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

Sol: Solar Flares And The Sun Behind The Sun
Part One of A Channeled Message
Received Through Mercedes Kirkel on March 17, 2013
Blessings dear ones. This is Sol, spirit of the Sun, coming to you today. I am especially moved to come forth because of the time period that you are in right now, being right before the spring equinox, when my power of blessing through the Sun is becoming stronger and stronger, and you are becoming more aware of it. You are about to pass through the midway point, where my blessing energy will be available to you more than half of your time, because there will be daylight more than half of the time. So I come in joy. I come in strength. And I come in blessing.
I come with a message for you today about clarity and purity. In the time ahead, I am suggesting that you stay true to your clarity and your purity. I see this as something that the Sun may be of help to you in. You may turn to the light and the blessing of the Sun for helping you to be strong in this aspect of staying in clarity and purity.
It is possible in times ahead that you are going to be tested, that there will be confusion, fear, and for some a sense of darkness. I want to let you know that, while this may be very real for some, it is not necessary for you to assume this or go into it. It is possible for you to stay in your clarity and your purity of the light. This is what I want to consider with you and support you in at this time.
Because of your connection to all beings, you are affected by what other beings experience, especially when many beings experience something similar at the same time. In your reality, as you know it, it is possible for a kind of wave to go over people, where many people are experiencing something similar. Oftentimes, especially in the past, this has been a lower-frequency energy. For example, there can be a fear that spreads over many people, a kind of collective fear or mass fear. One person’s fear ignites the next and suddenly it takes off like a wildfire. I am sure all of you are familiar with examples of this, if not from your own life, then having heard about this happening in other people’s lives. It is one of the great challenges of the third dimension, particularly with the emotion of fear. It is easy at the third dimension to fall into fear and to have it overwhelm you.
All of you are becoming stronger in the light. All of you are coming to know that you have choice, that you can consciously choose the light. The more that you choose the light, the more you are attracted to choosing the light and the more it becomes easy to choose the light, the more you are supported in choosing the light. This is very core to your spiritual growth, both personally and collectively at this time—that you are more and more choosing the light more frequently, more continuously, and you are more and more able to stay in the light. As you do this for yourself, the light is strengthened more and more. This becomes a new kind of wave that you are creating on your Earth—a wave of light as opposed to a wave of fear or darkness.
It is not something that you need to create in others, ignite in others, or try to convince others in one form or another to join you in, just as you do not need to do this with darkness. Your light becomes the attractive beacon that draws others. Indeed, for most of you, when you become involved in trying to get others to do this, you often lose your own strength of light. That is because trying to get others to join you is rather an old way of doing it. The new way is simply to be the light, to shine the light, to enjoy the light, delight in the light. Others will, of course, see it, for light is completely visible.
Light, as you know, is stronger than darkness. Darkness is truly only the absence of light. So whenever there is light and darkness together, light prevails—unless individuals choose to shield themselves from the light. They have this choice and this shielding has happened for a long time in your world. The time of this occurring is not over. There are still beings making this choice. But the scales are tipping. The light is becoming stronger, is being held by more people, including all of you.
This is a great joy to me. I revel in the light. My work and service and enjoyment has been to bring the light to you in this form, most directly in the form of your Sun, which the Earth circles around. It is so natural to make the light the center of your experience and to stay attuned to the light, the way the Earth stays attuned to the Sun, with the Sun in the center and the Earth circling around. It is a form of instruction that you know at the core of your being, through your connection to Earth and Sun. This is a time when you can bring this forth.
I am especially encouraging you in this because, in the future, it may be that there will be waves of the old still occurring in your world—waves of fear, waves of darkness. I come to emphasize and affirm that it is not necessary for you to go into this. You can hold to the light. All the things that you do and know already are things that support you in this. The more that you do these things—such as meditation, associating with others and focusing on the light, giving your light to others, all the ways you know that magnify light in your life—continuing to do these, and even strengthening in doing these will continue to be valuable. The more that you do these, and the more that everyone does these things, the more that you quicken the process of strengthening light.
Light is the great transforming power, along with love. Of course, they go together.
This is the message I share with you. Do not fall into fear when you see others falling into fear. Or if you do, be kind and gentle with yourself, but remember the light. Bring yourself back to the light. Know that you always have that option. It is always available to you and it is the highest path.
I encourage you to celebrate. Celebrate the light at this turning of your year, this marker point of spring equinox. Let it be a doorway for you into increasing the light continuously in your own life and your world. Let it be a blessing, a celebration. Give your thanks and give your intentions for being a light-carrier, a light-blesser, one who brings the blessing of the light to yourself, to others, and to the world. This, more than anything else, will change your world, and of course change yourself.
So I come today with this message and this blessing to all of you. I ask you to take a moment now to focus on light at your heart—feel the light, experience it, go into the light. Let your whole being be bathed in light. Especially allow your mind to be bathed in light.
You might get a picture of yourself in this light, becoming a light being. For indeed, that is what you are all becoming. Imagine yourself going through your day, doing the things that you do in your day in this state. How might your day, your experience, your world be different? How might your speech be different? How might your conversations with others be different? How might your experience of the world be different? How might your world change?
Invite in the light. It is your birthright and destiny. And so I celebrate this with you, endlessly shining my light of blessing upon you.
Now I ask for your questions. What questions would you like to ask of me today?
Question: Can you give us insight into what solar flares and coronal mass ejections are about?
Sol: It is actually a form of blessing, which is always going on. But at certain times it happens in terms of a concentrated form that’s directed toward you. Light is really a form of sustenance. At the third dimension on Earth, you experience it especially in the physical form through your Sun. But light is really a way of supporting your whole reality here.
The Sun is an integral part of the process of light that allows all to continue. The Sun is food. It is food for plants, and then the plants feed beings. The Sun is a source of transformation that allows for growth and change. When you have these very concentrated forms that come in certain bursts, it is an opportunity to support you to move into a higher frequency, really, to make a shift in your reality grid, you might say, that is supporting you and sustaining you, and to allow that grid to move into a higher state, a higher frequency. So these are free gifts, you might say, blessings to help you, if you are open to it, if you are ready, and if it would be supportive for you to move in this process, which many of you are calling the ascension process, where you are moving into a higher state of being, a higher level of frequency, a higher consciousness. These bursts of energy are like super foods, for those who are ready to receive them, to support you in this shift within yourself to a higher state.
For those who are not ready, these bursts simply pass by. They will have other opportunities at other times to receive this kind of support. But at this time there are many who are ready. So the Sun, as a living being, is responding to your readiness, responding to the Earth’s readiness altogether for moving into this higher frequency, this higher stage of beingness.
Question: Three years ago someone mentioned to me the Sun behind the Sun. I’m assuming now that the Sun behind the Sun is this spiritual light that’s different from the physical light that we see. Could you say anything about that?
Sol: Yes. At different levels of awakening, different levels of awareness, you become aware of what you might call different forms of light. At the third dimension on your Earth you are all familiar with the Sun, the physical manifestation of light. Just as you are a physical body, but you are more than your physical body—you are a spiritual being inhabiting your physical body, so it is with your Sun. The physical Sun that you are familiar with at your Earth level also has a spiritual body, you could say, a spiritual being. I am a part of that spiritual being. And there are other levels, as well.
As you know, there are many, many suns in your galaxy, in your universe, many stars that serve the same function of creating and emanating light. And that is simply at the physical level, also. There are subtler levels beyond that that are connected with spirit beings, as well. And then there is more beyond that to this immense system of planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies, universes. There is more beyond your own universe. There are other universes. And there is a sun at the center of all this, which has been called the great central Sun, which is a very, very high frequency and also associated with spirit energy, spirit beings at a very high level.
Really everything is a manifestation of light. And everything has a spirit and is part of the web of spirit, the great manifestation of spirit, and is connected to spirit at its source. So there could be many levels that you are connecting with that are beyond the Sun and yet related to the Sun. All are true.
What is valuable, is to find what serves you, what supports the light in you, what connects you with spirit, what helps you the most with your spiritual path and spiritual growth. That may change over time. There may be a particular form that you are connected with for a time. And then that grows and changes into another form. You are the one who will know and be guided to what is the most powerful and available form for you at any given time.
Of course, relative to the physical sun, you must relate to that at the physical level and take care of yourself physically. There is guidance about how to do that, so that you don’t hurt yourself physically by looking at the Sun, taking in the light of the Sun. You only want to do that in a safe way. But this can be one form of receiving the blessing and the energy of the Sun. Often it has been recommended to do this as the Sun is just rising, as a safe time when you may do that.
But you can do this at anytime through your meditation. You do not need to be physically gazing at the Sun to receive the blessings and energy of the Sun. You simply need to open yourself to the Sun’s spiritual light.
This is a vast topic and a vast source of exploration for you in your spiritual process and your spiritual growth. I encourage you to explore it, to make full use of it. In your case, in particular, it sounds like that may be an empowered form for you.

Embracing The Body And Feelings Versus Letting Go
By Mercedes Kirkel
I recently received this question from a woman in Australia: “How can I reconcile the feminine path of looking more to the body and the feelings with the ascension process of slowly losing the physical body and also “mastering” the emotions? These seem to contradict, yet I know they can’t really.”
I really appreciate the depth of consideration I feel in this question. I wanted to share my response in this blog because I think others may be wondering something similar.
