It is valuable to do so.
[There is a space of silence.]
Perhaps we are complete for today. I thank you. This has been most wonderful. I value my time with you, my connection with you. I am so refreshed by being in your company, experiencing your beauty, your light. Thank you, dear ones, for all you bring.
With this, I go with great love. I AM Archangel Michael.

Archangel Michael: Remembering How To Live In More Than One Dimension
Part 2 of a Message
Received through Mercedes Kirkel on June 2, 2013
Question: Could you speak about remembering how to live in more than one dimension simultaneously?
Archangel Michael: This is the process you will naturally go through as you begin to ascend into higher dimensions. And it is true that it is a remembering process. You have done this before. But in the third dimension you have forgotten. It is part of the quality, the nature of the third dimension that there is this veil of forgetting. So you are remembering, reawakening your consciousness, your memory, your abilities to exist in higher dimensions.
As this process is taking place, it is natural that you will start to spend time in dimensions higher than the third dimension. At first it will very likely be the fourth dimension, and perhaps the fifth or sixth. Those are the most common that most people initially connect with. Most often, it is for finite periods of time, somewhat like going to sleep at night and having a dream, and then waking up. You have the dream and then you come back to your waking state that you are familiar with. You don’t feel like you’re in the dream world anymore. Yet it has its effect. You may remember the dream. You may feel altered by the dream.
Initially, spending time in the higher dimensions can be something like this. That is a good analogy, because you all have the experience of being able to shift into dream worlds. If you meditate, you oftentimes have the experience of going into other states of consciousness in meditation. If you have done shamanic work, journey work, you have oftentimes had the experience of traveling into what are most likely other dimensions. So there is precedent for this. There is historical precedent in your world and there is also personal precedent. That may help, to understand that you already have a body of experience you can draw upon.
Over time what will generally happen is that you start to spend more time—of course this is speaking of time from the third-dimensional perspective and your sense of time as you may perceive it on the third dimension—you start to spend more time in these higher dimensions. They start to become more attractive to you. They start to draw you.
There are also traditional precedents for this. In the Indian tradition, there is the story of Krishna and the Gopis. The gopis were the cowherd maidens who fell in love with Krishna. Their job was to milk the cows. But out of their love for Krishna, they were so attracted to Krishna, that when Krishna would appear they would just forget about everything—their lives, their work, their families—and go off and follow Krishna. This is an analogy of what starts to happen. You start to become more attracted to the higher dimensions. They are very attractive, especially from the perspective of the third dimension. That attraction starts to draw you more and more. It is simply a natural process, like falling in love, where your energy and attention start to go there, start to move there naturally. Out of that, you start to spend more and more time there.
This may start to happen when you are not consciously setting aside a space of time to do this—outside of your sacred occasions, your meditation, your sleep, your entering into a particular process. It might just start to happen spontaneously. It might initially happen by coming out of those processes and continuing to carry that state with you. Or just spontaneously going into that state more and more in the midst of what you might call “ordinary life.” You might be aware of this. You might not be aware of this. Perhaps you’re aware of it after the fact. You look back and say, “I’ve been operating from a different place. I’ve been in the fourth-dimensional space.” This has always been recognized by those who meditate as one of the reasons for meditating: Having an ongoing practice, with regularity, starts to change your consciousness and your reality. You start to more and more bring that higher consciousness, and the reality based on that consciousness, into your everyday life, to live more and more from that place.
This will start to happen more and more. It is very supportive to have some practice that you engage with regularity to quicken and strengthen this process—whether that’s meditation, a quiet time where you open yourself to going into higher spaces and dimensions and communing with higher beings, or whatever you find that is supportive of you. To do this with regularity can be very valuable and make the process stronger, and oftentimes smoother and easier, as well.
So there is an integration process going on where you will start to shift. You will start to spend increasing amounts of time and periods of time in these higher dimension. This is intended to be as easeful as possible. There are many beings who have gone through this process. You on Earth right now are going through it at an amazing speed, much faster than has been done before, for the most part. There may be some challenge in this, some discomfort. At the physical level, there can be challenges. At the energetic level, there can be challenges. At the emotional and mental levels—all of those levels. This is why it is very useful to have your body in as pure of a state as possible, and to do any healing or growth work that is necessary at the physical, energetic, emotional, and mental levels. The more that these levels are open and do not have blockages or wounding, the smoother and easier this process will become. So that can be very supportive—to complete any work that is necessary in those areas.
Eventually you will make the shift, where you are centered or based in that higher dimension. You may still have a part of you that is visiting or functioning on the third dimension, completing whatever your soul work is in the third dimension. But your base will primarily be at the higher dimensions.

Archangel Michael: News Flash from the Higher Dimensions
Part 1 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel on June 2, 2013
Blessings dear one. This is Archangel Michael. It has been a while since we have communicated in this form and I am moved to be with you again. It is my delight and pleasure to be with you today.
I wish to give you somewhat of an update of how I perceive things are going for you in your world. You might think of it as a news flash or a weather report from my station in the higher dimensions. What I see is very good. I see the light on Earth increasing. This is a direct effect of each person and the light they are anchoring, the light they are opening to. This is a great process. It is a process that, especially in the third dimension, is not easily accomplished. Yet it is happening in your world, in ways that I suspect many of you may not fully realize. It is happening gradually and continuously. Often things that are gradual and continuous are not as obvious. It is also happening at deep and profound levels. Because all of you are still involved in third-dimensional functioning, you are required to spend at least a certain part of your energy and awareness in functioning in more third-dimensional, superficial ways. So that, too, may contribute to you being less than fully aware of what is happening on the deeper levels. So I come to confirm this, to lend you my viewpoint, perhaps my “sight.”
Ultimately, what is happening in any place of manifestation is very simple. It is a process of consciousness made manifest. Such manifestation happens, in the most subtle form, through light. As light becomes increasingly drawn into manifestation, it takes other forms, more solid forms, if you will. Thus you eventually have things like physicality. This is one aspect of your world, the consciousness/light aspect. Then there is the aspect of love. These two go together. They are partners, if you will.
At this time, many of you are starting to understand how consciousness comes into play and affects the quality of light in your world, the clarity of light in your world, the accessibility of light in your world, the abundance or lack of abundance of light in your world. So many of you are beginning to work at the level of consciousness, which is a most wonderful thing.
There are two approaches. You can approach transformation and growth through consciousness, and this will open you to love. Or you can approach transformation and growth through love, and this will open you to consciousness. These are not in conflict. They are very harmonious. As a matter of fact, they are both inextricably connected. But some of you may resonate with one or the other more. Some of you may find more ease in working more consciously with one or the other, consciousness or love. And that is fine.
It is most valuable to do what is strong for you. You will progress the most clearly and directly in that way. You will also contribute most valuably in that way, by bringing your strength, your gift, your uniqueness. Do not worry if the other parts are not as strong, clear, or accessible for you. Everything you require is being given. If pieces that you see others involved in are not, perhaps, your path, they are simply not your path. (quietly laughs) Those gifts will come to you in other ways.
What is important is that you contribute your gift and that you understand the vastness, the whole, and are supportive of others and their gifts, while not necessarily needing to pursue them yourself. Ultimately you are supported by the strengths and differences of others. It is part of why you do not need to pursue all paths, because you are part of the whole. It is like your body. The heart does not need to do what the liver does. They each benefit from the work of the other.
What I see is that your work is progressing beautifully. The light is increasing—your personal light and the light of your whole planet. You are involved and underway with this ascension process. Some of you may have wanted to see certain signs, certain events, which may or may not have happened. Or perhaps there are other events that are disturbing you, causing you to be worried or even fearful about the future of your planet. It is most helpful if you allow these to be without giving them energy, not getting involved in them. They are helping others to complete certain things, release certain things that are important for them. If it is not your work, you do not need to become involved.
It is best to be involved with the highest level of light that you can connect with. Support that within yourself and in your world in whatever way is true for you. Become sensitive to whether you are engaged in things that lower your light, diminish your brightness, and extricate yourself from those circumstances. They are not necessary and they are not most supportive. Each of you will have your own path for doing that. But you are free-will beings. You are in choice. You are not stuck or limited to any circumstance.
Do not beat yourself up with this. If you are in a circumstance that is challenging, there is a reason for that in your life. You may have a learning or a karmic debt that you are completing. Bring the light into that circumstance. Choose light where you are.
