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

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

MARY MAGDALENE: Responding to Challenge
Part 1 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On October 3, 2013
Blessings beloved ones,
This is Mary Magdalene, here with you again. I am so happy to have this opportunity to communicate with people and to answer people’s questions. As you know, it is my great, great passion to help people in their spiritual growth. The truth is that your spiritual growth is reflected in all the parts of your life. So if there is any part of your life in which you are having a challenge or wanting help with, that is actually part of your spiritual path and your spiritual growth. Those are all arenas in which I love to offer help, to bring my blessing and my point of view forth to support all of you.
As I have said before, you are at a wonderful moment right now. You’re on the precipice of great change, great growth. I think many of you are already seeing the signs in your world that this is so. Some of those signs feel wonderful and beautiful. Your life may seem more blessed, more easy. Things may be flowing in a more beautiful way, where it feels like you’re more connected to Spirit, more in the flow of life, and doing the work you came to do.
Some of the symptoms of the change may not seem so easy. It may seem that things are happening that are more challenging. Things may be coming up in parts of your life that you thought you already dealt with. Or things may be coming up that you never experienced before—difficulties, problems, challenges. This is part of the preparation for the change that is happening. You’re being given the opportunity to purify any blocks that remain. Some of them may not even be from this lifetime. Some of them may be from previous lifetimes. Some of them may be from earlier times in this life. Some of them may be things that you’ve been dealing with, which seem to be intensified or even getting more difficult.
You might relate this to what sometimes happens when you’re physically unwell—when you have some kind of illness or even a disease. The healing path can take a course where things seem to get worse before they get better. Oftentimes, what’s actually happening is that things that have been buried at a deep level are coming to the surface to be released. But in coming to the surface, you experience them more directly, more strongly, more powerfully. So you may have the sense, “What’s going on? My life seems to be harder, more difficult, getting worse.” I hope it is helpful to hear my perspective—that this can be part of the process of change, growth, and opening to the new, which really will be more wonderful and more easeful.
As much as you can, have trust and faith. Know that your life is being guided. Do the things that you know how to do to support yourself in the midst of such challenges. You may need to do certain things more than you’re used to. You may need to have more sleep. You may need to nurture yourself more. You may need to be more careful about the diet you’re eating. You may be more sensitive to things that didn’t affect you in the past, but now they are. Perhaps you’re more sensitive to people’s energies. Perhaps you need to be more conscious of the people you’re spending time with and the energy that you’re bringing into your world and reality. There are many levels to this. Hopefully most of you are aware of what things help you and what things are not supportive. Take steps to support yourself if you are experiencing more challenge. I hope this is helpful to all of you.
I want to say that, from my perspective, things are moving forward. You are progressing in this transition. I am very happy about that. Many of the beings at the higher levels want this progress and change for you, support you in this, and celebrate the transition that is happening.
Just as you may be having the experience of things in your personal life seeming to be more difficult or getting worse, this also may happen at the larger scale of your society, or your culture, or even worldwide. There may be difficulties in the political realm, or socially, or you may have experiences of challenging natural phenomena, or manmade phenomena such as technology that’s not working. There are many different ways this might appear. But it might be larger than just your individual life or people’s individual circumstances. It might be group situations that seem to be getting more challenging. This is also part of the process.
What you can do in these circumstances, first and foremost, is to support yourself in maintaining your center. Stay in the light yourself and do whatever you need to do to support the light within yourself. Then, radiate light and love to the larger circumstance. Bring your prayers, light, and blessing to these circumstances. These are the most important things. Out of that, yes, there may be practical steps and actions that you are to take, as well. But these are always secondary. The primary is through blessing, prayer, light, and love. I support you in remembering this and bringing this to your world, as best you can.