Mary Magdalene talks a lot about the differences between the Feminine and Masculine paths in Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love. The first thing she emphasizes is that we all have the Feminine and Masculine within ourselves, regardless of whether we’re male or female. And all of us have received the same cultural training (for the most part) which, for a very long time, has greatly favored the Masculine, at the expense of the Feminine. As a result, most of us—including most women—are out of balance, being well-developed in our Masculine and underdeveloped in our Feminine.
So what exactly is the Feminine and Masculine? That’s a very large topic, which is addressed in depth in Mary Magdalene Beckons. Part of what Mary tells us is that within humans, the Feminine has three foundational arenas: our body, sexuality, and emotions. When our relationship tall three is strong, we’re able to live from our heart and embody the Divine Feminine aspect of human-beingness. The path to strengthening these three arenas (our body, sexuality, and emotions) is to fully embrace them as sacred functions and to heal any blocks we have to doing so (such as shame or dislike relative to our body). This form of embrace and love ultimately leads to union with God.
The Masculine path also leads to union with God, but through a different course. In the Masculine form, we overcome or transcend our blocks to God-union through discipline of body and mind, and we move into union through setting intentions and following through with action. This initially is directed through the will and lower mind. When both the Masculine and Feminine foundations are strong and the heart is open, the inner Divine Feminine leads us into union with the inner Divine Masculine, whose seat is in the higher mind.
Most of us are at a stage right now where we’ve strengthened our will and lower mind. Our educational system and culture in general is highly geared toward accomplishing this. What most of us are needing is to strengthen our Feminine foundations through embracing all the aspects of our body, sexuality, and emotions and relating to them as sacred. This is not generally taught and reinforced in our culture. Most of us have picked up our training in these areas in a somewhat “potluck” or happenstance way. So many of us have “holes” we’re still needing to strengthen in order to open fully to our inner Divine Feminine.
When we’ve completed our work of strengthening our inner Feminine and are seated in our heart, our inner Divine Feminine will naturally call to her partner, the inner Divine Masculine. It’s the nature of the Feminine is to be in union with the Masculine. This inner union is what Mary Magdalene refers to as the marriage of the sacred heart and sacred mind, and it’s currently our primary requirement for ascending into the fourth dimension. Mary states in no uncertain terms that our lack of balance and union between the Masculine and Feminine is the principle thing that’s holding most of us back in our spiritual evolution. And it really comes down to the embrace of our body, sexuality, and emotions—the parts of ourselves that have generally been most neglected, especially within spiritual traditions or paths.
So the embrace of our fully manifest aspects comes first. That embrace leads to mastery of the third dimensional levels of incarnation—mastery in relationship to the physical, sexual, emotional, the will, and the lower mind. That mastery is a big part of what we, as souls, came here (meaning to Earth and the third dimension) to experience and accomplish, both at the personal and the collective level.
Once we’ve fulfilled our soul’s purpose, relative to experiencing and mastering these levels, as well as completing any karma we have in these same arenas, we’re free to move on to the next dimension. It’s kind of like graduating from one grade to the next in the cosmic school of Earth.
At the fourth dimension, our situation and experience will be different. One of the main differences is that our physical circumstance will be much lighter and much less binding. So there’s a natural “letting go” that will happen relative to the physical, not because we’re trying to let go, but because our circumstance is different and it will be natural to us to relate to the physical in this lighter, freer way.
Simultaneous with that, our relationship to our emotions and lower mind will become much more important, because the fourth dimension is more concentrated in these arenas. So our mastery in these areas will become more essential. The degree to which we’ve achieved mastery prior to entering the fourth dimension will be a great support for us and will allow us to locate ourselves in the higher frequencies of the fourth dimension, which we generally will enjoy much more than the lower frequencies.
I think what’s most important about all of this is to understand what our “next steps” are that are before us now. I believe this whole process is a very natural, evolutionary process, similar to what a child goes through in any of its developmental leaps into a new stage. A child who is learning to walk doesn’t need to know that walking will lead to running, leaping, jumping, hopping, skipping, etc., not to mention dancing, playing football, or any of the myriad things walking allows to happen. A child has an advantage, in a sense, that their mind isn’t developed, so it doesn’t interfere with their one-pointed focus and perseverance in whatever they’re mastering.
We do have our minds, and they serve us very well in many ways. In our present circumstance, they can help us to understand what our current work is and help us to focus on that. It may be useful to understand the larger context in which all this is happening and where it’s all leading, as long as we don’t let that distract us from doing the real work of transformation that’s right in front of us.
Like a moth that’s becoming a butterfly, we’re all in a process of becoming, which may be confusing or unclear at times, especially if we’re accustomed to knowing what’s going to happen with our mind. I believe there’s something much bigger than our mind that’s directing this magnificent process, and we’re being given everything we need—even though it may not always appear that way. At some point, I think we’ll look back and see what a wonder this whole process has been, just as we might do now relative to our current lifetime and all we’ve gone through in our various steps of learning and development to become what we are now. Who would have known, from an earlier vantage point, where it was all leading. Yet from this perspective looking back, it may seem like a perfect, perhaps even miraculous, plan that had an amazing logic all along. We just couldn’t see it at the time.

Yeshua: Completing Your Work In The Third Dimension
Part 2 of a Message
Received Through Mercedes Kirkel on February 17, 2013
Question: For those who came here from the fourth dimension and chose to not be fully involved in the third dimension, is it time to intertwine with the third and fourth, or somehow lead and show the fourth dimension, like this is where we’re going, knowing that the third dimension is just about done?
Yeshua: Any being who is here in the third dimension has chosen to be here. Individual beings often do not remember that choice, because that is part of coming into the third dimension. You forget that process of choosing to be in the third dimension. At the higher dimensions you do not forget. You remember. Part of what makes the third dimension potentially confusing and difficult is that forgetting process.
One aspect of awakening to the fourth dimension is starting to remember why you chose to come here and to be sure that you have completed that work. There is the fundamental work of having the experiences you chose to have by being here. In that process, most of you have been here for many lifetimes. Over those lifetimes you have opened up to certain experiences that may not be complete. So you may also have completion work to do relative to your experiences during your lifetimes here in the third dimension.
These are two somewhat different things, although they are very related. One is at the soul-level, involving certain experiences and learning you have chosen at the soul-level to have. You then engaged experiences in the third dimension to have that learning and those experiences. That has opened you up to what sometimes is referred to as “karma.” This means that you may have practical completions relative to the experiences that you have had. So the transition to the fourth dimension can involve both practical completions relative to your third-dimensional experiences and soul-level completions, fulfilling the learning and experiences that your soul wanted to have in coming here.
You, as a soul, are not separated from the larger process. Part of what makes the third dimension different is that you have the idea that you are separated and your soul-path is different from other people’s soul-path, other beings’ soul-path. But that is not really the case. You might look at it as you being a scout for the greater being. Any learning, any experiences that you have, you take back to the whole, to the All That Is. So this is not just for yourself. You engage in this process for all beings.
There is also another aspect, where beings have chosen to come into this earth plane of the third dimension and this place as helpers, to support and assist in this process of ascension. That is also a form of life-purpose. Many beings may have both—they have come to gain learning and experience, and also to offer service and support.
Regardless, the process is the same at this point for all beings—to complete whatever you need to complete at the third dimension and to make the shift into the fourth dimension. This shift can be made even while you still exist in the third dimension. It just requires you to apply yourself to that, and that is what the spiritual process is about.
You will know if you have anything left to complete because it will manifest in your life. It generally manifests as challenges, difficulties, problems—in relationships with people, your circumstances such as work, supporting yourself, in relationship to your body, your physicality, your health, your home situation. Whatever it is, those things are manifesting and they inform you that those are areas in which you are not yet complete. So, for most of you, it should be clear from that what your work is.
Beyond that, your work is to be love and light, love and consciousness. Of course, that will feel the best to you and will be the greatest service that you offer. As you are practicing being love and consciousness, you will notice the places where you are not love and consciousness. And again, that will reflect to you where you have growth to do within yourself, because whatever you are manifesting is a reflection of you.
Question: I have a question in regard to relationships. How do you figure out or realize if a relationship is an unhealthy one that’s not serving you, and you need to let go of it and move on—or if it’s something that you need to work with because in working with it you will grow and learn your lessons, and it’s actually healthy and serving you?
Yeshua: The second is always true. Whatever is coming up in a relationship is always something you need to grow and work with, or it wouldn’t be coming up. It’s your choice how you choose to grow and work with that. You can do it in relationship. You can do it out of relationship. A lot of times, working with the issue in relationship helps you, because when you do the work out of relationship, you oftentimes assume that you’re doing very well and everything is fine. Then you get in relationship and you find out otherwise. Many people then make the mistake of blaming the other person, because you were fine when you were by yourself. (laughter) But the reality is that you were simply avoiding that arena. Being in relationship helps you to see your patterns. This is one of the benefits of relationship. It helps you to see yourself, as long as you don’t make the mistake of assuming it’s the other person.
That’s not to say that the other person isn’t doing very real things, doesn’t have their own work. It’s just that that really has nothing to do with your work. And if you focus on that, you will tend not to do your own work. You will also tend to have a lot of difficulty in your relationship, which will oftentimes manifest as conflict, arguing. You will be having arguments about whose work it is to do what, to make the change that you want to have. (laughter)
Ultimately it is always your own work. When you have done that work, you will be manifesting a different situation. Not to say that you will be manifesting a different relationship. You may be, or you may be manifesting the same relationship with a very different pattern happening in that relationship.
