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!
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.

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.

Mary Magdalene: Sacred Marriage
Received on July 22, 2012 through Mercedes Kirkel
[This is Part I of a channeled message that Mary Magdalene gave at a gathering in honor of her feast day, July 22nd, 2012.]
Hello, greetings, and blessings to my dear one and all of you who are here with me today, all of you who will be hearing this and listening to it later, all of you who are gathered in so many gatherings across your country and around your world who are honoring the Divine Feminine through calling upon me on this day. I thank you so much.
I am so thrilled to be here with you, with all of you. I’m so happy for your opening to the Divine Feminine in this moment and in all the ways that you do. And I’m so happy for all there is to celebrate right now. For there is so much, I almost feel a little beside myself—Where to start? Where to begin?
I will begin right here with you who are gathered here. To you, Mercedes, I say that I am greatly embracing you, greatly celebrating with you for the book that you have put out, for your creating this gathering and other events. There will be so many more events in the future to allow me to come through and to allow others, as well. We are supporting all of you in your growth and your beautiful unfoldment, which is happening so strongly right now.
It is such a wonderful time, for so many reasons. But one of them is that there are so many people who are opening up to us—the beings of light in the higher dimensions. We are so happy and thrilled to be supporting all of you, connecting with you, helping you, joining with you consciously, and to have these kinds of occasions when we speak to you and we hear from you. It is so wonderful. Of course, our connection with you is not limited. It is not limited to these occasions. It is not limited to when we speak with you or you speak with us. It is ongoing and there are so many forms that it is taking. But these occasions, in particular, are very wonderful and joyful for all of us, to have you coming together, holding sacred space, creating the container for us to connect in this way. To all of you, I thank you so much for being here today.
And I thank you for your openness to me. For yes, it is true that the world is opening to me in these past few years, which of course are like the blink of an eye, if that much, in terms of your time and the total time of our beingness. But so much has happened in such an incredibly short time, and this is just the beginning. There are huge openings ahead, huge things that will be changing you, changing your consciousness, changing your world in so many ways. And this is part of the excitement that I feel. It is being created all the time by people just like yourselves who are expanding, growing, calling in this change, wanting it for themselves, wanting to hold it and share it with others. That is how your world is formed, created, sustained, changed, dissolved, re-birthed. It is how manifestation happens.
This manifestation process is strengthened through all these forms of your coming together—where you join together, share your dreams, share your visions, share your hopes, share your strengths, share your help and your support with each other. This is so important. It is so critical. It is what has happened in the past in some of your more formal ways—through your churches, in particular. And of course, there are ways that that has supported people and there are ways that that has diverted and gone away from helping people.
But the form is changing. It is becoming much more of an internal process that is happening within each person. And you are connecting with others out of this internal process, because there are so many people going through this process together. Truly, you are connected, and you are finding each other in all different ways. In those connections, you are amplifying, magnifying this process for each other, as well as for people who perhaps are at a different stage. These people are going through the process in their own way, but perhaps are not sharing in the way that you are with yourself and with others—consciously, openly, outwardly. But you are helping them, also, and it is affecting them. So these gatherings are one of the new forms that is emerging. It is a very organic form in your world, in which the power, the spiritual transformation is coming through. It is one of the great changes that are happening at this time.
And yes, the Divine Feminine is so important. Many of you understand this. Many of you have an awareness of this, of how the Divine Feminine has been waiting. It has not been time. You, so many of you, have not been ready and your world has not been ready. Now there is so much that is supporting this, that is in place. There are a few things that I wish to share about this.
The first is that one of the ways you can recognize the Divine Feminine is that the Divine Feminine is in love with the Divine Masculine. And the Divine Feminine is supportive of the Divine Masculine and of union—of union with the Masculine, union with the Child, union with the Divine. Union is one of the primary paths of the Feminine. So do not fall into the trap of thinking that it is only about the Divine Feminine, for that is not the case. The Divine Feminine is embracing of the Divine Masculine. And you have needed this time to become strong in the Divine Masculine, within yourselves, in your world. Yes, it has been out of balance. And yes, it has gone to the extreme at times. Yet, there was a logic. There was a reason and a preparation that was happening. Now the Masculine is ready to embrace the Feminine, to call us in and for there to be union and unity. This is the new stage, the new age that you are moving into.
