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.

Mary Magdalene: The Dark Night of the Soul
An Excerpt from
Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love by Mercedes Kirkel
Message from Mary Magdalene:
Beloved ~
Yes, I want to talk to you about the dark night of the soul. This is a very mysterious concept to many of you. Most of you have a place within you that you’re afraid of going, something that brings up too much pain. The dark night of the soul is about facing your fear and pain and going into it rather than avoiding it.
What happens when you do that? It is not what you fear. There is an initial period in which you feel your fear, feel your pain, whatever it is. There is often a feeling of expansion with this, since you usually have shrunk back or contracted away from the pain or fear. There is a sense of relaxing and opening as your feeling nature expands into your whole experience. At some point, often sooner than you would expect, a shift happens. At that point, your experience changes to one of trust and peace, perhaps a sense of being carried—as in carried by a river rather than fighting against the current.
What has happened is that you have connected with the beings of light that are there to support you, to carry you. The pain may or may not go away, but your experience of it is different because you are in the light. The light is stronger—and you are more attracted to it—than your pain. You have entered the River of Light, and it is now cleansing and guiding you.
Your job as humans is to stay in this River of Light. That is your true heart’s refuge and calling. It doesn’t take you away from life. It takes you into true life. This is the river that truly quenches our thirst.
All people eventually, sooner or later, come to the dark night of the soul. There may be more than one dark night, depending on the person’s design for their lifetime, the depth to which they let themselves go into their pain or fear, and the depth with which they connect with the River of Light. All connections with the River of Light are divine gifts that move us further in our path of growing in love and light.
With all my blessings,
I AM Mary Magdalene
Commentary from Mercedes Kirkel:
Mary’s discussion of the dark night of the soul continues her instructions from the previous transmission about turning to God when we’re in pain and asking for God’s help. Now, she gives us an actual step-by-step practice for how to connect with God through fully experiencing our fear and pain.
Mary acknowledges that the dark night of the soul is a mysterious concept for many people. She explains that most of us have a place within our being—some part of ourselves—that we don’t want to experience because it brings up too much pain. The dark night of the soul is about facing our fear and pain, about going into it rather than avoiding it. Most of us are afraid to open to our pain because we imagine doing so will invite in too much suffering. We may picture ourselves sinking in a quicksand of agony, possibly becoming so overwhelmed that we die of pain. These deep-seated fears activate our instinct for survival. But in reality, when we go into our pain, something very different occurs.
Mary tells us there’s an initial period of simply feeling the pain, which includes feeling the fear associated with it. And so we feel both our fear and our pain. As we continue opening to our feelings, we’ll experience a sense of expansion, a sense of relaxing and opening. Where before, out of fear, we contracted or shrank away from the pain, now the contraction begins to unwind and release as it is replaced by expansion, relaxation, and openness. We experience our feeling nature as it extends again into our whole being.
At some point in this process, we undergo a shift as we feel lifted out of our distress. Mary points out that this release often occurs sooner than we expect, countering our tendency to assume that we’re going to be stuck in misery without end. Even if the conviction that we will never get beyond the pain does arise, we can boost our faith by remembering that this state is temporary and absolutely will change. I have consistently found that the process works exactly as Mary describes. Even so, during the early stage of opening, I still notice my deep-seated belief that I’ll get lost in my anguish and be overwhelmed by suffering. This is why I find it invaluable to be aware that an integral part of the dark night of the soul is my initial assumption that my pain will last forever. Now, when that thought arises, I see it as a sign that the process is under way, and I continue to open, knowing that a shift will occur.
What is this shift? Mary describes it perfectly as a shift to trust and peace, perhaps a sense of being carried—as by a river—rather than fighting against the current. I find this description affects me viscerally. I can tangibly feel the transition from a somatic state of fear and contraction to one of trust and peace. I notice that my belly relaxes and my breathing drops lower in my body. My state of growing relaxation is deepened by the image of relaxing my fight against the current and allowing myself to be carried by the river. I feel a sense of lightness and ease, along with the experience of trust and peace.
Mary explains what has occurred: we have connected with beings of light who are literally supporting and carrying us. She calls this entering the River of Light, an experience that cleanses us of our fear and guides us. While the pain may or may not go away, we are changed because we are in the light, and the light is stronger than the darkness of our pain. As we are drawn to experience the light, our pain will inevitably recede, if not go away altogether.
I picture the original pain and accompanying fear as a pitch-black cave. The cave represents the dark night of the soul. When we choose to open to pain, we choose to enter into the shadows of the cavity. Stepping inside, we allow our consciousness to expand to the cavern’s full dimensions. We feel its cool, moist surfaces. We may still fear that the darkness and the unknown will overwhelm us, yet another part of us whispers that opening to the cave is the best option and urges us to trust the process. We begin to have a sense of letting go and relaxation as we release our resistance to experiencing whatever exists here. At a certain point, we’re drawn to the other side of the cave, which opens into a River of Light. We give ourselves to the river, experiencing a great depth of trust and peace. As we let ourselves be carried by the beings of light that form this river, we’re cleansed and guided to where we need to be. Our pain becomes more distant as the light of the river replaces the darkness of our fear.