I Have Been Loved
By Mercedes Kirkel
My dad has dementia. For the last three, years I’ve watched him slowly decline. Yet our connection is as strong and beautiful as ever—even more so in some ways. It’s as though all the peripheral layers of our relationship, along with all the “stuff” of those layers, have been peeled away. What’s left is our huge heart connection to each other.
A couple of weeks ago, at the end of my visit with him, I told him it was time for me to leave. He got very sad, as he usually does. Then I remembered I had something I wanted to tell him. It was something that had come to me earlier in the day as I was driving to see him. For some reason, I started thinking about my time with my dad when I was young. For most of my life, I’ve considered my dad a workaholic during my growing up years and an absentee father. But as I was in the car driving, I started to think about all the ways my dad was there for me and all the ways he did show his love. I realized I’d never acknowledged him for that. I made a commitment to myself to do that during this visit.
So there we were, near the door of his assisted living home, and I reconnected with what I wanted to tell him, feeling incredibly grateful that I’d remembered. I knelt down to his level (he’s in a wheelchair), looked in his eyes, and thanked him for all the things he’s done for me, especially in my early life. I acknowledged him for working so hard to support me and our family, and what a good job he did of that. I thanked him for providing me with food, clothes, a home, music and dance lessons, putting me through college, and so much more. I told him again how much I love him and what a great dad he’s been to me. He puffed up with pride, and thanked me, and got very happy.
There was another resident of his home sitting nearby, a Native American man who’s normally very quiet. After hearing me shower my dad with gratitude, he spoke right up, telling about his dad, how he’d been in the military and all the jobs he’d had. It was so beautiful, my heart was swelling even more. I responded, saying that my dad had been in the military, too (which I know my dad is still very proud of).
Then my dad took on his loving dad role, saying, “OK, that’s enough. It’s time for you to go now. Have a safe drive home.” I’m starting to cry even as I write this, feeling how much I love him and how loved I feel by him.
I’m so glad I’ve gotten to this place, where I really feel how much I’ve been loved, in so many ways, in so many relationships. It was completely wonderful to tell my father all the ways that he, in particular, contributed to this knowingness within me—that I am loved, that I have always been loved. Even if he wasn’t “perfect” in the ways I wanted, I have been loved.

A Powerful Reminder To Love
By Mercedes Kirkel
A dear friend of mine recently went through the unexpected death of her husband. I did a life-coaching session with her to help her release the trauma she experienced around her loss. During the session, she had an interaction with Mother Mary, which she didn’t fully understand at the time. Later, after listening to my radio show [The Magdalene Hour With Mercedes Kirkel], my friend wrote me this email, sharing the exciting and deeply meaningful breakthrough she’d had. With her generous permission, I share her letter below, because it’s filled with wisdom for all of us. I hope you find it as valuable and moving as I did.
I really enjoyed your radio show. At the end something interesting happened. Do you remember when we did the trauma work and Mary handed me a white, glowing, throbbing ball? I experienced it as a cross between a baby and a heart, and I tucked it into my own heart.
I asked Mary a couple times what it was, but didn’t get an answer. Then right at the very end of your radio show I suddenly understood. She had handed me my pain. The white ball was my pain—that was her gift to carry in my heart.
I thought more about the pain and what exactly it is. I realized it’s that I got disconnected from the love in my marriage. In being married for thirty-five years to a man I loved, I let myself slip out of awareness and forgot to a large degree how much I loved him. I mean I always knew it, but it was dialed way down in the background. I was much more aware of irritation, annoyance, anger, fear, judgment, boredom, etc., than of the profound love I had for him. And I think he did the same with me.
We both fell into a kind of shyness around each other about expressing our love often and out loud, which is sort of strange, but I think it’s common. I think there can be a kind of shyness when two lives are so intimately wound and you talk about every practical matter under the sun. It gets hard to switch into a mode where you’re expressing your deep passionate love. It’s almost like it’s embarrassing or somehow inappropriate. I think it’s much easier in part-time, distant, semi-fantasy relationships—like the ones we both had in the past—to let the passion flow freely.
So the love between us got blocked and semi-buried, until the searing pain of his loss brought it back to the surface. Since he’s not here anymore, I don’t get the chance to heal the pain with him in this lifetime—not in the same way as if he were still on earth—which is another aspect of the pain. It makes sense now that the pain is my gift from Mary. If I can carry it, and continue to feel it, and stay aware of it, I have a chance to remember to stay aware of love in my life—not just for him, but for everyone I love. I have a chance to let people know how much I love them, to drop the inhibition, to remind them and myself that I love them, and not let things go unsaid or partially said.
What Yeshua said in your recent channeling about God’s love in relationships feels very powerful for me right now. When I blocked my love for my husband, I blocked God’s love coming through each of us to the other. It’s similar to what you said on your radio show that by doubting you were channeling Mary Magdalene, you were doubting God. I still wish my husband could have lived, but if he had I would most likely have continued on the same path of blocked love.
I know it’s way too soon, but I want so much to have another chance at a love partnership in this lifetime—a chance to keep love in the forefront instead of taking it for granted, forgetting it, letting it get overshadowed by day-to-day concerns, habits, irritations. A chance to stay awake in it.
I send love to you. Thanks for doing what you do.

