A
message from Mother Mary
NOTE: This dictation was delivered on April
7, 2007 during the Shangra-la Easter Conference.
The participants had given the Rosary
for Loving Yourself before the dictation.
My beloved hearts, you have earned my Presence
with you, for you have given this rosary with
such love that I desire to share with you the
Presence of the Divine Mother, the Presence
of the nurturing love that truly all of you
have need of. For you have – for a long
time – embodied in a world that is not
only devoid of love but is filled with anti-love.
And so it is impossible to be in this world
without being wounded, without being hurt, by
those who are so trapped in anti-love that they
actually feel threatened by anyone who expresses
love.
And so, when they are exposed to those who express
love, they feel they have to somehow silence
them, beat them down, stop the flow of love
through them, so that they can overcome the
sense of panic that literally makes them believe
they will die if they receive true love.
Recognize that Earth is a planet with much anti-love
And so, my beloved, the view I would give you
is a view that has been expressed in my own
book and in Maitreya's book. But I would express
it in a slightly clearer way. You should look
upon this planet not the way you were brought
up to look at it—whatever that might be.
You should look upon it as a world that is designed
specifically to give certain beings an opportunity
to live in a world where they can deny God's
presence for as long as they like—or almost
as long as they like.
And so, you who are the spiritual people should
realize that you have come here as a sacrifice.
You came here because you desired to descend
into this world, where so many beings had become
trapped in anti-love and you wanted to bring
the sunlight of love, to give them an opportunity
to experience that there is something beyond
anti-love. And so, when you look at this, you
can realize that you volunteered to come into
a situation that you knew would be very difficult.
You knew that your love would be rejected, you
knew that you would be hurt and bruised.
And, my beloved, I am not saying this to justify
the hurt, to justify the abuse. I am saying
it because when you accept the reality of this
planet, you can overcome the very dysfunctional
and non-productive attitude of feeling that
you should not have been treated this way, that
something is wrong, perhaps even feeling, as
has been mentioned before, that "God should
not have allowed this to happen to me."
And you see, my beloved, when you go into that
frame of mind – of feeling that some injustice
has been done to you on Earth, possibly even
that God has been unjust toward you –
then you inevitably become a victim of the consciousness
of anti-love that you came here to eradicate.
And then you cut off the flow of God's love
through your being. And now you feel that God
has abandoned you, for you no longer experience
that love. But, my beloved, it is not that God
has abandoned you. It is, as is said in this
wonderful rosary, that when you do not feel
God's love flowing through you, you
do not feel God's love for you.
For love is not a static force, it cannot be
captured, it cannot be controlled, it cannot
be put in a mental box. It can be experienced
only when you allow it to flow. And so when
you allow yourself to become trapped in the
consciousness of anti-love, then you shut off
the flow and now you no longer experience unconditional
love.So then what is left?
Well, only conditional love is left—the
worldly form of love, that even those who are
trapped in anti-love need. For surely there
is not one being who can live without love.
But the problem is that so many beings cannot
receive the true unconditional love, and so
they are on an impossible quest, a never-ending
quest, to fill the desire for love. But they
are seeking to fill it with conditional love,
thinking that the love they receive should live
up to certain conditions and that they should
seek to possess the love or the persons through
whom that love is being expressed.
You came here to bring love
You see, my beloved, this becomes a Catch 22.
And so, as Saint
Germain so eloquently put it last night,
we who are your spiritual teachers face the
dilemma of how to awaken you without shattering
your self-esteem, or even your sense of identity.
And truly, the only way to truly escape the
duality consciousness is by reconnecting to
the love that is still there in the core of
your being.
For my beloved, I realize you are in this world
and you look at life and the universe from inside
the mental box of this world. But I tell you
that you did not come here, you did not decide
to descend here, with the limited perspective
you have now. And so even though you may have
been bruised and hurt and have shut off the
flow of God's love and feel abandoned by God,
I can assure you that you came here out of love.
I realize that there are some of you who have
come here from higher realms and who feel that
you have been unjustly sent here by God. But
nevertheless, you did not start in that higher
realm. You started in an even higher realm.
There was a point where your lifestream decided
to first descend into the world of form, into
the latest sphere in the world of form.
And that decision was based on love, the desire
to express your true God quality, your true
divine individuality, and bring that gift to
the world, to light up a world.
