Isis: The Temples of Isis and the Black Madonna

Question: Could you share your history with us—if you had an incarnation on this planet or if you have a soul fragment on this planet? I’ve heard about the temples of Isis. Were a lot of women related with your temple and can you share what they were doing with you at the temple of Isis?

 

Isis: Thank you so much. I am most happy to respond to this question.

 

I have not had an incarnation on the Earth plane. I operate through the higher levels into the Earth plane, from my incarnations in Venus and, through Venus, going back to Sirius.

 

There have been many temples of Isis and many beings associated with them—not only women, also men—although there were many more women who were involved. The majority of those men and women were connected with me through Venus and through Sirius, and know me very well as part of the greater soul group that we are all a part of. But they chose to come and incarnate on the Earth plane. So we maintain our very strong connection through the form of the temple.

 

Really that is what a temple is, more than anything. It is a soul group coming together. It is not the physical structure so much as the living energy of a soul group and their spiritual purpose on Earth, and even beyond Earth. Our soul group is very much focused on the qualities of the Divine Feminine in union with the Divine Masculine. In some ways, the purpose is more about manifesting the Divine Feminine, so that it can be in union with the Divine Masculine.

 

So that was always the purpose in the temples and it took many forms. It took the form of blessing the Earth, honoring the Earth. It took the form of blessing fertility and creation, in terms of plant life, animal life, food for all beings, human birth and fertility and supporting that process, and raising young beings into maturity. It took the form of healing work, of care and love for the physical and the other bodies as well—healing the emotional, the etheric, the mental, the spiritual. It took the form of Sacred Sexuality as a manifestation of a powerful avenue for connecting with God. And it took the form of ritual and ceremony—ways of connecting with God that are more expressive of the Divine Feminine. Whereas the Divine Masculine tends to be expressed through practices that are often exemplified by the monastic life—silence, meditation, disciplines—the Feminine is more characterized by compassion, love, joy, and energy expressions.

 

There were also the mystery schools that were connected with the temples. The mystery schools were especially devoted to the understanding, expression, and development of what you might call subtler energy features that human beings are able to access and work with. These are things like your chakra system and the energy that runs through your spine. There are also higher states of energy that can be accessed, which are associated with higher dimensions and abilities in the higher dimensions that you do not, in general, possess at the third dimension.

 

Some of these abilities have been called “magic,” and perhaps that is a way that you can understand what is being talked about. You may be more familiar with that term than the way it was described more commonly in the temples of Isis. It refers to the same thing. In the temples, we only used these powers and abilities for the highest good—for blessing, for connection with God, and doing God’s work.

 

Question: There’s so much going on in ourselves, our home, our community, our work, and also in our government, where there’s such a breakdown in polarity. I was wondering if you could say something about the breakdown in polarity and how we can assist. What would that look like?

 

Isis: You must understand that the old way is dying. Much of what you see is the death process, or the resistance to the death process. There is not that much that you can do, just as when you see an individual dying. They are on their path. You can bring your blessings. This is true of any circumstance—you can always bring your blessings. But in some ways, because of the ways that power has been manipulated in the past, the old forms have drawn their energy, their food source from your attention. If you continue to give them attention, you will continue to feed them. This will actually prolong this death process, as opposed to allowing it to take its more natural course.

 

I would encourage you to allow the old way to die. The best way to do that is to not feed it. Do not give it energy. Instead, focus on yourself, first and foremost. Focus on what you need and what is supporting you. Focus on the birth that is happening through you. There is an amazing birth happening right now. Do not miss it! (Isis laughs) Stay aware of that birth. That is what needs your life energy. It is happening in you. And it is going to be happening between you, in your connections with one another. It is not going to happen because some great leader is going to step forth and lead a charge into the new age. (Isis laughs again) It is happening just the way birth happens, one being at a time.