There are forms of choosing light. Gratitude is a form of choosing light. Connecting with God is a form of choosing light. Prayer is a form of choosing light. Communion in any way is a form of choosing light. Become sensitive to when the light is strong for you. Become sensitive to how you feel. Become sensitive to the effects in the world around you. Become sensitive to your mind, your heart. Become aware. Then it will be easier for you to notice the changes, the shifts, what increases the light, what dims the light.
You are all light bringers, light bearers, light rejoicers. Do not forget to celebrate the light, in whatever way fills your heart with joy.
This is my message for you this morning. I thank you for listening, for allowing me the opportunity to share this with you.

Why Mary Magdalene Emphasizes Strengthening the Feminine
By Mercedes Kirkel
Question: Mary Magdalene has spoken of moving into a new time, a new phase of life for our planet, characterized by an enlivenment of the feminine principle, leading to restored balance of the masculine and feminine. And you described the male principle as the silent, transcendental aspect of life, while the female principle is the expression of that silent source that we observe in the manifest world.
But when I look around at the world I see people with an over-absorption in the expressed aspect of the world and an almost total ignorance and neglect of the silent source of life. In this view it appears that it’s the influence of the masculine silent core of life that’s missing and making life incomplete. In light of this, why does Mary emphasize the need for more of the feminine principle in the world?
Mercedes: The answer to this question lies in understanding that both the Masculine and Feminine have lower and higher aspects, and seeing how those parts interact.
Lets begin by looking at the Masculine. The higher Masculine is the transcendental, that which is beyond and prior to space, time, and all arising. It has been referred to as Consciousness, emptiness, the void, the Divine Masculine, or the Self. I think it’s the state that many people seek when they meditate—which they experience as peace, stillness, quiet, and purity. It’s also the state that many of the eastern spiritual traditions have been oriented towards achieving.
In contrast, the lower Masculine aspect is characterized by our lower mind, which is comprised of our rational, everyday thinking along with our subconscious thinking, such as instincts and beliefs. Willpower and intention are also a part of the lower Masculine. It’s not that the higher Masculine is better or the lower Masculine is worse. We actually need both and they serve us in different ways. The terms “higher” and “lower” are best understood as relating to the higher or lower dimensions, or characterized by a higher or lower frequency.
Now let’s shift to the Feminine. The Feminine is the vibratory energy of manifestation. In its lower form, we see the Feminine as everything manifested physically in our 3D world. But there’s a progressively subtler continuum of energy-based manifestation that includes other realms and forms such as the etheric (the realm that’s an energetic duplicate of the physical), sexual energy, and emotions, all the way up to very subtle forms such as visions, subtle sounds, angelic realms, etc. The highest form of the Feminine is pure Love.
If we put the Masculine and Feminine together, we see that the highest form of each is Consciousness and Love. I would say that both of these are what most people at this time are growing into. Those who are consciously on the spiritual path might be characterized as being more aware of one or both of these states and perhaps more intentionally working on realizing and living on the basis of these states. I say “consciously on the spiritual path” because I believe that everyone is on a spiritual path, whether they recognize it or not, and we’re all growing into Love and Consciousness.
However, for a long time our world has been primarily characterized by the lower aspects of both the Feminine and Masculine, and even now these tend to predominate. So we’ve tended to identify “reality” as the physical world and see ourselves as having a body and a mind. This is a fairly balanced Masculine-Feminine orientation, albeit in its lower form.
But there’s been another dynamic going on, which has also been the case for a very long time. The lower Masculine has been overpowering the lower Feminine. We can see this in many ways and arenas. At the most personal level, this has manifested as our being dominated by our thinking minds—what some people call the “monkey mind.” This has excluded our connection to our bodies, sexuality, energy, and emotions. As a result, many of us have lost touch with these Feminine aspects of ourselves and have become imbalanced by operating almost exclusively from our Masculine—our mind. This is true of both men and women today. And it’s reflected outwardly in our world and culture, including that many people are alienated from the Earth.
This is what Mary Magdalene is pointing to when she says that most of us are currently dominated by the Masculine. She explains that coming back into balance between the Masculine and Feminine is essential for us to move forward in our spiritual growth. In fact, she says this imbalance is keeping us from moving into the next level before us and that correcting this will do more to serve our spiritual growth than anything else. In her instruction to us in the book Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love, she gives the specific steps we need to take to rectify this. And it all occurs at the individual level, within each one of us, men and women alike. Once we make this change within, it will inevitably be mirrored in our outer world.
She also points to a progression of what will occur as we become rebalanced. We begin by strengthening our relationship to our body, sexuality, and emotions. Of the three, she says that it’s our relationship to emotions, and specifically emotional pain, that needs the most help and will make the biggest difference. These three form the foundation of the lower Feminine within. Once they’re strong, they open the doorway for the Divine Feminine, or the higher aspect of the Feminine, to take her seat in the heart. Once this occurs, the lower Masculine, in the form of our rational mind and subconscious can relax into it’s relationship of being in service to the heart. And that allows the opening of the sacred mind, which is the seat of the Divine Masculine within.
There’s one more step, which Mary describes as the inner marriage of the Divine Feminine and Masculine—the union of the heart and sacred mind. This marriage marks the coming into balance, harmony, and union of these two aspects of ourselves and life. And it is the gateway that allows us to move into the next level of our spiritual evolution.
Mary describes herself as a midwife for birthing us into this new age. Helping us is her great passion and gift. To me she is the perfect person to be doing this, because she speaks from her own experience of knowing the magnificence of union with the Divine Masculine in the form of Yeshua (also known as Jesus).
Question: I still don’t understand WHY Mary’s primary emphasis is on developing the feminine to balance the over-developed lower masculine. Why not emphasize softening and reigning-in the lower masculine by bringing it back into full integration with Divine Masculine, and strengthening the overwhelmed lower feminine with more infusion of Divine Feminine? It seems natural to elevate the quality of mundane life by infusing it with more of the qualities of the Divine. If the lower masculine and lower feminine were brought to integration with their source energies, might they not settle into their own masculine/feminine balance?
Mercedes: What you’re describing is actually what the majority of spiritual paths have traditionally recommended. The classic eastern message was, “Don’t focus on this world; instead put your attention on the Transcendental.” The classic western message was, “Just love and create the Kingdom of God on earth.” Most people are attracted to those ideas and would like to do that. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked for a great many people—certainly not sufficiently that they feel satisfied.
Both of those routes are examples of a Masculine approach, in which the goal or end result is identified and focused on. What Mary has said is that those approaches tend to work for people who are strong in their Masculine—those who respond well to discipline and use of intention. But there are many people who don’t find those approaches accessible or successful. They’ve tried meditation, but don’t feel able to do it. They’ve tried to love unconditionally and manifest positive things, but have come up short. Most of these people are naturally more aligned to the Feminine, either in general or in a particular circumstance. And they often end up concluding that they just aren’t “good enough,” “strong enough,” “spiritual enough,” or some other definition of failure.
What Mary is recommending is that we have access to both the Masculine and the Feminine approaches, so we can utilize whatever will serve us best in any particular situation. Since most of us have been well trained in the Masculine, while receiving very little, if any, guidance in the Feminine, our work at this point is to strengthen our Feminine, in the Feminine way. What that means is that we accept, embrace, and love who and what we are right now. We don’t try to focus on a goal and work on becoming that. We practice being with what is. And that means being with our current state of development. We open to our body, sexuality, and emotions and attend to whatever needs healing or growth or strengthening in those areas.
The body, sexuality, and emotion are exactly what the Masculine tends to want to get away from. This has led to traditional warnings to not get caught up in maya or “the world” or “women and gold.” Even pursuing the higher state of love can be used as a way of avoiding the “messier” parts of embodied life in the Masculine mode. By contrast, the Feminine path is to completely embrace what is right now. On that basis, we fully accept and trust that process and where it leads. It’s the opposite of focusing on the end point. It’s about completely surrendering to the present.
My experience is that this is a very effective process. What I especially appreciate is how it brings me to a place where I can meet and join the Masculine within. But I haven’t suppressed or denied anything. I’ve created a foundation of strength and integrity, which then gives me greater capacity to respond from my Masculine and my Feminine.
I urge people to learn more about this process by reading Mary’s instruction in MARY MAGDALENE BECKONS: JOIN THE RIVER OF LOVE. I believe this book offers the fullest explanation of this process, and can help us all to grow beyond our current limits. That is Mary’s great desire. And from the feedback I’ve heard from many people, her guidance is accomplishing just that.