And so it is possible for you to go beyond the
outer facade and reconnect to the core of that
love in your being. And when you do so, you
will realize that you love something more than
what you are experiencing right now. And I tell
you, my beloved, it is only when you recognize
that you have a love for something more than
what you have right now that you can overcome
your current limitations. For you can overcome
your current limitations only in one way, namely,
as we have explained many times, by letting
the old sense of identity die. And in order
to be willing to let the old die, you must have
a love for something more. Which then makes
you realize that letting the old die does not
mean a loss, for you will be reborn into a higher
state of identity.
You see, my beloved, when you have the negative
awakening that Saint Germain talked about –
where you realize that you are a terrible person
and you need to change, you are a miserable
sinner – then your sense of self-esteem
is shattered and you feel like in order to overcome
the bad aspects of yourself, you have to destroy
your sense of self. Because you think there
is no sense of self beyond the ego.
You cannot overcome selfishness by destroying
the self
So my beloved, there are indeed people in this
world, both in traditional religions and even
in new spiritual movements, who believe that
the way to spiritual growth is to destroy all
sense of self, all sense of a separate self.
But you see, my beloved, this is coming from
a negative. This is coming from wanting to eliminate
a negative by creating another negative or by
destroying the first negative which is another
negative action. And so as two wrongs do not
make a right, you cannot correct an imperfection
by acting out another imperfection.
So there is no way to destroy something, for
deep within you, you have a basic survival instinct
that is even beyond the survival instinct of
the body and the survival instinct of the ego.
Because your true divine individuality wants
to survive and wants to grow and wants to express
itself in this world—it wants to fulfill
its original reason for being, its reason for
coming here. And so, if you try to destroy all
sense of self, you end up working against yourself,
seeking to destroy not only the false sense
of self of the ego but also the true sense of
self of your divine individuality.
And this simply cannot be done. You may actually
be able to destroy much of your sense of self
but you will eventually come to a point, where
the inner conflict becomes so intense, so illogical,
so contradictory that you simply cannot stand
it anymore. And so this is not the way. The
way to salvation is not through self-denial
or self-destruction. It is through self-transcendence.
You are not seeking to destroy the old self.
You are simply seeking to transcend it and be
reborn into a new self, a higher self, that
replaces the old. Yet, the trick, my beloved,
is – as Jesus demonstrated on the cross
– you cannot be reborn into the new until
you allow the old to die.
And so here is where the scary part comes in.
For there will be a cosmic interval between
the death of the old and the resurrection of
the Conscious
You into a higher sense of identity. And
so, when you let the old die, you will literally
feel like you are plunging yourself into a vacuum.
I say you will feel like it, because in reality
you will not. Your conscious self will not lose
consciousness. It will remain conscious. But
as you are at the moment of having to give up
the old self, you will feel like there will
be nothing after that old self. And that is
what Jesus experienced on the cross when he
cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?"
What was it that pulled Jesus beyond that state
of fear and paralysis, that state of panic?
Well, it was that he had integrated into his
being the higher love that brought him into
this world. He had uncovered that love, and
so he knew in his conscious mind why he originally
came here. And therefore, he did not feel like
a victim of life. He did not feel that God had
unjustly sent him into this world. For even
though he had his trials and tribulations, deep
within him he knew that he had volunteered to
come here and he knew what could happen to him.
So because he had the conscious awareness of
the deeper, innermost love of his being, he
realized that he simply needed to give up the
ghost of the last vestiges of the separate self.
And in his love for God he was willing to do
that. And so what I am saying to you is that
the essential key to everything is to reconnect
to the deeper love of your being, the innermost
love of your being, that originally caused you
to volunteer to descend into the denser sphere
to bring your light and your love. And so this
is a topic you might meditate upon as you go
from here.
Reconnect to your original love
This is something you can take with you, the
idea of seeking to reconnect to the original
love of your being. And, my beloved, my
entire book is designed to help you reconnect
to that inner love. And I assure you that that
book was designed to help a broad range of people,
even those who for a very long time have been
trapped in the consciousness of anti-love.
And so no matter how far you might have descended
into anti-love, if you will keep reading and
re-reading and studying and absorbing my book
while you give the rosaries, then you will eventually
break through.
For I assure you that I am a capable spiritual
teacher. And I am capable of taking a child
by the hand, even if it is an unruly child,
and bringing that child to my heart—even
if the child comes kicking and screaming. For
my beloved, I have dealt with my share of unruly
children, one of which bore the name of Jesus,
who was by no means an easy child, as he well
knows. [Laughter] And as we have often sat together
and chuckled about some of his naughtiness,
some of his stubbornness, some of his extreme
sense that he was right. [Laughter]
So you see, my beloved, when you are in a human
body, you have certain human imperfections.