 

This birth is going to happen in the way a mother loves a child that comes in—through your heart and your body and your energy. That is why the Divine Feminine is so important right now. This is why your thoughts are going to have very little to do with it. For the most part, you don’t have to use your thoughts when you’re in the birth process. Occasionally there are times when that is most valuable, if there is help that is needed, or change, or whatever. But for the most part, your body knows what to do, your heart knows what to do, your energy knows what to do. That is what you can do. That is what will support this shift more than anything.

 

You have no idea how powerful you are. Sadly, access to your power has been held back for so long. There have been these institutions, these bodies that have supported the idea that you are not powerful, that there’s nothing you can do. That is almost the exact opposite of what’s the truth. You are so powerful and there is everything that you can do. In fact, it all rests with the individuals. This is part of the great shift in consciousness that you are going through right now. One by one you are awakening to this, like light bulbs suddenly turning on—realizing your power, realizing your strength, realizing that the power is not with these structures, these organizations, these institutions, these bodies. They are only as powerful as the power you give them. The way you take your power back is simply to withdraw your attention from those structures and bring your attention back to yourself.

 

And when they are affecting you, speak! Shout! Shout your “NO!”—that you will not allow that. Show them the strength of your body and your emotions and your voice. Be the strong Feminine that you are! You are powerful! (quietly) And you are going to discover it.

 

Question: I used to think I had to control thought, somewhat like someone who’s into gambling would control gambling. It hit me that I just have to let it go completely, not just be able to control my brain and not think when I meditate. But it’s hard for me to let that go and I’m not sure if I’m on the right path.

 

Isis: It is not necessary that you let go of thought. But it is necessary that you let go of control of thought. Controlling thought takes tremendous energy and will distract you from your higher work. For most of you, the way that you can let go of control of thought is through a choice to do so. But then you will often find that you are deluged with thoughts.

 

What you are called to do is to bring yourself to stillness. The way that you do this is through your heart, through connecting with your heart. This is what will calm the thoughts. It is also what will open you to your higher mind. Then that energy that was previously generating thought will, more and more, feed your higher mind. You will not be having this kind of lower mind activity. So it is well that you are letting go of control of thought. The idea of it being beneficial to control thought is a misunderstanding.

 

You cannot solve thought with thought.  The heart is higher. But to be in your heart, you must do the foundation work. That work is what Mary Magdalene is bringing forth. It is through your emotion, your feeling, your energy, your body. If you have not done that work, you will not be able to stay in your heart. And then you will be dominated by thought. So the work is not with thought. It is with your heart and the foundation practices that allow you to be in your heart.  If you are not clear about those practices, it would be well to study this. The book that Mary Magdalene has brought through, via Mercedes, is an excellent form of that study. This is a very serious process—serious, not in the terms of weighty or heavy, but real.

 

You actually need to learn this because most of you have been disenfranchised. You had these abilities when you came in as a baby. But one way or another, most of you were trained out of it. And it is greatly impairing you. It is very real that you need to connect with this. You are not going to be able to bypass it. These steps are real and necessary. If you want to grow, it is imperative that you take yourself to school. If need be, find help. Find a teacher. Find a guide. Whatever is necessary, this transformation must occur.

 

Question: I find that I’m being very drawn to the black Madonna. From what I understand, there’s a lot of written information that talks about your connection with the black Madonna. Could you explain about that?

 

Isis: The Black Madonna was part of the inner school, the mystery secrets within the temple. It was a representation of the higher powers that were developed through the temple practices and training. Those powers had the possibility to be used for what you might call “dark” or “light.” But it was the power of the Feminine. Just as the moon is the dark energy to the sun, the Black Madonna was the power of the Feminine. And it includes the power of energy. It’s an enormous power, a sacred practice.

 

The Black Madonna was held with great love, great honoring, great respect, great reverence for the power of the Feminine and the use of it. Those who were schooled and understood those powers and practices often find, as they come back into incarnation once again, that they’re drawn to this icon, this symbol of the Feminine, in the form of the Black Madonna. If you find that draw within yourself, it is a sign that you are one of those who were schooled in this way.

