Mary Magdalene: The Exquisite Gifts Men and Women Give to Each Other
Part 1 of a Message
Received By Mercedes Kirkel
On June 16, 2013
Blessings my dear ones—to all of you here today and all of you who will be hearing me in the future. Blessings to all of you. I am most happy to return, to communicate with you once again. I thank you for inviting me here and creating this beautiful space. To all of you beautiful beings who are holding this space and connecting with me, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you and I am honored to be with you.
And yes, there are things that I wish to communicate with you today. As Mercedes described earlier, I have already been communicating with her, speaking with her about the relationship between the Masculine and the Feminine, which is so important and so dear to my heart. It is this which I feel many are struggling with right now. They are struggling within themselves, in terms of their relationship with their own Masculine and Feminine and the play between the two. This, of course, is always the foundation, always the root and source of any other aspects of the relationship between the Masculine and Feminine that you are dealing with. So this is the first arena that is most important to work with. It is what allows you to enter into the other forms of the relationship between the Masculine and Feminine.
There is another form of this relationship of the Masculine and Feminine, which I have talked about a great deal and is recorded in the book that Mercedes has brought through [Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love]. This is the relationship of the Masculine and Feminine as aspects of God and how they relate to each other. You could call this the Masculine face of God or the Feminine face of God. You could also call it the Masculine form and the Feminine form of God. I have gone into great detail about this in the messages in the book, so I do not need to repeat that. But this is very important for people to understand and will help you in coming into balance with your own inner Masculine and inner Feminine, because they are inextricably linked to each other. Your inner Feminine is inextricably linked to the Divine Feminine and the Feminine form of God. Your inner Masculine is inextricably linked to the Divine Masculine and the Masculine form of God. So the Divine Feminine and Masculine is the next arena that is most important for people to understand.
The third most important arena in your world in the third dimension—and other dimensions as well—is to understand the relationship between men and women. This is a more outer relationship. It involves the Masculine and Feminine manifested in form as individual men and women having a particular gender. This is an area of great complication and confusion for many of you in your world. It is this that I want to speak about more today. But I began with talking about the inner Masculine and Feminine and the Divine Masculine and Feminine, because without understanding these, without being in right relationship to these, it will be very difficult for you to ever come into harmonious, easeful, and mutually supportive relationships in form between men and women, as they manifest in their unique genders.
Yet this is the place that many of you find yourselves in your life, struggling with your relationships with individuals who are of the other gender, and to a certain extent struggling with individuals who are of the same gender. Your relationships with the opposite gender and the same gender are different. At different times, in different ways, and with different people, you have struggles and challenges with each.
Some of this relates to your early childhood and what you learned in your early childhood. If you were blessed to have a mother and father who had a very healthy form of relating between men and women, then by and large you will have a much easier time in your relationships between men and women, because you learned by example and modeling at a very young and formative age how to navigate these kinds of relationships. A similar thing applies to your relationship with your siblings. It is not usually as impactful as your relationship with your parents, but for most people it will certainly have some effect. All these early relationships oftentimes influence your understanding, your ease, and your development relative to being able to relate between the Masculine and Feminine in form, in terms of men and women.
I wish to speak about my relationship with Yeshua, for I was blessed in so many ways to be in relationship with him. There is so much about our relationship that is a model for the kind of relationship that you have the potential of having and that will be deeply fulfilling for you, to the degree that you are able to experience this kind of relationship. Yeshua was the archetype, if you will, the epitome of the Divine Masculine in form in so many ways. He was deeply connected to the Masculine form of God, which is all about consciousness. His consciousness was exquisitely pure and that is the nature of consciousness. The ultimate purity is the consciousness of God.
Consciousness is that aspect which transcends this world. Because so many of you have a profound relationship to Yeshua and what he brought in, many of you understand in a very deep, whole-being way what it is to be connected to consciousness through his living, his manifestation of consciousness in human form. He brought consciousness into form so that people could have a direct experience of it. Because it was so pure, it is a very clear experience of the Masculine form of God.
