MARY MAGDALENE: Knowing Your Soul Path and Soul Agreements
Part 3 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 7, 2013
Question: Do we each have an individual path that we have already decided upon before our birth or are things changing as time moves on? For instance, maybe God planned to use us (those of us who pray to surrender our lives) in one way, but with the way things have gone, could better use us in an entirely different way? What is the best way to serve God and the highest good of all involved?
Mary Magdalene: Thank you for your question. This has to do with the process of what beings decide before taking on an incarnation and how that affects them in their incarnation. It is true that before a being incarnates on the third dimension—on Earth, as the example we’re talking about right now—that individual makes very specific agreements relative to what they want to experience in their lifetime and how they want to serve. They decide how they want to make use of their spiritual gifts and their spiritual energy, for the greater good of many. This is what you might call living your life purpose. It is a combination of both furthering your own personal soul growth through your incarnation, and also bringing energy and manifesting for the greater good of many beings while you are incarnate.
In general, souls do make soul agreements before they incarnate. The major events of your life are chosen at that time, prior to your birth. However, within that there is a great deal of space for your free choice during your lifetime and your incarnation as to the more day-to-day aspects of what you will be choosing in your life. You also have choice, to a certain extent, as to the ways you will be fulfilling the agreements you made. So it is a combination. There is free choice after you incarnate, and it is also true that you have exercised your free choice as a soul prior to incarnating. Some of what you are experiencing in your Earth life is the continuation and the fulfillment of those choices at this level.
However, one of the challenges in the Earth plane is that you do not remember this process. You do not remember the soul choices you made. For many, it is a confusing process to have clarity about what your soul path is and to feel confident that you are on your soul path.
There are two things I would suggest that are most helpful in knowing and being clear about your soul path, and being confident that you are following your soul path. One is to be very connected to your heart and to allow your heart to guide you. This is something that I have spoken about before. I talked about this in depth in the book that I gave through Mercedes, Mary Magdalene Beckons. That book contains many messages from me about how to be in your heart. This is very important for many people at this time.
What many people don’t understand is that it is not simply about desiring or intending to be in your heart. That must be supported by your very real relationship with your body, your sexuality, and your emotions. Your degree of development and mastery in these three areas will greatly influence your ability to be in your heart or not. So I have urged many times that people focus on and become strong in these three arenas, handling anything that you need to handle that is not full and strong in these areas.
The one that is most challenging for people, in general, is the emotional arena and the way that people respond to emotional pain. I have given great instruction through Mercedes and through the book that she created out of my instruction, which is available to people to help you in that area. I again urge people to make use of this to help you to stay in your heart, which will inform you as to what your true soul path is. It’s confusing if you are coming from your mind. Your mind is important and your mind supports you in many ways. But your mind is not capable of having the kind of clarity at the soul level that your heart does. This is why being strong in your heart will be a great support.
The other reason that being strong in your heart is a great support is because it allows you to open to your higher self. Your higher self has access to your soul wisdom and your soul path. So once you are strong and able to be stably seated in your heart, you will be able to make this connection with your higher self. And your higher self can help to give you the information you need as to what your soul wants you to be doing.
It is not so much that there is another, separate being, who you might refer to as “God,” who has plans for you as to what you should be doing for your soul work or soul purpose in this lifetime. It is your higher self that will be guiding you. Your higher self is an aspect of God manifesting individually for you. You will understand over time that God is not a separate being somewhere else who is directing the play of events here on Earth. Everything that is here, everything that is manifested is an aspect of God. You are an aspect of God. All is an aspect of God. Your higher self is the part of you that remembers this most clearly. Your higher self can help you to remember your God-self and know your path as your God-self. As you grow spiritually, this will all become much clearer. But for most beings at the third-dimension, this tends to be a confusing area.
Opening to your higher self will help you to have the clarity you need. This is a very important part of the transformation that all beings are in the process of right now. Opening to your higher self will help you to move into the next stage of spiritual growth that humanity as a whole is prepared to move into and is in the process of going into at this time. In whatever way you are able to connect with your higher self, that will help you.