 

Now I sense it is time for us to close. I have tears of joy being with you. I love you so much. You are so precious. The work you are doing as beings of God, beings of love and light is so extremely valuable. Thank you to each and every one of you. You are dear to my heart.

 

Now I leave you with great love. Blessings to all of you.

Teacher: The Universal Voice (The Soul Family).
Subject: “The Family of God.”

Received by Chris.

The Universal Voice: “Today we would like to speak about the family of God and the relationship you, as a beloved child, have within this extended family. As humans, you are often fickle as to your assured status in this family, which requires you to constantly be reminded of this connection you have to those who love and care for you behind the veil. It requires great faith on your part to believe that there are many unseen brothers, sisters, guides, teachers, and guardians near you who are devoted to helping you throughout your sojourn on this world – to get the most ‘soul value’ you can from this intense experiential realm. It is not necessary for you to know us all by name, or even that you need special psychic awareness to communicate with us. All that is needed is for you to reach out in faith and ask for what you need and feel this community of family.

“Each one of you reading this message is known and dearly loved by ‘us,’ your family. This message is our way of reminding you of our connection with you. You are reading this now because you asked for a more intimate connection to spirit, to God, and we are answering that request through this message and by many other methods that we can use to remind you that you are not alone. The 11:11 time prompt is only one method we may use to communicate with you through our Midwayer associates. We know you and we are constantly finding new ways to show you that you belong to this extended family.

“Just because you are living in a material body and exist in a realm of lower vibration does not mean you are orphans, for when you transition to your next life station, you will meet many of us, your universe brothers and sisters, who are always here with you. Call on us and say, ‘Family, please help me with this situation,’ or, ‘Send help to my friend in need,’ or, ‘Guide me to a right decision I need to make,’ or simply, ‘Love me, I need your love in this moment, I am hurting, I am lonely.’ We are here for you, cheering you on, as you struggle through this period of intense soul growth.

“Please understand that we really do hear you and we go into action to help you in ways that serve your highest good. That ‘highest good’ is not always recognized by you, because your expectations are sometimes short-sighted, or your desires are not healthy, but when your will is in alignment with the Father, things change very quickly and you may become aware that your family is working on your behalf. Spend time with us in thought and word, like we are traveling with you wherever you go, and we will make ourselves known to you in special ways that you may recognize.

“Each one of you belongs to a group of souls, which are your extended family. There are many here among us who are similar in propensity (vibrational strata) to you and can greatly assist you in your development. As you grow and acquire valuable life experiences, you help the entire family and contribute to the growth of the Supreme, and so it is to our mutual benefit that you are assisted in your spiritual progress.

“Acknowledge us and call on us often to assist you – we love you and want you to know that we are here for you,

“Your Beloved Soul Family.”

Note: It takes a good amount of courage to talk into a microphone not knowing what the next word will be, or writing an ‘essay’ not knowing how the sentence will end. Even more is this the case when we do not yet know the Celestial Teacher or (in this case) this Soul Family. In time, however, we are bound to find out.

Subject:  Lightline Teleconference 2013-05-09
Teacher: Charles, Light
T/R:         Mark Rogers

Prayer on Mother's Day: Divine Parents, Divine maternal parents, at this time I would like to express special appreciation for the effects that we all have felt in our lives of your presence, not only your presence Divine Mother, but your sustaining nurturing qualities which has not only brought us life but has supplied us with everything we have had need of in this life. All that is required to sustain us in this mortal experience has been provided in your womb. You have encompassed us with your love and just as the newborn, we are slow to recognize the distinction between us and you for we have been surrounded by you, we are surrounded by you. Every breath we take is a gift that you give us, every sustenance we take in has been provided by you. We are so very grateful for this comfortable womb that you have given us in this life, for all that you have made possible by virtue of your guardianship over us. May we grow in appreciation of the relationship we have with you in this process. May we come to understand the relationship you have bestowed upon us throughout this process and may we always show our appreciation and love in return for all you have given us and made possible for us in this life. May we be a tribute to your love, may we be a manifestation of your grace, may we be an example of your peace, the peace that we feel in our quiet, in our feeling of being connected to you. You are our Mother, you have given us life and nurtured us to a point of awareness where we may be on our own and start out on our eternal journey apart and separate from you. But let us never forget this relationship. Let us always take you with us to journey wherever we will go. Let us remember to give you a part, a place in our experience so that you may enjoy this life that you have provided and nurtured [us in]. Let it be so in consciousness and awareness, now and forever as we ...Thank you are very small words but our appreciation is so very great. Let us show you this in the course of our lives and our journey, thank you.