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

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

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

MARY MAGDALENE: What Is Most Critical At This Time
Part 1 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On September 5, 2013
Hello everyone,
This is Mary Magdalene. Thank you to all of you who are listening and all of you who will be receiving this message in the future. I am so very happy to connect with all of you.
I wish to say a little bit about myself at this point. Some of you may already know this and some of you may be less familiar with what I’m about to share. I feel like it’s important to begin from this base of understanding about me and what I am bringing through at this time.
Many of you are familiar with me as a person who was recorded in the Bible as one of the followers of Jesus. My preferred way to refer to Jesus is through the name Yeshua, which is his Aramaic name. Aramaic was the language we were speaking at the time of his and my incarnation, two thousand years ago. So I will be referring to him as Yeshua, but this is the same one that many of you know as Jesus.
My relationship with Yeshua was a very sacred relationship. Everyone who was touched by him, who was involved with him in any way, had a sacred relationship with him. I had the great, great blessing and tremendous gift to be very close to him, in fact to be in sacred relationship with him. This is something I have explained in detail in the book Mary Magdalene Beckons: Join the River of Love. This is something that was not recorded in the Bible, for various reasons. The Bible was recorded long after our lifetimes. Those who decided what would and what would not be included in the Bible had their own decisions they were making and their own purposes. As part of that, it was decided that my story would largely not be included, except in very skeletal form.
But in fact, it is the case that I was Yeshua’s partner and we were in sacred relationship together. The reason for this is quite deep, quite complex. One aspect of it is that we both had work—very, very profound and important spiritual work—that we were bringing forth. It was understood that my part of this was to bring forth what I refer to as the Divine Feminine, or the Feminine face of God. I was incarnated with Yeshua as an example and a modeling of the union of Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine, in the form of a human man and woman.
But we also understood—Yeshua and myself, and others as well—that the world at that time was not ready for this aspect of our work and the teaching that we were bringing forth—the aspect of the Divine Feminine, the aspect of sacred relationship, the aspect of God having attributes or aspects that were both Masculine and Feminine. (Another way of saying this is Father-Mother-God.) At that time, two thousand years ago, the world was not prepared for this. We understood this. Even back when we were both physically incarnated, we knew that it would be two thousand years before the world was ready. That time has come. This is the time now. Not only is the world ready to receive the divine in Feminine form, and to receive my teaching of the Divine Feminine, but the world needs this. Receiving the Divine Feminine is very crucial to your time period right now.
There are many who are aware of this. I am not the first to say this and this occasion is certainly not the first time of this being stated. Many, many people who are aware, who are conscious, and many people who are tuned into higher beings are quite cognizant of this, that this is the time of the Divine Feminine coming through and coming forth, and that this is absolutely necessary right now.
This is one of the reasons why I have been coming through to Mercedes, as well as to other people. Part of my work is to be a leader in the transformation that humans are in the process of undergoing. This is a transformation from having the Divine Masculine as the predominant message you received and incarnated for a very long time. That message has predominated both in terms of your spirituality and also in terms of your more mundane world and aspects of that world—your politics, culture, education, and personal development. All of these have been quite dominated by the Masculine, what you could call the Divine Masculine. Now it is time for the Divine Feminine to come forth, to be incarnated, to be understood, and for all of you—men and women alike—to become strong in the Feminine, so that you can come into balance between the Masculine and the Feminine.
First and foremost, this must happen within yourselves. You all have your own inner Feminine and Masculine, which is a reflection or manifestation of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine. For all of you, this is where the work originates, within yourselves. For many of you, this will require strengthening the Feminine, because this has not been supported and developed for a very, very long time. Even those of you who feel great love of the Feminine and the Divine Feminine, who feel very positively oriented toward the Feminine, even you often have work within yourselves to do to strengthen your inner Feminine. This is very practical work. There are very practical arenas that need to be developed for this to become strong, because it has been withheld from you, in so many ways, for so very long.