The process Mary describes reminds me of Elisabeth Kübler- Ross’s model of the stages of grief that people experience in coming to terms with death. These stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—seem similar to Mary’s description of the first part of the dark night of the soul, where we expand into the cave of our fears and eventually come to acceptance. Mary’s elucidation of opening to the light reminds me of accounts of people at the edge of death who have seen angels or various manifestations of light and experienced great bliss and peace. Mary suggests that we can have these experiences not only at death, but during life as well.
In fact, Mary tells us that the River of Light takes us into “true life” and that our job as humans is to stay in the river. She’s not just talking about an isolated, one-time event. The River of Light is a state we can continue to experience. In so doing, she tells us, we realize our true heart’s refuge and calling, which “truly quenches our thirst.”
Just hearing Mary’s description stokes my longing for union with this river and for the place in my heart to which it connects me. I feel the trust and peace the river carries us to. It’s a place I know in my soul, and yet the path there still surprises me: that surrendering into pain leads to such beauty. I’m heartened by the awareness that each time I engage this process of letting go into pain, I’m strengthened in my ability to stay connected to the River of Light. Residing in this river has become my spiritual path.
I believe that opening fully into any moment will take us to the River of Light and the heart’s refuge. And yet, pain is a particular gift for supporting us to merge with our experience. It’s like an alarm that keeps going off to remind us that something’s not right. If we heed the warning, pain provides a unique form of help, guiding us all the way through to our very depths and beyond. However, our painful places are also the ones that most of us tend to avoid. Mary points to our avoidance of pain as the biggest stumbling block to uniting with God. I think that’s why she’s so insistent about focusing on pain in her communications. She sees we need it. Merging fully with our experience, to the point of total unity or oneness, is the way through to our next step in spiritual evolution. And because it’s a process of surrender, it’s a particularly Feminine path she’s bringing forth—for both men and women.
Mary makes it clear that, sooner or later, everyone will experience at least one dark night of the soul. She urges us to recognize it as a doorway and make good use of it. As her final words affirm, “All connections with the River of Light are divine gifts that move us further in our path of growing in love and light.”
OPENING TO PAIN
1. Notice you’re in pain.
2. Choose to fully experience and open to the pain.
3. Merge with the pain by relaxing and expanding into it.
4. Allow the pain to take you to Source (inner divine qualities).
5. Experience the shift into peace as you begin to flow with the River of Light.
6. Rest in connection to God.
7. Let God direct your actions.
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.

How To Make Use of the 12-12-12 Gateway
By Mercedes Kirkel
Tomorrow is 12-12-12. I see it as an opening of a doorway into stronger energies, leading up to 12-21-12. These energies offer a special opportunity for transformation, if we choose to make use of them in that way.
Many people are suggesting meditations and particular processes to engage on 12-12-12. If one of these resonate with you, I support you in doing that. However, it’s not necessary to follow someone else’s process. You have everything you need to fully make use of these special energies. Indeed, I strongly believe that part of the change that we’re in the midst of is the shift from the paradigm of leaders and followers into a co-creative world of self- and other-empowerment. You may still choose to follow someone else for a particular purpose, such as being part of an organized process that a group is engaging together. It’s just that you do this by choice, knowing that you have infinite choices, which includes the option of leading yourself in your own process.
If you feel moved to create your own form of consciously receiving and activating the energies of 12-12-12 for your highest good, here are my recommendations:
1. Relax. Create a clear space for yourself physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically. Set aside “busy-ness” and minor concerns that don’t need your immediate attention.
2. Focus. Set your intention for what you want to bring in for yourself and for the world. Some possible intentions might be:
- to live stably and continuously from your heart
- to open your third eye and higher mind
- to open the channel of communication with your higher self
- to shift into unity consciousness
- to move into the fourth dimension for yourself and all beings on Earth
- for peace, compassion, and higher consciousness to be manifested on Earth
- for the transition into the next stage of our spiritual evolution to be easeful and direct
3. Create sacred space. Set aside a specific time to receive the energies of this gateway and to allow yourself to be a vessel of transformation for your intentions. You may do this with others or by yourself.
4. Call in your guides, angels, or whatever beings support you spiritually. You can do this even if you don’t know who they are. Assume that you have beings supporting you for your highest good (which you do). Acknowledge them and ask for their help.
5. Express gratitude. This is an important step which opens you to receive. Express gratitude to your guides, to the specialness of the day, for your life and blessings, or for being present at this time to go through this great transformation.
6. Ask for what you want. Give voice to your intentions, for yourself and the world. It is best to do this out loud, as the frequency of your voice integrates all of your bodies in calling this forth.
7. Open to the energies. This may be a particular form of meditation that you do. Or it may be to simply be still and intend to receive. Breathing fully and openly will support your receptivity.
8. Give thanks. Whether you experience something or not, assume that you’ve received what is perfect for you. Give thanks for what you’ve received. Thank your guides for supporting you.
