MARY MAGDALENE: The Tremendous Advantage You Can Give Children

Picasso mother & child

Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 3, 2014

MARY MAGDALENE: Hello beloved. Yes, I am ready to share more with you. I wish to expand on the topic of helping children, as I’m aware that a number of people have asked about this. There is more I wish to say about this.

People want to know how they can help the children of today to become strong spiritually. What can the adults do to support them the most?

It’s important to understand that at this time humanity is involved in the ascension process, which means that you’re in the midst of ascending from the third dimension to the fourth dimension. This is an enormous shift for humans and is taking place very quickly relative to how these types of changes usually occur. Ascension is the spiritual focus for humans at this time. Those who are spiritually progressive and sensitive are aware of this, yet it tends to be the minority of your global population who are conscious of this event. That doesn’t make it any less real, however.

Spiritually speaking, the greatest thing you can give to children is to help them in this very process. As I’ve said before, this will necessarily involve you being involved in the process yourself, for children learn primarily at the nonverbal level through copying and adapting to what is being modeled to them.

One of the primary characteristics of the third dimension is that it is a place where power is used to get what you sense you need or want. This might be called “force” or “coercion” or “overpowering others,” because most often it is power used at the expense of others. This is the old model of authority, where those at the top have power and those below have relinquished their power. It is assumed that those with power will be supported, taken care of, and even survive, while those without power may or may not be supported, taken care of, or even survive.

This creates great stress in yourself and in your society. It is a structure that inherently assumes some will not be taken care of while some will. So there is struggle and competition to be one of the ones who will be taken care or even survive.

All of this is learned at an extremely young age by children, because most parents or adult caregivers use power and authority to get children to do what they want. Even when adults are acting in ways that they perceive are best for the children, they very often still use power modalities to get the children to comply.

This is primarily what adults can do to make the biggest difference in terms of helping children to evolve spiritually. It will also do the most to change your world altogether. Stop teaching children, through your example, that the world functions on the basis of power. Stop using power to get children to do what you want.

This means that adults must stop giving commands or orders to children. They must stop using volume as a tool of force. They must stop using rewards and punishments to enforce their authority.

However, I do not recommend that parents simply let children do whatever they want. That would be depriving children of your wisdom, support, help, and intelligence, which they absolutely need. They need your guidance and support. But is not necessary to use force and power and authority to bring your guidance and support to children.

“How do I do this?” you might be asking. What you must do is a very different process of being transparent with children about yourself. You must show children your feelings and the inner divine qualities that are the source of those feelings. Then you can make requests of the child based on your feelings and inner divine qualities. This is the path of heart-connection with your children. You may not believe this will work, if you are deeply entrenched in the belief that force and power are necessary. But I tell you that it does work. Children love you. They also know that they depend on you. You can turn to their love and care rather than force. It is up to you.

Children will trust this process if you also show care for their feelings and the inner divine qualities that are at the source of those feelings. When a child is upset, do not immediately go into force mode of trying to fix and overpower the upset. Instead, stay calm yourself. Breathe. Notice what you’re feeling and the inner divine qualities you’re having. Connect with your heart first, before you respond to the child.

Then, after you’re heart-connected, make a guess of what you think is going on with the child and then ask if your guess is right. For example, you might ask, “Are you frustrated because you want to play right now?” The feeling is frustrated and the inner divine quality it’s sourcing out of is “play.” Keep guessing until you’ve connected with the child’s heart. You will sense when that connection has happened.

Then share with the child what your feelings and inner divine qualities are. For example you might say, “I’m feeling frustrated, too, because I’m wanting to be productive right now in getting dinner ready.” At this point there should be a sense of connection between the two of you. If there isn’t you probably haven’t fully connected with the child’s feelings and the inner divine qualities that are at the source of those feelings. The child won’t have space to receive you and hear what’s going on with you until you’ve first connected with them and what’s going on with them.

This is an example of connecting at the heart, instead of using force. Once that heart-connection is made, then you can move into thinking of possible solutions that you both could agree to and feel at peace with. Then you’re working together rather than against each other. This is co-creation. This is how it can happen.

