A Message from Mercedes Kirkel’s Guides and Higher Self

Received on January 13, 2014

[NOTE FROM MERCEDES: This message was directed to me personally. I’m sharing this because my guides told me it would be helpful to others, as well.]

Blessings dear one,

We are happy to communicate with you this day. It has been a while and you have been through a lot. You are feeling cut off a good deal of the time from your connection to Spirit, including your guides. This has been difficult for you, both personally and in terms of your work. So we would like to begin by addressing that.

You are going through a purification. You are somewhat aware of this, but don’t totally understand it and often lose your awareness in the midst of challenging aspects of the purification that come up for you. You are not alone in this. This is happening at a grand scale on the Earth right now. But you are particularly sensitive, so you notice what is going on. You feel at times like you’ve lost your direction and purpose in life. There’s a sense of ennui, of lack of energy for continuing the path you are on, or of apathy, feeling “What’s the point?” This is very hard for you, as you usually are very clear about your purpose and motivated to action based on that.

It is a very deep level of purification that is going on that produces this kind of feeling of being un-tethered, disconnected from your spiritual source. You are being asked to connect from a deeper place, beyond your mind or emotions or physical sensations or energetic experiences. You are being asked to connect from your spiritual body, your higher self, the light that is ever-abiding within you, which is not bound to experiences in your inner or outer life.

This is the purpose of traditional meditation, and many traditional paths focus on this as their primary attainment. While you have had exposure to this, and have experienced that path to a very significant depth, it has not been your primary path. Your primary path has been the more Feminine approach of the heart, the body, the emotions, and sexuality. You understand this Feminine path very well, and have advanced to a great degree through being true to yourself through this path. Now it is time for you to go beyond the confines of that path, just as a traditional eastern practitioner of meditation or yoga or any other practice focusing on the transcendent must at some point go beyond that path and come into the Feminine world of embodiment, manifestation, and form. You are being called to strengthen and become powerful in the transcendent, which is not your natural leaning, but you are fully capable of it.

You have already understood correctly that your daily practice of meditation is very important for finding your stability and centering in something other than the world as you know it. You must begin to allow more time in your meditation for simply resting in the higher dimensions, without manifesting intentions or receiving guidance. Instead, let yourself simply come to rest, to receive whatever is being given to you, beyond form or comprehension. Trust in this process. It is important and will lead you to your next level of growth and development.

Whenever the familiar is being gone beyond, it is challenging. There is a death of the old before, or sometimes as, the new comes in. Particularly at the third dimension, and in your culture especially, there is struggle with this, because it is not understood or embraced with acceptance and surrender. Rather it tends to be fought against out of fear. We understand this and have compassion for you, yet want you to know there is another way. It is the way of trust and faith.

We ask you to have trust and faith, to allow the process that is underway in your life to unfold, to find new avenues of connection to God that are right for you now that will take you to new vistas and horizons of communion with Spirit. Allow it to unfold. Embrace your fear but do not make it your idol. It is a part of you that needs love and attending to, so it can join you on the journey. We are here with you, even though you may not feel us in the ways you are used to. We have not abandoned you. By no means is that case, nor would we want that. We love you and are here with you.

When you are dissatisfied with your life, it is a sign of the old dying. It may also be a sign that you are resisting that death, not allowing it to move forward. Take your dissatisfaction as a sign that it is time to let go. Push off from the banks of the river and allow the current to carry you. It is the current of your life. It has wisdom. It knows what you need in ways that you don’t. Let yourself be carried. You are very good at doing whatever work is involved. Now is a time of trust and allowing yourself to be carried. It is not about self-effort and directed action. Of course there are actions you will take in your life. You know what those are. But at the deeper level, that is not the primary movement of your life. Right now it is about being carried and allowing. We bless you to trust that process, to give yourself to it and to let it take you to the next unfoldment of your life.

You have done this in the past. It is how you were brought to where you are now. You tell your story and it inspires many people. And it is absolutely true. Yet now you are being called to a greater level of this, and even your own past doesn’t necessarily make it easy or clear. Such is the nature of growth and transformation. This is why we are here to support you. We love you and are dedicated to helping you. We are so glad you have opened to us today. We recommend that you do this regularly, so we can regularly infuse you with our clarity and direction.

We are so proud of you and pleased with the work you do. You tend to be quite hared on yourself, which has its benefits because it supports you in striving for the highest. But your view is not always balanced. We want you to know that you are doing superbly well and we are extremely pleased with all you have done and continue to do. To you, it often seems like not enough or so little that you’ve accomplished, but that is because you only understand a small part of what is going on. This is why it takes great faith and release into the greater process, even if you can’t understand  or grasp what that greater process really is at this time. That will change at some point, quite possibly after this lifetime, when you will gain great clarity about what you were actually doing and why. But that is not necessarily going to be the case until then, which also has its purpose. That being the case, we urge you to trust, to continue to strive and stretch into the light and love, as you have and continue to do, but with great letting go and allowance as the primary director of your life altogether.

We love you so much and hope this has been helpful for you. We trust that you understand and will make perfect use of this.

In light and love,

Your Guides and Higher Self