There are many different ways to manifest consciousness. The highest form is to be connected to the Divine Father, the Masculine form of God, [brief pause] Divine Masculine. [brief pause] Please excuse me. I tend to lose myself as I talk about these things. I tend to find myself so drawn into this form, it is hard for me to stay focused on the communication I am making. But I will continue.
It is this aspect that men bring forth most strongly, or any person, man or woman, who is choosing a Masculine role. It is the aspect of consciousness which informs your thinking, it informs all of your mind, it informs your decision-making processes, it informs your choices as to how you will engage in the world, what actions you will choose to take. This is the form in a man-woman relationship that a man is most strong in, optimally, if he is taking the Masculine role.
It is why men tend to, you might say, come from their mind or live in their mind more, because they are more directly connected to consciousness through their minds. Many of you today are feeling imbalanced in being in your minds. And it is true that there is balance to be attained. But do not underestimate that the mind is a tremendous gift, a beautiful blessing that ultimately comes directly from God in the Masculine form.
The power of consciousness in the form of the mind is part of what makes you in the likeness of God. You are given consciousness through the Divine Masculine. The mind is part of what allows you to be a creative being, just as God is a creative being. It is an immense gift. It is also a responsibility, for there are many different ways the mind can be used. But if you align yourself to God, it will always be used in the highest form. That is what is intended and has always been intended.
I am going to shift now to the more Feminine side of God. The Feminine side of God is the beautiful form of Divine Feminine energy. In the Indian tradition there is a name for this. They call it “Shakti.” It is understood that Shakti is the creative force that manifests in form. Just as women are always the ones that bring forth new life, new beings, new creation, Shakti is the power of creativity in form. Today it is sad that many women are not naturally in touch with this Divine Feminine energy. In some ways, in today’s world, men are more in touch with it—not within themselves, but they are very clear that this is an exquisite gift that they receive from women. Sadly women have lost touch with this to a certain degree because there has been such a focus on developing the Masculine. They have lost touch with their own beauty, their power, their Divine gift of this Feminine energy. It is this Feminine energy that feeds the Masculine. It feeds the Masculine in terms of giving life-force, energy. It is nurturing and sustaining. It is the same nurturance and sustenance that allows a mother to sustain a baby, though of course, not in the same way. And not to say that men are babies by any means, once they outgrow that stage of life. But the Feminine has the power to sustain life. She does it in a different way in relationship with a man, a very blessed, exquisite way.
This is the fundamental play between the Masculine and the Feminine. The Masculine brings the force of consciousness—of clarity, insight, understanding, and determining direction. The Feminine brings the force of support, nurturance, energy, which feeds and gives life to this form of consciousness. The two together are able to manifest in life. It takes both to manifest. And the two feed each other. The Masculine (in the form of a man) cares for the Feminine (in the form of a woman) through bringing his consciousness to the woman. And the Feminine (in the form of a woman) cares for the Masculine (in the form of a man) through bringing her life-force and supportive energy to the man.
Of course, each individual can bring this to themselves. This is why you are able to live as individuals. But in general, a man will be stronger in the Masculine. And in general, a woman will be stronger in the Feminine. This is because it is natural for men and women to bring these gifts to each other and to create together through their unique gifts. The beauty of this is that when what they bring is pure and true, what can be created is greater than the sum of what they could create on their own.
This is the beauty of relationship, as I knew it with Yeshua. He brought me the force, the purity, the exquisite Masculine nature of his consciousness filled with God. He brought that light to me. I brought him the full blessings of the Feminine—the life-force that sustains and supports and cherishes. We both cherished each other in our own ways. And out of that we created together. We created the seed form for his teaching, his work, his gifts, for our gifts that we brought together to take root and to hold and to manifest. You can understand the strength of what we brought forth by seeing what has manifested for 2000 years and continues to manifest—perhaps not perfectly, perhaps influenced by other forces, other inputs. But there is an unmistakable manifestation that is still in process in the world that is of Yeshua and of our union together.