So remember that it is about the Divine Feminine coming forth and flowering. But the Divine Feminine embraces and holds and loves the Divine Masculine, and honors the Masculine, and calls in the Masculine to bring what the Masculine brings, which is so important for there to be balance and wholeness and harmony. That is what you are moving into, a beautiful new age, in which there will be this union and this unity between the Feminine and the Masculine.
Many of you know this in your hearts, in your souls, and in your beings in the relationship between myself and Yeshua. It is something that you don’t have to know with your mind. You don’t have to know the details. You don’t have to know where we lived, what we did, what were the dates, what were the names, what were the other people. Yes, that can be interesting, and yes, there is a way that in your humanness that feeds you. But truly, everything that you need is in your heart, in your soul, in your beingness. And you know that love that we exemplified, that we lived. You know that we brought that frequency into the world, planting it as seed to be here in your world. And yes, the relationship between us was hidden for many, many years. It was not time. The world was not ready yet for that to come forth. Now it is.
So know that we are with each one of you in your heart. And there is a way that our archetypal relationship, our pure love was planted so many years ago, and is still here, is strengthening and becoming more available, more accessible, more profound as you are opening to it and receiving it. This is part of why so many people are drawn to me at this time. It is like a cosmic alarm clock going off. You are ready for this. You are ready to know of my great love for Yeshua. And you are ready to know that love within yourself and to begin to incarnate it and to manifest it.
That love always manifests first with yourself. It manifests with you knowing the love of your Divine Masculine, your Divine Feminine. The marriage of the Divine Masculine and Feminine always lives within you, within your heart, and that is where it begins. Out of that comes the holy marriage, which is the marriage of you and God. But God has two faces in this manifestation here in your realm. There is the Masculine face of God and the Feminine face of God.
Not only will you know the marriage of the two faces of God within yourself, but you will also know your holy union with God, absolutely. And then you will know this sacred union in your relationships with others. More and more of you will be finding your sacred partner, who you live this exquisite love with. The love relationship with a sacred partner includes the exquisite union of your sacred heart and sacred mind, in form, with another being. It is one of the greatest blessings that you will experience in this realm. Know that this is your future, if you have not experienced it up till now. This is what is coming in. You are ready now to grow into this, to know this, and to allow it to carry you to your greater divinity, your divine beingness.
That is always what I am so moved to share—my understanding and my experience of this divine union, this sacred marriage. As I have spoken through Mercedes and is in her book, there are foundational steps for each of you in opening to the Divine Feminine. Many of you have areas that you still need to strengthen in this way, because this is such a new time of celebrating, of opening to, of calling forth the Divine Feminine. These foundational arenas are very important, because they are what will allow you to open your heart. They will allow you to know the sacred marriage within of your Divine Masculine–Divine Feminine, of your sacred heart–sacred mind, and your sacred heart-union with another being. Do not gloss over that. It is important and it will help you to know this and to complete your work at these foundational stages. It will allow you to go on into your greatness, your largeness, your beauty, your perfection, and into greater and greater realms of experience, of consciousness, of light and love.
That is all that I am going to say about that today, for I have said it in great depth before. I hope that it may support and serve every one of you in your becoming the beautiful, divine being that you are, that I know you as, and that I support you in fully.
I love you. I bless you.
I AM Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene and Sacred Sexuality: An Interview on Tantra Talk Radio
July 22nd was the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene. Part of how I celebrated this day was to do an interview with Rundy Duphiney of Tantra Talk Radio on Mary Magdalene and her relationship with Sacred Sexuality. I greatly enjoyed talking with Rundy about Mary Magdalene and what she has revealed to me about her practice and teaching of Sacred Sexuality.
Here’s what Rundy had to say about the interview:
“Last night’s interview with Mary Magdalene channel and author Mercedes Kirkel was a cosmic, otherworldly, and beautiful experience for all. Ms. Kirkel epitomizes humility, compassion, and selflessness and went into great detail explaining Tantric sexuality as channeled to her by Mary Magdalene. It was one of the most beautiful and hopeful explanations of Tantra I have ever heard.”

Isis: The Great Frontier of the Heart and Dealing with Fear
Received through Mercedes Kirkel
July 9, 2012
Blessings my very dear ones,
This is Goddess Isis. It has been a long time since I have come to you and spoken, for truly words are not my primary vehicle of communication. And yet tonight I am so moved to be with you, to share my heart with you, my love, and whatever wisdom I can bring that will help you, that I choose to be here in this form. My heart is so full of love. This is what I mostly wish to share with you. It is the woman’s way, in so many ways, the heart of the Mother, to want to share love. And of course, men are never excluded from this and have so much to share themselves. But love is the particular domain of the feminine within all of us – men and women. It is something we treasure so much, and yet oftentimes we work against it, eclipse it, busy ourselves with things that seem to bury it in the sand. So we need reminders to come back to that beautiful space of love that we love, and yet, tend to shy away from, to be afraid of at some level.