I hope this has been helpful to you. It is very real and very practical. Parents have the greatest opportunity for making this change with children. If parents raise children in this way, then the children won’t have to unlearn their previous training to learn how to relate from their hearts as adults. This is a tremendous advantage that you can give to children.

I love you and I support you most fully in creating a world that is heart-founded rather than founded on force.

I AM Mary Magdalene

Heavenletter #5098 Such Is the Love Flowers Give, November 9, 2014 

God said: 

You come from love as love itself in order to be love that expresses itself. And when your days on Earth this time around are done, you are returned to the love from which you came. Love expresses itself. It must. Love is like that. Love likes to shine. Love does not like to be pushed down, squeezed, flattened etc. Love is love. A flower loves so much, it pushes its way up through soil joyously. Such is the love flowers give.
 
It is the nature of love to expand. It is also the nature of life to expand. Everyone is here on Earth for expansion of love expressed in life. Love expresses itself, not by decided explanation or accountability, but simply by expanding. Love loves to expand. Love loves to well up and burst forth like something new and burst and burst. First a flower is a sprout, and then it unfolds its leaves and then it blossoms.
 
You, a human being, have expanded. Sometimes you have curtailed the expansion of your love, yet more always accrues. Expansion has its ways.
 
Love is such a natural thing that it needs no games made of it. Truly, love needs no practice, yet sometimes, because of reticence, because of holding back from fear, you have to dare yourself to burst your bounds. The expression of love is the most natural expression in the world and in Heaven, yet sometimes you may need to give the outpouring of your love permission. I speak of love even as given in the form of kindness to a stranger.
 
You know, it is your love We are speaking of. It is your love that is important. You are not here on Earth to make trades for love. Love is not on the bargaining table. Your love is not dependent upon someone else’s love. We are not speaking of love suffocating, love obliged, love following some rules made up for the sake of demonstration or for reward. There are no limits to love, yet that does not mean that love cannot be quiet. Love can just be where it is without any fanfare. It does not have to be given plaudits.
 
Love is a requirement and yet, love has to be allowed to be free. Sometimes on Earth, what is named love may be something less, as though it were a victory. Love is not an establishment. It is not a possession. How do you give love? Give love without talons. Give love because love arises from your heart. Nothing has to happen because your heart loves. There is no owning love. Love makes no demands. Love is cause, and does not have to have effects. Love is not something to be figured out. Love issues forth from the heart, or it is not love. Love can grow, yet love cannot be contrived. There is no obligation to love or to return it.
 
Flowers are a symbol of love. Flowers grow simply to offer themselves. A flower is happy to be picked and taken home. A flower is also not bereft if someone passes it by, or if someone admires it and doesn’t pick it. Flowers do not total up evidence of love. They just love. If a flower is not picked, it’s okay, for the flower was giving love all the while. A flower makes no rules and regulations. And are not flowers beautiful and written about in poems? Flowers’ love is known. Flowers look up to the sun, and their love is known.
 
What more can a flower ask for than to love? A flower basks in the sunshine of love. A flower makes no demands. A flower does not insist. A flower does not have preconceived ideas. A flower, whether someone picks it or not, is fine about it. A flower does not have the idea that it dies on the vine. A flower’s love depends upon the flower. The flower knows that it is not a commodity. A flower grows to the sun. A flower simply loves because it is its nature.

NOVEMBER 9, 2014

We of the Arcturian Group welcome all to this message presented with love for the purpose of a greater knowledge and understanding of truth. We observe many beginning to question their personal belief systems which indicates clearing within the mental body. All bodies are in the process of clearing. You are not just a physical body, that which is seen with human eyes, but are also etheric, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies which constitute your energy field. The Light emanating from earth is increasing daily, you are creating change even if it does not seem that way at this moment.