May 12-12-12 be a blessed and most wonderful day for you and for all!
What Will Happen on December 21, 2012?
by Mercedes Kirkel
When we crossed over into the month of December, I felt a sudden realization that 12-12-12 and 12-21-12 are almost here. Two questions played through my mind: How did we get here so quickly, almost without me noticing? And what is going to happen?
I’ve heard these same questions voiced from many others. And so I’d like to offer my thoughts in response.
I definitely feel a sense of time speeding up in my life. Over the last month in particular, I’ve made a conscious choice to do less altogether and to do more of what’s really important to me. In other words, as time gets faster my solution is to get slower, or really more essential—as in “living from essence.” I’m living more from my core, who I really am, and less from the periphery. I’m doing the things I really value with more intention and also more peace. And I’m trusting that what needs to get done is getting done, that I’ll be sustained in the midst of this however Spirit chooses.
I’m enjoying this greater surrender into Spirit. What’s happening has become too big for me to try to stay in charge. I’ve become humble, open, trusting.
I’m trusting my emotions more. I’m trusting my guidance, in all its forms. I’m trusting myself. And I’m trusting God.
I do not have an inside line on what’s going to happen in the future, including the dates people have targeted as significant. I was invited by The Sedona Journal of Emergence to be a contributor for their December double issue of predictions for the future. I declined, telling them that my guides don’t offer predictions. They offer help for us to create our own future, because they love us and, at the same time, respect our free choice. They hold the point of view that the future is not fixed. I agree with that.
I do believe that we’re on a path of ascension into higher consciousness, which will manifest outwardly as transformation into higher states of being. I doubt that this will happen overnight sometime this month, but I don’t rule it out as a possibility. What seems more likely to me is that this will happen gradually over a period of months or even years, but at an ever-increasing speed, until we reach a new state of balance at our next level of evolutionary growth.
I don’t think we’re moving into the end of the world or a period of cataclysmic destruction. I think we’re going through the end of an age, one in which we’ve dropped to a very low frequency at times and in certain arenas. Now we’re going through a birth process into a new epoch, which I am very excited and hopeful about.
I think it’s possible that this birthing process could include some “purification,” which might look like destruction and people transitioning out of this lifetime. That is one of the ways that growth and change occur, through the death-rebirth process. And for many of us, this brings up a very deep-seated fear of death, arising out of our survival instinct. This fear is one of the things that Mary Magdalene addressed in Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love:
You fear that death is the end, and you don’t want to “lose” your life. . . . You have this fear because you have a veil over your remembering. This is part of the process you agreed to in choosing to manifest in third-dimensional reality. In this reality, there is a veil over your remembering of all the lifetimes you have lived and of all the other realms you have been in between your lifetimes. There is a veil over your remembering of your greater self, which is so much larger than the part of you that you’re aware of in this third-dimensional reality. And there is a veil over your absolute connection to, your absolute inherence in, God. If you could remember all that and know it as your present-time and never-changing reality, you wouldn’t have the idea of death that so many of you have. You would see death as a change of clothes, like a snake shedding its skin. When you die, you’ve outgrown your physical circumstances and you’re ready to move on to something that’s going to serve your next phase of your soul’s journey. You might think of it as being something like getting a new car.
So we’re back to trust—trust in the greater process of life, greater than what we can currently see, or perhaps understand, or possibly even imagine. Maybe this kind of trust, in the midst of not knowing what’s happening, is what we experienced in our birth into this lifetime. Or maybe we’re being called to a new level of trust that we haven’t known before.
Mary Magdalene likens the transition we’re in the midst of to a human birth. She talks about the revolution that occurred in the modern birthing world when the natural birth movement took hold. I remember when I was pregnant and received training in preparation for childbirth. It was all about learning to relax in the midst of intensity and pain. Even though my natural reaction to extreme pain was to tense up and fight or resist it, there was a lot of motivation for me to learn what seemed to be a completely counter-intuitive response. I strongly believed that learning to relax would help make the birth easier and would provide the best and safest experience for my baby and for me.
I think the same is true for what we’re going through in birthing ourselves into the next age of our evolution. I think we’ll all be helped by relaxing into the process as much as we can, even if it seems unfamiliar or possibly overwhelming at times. I remember being told many years ago that God never gives us more than we can handle, but it may be more than we’re comfortable with.
The other thing I believe is happening, as part of the purification process in preparation for the new to come in, is that whatever yet remains for us to handle, complete, take responsibility for, or let go of from our past is coming up for us to deal with. This might be physical ailments or challenges, emotional issues, old ideas or beliefs, or things in our relationships. What I feel we’re being called to is love, forgiveness, and healing—taking full responsibility for all the circumstances in our life as coming out of our choices, letting go of the victim mentality of blaming others or outside forces for what’s happening with us, and instead reaping the lessons from those circumstances, with gratitude for what we’ve received.
I think it’s called growing up. I think we’re ready.

