Blessings dear one,

Hello my dear. I am going to address this to you, because there is so much you have been going through, which I wish to respond to. But it will also be beneficial to so many to hear this, because what you are going through is not unique to you. Many are going through very similar things at this time. So this will be helpful to those others who find themselves experiencing related or close things.

As always, my first response to you is how well you are doing. This may seem repetitious to you, but it is so important for you to hear this, especially when you are going through difficulties. It is very easy to forget, in the midst of the third dimension, what the big picture is. In fact, it is very difficult to see it, and often what is going on is not clear or accessible to you, especially at the time it is happening. So this is why I always remind you of how I see you and how I see your responses to what is happening. As usual, you are doing so very well.

Much of what I want to say is a response and a reflection upon thoughts and questions that you have had. One is that you have wondered if what is happening to you is a purification of your tendency to feel like it is your job to make things happen in a very physical, work-based way. This is very accurate. You are quite a responsible and capable person. You have been able to succeed in your life in many ways through your detailed, concerted, and complete efforts applied to whatever enterprise you embark upon. But now it is time for you to let go of that old way of accomplishing things. You are being called to make space for higher forces to do their work, through you and through your life.

This is really a part of you that is becoming activated, a higher part. It is not as through you are giving yourself over to something outside of yourself, through it may feel like that at first because you are not yet used to this new part of yourself. Rather, you are opening to a higher version of yourself. This higher version does things in a different way. It is not so effortful, hard, or work-oriented. It is much more of a process of allowing the forces of the universe to flow through you to manifest what is called for. This is very much a part of the process of manifestation that so many people are attracted to. But the process works differently than most understand.

Many people are sensing that there is a higher way available for creating and manifesting, even in your world. It is possible at the third-dimension, but it is really based in higher-dimensional capabilities, beginning with the fourth dimension. But many people are still trying to do this in a third-dimensional way, using their willpower and effortful force. This is why so many feel frustrated with their efforts to engage the process of manifestation and are discouraged, feeling that it doesn’t work for them.

What they must understand is that the basis of manifestation is opening to the higher-dimensional part of yourself, which will naturally allow these higher frequencies and capabilities to become activated. This is the process that is occurring for you. You are finding that your work is becoming less about “making” things happen and more about making space for them to happen. And you are doing two very important things that support this.

The first is that you are meditating daily, which is strengthening your connection to the fourth dimension. It is strengthening your being’s abilities to reside in that dimension, to operate from that dimension, and to awaken the capabilities that are available to you in that dimension. It’s awakening your attraction to all of this, so that without you having to “do” anything in particular, your being is gravitating to the fourth dimension more and more, often without you even realizing it. It is simply becoming the place that you reside in and operate from on an increasing basis.

The other thing that you are doing, which is supporting the process of manifestation, is that you are having more fun. This is so important! The fourth dimension is a very pleasurable place, especially compared to your third-dimensional world. Actually, to be more specific and accurate, I should say the higher octaves of the fourth dimension are a very pleasurable place. This is the part of the fourth dimension that those of you on the spiritual path are accessing. And what helps you to access it, while you are still experiencing the third dimension, is pleasure and fun and joy.

This is a secret that most people in your world don’t realize. Even many on the spiritual path still have the idea that spiritual work is difficult, ascetic, demanding, removed from pleasure, and certainly removed from fun. But this is an incorrect perspective. It is a third-dimensional perspective, and sadly one that keeps you bound to the third dimension. In order to break free of the third-dimension and it’s binding limitations, one of the things you will need is to become founded in fun, pleasure, and joy.

Some of you have the idea that becoming founded in these things will lead you to a life of indulgence and self-debasement. But this is not so, as long as you are balanced and bringing all your faculties into play, including your adult-developed judgment and wisdom. It is not really pleasurable or fun or joyful to engage in things that hurt you or deplete your life-force. It is truly fun, pleasurable, and joyful to do things that support your fullest life-energy and engagement in life. This is what ultimately allows people to go beyond the third dimensional trap of things such as addictions.

Most people that are involved in addictions are both seeking the release that the higher dimensions provide (an experience that your soul still remembers) while also seeking to avoid pain. But avoiding pain is not truly fun, pleasurable, and joyful. Embracing pain with the wisdom and tools I have given is actually pleasurable and joyful. You will even come to see it as fun at a certain point, once you overcome your fear of engaging this process and become confident in attaining the beautiful states that embracing pain leads you to. Most of you are not fully there yet, but are in process with coming to this understanding and realization. At that stage, you will begin to actually see embracing pain as fun. But by then, your perception of fun will have enlarged greatly. You will see anything as fun that increases your life-energy, your vital connection to life via your heart and higher mind. And by then, your capabilities to come from your heart and higher mind will be greatly increased, so that you will be experiencing a much greater preponderance of light in your life, and this will most certainly be fun for you.

At your current stage, it is actually very helpful and supportive that you are choosing to have more fun in your life, whether it is by involving yourself in a movie, a TV series, a book, by going dancing, by walking in nature, by engaging in physical closeness with friends or loved ones, by pampering yourself physically, by eating good foods—really it is all about learning to listen to your body and feelings and let that guide you. This is actually a very deep, moment-to-moment process, an ongoing meditation throughout your life of inner listening. Your body and feelings are your guide, along with whatever higher guidance you are in touch with, in directing you in this meditation. If you do this, you will be led to much more fun and pleasure.

You have seen this happening in your life. You are feeling somewhat surprised, even amazed, because you are spending less time “working,” more time having fun, and watching as more is getting accomplished. You are even more surprised because this is happening in the midst of you having emotional and physical difficulties. What you need to understand is that those emotional and physical difficulties are a result of the process of peeling back your pattern of working by effort, will, and physical drive. The release of that old pattern is being evidenced by these symptoms of purification. It’s also being evidenced by the new pattern coming in, where more and more is being accomplished with ease and seemingly little effort and work on your part.

In your case, this is happening quickly, because you have laid the groundwork for this through your tremendous responsibility and spiritual development and commitment. You are completely primed and ready for this shift to happen. The symptoms of purification are actually quite minor, as you shed this third-dimensional “skin” of your old approach to manifestation—a brief emotional outpouring, like popping a pimple and releasing the old energies, or a relatively brief physical malady. Of course these are unpleasant in the moment, as well as often being confusing. Ride the waves and trust the process. All is in perfect order and you are flowing with it in the best possible way. Trust, allow, let go. All is well. And beyond that, enjoy!  Life is meant to be enjoyed, and that will only amplify the wonderful life-purpose that you have come to fulfill and which you are so well underway with.

Thank you for all that you are doing, for your tremendous commitment and the faith and trust that you continually demonstrate, even by persevering on this path through all the shadows and light. You are well-guided, not only by me and others, but most importantly by yourself. You are growing into the divinity that you are and more and more that will be the divinity that you recognize and turn to. Such is the nature of non-separation. You are not separate from, or other than, God. You are on a grand path of reawakening to this truth and understanding.

I love you and shower you with blessings. I reach out to you in greatest love and honor you and your beautiful divine nature.

Your sister in love and light,

Mary Magdalene