For most people, this will involve a progression that requires that you first have the ability to open your heart and to live from your heart. Within that step, there is a progression of doing things that allow you to be in your heart—mastering the areas of your body, your sexuality, and your emotions so that your heart can open and you can become stable in living from your heart. On that basis, you will find an ease in opening to your higher self. And your higher self will begin to guide you.
This is the most personal form of your guidance in God. It does not come from a separate God who is in charge. Your higher self is God, and this is the aspect of God that is most directly accessible to you.
I offer you my fullest blessings and love, and support you in your process. I urge you to strengthen whatever needs strengthening. And of course, I am not just speaking to you. I am speaking to all beings in saying this, that all may become full in living in their heart and connecting with their higher self, which will give you the wonderful gift of understanding what is right for you in each moment of living your path in God.
Blessings to you my dear one.

A Lesson In Compassion
By Mercedes Kirkel
The last blog post, “Why Evil People Flourish While Good People Suffer,” generated more controversy than anything else I’ve posted to date! Most of the controversy involved people’s wide-ranging beliefs relative to evil and good, including what evil and good really are and whether they exist at all. I found the great diversity of responses quite interesting. Reading them gave me an important insight as to why I was so moved by Mary Magdalene’s message.
I strongly recommend reading that post if you haven’t already. In short, it’s Mary Magdalene’s response to a question that was posed to her, asking why evil people flourish while good people suffer. The question was submitted to me in advance, so I could ask it of Mary on behalf of everyone. When I received the question, I imagined how Mary might respond. In Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love, Mary states that beings in the higher dimensions do not see things in terms of good-bad, right-wrong, good-evil, etc. So I anticipated that Mary would respond in a similar vein, perhaps also addressing the pain that might stimulate someone to see the world in that way.
Whenever I pre-guess how Mary is going to respond, I’m almost always wrong. It’s one of the things that consistently affirms to me that it’s Mary speaking and not me. This time was no different.
In this particular instance, when I asked the question of Mary, the feeling-sense I had was of tremendous compassion. I felt Mary tuning into the state of the questioner with great love, while thanking the person for asking that question and acknowledging the distress it was causing for that individual. Then I felt her reaching—stretching to bridge her reality to the experiences of the person asking the question. But it was done through feeling, not ideas. Her words were simply ways to support the sharing of her heart-experience with that being.
It was clear to me that Mary was feeling the person. She was experiencing a person in pain and deeply considering how she could help them. It reminds me of what I used to teach in parenting classes: When a young child hurts themself, attend to their physical and emotional pain in the moment. Hold them. Help them breathe and calm down. Help them through their pain. Don’t lecture them. They won’t hear it in that moment anyway. They’re in too much pain to receive any instruction about what they “should have done” or “shouldn’t have done.” Save the education for later, when you’re both calm, balanced, and open.
By contrast, my impulse was to educate. I was coming from my mind and assuming a position of subtle superiority—that my views were more correct. In noticing how Mary responded and how it was different from what I was expecting, I saw that she was coming from her heart. It didn’t stop her from communicating ideas, but I could tell that was secondary. And her heart informed her which ideas would be most helpful to this particular person, in this particular situation. While it was obvious from the responses I received to her message that her answer touched and helped many people, it wasn’t the same kind of universal message I’ve received from her at other times, when she was in more of a pure teaching mode. This was for one person, who was in pain.
I was reminded of this again at the end of her communication, when she sincerely expressed that she hoped what she communicated had helped and said that her heart went out to that person. I so strongly felt her caring and love, as well as her genuine respect for an individual wanting to understand and grow.
I think that sometimes, in our enthusiasm for what we ourselves have learned, our excitement to share it with others, and our hope to contribute through doing that, we may lose some of our caring and respect for another person who’s in pain. We become more connected to the concepts than to the person. Mary taught me a huge lesson about this through her response to this questioner. I hope next time someone asks me a question, I will respond from my heart first, allowing my mind to support that response but not to overpower it.

MARY MAGDALENE: Take Good Care Of Yourself
Part One of a Message
Given to Mercedes Kirkel
On November 7, 2013
Blessings beloveds. This is Mary Magdalene coming to you. I thank you so much, once again, for opening to me and for allowing me to communicate with you in this way.
