The Missing Person On Your Christmas List

December 9, 2009

My question for Yeoshua and Mary Magdalene: What would you have us know about helping others during this holiday season? I see people with cardboard signs alongside me at street lights and I’m not sure I’m helping them by giving them money so I don’t. How do we know who to give to and where to give so that we can help out our fellow human beings?

Hold out your hand to another in need...

Yeoshua: This is a good question. Many of you have become jaded by seeing all of these people with their hands out. These, for the most part, are not the people who really need your help. There are many brave souls who try to make it on their own with no one’s help. It is these people who truly need a helping hand. They are trying on their own merits to make it in this world and the helping hand up is better than a hand out.

So, a homeless shelter is a good place to start. Buy some blankets, hats, tube socks, gloves, scarves, hooded sweatshirts, and head down to the nearest shelter and hand them over or hand them out yourself. Prepare grooming kits with toothbrushes and toothpaste and a hairbrush. Create some sack lunches if the homeless shelter allows this. Or just work in the soup kitchen. Help out however you can. Involve your children. Show them that the way of God is to help others in need. We have heard too many stories of those people willing to take handouts who don’t really need it. There are many, especially right now, who do need it. For those of you who can spare a few dollars this Christmas, buy a few supplies and drop them off. You will feel lighter of heart just knowing that you helped someone. Make sure your Christmas list includes the unknown man, woman, or child who is hurting and needs your helping hand.

Bring supplies to a homeless shelter...

Mary Magdalene: There are many children living below the poverty level in this country and I know that is difficult for many of you to believe but it’s true. Check out your local shelter and you will see children there. Averting your eyes from this does not solve the problem. These are people who were living on their own but due to the loss of a job or a car breaking down or a medical bill, they could no longer make it work financially. Many are hard-working people and many have kids. Go to a toy store and buy an extra toy for a child this season. You’ll be glad you did. And don’t forget the older kids—there are many pre-teens and teenagers who will have a bleak Christmas without your help. Take a few minutes to help a stranger. What goes around comes around as they say. It’s called karma. Namasté.

The Art of Question and Answer

October 26, 2009

I had a response from a fellow blogger who wanted to know the following:
“The Second Coming really interested me particularly, with all the talk re: 2012 going on in the public sphere. But I find myself a little resistant to talk of a ‘new age’ because there are so many on the ‘Christian Right talking in these terms too, in a Left Behind/Revelations/Hellfire kind of way. Since I view the human realm as this place we can experience so many different kinds of things, both ‘good’ and ‘bad’,’pleasurable’ and ‘challenging’ I find I always feel some resistance to the idea that the world has to evolve to a certain new place, because it makes it sound like everyone has to toe a certain line, or be a certain way, or believe in a certain religion, or political philosophy, etc…At the same time I realize that we have hit the point where just to survive as a species we have to change in some fundamental ways…but religion has all too often been a stumbling block to that, instead of an aid…So I am wondering if you have spoken to Mary/Yeoshua re: this…”

The answer is to question...

Yeoshua: Yes, you have many questions in here. There is much doubt and questioning here and this is good. You should be questioning what you have been taught and what has been conversed about in regards to 2012. There is much to be sorted out. Yes, organized religions have their own well-developed concept of what will happen but the actual transformation has already begun. It is slow and organic and microscopic on some levels. There will be no giant transition to this ‘new age.’ This transition is slow and steady and involves a human awakening through baby steps. There will still be things that are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ and ‘pleasurable’ and ‘challenging’ through this entire transformation and beyond. It is more of a knowing and awakening to the process of being human.

We will understand better how our actions effect others. We will understand better the things we cannot see or measure currently. We will understand better the laws of cause and effect and karma. We will grow and expand our consciousness so that we feel more like ‘one’ rather than a planet full of individuals. We have already seen some growth in this regard.