So whatever is coming up is always a sign of your own work to do. It is always a gift, ultimately, and an opportunity. But that is not to say that, therefore, you should always stay in the same circumstance that you are in. It is simply that you should always do your own work. When you do that work, you will generally be guided as to the outer steps that come out of that work. That will clarify for you whether to remain in that relationship, make changes in the relationship, or make changes that include not remaining in that relationship. You will be clarified. You will also take the actions from a place that’s increasingly gentle, compassionate, peaceful, because you will more and more be creating those qualities within yourself and emanating that out into your relationships.
If you are not having the clarity, it is a sign that you have not done the inner work. When you do the inner work, you will come to clarity.
There is one measure you can always use, which is that a relationship should be supporting you on your spiritual path. There is no other reason for having a relationship. The measure you can use is that your joy, your love, your consciousness is supported, is increased through the relationship. If that is not happening, that is a sign that the relationship is not supporting you in doing your inner work and your inner growth. So you can use that as a help. But it is not to say that the relationship is bad, or the partner is bad. It’s all about you, meaning each individual. It is simply about what supports you in doing your own work and staying responsible for that.
Some people choose to stay in situations, which other people look at and say, “That’s a bad situation.” What they usually mean is that it’s not supporting the person. But others can’t really know from the outside. They don’t know the full spectrum of your spiritual path, your spiritual choices. Only you know that. Similarly, each individual knows what is supporting their spiritual path.
There is a great deal of confusion that occurs in relationships when people are not strong spiritually and get in relationships. Sometimes it can work out, where there is harmony and where the individuals’ spirituality is ultimately supported. But oftentimes it is a problematic situation because people end up demanding from their partner what they should be getting from their own spirituality. And of course their partner, in that circumstance, will never be able to fulfill that. When you are connected spiritually, connected to God, you will generally see your partner as a manifestation of God and the Divine, just as you will see all of life as a manifestation of God and the Divine. But when you are disconnected, you will not tend to see that and oftentimes will fall into the trap of demanding that from your partner, wanting your partner to fill the hole that you feel within yourself. This is a great deal of the difficulty that occurs in human relationships.
Human relationships at the third dimension are not easy. In general, there are difficulties because the third-dimensional consciousness is so much about power-over, competition, not enough for everyone. In your relationships, you are doing deep spiritual work to overcome this with another being. It can be a very empowered path for doing so, if you see it as such. Again, that does not mean that all relationships are your spiritual path or that you should always embrace any particular relationship as a spiritual path. It is not saying any kind of fixed rule like that. It is simply saying that relationships altogether are a powerful form that support you in your spiritual growth, if you understand them as such.
Question: I’m thinking about how Christianity perhaps has a misperception or a different perspective than you would want the world at large to know about you and your message—how they worship you and put you on a really high pedestal that they can’t reach. Are there any messages for us to hear and convey to other people who may be trapped in this misperception of you, to help open their eyes to a new way of seeing and having a different relationship with you.
Yeshua: In general that path will not be productive—the path of trying to show people another way who are drawn to certain religious structures and belief systems about me.
Those people have their learning and it is different from yours. Those people have manifested a tremendous system of authoritarianism and doctrine, not necessarily based in reality or even truth. And they have their own learning that they are getting from that. You must not look at them as victims, any more than you must look at yourself as a victim. They do not need to be saved any more than you need to be saved. What will help them is the same thing that helps you, which is truth.
But the thing that helps most people, especially at this time, is truth that is felt, truth that is lived. As you live your truth, you can share that as your experience, your truth to people who are open, who are interested, who invite that. But the path of trying to convert people is usually based in some lack of understanding of those peoples’ own process. When they have completed their learning that they need, they will be hungry for something to help them that is new, and will come to those such as yourself because they are seeking, they are looking, they are asking. You do not need to take a directive role in that process.
When you encounter people who seem to be misguided (from your point of view), it would be valuable to ask yourself why you have manifested this in your life. Rather than focusing outward on what you need to do to change that person, consider what you need to do to change yourself. That is where you will be most effective.
Is there a part of you that is still looking for authorities to save you, looking for stories to relieve you, open to not seeing realities or truths that are in front of you? Perhaps you are manifesting that in your outer world as other people who seem to be engaging that.
When you are in the fourth dimension, you won’t have this sense that you have to change the outer world. You will simply change yourself and your outer world will change. So to focus on changing the outer world is to commit to stay in the third dimension. That is a third-dimensional process. It is much better to change yourself and create a different world.
And, while you are in the third dimension, there will be actions, there will be steps that you need to take. It is not that you should never act in the third dimension, or only go into the inner and wait until you are in the fourth dimension. If you are in third dimension then there is a balance, an active role that is called for. This is similar to what I was referring to when I said “give to Cesar what is Cesar’s.” Give to the third dimension what is the third dimension’s. But do not be called to that as your life work. Your life work is to grow in love and light. And that will manifest around you as the obvious sign that that is occurring.
Is that clear?
Question: Yes. Thank you. I love you so much.
Yeshua: And I love you.
Now we will close this session. I thank you so much for sharing your heart space with me. I love you all so much. With great blessings, I leave this circumstance, but never your heart.

Archangel Michael & Isis: Clarifying The Ascension Process
Part 2 of a Message
Given through Mercedes Kirkel on February 3, 2013
Now we wish to hear your questions, especially questions about your process of transition into these newer energies, this newer frequency, newer consciousness, or questions about the energies, frequencies, consciousness—if there’s understanding you would like to have. Please share with us what your questions are now.
Question: After moving into fifth dimensional frequency and higher, is there ever a point where you’re no longer needing to transmute the lower energies in the emotional body, mental body? Does it ever reach a state of pure expansion, rather than contraction and expansion?
Archangel Michael and Isis: There is a subtle form of differentiation from Source that’s still in effect all the way up to complete reunion with Source. As you go to higher and higher levels of consciousness and the higher dimensions, the sense of differentiation becomes less and less. It becomes more and more light. Nevertheless, it is there through all the different levels. But you will not experience it the way you are used to experiencing it in the third dimension, and to some extent in the fourth dimension, as something that is binding, that is heavy, that is painful. That will change. It will become more and more about joy and love and expansion.
That is a great deal of what the learning is about in the fourth dimension. Certainly you have started it at the third dimension, but you will be focusing on it more purely at the fourth dimension. It will be about learning to stay in the higher frequency emotions and not get drawn into the lower frequency emotions in the way that, at the third dimension, many of you had a sense that you had no choice about. It seemed to just happen to you. You had choice about how to respond, but it seemed you did not necessarily have choice how to change the event and the cycle altogether. At the fourth dimension, it will become very clear to you that you do have choice and that you can manifest the higher frequencies.
There are two aspects to this, as is so often the case in manifestation. There is an aspect that you could call the more feminine aspect and there is an aspect that you could call the more masculine aspect. The more masculine aspect has to do with intention and choice. You choose to stay in the higher frequencies and understand how to do that, by setting an intention and following through with your actions. These are not physical actions. These are emotional actions, mental actions, but they are actions nonetheless, that allow you to be in choice about your emotional reality.
The more feminine aspect is the aspect of surrender and opening through whatever emotion arises, all the way through to Source and ultimately to God. In that, the force of the emotion, if it is a lower frequency emotion, dissolves and takes you into the higher frequencies.
Depending on your nature, one or the other may be more natural to you, and you may choose one or the other more frequently, simply by what feels most accessible and effective for you. For many of you, it will be valuable to have skills to engage both and to be able to call upon whichever seems most effective and easeful in whatever situation arises.
The work of our sister, Mary Magdalene, has been very clarifying about the Feminine process and very valuable in helping many of you to understand that, in a way that many of you have not understood in the past. Your spiritual traditions that are already in existence have largely taught the masculine path. So there are many ways that are familiar to most of you through which you know how to engage the masculine path of intention followed by action.
All of this will become more clear to you at the fourth dimension because you so quickly manifest the results of your choices. It will become more important to you to maintain yourself in the higher frequency, and you will start to increase and refine your skills that allow you to do this.
Question: How is humanity doing on our ascension process? Is there any timeline? Is this going to take hundreds or thousands of years for humanity to ascend into the fifth dimension? Is it going to be gradual, with humans doing it here and there, or is it going to be more of a collective, with most of humanity doing it within the same timeframe?
Archangel Michael and Isis: These are questions that many people have in their minds and hearts. Partly they want reassurance about their own process; partly wanting to know the future for a sense of security, understanding, and a certain level of safety. For the most part, these are not answers we can give you, in part because this is being created by all of you and we do not have the answers; and also because it is not our work to know about future timelines in this way. It is our work to help you at your present stage into your next stage. But we are not informed ourselves as to how that will occur and along what timeframes.
Question: Can you tell us how we’re doing at the present time, then, with this process?
Archangel Michael and Isis: You are doing quite well. In particular, the people who understand at least the beginning stages of the ascension process, and are interested and committed to going through this themselves, are especially doing very well. There is a lightening in your world, in general, because of that. This is affecting others, even those who are not aware of there being an ascension process and are not choosing to take steps themselves to be involved in this form of transformation into the higher realms. It is happening nonetheless.
It is not going to be a process of eons, especially into the fourth dimension. This is a first step that your world, in general, is making. It is possible for beings to move into the fifth dimension in a more direct and permanent way. In the past that has, in general, involved leaving this dimension. But that is not so much what is happening now. What is happening now is a transformation at a group scale. It is not an individual process as it has been in the past.