Many of you have noticed that this has been a very intense time. I want to affirm this. It can be helpful to have affirmations from those of us who perhaps are seeing things from a larger perspective. We can validate for you that this is actually a difficult time and that it’s perhaps bigger than just what you, yourself, are going through. You are dealing with very intense energies right now. It is valuable to hold the bigger picture and to do your best to keep your center and support yourself in the midst of these kinds of energies.
Many of you thought that at the end of last year—in particular, on December 21, 2012—that your spiritual journey was somehow coming to a peak, you might say, and that you were going to transition after that. But the reality is actually more that you are continuing in the transformational time that you are all in. There’s an intensification process that is going on and many of you can feel this. The intensification is happening in many ways. There are things on your earth that are intensifying. There are energies during this time period that are creating increased intensity. Those who are aware of the formation of the stars and the planets understand this—that there are formations in place that are adding to the energetic configuration. For many of you, this may almost feel like you are in an energetic vise.
My recommendation to you is the same as it has been in the past: Do the things that you know to do to take care of yourself, to nurture yourself, and to keep yourself centered. These are very practical things. Make sure that you’re regular with your spiritual practices; that you’re balancing your physical body through good diet and exercise and getting enough sleep; that you are supporting yourself with people who are bringing balanced, good energy to you and who help you come back to your center; that you are keeping your mental field very clear.
As much as you’re able, open your mind to things that are spiritually balanced and supportive. For example, if there are forms of media that are giving you messages or information that does not feel like it’s for your highest good, not supporting your mental clarity and your spiritual and emotional balance, try to reduce your exposure to those things, as much as you can. And take good care of yourself. This is very important. Nurture your heart. Nurture your spiritual connection. Nurture your whole self in whatever way you need to. This is going to become more and more important. Although I have said these things before, I think they are worth repeating. They are valuable reminders.
This is the main thing that I want to address at this time.

MARY MAGDALENE: How Enlightenment Relates To Ascension
Part 5 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On October 3, 2013
Question: “What does a being who reaches enlightenment do after they pass away from this earth? What is their experience then?
Mary Magdalene: I thank you for this question. I think many people have wondered what enlightenment is and what happens to people once they reach the state of enlightenment.
From my point of view, enlightenment is perhaps slightly misleading as a term. I think it may give people the idea that enlightenment is one thing, one state, or one transition that happens for people. It suggests that you have either gone through that transition or you have not.
I see it somewhat differently. I believe what most people in the third dimension are referencing when they talk about enlightenment is the process beings go through in stabilizing at a higher consciousness and realizing, to varying extents, higher dimensions. I don’t see this as just one thing. I see this as a progression, or you might say a continuum, where people are growing and continuously moving forward in their expansion into higher states of consciousness. With that, they are growing and moving in their ability to experience higher dimensions. Over time, they don’t just experience those higher dimensions, but eventually stabilize at a particular dimension. Then that higher dimension becomes the primary dimension they are living from. It’s what you might call their new base or reality.
What this suggests, from my point of view, is a process, rather than one specific event or moment. In referring to enlightenment, people may be referring to different steps along the way of this process. They might be referring to people who are at varying states of higher consciousness and realizing higher dimensions of being.
I sometimes refer to these higher states as the fourth dimension, fifth dimension, sixth dimension… There are different qualities to each of these dimensions. What people identify as someone being enlightened references the experiences people have at those different dimensions. This was described in much greater detail in the book, Mary Magdalene Beckons. I don’t want to repeat that now. But that is another place where you can find more information about what people experience in different dimensions.
Relative to what happens after death, it depends on what the person’s consciousness is. In general, from the third dimension people go into an after-death state that is in the fourth dimension. But if people are at a higher level of consciousness, it is possible that they would go into a state that is beyond the fourth dimension after death.
It is good to be aware that you can’t always judge (Mary laughs) your own consciousness, let alone someone else’s consciousness. It may be that people are actually operating at higher levels than you may guess by the life experiences they’re having, or even by the choices they’re making, the actions that they’re taking, or the kind of thoughts they’re thinking. It is not as simplistic as sometimes people in the third dimension tend to imagine. There can be reasons why someone would come to the third dimension to have specific experiences, which you might think of as lower experiences. And yet, they may be a very evolved being. They may be very far along their path and simply need these experiences for something very specific for their growth.