Isis: Quickening The Shift Into Fourth Dimension
Part 1 of a Message Given Through Mercedes Kirkel
On May 5, 2013
[Note from Mercedes: This channeling was given at an ongoing group I lead that’s dedicated to supporting people in the ascension process. We had just engaged a discussion of changing the format of the group to become more co-creative by forming a council to determine what would happen in the gatherings rather than having one person (me) in charge. Isis is referring to this change as she begins her communication.]
*******************
Blessings dear ones. This is Goddess Isis.
I am thrilled to be with you this morning. I feel especially moved to be here because of the process that you have just gone through, which speaks so directly to my heart. You are moving in the direction of the higher beings and I am filled with joy by this. I see the light increasing around you and around what you are creating together. What you are underway with is so important. It is an essential part of the ascension process. For this is truly how we operate as higher beings. We operate as group entities, in different configurations—depending on the purpose, the beings that are involved, and their particular level of development. But what you are engaging is very much in the direction of the higher dimensions.
So I feel drawn to be with you and my heart is responding so strongly to what you are creating through this co-creative process. For truly it has been said—and it is absolutely the case—that the old model of having a leader and followers is coming to an end. It was something that you all needed to explore for a period of time. And it is something that you are so ready to go beyond. At this point, it is a limit to continue in that model.
It is important to clarify—because sometimes there is confusion when beings are used to this old model of the leader/follower roles—that this isn’t to say that there won’t be people stepping into leadership roles for particular functions. If someone has a gift, if someone has a talent or a strength, it is wise to allow them to lead and to offer that gift and that talent. It is just that it is done for particular purposes and functions, and it is done in service to the whole. It is not done as an authority, or as a power model or function. The authority and power are held by the group, always—by everyone in the group. It is very essential that you realize that everyone has power and that the group does not have its full power if everyone is not contributing their individual power.
Part of the old model that you’re releasing is your understanding, or awareness, or perception of what is power, what is strength, what is a gift. Many people have gifts that are currently not being recognized—often by themselves, and often by others. In the past, you have had a certain model or an image of what it is to contribute, what it is to lead, or who has those qualities, those strengths, those abilities. This is part of what you’re going beyond. You often thought that people who were assertive were the ones who should be the leaders. And there are times, of course, when that is important and that gift is very valuable. But there are times when the ones who are less assertive have gifts that are very valuable. There are times when the quiet ones are most valuable and have the most to offer. Part of the challenge that you are all going into is to recognize and embrace the gifts and powers of all—to create a form and a structure that includes all, allows all to give, allows all to receive from all.
This may seem confusing to you because you are accustomed to the old ways of operating and of interacting with others. But you will find it exceedingly doable and enjoyable and exciting, and it will feed you. You will have so much energy from operating in this way, which you haven’t had before. It will feed you and you will come to cherish this process, just the way that you cherish having a lover and exchanging your energies through sexuality. Not to say that you’re going to be having sex (as you know it) in these group situations. But you will enjoy an exchange of deep energy with others, a most wonderful exchange that will enliven you, teach you so much, bring you joy. You will come to value this in a way that perhaps is new to you or you haven’t experienced in the past. I am very excited for you to move into this experience and this kind of joy.
You have been so habituated and accustomed to separation, to a level that most of you have no idea how much it’s affected you. I am delighted and truly excited to watch as you open up, step-by-step, to going beyond these self-imposed limits of separation, which you have assumed. You oftentimes aren’t realizing how much your orientation to separation is limiting you, how much more there is to experience when you go beyond those limits. And so I applaud you, I cheer you on and support you tremendously, as you open to this new way of operating and explore it. You have so many wonderful things ahead, more than you realize.
I am aware that my words may sound surprising, or even a little hard to believe for some of you who are not experiencing joy in your life right now, who perhaps are experiencing hardship, difficulty, struggle, even disappointment or despair. I am not negating that there are hardships. Your hardships in your life are real. At this time, everything is being intensified, everything is being sped up and exaggerated. This is true for those on the ascension path—those calling in the light, those who are dedicated and committed and are even advanced themselves in being light-beings, but are still involved in the third dimension—as well as for others. This intensification process, this quickening, this exaggeration is showing up for many of you as difficulties, hardships, and struggles. It may be physical, it may be emotional—those are probably the two ways that you are experiencing the intensification the most.
There are various reasons for this. Some of you have agreed to take on things energetically for the planet as a whole, to support this process of ascension and to help everyone to make this move forward. You have agreed, at a soul level, to take on a portion of the transformation process. Thus, what you are experiencing is not entirely your own. It is to help make it possible for all to move forward.
Most of you who are in the ascension process are also very sensitive. You are experiencing the changes going on in a very strong, powerful way because these are strong, powerful changes. They are playing on your system, kind of like radio waves in the air that are picked up by a radio. That is similar to the way that you are experiencing these changes.
And then of course, you, yourself, are changing, which you are experiencing, as well. So it is understandable that all this could be challenging in many ways. There is so much that you are facilitating and drawing through your being at this time.
I want to acknowledge this, too, to thank all of you who are doing this. I encourage you to stay with it, to support yourselves in all the ways that you know how. It is very important to support yourself through your meditation and any other ways that are dedicated to connecting with God and with Spirit. This is extremely important, and only becoming more important, because you are becoming a being that is more directly connected to God. You are becoming more fed through your connection to God and less fed through the more third-dimensional, physical ways. Those ways will still support you and are still important, but your connection to God is becoming more important, along with your connection to the highest, most refined, sublime frequencies of energy that you are able to contact and connect with.
So I certainly encourage you all to support yourself. I also encourage you to begin, more and more, to support each other. This goes back to what I was talking about earlier. Your mutual support is going to become increasingly important because you are not living as separate beings anymore. You are beginning the transition of going beyond separation. Thus your dependence on each other is becoming greater. Your bonds to each other are becoming more important. It is very important that you understand this and start to shift in your orientation towards others.
It is important that you start asking others for help. This is one of the biggest things… When you are in the mode of separation, there is this idea of “I am on my own now. I need to handle things on my own.” And even, “I should be able to do it all on my own. There’s something the matter with me if I need to ask others for help.” This is a result of deep third-dimensional thinking of separation, of understanding yourself as separate and isolated and alone.
Now, as you are growing beyond that into the fourth dimension and beyond, you must shift. You must not see it as something being the matter with you if you need someone else’s help—that you are somehow lacking, or you’re weak, or you’re a burden to other people. Actually, you are simply starting to operate in greater wholeness. It is the way that the cells of your body operate. Your body would not be very functional if the cells did not depend on each other and function together in community, communicating with each other and expecting that they will all work together. This is the process that is going to be more and more the way that you, as seemingly individual beings, are going to be operating with other individual beings. When you ask them for help it will be a gift to them. They will be fed by your asking because you are simply reinforcing your oneness, your wholeness, your interconnection with all beings. And when they offer the help to you, they will experience themselves receiving from that, as well, because this is the nature of your relationship with each other, your non-separation. As you are in the process of making the shift from this third-dimensional consciousness into the fourth-dimensional consciousness, the mechanism that will bring this about most directly is through asking for help.
The other mechanism that will bring this about very directly is revealing yourself more openly to each other, showing yourself. The challenge for most of you in this will be showing yourself when you are going through difficulty—when you are emotionally disturbed or when you are upset with another person, when you’re confused and you don’t know how to proceed, when you’re in fear, when you’re sad… All of these are times when it will be important to start to reveal yourself. For most of you, this will be a new way of operating that’s different from the past. This, too, will help you to start to shift into this higher way of functioning.
As you develop, it will not be so necessary to do this in a verbal way, through speech. More and more you will be operating telepathically, empathically. You will start to be aware of each other the way that you are aware of yourself. But most of you are not fully there. Most of you are still being strongly affected by the strong pull of separation —almost like the pull of gravity. So especially in the beginning stages of making this transition, speech and communication will be very important.
There are ways to learn to communicate with greater skill. It is essential to always take responsibility for yourself, where you are not blaming others for what you are experiencing. But do not hold back, either. Openly show what your own experience is. The skill in doing this will become increasingly important.
So communicating what is going on with you and asking for help from others will support you.