This is part of the third-dimensional journey that you experience in so many ways, in so many of your relationships or even with yourself—opening to love and then backing off, wanting to love but being afraid, testing the waters, getting hurt, deciding “should I?” —“shouldn’t I?”, or not deciding. So much of it happens at a level prior to consciousness. Much of it is the way you’ve been trained, what you learned at a very young age, what you see modeled all around you, what your society has agreed upon is acceptable, and normal, and even safe. Many of these things do not support you. They do not support your heart and they do not support you in love.
So there are teachers who come to teach about love. There are beings, such as myself, who come to remind you, to whisper in your ear. We come in all forms—in poetry, in music, in books, in words, in looks, in smiles, in embraces. There is no limit to the form that love can take. Love can take the form of helping someone. Love can take the form of challenging someone. It is all about the heart and about coming from the heart. Within that there are infinite possibilities.
As you manifest love more and more, the infinite possibilities of yourself, and who you are, and what you are to become will start to manifest as well. For love is not just about what you do. Love is about who you are. And who you are will change with love, in ways that you may not be able to even imagine at this time. If you go to the limits of what you can imagine, that may just be the barest beginning of what is possible in love. You have a great discovery ahead of you. It will be most wondrous. And for this you can celebrate.
And yes, there is a letting go in love. Sometimes it’s seen as taking the leap, jumping off the cliff. And sometimes it can feel like that, and that is a good thing. It does take courage, for everything you know will be telling you, “No, no, that’s not safe. Don’t do that. No, do this instead. Don’t be silly. Don’t be unrealistic. Don’t be a fool.” But listen to your heart, and your heart will guide you wisely.
Other people may have help for you, and it is well worth it to take their help in and consider it. But it is up to you to choose your course. And you alone know what that is. No one else does. What may have been a great help for someone else may not be your course at all. That is part of your journey. It is a hero’s journey, a journey of discovery, a journey of trust, of being guided.
Ultimately it is your higher self that is guiding you. You may experience this in many forms. You may experience this as an angel. You may experience this as another being that supports you. You may experience this as God, however you relate to God. Ultimately you will discover that all these things are true. And they are all true of you. They are all parts of who you are.
Please do not worry, dear ones. Things are fine. Even if it appears that things are falling apart, even if it appears that people are suffering or dying, there is a much greater story that is actually going on. All of these people are fine. All of these people are on their path. Can you trust that? Your life would change dramatically if you saw it that way. And curiously this is the greatest good you can do for others—to see that they are perfectly on their path and that there is no problem; there is nothing to worry about.
Of course you will do things, because you are in the third dimension right now, and the third dimension is a realm of action and doing. Of course you will do things that are aligned to this vision that everything is fine. Perhaps you will more and more feel less called to do things, less called to do things that you did in the past. That is fine, too. It is all being guided, and your challenge is to trust. Your challenge is to find the joy in your heart. What a delightful challenge! Not necessarily an easy one. And we have great compassion for what you suffer and the challenges that you face. They are real, and yet there is more. The “more” is in your heart, in the God-space in your heart. That is the treasure. The treasure chest of your stories of old was all a symbol for what you all have in your heart. And yes, you are on a journey to find it—the road back to your heart.
Well, my, my—I have gotten very philosophical. It is not my intention. I hope this has been helpful for you. But more than that, I hope that you feel your heart, that you see the shining of your heart, the light in your heart, the joy, the love of your heart, the blessing that this fills your whole self with and goes out to others with. This is the stage of the world, in your heart. Put your attention there. The news pales in comparison to that. You are loved immensely. And you are love immensely. Both are true.
As I am seen with wings, your heart has wings. Your soul flies on those wings when you unlock the doors. I urge you all to do this. I encourage you and support you. I whisper in your ear, “Remember your heart, dear ones. Remember your heart.” Do you know that everything happens within your heart? It is all within your heart. This is the great frontier to discover. And you have wonderful discoveries ahead, as you go more and more into the heart.
That is my message for you that I bring. Now I would like to hear from you. What are your questions that you have for me?