As a woman, it is my great delight to do everything I can to support the light that Yeshua brought into the world. As a man, it was his great delight to receive all of my love, my energy, my support, and to bring his light to me, to care for me in the most ultimate way. This is one of the greatest things that you can manifest in life, this union between the Masculine and the Feminine, when it is aligned to the highest purpose of the soul and to receiving God’s work, God’s direction, God’s being-ness in the highest, fullest form.
Many, many of you are in touch with this. You have this sense of longing for your partner of this nature. Some may call it their soul mate or their twin flame. The name is not significant. It is the relationship that is significant. When you find it you will know it, because your hearts are so fully open to each other, and your desire is to give to the other in this exquisite way and to receive the gifts of the other in this equally exquisite way.
For many of you, there will be aspects of your relationship that are not entirely easeful, that are challenging. This is actually another gift of relationship, because it reflects back to you anything that is still needing completion, healing, growth, or purifying in your own personal manifestation process—either of manifesting the Masculine and Feminine, or of opening fully to the Masculine and Feminine. Relationship is a great gift if you understand it in this way, which helps you in your own work of completion. When that work is complete, you will no longer experience those challenges.
Ultimately, when that work is complete, you will no longer experience this realm. This is a realm of physicality, of duality, of limitations in many ways, so it is inherently challenging. But since you are manifesting here now, it is a sign that you are not complete, that you are still in the process of completing your work here. As such, relationships can be a great support to you in showing you the areas that are needed for completion, as well as reconnecting you with this beautiful union of the Masculine and Feminine.
All forms of union of the Masculine and Feminine are ultimately a mirror of the union of the Divine Masculine and Feminine as Mother-Father God, who are always in union with each other. This is what brings the joy, the love, the rapture, the light in the male-female relationship. You are simply experiencing the perfection of the union of the Divine Masculine and Feminine.

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.

Isis: The Temples of Isis and the Black Madonna
Part 2 of a Message
Received through Mercedes Kirkel on May 5, 2013
Question: Could you share your history with us—if you had an incarnation on this planet or if you have a soul fragment on this planet? I’ve heard about the temples of Isis. Were a lot of women related with your temple and can you share what they were doing with you at the temple of Isis?
Isis: Thank you so much. I am most happy to respond to this question.
I have not had an incarnation on the Earth plane. I operate through the higher levels into the Earth plane, from my incarnations in Venus and, through Venus, going back to Sirius.
There have been many temples of Isis and many beings associated with them—not only women, also men—although there were many more women who were involved. The majority of those men and women were connected with me through Venus and through Sirius, and know me very well as part of the greater soul group that we are all a part of. But they chose to come and incarnate on the Earth plane. So we maintain our very strong connection through the form of the temple.
Really that is what a temple is, more than anything. It is a soul group coming together. It is not the physical structure so much as the living energy of a soul group and their spiritual purpose on Earth, and even beyond Earth. Our soul group is very much focused on the qualities of the Divine Feminine in union with the Divine Masculine. In some ways, the purpose is more about manifesting the Divine Feminine, so that it can be in union with the Divine Masculine.
So that was always the purpose in the temples and it took many forms. It took the form of blessing the Earth, honoring the Earth. It took the form of blessing fertility and creation, in terms of plant life, animal life, food for all beings, human birth and fertility and supporting that process, and raising young beings into maturity. It took the form of healing work, of care and love for the physical and the other bodies as well—healing the emotional, the etheric, the mental, the spiritual. It took the form of Sacred Sexuality as a manifestation of a powerful avenue for connecting with God. And it took the form of ritual and ceremony—ways of connecting with God that are more expressive of the Divine Feminine. Whereas the Divine Masculine tends to be expressed through practices that are often exemplified by the monastic life—silence, meditation, disciplines—the Feminine is more characterized by compassion, love, joy, and energy expressions.