The Nature and Effects of Consciousness
Part 1 of a Message from The Lord of Consciousness
Given through Mercedes Kirkel on August 13, 2012
Blessings dear ones. I am the Lord of Consciousness. I have many names and I take many forms. You may call me by whatever is most comfortable for you. Perhaps you would call me the Divine Masculine. That is a name I am happy to use, if it is meaningful to you.
I am the force of consciousness. This is a principle that is starting to be understood more and that is a very good thing. Still, it is somewhat challenging for many to have a sense of what consciousness is. What is this consciousness?
In some ways it is easier to talk about what it is not. It is not the same as your thinking or your mind. Yet there is a relationship between consciousness and your mind. It is not the same as your world. Yet there is a relationship between consciousness and your world.
In some ways, the opposite of what I am saying is also true. It is also true that consciousness is the same as your world, which would include your mind—that there is only consciousness and that all the things you identify as your world, or particular objects, or beings, or whatever you may identify is simply consciousness. There is nothing but consciousness. And that is true.
It is not an easy thing to describe or define. It goes beyond this world. Yet you know it, at some level, in this world. And it is very much a part of what you are calling the ascension process, because this ascension process is about connecting with higher levels of consciousness.
Some have used the metaphor of a movie, that everything that is happening is a movie. Your world is somewhat like a movie that you are seeing. Consciousness is the space the movie is occurring in and the awareness, the intelligence that is creating the movie. For most of your life and most of your time on earth, especially that you have been aware of, the movie that has been created has been the third-dimensional movie. This is what many of you call reality.
But—to continue this metaphor—in some ways, your reality is no more real than the movie that you watch in a movie theater, which often seems very real while you’re watching it. You forget that it is just a movie. And so it is with your reality.
But there is a slight trick to this, which is that it also is real, because it is consciousness and consciousness is real. The manifestation aspect of consciousness is sometimes referred to as the Mother, the Mother as creator, the Divine Mother, the Divine Feminine, just as you have a relationship with Mother Earth. You could see the Feminine principle as the principle of manifestation, and the Masculine principle as the principle of consciousness. In truth, we are not different. We are the same. This is where the understanding comes from that you are always creating your reality. It is because you are creating it from consciousness, in consciousness, and as consciousness.
This is not something that is grasped through the mind. It is grasped through your beingness. But, as I said earlier, it affects the mind. Depending on your state of consciousness, you will have a different experience through your mind. Your thoughts will be different. Your ideas will be different. Your understanding and impressions of what you call reality will be different. These are shaped by your consciousness. It is in consciousness that all things are unified. If there is only consciousness, you are connected to all, always. This is one of the beautiful aspects of the ascension process: As you grow in consciousness—in your connection to and awareness of consciousness—you affect all of manifestation through consciousness. So you have great power—much, much more than most of you have ever realized—in consciousness.
At the third dimension there tends to be a struggle, in some ways, between consciousness and manifestation. It feels like they are different and there is a very strong pull towards manifestation. As many of you are experiencing the ascension process, there is a sense of lightening up of this pull of the material world. This is often experienced as a relief. While that pull is very strong, it is not necessarily pleasurable. Much of the time it is painful or difficult. Yet, at the third dimension, it is not easy to break free of this. It is a gift to do so, and you are being helped, also. There are many who are helping you from the higher dimensions to remember yourself as a higher-dimensional being; to remember that there is more than this third-dimensional reality, this manifestation; and to help you, through love and the great law of attraction, to remember this beauty of the higher dimensions. It is like remembering a beautiful smell of a rose or the sweet strain of celestial music. It reminds you, and distracts you, and calls you with a gentleness that is more powerful than this pull of physicality.
It is not that you have to give up anything. You do not have to give up the physical. This is a natural process. You simply are moved in this direction, and it happens naturally and, in many ways, easefully. There may be some challenges, some discomforts, as with many growth processes. But you are strong and will move through these. The more that you move through these, the stronger you become; the more that you are freed up to allow this higher frequency of consciousness to create your life; the more easeful this process becomes; and the more strong you become. You also generally become happier, more joyful. It is not, perhaps, the kind of joy that you would have identified with at a more third-dimensional, physical level. It is an inner joy, the joy of light, the joy of love, which often comes in quiet forms, in peaceful ways of deep fulfillment.
Consciousness is attractive. It is why you have always been drawn to teachers, sages, gurus, awakened beings—because there is great attractiveness in the force of their higher level of consciousness, their greater openness to higher frequencies of consciousness. As you grow in consciousness, you will become more attractive to others. It is inevitable. This process of growing in consciousness is inevitable. It is good that you are talking about supporting each other in this process, supporting each other in a conscious way with those others who share a level of dedication to this ascension process. But beyond that, you are sharing your support with all beings, regardless of their conscious participation in this process or not. That is very important. It is wonderful that you are feeling the call to that kind of sharing and responding.
I believe that is all that need to say at this time. As you will see, as you grow in consciousness, the urge to speak generally diminishes. When you do speak, you will be quite brilliant.
And so I feel complete.
Blessings to all.