At this time you are clearing all bodies of obsolete and outgrown energies accumulated through lifetimes lived in density and ignorance and are replacing them with frequencies of Light and truth. Beliefs and concepts based in duality and separation are never real for they have no spiritual law to support them, and therefore must be let go and cleared in order to move into the higher dimensional energies--this is ascension.

An intention to evolve is all that is required. You do not need to know the specifics of what is clearing for your higher self is directing what is needed as you are ready. Issues long thought to be resolved, may suddenly reappear as clearings are often done in layers, taking place as you are spiritually ready. When you experience emotional or physical distress for no apparent reason, or when you seriously begin to question life long beliefs, remember what you know about clearing.

We wish to speak of spiritual completeness. On earth, mankind takes for granted that all things will come to some sort of completion, meaning that all parts eventually come together either for good or for bad. Completeness in the spiritual sense means the attainment of that state of consciousness which recognizes self (SELF) to be complete and whole. The process is a journey that continues well into the higher dimensions. Beings of Light are simply those who know who they are, they are awake and reflect this in their energy fields.

All are formed of Divine Consciousness and therefore carry within the qualities of Divine Consciousness--wholeness, completeness etc. The degree of completeness manifesting outwardly is in direct proportion to an individual's realization (not intellectual knowledge) of this truth and will reflect what constitutes completeness for the individual. There is no one completeness for everyone. Society, churches, leaders, governments, experts, and family/friends all have varying concepts of how things must be in order to be correct. This is false as wholeness and completeness for one may not be wholeness and completeness for another. When individuals strive to intuit what is right for them and not what may be being pushed on them, they will discover a truer sense of freedom.

Completeness and wholeness is the birthright of every soul, but must become the state of consciousness in order to be experienced. This is the evolutionary journey. To pretend wholeness and completeness without having attained a consciousness of it is to stick ones head in the sand. Never deny the human difficulties, but at the same time learn to not give them power they do not have. Often those who come to know truth intellectually, make the mistake of believing that it is spiritual to stand in the presence of some discord and doing nothing while shouting to self or others; " It is all illusion."

The purpose of earth experiences is to awaken by learning through practice and study to rise above appearances. As you come to know ever more deeply that outer appearances (the good ones as well as the bad) are images formed from a world consciousness of duality and separation, you begin also to understand that there is no law other than belief holding them there. It is at this point that the "absolutist" may lose his way, trying to live a state of consciousness not yet attained. In the human scene the starving baby is real and needs assistance even though in reality starvation has no law to support it (wholeness and completeness is the law), but to simply do nothing while shouting that all is illusion, is very human.

Evolving into a consciousness of completeness is the evolutionary journey and is not without "bloody footsteps" along the way. Those who seem to be experiencing the spiritual fruits of completeness in their daily living have probably done the work in other lifetimes, for all must make this journey, although not all choose to do it on earth. There are many who have never incarnated on earth, choosing instead to evolve on other planets. Evolving on earth through the experiences of the third dimension brings forth very strong and evolved graduates and thus earth has been the choice for many.

Mind interprets individual consciousness and then manifests it outwardly in forms that resonate with the individual. On earth, these forms will be natural and ordinary but will represent what constitutes completeness for the individual. An example might be that the perfect job or partner may appear, but would not appear for someone who is retired or already happily in a partnership.

Do not confuse the expressions of spiritual wholeness and completeness with the human sense of "good"--concepts of what an un-awakened society deems desirable and attained through manipulation and struggle. When gifts of spirit appear, "All ribbons are beautifully tied" and nothing is required to make it so.

All students of truth experience times in which they do not feel very spiritual or complete. Do not get discouraged by this, for feeling spiritual is not an indicator of your attained state of consciousness. Often those in some frenzy of religious fervor are not having a spiritual experience but a very third dimensional and ego driven one. Evolution is about seeing beyond common third dimensional feelings and thoughts, refusing to give them power, and living out from the highest sense of what you know, being in the world, but not of it. As you become aware that world struggles have no real power or law to support them, you will find yourselves personally experiencing less and less of them. Energy draws like energy.