The Internet is a giant piece of this global consciousness and we are so happy to support people like yourself who are engaging people in spiritual discussions and questioning what has been taught and assumed to be true for so long in ‘organized religions.’ We want you to question and doubt and come up with new ideas of your own. We want you to create your own understanding of this world. Use your own intuition and insight to create your own understanding. The time of having experts dictate to you what you should believe to be true is over.

It is now the time of intuition and journeying into the unknown to find your own meaning. Does this make sense? I hope so. You are well on your way. Namaste.

Mary Magdalene: I hope Yeoshua has answered your question. I believe he has but I will add this. Religion has been a stumbling block for humans to gain this global consciousness perspective that we are desperate for everyone to gain. The organized religions place themselves as the experts but this does not work anymore. Any experts will be taken down by a scandal or negative behaviors and all of their integrity and believability is lost. So the message they wished to share also gets lost and buried in a sea of controversy. This is the old way. The new way is finding your inner voice or intuition and then following it every day.

Follow it and question every belief you have to see what remains true for you right now in this moment. Maybe what I am saying to you does not ring true for you. That is OK. It is OK for you to be exposed to things that you totally don’t believe in because it will make you question what you do believe. Sometimes, the only way to understand what you do believe is through this process of saying, “No, I definitely don’t believe that or that or that.” That can work.

Most of all during this time, we want you to question and use your heart to find what feels right and true to you. This is our deepest desire for you and the others who are seeking answers during this time. Namaste, Mary.

Me, Mary Magdalene, and the Tea

October 18, 2009

This post is written by me, Melinda. It’s not channeled. I just wanted to share an experience I had with Mary Magdalene last week.

I had a really bad cold and cough. It’s the one that is just making the rounds right now. I was doing my meditation and Mary Magdalene, my spirit guide, started chiding me.

She asked me, “How come you listen to me about spiritual stuff and advice about your career and relationships but you never ask me for advice that concerns your body?”

“Wow,” I said to myself. “I’m not sure. I know you give great advice to others who ask for information about their health and you recommend all these great herbs that I’ve never heard of. I don’t know why. OK–I’ll start now. What can I do to help alleviate this cough?”

Healing with tea...

“Go the nearest health food store like Henry’s and buy Licorice Root Tea. Take it several times a day. It will help heal other things for you besides your cough.”

I said, “OK. I’ll do that.”

First things first, I know nothing about herbs. I mean nothing. So, the first thing I did was Google “licorice root tea” to see what medicinal purposes it had. I was amazed! Here is what is said at http://coffeetea.about.com/od/herbaltea/p/licorice.htm:

Health Benefits of Licorice:

Relieves coughs and sore throats
Improves digestion
Eases menstrual cramps
Believes to increase libido
Reduces seasonal allergies and congestion

I was impressed. I really shouldn’t be because I’ve done this before when Mary Magdalene has given other people herbs to ease their health conditions and been completely right on. But somehow, this was different because it was me. I felt a bit like a fool for even doubting that it would be perfect. Not only was Licorice Root Tea good for coughs and sore throats, but it also helped my digestion and congestion. It couldn’t have been a better fit for me.

I procrastinated on going to the store and waited a whole 24 hours so I ended up coughing a lot and was awake for several hours that night. Mary Magdalene chided me again to get the tea. So, next day, I show up at Henry’s looking for this tea. I’m not sure what I’m looking for. Is it a tincture or dropper thing of licorice root or pills that I put in a tea? I started asking to be guided at the store to what I needed. I found a dropper thing of licorice root and picked that up but was then guided down another aisle. Oh, look, the tea aisle. Sure enough, right there on the shelf is a box of Licorice Root Tea in tea packets ready to use. Wow! That is sooooo cool, I thought to myself. I didn’t know it actually came in packets.

To make a long story short, not only did the tea really help my cough disappear but it tasted really good too. My cough was gone within a day or two. I have to thank Mary Magdalene for this suggestion. She was right on. I’m thinking about asking her for suggestions on losing weight next but I have to make sure I’m ready to follow it up with action or she’ll get on me again. ;>)

In love and light,

Melinda