A Vision of Spiritual Community
by Mercedes Kirkel
image courtesy of www.karunaarts.com
I want to be part of a spiritual community that’s a living sphere of Love and Consciousness, a field of energy that’s a blessing for all who enter into it. It will be a place for people to experience the wholeness of Spirit manifesting in life, giving everyone inspiration, guidance, and joy.
I envision a shared value and dedication amongst the participants to deep and full spiritual living, which I describe as Seven Chakra-TantraTM.
Seven-Chakra Tantra includes:
First Chakra (root chakra) ~ Having healthy and strong bodies (yoga & exercise, natural diet, being connected to Earth, natural healing modalities); growing organic food and living sustainably in relationship to Earth; and beautifying and honoring the Earth through art, landscape, and ritual.
Second Chakra (emotional/sexual center) ~ Valuing and expressing our emotions, energy, and sexuality to enrich life; living our spirituality through our relationships; raising children holistically; healing emotional wounds from our past; and engaging our Spirit-inspired passion.
Third Chakra (solar plexus) ~ Power-sharing and partnership cooperation; living our individual and collective life-purpose; maintaining the intention to bring love and consciousness in all our interactions and the will to align our actions with that intention; living as conscious manifestors for the highest good of all.
Fourth Chakra (heart) ~ Living on the basis of heart-connection and love, through giving & receiving life in words, actions, and touch; serving the manifestation of light in the world; following our spiritual path; and practicing abundance-consciousness.
5th Chakra (throat) ~ Transparent communication, speaking the truth, and expressing gratitude; bringing life-serving creativity to all circumstances; and spiritual expression through the arts and beauty (music, dance, visual arts, theatre, writing, and healing arts).
Sixth Chakra (third eye) ~ Connection to the transcendental through meditation and prayer; maintaining conscious connection with the Divine in all moments; and connecting with our higher self, Spirit-guides, and beings of higher realms through intuition, insight, telepathy or inner knowing, inner vision, inner hearing, and inner sentience.
Seventh Chakra (crown) ~ Receiving and transmitting divine light; living our unity with the Divine, ourselves, and all of life; manifesting unity-consciousness in relationship with others; connecting with and growing into higher dimensions of being; and living on the basis of joy.
I envision a residential community and spiritual center dedicated to living Seven Chakra Tantra on 15-50 acres of beautiful, private, quiet, fertile land. The land will have mature, food-producing trees, gardens, communal structures (including a large gathering space and a communal kitchen-dining area), living spaces for 12-24 adults plus children, and retreat facilities.
Q. Will the Spiritual Community be a non-profit or profit organization?
A. The structure could be profit or non-profit, depending on what would best support the community vision.
Q. Will it be solely owned, a partnership, or community owned?
A. It will be a combination, where residents own their structures and some other entity owns the communal portions.
Q. Where will the community be located?
A. The founding members will determine the location, based on what seems most supportive to the vision and all involved.
Q. How will the community be funded?
A. I believe that Spirit will provide guidance in manifesting the resources we need, as we are ready.
Q. What kind of people are you looking for?
A. People who are inspired by this vision and want to put their life-energy into creating it with others.

Mary Magdalene: Balancing the Masculine and Feminine
Received through Mercedes Kirkel
[Note: This is Part 2 of a channeled message that Mary Magdalene gave at a gathering in honor of her feast day on July 22nd, 2012.]
What is in your heart?” What is it that you would like me to help you with, that you would like to hear from me?
Question: I would like to know about our children. Our children are being bombarded with so many left-brained structures and technology, which have become almost an appendage, like the cell phone. I would like to hear what you have to say about this in reference to the heart.
Mary Magdalene: The children who have come in, for quite some time now, are very remarkable beings. They have come from many places of the universe and beyond, and have responded to the call to be here at this amazing time of transformation and transition. Many of them are quite advanced in their souls and in their development. In some ways your technology and your left-brained thinking is a game for them, it is an entertainment, because they are capable of so much more. They are working on many levels, many of them. The one that you might see is not all that is going on. So you do not need to be concerned about the children. The children are here to help you and they are well prepared for this.
They are part of the network that has allowed this transformation to come through. The frequencies that they are holding, the level of light that they resonate with is quite high. They are working at other levels that you may not be aware of or notice. It may not be the same as the work that you are doing. But they are doing their work very well and they are well positioned. And that is part of what has allowed everything to come into place that needed to be here for this time.
So celebrate your children. Allow them to lead. Allow them to show you their remarkable talents. Do not be concerned.
Question: Can you speak to us about economic injustice, knowing there is more than enough for everyone to thrive on the planet, but there are yet great imbalances due to greed. Can you share with us the changes that are afoot in terms galactic consciousness?
Mary Magdalene: Your economics is simply a reflection of your relationship to power. It is something that many came into this realm to explore, to learn about, and to experience what is possible with power and what happens when there are different arrangements, different structures of power—how does it feel, how does it work, what are the end results, the repercussions. In some ways, and many are aware of this, you might say that the beings on Earth have gotten a bit off track for a period of time. This is one of the dangers of coming into a realm like this. Because it is a realm of such gross vibration or frequency. And by gross, I mean slow, that the vibration level is slow here compared to many, many other places. So the consciousness adapts to this realm and to this frequency, and you have what you all have experienced and known for a very long time of third-dimensional consciousness. In that consciousness, there is forgetting of the higher dimensions and the higher levels of consciousness.