Charles: Good evening friends, I am most honored to join this lively discussion here this evening, I am Charles. It is my distinct pleasure and privilege to be humbled by this tribute to such a presence as has been with you since your very beginning. Indeed, this gesture you make to bring recognition and appreciation to your Divine Parent is touching and heartwarming because it embodies all that is good and great about the relationship of parent and child, of the adult to the beginning child. There is something extraordinary which happens in such a relationship, a bond which is enduring beyond time or space; it is truly one of the things you will take with you always.

One never forgets their parent. One always has a certain appreciation for the role of the parent in their lives who has ushered them into this life and nurtured them to the point of maturity and prepared this life for such joyous encounters. Indeed, you could not ask for a more loving parent, one who is willing to give more of themselves, for this parent has given you all that you are, all that you have and has sent you out on this journey to become all that you can become with such great blessings. I understand that from the mortal perspective there are many times when you feel isolated, you feel challenged, you feel defeated, you feel in a state of unawareness or uncertainty. Trust me when I say that this is part of the experience by design, part of the ride that you are enjoying at this point so that you may bring to yourself these challenges and face these experiences and come to reconcile for yourselves how all these things fit together in the end. 

Yes, there is frustration, yes there is disappointment, yes there is sadness, but side by side with these things there is joy, there is gratitude, there is success, there is peace. But as part of the mortal condition I observe, it is so easy to be overwhelmed with the things which don't appear to reconcile themselves in your equation, which don't appear to fit in the grand scheme of your awareness. These are great challenges to you because having settled on a perspective and a viewpoint, one would like to believe that others would share it, acknowledge it and join it with you. But, you have had, each one, an individual taste of what reality is, of what is true, good and beautiful. Each one of you have defined it in your own terms and have structured your understanding around this awareness so that when other views and manifestations are different from yours, there is great cause for unsettling in your thought patterns.

Yes, it may very well be at times you feel you need to disassociate, to withdraw, and this is normal and natural to restructure your own awareness and to reconcile all the vast differences and distinctions that surround you. In the end you will most certainly find that the only true reconciliation is to hold fast to your faith and be willing to extend faith into the areas which seem in discord or disharmony, realizing that something there exists for a reason, something there has attributes of truth, beauty and goodness in it which may be hard to identify, which may be difficult to accept, which may be challenging to embrace but nevertheless, in this life, as a mortal of the realm, there will be all manner and degrees and shades and representations of imperfection for this is an imperfect life. No one in this life is a perfected being, has all the answers and is right, true, good and beautiful at all times. 

This life is not designed for such an existence. This life is a life of contrasts, a life of choosing, a life of determining for yourselves what truth, beauty and goodness look like, act like and feel like. This is actually your privilege if not your pleasure. You get to decide amongst all the aspects represented before you, which ones you will embrace, which ones you will adopt, which ones you will reject and which ones resonate with you. In this way you get to gather to yourself your version of the most true, beautiful and good aspects that you can assemble.

This defines you, it does not define all those things around you that you judge. It defines who you are by virtue of what you accept, what you reject, what you embrace and what you recoil from. This is your opportunity in this life to assemble those things you think are closest to true, beautiful and good. But to those who are truly wise and aware, they will understand that all other aspects out there, all aspects, are representations, are fragments of the whole. Some may be judged as further away from divine aspects and some closer, but these calls are for you to make in this life, for you to exercise in this existence. 