This message is about being aware of the temptation to live out from absolute truth before attaining that state of consciousness. In their enthusiasm for spiritual growth, some students want to immediately integrate and live what they only intellectually understand. Enthusiasm is appropriate, yet these dear ones quickly discover that the truth they may of read in a book doesn't work for them which leaves them feeling that they have been duped or are failures not yet ready for spiritual study. Discouraged, some return to what they previously believed but have outgrown. Others may choose to hold stubbornly to a truth believing that by doing so some outer appearance will change, not realizing that their resistance to that "something" is actually empowering it, holding it in place.

No one can manifest or live higher than his attained state of consciousness. This is the secret key of forgiveness for self as well as others for all are doing the best they know at a particular time. Even the murderer believes he is making the world better in some way.

Evolution is work dear ones, until at a certain point there is more truth in your consciousness than not, at which time life becomes much easier because truth begins to manifest outwardly in whatever forms are needed--ideas, things, persons, etc.

When faced with appearances of discord and in-harmony, center yourselves in the realization that Source could never form Itself as "this" because Divine consciousness does not embody discord--there can be no discord in One. That which I am witnessing is the manifestation of beliefs in separation and duality and therefore ILLUSION. Illusion is how I am perceiving something, not in the something itself.

THEN take what ever human footsteps may be necessary. Mother Teresa of India recognized that every individual was a God being, but did not proceed to stand and shout; "This is all illusion." She fed the starving, bound their wounds, and dealt with whatever immediate needs presented themselves while holding within a realization of truth.

This is how you evolve into the wholeness and completeness of your true self while living on earth having human experiences. Resist nothing. This does not mean you must like and accept everything or that you cannot work to change something, but before taking action look with eyes of spiritual understanding. When you do this, the spiritual fruitage may appear as a solution to the problem

Send Light often to those countries and people you are guided to and know that it is the Light exposing the dark, bringing to the surface long hidden dense energies.

Living up to your highest sense of truth is all that is required and more is given as you do so. All are complete and whole, but lifetimes lived in third dimensional energy caused most to forget this. As creator beings, you then began to ignorantly create a world of duality and separation.

Evolution is simply the journey of re-remembering who and what you are.

Sivananda Daily Reading


10 November

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 10:00 PM PST

Where is Real Love? 
The desire to attain knowledge of the Self will dawn only in the person who is free from desires, who has a pure mind, and who is quite disgusted with this worldly life. Such a man only is competent to hear, meditate and attain Brahman, jnana or knowledge of Brahman. When the knowledge of the Self dawns, ignorance, which is the seed for bondage and the cause of karma, is totally eradicated and the aspirant attains immortality and eternal bliss.
Do not depend upon anybody. Rely on your own self. Be centred in the Atman only. The sweet wife deserts her husband when he is on the roll of unemployment and marries another young man. The rich husband divorces his wife when she loses her beauty on account of protracted illness and marries another woman. Even Lord Jesus and Buddha were forsaken by all their friends, followers and disciples. This is a strange world. Mysterious is maya (illusion)!
Real affection can be found in God and sages only. Worldly affection is only showy, hypocritical, illusory and changing. Just see whether your relatives, even your friends, your brothers and sisters show affection to you when you are unemployed, when you are suffering from a chronic, incurable disease and are without any money in your hands.
Saints and prophets who have realised God are shouting at the tops of their voices that the Lord is dwelling in the hearts of beings, and yet no one is earnestly attempting to make a vigorous search in his own heart. Is this not lamentable? God is above below, within, without and all around. Thirst for his darshan (vision). Look within, practise introvision. Try earnestly to attain the immortal being. In Him, you can find eternal peace. Enter His kingdom right now in this very second. Stand firm on the rock of truth or Brahman. Have a firm grip of your reality, the self­luminous, immortal Atman or soul. Look upon this universe as your all-full form. Only when knowledge of the Self dawns in your heart can you free yourself from rebirth and become identical with the Supreme Self. Equip yourself with the four means. Hear the shrutis (scriptures), reflect, meditate and realise. May you become a sage!