So this exploration that has been going on for a long time in your world of power has somewhat gotten detoured because the beings involved have forgotten their own consciousness that could have extricated them from it and extricated your world from it. As a result, you have experienced many things that have been painful for many people, including the withholding of resources or the taking of resources by select groups or select beings and withholding it from others. There has always been enough for everyone. Yet this has not been what the experience of most people on Earth has been. In order to extricate yourself from this seeming ceiling of consciousness, where you have been exploring the different aspects of power in all these ways, it is requiring your power structures and your economics to get to a rather extreme place. And truly, you have gotten to a rather extreme place.
This is a realm of free choice. It was created that way and it is not something that other beings choose to interfere with. So it must be the choice of beings on Earth to change the structures, the dynamics. What supports you in doing this is for it to get to this extreme level, where so many people are feeling the effects, and so many people are noticing that so many people are feeling the effects. People are starting to wake up, starting to question, “Why, are we doing this? Why, if so many people are being hurt, being challenged by this, why are we accepting it? Why are we not changing it?” And that, indeed, is the beginning of the change, and you are seeing it.
This is a time when your economic systems are part of the change that will happen. It has to do with the Divine Feminine coming in, for the Divine Feminine would not withhold from others. Not that the Divine Masculine would do that, per se. It is that the Divine Masculine has attention on other things. And power/strength is one of those things. So when the Divine Masculine is not in union with the Divine Feminine, you see the results along the lines that have occurred in your Earth realm, where there has been much play of power without the force of love, compassion, caring for all. That is part of what is changing.
We at the higher levels are supporting this change very much. It must happen in consciousness first. So that is the place where we are beginning. We are working with each individual’s consciousness who is open to a change, to seeing the possibilities for living in a very different way, where everyone is taken care of and everyone is cared for.
Even your system of money is relatively unique to the Earth. There are very few places that use money. And you see the results of what money allows. It allows people to hoard and withhold and compete and even battle for what they think is valuable.
The consciousness is growing, where people are saying, “No, money is not what is important. It is not what is valuable. It is not what gives us our value. In truth, we give it value, if we choose. And it has not served us well in many, many ways.” So yes, you are seeing the beginning of a huge change. You might call it a revolution. It is in consciousness, first and always. As your consciousness changes, so will your world. Your consciousness is creating your world.
It is through love, it is through caring about all, it is through this process of fully incarnating the Divine Feminine in union with the Divine Masculine, that this change will take place. There are many ways that it can happen. We are supporting, as much as possible, that it will happen in a peaceful way, in an easeful way. That would be most optimal. Of course, that always is up to you, individually and as a group. But it all begins with consciousness. It all begins with changing your consciousness. Through that you begin to change who you are, what you do, your actions.
Each of you has tremendous power. Do not ever assume, “Oh, I can’t do anything. This is so huge. It’s so beyond me. The economy is this enormous thing that happens at the national level and the international level, and what can I do? I’m just one person with no power.” This is not true. You are the one who empowers the whole system, always. Each one of you is that one. Each one of you is huge and your choices absolutely matter.
But the choice, first and foremost, is in your heart. You must choose in your heart that you cannot accept this any longer and you choose something new. It will change and it will manifest.
Question: The moon, the satellite and companion of our Earth, has always been considered a representative of the Divine Feminine, as the sun is the Divine Masculine. But recently it has come to light that the moon is hollow and it is artificial intelligence. It was placed there, in its orbit, by beings from another dimension. I wanted to know what Mary Magdalene has to say about the moon and the Divine Feminine.
Mary Magdalene: The moon has the quality of a mirror. It has mirrored back the Feminine to the Feminine on Earth. The strongest manifestation of the Feminine on Earth is truly the Earth herself. And the moon has been the mirror—the mirror of the sun and the radiance of the sun. But it has also been the mirror of the Feminine on Earth.
You see, the Feminine has been displaced from the Earth for a very long time. The Feminine has not been welcomed on the Earth, which is a very sad thing. Of course, this has not been true of every person, every culture. But in general, there has been more and more of a ban, this holding down in darkness of the Feminine. And so the moon has taken up that place of being a focus for the Feminine that was not welcomed upon the Earth.
Truly, nothing is Masculine or Feminine, per se, because the Feminine and the Masculine love each other and are drawn to each other like magnets. So when you see something as Masculine or you see something as Feminine, it’s what is coming to the fore. It is what is connecting with you in that moment. But everything contains both. Perhaps not fully actualized. But the Feminine and the Masculine are inextricably connected to each other. And this is why it is so painful when one is held back, suppressed, because it is not the movement of this world at all for that to be so.