As I talked about in the messages that are recorded in the book Mary Magdalene Beckons, there are three primary arenas where the Feminine needs to be strong. It is within these three arenas that many people need to examine themselves and see what work they may have to do to complete the strengthening of the Feminine within. This is so important for people to do at this time. First and foremost, this is work for you to do with yourself, for your own strengthening and balancing. Secondly, this work needs to be done for your sacred relationships you will be engaging in your life, that these can come into balance. The third very important reason is that you are not only doing this work for yourself. You do this as service to humanity, for your whole world. As you transform, as you strengthen and develop and grow yourself, you are affecting what is accessible for people, what is available to people, and what is becoming strong for your whole world. Any time you do growth and transformation work for yourself, it affects everyone. That is very, very important at this time.
You are all at a very critical juncture, where there is great opportunity opening up for your world, and for human beings, in particular, to transition into a higher level of consciousness. This will be reflected in a higher dimension of reality coming in and being the realm that you all inhabit, that you know, that you live in and are manifesting in. This is the great opportunity you have at this time. Those of you who are on your spiritual path, who are light-workers, very likely those of you who are listening to me at this time, many of you are quite aware of this. I, and so many beings of the higher realms, thank you for all that you are doing to support this amazing transformation that is underway in your world. This is not only affecting the Earth. This transformation is so vast and involves so many places in your universe, all of which you are affecting through the spiritual work you are doing. It is most important. We thank all of you for this.
I am aware that I have wandered away a bit from where I started, which was explaining about the Divine Feminine and the arenas through which this manifests within each of you. Now I wish to return to that. What I want to explain is that there are these three arenas that are the foundation of the Divine Feminine within each one of you: the relationship with your physical body, the relationship with your sexuality, and the relationship with your emotions. For each of you, these are the places that I strongly urge you to examine and see what may need strengthening within yourself. This is what I talked about in great depth in the messages I gave in the book Mary Magdalene Beckons, along with my guidance and instruction as to what each of you can do to strengthen these areas. As I said at that time, of these three, the area that is most critical for the most people is the way that you respond to pain.
The area of emotions, for many people, is quite confusing. Your emotions are truly a gift from the divine that is rather unique to human beings in your realm. Yet many of you do not yet fully understand how to receive this gift that has been given to you in the emotional realm and how to work with emotions, particularly your painful emotions. This is the part that is most challenging for many of you. You did not receive help and support and guidance in understanding the pathway of how to respond to painful emotions, how to receive the gift from God that’s being given to you through these emotions, and how to make use of emotions to support your spiritual journey, to support your uniting with God.
Because you did not receive that instruction and that guidance, and because you do not fully understand it, I especially focused on that in my earlier messages that are recorded in Mary Magdalene Beckons. I gave detailed instruction about how you can respond differently to your painful emotions in a way that will be most supportive of you, most supportive of your spiritual connection, and most supportive of your forward movement in your spiritual evolution. I did this because, from my vantage point, this is the area that is holding most people back from their spiritual growth in general, and specifically from the incarnation of the Divine Feminine.
This is why I said earlier that while many of you are so positively oriented to the Divine Feminine and the Feminine in all her forms (which is a most wonderful thing), even so, for many of you there may still be work to do in these three arenas, and especially in the emotional arena in terms of how you respond to pain. I urge you to make use of the instruction I have given and to learn these pathways of incarnating the Divine Feminine, which will support you and help to transform you, and in that process, transform your world.