Sometimes people come into this world to support processes that are larger than themselves. To do that, they may have taken on certain agreements to do certain things or to make certain things possible. Some of those things may appear negative, from your point of view. But from a larger understanding, it may support a movement forward for specific individuals, or even perhaps for very large groups of individuals.
I urge you to be cautious, to be really aware, and to bring your highest perspective and wisdom to thinking that “This person is enlightened,” or “This person isn’t,” or “This person is on their path,” or “This person isn’t”… Or your thoughts may be very personal: “I’m on my path” or “I’m not” or “I’m doing well,” or “I’m not doing well,” or whatever. Having those kinds of thoughts can be an impediment to you being on your path.
Ultimately everyone’s path is about uniting with God, bringing light and love, and fulfilling your soul purpose. At some level, you all know what your soul purpose is. Generally that knowing is not at the same level as your thinking mind. Sometimes your thinking mind can be an impediment to your fullest connection with your soul purpose.
I hope that that has answered your question. I think it is a very valuable question, for you and hopefully for many people. So thank you very much.
I sense that we are coming to a closure for our time together for now. I thank you all. I thank you for doing the work that you’re doing, for being the beacons of light that you are, for bringing the love that you bring into the world. It is all so important. I bless you. I bring my light and love to you. And I am honored to participate with you in this way.
With that, I close for now. I AM Mary Magdalene.

MARY MAGDALENE: Your Soul Group And Soul Family
Part 4 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On October 3, 2013
Question: I understand that we have a soul group/family. Are they the same? What is our soul family? Where would that family live or be? How many souls make up a family?
Mary Magdalene: Thank you for your question. I believe this is a somewhat confusing area for many people. Some of the confusion comes from different people using different terms, or labels, or names for the same things. That has added to the confusion because there isn’t always consistency of what these things are called.
What I consider a soul group is a very, very large entity of beings who have very much the same frequency and very much of a similarity in terms of their soul purpose and the soul path they are on. Yet members of that group may be doing their individual work in very individual ways.
You tend to stay connected to your soul group regardless of where you incarnate. When you’re in the third dimension, you will generally have people in your life who are part of your soul group. You may have incarnated together with those particular individuals or other individuals from your soul group through many lifetimes. In between your incarnations on the earth—when you go to the fourth dimension (or you may go to other dimensions, as well)—you will continue on with your soul group. This may be with some of the same people you were with in the third dimension, or it may be with others.
There is a kind of familiarity you experience with members of your soul group, but it is at the deeper soul level. You may not recognize it with your more everyday, thinking mind—what you might call your rational mind. But at your core, at your soul essence, you recognize your connections with these people. When you meet someone for the first time and you have the feeling you’ve always known them, or it’s so easy to be with them, or you seem to flow with them, or they bring out the best in you naturally—these all tend to be signs that you’re meeting someone who is a part of your soul group.
The people in your life who are the most challenging for you are also oftentimes members of your soul group. These can be people who you made a pre-life agreement with, agreeing to have certain experiences with these members of your soul group. Those experience may be supported by them taking a position that may seem very difficult for you or may seem very conflictual. That may actually be a person who is very close to you and is supporting you very directly in working on something for your specific soul growth.
So people who are members of your soul group can show up in different forms and with different qualities. It’s not always a feeling of bliss and easiness. Nevertheless, the people who are most important in your life, the key figures, are very often members of your soul group.
There may be other people in your life who you feel like you have a very hard time relating to. You just can’t understand them or they don’t make any sense to you. Sometimes this can be a sign that they are not part of your soul group. You are struggling because there are some basic differences between you and this person, or maybe even between you and a group of people. So that may be helpful to understand, as well.
Within your soul group, there are sub-groups. There is a smaller group that you might call your soul family. These, in particular, are people who tend to play key roles in your life. They’re also people who you tend to incarnate with in various dimensions again and again. You tend to stay close to them, just as in this lifetime you have your blood family or birth family, who you tend to stay close and connected to in a unique way. As I said, those relationships are not always easy. Some of those relationships might be some of the most difficult relationships you deal with. Yet they may be serving you in particular areas of growth and experience that you came to have in this lifetime.