Somewhat humorously, one aspect of your making progress in this transformation will be the relaxation of your concern around time. (Archangel Michael and Isis gently laugh.) You will come to see that time is not the way you view it in the third dimension. More and more you will be going into the present. Within that will contain all time, because there is only the present. So you will more and more replace your sense of linear time—where things are happening at some point in the future and you are wondering when that will be—with a sense of completion and wholeness in the present, where nothing else is required in terms of time, and that time happens within the expansive space of the present.
Question: I find myself very bored with this third dimensional reality. I find spending more time in the high fourth and the fifth dimension because it’s where I feel I belong. Are we able to stay in the fifth dimension, even though we have a physical body? Are we able to move between the fourth and fifth dimensions on a regular basis, or do we have to wait for everybody else to come along?
Archangel Michael and Isis: You can most certainly move between the dimensions, but that does not mean that you are based in that dimension. You will return, as you are now, to wherever you are based.
You have always been able to change your base into a higher dimension. It has not been easy, but it has been possible. But that is a soul-level choice. Most of you who have come here at this time have made the soul-level choice to be part of this group ascension process. So it is unlikely that you will make that ascension on your own, independent of others, because that was not your soul choice in coming here.
It is natural that as this shift to a higher-dimensional base becomes closer, as you experience the higher dimensions more, that it becomes more and more desirable—you are desirous of this. It is natural that the third dimension will become less and less attractive. Indeed, that is a part of the process that will inevitably happen.
As you become stronger in the ascension process, the fourth dimension will become less of a place that you visit and more of a place that you hold within yourself. You will take it with you wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, even as you exist in the third dimension. So there will be less of a sense of third dimension versus the other dimensions. Eventually they will merge because in your consciousness, in your heart, in your core, you are existing at the fourth dimension. Even though you may be participating in the third dimension, the fourth dimension will more and more be your base. So the third dimension won’t feel the way you have felt it in the past. You will not have the experiences of it you’ve had in the past. It will more be that you stay founded in the fourth dimension and are able to operate in the third dimension from that place.
When you encounter beings that you consider great spiritual beings—great realizers, yogis, saints, sages, teachers—and you go into their presence and feel a quality that is very uplifting or very transforming for you, this is what you are experiencing. You are experiencing their inner state that they carry with them of a higher consciousness and a higher dimension, even while manifesting in the third dimension. This is what you will more and more experience, until it reaches a certain critical mass, which will be bigger than just you. It will be many people carrying this consciousness together, which will change your world, change your reality. It will no longer be the apparent reality that you are familiar with now.
Most likely this will be a gradual process. It is like a child growing up, where you look back and say, “Oh my, I remember being that age when I was that young. How different I was.” But when you went through those processes, they were incremental and you didn’t necessarily notice them along the way. You just seemed like you were being you. Others may have noticed your changes, but you, yourself, didn’t notice them so much. This may seem like that. But it is happening at a scale that is much larger than the individual scale. Nonetheless, you feel it as an individual and it is changing you as an individual.
One of the steps of this process of going into the higher dimensions that is important is to not be private about it. Do not feel that it is necessary to do this in seclusion. Bring it out into the world. Shine your love, your consciousness. Express it, be it in the world. That will help you in this integration.
And ask for it to be so. Ask to stay in that higher dimension, that higher frequency. Ask for that to become and then to be the frequency, the consciousness, the dimension in which you reside. Asking is extremely powerful. So ask for that.
Question: There are a lot of people on earth that are focused on peace—individual peace, world peace, and peace in our universes. Are there suggestions you would like share to really anchor that frequency in the earth plane?
Archangel Michael and Isis: Absolutely. It is wonderful that so many are focused on peace and are desirous of peace. What you have not fully understood is the way that things manifest in your realm. Things only manifest if you manifest them first on the inner planes, through your heart and your higher mind. Many of you are not at peace with yourself. Many of you are not at peace with life, are not at peace with God. This is where you must do the work.
This emotional work is critical to creating peace. Many of you are not at peace with your emotions. Many of you are not at peace with your body. Many of you are not at peace with your sexuality. What you manifest at the outer is always a reflection of the inner.
There is a certain humor—you might say irony—in that some people are not at peace with the lack of peace. (gentle laughter) That is the work that must be done. It is especially emotional work. You may not know this peace until you have done that work. You can do that work now. Many beings can do that work now. The more beings that do, the more you will experience peace in your world.
Everything is a reflection of the inner—everything. As such, it has value. It can help you to pinpoint where your work is to be done, if you understand it as such. Attempting to change the outer without changing the inner will always be futile, never satisfactory.
The peace that you seek is the love and peace of God, not in some otherworld sense, such as going to heaven. God’s love and peace is a very practical thing. But it is one of the features of the third dimension that God’s love and peace is largely hidden from most people, such that you think that you have to go somewhere else to attain it. That is not the case. But you do need to work with yourself, with your inner structures that are hiding God’s love and peace from you. That is the most valuable work to be done, because when you do it you will experience God’s love and peace, which is what everyone desires. So we highly recommend this.
When you are full in this, you will be at peace with all, even with those who are apparently not at peace, even with those circumstances that you would not call peaceful. And we must underscore that this does not mean that you will take no action. This is not the same as being passive. It is simply that you will remain in peace as you take action. As long as you are manifesting in this third dimension, there are actions to be taken. It is part of being at this level. When you are manifesting at the fourth dimension or higher, there will be different actions.
So do not confuse peace with passivity. They are not the same. Peace is in your heart. When you experience that peace, you will be guided to whatever action is for the highest.
Question: When we ascend to the fifth dimension, where do we go?
Archangel Michael and Isis: There are different options. Partly it depends how this unfolds.
There are different places where you may choose to manifest. But many of you have a strong connection to the Earth. You have a love for Earth, and She of you, which makes it likely that you will stay connected to this place and that your manifestation will be involved with this realm.
When you attain the fifth dimension, you are not so tied, so locked into a place as you are at the third dimension. So there are different possibilities. Some of you may travel to different places, to serve in different ways, to participate in different ways. But it is very likely that you will continue your association with the Earth in Her fifth dimensional form, until you are called by your soul to continue your journey elsewhere.
Most of you have had manifestations and incarnations in other places. You may not remember them, but there is a soul affinity. This is another possibility—you may choose to return to other places where you have other soul connections. It’s a little bit like your airport, where you make connections and go to different places. You will have many options. Your soul will know the right one for you.
We urge you not to be concerned. Relax your minds. All is well. All is unfolding most perfectly. Allow your mind to drop into your heart. Allow yourself to be guided by this unity of heart and mind. Allow your thinking to serve you, but not to be your master. Your hearts are strong and are growing.
We sense it is time to bring this sharing to a close. It has been most delightful to be with you. We hope our sharing with you has been helpful and supportive, for that is our heart desire. We love you. We’re available to you whenever you call upon us. And so, with that, we close for now, once more expressing our tremendous love for you and our gratitude for all you do.
We shine our light of the heart to you and to your heart. And in that exquisiteness of light we leave you.

Archangel Michael & Isis: The Path Before You
Part 1 of a Message
Given through Mercedes Kirkel on February 3, 2013
Blessings dear ones. Today two of us are coming through. It is Archangel Michael and Isis who are moved to be with you, together. This is our joint voice speaking.
We begin by thanking you. We thank you for inviting us to come and be with you. We thank you for holding this space. We thank you for this beautiful opportunity to express our communications, our love, our help and support to all of you. Thank you dear ones. We love you immensely.
We are aware that this is a new time for many of you, and in some ways, a somewhat confusing time. Many of you had expectations as to what would be happening at the close of last year, specifically on the date of the winter solstice, December 21st. There were a variety of things that many people were expecting. And for the most part, many of those expectations did not manifest in the way that you were anticipating.
This caused some level of curiosity—for some of you a level of confusion or even concern about what did actually happen, why you had the expectations you had, and why they didn’t manifest in the way that you were thinking they were going to. Some of you are still in a state of wondering about that. And this has carried over into this new time that you are in now.
We wish to explain a little about this to begin, because we are aware that there is a sense of curiosity, wonderment, and some lack of full understanding about this time. You did go through a transition. For most of you it was not in the form that you were thinking it might be. It was certainly much subtler than most of you expected. But it was nonetheless a transition. For many of you, you are able to feel it more at this time than you actually were at the time of the winter solstice. You are feeling a sense of newness, a sense of beginning-ness in many ways. This, too, is somewhat subtle. But many of you are in touch with it and can feel, can sense that there is a newness, that something has begun that is different. We concur and agree with this.
You are at the beginning of a new phase. We are considering, for a moment, if that is entirely accurate, because you are also in the midst of a process that is very large, that has been going on for many, many years, and that you are in the midst of, truly in the center of. That is true, too. So both are going on. You might say that the center was a turning point. You have gone through that turning point at the center and now have begun something new.
It is this newness that we wish to address. It is the newness of beginning to move into a new state of consciousness and the associated outer reality that comes with that state of consciousness. It is both fourth dimensional and moving into the fifth dimension, because the fourth dimension is a transitional dimension into the fifth dimension. Depending on your unique path and journey, you are somewhere in a continuum that could be anywhere from the early stages of the fourth dimension into the fifth dimension.