There were also the mystery schools that were connected with the temples. The mystery schools were especially devoted to the understanding, expression, and development of what you might call subtler energy features that human beings are able to access and work with. These are things like your chakra system and the energy that runs through your spine. There are also higher states of energy that can be accessed, which are associated with higher dimensions and abilities in the higher dimensions that you do not, in general, possess at the third dimension.
Some of these abilities have been called “magic,” and perhaps that is a way that you can understand what is being talked about. You may be more familiar with that term than the way it was described more commonly in the temples of Isis. It refers to the same thing. In the temples, we only used these powers and abilities for the highest good—for blessing, for connection with God, and doing God’s work.
Question: There’s so much going on in ourselves, our home, our community, our work, and also in our government, where there’s such a breakdown in polarity. I was wondering if you could say something about the breakdown in polarity and how we can assist. What would that look like?
Isis: You must understand that the old way is dying. Much of what you see is the death process, or the resistance to the death process. There is not that much that you can do, just as when you see an individual dying. They are on their path. You can bring your blessings. This is true of any circumstance—you can always bring your blessings. But in some ways, because of the ways that power has been manipulated in the past, the old forms have drawn their energy, their food source from your attention. If you continue to give them attention, you will continue to feed them. This will actually prolong this death process, as opposed to allowing it to take its more natural course.
I would encourage you to allow the old way to die. The best way to do that is to not feed it. Do not give it energy. Instead, focus on yourself, first and foremost. Focus on what you need and what is supporting you. Focus on the birth that is happening through you. There is an amazing birth happening right now. Do not miss it! (Isis laughs) Stay aware of that birth. That is what needs your life energy. It is happening in you. And it is going to be happening between you, in your connections with one another. It is not going to happen because some great leader is going to step forth and lead a charge into the new age. (Isis laughs again) It is happening just the way birth happens, one being at a time.
This birth is going to happen in the way a mother loves a child that comes in—through your heart and your body and your energy. That is why the Divine Feminine is so important right now. This is why your thoughts are going to have very little to do with it. For the most part, you don’t have to use your thoughts when you’re in the birth process. Occasionally there are times when that is most valuable, if there is help that is needed, or change, or whatever. But for the most part, your body knows what to do, your heart knows what to do, your energy knows what to do. That is what you can do. That is what will support this shift more than anything.
You have no idea how powerful you are. Sadly, access to your power has been held back for so long. There have been these institutions, these bodies that have supported the idea that you are not powerful, that there’s nothing you can do. That is almost the exact opposite of what’s the truth. You are so powerful and there is everything that you can do. In fact, it all rests with the individuals. This is part of the great shift in consciousness that you are going through right now. One by one you are awakening to this, like light bulbs suddenly turning on—realizing your power, realizing your strength, realizing that the power is not with these structures, these organizations, these institutions, these bodies. They are only as powerful as the power you give them. The way you take your power back is simply to withdraw your attention from those structures and bring your attention back to yourself.
And when they are affecting you, speak! Shout! Shout your “NO!”—that you will not allow that. Show them the strength of your body and your emotions and your voice. Be the strong Feminine that you are! You are powerful! (quietly) And you are going to discover it.
Question: I used to think I had to control thought, somewhat like someone who’s into gambling would control gambling. It hit me that I just have to let it go completely, not just be able to control my brain and not think when I meditate. But it’s hard for me to let that go and I’m not sure if I’m on the right path.
Isis: It is not necessary that you let go of thought. But it is necessary that you let go of control of thought. Controlling thought takes tremendous energy and will distract you from your higher work. For most of you, the way that you can let go of control of thought is through a choice to do so. But then you will often find that you are deluged with thoughts.
What you are called to do is to bring yourself to stillness. The way that you do this is through your heart, through connecting with your heart. This is what will calm the thoughts. It is also what will open you to your higher mind. Then that energy that was previously generating thought will, more and more, feed your higher mind. You will not be having this kind of lower mind activity. So it is well that you are letting go of control of thought. The idea of it being beneficial to control thought is a misunderstanding.
