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. So here is the first question I received.

Question: I was brought up Catholic and now feel as if I am more Spiritual than anything else. I have 2 boys that I want to raise with a great sense of Spirituality, but feel as if I need to give them some religion as a foundation. I struggle as the closest thing to the way you and Jesus taught is Catholicism. When will there be more churches, or places to gather much like a Christian faith does today, where your messages that have been hidden are open for families like mine? I want so much to attend a church that has beautiful traditions and rites of passage like Catholicism, but the message is open and encompassing.

We are each a drop of water in the ocean called God.

Mary Magdalene: It is so important right now to fill our children’s minds with the potentialities of building the kingdom of heaven within. We are all divine and we are all on our path to reveal this divinity and bring it into the light. This is why we are here. Remember this as you instruct and care for your children. They know this from birth onward but then we teach them other things and they forget. Remind them of their own divinity. Teach them that we are all connected. It is as if we are each a drop of water in a giant sea. We are individuals but still part of the whole. And that whole is called God. We are not separate. WE never were. WE only perceived ourselves to be separate. Separateness leads to fear and anger and hatred and war. We do not want this for our children.

So it is simple, I say. Teach them that we are one. What we give to our neighbor, we also give to ourselves. So choose your gifts with care. The principles of love and peace and oneness are quite simple. There is no need for a physical church or religion to share these principles with your children. They know these things—you are just simply helping them to re-member.

My suggestion is to find books, stories, and movies that embrace these ideals. We learn much from stories. Then discuss them with your children. Take them to see art that inspires them. Help them to create art in whatever form they like—clay, drawing, painting, music, Legos, etc. Help them to feel their interconnectedness with everything and everyone around them. This will help them on their journey forward.

There is much to be said for a like-minded community as well. I understand this more than anyone. The coming together of people in sacred space is an amazing feeling. But you must be attracted to the energy of the community so here is what I suggest. Try several different churches or community groups and check in with your body and see how it feels. Is your body open and relaxed or tight with tension? Women most often feel first with their bodies. Then check in with your intuition and see what it says about returning to that community. Pray for the right community to come into your path and give thanks for it in advance. Know that this will be the right place for you and your children and you will find much compassion, camaraderie, and inspiration there.

When we tune into our own intuition, we create the kingdom of heaven within and this kingdom is not a lonely place but is in fact filled with beautiful loving people who are in the same energy vibration as you. Know this and give thanks that this is coming to you quickly and easily and it will. God bless you on your journey. God bless your children. They are lucky to have a mother who cares so much about their spirituality. Namaste.