That is why you have so many different versions of individual convictions, each one believing that they are true, that they are right, that they are correct. There is not one overarching truth that may be argued and defended beyond reproach. There are varying degrees of truth in all aspects and none among you may claim to have the one source of truth, but all among you have the path to truth, have the road to truth. All of you have an onboard partner who may help you bridge the gap, who may help steer you in a more divine direction at each turn. This is also yours as a gift of grace from your Divine Parents.

And so it is that you live this life as a mortal, struggling to define yourself by your choices and struggling to have connections to higher truth and higher values which then redefine your choices, which then propel you to seek for divine truth. This is the plan in motion, the whole design, set and purpose. When you are seeking for the truth, you do find it, and when you find it there is a greater desire to seek. In this way you are propelled from this life of limitation and circumstance and observation into a life of spiritual awareness where values may be attained in the most common of circumstances.

I understand that the struggle of mortal life is not an easy one. It was not designed to be easy, rather, it was designed to be fulfilling and challenging and all of you have risen to this challenge, have stared opportunity in the face, have accepted this challenge and embraced the opportunity that is inherent in these challenges. I call you all to witness that as a result, you have all benefitted and grown and become more. So while this life may seem hard and challenging, you will see it one day as one of your greatest gifts, as one of your most magnificent opportunities before you.

I pray that to all those with ears to hear, that they may hear, and all those with faith to follow the path may be emboldened to strike out and move forward with conviction and purpose knowing that to do so is to bring your Parents such great reward to see their children move forward in faith and with conviction in the goodness of the plan, even if the definition of the plan remains so uncertain. Trust in the goodness, trust in the purpose and trust in your relationship to all of this and you cannot go wrong, you do not go wrong. Everything that you may judge has a shortcoming or a failure. These are your lessons, these are what you are here to garnish to yourselves, how you would do it better, what you would do next time, what you learned from the experience, these can only be had by undergoing these experiences.

And so these jewels that you gather to yourself of experience, will all be seen for what they are, as shining glorious jewels, not as failures, shortcomings or misunderstandings. They were the fulcrum, they are the tools that are used to bring you to the awareness towards perfection and will unerringly bring you to success if you simply will engage with the process and trust that this process is bringing you in the direction of divinity.

I cherish the opportunity to bring you these words of encouragement. I wish they could nurture you as your Divine Parents nurture you. I wish they could provide for you the peace and the comfort that you seek on your journey just as your Divine Parents are always there to bring these attributes to you, and so I offer these for that purpose; I pray you can accept them with that intention. Now, I would open up the floor for others to access this glorious forum. I thank you for your attention. Be in peace, farewell.

Light: I would bring my greetings to all of you as well, I am Light, here to offer a few more words on light. There is a common phrase on your world that this is a world in darkness, a world somehow shrouded in the dark, that is awaiting the light, is awaiting divine intervention to somehow illuminate all things. When the inhabitants of your world become troubled, it is said that there is a cloud that resides over them and shadows them from the light and when they are freed from this cloud of depression, anxiety and uncertainty it is said that they see the light. This light represents the connection that individuals feel to the greater purpose beyond. That light is a life giving force bestowed upon them which freely shines down upon all. 

And yet, as a mortal of the realm, there are many times when the light is obstructed, when there are clouds interfering, when there are moods interfering, when there are circumstances interfering and it appears as though things fall into shadows and darkness. In shadow and darkness there is uncertainty, there is fear, there is the feeling of being disconnected from the life force, from the light force. This is ingrained deep within the human psyche. Your ancestors worshipped the sun and feared the night. This is resident deep within all mortals on this planet because it is such a graphic illustration of the life giving force that is so appreciated when it is felt, so uplifting when it is observed, that it changes moods, it dispels clouds and it brings individuals into another state of being simply with the recognition of this connection, that there is a gigantic life force which is emanating from afar and penetrating through the universe, even finding its way to you each one as an individual. You can feel it, you can register the change in your own being when the light shines upon you and you are in awareness that above all there is a great force and this great force is providing life and is nurturing you even as it shines down upon you.