The fourth dimension and fifth dimension are not the same. They are different. Part of what we want to talk about is what the differences are, so you can understand this more fully. In the fourth dimension you’re moving into being more centered in your energy body. You still are physically manifest, but it has a much lighter quality. You don’t feel as densely, grossly, purely physical as you do in the third dimension. You feel lighter, more energetically based, more of an energy being, and more energized altogether. The easiest way to understand the fourth dimension is that it is very much like what you experience when you dream. Things are not so fixed and not so physically immutable. They can change much more quickly. You can travel in ways that don’t seem possibly in the physically based third dimension. Things can manifest very quickly, as opposed to the third dimension, where things do manifest, but it seems that it’s much harder and takes more time and more work. So the fourth dimension is a much more fluid dimension. It’s also a much more emotional dimension.
Part of the gateway for entering the fourth dimension involves emotions—that you are able to be connected to your emotions and that, optimally, you have achieved a strong level of emotional mastery. The reason that this part is important is because it will determine the quality of experience you have at the fourth dimension. The less emotional mastery you have, the more you will experience the emotions that, for most of you, are more disturbing—emotions of fear—especially fear—but also emotions of anger, emotions of sorrow, grief, loss, and other emotions that most of you find more disturbing, or difficult, or dark, heavy, however you experience them. This will be more your experience if you do not have the emotional mastery.
The more that you have the emotional mastery, the more you will be able to resonate at the higher frequency levels of the fourth dimension and the more you will experience the emotions that accompany those higher frequencies. These are the emotions that most of you tend to enjoy more, emotions such as joy, peace, love, harmony, bliss, compassion—those types.
So emotions become much more important at the fourth dimension. They actually have been important at the physical, third dimensional level, also. But your physicality has oftentimes been able to mask that or override it, so that you have been able to, if you choose, not be as involved in the emotions. At the fourth dimension, emotions are unavoidable. They are a key aspect of what you experience. So your emotional skill and mastery becomes much more important there, just as your physical mastery and skill is much more important in the third dimension.
There is already more harmony and balance between the masculine and physical sides of yourself at the fourth dimension. This coincides with emotions being stronger, because that is a part of your more feminine nature. Your mind is also stronger. The fourth dimension is more of an emotional-mental realm. But most of you, at the present level of your incarnation, have already developed great strength in your mind. So for most of you, there will not be as much change in that arena.
If you have not already strengthened your will, that becomes important at the fourth dimension because your intention will very quickly be reflected in your manifestation. This is an aspect of will—what you are intending and what you are choosing. Your intentions and choices become immediately obvious at the fourth dimension through your manifestation. So your will is another arena that may need strengthening and help for some of you.
In general, you will find the fourth dimension more enjoyable than the third dimension, partly because of your ability of manifestation in that dimension. You will experience a level of wellbeing that, for the most part, you have not been able to continuously experience at the third dimension. Part of your growth at the fourth dimension will involve growth in terms of your manifestation. There is a natural learning curve with this. You will be helped with all of these things, just as you are helped in this dimension. There will be beings who will help you at the fourth dimension as you enter into that as somewhat of a fledgling, a new, young being in that dimension.
In relative amounts of time, your time at the fourth dimension will be considerably shorter than the time that you have spent at the third dimension as a soul, because, as we said earlier, it is a transitional dimension and you will be moving into the fifth dimension. The fifth dimension is the beginning of becoming a full energy-light being and releasing the physical. At the fifth dimension you are grounded in the spiritual values and truths that many of you aspire to at this point, that many of you realize to a certain degree, but are not fully manifesting at all times. These are values such as unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, harmony. At the fifth dimension, you realize your non-separateness from all in a much more profound way, because you are not experiencing the separateness that comes with physicality. This is a great shift for many of you.
Many of you have had experiences of this. This is part of what starts to happen as you make this transition. You start to have experiences. At first it’s perhaps a one-time thing or a very rare experience. As you become stronger, it becomes more of an occasional experience. That continues to increase, becoming more frequent, until you are having somewhat regular experiences. Over time, it becomes more and more the majority of your experiences, until that is where you are based and that is your experience on an ongoing basis.
Many of you are in that phase where you are having increasing experiences, with more and more frequency. That is a most wonderful thing. It is a sign of what is happening. It is kind of like an image we see of beings becoming lighter and lighter and starting to float slowly into the next dimension. In general, it doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in this gradual way.
You can support this process. Your meditation is a very important time for supporting this process. The more frequently, the more regularly you meditate, the more you extend your period of meditation so that you’re spending time in these higher frequencies, these higher states of consciousness and dimensions—the more that becomes strengthened within you and the more you will be able to experience that in your more everyday, functioning aspect of life. You can also intend to spend time in these realms, in this consciousness, in your sleep—through your will, through your intention. These are two of your most supportive ways of increasing this in your life.
You can also spend time with other people who share this commitment to moving into these higher states, and who are available to openly communicate about this and express this, and to hear your expression about it. Your expression will support each other and your fields of energy will support each other. Eventually you will more and more choose to stay in connection with other beings who are sharing this process and sharing these higher states with you. You will choose to create your life and your living and working circumstances so that you are sharing your spaces with others of like consciousness and like commitment. These will be forms of spiritual community that you will more and more choose, so that you share this support and companionship and this process of increasing the potency of your experience of these higher states, through the magnification that occurs when you are in the company of others who are doing the same process that you are engaged in.
We encourage this as well. It will not be as difficult as it has been in the past to cooperate with others, to share space, to share joint endeavors with others. That was the old, heavier, denser consciousness that was creating conflict and competition and struggle. Those things are falling to the wayside, giving way to these newer, lighter energies of care and inclusion for others, of joy in others’ joy, others’ growth, others’ wellbeing and fullness. It will create an ease of sharing with each other that will be part of what feeds you, part of what supports you, gives you all energy.
So we come to reassure you about this. This is part of the new age that you are moving into. It will not be as difficult in your heart-connecting, higher-mind-connecting with others. It will be more flowing, more joyful, more easeful.

Relating to Money & Twin Flames
From High Angel Pietre
Part 2 of a Message Received through Mercedes Kirkel
on January 20, 2013
Question: I would like to ask about money and have your perspective on money, as we go forward in these changing times. A lot of people live their whole life just focusing on making ends meet, which could be a limitation on how to evolve in their own development. What’s your perspective on money and how to navigate in relation to it?
High Angel Pietre: This is a very broad question and I enjoy it.
The first thing I wish to say is that money is a very third-dimensional mechanism, which is very much based in the physical kind of consciousness. In the third dimension, when people are very physically based, very dualistically based, they often lose connection with their life-purpose, which gives meaning to their life. When this happens, individuals find other things to give meaning to their life. And one of the things that many people have found is money—the attainment of money, the collection of money, the keeping of money, the spending of money, the flaunting of money. (Pietre laughs)
Really, money is only a vehicle that you have created in the physical realm for representing energy. It is a way of storing energy in a physical, concrete form—not the actual energy but the exchange of energy. Rather than giving energy to someone in the present moment, you can give them money. Then they can give that to someone else later as a form of energy and it can be stored. It’s an understood system. You can exchange energy in this way so that you do not have to exchange it in the moment. You can do it over time. There is some ingeniousness to this system. It does address some of the challenges you face in the third dimension with physicality relative to space and time. But it also has its limits.
The greatest limit of money is that it gives people the sense that energy is limited, that there is only so much available, because money is finite. And usually the money that any particular individual has is finite. Any time there is a sense of limitation like this, it is generally accompanied by a sense of fear—fear of there not being enough. This is another characteristic of the third dimension. There is a sense of there not being enough of what you need—whether that be money, things that money can buy, resources, or things that you need to survive and sustain you in the physical dimension. It can also take subtler forms, feeling that there is not enough friendship, not enough love, not enough community, not enough caring, not enough whatever.
This consciousness that there is not enough is one of the hallmarks of the third dimension. And money greatly reinforces this consciousness. This is probably the greatest limitation that most people suffer relative to money, this reinforcement of the idea of there not being enough. In truth, there is plenty. You might say there is more than enough. There is certainly always enough.
This is part of the shift to the fourth dimension. When you are in the fourth dimension, if you need something, you will realize that you have the power to manifest it. You have that power now in the third dimension. But because your consciousness is so tied into physicality, duality, limitation, and the sense of there not being enough, it is difficult to make use of that power. It is difficult to believe in it. When you make the transition to the fourth dimension, it will become easeful and obvious that you have that ability, that power. When you have that, it will change everything.
Imagine that you had enough of whatever you needed or even wanted at this time. How would you change your world? How would you change your life? Would you still do what you do now during the daytime? Or during the nighttime? Would you still spend your time and your energy in the same way? Would you care about money? (Pietre laughs) Would you need money? Would you relate to other people differently? These are valuable things to consider, because they give you a glimpse of what you’re moving into.
In some ways, a person’s sense of dependence on money, or their attachment to money, or their feeling of being confined or limited by money is a reflection of where their consciousness is primarily resting right now in the spectrum of moving from completely third-dimensionally based consciousness into fourth-dimensionally based consciousness. The greater freedom you have in your consciousness, the greater freedom you will have relative to money. Ultimately, that freedom will allow you to interact with money very freely. But at that time, you also may not need money anymore as a method of exchanging energy. It will have become obsolete.
For many of you, that will be a great joy. It will free up energy because there is energy bound in the way that your consciousness is relating to money and assuming limitation around money. So that is very much involved in this transition being talked about. That does not mean that overnight everyone will let go of money, and you won’t need it, and everything will change. That is always a possibility, but it is relatively unlikely in the scale of possibilities. It is more likely that you will change gradually in your relationship to energy and exchange of energy, because this tends to support stability in individuals, as well as groups. And it is generally the way that is most easeful for change to occur.
