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.

Melinda, thank you so much for asking this, and to Yeoshua and Mary for their answers. I have been thinking a lot about 2012 and a lot of the theories around the ‘new age’ to come since asking this question, and even as I read their answers I can feel certain resistances in me loosening. I will continue to question, just as they say, and perhaps I will post on this theme myself someday.
It’s interesting to me that I felt myself drawn to post a question to them through you, and that I have now received an answer, because I have been resistant to the idea of channeling in the past - believing it dangerous, etc. based on teachings I was given when I as younger. It seems this also is part of the questioning of assumptions process for me, and is opening me up to new experiences in this way, so thanks! XOXO Lisa (and yes you can link if you want, although I suppose people will probably just see this comment too.)
I’m so glad you found this post interesting. I love that you are opening up yourself to new experiences. That’s great.
love and light to you,
Melinda
Melinda, found your blog through Mommy Mystic. Many people are journeying and becoming more consciously aware of their journey. As we realize we are energy, we are everyone, everywhere, we can choose to feel all emotion and respond to each situation from different points of view. This is part of the process of expansion and embracing what is.
Liara–I totally agree. I can only hope that more and more people are opening up and questioning everything. This is the way to consciously expand. Thanks for posting.