YESHUA: Breaking Through The Veil Of Separation
Channeled by Mercedes Kirkel
On September 4, 2013
Beloved,
This is Yeshua. I love you. I love you so very much. This is what I want you to know, to feel, to always be connected to. This will change your life, to know my love. Many people have experienced this. You experience this when you channel and I come through you for others. You have described what it’s like to be in my presence, what a sublime and exalted state you are drawn into and how exquisite it is. This is all true. And yet afterwards you return to your ordinary state, your usual consciousness and energy. Why is that? Why do you not stay connected with me?
I am not blaming or berating you. I am asking these questions to try to help you. You see, that is the challenge of the third dimension. Your consciousness and awareness naturally returns back to the dominant mode, which is the state of separation from God, from life, ultimately from yourself. And so that becomes the spiritual work in the third dimension, to reconnect with God, life, and self. It is not easy. It takes great strength and commitment and dedication, because the default is to forget and return to disconnection, separation.
When you are channeling me, you are lifted into my state, my energy, my consciousness, my experience. It is a gift. Others receive this gift in various ways. Perhaps they do not channel. Perhaps they have an experience or an opening to my state, consciousness, or energy in a different way. Perhaps through meditation, or spiritual study, or connecting with nature, or love, or a spiritual gathering, or a moment in their life that breaks through “the veil” of separation that you experience in the third dimension. Often these moments are something out of the ordinary, something extraordinary. It might be something wonderful, or something that appears miraculous (meaning that it isn’t readily explained by your rational mind), or something very painful.
Feeling love with another is one of the avenues of going beyond the veil of separation in your dimension. Love is a very powerful force of upliftment. Most of you do not realize the tremendous power of love yet. This is something you will be understanding more fully at the higher dimensions, when your blocks to love that you currently experience are no longer obstructing you. At the third dimension, the most powerful form of love that most people experience is love for a partner, usually of the opposite sex, though not always. This form of love is so powerful for most of you that your society tends to be rather obsessed with it. What you must understand is that the love you experience is not coming from the other person, nor is it coming from you. It is coming through you and through the other person. It is coming from God. It is truly God’s love that you experience. Any love is truly God’s love, such as the love of a child or a parent, the love of a friend, the love of an animal, any form of love.
You may say, why call it God’s love? Why does it have to belong to God. That is part of the thinking of separation. It does not belong to God. It simply is God. Everything is God. Love is the power of God. When you experience love in the third dimension, you are simply experiencing a window into knowing God. Unfortunately many people don’t realize this. So they end up searching for their perfect partner, or demanding perfection from their present partner. That is doomed to fail in this dimension. It is like demanding something from a movie that it cannot provide.
If you want to be fulfilled, you must release the image, which is the other person, and find its source. The source is God. Then you can receive the other person as a gift that’s opening you to God. You will be connected to God and that is what will fulfill you and satisfy your heart. Then you will be filled, your heart will be full of God’s love, and you can bring that fullness into your relationship. That is the path of satisfaction and fulfillment.
In the third dimension, this requires faith and trust. Ideally that trust and faith is developed from the beginning of your life, starting with your relationship with your parents. A positive early life experience is a great help to people in forming the foundation of trust and faith in God. If this does not occur, you may have work to do to establish your trust and faith, perhaps healing the past wounding that occurred. But trust and faith is always available, just as God is always available. You simply must exercise trust and faith. In your scientific, skeptical world, filled with material distractions, this is not always easy. It takes inner strength to choose this. Often it is difficult circumstances which gives you that inner strength. That is the gift of difficulty in the third dimension.
One way or another, sooner or later, everyone will find this. It is always there for you as a motivation. You are drawn to God, just as a moth is drawn to light. It is an inner memory, no matter how faint or distant. Everyone knows it and is drawn in some form or other. You may be drawn to have meaning in your life. You may be drawn to experience love. You may be drawn to experience release. You may be drawn to experience something greater, something more. Whatever the form that your calling takes, everyone is drawn. Even if it doesn’t occur in this lifetime, it will occur. It is inevitable.
I urge you to find your connection, your inner drawing that is your path in this lifetime to God. I do this because I love you, because I love God, because I want you to be fulfilled in God. That is my work and my path, to help you to know the greatness and wonder and ultimate fulfillment of living in God’s love. May this message be one more support and help in drawing you to that path, whatever form it takes for you.
I love you immensely. Call on me at any time and I am with you.
Yeshua