Question: I would like to ask about how to stay centered when one has the feeling of having one foot in the third dimension and one foot in the fourth dimension, and not really doing either one of them solidly. There can be confusion that arises or just deep inner angst around having one foot in this dimension and one foot in the next.
High Angel Pietre: This is natural for the kind of change and the speed of change that many of you are undergoing. It is unfamiliar, which often brings a certain level of fear with it.
It is probably more the foot, as you say, in the old ways, the old dimension, the old consciousness that is more experiencing the fear. The third dimension is very much centered around fear, in general. And it is fear specifically about survival, because it is a physically-based realm with this sense of limitation and this pervasive sense of separation. For many people, at the physical level, that is represented by death—separation from life. So at the most physically based level, there’s a sense of “How can I spend my time doing these things?” or “How can I allow myself to be in this way that might be dangerous, that might not support my survival?” That is a third dimensional fear that arises, when you stop doing the things you have learned to do at the third dimension to insure your survival.
There are things you can do to make it easier. One is to know that you’re going to feel a certain level of discomfort, or fear, or anxiety because you’re experiencing new things. Just that awareness can help. Oftentimes children go through this, when they’re experiencing something new to them in this lifetime. What can help them is to have others who are older, who they trust, who have already gone through this who reassure them. If you have connection with guides, angels, beings who you sense are operating at a higher dimension, you might ask them for their help, their support, their reassurance, if that is open to you.
You can always ask for help. You can always ask God directly for help. You can always ask for help from whoever feels most available, accessible, and aligned to you to ask for that help. It is good to ask for help that is for your highest good and the highest good of all. That is always a valuable thing to do. But you can ask for help in very practical ways. You can ask for help for very day-to-day things: “I’m struggling with this.” “I’m feeling tired.” “I’m feeling grumpy.” “I’m feeling confused.” “I’m feeling unsure.” “Please help me.” You can ask for those. Oftentimes people don’t realize that you can ask for help, just the way you might ask one of your best friends for help.
And you can also ask your friends for help! (Pietre laughs.) One of the things that’s very, very valuable to do is to talk to other people who you sense are going through something similar. This is why gatherings of this nature are very important, for you to talk to others about what’s occurring, because support is very valuable. For those of you who are in the forefront, who are the leaders in going through this change, it is very valuable to have support from others who are in a similar position. So talk to them. Tell them what you’re experiencing. Ask what they’re experiencing. Ask how they’re dealing with it. That will be helpful, to support each other in that way.
It’s also very valuable to notice your own process and be aware of it. Notice that you might be feeling confused, overwhelmed, tired, whatever it is. Then notice, “Oh, things still worked out alright, even though I felt strange, funny, I didn’t do things the way I usually do them. Things still worked out alright.” That can help reassure you that you can take the next step and you will be alright.
Or you might reflect back and say, “Well, things worked out alright in this way. And this could have been better if I had made these choices instead.” Then you can modify your next steps. So this can also help you, by being aware of your own process and how it’s working or not working. Allow that to inform you.
Do the things you already know how to do. If you know how to take care of your body well, do that. If you know how to take care of yourself well socially, do that. Do it even more than you might tend to do. It’s like preventive medicine. It will support you and you might be surprised. There might be things that you’re needing more of that you don’t realize. You might be needing more of physical strengthening, more of getting out in fresh air and having exercise, more of being nice to yourself, being gentle and nurturing with yourself, things like taking a bath or a nap or a special dessert for yourself or whatever it is. Think about the things that help you and do more of them.
Relate to yourself the way you might relate to a good friend who is going through something like this. What advice would you give to them? Give it to yourself and follow it.
One other thing that I strongly recommend is to create a regular practice, a meditation practice. I use that word cautiously, because some of you have very confined notions of what meditation is. It does not have to be sitting in a certain position and stilling you mind in the way that perhaps you have thought was meditation. It means doing what you do to allow yourself to access higher states of consciousness. Create a regular rhythm, a regular form and practice, where you do that as often as you need to to maintain that, to support yourself in that, where you don’t lose it. That will tell you what regularity you require. How often do you need to do that so that it is maintained, rather than forgotten about and then you re-access it and go, “Oh yes, now I remember again.” Find that. Support yourself with the regularity that you find is optimum for you. This I highly recommend.
The other thing that can be very helpful at times like these is to offer help to others, especially others who are close to the level that you are dealing with but maybe not quite there, so that you have your own experience to offer them and your own sense of confidence in the path. That can also be very helpful.
Question: Is there a twin flame for each one of us?
High Angel Pietre: There is a twin flame for everyone, but not necessarily manifesting in the same realm that you are currently manifesting in. Even if you are currently manifesting in the same realm as your twin flame, it is not necessarily for the highest good of both of you and the highest good of all that you meet and recognize each other as twin flames at this time. But there is absolutely a twin flame for each being.
In your meditation, in your sleep, in your times of resting in communion with your higher self, you can make the connection with your twin flame in the heart. You can potentially communicate with your twin flame. What is more likely is that you would be most moved to simply rest in that incredible heart space together. That is something that is always available to everyone.
Sometimes twin flames will make an agreement that one of the twin flames will incarnate and the other of the twin flames will support the one who’s incarnating from a higher dimension to help them remember who they are, and to help them remember that they are not separate from the higher dimensions.
As you move into the higher dimensions, it is much more likely that you will be uniting with your twin flame in that same dimension. But here in the third dimension, there has been concern about individuals forgetting their process of knowing themselves as God and returning to God. For this reason, this structure was set in place as a safeguard—having one of the twin flames remain in a higher dimension to help anchor that awareness, so that the one in the third dimension did not become lost by forgetting who they are and what their life-purpose is.
We will close now. This has been most special for me to have this time with you. My heart is enriched by my connection with all of you. You are all beautiful beings, more than you may know. Your light is so strong, so powerful. Your love is immense. And I, along with many others, hold you in high, high regard. We offer our love, our blessings, our support, and protection.
Blessings to all of you.

Relationships in the New Energy
From Lady Mary
Part 2 of a Message Given through Mercedes Kirkel on January 6, 2013
[Note: Lady Mary is the same being often referred to as Mother Mary.]
Now I would like to hear your questions. What would you like to ask of me, that I can be of service and help you. Please ask me now.
Question: The question I would like to ask is about relationships. There are so many of us right now that are searching for that special one and have a desire to join in a sacred relationship. We’re feeling almost like a struggle with this. What was the purpose of that?
Lady Mary:For many of you, your light was required in making this transition you have been going through in your world. It was very important that the shift in your world be the primary arena that your light was being given to. So there was an aspect that was called in of putting relationships on hold if they were not already formed, if they were not already strong and full relationships. This has been a part of what has been going on. It has been mysterious to many of you, whose hearts long for that kind of connection—which is natural—and wondering why that is not coming in, when you feel so ready, so prepared, and so desirous of having that strong love with another being.
This is changing now. It is part of this change that you are beginning to go through. Again, it will not be immediate and overnight, where everyone will immediately be in a relationship that they have dreamed of. But the field is open now. The new energy has come in. It has been grounded. It has been set in place. The frequency is there now; it is stable. So this is going to free up people to move forward in their personal paths in ways that it was asked that this be on hold for a period of time prior to now.
We thank all of you who have given your light, your love, your service to this transformation of your world. The effect, let me assure you, is going beyond your world. It is not just this world that is being affected. The change that is happening is vast. Your part in it has been most important, each of you, and it has been required that your energy be given. But now that is being freed up. So you will find new openness, new ease in creating the love relationships that you desire.
For some of you, this will not be entirely on the same dimension as the one that you are primarily manifesting in. Some of your relationships will be in higher dimensions, where there are beings of higher dimensions, and you will find this very fulfilling and satisfying. It will not be, “Oh well, that’s nice but doesn’t really fill me the way that I am wanting.” For some of you it will be extremely satisfying and wonderful. For others of you, that will not be the case and your primary relationship will be on the same dimension in which you are primarily manifesting.
You also should know that part of the shift that you have gone through is that in the old form, the old consciousness, the old reality, partner relationships of an intimate kind were virtually the only kind of safe haven that you experienced for your heart, where you could open up to the depths of your being in a way that not only sustained you but fed you, kept you going, nurtured you. Now it is not going to be so. It is not going to be that that will be the only form through which you will be fed and sustained. More and more you will be forming families of light, communities of light, villages of light, networks of light, where you are feeding and supporting each other in many, many ways. This is going to create great freedom for you, great love, great support. It will allow you to expand your relationship possibilities.
You may still find yourself in wonderful partnership relationships with an intimate. These forms may also change. They may take new forms that in the past you did not think you would be involved in. But it will also be that you will be fed by many forms of relationships, many kinds. It will not be that you will be relying on one person, primarily, for your love, for your security, for your companionship, for your spiritual closeness, for so many things that in the past most people have looked to and received from their intimate relationships. Now it is going to be so much fuller. You will not feel the kind of desperation that so many of you have sadly experienced, feeling that you had to work so hard to survive—physically, emotionally, socially, however it was. This is also going to be changing.
You are going to be assured that you will be cared for, that you will be loved in this dimension in a new way. It is going to make life so much easier, so much happier, more joyful, so much more full because you are freed up to live your true life purpose, whatever that is, and are giving that and sharing that so fully and freely with others. Your world is going to be a different place. And the role of relationships in your world will change because of that.
