Two paths of Love from Mary Magdalene

This channeling from Mary Magdalene was part of a discussion in a group related to the differences between living a monastic life as a spiritual path of love vs a householder in the everyday world.

It is my pleasure to join you, to join this conversation of being divine in human form that you have been having prior to the start of your session. This channel is correct in offering the wisdom that comes from learning the application of the higher realms -- the teachings, practices and wisdom therein as applied in daily life in familial connection and community.

There is a great deal to be learned from this approach, and it is not without its pains. For the human experience is to surrender - to let go of one's safe position above human condition and to enter into it, to surrender one's heart to others. It is to allow oneself to be affected by those around you and to learn the mastery and discipline, to own the conditions of your happiness - despite the influence and blessed nature of your beloved family around you.

It is my perception that at times humans believe that Yeshua and I were above these experiences, but we were not. There were times of difficulty, vulnerability, as you can imagine, with the consequence of Yeshua's choice to publicly teach that which was rejected by the Roman Empire, the Pharisees, Sadducees and many others. And so what started as a small and beautiful movement, a great heart opening and welcome to those to come to the fold of love, evolved into a path of great personal power for him, for me, for others as well, and yet posed many challenges as well.

One cannot entirely separate oneself as a human from the impact of these type of difficulties and challenges that come upon oneself and those you love. The heart feels these pains, but it also feels the love at a depth that is unmatched when in form, when you are only in spirit. It is not that it is less than, but it is a different experience. And the passion that rose between us to accomplish our mission was in and of itself both the human experience and a very elevated mystical union.

Both were true, both were valid. So in our walk together we cross the bridge from the esoteric teachings that we were given in our upbringing, their application in the natural world and the daily challenges of living a human life -- making food, breaking bread, cleaning one's home, interacting in the community with a variety of players, and personalities and attitudes, navigating the energies of the time, the density that surrounded us -- and to stay true to the mission that we adhere to, took great effort.

This again is an illustration of the alchemy of the spiritual and the physical coming together. This is in essence the challenge of your ascension on planet Earth at this time.

How does one elevate one's life while in human form, while in daily conflict or interaction with others? There's so much arises that in human experience that can pull one from one center. But again, if one wishes to illustrate with one's life what this means to gain mastery while in the human experience, then this is a great objective and training ground to do so.

If your desires are to work from a more elevated state, to be less personally involved with the human heart, in relationship, and the physical body, that is a worthwhile and dedicated path as well. And each bless the whole for it is no different to take one path over the other when you are a multi-dimensional being, as some part of you may be experiencing the other path as well.

All these realms are possible in your experience and you are well aware that this is not your only path and lifetime. So my recommendation is to hold yourself as closely as you can to the desires of the heart for this lifetime. You need not worry that you are shutting off other options. They always exist, they may always be taken. If you look back in regret, you may create that option as well.

But there is great diligence in learning from the human experience, in choosing to take a step, to take a stand, and to explore what is possible in your spiritual evolution to do in such a manner.