Many of you overuse communication. Many of you use many words to say very little, because you are not truly connected to what is behind all the words. Part of your growth is to do deeper work, to understand yourself better so you know what is behind all the words you tend to use. It is a burden on others to use so many words. You do not realize how much this drains you and drains others, when the words are not connected to what is truly going on with you at a deeper level. A skill that would also be valuable for many of you to develop is to wait to speak until you are truly connected to your heart, your body, and your emotions, and to let your speech come out of that. It will not take nearly as many words as many of you tend to use. And when you do use words, they will be much more connecting for you with each other.
I sense I have said enough for now, and I hope that this has been helpful to you.

Mary Magdalene: There Is A Drama Going On
Part One of a Message
from Mary Magdalene
Received Through Mercedes Kirkel on April 21, 2013
Blessings my dear ones and welcome. I am so happy to have you here. I thank you all for coming on this morning, to be with me and to share with me in all the ways that you are. I love you. I have so much love for you. I am so passionate and full with my love, pregnant with my love, so much that I want to share with you, to help you, to offer whatever I can to be of service to you. In that spirit, I come to you this morning.
There is much that I have already shared, as was spoken about earlier and is recorded in the book that Mercedes has brought through from me. I do not feel I need to duplicate that at this time, for that is available to you always through the book and through Mercedes’s help. So I would like to share with you other things that are on my mind at this point and that I hope will be of value to you.
There is so much going on in your world. It is quite a juxtaposition right now between so many people moving forward at amazing speed, with great progress in their spiritual path and spiritual growth. And of course, you who are here today are all a part of that group. I acknowledge you and hope that you realize how strongly you are serving the spiritual process—for yourself but also for your world and for many beings, simply by the work that you are doing in the spiritual realm. You are doing it very well, amazing well, considering all the change you are all going through at such a rapid speed. For that is what is happening at this time—there is tremendous change and acceleration of change, so that you are all growing in a way that is unprecedented. It is so sped up. You are all to be acknowledged for the work that you are doing, and for even being able to go through this. For it is not an easy process. The kind of change that you are undergoing generally happens over a much greater period of time so that it is easier for the being to adapt, much the way you might think of evolution of a species happening in your world. It happens very slowly and very gradually. And it often happens through the birth process, where one generation will come through and be slightly different or altered from the previous generation. That is one of the more easeful ways that change can happen, especially in the third-dimensional realm.
But that is not what’s happening at this time. At this time, you are being changed as already incarnated, manifested beings. That is a much more difficult process. You’re even being changed physically, at the core of your being, in your DNA, in so many ways at the cellular level. But you are simultaneously being changed at all levels. You are being changed in terms of your emotions, in terms of your mind and your beliefs and thoughts. Energetically you’re being changed. All of this is part of the progression that I have described before, of moving into a higher dimension based on manifesting a higher consciousness.
It may sound very simple or straightforward when I speak about it or when you think about it. But the way that it actually happens in life is not simple and straightforward. It is challenging, oftentimes, for your body and whole being to change in these ways. And many of you are experiencing this. You’re experiencing change, upheaval, turmoil, unknowingness, discomforts, new symptoms, things happening in your life in ways they’ve never happened before. All of this can be confusing, disconcerting, can cause fear, insecurity, all sorts of things. It’s kind of like riding on a ship in a storm. It’s quite a wild ride and you don’t necessarily know what the outcome is going to be. This is what so many of you are experiencing right now.
You are to be greatly commended for your stalwartness, your perseverance, your dedication, your willingness to go through this. It is remarkable. It is a testimony to your strength and to your commitment to your spirituality, your spiritual growth, and spiritual path. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for what you are going through, and what you will continue to go through as part of this transition.
It will have different phases. Some phases will be easier. Some phases may seem more turbulent, or chaotic, or wild, or hard, or however they seem. It is an unfolding process. It is something that you, and we, cannot see in advance exactly how it will happen. But you are underway. You are on this course of transforming, like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly in your world. This is a very good analogy. But you are not becoming butterflies. You are becoming fourth-dimensional beings, energy beings. This is an enormous step forward in your evolution on all levels. That is what you are in the midst of.
While all this is happening, there is something else going on, which is that there is resistance to this in your world. There are many people who do not understand what is happening, who are not even aware that this transformation is going on. They see any signs of this transformation, this change as a threat to their world. They are fighting this change because they believe it is a kind of annihilation of themselves or the world as they know it. And in truth, change is always a kind of a death process. You are always letting go, releasing, dying to the old way, your old self, whatever that was. So there is truth in this point of view, to a certain extent, in that there is a death process underway.
But it is not only death, of course. It is death and rebirth, into so much of a more wonderful form, which even those who are resisting would enjoy so much more, if only they understood and could allow it. Yet they have their process to go through, too. They are not just the bad ones, the evil ones, the dark ones, resisting what should be happening. It may appear that way to you. But that is not actually an accurate understanding. They are as much a part of this change as you are, as the light workers are, as the ones who are trying to bring this change forth. You all have your roles and parts that you are playing. Their part is significant, as well. It is part of their spiritual evolution to do what they are doing. And it is part of your spiritual evolution for them to be doing that. It is all part of the entire process. So it is not that you are trying to do one thing and they are holding you back, or perhaps making it not work, making it impossible, capsizing the ship, whatever it is. That is not actually the case. This is all part of the grand process.
It is a delicate thing to describe your relationship to all of this, because I do not want to give the impression that you don’t need to do anything, that everything is perfect and just allow it all to be. That’s not the case. You have your role. Part of your role, which all of you have come here to do, is to be the light yourself, first and foremost—to be anchors for that light and holders of the light, to be part of creating this great network of light amongst all the beings who are doing this. That is, more than anything else, going to allow this transformation in your world to occur. Your role is also to carry out your individual life-purpose and life-plan, to further the light in your way. And that is your work to do. It is not simply to be passive, or to know that everything is fine and there’s nothing that needs to be done. That is not an accurate understanding, for it is very important that you do the work that you came to do, whatever that is.
If you are not clear about what your work is, it is to your benefit to become clear about that. You may ask for help from higher beings like myself, from your own personal guides, your angels. You can ask for help from those individuals who help others to connect with their guidance. You can ask for help directly from God, from your higher self, from all of your spirit-beings—however it is that you do that—through prayer, through talking with them, whatever form you use. You can look for signs in your life such as your passion, such as the things that bring in the light for you, such as the things that you do because you love them, you can’t help yourself but to do those. These are all signs that that is part of your path, which you have committed to and which you have taken on in this lifetime. So that is all of your work to do.
But, as I was saying, there are apparently beings who are not consciously on this path, and seem to be doing things that are obstructing or making this transformation more difficult, who are not supportive of this transformation—perhaps that is the best way to express it. These being need your love, more than anything else. They need your blessing and your prayers. Of course, there are things you can do to redirect the actions they’re taking. There might be political things, there might be personal things. Again, your action is important. But even more important is your understanding that these beings are on the path, also, and for you to find their light and to shine your light to them. You can always help them in that way, as well as by taking whatever practical steps you feel called to in relation to any particular beings or events.
In some ways, you might say there is a drama going on, a certain play of light versus dark, because this is a birth process into much greater light, and it’s real. It actually is happening. It is a death process of the old ways, the ways in which you have adapted to a certain frequency of light and darkness, a certain form that it has taken and with which you have become familiar. Now you are calling for the death of that. It is a real process, just as in the death of the physical body. In most cases, it is a process, which doesn’t just happen in a moment or by a single decision. It happens through a process because there are a great many things that must shift, that must release and let go before the transformation can occur.
So you will need to relax with this process, to flow with it. In the book I give the analogy of learning to open, the way a woman in childbirth learns to open. This is a good analogy that may be helpful to you. Any woman who has gone through childbirth knows that it is very real, there are real pains, real hardships that are involved, and that it is possible to relax in the midst of this and to flow with it in ways that make it much easier. So it is with your time now.
I think that is all that I wish to say at this time as a general communication to all of you who are listening to this.

Mary Magdalene: Receiving The Divine Feminine
An Excerpt From
MARY MAGDALENE BECKONS: JOIN THE RIVER OF LOVE
by Mercedes Kirkel
Greetings, beloved ~
I am here. Do not doubt my presence. Doubt is part of your mind. I am here to help free you from your doubting mind.