But that does not cancel out, it does not negate that intimate relationships are one of the great joys of human beings. You will certainly continue to experience those and they will be supported in new, wonderful ways. And many will be coming in. That is part of this new time that is happening. We thank all those who have waited, which, we are so aware, has not always been easy. Thank you so much.
Question: Some of the people in my life are challenging to be with in a compassionate and loving way. I want to create a healthy boundary for myself with these beings. I want to release them with love and compassion, but I don’t always know how to do that gracefully. Can you offer any advice?
Lady Mary: Yes. I thank you for your question. This is something that many people struggle with and it is most valuable that you ask.
There is both inner work and outer work that you can do in relationship to people who are challenging in your life. The inner work is to ask yourself why you have called this person or this situation into your life. Even to get to that question is a step of responsibility that is valuable and not always easy for people to make. People oftentimes feel that they have no choice in the matter of what is manifesting in their life. But in reality, you have always had choice.
Some of the things in your life are things you have called in for particular reasons—to help you grow. There is a phrase that some people have used called “tough love.” When you have these kinds of difficult situations in your life, they are actually a form of tough love that you have given to yourself. They are helping you in some way.
Sometimes the people you have difficulties with are reflecting yourself in ways that are hard for you to see. But because you have manifested them, it is a sign that, through the law of attraction, you have called in that which is like yourself. There is some aspect of what is happening that is like yourself. Oftentimes, when you are struggling with it, it is because you do not realize the similarity. And so you do not see it as a gift, either. You see it as a burden or a hardship.
It is very valuable to look at the circumstances and the people in your life that you have difficulty with and say, “Why have I brought this into my life? Is this reflecting something in me that I need to look at? Is this circumstance or this action that the person is engaging similar to a circumstance I create or actions that I take?”
Or perhaps you call in a circumstance or a person because it supports you in a certain way. Actually it is always the case that it is supporting you in a certain way. If it were not supporting you, you would not be calling it in. So this is another question that you can ask yourself: “In what way is this situation supporting me? What am I getting out of being in this situation?” This may be difficult to see. It may be helpful to ask another person who you trust to help you with these questions, to see it from another perspective, because you may be hiding it from yourself. It may be something that you’re scared of facing about yourself, in some way or other.
When you get to the root of these questions, when you get to the place where you can answer these questions and it feels true for yourself—and you will know when you get there; you know within yourself when it has that ring of truth, when your body says, “Yes, ah-ha, this is what is really going on.” When you get to that place, it’s like a knot that unwinds. Suddenly you don’t need that outer circumstance anymore to reflect to you what’s going on. You’ve received the gift. You’ve received the lesson. And you can start to be in choice about how you want to respond to that circumstance, that lesson, whatever it was.
Once you start to make that response and you start to change yourself, you will see your outer circumstance change. You will no longer need that circumstance and you will no longer be calling it in. You will call something else in from the changes you make.
So that is the inner work that needs to be done. And it is important that you do that first. If you only do the outer work, you will simply create this same pattern, this same scenario in another circumstance or with another person in your life. This is because you have not changed what’s really at the root, what you’re doing that’s calling that situation in so that it manifests in your outer circumstance. So it is very valuable to do the inner work first.
Once you do that inner work, it will generally be easy to change the outer. You will be a different person and you will have a new freedom—energy will be freed up from the work that you have done. With this energy, and also with the clarity of new awareness and new consciousness that comes in, you will have much greater ease in creating a different circumstance in your outer world. This different circumstance may include all sorts of practical things. It may be that you spend less time with people who are difficult for you. You may choose to change certain circumstances. You might change your living circumstance, your work circumstance, whatever it is. But it will be much easier, because you’re a different person and you now have freed up energy and awareness to make this change. It will also be more joyful, because joy has been released for you in your life.
The final thing is that you will have compassion. When you have made these changes within yourself, then you will see that these other people who are difficult for you are simply struggling with their own growth, doing the best they know how with their life lessons and their growth. You will have compassion for them. That will be a very different circumstance than feeling that they are somehow controlling you. They will have lost their control over you. Then you will be free to love and have compassion.
Is this helpful to you?
Questioner: Yes. I feel that I do offer love and compassion. Sometimes it’s not received as that and it’s taken advantage of.
Lady Mary: You cannot engage the love and compassion until you do the inner work. Before that point it will never be felt as love and compassion. Love and compassion on the outer level alone is very limited in its scope, because you’re still struggling on the inner realm relative to these people. That is what you actually communicate outwardly, is your struggle. So people feel that.
When you have done the inner work, you become strong. You may not be able to change your circumstance. And certainly, you do not want to try to change the other people. That almost never works. And it is almost never beneficial to you or the other person to try to do that.
What you want is to love the other person. But you can only love them when you are free. As long as you are feeling controlled by them, you are not able to love them. It’s not possible. You need that love for yourself first. So put your attention on yourself. Give your love to yourself. Do your own work. Then it will unfold in a natural, true way that leaves you strong. You may not be able to affect the circumstance with the person, but you will be able to remain in love.
It is a beautiful thing that so many of you long to be compassionate and loving with people, even people that you have difficulty towards. But sometimes this is a gesture that actually creates a kind of a barrier, a wall, an artifice that is not most supportive for you or for others. True love, true compassion arises naturally on its own. It is natural to you to be compassionate and loving. If you are not compassionate and loving, you need to tend to yourself, not to the other person. It is not to try to superimpose, or even “inflict” compassion or love on another. It is to look at what you are suffering, what is your pain that is keeping you from being compassionate and loving, naturally. That is the work that is so important.
You see, you are always creating the outer world. You might think of it as being like your dreams. When you’re in the dream, it’s not so obvious that it’s a dream. Then you wake up and you think, “Oh, that was just a dream.” And it’s easy to think, “I just created that.” Sometimes you may think other things about your dreams. But there is an element with dreams where it’s much more obvious to you that you’re creating it, and that it can change very quickly. It doesn’t take long processes of great effort to change a dream. You can change a dream in an instant. And many of you do. Many of you know this power.
This realm is not any different. Just like a dream, you don’t have to go around fixing all the characters in your dream. Your work is with yourself, with your consciousness. As soon as that consciousness changes, the dream changes. So it is with this realm. It is just the same. This is going to become more and more apparent to you in this new time, and you will enjoy it most wonderfully. Your skills will come to you. You are young in these abilities of bringing this into this new period. So be patient with yourself. Be compassionate with yourself, first and foremost. It will come.
Question: I’ve noticed with these lighter energies that a lot of people are simplifying their lives, releasing a lot of their material possessions. There are also a lot of people that are feeling called to move geographically right now. If we are creating everything around us where we are, why do we feel such a calling at times to move to a different location? Is it about where we are on the Earth and helping her? Could you offer insight into that?
Mary: Yes. There could be different reasons. Because you are becoming more of an energy being, you are drawn to where the energies are most harmonized with your energy, or where you’re most harmonized with the energies of that place and the other beings of that place. So there’s a natural movement towards that energetic resonance. That is a big part of it.
For some people it may also have to do with service and your life purpose, your spiritual work. You may be called to a certain area that’s more in need of your service or more supportive of that. So both are true. But it’s fundamentally about energies. And that is why there is movement going on, because people are realigning energetically.
Are there other questions?
(Silence for a period of time)
I hold you all in my sphere of love, in a great sphere of love and light. I encourage you to refresh yourselves in this love and light regularly, so that you can more and more live in this space with others. You have a wonderful future ahead. I bless you. I thank you. I celebrate with you. My heart is with you.
With my blessings, I leave you now.

What Happened on December 21st, 2012
From Lady Mary
Part 1 of a Message Given through Mercedes Kirkel
on January 6, 2013
Blessings to all who are gathered here, to all who will be receiving this at future times, to all beings everywhere who are open, who are moved to grow, to receive the light, to expand themselves, to be part of this wonderful shift that is happening in your world. I offer my blessings to all.
I am Lady Mary—Mother Mary to many of you. It is the same one.
I come to you today because this is a most beautiful time. It is a time in which you have been through much, many of you. And it is a time of wonderful new things coming in. Because I have such a special relationship with the beings of the Earth, I feel moved to speak to you at this time, to share with you and to try to help you in any way that I can about the time that you are in, this new time period. And so I begin and will do my best to talk about this.
Many of you were tuned in and very aware of the winter solstice that you just went through. Many of you heard many things about this being a very significant time, an important time. There was a wide range of what people were anticipating to happen at this time. Some thought it would be a time of hardship, of possible catastrophe, of possible ending of the world as you know it, figuratively or literally. Some thought that it would be a wonderful time, a transformative time, possibly the time when the Earth would shift into a higher state of reality and the people of the Earth would shift into a higher dimension. Some were not sure, some were open, some were cautious. There was a great spectrum of what people were anticipating.
Now you have moved through this time and some people are wondering what happened. Did anything happen? Some people are feeling quite sure that things did happen. Some people are perhaps feeling disappointed. Some people are relieved that the things they were anticipating did not happen. There is still a wide range of responses. So I would like to address this passage that you have just gone through.
To begin with I would like to say that this particular date was not standing in isolation. In some ways it was a center point that you were moving into, but that you have been moving into for a long period of time. So the changes that had been occurring didn’t just begin on December 21st. You have been leading up to them for many years. And they did not end on December 21st. They are continuing now.