But so what? They are all unreal, they can all
be transcended, they can all be left behind.
There is not one of you who cannot transcend
your imperfections. But you can only transcend
them by letting them go. And you can only let
them go when you know that there is going to
be something to take their place, something
that is more than the imperfection.
And you can only know that through love. Because
when you reconnect to the original love, you
also reconnect to the source of that love. And
therefore, you know that you came from that
source. And therefore, you know that you are
infinitely more than your present sense of identity.
My beloved, think back to the meditation of
yesterday of seeing the images of distant galaxies
and the vastness of this physical universe,
and see how it gives you a different perspective.
And you realize how small the Earth is compared
to the vastness of the physical universe. Well,
when you reconnect to your original love, you
take that broader perspective to an even higher
level. You magnify it a billion, billion times.
For God's love is infinitely greater than the
vastness of the material universe, and so you
have an entirely different perspective.
And it is through that perspective that you
can see how ridiculously insignificant are these
things that you have held on to on this planet,
and that other people hold on to. And that is
when you can let them go. And that is when you
can reconnect to your original purpose, so that
when the angel of God appears to you within
your heart – in the form of your Christ
Self – to remind you that it is time to
start some aspect of your own divine plan then
– instead of rejecting it, instead of
explaining it away, instead of finding some
clever reasoning why you cannot possibly do
this now—perhaps in 10,000 lifetimes but
not today – then instead of this reaction
you can simply come to that point of surrender
and say, "Oh Lord, be it unto me according
to thy will."
For you realize that the Lord is not the remote
being in the sky who is seeking to force his
will upon you. The Lord truly is your own higher
being. And you are only being reminded of the
higher choices you made when you had the broader
perspective that has been lost as you entered
the denseness of this world.
You have earned a special dispensation
So my beloved, I am eternally grateful for your
giving of all of my rosaries. But I am especially
grateful of these two, the Clearing
of the Heart and the Loving
of Yourself. For they have opened up your
hearts to a point where I can give you a special
dispensation, which is that I will give you
some moments – where we will play music
– where you can surrender anything you
want to surrender.
And what I will do is that what you can surrender
personally, I will multiply by a certain multiplication
factor, so that your personal surrender has
a multiplied impact on the collective consciousness.
And so for each limitation that you can surrender,
thereby setting yourself free, you can also
set free a substantial number of other people.
Certainly, this is subject to their free will.
But by your surrender, they will get a better
opportunity to surrender themselves. And this
is again how we have the figure-eight flow between
us here above and you below, as Nada
so beautifully explained.
And so your willingness to surrender then becomes,
as Jesus' willingness to surrender his physical
life, the one thing that can be multiplied and
therefore count for many. Truly, as they say,
Jesus came to give his life as ransom for many
(Matthew 20:28). But the deeper meaning is that
Jesus' willingness to surrender – instead
of holding on – became the true sacrifice,
the acceptable offering, that then enabled the
lifting of a certain amount of burden from humankind,
thereby making it easier for others to follow
in Jesus' footsteps and raise themselves above
duality.
So, my beloved, we will now give you this opportunity
to surrender.
[Music playing]
My beloved hearts, flow with the music, flow
with the River of Life. Allow yourself to feel
how – in your heart, in your mind, in
your being – you are letting go. Letting
go of what you think you need to hold on to
on the banks of the river that keeps you outside
that flow of the River of Life. Just feel how
something within you lets go.
You are letting go and flowing with the River
of Life, the ocean of God's love, where there
is no separation, no darkness, no fear, no anger.
And you are one with life itself. You are one
in that River of Life where nothing can be separate.
For all is light and no shadows remain.
[Music playing]
Thus, my beloved, with great gratitude for your
willingness to participate in this interchange,
I seal you in the love of my heart. I seal you
against the forces of anti-love who would surely
– if they could – disturb your newfound
peace and surrender.
And thus I say to you, “Be sealed in the
nurturing love of the Divine Mother. And remain
sealed in the Eternal NOW that is the flow of
that love.”
It is finished!
NOTE: To take full advantage of the dispensation
to surrender, listen to the audio file of this
dictation and go through the process of surrender.