You cannot solve thought with thought. The heart is higher. But to be in your heart, you must do the foundation work. That work is what Mary Magdalene is bringing forth. It is through your emotion, your feeling, your energy, your body. If you have not done that work, you will not be able to stay in your heart. And then you will be dominated by thought. So the work is not with thought. It is with your heart and the foundation practices that allow you to be in your heart. If you are not clear about those practices, it would be well to study this. The book that Mary Magdalene has brought through, via Mercedes, is an excellent form of that study. This is a very serious process—serious, not in the terms of weighty or heavy, but real.
You actually need to learn this because most of you have been disenfranchised. You had these abilities when you came in as a baby. But one way or another, most of you were trained out of it. And it is greatly impairing you. It is very real that you need to connect with this. You are not going to be able to bypass it. These steps are real and necessary. If you want to grow, it is imperative that you take yourself to school. If need be, find help. Find a teacher. Find a guide. Whatever is necessary, this transformation must occur.
Question: I find that I’m being very drawn to the black Madonna. From what I understand, there’s a lot of written information that talks about your connection with the black Madonna. Could you explain about that?
Isis: The Black Madonna was part of the inner school, the mystery secrets within the temple. It was a representation of the higher powers that were developed through the temple practices and training. Those powers had the possibility to be used for what you might call “dark” or “light.” But it was the power of the Feminine. Just as the moon is the dark energy to the sun, the Black Madonna was the power of the Feminine. And it includes the power of energy. It’s an enormous power, a sacred practice.
The Black Madonna was held with great love, great honoring, great respect, great reverence for the power of the Feminine and the use of it. Those who were schooled and understood those powers and practices often find, as they come back into incarnation once again, that they’re drawn to this icon, this symbol of the Feminine, in the form of the Black Madonna. If you find that draw within yourself, it is a sign that you are one of those who were schooled in this way.
Now I sense it is time for us to close. I have tears of joy being with you. I love you so much. You are so precious. The work you are doing as beings of God, beings of love and light is so extremely valuable. Thank you to each and every one of you. You are dear to my heart.
Now I leave you with great love. Blessings to all of you.

Mary Magdalene: Merge With Your Feeling As Though It Was Your Lover
Part 3 Of A Message
Received Through Mercedes Kirkel on April 21, 2013
Question: For the past four years, I’ve been experiencing a loud noise in my ears, which is tinnitus. I’ve learned through spiritual work that it’s a refusal to believe what one hears, or fear of certain messages. I feel that there’s spiritual work that one can do to uncover the cause of the loud noise—the blocking or not believing. The question is, what is the process that a person can go through to believe what one hears?
I had an incidence over the past couple of days of the tinnitus disappearing for over twenty-four hours, because I received confirmation on a concrete level of what I heard on the spiritual. But now I’d like to be able to have a process where I don’t have to wait for confirmation on a concrete level, where I can find a way to believe what I hear. Am I making myself clear?
Mary Magdalene: When you say “believe what I hear,” what is it that you hear?
Questioner: Messages that everything will be alright. I have financial concerns and relationship concerns, too. I get messages from divine sources.
Mary Magdalene: About those circumstances?
Questioner: Yes, about the circumstances I’m concerned about. What I’ve learned is that these noises could be blocking what I hear, blocking messages, or unwillingness to believe what I hear. What I’m interested in is a process where I can believe what I hear.
Mary Magdalene: You want to believe the messages that you receive?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: So you receive messages and then you fall into doubt, and you don’t feel comfortable following the messages—you feel more drawn to what your mind is telling you?
Questioner: Could be that. Yeah. And there’s fear around it also.
Mary Magdalene: I would suggest that the fear is the primary element involved, fear of trusting the messages that you’re receiving. Does that seem right?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Are you in touch with that fear right now?
Questioner: (short silence) Yes. Right now I am.
