MARY MAGDALENE: How Enlightenment Relates To Ascension

Part 5 of a Message

Question: “What does a being who reaches enlightenment do after they pass away from this earth? What is their experience then?

 

Mary Magdalene: I thank you for this question. I think many people have wondered what enlightenment is and what happens to people once they reach the state of enlightenment.

 

From my point of view, enlightenment is perhaps slightly misleading as a term. I think it may give people the idea that enlightenment is one thing, one state, or one transition that happens for people. It suggests that you have either gone through that transition or you have not.

 

I see it somewhat differently. I believe what most people in the third dimension are referencing when they talk about enlightenment is the process beings go through in stabilizing at a higher consciousness and realizing, to varying extents, higher dimensions. I don’t see this as just one thing. I see this as a progression, or you might say a continuum, where people are growing and continuously moving forward in their expansion into higher states of consciousness. With that, they are growing and moving in their ability to experience higher dimensions. Over time, they don’t just experience those higher dimensions, but eventually stabilize at a particular dimension. Then that higher dimension becomes the primary dimension they are living from. It’s what you might call their new base or reality.

 

What this suggests, from my point of view, is a process, rather than one specific event or moment. In referring to enlightenment, people may be referring to different steps along the way of this process. They might be referring to people who are at varying states of higher consciousness and realizing higher dimensions of being.

 

I sometimes refer to these higher states as the fourth dimension, fifth dimension, sixth dimension… There are different qualities to each of these dimensions. What people identify as someone being enlightened references the experiences people have at those different dimensions. This was described in much greater detail in the book,Mary Magdalene Beckons. I don’t want to repeat that now. But that is another place where you can find more information about what people experience in different dimensions.

 

Relative to what happens after death, it depends on what the person’s consciousness is. In general, from the third dimension people go into an after-death state that is in the fourth dimension. But if people are at a higher level of consciousness, it is possible that they would go into a state that is beyond the fourth dimension after death.

 

It is good to be aware that you can’t always judge (Mary laughs) your own consciousness, let alone someone else’s consciousness. It may be that people are actually operating at higher levels than you may guess by the life experiences they’re having, or even by the choices they’re making, the actions that they’re taking, or the kind of thoughts they’re thinking. It is not as simplistic as sometimes people in the third dimension tend to imagine. There can be reasons why someone would come to the third dimension to have specific experiences, which you might think of as lower experiences. And yet, they may be a very evolved being. They may be very far along their path and simply need these experiences for something very specific for their growth.

 

Sometimes people come into this world to support processes that are larger than themselves. To do that, they may have taken on certain agreements to do certain things or to make certain things possible. Some of those things may appear negative, from your point of view. But from a larger understanding, it may support a movement forward for specific individuals, or even perhaps for very large groups of individuals.

 

I urge you to be cautious, to be really aware, and to bring your highest perspective and wisdom to thinking that “This person is enlightened,” or “This person isn’t,” or “This person is on their path,” or “This person isn’t”… Or your thoughts may be very personal: “I’m on my path” or “I’m not” or “I’m doing well,” or “I’m not doing well,” or whatever. Having those kinds of thoughts can be an impediment to you being on your path.

 

Ultimately everyone’s path is about uniting with God, bringing light and love, and fulfilling your soul purpose. At some level, you all know what your soul purpose is. Generally that knowing is not at the same level as your thinking mind. Sometimes your thinking mind can be an impediment to your fullest connection with your soul purpose.

 

I hope that that has answered your question. I think it is a very valuable question, for you and hopefully for many people. So thank you very much.

 

I sense that we are coming to a closure for our time together for now. I thank you all. I thank you for doing the work that you’re doing, for being the beacons of light that you are, for bringing the love that you bring into the world. It is all so important. I bless you. I bring my light and love to you. And I am honored to participate with you in this way.

 

With that, I close for now. I AM Mary Magdalene.