I have waited two thousand years to come forth, for the turning of the ages when the Divine Feminine can be received, honored, and reinstated in her rightful place as the equal partner and lover of the Divine Masculine. There is much to be done for this to be accomplished, for the Divine Feminine has suffered much repression and denial so that most are afraid of her and no longer know her. I am here to help change that. This is the time for the Feminine to come to the front, to lead in this progression into the new age. It is the time of love and honoring of the Feminine, listening to the Feminine, and allowing the Feminine to lead so that balance may be reestablished and we may become whole.
And what does this mean for all of you? You are in the process of learning to reconnect with, trust, and open to the Feminine within yourself—as your body, your sexuality, your emotions. You are learning to surrender your thinking to pure presence, to surrender your lower mind to the heart. In doing this, the veils surrounding your sacred mind can be lifted, and the marriage of the sacred heart and sacred mind can occur. You are to celebrate that marriage through the ongoing joy of bringing the light into your body, merging it with love, and sending this empowered love-light out into the world.
Many of you have become alienated from the Feminine within yourself. You’ve become afraid and cut off from your body and your emotions and your sexuality and your feeling heart. It will take practice and engagement of these sacred parts of yourself to reopen to these pathways of the Divine within you.
It is not enough to think about this change. It is not enough to gather knowledge. You are tending to be unbalanced with your collecting knowledge about the world, yourself, and what is happening. It can be helpful to understand, but that will not make a difference if it is not balanced with practice and action. It is like raising a child. If you are a parent and are raising a child, it can be helpful to read books, go to classes, and talk with others about raising children. But if that is all you do, you will not serve the children. Most important is what you actually do with the children that will make a difference for them, your engagement with them every day.
Right now, you are in a grand process of transformation and growth, and you are the parent to yourself. The most important thing is your engagement, your practice with yourself on a daily basis. The Feminine parts of yourself have suffered and are shut down, atrophied, from not being embraced and engaged for so long. So now it will take practice and engagement to change that.
There are some who understand this, who have engaged this practice themselves, and who can help you to learn these practices. This one who channels this message is such a one. Now is the time to learn these practices and engage them continually. It will take time, but such a short time compared to the eons of time that these parts of you have been shut down.
Your body is beautiful. Your sexuality is sacred. Your emotions are pathways to God. Your presence is a blessed gift. Your open heart is the most powerful vessel of transformation, of receiving divine light and empowering it with love. Understand this, but do not stop there. Learn the practices for receiving and transmitting love-light through all these channels, and practice this until it becomes a dance, a joy, a beautiful part of who you are and what you bring to all.
I love you most dearly. I champion your transformation, and through that the transformation of your world.
In love and light,
I AM Mary Magdalene
MERCEDES COMMENTARY:
This was the first transmission I received from Mary. I had just begun meditating when I felt a distinct, tangible presence near me. The presence seemed especially strong around my throat, where I clearly sensed a blockage of energy. I focused my intention on releasing whatever obstructions were keeping me from opening my throat center and allowing the energy to come through. Suddenly the voice of Mary Magdalene began to speak through me, and she gave the entire message, exactly as it is written above.
After receiving her communication, I rested for a moment, glowing with the wonder and beauty of what I’d been given. My sense of peace was short-lived, however, as a disturbing thought arose in my consciousness: I probably wouldn’t remember most of what she’d said! Without hesitating, I asked Mary to give me the message again while I typed it into my computer. And she did just that, repeating word for word exactly what she’d expressed the first time. If I had any remaining doubt that she had actually communicated with me, this second round of transmission totally dispelled my disbelief.
By the time she had finished, I felt infused with Mary’s energy and was in a transformed state. I felt blissful, yet balanced and calm: my body was rested, my heart wide open, and my mind clear and energized. I was thrilled to have received this exquisite, powerful message. And I was amazed at her brilliance, not only in terms of the quality of her ideas but also the way she delivered her entire message in perfect form. I simply recorded her words without changing anything, and suddenly I became the custodian of impeccable insight and wisdom.
At a deeper level, I was struck by the love and compassion flowing through her words. These qualities proved to be a hallmark of all her messages: Mary didn’t shy away from speaking directly about any topic, yet she voiced her ideas with kindness and care—as though shining the light of love on areas of darkness or shadow. I was amazed at the way she could address complex topics with grace and economy while still packing an enormous depth of meaning into each sentence. I came to see her style as characteristic of the way a higher-dimensional being thinks and communicates.
Mary began this communication by saying that doubt is part of our mind and that she is here to free us from it. It seems that living with chronic levels of doubt is an effect of separation from the Divine Feminine. When our minds are disconnected from the rest of ourselves—from our bodies, our sexuality, and our emotions (which Mary describes as the Feminine parts of our being)—one result is habitual doubt. I believe she wants to free us from our doubting minds through reuniting us with the Divine Feminine.
Because I have a strong tendency to doubt myself, Mary’s opening statement about doubt felt personal to me. I was immediately confronted with my doubt: Was she actually communicating with me? Or was I just fabricating this whole thing? Was I evolved enough as a spiritual being to be receiving a message from Mary Magdalene? And why would she choose me?
However, as soon as she had connected with me and my feelings of doubt, she moved on to a universal message, which I sensed was what she really wanted to speak about. It was as though she was speaking to me and through me—addressing everyone who experiences doubt in any form, since the roots of doubt reside in our divorce from the Feminine parts of ourselves.
After her initial references to doubt, Mary began speaking directly about the Divine Feminine, saying she’s waited two thousand years—since Yeshua’s life—to bring this message. The Divine Feminine has been suppressed and denied to the point that most of us fear the Feminine and are alienated from that part of life. But now, with the “turning of the ages,” the Divine Feminine is stepping forth to lead us into a new age. We are being called to love, honor, and listen to the Feminine, allowing her to lead us back into balance.
I understand the “turning of the ages” as a reference to a number of things: the transition out of the astrological age of Pisces into the age of Aquarius; the galactic alignment in 2012, which will usher in a new age of unity consciousness; and the predictions that we are on the brink of entering a new epoch in human history, which indigenous peoples sometimes refer to as the fifth world. Mary tells us that this new era is a time when the Divine Feminine can be reinstated in her rightful place as the equal partner and lover of the Divine Masculine.
Mary’s emphasis on creating a foundation of understanding about the Divine Feminine was evident in her tone of calm urgency. I realized that she wants people to understand that right now is a very special time, a time that is significantly different from times past. Through her inspiring, galvanizing words I understood that she is here as an emissary of the Divine Feminine to help guide us into a new chapter in our evolution. As she clearly proclaims, the time has finally come: the Divine Feminine can now take her seat alongside the Divine Masculine. That she has been waiting two thousand years to do so is quite remarkable to me. And her reference to the Divine Feminine as partner to the Divine Masculine strongly evokes her connection with Yeshua, opening a door in my heart of great tenderness and vulnerability as I am reminded of the love bond between them that’s at the core of her revelations.
Every time I return to this first message, I’m struck by Mary’s power as she calls for this change. Yet, her call does not in any sense indicate a desire for the Divine Feminine to take precedence over the Divine Masculine. She’s inviting us to equality, partnership, and ultimately to a union of the two. The Divine Masculine has been deprived of his partner for a very long time, and at last the partnership with her can be reestablished. This union isn’t just “out there” somewhere, outside of us. Mary emphasizes that this same partnership lives within each of us. Thus, she’s simultaneously calling us to partnership in the external world and to our wholeness as individually manifest beings.

Higher Self: That Doesn’t Work Anymore
A Message From The Higher Self
Given Through Mercedes Kirkel On April 7, 2013
Note from Mercedes: This message was given to me personally from my Higher Self. However, I was guided to share it publicly because it contains so much universal truth, and because many others are experiencing similar things right now and thus can benefit from this.
Blessings my dear one,
This is your Higher Self. I am the one who is most connected to you, most in love with you, most dedicated to you in the most intimate way. There are others who are devoted to helping you—your angels, guides, teachers, loved ones, and higher beings who are connected to you. All are most lovingly connected to you and wanting to help you. But I am different because I am a part of you, your God-self part. So today I am speaking to you.
You have started to go through the ascension process for real, and it is disorienting you. This process is real and can be intense. It is not just an ephemeral, airy-fairy thing. It is about literal transformation, which includes the transformation of your physical being. You are being restructured, reconfigured, and it is affecting you at all levels. In some ways it is like what beings go through at the physical when they have surgery. That is an extreme example, but there is a certain shock and reorientation that your being is going through because you are being changed, almost like you’re being changed from the outside. That isn’t so, it’s not from the outside. It’s happening simultaneously with all of yourself, but it is foreign to you in a certain way and you’re going though a huge adaptation.