Mary Magdalene: (softly) OK. Would you like to do this process around it?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: So let yourself go into the fear. Really open to it. Find out where it lives in you, how you experience it, if it has a message for you, whatever is associated with the fear. Let yourself really open to that fully. Are you able to do that?
Questioner: Oh, yes.
Mary Magdalene: And what do you experience?
Questioner: Panic. Sadness.
Mary Magdalene: Which seems stronger?
Questioner: Right now the sadness is the strongest.
Mary Magdalene: Then let yourself be with that. Go into the sadness. Allow it. It’s fine to cry if you need to. Let your body express however it wants to. And let yourself be with that sadness.
Questioner: I’m afraid you’ll have to speak louder because this tinnitus is blocking what I’m hearing.
Mary Magdalene: (speaking louder) So let yourself be with the sadness now, in whatever way. It’s fine to cry; it’s fine to break down. Don’t hold it back. Open to it. Merge with the sadness, as though it was your lover. Be with it. See what it has to show you. To share with you. Are there words, pictures, sensations? What gift does that sadness have for you?
Questioner: The message is, “You have nothing to fear.”
Mary Magdalene: But you do have fear. Yes?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Mmmm. (brief silence) Why are you sad?
Questioner: (softly) Why am I sad? The idea of not being able to get what I want.
Mary Magdalene: What is it that you want?
Questioner: Relationship. Financial security.
Mary Magdalene: So you’re sad because there’s a longing for relationship and a longing for financial security…
Questioner: Yes, yes!
Mary Magdalene: …and you’re sad because you don’t have that and don’t know if you will have that in the future.
Questioner: That’s exactly right.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. So there’s a sense of loss, a longing for something that you don’t have.
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Let yourself be with that. Let your body be with that, your emotions, your energy. Let yourself be with that. (silence) Feel how much you want that. Feel the strength of it. Are you able to do that?
Questioner: (softly) Oh yeah.
Mary Magdalene: (slowly) That is very good. That is your ally, your help. It is showing you this beautiful, divine part of yourself that is so important, that you feel disconnected from—this longing for love and closeness and security, financial security. Is that right?
Questioner: Oh yes.
Mary Magdalene: (softly) Yes. Those are beautiful things. Can you find the place in yourself where you connect with the beauty of those things—the beauty of love, of connection with another person, and closeness, and security?
Questioner: It comes from the heart.
Mary Magdalene: Can you feel that beauty, that wholeness within yourself? (silence) Can you reconnect with that—the way that you always know, within yourself, that wholeness of love, closeness, connection with another person, security? (silence) Are you able to find that?
Questioner: I’m going into my heart with that.
Mary Magdalene: And are you able to find those particular frequencies, those beautiful, divine qualities within yourself?
Questioner: I’m attempting to call them up now.
Mary Magdalene: Good. Love … closeness and connection … security. They’re really parts of God, flavors of the divine … and parts of you. Are you able to connect with those?
Questioner: Beginning to.
Mary Magdalene: Wonderful. Let yourself go into that, those beautiful qualities that you long for, that you know within yourself. When you’ve connected with them, let us know.
Questioner: (long silence) I’m connected.
Mary Magdalene: Thank you. From this place of connection, what do you experience now?
Questioner: A fullness of positivity.
Mary Magdalene: Beautiful. From this place of connection, sometimes there is nothing that needs to be done, other than just experiencing this and allow it to integrate deeper within yourself. At other times, there are actions that spontaneously come to you, without in any way taking away from this connection. So for you, in this moment, are there actions coming to you? Or does this feel like it’s a completion with this?
Questioner: The action that I see is “reach out and embrace.”
Mary Magdalene: Beautiful. This seems complete to me at this point. Does it to you?
Questioner: Not totally, but I see a direction.
Mary Magdalene: It is complete for now.
Questioner: Yes, I see that it’s a repeated spiritual practice that you have to do.
Mary Magdalene: Yes. But do not burden yourself with “I have to, I have to.” Let this melt into you, like a delicious dessert that you’re savoring. Trust that it will do its process. And your work, if you want to look at it as that, is to open and allow it, to be with it. And to notice, simply notice. How does that feel to you?