So it is not in conflict that the moon has been the refuge of the Feminine for a very long time and that there has also been Masculine influence and affect and interaction upon the moon. Any body, any being that is not in its wholeness will gravitate towards its opposite in time, over time, because that is the nature of the Divine. The Divine is in union, the Masculine and the Feminine. All that exists is in that form, in that model. It is like the holographic nature that your scientists have discovered—the whole is in everything.
You have much that you will learn about so many things in your world. You have viewed things as best you could, as best you were able to understand them for a very long time. You will be amazed what you are going to be learning in the not-too-distant future. Allow these new things that come to you to integrate with the old. Feel into what is true for yourself, what you resonate with. Do not take it on someone else’s say so. Find your truth. But know that there will be much being revealed in the future—about your world, about yourself, about so many things. Do not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
There are always kernels of truth. For centuries, I have been called a prostitute. Now it is being said I was not a prostitute. But there was a kernel of truth in that. It was not understood. It was not communicated in truth, in wholeness. But there was a seed truth to that because I was a priestess of the Divine Feminine. I was a sacred priestess and I practiced Sacred Sexuality of the Goddess. And that has often been called prostitution, or whatever word you have for it, by some. It was not what many thought. It was not the connotation that many people ascribe to the term “prostitute.” But there was seed truth in that. I was bringing forth the Divine Feminine practice, a very, very sacred, most holy experience of divine union in human form through sexuality. And I was engaging this with Yeshua. We both were engaged in this. Your world and your power structure were not ready to acknowledge this. And so they did what they did. They told the stories, turned it into this or that. But there was seed truth in there. And now it is starting to become accepted more and more that Yeshua I were married, which of course for many people goes with the understanding that we engaged in sexuality in human form, that there were children that were created out of this union. But there is even more to it than that, much more, which is just starting to enter into the consciousness of so many.
So do not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Let this process reveal itself to you; let your mind be open; call upon your highest understanding, insight, and wisdom and you will come to know much. There is much that may seem quite different than you understood in the past.
Question [from a man]: I am told that it’s important that each man’s heart opens. How can I be of assistance to other men in opening to the Divine Feminine?
Mary Magdalene: The primary way that you will help others is through your being, what you are founded in in your being, and what you are living and modeling to others. The question that so many men have, the fear that they have, is that the Divine Feminine coming forth will mean that the Divine Masculine, or men—in whatever form that they are manifestations of the Masculine—are going to be suppressed, punished. There is fear that the Feminine and women will be angry at men, or at the least will want to be in the power position over men, as has happened so much in the past relative to men and women, with men being in the power position. But this is not what is meant to happen at all.
The greatest service you can do to others is to shine your strength as a man, as the Divine Masculine, and to embrace the Feminine—within yourself, but especially with women. Be a demonstration that you, in your Masculine, will be supported as you support women.
Also, it is important for men to reach out to other men. In doing so, they are accessing their own inner Feminine. For men have so often suffered being in competition with each other, feeling threatened by each other. Many men are afraid to let down their guard, afraid that if they become vulnerable, open, they will lose in the great game of competition, they will be taken advantage of. So it takes skill, as a man, to reach out to other men and to create a different kind of connection with them that is not founded in competition, that is founded in care for that man and that man’s wellbeing, founded in the understanding that it feeds you to support another man, and that you are suffering the lack of that quality of connection as much as the other.
This is not something that can be, for the most part, done through talk or even ideas. It is something that must be lived. One of the things that will help is if you are able to change the form in which you live. Right now, most people live very separately. Many people live entirely separately, all by themselves. But if they don’t live all by themselves, they usually only live with their partner, sometimes with children, or occasionally another family member, perhaps an aging parent, or another family member. But this is not actually the most supportive form. It is much more supportive for you to be living in ways where men are close to other men, women are close to other women, and you are supporting each other. If you are able to change the form in which you live, this kind of transformation will happen much more quickly. The foundation for trust will be laid and it will start to grow. That is what it will really require. Many men trust women more than they trust other men. This must change and will change. If you want to support this change, those are the arenas that are most in need of help.
I love you all so much. I thank you for all that you do, the courage that you bring, the commitment and dedication to your spiritual growth, the transformation that is underway and that you are all supporting in your world. It is such a beautiful thing. I thank you so much. And I thank you for this time. I thank you for this celebration.
I love you. I bless you.
I AM Mary Magdalene.

Was Mary Magdalene Jesus’ Wife? New Harvard findings corroborate information given to author Mercedes Kirkel.
A Harvard divinity professor has made front-page news with the announcement of a newly revealed papyrus, offering fresh evidence that Jesus may have been married. The fragments of text on the fourth century paper include Jesus speaking the words “my wife” and “Mary Magdalene” in Coptic, an Egyptian language. This revelation is no surprise to Mercedes Kirkel, Santa Fe resident and author of the newly released book Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love, in which Mary Magdalene tells about her life and relationship with Jesus.