So it is with the love of your Divine Parents. It is as the light, it shines upon you, it changes your mood, it lifts you up, it dispels the darkness, the doubt and the uncertainty and brings you to a place of appreciation and connection with the greater power that is out there and around you, so much so that you can feel it, see it and embrace it in your lives. Always remember that your Divine Parent's love is as the sun, predictable, steady, certain and that at all times you may rely on this grace, you may count on this peace. You may rest assured that with each new day there will be another dose for you, another reality check that you are connected to this great power that nurtures you and provides for you in so many ways.

I just offer this illustration for you today, another take on light and its illustration in your lives. May your awareness of spirit be as conscious as your awareness of the life giving force of light. They are one and the same, part of the great picture working together to nurture you and provide for you in this life and as you move forward. They have been instrumental to you, so much so that you can't imagine a life without them, and so you shouldn't. Take them with you as you go through your journey as sources of strength and peace and love. Always remember that these things were there for you. You need not have asked or petitioned the universe [for this] light. It was created for you. Likewise, you need not ask or petition for the love of your Divine Parents, it has been created for you, it exists only for you to come into greater awareness of. 

So be it, another exercise in awareness for you to undertake. Thank you for the opportunity to address you this evening. You all are so dearly loved by your universal family and by your Divine Parents. May you feel the warm embrace of this love in your lives and may you embody this love as part of your being throughout your eternal journey. Let it be so, even now. In gratitude I withdraw, thank you for the opportunity, good day.

Heavenletter #4563 A Garden of Yourself , May 23, 2013 

God said: 

All, all of My children are valiant. I will even call you valiant soldiers. From your vantage, you are all on the front lines. You don’t know what will assail you next.

You think that anger and attack may protect you. That is folly, isn’t it? Anger and attack are no more than bluster. The only art of self-defense that you have is love. Love will blow everything hurtful away. Love is your protector. Love alone saves the day.

You don’t need defense or offense. What you need to do is to open the portholes of your heart. Open those gates. Throw the locks away. Your own good will is the only armor you need. Of course, good will is not armor. Good will opens your heart. With good will, you throw away whatever has restricted you from love. Whatever restricts you from love brings you closer to skirmishes or even war.

I tell you once again, frankly, that when you do stop seeing any supposed other as opposed to you, you break down the Walls of Jericho. When you are in bright sunshine, what possible occasion is there for animosity? Certainly not any of the little things that you may presently project on a big screen. No, no, no, beloveds, listen to Me carefully. From now on, you are to project love for yourself, and how you do that, is to put love before vanity, love before insult, love before hurt feelings, love before animosity, love before everything. I say, “Everything!”

Anything less than love is fool’s gold, you understand this, don’t you? Nothing is to go before love. Love is the leader, and nothing else is. Love doesn’t lead you down the garden path. Garden paths lead you in circles. Garden path means a fool’s Paradise. At the time, you may think it’s smart to undercut what you see as an assailant, yet how you deny yourself.

Why punish yourself because of what you see askance in someone else? That is foolish, isn’t it?

The only course to take is to unlock your heart. Open, open, open a path to the garden of yourself. A garden of yourself is quite different from garden path and being led astray. You know, beloveds, you do know, that the garden path refers to a false idea, or is it ideal? Perhaps both.

Please know that you are on solid footing with Me. I lead you to greener pastures, and that is to greater love. You already contain greater love. You are an endless container of love. Container is not the right word, for love is not to be contained. Love is to reverberate across the entire Universe and to regions you have not even dreamed of. The only vehicle that will take you there to this oasis of oases is love.

If even a tad of love is restricted, it is way too much, yet you have restricted wave after wave of love. You have clamped your love. You have put a vise on it. You have closed the windows to love for fear of one thing or another. Fear is a good blocker, as if any blockage to love could be good.

The new world you are entering is the kingdom within, and you are unhinging it now. You are unlocking your love and tossing away any keys that lock. Now the key to your life is love. Love is going to manage your life from now on. Love alone. Caution thrown to the winds, love on high.