Questioner: Important. Life-saving.
Mary Magdalene: Blessings to you, dear one.
I’m deeply touched by the work you have done here today. I thank you so much. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have great confidence and trust in all of you. I see your light. I see your love. I see the victory of light in your case—each one individually, and as a whole.
I love you so much. Thank you for calling upon me. I look forward to future connections. In love, I leave you now.
I AM Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene: The Steps Of Moving Beyond Fear
Part 2 of a Message
Received Through Mercedes Kirkel on April 21, 2013
Question: How do we deal with fear, move through it, and not be paralyzed by it?
Mary Magdalene: Is there a particular circumstance that you are thinking of in relationship to this?
Questioner: Changing a career path—scary. Monetizing it. Wondering if it’s going to work.
Mary Magdalene: So I will walk you through the steps of allowing your pain—with fear being an aspect of pain—allowing pain to move you into union with God.
The first step, which it seems like you have already accomplished, is to become conscious of whatever emotion or feeling you are having. Many of you have learned to suppress your emotions so completely that you often don’t even realize that you are having them. So that is why this first step is important for so many of you. It seems you have already done this and have gotten clear that fear is the emotion you are dealing with. Is that accurate?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Alright, excellent. So the next step is to open yourself bodily, energetically, and emotionally to the emotion—in this case fear. Let yourself really be with the fear. Experience it fully. How do you experience it? Where do you experience it? Does it have a certain sensation or an image? Are there words associated with it? Really let yourself have the full experience, and rather than pushing it away, actually open yourself to it and embrace it.
Are you able to do that with this fear?
Questioner: Lately I’ve been getting dizzy, like whirling around my head. It’s like an imbalance.
Mary Magdalene: Are you able to do that in this very moment, to experience the fear right now?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: And how would you describe your experience of it?
Questioner: Tightening in the chest. Heart rate increasing. Feeling numb, like what to do, anxious.
Mary Magdalene: Excellent. And can you let yourself open to those feelings, rather than fight them off?
Questioner: That’s harder.
Mary Magdalene: Give it a try in this moment. Just fully allow those feelings to be, and fully allow yourself to have the experience. It is a kind of merging with those sensations.
This is a very Feminine process. The Masculine parts of ourselves want to fix it, go to battle, make it go away. There’s nothing wrong with that. It has a very important place. But in this process we want to set that aside for now and open to the Feminine process of opening, merging, allowing, being with.
Are you able to do that?
Questioner: Yes. There’s like a tug of war between surrendering to the feelings and wanting to manage them, so they don’t get out of control.
Mary Magdalene: So I am hearing that there are two levels of fear going on. There’s the fear of your circumstance of change relative to your job. But there’s also fear of the feelings themselves that are being stimulated by that change.
Questioner: Right.
Mary Magdalene: Let’s go to the second level of fear. I suspect that is deeper, the fear of the fear. The fear of experiencing fear.
Can you locate that with your sensations, how you’re experiencing that right now?
Questioner: Tightness in the back of my head, like a headache starting.
Mary Magdalene: Excellent. Can you let yourself be with that feeling of tightness in the back of your head?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: (softly) Good. Excellent.
And now from that place of being with the feeling, we’re going to go to the source—the source within you, which is what I call your inner divine qualities. It’s some aspect of your inner divinity, a beautiful quality of yourself that is not being fulfilled through this circumstance of fear arising and being afraid of the fear.
I am going to make some guesses. I’d like you to tell me if you feel like these are accurate. Or if other things come to you, please express those.
I’m guessing that the fear is emanating out of survival, a sense that if you open yourself to fear that you won’t be able to function, in a way that threatens your survival.
Questioner: That seems accurate.
Mary Magdalene: (softly) Yes. So the inner divine quality that you’re needing is protection, support for your survival. Is that right?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: (softly) Good. So now what I want you to do is focus on that. Focus on those qualities in their wholeness, the way they live in you—the two qualities of protection and support for your survival.