As you go into the higher dimensions, you will find your experience of separation becomes less. It becomes lighter. Your feeling of connection, union, and unity with others becomes greater and greater. As this happens at the higher dimensions, you will, in general, be having more of a feeling of continuity and ongoing-ness with both your soul family and your soul group. When you get to the significantly higher dimensions—which may be the eighth, or ninth, or tenth, or above—you won’t tend to relate to yourself as an individual the way that you do now. You will tend to relate to yourself much more as an aspect of your soul group or the soul family. This is why we, at the higher levels, often speak as “we,” rather than “I.” It is because our consciousness of being continuously connected and not separate from our soul group is so much greater.
I hope this has been clarifying for you. What I suggest, if you want more personal clarity relative to this, is that you connect with your higher self and ask your higher self for more guidance about your soul group and soul family. Ask: “Who are the beings who are in my soul family and soul group?” “Which of these beings am I aware of right now?” “Which of these beings am I incarnating with right now?” or “Which of these beings do I have a connection with?” You may find you have connections with beings in other dimensions in your soul group or soul family. Asking your higher self these questions may help you to personalize all this, so that you understand your soul group and soul family even more from your own position.
I thank you for your question. Blessings to you.

MARY MAGDALENE: What Will Support You Most In Living In Your Heart
Part 3 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On October 3, 2013
Question: Which chakras or areas do people need to work on right now for their full illumination? What do you recommend to remove these blockages?
Mary Magdalene: Thank you for asking this question. I want to begin by saying that, obviously, it is unique for each person what their individual challenges or blockages are, what they need to work on, and what would be the best avenue for them for doing that work.
Nevertheless, there are patterns right now in your world and your culture, as far as what blockages people are experiencing, in general, relative to their chakras or to different areas of their lives, and what they can do about these blockages. I focused on this a lot in the first series of messages I gave to Mercedes, which are contained in the book, Mary Magdalene Beckons. I urge people to make use of that book for a very full and deep discussion of just this thing—the blockages that are presenting themselves and the specific actions people can take to move beyond these. But I will briefly reference what those are in a summary way right now.
The number one blockage that most people are experiencing, and which I believe is holding most people back in their spiritual growth more than anything else, is their blockage relative to emotions. Specifically this occurs when people are dealing with painful emotions. This is related to the second chakra, which is the chakra where most people have the most challenge. This is also the chakra of sexuality and relationships, and these are areas that many people are challenged in, as well.
The wonderful thing is that your challenge is also your opportunity. Your emotions, sexuality, and relationships are your greatest opportunities for spiritual growth at this time. This is related to what’s specifically being called for at this time for most people, which is to strengthen your inner Divine Feminine. Most people are underdeveloped in their inner Divine Feminine. It is an area that has been held back and actually withheld—culturally, educationally, and in many, many ways—for a very long time in your world. Most of you have developed your Masculine side rather exclusively, so now you are overdeveloped in your Masculine side and underdeveloped in your Feminine side. This is true for women and men. Everyone, regardless of your gender, needs to be strong in both.
At this time there is a great opening for the Divine Feminine. There is also great need for the Divine Feminine. It is required that the Divine Feminine become strong so that she can come into balance with the Divine Masculine. This needs to happen within all of you. Really it’s even greater than coming into balance. It’s coming into sacred union, the Divine Feminine and Masculine coming together in wholeness and oneness. It is a great, great beauty when you experience that.
I was most blessed to have that experience with my beloved Yeshua. It is not different from the experience that all of you will have, even within yourself, when you experience this union. It is a most wonderful thing. It is what you are all being called to, and in fact, what is required for you to make the transition into the new age before you.
Many of you are doing wonderful work in this area. But there is a great deal to be done. When this strengthening of the Divine Feminine is strong and full, it will allow you to live in your heart, as an ongoing, continual experience. I know that so many of you long for this, and it is underway. The thing that will support you the most in this is developing strength in your relationship to your emotions, and especially your painful emotions. That is the number one area that will help you more than anything else.
As I said earlier, I have explained how to do this in detail in my instructions in Mary Magdalene Beckons. It’s really quite a simple path. But for many, it will not be easy, because you are so trained in other ways that have excluded this. The basics are given in that book and I encourage all of you to make use of it. Transforming the way you respond to and make use of painful emotions will help you and your world more than anything else.