“In the summer of 2010, I had the incredible blessing of receiving twenty-five messages from Mary Magdalene over the course of a month,” stated Kirkel. “In one of the messages, Mary described her bond to Jesus as holy husband and wife. She said they were both prepared for their relationship through their spiritual training in various sacred traditions. This included instruction in sacred sexuality, which Mary explained was ‘a process of transforming our bodies into light and love, in service to our destinies.’”
Mary also reveals in the book that both she and Jesus knew it would be 2000 years before humanity was ready to hear her story and receive her in her role as teacher and embodiment of the Divine Feminine. Throughout her messages, Mary emphasized the importance of both men and women understanding and strengthening their own Feminine, through changing the way they relate to their bodies, sexuality, and emotions, along with releasing limitations in their thinking. Her focused instruction in these arenas is offered as a means to open the heart, so that “the marriage of the sacred heart and sacred mind can occur.” According to Kirkel, “This is the marriage that Mary is most passionate about, just as Jesus’ teaching was all about us and our spiritual transformation.”
Authors Stuart Wilson and Joanna Prentis (Power of the Magdalene and The Magdalene Version) have said, “It is clear to us that Mary’s words contained in Mary Magdalene Beckons are part of a pure transmission of her teaching that is now being restored to the world. If you want to hear the real voice of Mary Magdalene, we recommend . . . this book.”
Mary Magdalene Beckons is available through Amazon U.S. and Europe and through the website www.marymagdalenebeckons.com. It will be available in local bookstores in October. The website also contains a video of Kirkel telling the story of how Mary Magdalene began coming to her.

Crossing Over Into the Light-Realm
I’ve experienced what feels like a miracle in my life. Two weeks ago my dad was admitted to the hospital with an infection that had gone into his bloodstream. As we have a number of times over the past half year, we thought this may very well be the end and prepared ourselves. But after a few days, he started to rally yet again.
As he began to “rejoin our world,” he was initially quite confused and his connection to this realm seemed tenuous. When I walked into his room, he looked at me with amazement and said, “I can’t believe you’re here. I never expected to see you.” I’m not sure who he thought I was, as I’ve been visiting him regularly. But it didn’t matter to me. I was delighted to be able to interact and talk with him. And he was so filled with love and light, it was a joy and an honor to be with him.
At one point he apologized for not being able to remember much. I reassured him, saying, “It’s not what you remember or think that matters. What matters is your heart and the love you feel.” At that point, he looked over my shoulder and seemed to be seeing something very profound. I wondered if he was having a vision. In fact, he was, but not the kind I was thinking of. I turned to see what he was looking at and realized it was the white board on the wall with all his medical information on it. Then he said to me, “Do you see that board? To me, it’s a love board.”
I walked over to the board and wrote, “I love you,” and signed my name. He seemed extremely pleased as he beamed with a wide smile. Then he laughed because underneath my message was a reminder to the nurses that he couldn’t feed himself. So the whole communication read: “I love you. Mercedes. Please feed me.”
The next day he was more lucid, but still in an exalted state. He was tracking everything going on around him with great interest and his response to all he observed was wonder and awe. As I was standing beside his bed, he asked me to turn around. I wasn’t sure why he requested that, thinking maybe he wanted to see what my clothes looked like from the back. As I turned around, he pointed out the window, and said, “Isn’t that beautiful?” I looked outside to a typical downtown Albuquerque city scene of roads, traffic, buildings, and a small patch of grass with a couple of trees. He continued, “Isn’t that building beautiful? And look at those clouds!”
I shifted into seeing what he was seeing. I wouldn’t have noticed it normally, in the midst of my busyness or focusing on whatever I was engaged in. But there was a certain beauty to the building, and certainly to the clouds. I started to reflect on the extraordinariness that all the things in our world—which I so easily take for granted—even exist. And I felt myself joining my father in his transformed state.
Later the nurse came in and attended to him. She emptied his catheter into the toilet and then flushed the contents down. He immediately wanted to know what that sound was. We told him it was the toilet flushing and he said with amazement, “Imagine that.” The nurse and I smiled at each other, each of us feeling touched and lifted up by his innocent marveling at what for us was a mundane experience.
My father has continued to recover, so quickly that even the hospital staff were surprised. His will to live continues to astound us all. And the silver lining to the whole event is that he was discharged to the same skilled nursing facility where his wife was recovering from her back surgery. For the first time since he was admitted to an assisted living facility six months ago, they’re living under the same roof. I can’t tell you the joy I saw in both their faces as she walked into his room the first evening to spend time together before they both went to sleep.
I already believe in miracles, so I didn’t need any convincing that I was witnessing one. But I feel incredibly blessed to have been so closely involved in the whole process, watching it unfold, seeing how my mind had no idea what was really going on, and feeling my heart so moved by the beauty I was witnessing. For the past six months, as my dad has seemed so close to dying so many times, I’ve often wondered what’s keeping him here. Why hasn’t he chosen to let go and move on? After experiencing these most recent events, a new thought came to me. Perhaps my dad isn’t waiting to cross over and meet with the angels. Perhaps he’s decided to start his transformation into the light-realm here and now. And in that, he continues to be my teacher, as he has been for so long.