Questioner: It feels like I have to go to my heart for that.
Mary Magdalene: That’s fine. Go wherever you need to.
When you’re able to connect with those qualities—of protection and support for your survival—in their fullness and wholeness within you, let me know.
Questioner: Yeah, I feel it more now. A calmness.
Mary Magdalene: (slowly) Yes. That is the sign that happens when you reconnect with your wholeness.
Now what I’m going to ask you to do is this: From that place of connection with protection and support for your survival—in their wholeness within you—from that place, go back to the circumstance of feeling fear and see if there’s any change relative to the possibility of experiencing fear.
Questioner: Well, it seems like I could shortcut it a little, go into the heart. But I start to feel the fear.
Mary Magdalene: Yes, that is a possibility. But I’m not asking you to do this in the future. Right in this moment, is there any change that you feel relative to the circumstance of feeling fear?
Questioner: Well, I don’t feel so alone in trying to decide things.
Mary Magdalene: Mm-hm. Do you feel more open to the possibility of feeling your fear?
Questioner: I guess I have a feeling that fear is a part of the human condition, that it comes and goes, that I can’t get rid of it forever. In this moment, at this time it feels lesser, less in control, less potent.
Mary Magdalene: Mm-hm. I’m not asking you to try to make it go away. I’m simply asking you…
This is a little, maybe, more challenging because we’re working with two different levels. I’m focusing just on the second level, where you said it was hard for you to allow yourself to feel the fear. So we went into just working with that aspect, just the possibility of letting yourself feel fear.
So I’m wondering if that shifted in any way for you?
Questioner: Yes, in that I don’t feel like I’m going to go down a black hole and never come out.
Mary Magdalene: (softly and emphatically) Yes! Yes, that’s wonderful.
So my sense is that that may be enough for right now. But let’s try and see if we can take it a step further. With that sense, are you able to go back to the first level that we were dealing with, of your fear relative to changing your work? Is it possible for you to just let yourself feel that sensation of fear now around changing your work?
Questioner: Uhmm, yes. In fact, I think I can use it in my work, because I’m going to train and teach around self-reliance and change, especially for women.
Mary Magdalene: Mm-hm.
Questioner: So, I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels fear.
Mary Magdalene: (gently laughing) No, it is a very human condition. I would expect that there are endless people that you can encounter to work with in this way.
So let’s go back to your fear around your work situation. Would you like to do that?
Questioner: Yes.
Mary Magdalene: Alright. Let yourself feel how you experience that, your fear in this moment relative to changing your work.
Questioner: Do you mean the shift that I’m feeling?
Mary Magdalene: Feel whatever it is right now. Are you still experiencing fear relative to the possibility of changing your work, and your sustenance, and that kind of thing?
Questioner: You know, I do feel lighter. Most of the time, I can say, “It’s going to work out. I’m going to be OK.” I think that’s how I feel right now.
Mary Magdalene: Is it coming from a feeling place or from a mental place?
Questioner: Right now it’s feeling.
Mary Magdalene: (slowly) Wonderful.
Questioner: A calmness.
Mary Magdalene: Wonderful.
The last part of this process is—from this place of calmness, this feeling—in this moment, are there any actions coming to you that you wish to engage based on this new opening?
Questioner: I want to do some journaling and writing, because it’s part of my work. So I think when I get home this evening that I’ll do that.
Mary Magdalene: (softly) Wonderful.
So, was this helpful to you?
Questioner: (quietly) Yes, actually. Thank you.
Mary Magdalene: (slowly) You’re welcome.
I am very happy to go through this kind of process with people. It is the best way I know of for people to come to understand what these steps actually are and how to engage them. It is helpful that I’ve described it in words and that your mind can help you to understand this process. But truly, it is a process in feeling. So to go through the feeling avenue is, for many, the strongest way of learning how to integrate this, so it’s really available 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.

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.
