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...

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...

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

Burden of Debt

October 3, 2009

Here is the third question in this series. I belong to a Yahoo Group that is centered on studying Mary Magdalene and recently I offered the opportunity for them to ask questions of Mary Magdalene or Yeoshua that they wanted answered. Mary wanted me to gift them with this to say thanks for honoring her in their own ways.

Question: When will the burden of debt lift from my shoulders so I can get to the business of my true calling, which I believe is helping others?

Mary Magdalene: There are many on earth right now feeling as you do that you have great burdens of debt upon you. It seems as if you can’t get out from underneath this giant rock. I understand. I would like to open your mind up to a new perspective. It may be difficult at first but here it is. This burden of debt is actually a beautiful gift given to you and created by you. You gave this gift to yourself so you could learn something.

Change your perspective...

Change your perspective...

I implore you to look at this situation as if you are above it or outside of it. Take a third person’s point of view. OK—now if you saw yourself in this situation from afar, what would you think of the situation? Would you see how it all came to be? What choices were made that brought this situation about? What limiting beliefs or feelings of not deserving the great things in life created this situation and continue to keep it in place? What would you tell this woman if you met her on the street and she asked you for advice on her situation?

Only those things brought into the light can be changed.

Only those things brought into the light can be changed.

Accept this situation as a gift. Ask spirit what lessons you are to learn. Ask what limiting beliefs brought this about and then let those beliefs go. There are several ways to do this. Write down every limiting belief you have about finances. Write each one on a separate slip of paper. Think hard and give yourself plenty of time to do this activity. It’s worth it if you want to get out from underneath that rock. Here’s an example:

  • I don’t deserve to get paid well for my work.
  • I don’t deserve to pay all my bills on time and still have money in the bank.
  • I don’t deserve to take a nice vacation every year.

Do you get the picture? Write these all down and even take a couple of days to do it because more ideas will come as you fall asleep or are in the shower. Now, take each one in your hand and stand either in front of the fire or a shredder (please make sure you handle the fire safely if you choose this method), say to yourself, “This is no longer who I am. I choose again.”

Shred the old belief or burn it in the fireplace. Once you have completely destroyed all of the old beliefs, you are ready for the next step. Feel how good it feels to let go of the limits you placed upon yourself from the past. Maybe some of those old beliefs weren’t even yours. Maybe they were from your parents who grew up in the Depression or things your brother or sister said to you. You can let go of them and create something new for yourself now.

Good—so within a few days of the destruction of old beliefs, sit with a fresh piece of paper in front of you and write new beliefs for yourself. Use paper you love and your favorite pen. Burn a candle and play music as you dream your new reality into being. This should be fun and wonderful and new.

Feel the energy of the waterfall brining you abundance...

Feel the energy of the waterfall bringing you abundance...

Examples of new beliefs might include:

  • All of my needs are met abundantly for me now and always.
  • I gratefully accept abundance into my life from this day forwards.
  • The universe is conspiring to fill my life with abundance.
  • I accept and give thanks that every month my bills get paid, my debt decreases, and I still have money in the bank.

I think you get the idea. Write only ones that you feel comfortable with. If they feel too good to be true and you can’t say them out loud after you write them down. Try again and word it in a way that feels more comfortable. As time goes by, you may outgrow even these beliefs and will want to write new ones. That is a good sign that you are on the right path.

Once you have your list of new beliefs about abundance and wealth, tape this to your wall where you can see it every day. Or put it next to your bed so you can read it every morning or every evening. This is an excellent practice and things will shift for you within 7 days. Yes, I said 7 days. You see the underlying principle of all of this is that money is only an expression of energy. As you shift your energy about money, the money around you shifts. Things move in your favor as you send out more positive vibes about money and your relationship with it. This is your life. Start creating it now.

My blessings are with you as I will watch to see you come out from under that rock and into the light. Enjoy the journey! Namaste.