In the midst of this, you are struggling with your old, familiar mindset. So you are thinking about your obligations and responsibilities (most of which are self-created in your case) and feeling like you need to fulfill them. You are also feeling worried about your physical survival, how you’re going to make enough money to support yourself now and into the future.
What you are being called to do is to let go, at a very profound level. You’re being called to let go of your worries, especially about money and about meeting your obligations, which you have created for yourself. This will take tremendous trust on your part, to allow your life to unravel from the third-dimensional concepts of responsibility. You are being called to start to live in the fourth dimension, but you are resisting it.
You have been sick this week and you have rightly suspected that this has to do with change you need to make. This is what will happen if you don’t allow this process to unfold and progress and take over your life the way it wants to. You will become sick. Literally. So now you are sick. And you are noticing that, because you don’t have very much energy, you are reduced to only doing the things that give you energy, rather than the things you tend to do out of self-control and discipline—things you don’t necessarily want to be doing, but feel you “should” or “must” do.
At the third dimension, you can make yourself function that way and it will sort of work, although you won’t be deeply happy. But you can convince yourself with your mind that you’re happy enough and this is the best you can expect, etc.
But at the fourth dimension, that doesn’t work anymore. It won’t work to force yourself to do what you think (in a third-dimensional way) you need to do. Now, at the fourth dimension, you’re too energetically based, and that kind of forcing will simply cause your light to dim and eventually go out. It’s like starving yourself energetically. Now you need to cultivate a very different relationship to the way in which you decide how to spend your time and energy. It won’t work to do it from your mind and beliefs in a way that’s dominating and overriding your feelings and energy and body. Your feelings and energy and body have more power now and they will simply revolt, as yours have recently. They cannot be dominated by the mind in the way you’re used to from the past.
So now you must start to listen to your feelings and energy and body, and trust them. This is not easy, even for someone like you who is so emotionally based. You still have received the deep enculturation that your feelings and energy and body aren’t trustable, aren’t safe. So it’s scary for you to trust them, especially when they’re leading you somewhere other than your rational mind wants to go in the old, third-dimensional way of operating.
So what is it that your feelings and energy and body are telling you?
Mercedes: I want to cry. I want to be warm and near water. I want to be in connection with at least one other person who I feel cares about me and is there for me. I want to write the next book. I want to trust that I’ll be supported and will have enough to take care of myself as long as I’m physically manifested. I want to see my daughter. I want to be in Hawaii. I want to have more connection with people and feel like I’m serving in some way. I want to fulfill my service to Mary Magdalene.
Higher Self: And what is giving you joy right now?
Mercedes: I’ve been surprised recently that it’s actually giving me joy to do mundane things like bookkeeping and entering book contests. It brings order and structure to my life in a way that’s aligned to my circumstance of still functioning in the third-dimensional world. Doing private sessions gives me joy. The events I’ve been leading have been a mixture. They give me joy when I’m leading, but the preparation and logistics have been stressful, partly because I want to be doing other things—especially working on the next book—and partly because I’m doing them so alone. I want to have more companionship and collaboration and mutuality in the events. I really want more mutuality in my life. How can I have that?
Higher Self: Mutuality is a very fourth-dimensional quality. In the third-dimensional world, mutuality is usually manifested through a family, a church, or a business—occasionally through a club or social group. But the first three have more motivating force and cohesiveness because they are meeting more core needs—for family and love and personal support in the case of family; financial support and purpose in the case of a business; and spiritual communion and companionship in the case of a church. Right now you don’t have that kind of mutuality in any of those areas. So it is natural that you should be feeling a desire for that, especially because the need for mutuality is intensifying from your fourth-dimensional growth and manifestation.
In your case, you have leadership qualities, but you do not entirely enjoy being in the leadership role. You also have fear of letting go and allowing others to take charge. You have fear of asking others to help. On top of that, you are extremely sensitive and are extremely aware of any differences or lack of coherence between yourself and others. All these things create challenges for you in manifesting mutuality in your life.
Mercedes: Would it be helpful for me to strengthen my Masculine aspect of living in gratitude more, appreciating what I do have rather than focusing on what I don’t have?
Higher Self: For you, it will be more valuable to follow your feelings. You can follow your feelings while still maintaining respect for others and gratitude for what you’re receiving. But your feelings will set you on the course you need to be on, where as the other approaches can easily mislead you.
Mercedes: I’m afraid to follow my feelings. They seem like they’ll lead me to doing what I want, but I can’t see how that will support me.
Higher Self: When you need to change what you’re doing, your feelings will guide you to that. This is a profound shift for you into trusting the Feminine and Mother God.
Do you remember the story you like to tell of the beaver? If a beaver breaks one of its front teeth, the other tooth will continue to grow unchecked, because the two teeth hold each other in balance and in check. Eventually the remaining tooth will grow so big that the beaver can no longer close its mouth and it will starve to death. This is what has happened in your world in general relative to the Masculine and Feminine. The Feminine has been so suppressed and you have been so cut off from her that it’s as though she doesn’t exist. The Masculine, in turn, has grown beyond all proportion and bounds, and now you are starving, especially spiritually, from the overgrowth of the Masculine, which is not in balance and held in harmony by the Feminine.
So now, to trust the Feminine and open to Her in a real way feels like you may be committing suicide, when in actuality the opposite is true. You’re committing suicide to not open to her. I know that seems extreme, but look at what you’re experiencing in your life. You can’t function in the old way anymore of just listening to your mind (the Masculine) and ignoring the rest. It’s not working. And to start to listen to your feelings and heart, and then follow that, seems like you’re blotting out and negating the Masculine. But that’s not what’s really happening. You’re just coming back into balance. It’s like you’ve leaned so far to one side for so long that eventually that starts to feel normal and balanced, as though you’re centered. Then when you actually come back to center, standing up straight with the two sides of your body really balanced, it will initially feel like you’re leaning to the other side. That’s just the way it is, until you readjust.
You are going to be fine. You have been told this many times. When will you believe it? Are you ready to let yourself be supported by the universe, by God, by others? That is part of the Feminine and you’re resisting it, out of fear. The more you resist it, the worse you will feel and the harder your life will become. Are you ready to receive, to open to a new way of operating in the world? That’s what you’re being called to. It’s funny because you’re worried about having enough, surviving, and ultimately receiving if you let go of your old way of operating. And yet the new way you’re being called to is all about receiving.
You are ready for this. That’s why it’s appearing in your life. It doesn’t mean it will be totally easy. It means that you’ll be successful in going through this and moving into the next level. We are all here supporting you and you are not alone, even though you still feel alone many times. Your aloneness comes from your disposition. You assume you’re alone and then operate in such a way that you block out your awareness of others, both at the physical level and at higher levels. Even though you have the capacity to communicate with beings at higher levels whenever you consciously choose and open to us, your indoctrination into the old, third-dimensional mindset of separation and fundamental aloneness is so strong that you still operate from that consciousness most of the time. That is changing and will inevitably change. And the strongest way you can cooperate with that change is to follow your feelings. It really is that simple.
This is what Mary Magdalene communicated through you in the book she gave to you. It’s what you share with others when you talk about her messages and what she communicated. And now it’s time for you to fully give yourself to this process. You’re ready and it will benefit you. You can trust this.
I love you and I believe in you. I am here to help you and I am always available to you. You will find me most directly through your feelings.
In love and service,
I AM your Higher Self

Angelus: The Gift of Being Childlike
A Message From Angelus
Received Through Mercedes Kirkel On March 3, 2013
Blessings dear ones. My name is Angelus. I am here to be with you today and very happy to be with you. I thank you for inviting all the beings of light in and for being open to receiving me.
Today I bring you the spirit of springtime, of new beginnings, of youth. You may think of it as being like the morning time, the time of openness, of new starts, like sprouts beginning to break through the earth, starting to appear in the beautiful, vibrant spring-green color.
This is the time that you are at right now in terms of your earthly cycle of the year, as you are approaching springtime. But it is also much bigger than that. You are approaching the very beginning of a new cycle—more than approaching, you have entered into it, but just barely. You are at the very beginning, like a newborn in this phase, this cycle. I have been called forth to bring the energy of this cycle to you, to talk to you about it.