MARY MAGDALENE: Dealing With Feeling Special
Part 2 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On October 3, 2013
Question: I have a question concerning “specialness.” I am a light worker and am here to serve. I know that none of us are special—we are all the same, one love—but I court that feeling sometimes. Based on how it feels when it comes up, it doesn’t feel like it serves me. How do I deal with this?
Mary Magdalene: The question that you ask is a very good one and I feel your integrity in this, your wanting to stay true to your spiritual purpose and to your spiritual path, to not get distracted from that. I honor you for this and I feel your heart so much in your question. I want to really acknowledge that.
I also want to say that I suspect there may be a slight confusion you’re holding relative to this, which I’m hoping I may be able to help you with.
When you say that we are all one, that is absolutely true. That is a true statement about all of us. But it is not the whole picture.
The whole picture, from my point of view, is that you are both one, or non-separate, and you are also individuated. This is especially the case at the third dimension, where you experience yourself as an individuated being, who is not the same as everyone else, who is unique, and individual or different. This is part of the reality, you might say, that you experience in the third dimension. As part of this, everyone at the third dimension has their unique strengths and challenges.
What you are calling special may simply be a strength you have. It might be different from others, because others may not have that particular strength. Or if they have it, they may have it in a different way. Or they may be using it in a different form or arena. Others also will not have the same challenges that you have. And they will have their own strengths, strengths that you don’t have. They will have ways they’re making use of those strengths, and arenas in which they’re bringing those strengths, that you’re not doing.
So there may be very much realness to your sense of specialness. Perhaps special is a triggering word for you. Perhaps it would be better to just call it uniqueness. Then imagine that it’s not only uniqueness, but uniqueness combined with a sense of being on your path, really living your life purpose, and in that, being aligned with your higher self. That is most wonderful. I wouldn’t want you to diminish that in any way. That is a divine gift you are receiving. I encourage you to fully allow yourself to receive that, if I’m understanding you correctly, because that is an aspect of union with God. That is what everyone is here for. So I encourage you to absolutely receive that in its fullness, as a wonderful blessing, a state of grace and blessedness.
I think perhaps what you might be concerned about is feeling that this might make you somehow superior or “better than.” That is a challenge, and can even be a trap, at the third dimension—to take your gifts and blessings to mean that therefore “I’m better than others,” or superior somehow, or even just the sense that it separates you from others. If you are truly experiencing your gifts as grace, as living your life purpose in union with God, this will open your heart. You will have the experience of greater union with others. That is one of the ways you can tell that this is actually you being on purpose.
I’m guessing that you are experiencing yourself being on purpose. I’m guessing that this is just a thought you’re having that is standing in your way. What I would suggest is to fully embrace your specialness or uniqueness. Thank God, thank the divine that you are having this wonderful experience of union with the oneness and wholeness of God. If it is taking you into any sense of feeling superior, or special in a separate way. or a way of comparing yourself to others and feeling somehow better, then that is something you can work with in various ways. One way is just to understand that this is a blessing you’re receiving and it’s not at all depriving any others in this moment. The more you receive God in God’s wholeness, the more you can share that with others.
It is absolutely true at the third dimension that you have strengths. It is a God-given blessing to use your strengths. Don’t be concerned about that somehow not being aligned to spiritual work. It is totally aligned. But let it take you all the way through to union with God. Know that this gift that you’re using in this moment is really enabling you to come into union with God and to bring God’s wholeness forward. That is the real blessing.
I hope this has been helpful to you. I thank you again for all the work you are doing and your wonderful intention and dedication to your spiritual path. Many blessings to you.

MARY MAGDALENE: Helping Our Children
Part 3 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On September 5, 2013
Question: What more can we do to help the Divine Feminine and also to help our children?
Mary Magdalene: Blessings to you. I feel you so strongly in my heart. I shine my light upon you. Thank you so much for your love, your caring, your dedication to your spiritual path.
Your inner work is always where it begins. Look first to yourself and what you can do to strengthen yourself within. Make use of the book [Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love] and the instruction I have already given through Mercedes. This is an excellent starting place for looking at how you can strengthen that Divine Feminine within yourself, so that you become a beacon of light for the Divine Feminine. This will affect your children more than anything else and absolutely will affect your world, as well.