Yet something did change at that time. It was an opening into a new portal of energy, which many of you felt. Some of you felt it as a lightening, a releasing from perhaps denser, more difficult energies that you’ve been experiencing. Some of you may have felt a certain level of purification, which is part of what can accompany moving into higher energies. Anything that is not fully matched to that energy, fully in harmony and in synch with that energy, can come up to be released. In that process of being released you will often experience the energy as it’s being released. So it can feel like you are going through a lower energy time, a difficult time, and it may be accompanied by various symptoms. Many of you are familiar with this. You often call it “ascension symptoms.” It is part of the process that you have been going through. So some of you may have experienced that, too, during this time, which may have come as a surprise.
Regardless of whether you experienced a lightening, or a more difficult time, or perhaps did not experience much of anything at all, it does not change that the energy has shifted. You are in the beginning phase of a lighter energy, which you may experience as lightness at the physical level, lightness at the energetic level, lightness at there actually being greater light in the world, lightness at the emotional level, lightness at the mind level. There are many things you might be experiencing. And you may be noticing that you feel different. It might have a subtle quality to it, but if you tune in you will notice that there is a different feeling. There is a sense of more light available to you in more easily accessible ways. This is a wonderful thing that your Earth has gone through, that your world has gone through, and that you have gone through.
Of course, how you use this will determine the way that it unfolds in the future. But in some ways you have already chosen your path as the Earth. You have chosen the path of greater light. You are coming out of a time of great darkness. You have chosen to leave that great darkness behind. You have chosen that the learning you received from this is complete, does not need to be repeated, does not need to be continued. You are moving into a time, a new age, of greater light. You will see the changes one by one, person by person, aspect by aspect. Of course, people will not be changing all at once. It will happen as a process. There may be some dramatic moments, but in general it will continue as a process. But you are going to see things getting easier, personally and collectively. That is a very wonderful thing.
You are going to start to realize your power to manifest the world you want, personally and collectively. You will wonder why you didn’t see it before, why you didn’t realize that this power was available to you. But you were involved in other forms of growth, other forms of learning. Now those forms are not necessary anymore and you can move forward.
You will see that it becomes easier to connect with people, to help other people, for other people to receive help, for you to receive help, for you to give help. The connection between all of you will become easier and stronger. The love that you have desired will start to become more literal in your world, more obvious, more manifest. These are all wonderful things that you are moving into.
The more people that move into this, the more that others will be helped to move into it. It is a tipping scale, where enough people are making this choice, enough people are living in this state, that it becomes much easier for the others who are in the process of choosing, have not yet chosen fully, to join you, to cross over, to create this new world together.
Not everything will be perfect immediately. It will take time. There will be things that will still be painful in your world, things that you identify with darkness, that you want to end. They will not immediately all disappear. But over time they will lessen, decrease, and eventually be gone. And you will be moving into a wonderful new age that your hearts have called in, that you all desire so much in your hearts.
So I come to reassure you of this and to support you in listening to yourself, in giving space to that part of yourself that may feel new, that may feel lighter, that may feel drawn to function in ways that you haven’t functioned before, that may be drawn to not function in ways that you’re familiar with, that seem necessary or even essential. Yet now you’re feeling a call to not do those things anymore. I support you in listening to that, in allowing that. You are giving birth to the new in yourself and in your world, and it will require change. You are fully up to it. You are strong, you are ready, and you are capable. This will be coming in.
Keep turned to the light. Be compassionate with those who are still drawn to aspects of darkness, but do not identify with them. Do not give energy to their draw to the darkness. Give love. Love them. Hold them in light. And show them your joy, your light, your brightness, your peace, your happiness, your heart space. Let your hearts be open and shown. It is safe to do this. Create a world that is about the heart. This will be a most wonderful world. This is your future. And I celebrate it with you.

Healing Trauma and the Consciousness of Nature
Part 2 of a Message from The Lord of Consciousness
Given through Mercedes Kirkel on August 13, 2012
Question: I have two dear friends that have come to me. I believe it’s because of my heart connection. They both are suffering from their war experiences in Viet Nam and holding tight to those stories. I want so much to be able to help them release that old story. Can you give me some insight into how to approach them?
The Lord of Consciousness: Yes. When people have a story they are holding onto, it is because there is some kind of emotion that has not been released. When it is a very traumatic story, it is often very traumatic emotion, great shocks that have been experienced that the beings do not know how to integrate and resolve. Talking and telling the story is an attempt to create this kind of resolution. It is often limited in its ability to achieve that, especially when it is a very powerful, strong experience.
There are a number of things that you can do to help. You can point the person towards the feelings that are behind the story, because that is what is trapped like ghosts within the person’s being—those feelings that they are still containing and have not felt the freedom or the safety to let them out. So that is one thing—to identify the feelings that are behind the story. That alone is a great support. If you are comfortable, you can invite the person to express or experience the feelings. But simply the identification alone will help tremendously. Giving it a name—words like horror, or shock, or whatever it is—and asking, “Is that what you felt?” or “Is that what you feel now?” can be extremely helpful.
There are two other things that can help. One is that beneath whatever feelings are there for the person, those feelings are always tied to something you might call “positive” that the person values. If you can identify the positive underneath the feeling, it is helpful. For example, in a war situation, the person might be feeling gut-wrenching pain over taking someone’s life because the positive is that they want to protect life, they want to support life. So with painful experiences, there’s a kind of duality in there. There’s the extremely painful emotion, but it’s tied to something beautiful, life-positive. If you can identify what’s underneath and hold both—hold the emotion and help the person to clarify what the positive was that that emotion is connected to—there is healing in that.
However, do not do this as a way to get out of painful feelings. Do not do this to suppress or push down the feelings, or to say, “Don’t feel that,” or “Yes, you feel that but really it was about this.” Do not make it an either-or. Hold both. “Yes, you have these feelings and they’re so strong, and it’s because of this positive thing that was blocked, that was not allowed to be the case.” Hold both at the same time, the painful feeling and the positive quality. That can be very helpful.
Then, when that is complete—and that may take a very long time to complete… It can happen in pieces, in stages. But you do not want to rush this. You need to give full space for that. When it feels like that is complete, then the last piece is the forgiveness piece. Most often what people are suffering is forgiveness of themselves. They have not forgiven themselves for what they engaged, what they experienced, what they participated in. This is something you can help people with.
Ask them what they need forgiveness for. Do they need to forgive others? Are they angry at others? Do they need to forgive them? What would they need to forgive them?
Do they need to forgive themselves?
Simply ask the question. Let them find the answer. If you have a strong intuition, you might suggest this thing or that thing, but only as a suggestion. Always turn it back to the person. Let them find it. They know. Their higher self knows what they need. But they may tremendously need support because it feels so overwhelming.
Is that helpful?
Questioner: Thank you. Yes.
The Lord of Consciousness: Always hold the person in love as you’re doing this. Always see them in their perfection. See the beautiful person, no matter what they did or others did. See them in their completeness, their wholeness, and their divinity. Do not use that to deny their pain. That is your work, as you are holding the container for them to fully express, and connect with, and own their pain.
Many people feel that the way to handle pain is to put it aside, move on, forget about it, let it go. Most of the time, this doesn’t work. Pain has a function. It is part of our healing. The way to most directly heal is to receive the gift of the pain. This is another thing that you can do, to ask them, “What is the gift of this pain? What has this pain brought to you that is a gift?” Until we receive the gift, it continues, because it’s for a purpose. It’s to help us. So rather than running away from the pain, trying to lose it, we need to receive the gift.
So it is very wonderful that these people have come to you. It is a sign that they are ready. They may not realize what they’re ready for or what they can do. But it is a sign. And it is a gift to you to help these people, as well.
Question: Can you speak to us about the consciousness of the mountains surrounding us in this region? [Santa Fe, New Mexico] What is the best way to connect with and amplify the message that that consciousness wants to bring forward?
The Lord of Consciousness: Mountains are a very strong aspect of the element of earth. They also hold a great deal of consciousness. Mountains have been understood throughout history as places of pilgrimage, places to receive spirit-messages from, because they are uniquely suited to connect you to earth and to consciousness, the sky-energy, at the same time. Part of receiving the gifts of mountains is to walk on the mountain, to hike, to be with the mountain physically. If you are able to do this with direct skin contact—bare feet, bare skin contact on the mountain, this is even stronger. Or perhaps a natural material, such as the Native Americans understood with leather, which carries the frequency of the mountain into your body. This is very valuable.
It is valuable to do ceremony, to honor the elements and to invite in your connection with spirit and spirit-beings. Fire, in particular, is valuable on mountains, the element of fire as part of your ceremony. And nighttime is also very strong on mountains.
Any natural feature that you bring your love, your devotion, your energy to, will respond. Mountains are very responsive. And so you engage your interaction with the mountain as a holy ceremony. You ask permission of the spirits to enter into this sacred space. You communicate with the spirits. You receive their messages. Listen to the trees. Let the trees guide you. Touch the trees. Receive the trees into your body, the trees’ energy, the trees’ wisdom. All the elements—the wind is especially strong in mountains and this carries the spirit. Be attuned and let the spirits guide you.
This is my recommendation.
[Silence for a time.]
Do you feel the spaciousness… the quiet… the vastness? These are the signs of consciousness. The depth… the sense of liberation… these are my gifts. And they are given in love.
With this, I have said enough for tonight. Blessings to all. I thank you for this time we have shared, this interchange.
Blessings.