Question: I’ve been out of work since October. Just recently I’m starting to get frightened. So I’m seeking guidance and some assurance, I guess.
Isis: About your survival?
Questioner: Yes.
Isis: It is understandable that you would be frightened. The third dimensional world is a very frightening place, where people are left to their own, for better or for worse. And yet these things can also be the very things that transform us, that become gifts, that cause us to go beyond our limits—self-imposed and other imposed.
The first step in a circumstance of this nature—any type of crisis where you feel scared—is to, first of all, care for yourself. Love yourself in your fear. It is like the Mother-love that I spoke about. You give it to yourself. That love that says, “I understand. Of course you feel scared. I’m here with you. I won’t desert you. I love you. We will see this through. We will find our way. I am here for you.” This is your heart speaking to yourself and it is a very important step. For in our fear, we often lose ourselves and lose connection with our own heart. So that is the first step, the step of loving yourself and embracing yourself with Mother-love.
Again, this is not just for women. This is for men. This is for all beings to find. We all have Mother-love and Father-love within ourselves. And it is beyond just within ourselves. It is part of the divine. It is part of what we receive, that Mother-love that so many people connect with through the Earth. It is our divine nature. And so you connect with yourself, and you give this beautiful, nurturing loving to yourself.
You may need to connect with it through others who are nurturing to you, or through connecting with the Earth, through connecting with the Mother in that form, through connecting with the Mother in whatever form you experience her. Many people have the experience of connecting with the Mother through a particular personality or being, such as Mother Mary. That is wonderful, if that is your path. If it is not, do not be concerned. Everyone has access to the Mother’s love, to the divine Mother. So you begin with that, with nurturing yourself with the love of the divine Mother.
Through that, you find your connection to your heart. And when you find your connection to your heart, you find your connection to God. It doesn’t have to be a certain figure of God that you were taught as a child or in any particular religion. It is your relationship with God, and it is found through your heart. When you find that, you will be guided to what you need to do, because there is a plan to all of this. It is not just a random set of gruesome events that you are pitted against, and you are struggling, like running on a conveyer belt, trying to keep up so you don’t fall off and get eliminated. That is not the nature of the world. But in the third dimension, it can feel like that. It can appear like that. It is as though you have glasses on, and the glasses are coloring the way everything looks. This is why it is so important to connect with your heart, and through that to connect with God. Because through connecting with God, you will start to know your life’s plan. You will start to know what you are to do. This knowingness comes in different ways for everyone. There is no need to compare yourself to anyone else. But your heart will know.
And the truth is that you are supported in this circumstance for the perfect amount of time, the amount of time that you have selected at the soul level. When you are no longer supported being here, when it is no longer your time to be here, you will be supported to leave, and to go where you’re meant to be then. The truth is that you are always supported. But this particular third dimension can be a scary place. It’s like signing up to go on a roller coaster. You signed up for some fear! (laughs) And that’s part of the ride. So it can be scary. And there’s a purpose to that, too. There’s a purpose to your soul’s knowing that experience and understanding what that is—the experience of separation, which is ultimately separation from God. That is what all fear boils down to—separation.
This is part of what you have come here to know and to explore and to learn. It is all perfect. Your challenge is to trust. What can help you beyond these steps that I have given is to ask for help, which is simply prayer. This asking can come in a verbal form. It can come in a heart form. It can come in whatever form is true for you. But asking is an important step. So when you are connected to your heart, to your higher self, to the divine, ask for help. And you will be helped.
Are there other questions?
(Period of silence)
I take this as a sign that you are deeply in your hearts. What I invite you to do now is to be in that heart space. I invite you to simply be aware of what you experience in that heart space and to receive whatever is being given to you from the heart in this moment.
(Period of silence)
This is the space that you will more and more be living from. This is the space you will meet others in. This is the space you will create your new world from.
I love and bless you all most fully, from the depths and breath of my heart. I enfold you in my wings of love. I see the highest blessings for all. I am filled with joy to be with you tonight.
I leave you now. Blessings of Isis to you all.

Arielle: The Art of Living in Joy
Received through Mercedes Kirkel
May 14, 2012
Greeting beloveds,
This is Arielle speaking. Some of you may not be familiar with who I am, as I am from a distant place and not one of the more usual Guides who communicate with you. But I am very moved tonight to come through and to speak, and so I am here to be with you, to bring blessings and wisdom that I am able to offer, help that I am able to give, and to answer questions, which I joyfully do.