There’s so much that I could say about this. I love your question about the children. I have such caring and passion for children. What the children need more than anything else is your example of loving your body, of loving their bodies, of showing them that they are a perfect manifestation of God. This is true even with any challenges that they have, any lessons that they have come to learn and to grow. This does not in any way diminish their absolute perfection as a divine being. Know this about yourself and know this about your children. Affirm this to them.
Show children their perfection in terms of their beautiful bodies. Show them how to care for their bodies as temples of God—how to eat healthy food, how to enjoy their bodies, how to take care of their bodies. Along with this, show them how to care for other aspects of the physical—how to care for their environment, how to care for their pets and their animals, how to care for the Earth. All of these things are so important.
As it is appropriate, as they grow, show children another path with their sexuality. Show them how sexuality is a divine energy from God, to be understood, to be honored, and to be engaged with responsibility as a gift from the divine. When they are ready, when they are older, give them access to higher wisdom about their sexuality, how it can be engaged in a sacred way. In general, this would be appropriate for the teenage years, to start to bring this wisdom to young people as they transition into becoming young adults and start to experience their sexuality awakening. Help them understand that this is a sacred energy and how it can be used for opening their heart, for having amazing interactions with another being that are based in love and honoring of the divine in both partners, and that can grow them spiritually.
For many of you, this will perhaps require you to become more educated relative to the sacred in sexuality. This is a most wonderful arena that I urge everyone to become educated in, if you are involved in sexuality in your own life. Truly, everyone is involved in sexuality, for everyone has sexual energy. Whether you are expressing your sexuality with a partner or not, this is something that you can learn to make use of for your wholeness, for your wellbeing, for the flowering of your union of your Feminine and Masculine within, and for your greater opening spiritually. This is instruction that I am in the process of bringing in with Mercedes for a second book, which will be especially focusing on this arena of Sacred Sexuality.
The other arena that is so important for all of you to learn for yourselves, as well as for helping children, is relative to emotions. If you are involved with children, educating yourself relative to emotions is a tremendous gift you give to children. In particular, help children to understand the beautiful gift and opportunity available to them when they experience pain. This is actually much easier with children than adults, the younger they are. This is because they are less inculcated in the path of suppressing their emotions or projecting their emotions outward onto other forms to avoid feeling them and dealing with them themselves.
As you engage this transformational work for yourself, it will naturally reach more and more people. It simply expands out in greater and greater circles into your world. Know that your world is always a reflection of your own reality. As you change yourself, your world will absolutely be changing.
The final thing that I would always recommend is prayer. Prayer is so powerful, for you and for others. Yet it is so easy to forget in the third dimension, where things seem so physically based. But prayer is your great help. Do not hesitate to bring in prayer for anything that you see that needs strengthening or help in any way.
I hope that this is helpful to you, and I thank you again for your question.

MARY MAGDALENE: Empowering The Feminine Within and Without
Part 2 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On September 5, 2013
Question: For women, particularly of the Middle Eastern descent, is the essence of the Divine Feminine being allowed and supported at the moment?
Mary Magdalene: Your question is a beautiful one. What I feel in this question is your compassion and your concern for the Feminine and women who are incarnate on the planet at this time, especially women in the Middle East.
It is absolutely true that women are not being supported in all the ways that would be optimal in allowing the Feminine to come forth. You might say the Middle East is one of the more extreme areas in your world right now where the Feminine is still quite suppressed and held back. But sadly, it is not only the Middle East. It is in all places. The suppression of the Feminine is perhaps more subtle in the United States or your western, more developed world, because in those areas the suppression tends to be internal rather than external. Even in the external, most women are still not related to in a way that places them as equal in value to men.
This is not the same as saying that women are the same as men. This is one of the errors that occurred earlier in your opening to the Feminine. What happened for many women when they initially tried to claim their power, which they had not done for a very long time, was that they assumed the Masculine form of power. There is nothing wrong with this. All beings need to have access to the Feminine and the Masculine forms of power and embodiment. But it was done in a way that still did not bring forth the Feminine power, the Feminine strengths, and the Feminine arenas of manifestation.