This is a time of being like a child. It can be valuable to you to remember your own childhood, as well as connecting with the child that is still alive within you always, and your childlike ways. Children are open, especially in their minds and in their feeling. They are open to discover, to explore. They come to things with an open mind. This is something that would be very valuable for you to remember and to practice at this time. As much as you are able, release your sense of knowingness about the way things are, and come with a childlike sense of newness, of unknowingness, of discovery, of exploration. This will help you very much because there are many, many things that are new right now. But you will not be sensitive to them if you are carrying on as though everything is the same and you know it already.
This childlike approach to the world brings with it many benefits. One is a sense of wonder and oftentimes joy. There can be a sense of playfulness, even silliness, and a sense of following your heart and your intuition without having to know why, a sense of what may feel like abandon to you. It is not really abandon, but you are allowing yourself to be guided by a different source than you may usually be accustomed to. This can be most valuable to you at this time.
You may enjoy actually spending time with children. This may help you to be in this childlike disposition. It is very valuable to let go of all your thinking about things and your seriousness. Even the way you tend to approach letting go of your mind can be quite serious. This is a very different approach, to be in your discovery-being, to open to your perceptions, your senses, your feeling, your intuitions. It can be supported by a kind of dreaming. This could be like daydreaming, but it does not have to be. It can be more like creativity, the kind of dreaming that you do when you let yourself be very creative, not knowing what you’re going to do, but letting it come out of you as a creative process that even surprises you as it emerges. This can be a very valuable state to you at this time. You may not choose to continuously be in this state. But allow yourself to experience it regularly, to go to it, and it will help you. It will allow this process that’s unfolding at this time to occur, and to emerge, and to evolve at the speed it wants to. Your seriousness, your sense of knowingness, and even being programmed to do things in a set way that you’re used to, is actually greatly slowing down your process. This will help you to go at the speed that your being wishes to at this time, as though you had wings on your feet.
And so I encourage this and support this, and believe this will be a great service to you and a great help. This is my gift and my offering to you at this time.
I also want to say that it can be very supportive of this to allow yourself to express with your creativity. This can be in the form of singing, dancing, writing, acting, visual arts. All the forms of artistic expression can help with this and can be a particular form of joy and guidance for you at this time, and also freeing of your heart and your childlike nature. I urge you to engage in this, as well. It will also be very valuable.
You can do it as a completely creative process. You can also do it through engaging in forms that have already been created, but that you enjoy with a childlike enthusiasm and that again sets this aspect of yourself free and energizes it. That will be most valuable.
Experiment with bringing your playfulness to others, your creativity in the moment, even your sense of surprise. See if that opens things up to new possibilities that are valuable and enjoyable to you. I suspect that this will be the case and look forward to your experimentation and exploration with this.
This is a beautiful time, an exciting time of new growth, new beginnings, new things emerging. Don’t miss it. Be with it fully. And bring it to others in the way that you interact.
Thank you for allowing me to bring this message to you. Now if you have any questions of me, I would like to respond to your questions.
Question: How would you relate this to business or work? How can we be in that joyful, childlike space when we’re doing day-in and day-out type work, like computer work?
Angelus: Yes, it might feel more challenging in those circumstances. You can ask your child how to make it more enjoyable, how to make it more fun. Your child might help you to make more of a game out of it, or to somehow bring more of that delight and energy to it, which will help you to bring more lightness and joy to your work. You might be surprised at how you can include this.
You may support yourself with certain other things, certain music, or pictures, or whatever supports you in this childlike disposition. Or take breaks. Get up and dance, and sing, or do a somersault on the floor, or whatever! (laughter). And if you’re involved with other people, let yourself be a little more playful, a little bit more childlike with them. There are many, many ways you can bring this. It is mostly about your disposition, about not taking things so seriously, not assuming that everything’s always the same, and you know what it is, and you’re doing it the same as you’ve always done it in the past. That will help you.
You may choose to do things somewhat differently, as you are able. You may not have complete choice about everything. But there will be places where you will have choice and you can choose to engage your work in a more childlike, playful way, or perhaps to just make a different choice altogether and do something different than you would otherwise do. So it is possible.
Question: Sometimes it feels uncomfortable being childlike because it puts you in such a vulnerable place. The kind of innocence we naturally have as children is sometimes hard to bring forward as an adult who’s been hurt or who’s somehow lost touch with that ability to just be open like that.
Angelus: Yes. This is a valuable point you are making—being childlike does bring us into our vulnerability. You have discovered the heart of it, the secret of it. This vulnerability is both the value of it and also, in some ways, the challenge of it. This is particularly so if you have been hurt in the past, perhaps when you were a child, perhaps when you were older, but connected to this kind of vulnerability. And it may especially be so if those wounded places have not yet been healed. So this may point to some healing that you have to do. The vulnerability you experience will help you to go directly to the places where you have healing to do. And it will be most valuable to you to do that healing.
You may choose to do that healing with others, who can help you. Or you may be able to do it on your own, because you have your more adult self, who can help to heal the child. Just as you would help a being who is actually at the child age in physical years, if they were to get wounded, you can similarly help your own self—the childlike part of yourself that is still unhealed—to go through that healing.
It is a process much like Mary Magdalene has described in the book that she gave through Mercedes [Kirkel]. It is a step-by-step process of first connecting with those feelings that are still there from the unhealed incident and, first of all, validating the feelings. Many children have been told that there feelings were wrong or bad or didn’t matter or they shouldn’t be having them. This is one of the reasons why the healing never occurred in the first place, because all of those things are not the case. Your feelings are beautiful. And they are part of your childlike self. Children very naturally and easily express their feelings. Look to babies and how easily babies express their feelings. They do not hold back until or unless they are trained to do so.
So the first step is to acknowledge those feelings and validate them, that they are real and important. Then you can progress through the healing process by listening to the child as to why they are having those feelings and helping them to go through the healing. You, as an adult, are wise. You can help them. And that will be very valuable for you.
Then, in the present time, when you are acting from this vulnerable part of yourself that is very much connected to your childlikeness, you can use your wisdom to take care of yourself. You will discover you are not in the same position you were in when you were an actual child. If someone does something to you that is somehow painful, you are capable of taking care of yourself and taking care of your childlike part, as well. You can learn how to do that and this will help you to become very strong, without becoming immune or cut off from your vulnerability and your childlikeness. This will make it so that you show your beauty, which is always on the inside, in the way that you act on the outside. It will be part of your radiance.
It is very Important that you do this. You were never meant to have your vulnerability cut off. You were only meant to be protected and safe, originally by the adults who were taking care of you, and then later by your own self as you acquired those skills and abilities. If that is not fully strong in you, this is important as an area to strengthen. And if that is not fully open in you, because of past wounding, this is important as an area for you to heal.
You have everything that you need to do that healing. All that you may lack is the choice to do so. I completely encourage you to engage this. If you need support, follow the instructions that have been given through Mary Magdalene and others. Or get help from others who are skilled in these areas and can help you. It is available. You simply must choose.
Are there other questions? (There is a period of silence.)
Being sensual is very valuable in this process. Your sense of touch and taste and smell—these three especially will help you explore your world and rediscover this link to your childlikeness, your innocence, your openness. All your senses, of course, are valuable to you. But these are especially wonderful.
I sense that I have said enough for today. I encourage you to all go out and play this afternoon, in whatever way your child is calling to you. I hope this has been helpful to you. I offer you my sincere love, my bountiful love, and blessings. Sparkles of light and wonder to you all. In love, I leave you now. Many blessings to you.

Sol: What Happens After Death, Diet In The New Age, And Functioning After Spiritual Awakening
Part 2 of A Channeled Message from Sol
Received Through Mercedes Kirkel on March 17, 2013
Question: Sol, you’re like us in that you’re born and someday you’ll die, the energy will leave. How close to us are you? Is there uncertainty in you about what happens after?
Sol: No. I am existing at a higher dimension, where time is not perceived the way that you perceive it. So I do not perceive myself as being in something after, the way that you do.
I also am so profoundly connected to God that I have no need to be of concern. I experience tremendous… what you might call bliss, peace, harmony, clarity about my purpose. And in that is tremendous trust that I will do this as long as it is part of the great plan. And when that is not so, I will be moved to whatever is part of the great plan at that point. I trust it will be equally perfect.
I cannot remember your question anymore. Would you please ask it again.