I am here on the wings of joy. It is a joyful spirit that has brought me in, like a wind that blows through. And I am attracted by your joy, for I feel your frequency of joy rising. I feel it growing and multiplying amongst you and amongst so many people in your world. This is a very good thing. This is a very good sign. For joy is one of the hallmarks of raising your frequency and raising your consciousness. It is a sign that this is happening for all of you, that your frequency and your consciousness is growing and expanding. And with this you are experiencing more joy.
As you do this, the beings of joy are more and more attracted to you. For that is the way of the universe. The frequency that you are vibrating with, that you are amplifying, attracts those same frequencies from all different parts of the universe. And so I am attracted to being here with you tonight.
And I wish to share joy with you. It is an interesting thing, because it is not something that can be explained in a mental way. Joy is a state of being. It is a state where you feel your heart and your heart openness. Can you feel it right now? Can you feel this greater openness in your heart? I am bringing this with me and it is part of my gift, to help you to experience this state of joy and how it manifests as a feeling sense in your heart.
It is possible to anchor this in by coming to know this state, by remembering it, by inviting it to be always in your heart, like a home that you come home to again, and again, and again. You have this ability. You can contact this state in your heart. It is always there. It is always possible. But it takes a certain freedom and a certain baseline, you might say, that you are vibrating at, that your frequency is holding, to be able to merge with this feeling and to know it fully.
There is a way that you can meet with others in this space. Many beings do this. It is a way that you shine this frequency out, kind of like the way a flashlight shines light out in a certain direction. And you connect with other beings who are doing the same. It looks a little bit like fireflies who are all connecting and their lights are going out to each other. It is a joyful thing to do, like a game almost, but so much fun, so much joy.
Often people think they can only have this when they have the experience of falling in love. But of course, you can have this at any time.
It is somewhat like a game. It puts you in a space that’s very childlike. Truly children often feel this and are more open to it. Oftentimes adults don’t realize that’s what going on with the children, but this is their state. Perhaps you can remember it being your state.
In this state, it is easy to play. It is easy to be play-full. That is another thing that is a very wonderful thing to call into your life—play. That, too, is not just for children, not restricted to them. But it helps if you have this feeling in your heart, which motivates you to want to play, to be silly, or to do things for no purpose, just for joy. It’s like you’re spreading fairy dust of joy all around when you do that. Do you like this state? It is available to you and is truly where you are going.
Sometimes people feel uncomfortable with this energy. It feels like it’s a little too much, a little too fast, a little too full. So it may take some time to adjust. Sometimes people need to receive it in small doses at first. Little by little you’re able to be with it for longer periods of time. This is one of the reasons why change in general, and especially the change you’re going through at this time, is happening over time in a gradual way. If it were to all happen at once, it would likely overwhelm you. This way, you are able to be comfortable, and not afraid, and are able to open to it at a pace, at a speed, that is right for you.
Even so, most of you are changing at an amazing rate. It is quite remarkable and you are to be commended for this. For change is not an easy thing, in general, in the third dimensional world. And you are allowing so much change, at a rate that is quite remarkable for the third dimension. Congratulations to all of you for doing it. You have called this in and it is a sign of your strength. It is a sign of your commitment to this process of opening to God. We all are most impressed and grateful to all of you for what you are doing.
But I do not want to become too serious, for I am an ambassador of joy and riding the waves of play tonight. So I think that may be enough for me to say. The experience is so much more than words. Words can dance around it like embroidery around a picture. But the experience is the primary communication.
I invite you to a very simple exercise. Right where you are, without changing anything, imagine, or feel, picture, sense—whatever is easiest for you—that there is light extending out from your body to all the other beings in the room right now. Feel, sense, see yourself connected in light to all the beings.
Just rest in that for a few moments. Let yourself just experience what it’s like. Don’t try to tell yourself that it should be one way or another. Just notice and feel.
Now go into the space of your heart. Imagine your heart like a rose. See this rose opening up, its beautiful fragrance emanating out. Imagine the fragrance of your rose mingling with the fragrance of all the other roses of the people you’ve connected to, the beings you’re connected to by light.
Now return back into your own energy field, once again seeing the rose of your heart, experiencing your rose’s fragrance.
And with this I leave you. I celebrate our time together. I thank you for your openness to being with me, inviting me into your sphere. And I leave you with my blessings of joy.
With much love,
I AM Arielle