Bringing forth the Feminine is still called for and is still a challenge for most people, in all areas of your world. The work of bringing forth the inner Feminine, which I am focusing on, is something that virtually everyone needs access to. But it is nonetheless true that there are areas such as the Middle East, where women are still denied many of the privileges in their outer life and outer form that men have access to. This is affecting those women in bringing forth their full Feminine power and Feminine strength.
In your world, both the inner and outer are very important. It is important that women be valued as women, as human beings. They must be supported in coming forth with all their strengths, having access to all aspects of your world, as much as men. At the same time, the inner work is also essential. For example, you must bring forth the Feminine in your relationship with your own body, as well as to the physical altogether.
In your world right now there’s so much destruction being done relative to the Earth and your environment, so much callousness. The extent to which people are not feeling how valuable the earth is and how important it is to protect the Earth, to honor the Earth, to treasure the Earth, to be in relationship with the Earth—this is a reflection of the way that so many people are cut off from their own physical body. If you were truly in relationship with your physical body, you could not do this to the Earth. You would see that the Earth is alive. The Earth is a living being, just as you are a living being, and the physical Earth is Her physical body. You would see it as the same.
Yeshua gave the exquisite instruction to relate to all others as you relate to yourself. This instruction is so profound and so far-reaching. You must begin with your relationship with yourself and inevitably that will be reflected in your world. When all of you change your relationship to this one aspect of the Feminine within—how you relate to your own body and treasure your body as a temple of the divine, specifically the Feminine form of the divine—you will see a huge change in your world. This inner work is essential. But I do not in any way suggest doing this to the exclusion of the outer work. I hope that is clear.

Communicating With Mary Magdalene
By Mercedes Kirkel
Question: I’ve been working with Mary Magdalene for about four months now. I’d like to understand what I’m to do with the energy transmissions I’m getting from her. Is there any instruction you can give to people who are just getting started with receiving messages from her?
Mercedes: It depends on the form of the transmissions you’re receiving. For example, if you’re doing healing work and you’re feeling her presence really strongly, I would say she’s working with you and coming through in that healing. She’s showing you what she wants you to do and how she’s working with you.
If the transmissions are coming through in a more verbal form, where she’s giving you messages that you’re hearing or that you’re telepathically receiving—meaning it’s coming directly to your brain and it’s a message that you’re already knowing without necessarily hearing it in an auditory way—then I would encourage you to dialog with her and ask her how she wants you to use the messages. Certainly I would encourage you to record the messages in some way, whether you write them down, or speak them into a recorder, or whatever form you use. I think that would be really valuable.
If you’re connected to your higher self, that’s another resource for you. Ask your higher self, “What am I meant to do with these transmissions?”
Mary Magdalene is coming through to many, many people right now. If you are experiencing her, I encourage you to really open yourself to receive her. In my own case, when she started coming through, I had a lot of doubt come up. She worked with me relative to my doubt. I had doubt that this could be real or that Mary Magdalene would ever choose me to communicate with or to connect to. She worked with me to help me go beyond my doubt. Ultimately I saw that by doubting myself, I was doubting God. Resistance can manifest in so many different ways. For me, it manifested as self-doubt. But doubting that God could be speaking through me is ultimately doubting God—doubting one of the forms of God.
I had this wonderful experience with my father around what was occurring, also. He was doubting that Mary Magdalene was talking to me. Really he just didn’t understand what was happening and was trying to makes sense of it. He has a much more rational, or you might say conventional, point of view than a lot of us do and he was really struggling to come to terms with me channeling Mary. Finally he suggested we go talk to a family friend who’s a Catholic priest and ask him what he thought. So we did.
We engaged in a conversation with the priest, but my father still wasn’t feeling like he was getting the answer he was looking for. At one point, he finally asked very directly, “But Father, who is this who is talking to my daughter?” The priest looked him in the eye and said, “Hugh, God has always chosen certain individuals to speak through. Why shouldn’t he choose your daughter?” That was such a powerful moment, for me and my father. It showed me how doubting myself was doubting God. That was part of my journey.
Your journey may not be the same. You may not have that same challenge that I had. But whatever it is within you that might be questioning what’s happening or unsure, that’s probably part of your process. It’s part of what’s being worked on and transformed by opening to a new being who you have identified as Mary.
I hope that’s helpful to you. Blessings to you.