Question: Birth and death and what we become after seems like total uncertainty. It seems like we hold onto certainty…
Sol: It is uncertainty as you see it from the third dimension. To me it is simply waves of the ocean changing. I am still the ocean. Why would you hold onto a particular wave? It is simply one form.
It is the knowingness of yourself as God that makes all the difference. There is no uncertainty in God. In that absolute certainty, you can allow all change—all arising, appearance, disappearance, changing, reappearing, moving into another form, whatever it is. It becomes a great beauty, a great expression, the way you enjoy a flower.
So if that is not your reality at this moment, rather than placing your concern or attention on uncertainty, the path is to find your connection to God, to know the certainty of that connection and allow that to expand more and more. Allow this expansion in a natural way, not a forced way, not a forceful way, but a natural way.
It’s really like falling in love. In the third dimension, many of you have the experience of falling in love. It’s really a glimpse of the great glory you will know when you fall in love with God. More and more, you become merged with God and God’s qualities become your reality. At that point, you will know the certainty of God.
Question: I’ve heard that we’re shifting into the Aquarian energy, where people will eat food cooked by the Sun. That intrigues and excites me. How can we get to that point of choosing a diet that’s cooked by the Sun?
Sol: Eating food that’s cooked by the sun is one aspect of having a life altogether that is infused by light and love, in this case the light of the Sun and the love of the Sun. Diet is—especially at the third dimension—a primary aspect of life. It is an aspect that supports and sustains you. It also brings you great pleasure and that is a very good thing, a very valuable thing, an aspect of God. Delight is pleasure.
There are different ways of approaching this. One is that as you eat more and more pure foods—pure in the sense that they hold life-energy, the life-energy that came through the Sun and the Earth, and the joining of the two—you are supported more and more in that energy within yourself. So it is of value to you to eat a diet that is optimally natural in that sense. There are many things being added to foods through technology that are taking away from this purity of light and love, the Earth- and Sun-energy that has been infused into food, and blocking that. So it is of value to you to eat foods that are as pure as possible, which many in your world label as organic. That is a very valuable process.
Eating this way also supports the process of light and love infusing your world, because when food is not grown in a pure way or an organic way, the chemicals that are used interfere with the Earth’s energy of holding light and love. So just in a very practical way—for the Earth, for all the beings on the Earth, and for your own body—eating natural foods supports that process at many levels.
That, in turn, supports the spiritual process, which, as you say, is going through an emergence into a new age at this time. As you grow in this spiritual process—this ascension into what you could call the Aquarian age or the fourth dimension, there are different ways of referencing it—you will more and more be operating at the higher frequencies of light and love, including higher frequencies in the third dimension and moving into the next dimension. As you more and more operate at these higher frequencies, they have a purifying effect. So the effects of this toxicity on the Earth, through your food stream but also through many other avenues, will be lessened. You will have a healing effect upon this toxicity, through the light-energy and the love-frequency that you yourself are carrying, along with many others. It will have a power of healing. And you will be personally less affected by these physical and energetic forms of toxicity as you move into higher levels.
At these higher levels, you will naturally gravitate toward the purity of food substances and all substances that are carrying the higher frequencies of light and love. As you are more attuned and resonating with the higher frequencies within yourself, this is what you will be attracted to outside yourself. It will be a natural process of more and more being attracted to these foods and also, more and more, these types of foods being sufficient to truly sustain you to your optimum level.
When you are operating at a more dense frequency, you may require more dense foods. This is not a judgment upon anyone, or what they eat or take into their body. But there is a physical reality that everyone has a certain frequency they’re operating at. And at that particular frequency, there will be optimal foods for them. It is to your advantage to take in what is optimal for you at your present time, as opposed to having a preference through your belief system for what you would like to be eating, which may not match what is actually most supportive for you.
Many people who are on the spiritual path desire to be eating foods that are lighter. They might desire to be vegetarian, or vegan, or raw foods, or breatharian. And in fact, at different stages of ascending to higher frequencies, these various diets will tend to be more appropriate. But they may not be the most appropriate for you at your present stage, or any particular stage. And if they’re not, it will not be supporting your spiritual growth to be trying to take in a diet that’s not attuned to your current frequency.
It is part of your awareness, and in some ways responsibility, to find the diet that is most supportive for you. For some people this includes animal foods; for some people it doesn’t. For some people this may include cooking; for some people it doesn’t. It may change for you over time. It may change from this moment to that moment. So it is part of staying in tune to yourself and what is most valuable for yourself.
But it is good and often helpful to be aware that over time, particularly as you grow into higher energies, your diet may change. It very likely will become lighter and you will be eating foods that are higher frequency, lighter foods. You also may be eating lighter quantities of foods. Eventually you may be living solely on the sustenance you receive from air, from light, or you may not. This is to be seen. But it will be a natural process that will unfold naturally. And while it is understandable that you may look forward to a time when you are sustained by other things than perhaps you are now, do not try to force it. It will become your natural movement when it is right for you.
One of the biggest traps is to become overly serious. This blocks the light. Joy, fun, pleasure are all things that open you to light. Do not become overly serious about your diet, while still staying attuned to what is most supportive of you and staying in service to that.
Do not become overly serious about any aspect of your world. Do your part. Stay in the light. Stay in joy. Trust in the power of light. Enjoy the love. And you will be fine.
Question: I used to be a strong spiritual seeker. I reached a point in my life where I realized and embraced the fact that I was always part of the thing that I was seeking. I was a spark of consciousness in a sea of consciousness. I’ve never been separate from it. From that place I looked out at my world and realized that this is just a divine play of consciousness, with lots of sparks of consciousness all interacting and playing in this divine dance with each other, some pretending that they’re separate, some embracing the consciousness that they’ve always been part of. And there’s no death. It’s just consciousness changing and moving between forms.
The more I’ve embraced this as my reality, the more I realize that it really doesn’t matter what I do. So what do I do? I’m not motivated by fear anymore, which is the main thing that used to motivate my direction in life. Without the fear, there’s no motivation to do very much at all. Do you have some insight on this?
Sol: I feel tremendous joy in hearing your expression. I see delight increased through your words and my heart is happy.
This is truly a very accurate description of the process that all beings are moving into. Different ones will have different experiences as they go through this. For many, there is a shift that occurs at this point from being propelled by this desire for reunification, which shows up in every form. Oftentimes beings don’t realize this is what’s propelling them. They think it’s about getting a job, being successful, having a family, having fun, whatever it is. But those are simply manifestations of this intrinsic movement that beings have to know themselves in union with God.
Once that has occurred at the core level, where there is a shift of knowing yourself in this union, all those things that propelled you before tend to fall away, as not having that force of propulsion moving you to want to do this or that. At that time there’s often a shift into service of others. So that is one form that can manifest at that stage.
At a deeper level it’s really a shift from a kind of unconscious motivation, generally associated with fear. The fundamental fear is the fear of separation, which is separation from God, ultimately. This sense of separation and fear that has been motivating you prior to knowing your reunification with God shifts into passion and pleasure. Passion and pleasure are, in general, manifestations of soul purpose. They’re often associated with service to others and the whole. But there can be different forms that this takes. Oftentimes it takes the form of being called to certain work in life. Some feel it as a kind of calling or mission that you have passion about. You don’t have to think about it, it simply is drawing you.
But it may not take that form for everyone. It may take the form of simple beingness. In that beingness, you are still always offering service, through your state of being. In truth, that is the fundamental service we always offer.
Your soul knows its path. As long as you are here, there is a purpose for you being here. It may not be apparent to your mind what that is. It is a matter for your higher self to direct you and inform you, for your highest good.
There are times when it is not necessary to be doing anything in particular. There are reasons for this, which may not be apparent at the time you go through those periods. If you are used to knowing—the way that most beings are used to at the third dimension in the Earth plane—this may feel uncomfortable. It may be helpful to communicate as directly as you’re able with your higher self (or to have support in communicating with your higher self, if that feels valuable to you)—to be able to come to peace with the degree that you know or do not know, understand or do not understand what this period of time may be about for you.
So those are your supports through this process: your connection to your higher self, and your connection to your passion and your joy, even if your passion and your joy come in very still forms.
Now I believe it is a good time for us to come to a close for today. I thank you all for your being. I thank you all for the spiritual light that you are, for attuning to the light of the Sun, the light of the universe, the light of God. I thank you for this time we have had together, which has been a great celebration for me. And I offer you my blessings. Blessings of light to you all.
