Who is Mary Magdalen, a woman a myth a legend? She has been called the bride of Christ, the chalice or vessel. She is the Omega to the Alpha of Jesus.in representing the Christ consciousness.
If Jesus came into embodiment to represent the body of Christ, then surely the MagdaElena would represent the soul, that soft ambiguous part of our nature that we cannot define but is never the less there. Rarely understood and searched for in Secret she is held in the dark nutured into a Great Mystery that only the brave may go in search of. It takes courage to be the soul and it takes courage to seek it.
It is impossible in this 3 dimensional world of ours to ignore the body. The body is most adamant about being given its due attention; without this attention it will die. Perishable and fleeting is this vehicle that we relate our physical experience through and yet while we are here it seems that it is all that we have. It communicates to us in messages mysterious to us at first as we begin to know this curios little machine. We cry, we hunger, we experience the pain of not knowing what signal is coming form where and what does it mean?
As we grow we begin to get to know this little machine. We begin to identify with it, we understand it. We need it. We become slightly obsessed with tending to it and seeing that it has every little accommodation that its heart desires.
And what of the soul? What happens to her? She is still there, how could she not be? She is you every bit as much as your blessed body. She is not so loud, that is all.
Our soul speaks to us in dreams and intuitions she communicates most easily into our physical awareness through the intelligence of our heart. Yes, your heart has an intelligence all of its own that does not relate to the measuring, judging and understanding needs of our minds.
The intelligence of the heart is neutrality. It is nexus of our awareness the joining place of body and soul. The heart does not need to know why, when, how many or how long. If we can learn to listen, it is the part of our 3 dimensional experience that is beating “Just is, Just be”.
It seems that we pay more attention to this part when we are younger; when we laugh easier, cry easier and love much less reservedly. It seems that the delight that we find in having this body does not outweigh our overall delight. We are fresh we are curious. We have an intimate knowledge of our soul because it fills and occupies most of our days.
She sends us messages in the clouds, the grass and the flowers. We even receive special attention through angels and fairies and guides, and although they are with us for the whole time we are on this planet we are entrained away from them. They become our “imaginary friends” and we are asked to leave them and the joy of our so called pretend worlds behind. We are told, “Grow up! Join the adult world.”
And so we put them away and our soul becomes quiet. True, she can’t go anywhere. That which is eternal cannot be removed, lost or destroyed but by the very subtleties of her permanence she becomes a silent partner; only offering her opinion when she is sought out.
Perhaps this is what Jesus realized and in sacrificing his precious body he gave birth to a great search. A search for meaning, a meaning that cannot be understood but must be felt and realized through contemplation, conversation and integration of the long lost soul.
Perhaps when he transcended this world, which is truly no big thing, we all do it, he was really demonstrating that the body although needed as a vehicle is only that a vehicle. What he left behind for us to contemplate and search for in his beloved consort is what we must all search for inside of ourselves, our beloved, our soul.
Could she, Mary, this benevolent woman of mystery represent what we must all hold precious? So much did God love us that he gave his only son into this world. So much did this son love us that he played the split that we all play here in this realm, the duality split. We divide ourselves so that we can experience, but we are never really separate from our source.
The attainment of Christ consciousness is the realization of oneness. When Jesus said that I and my father are one, he did not mean that he and his father had an exclusive relationship that made him more special than everyone else. He merely meant that as the living demonstration of human potential he had come to the realization that there was no separation.
This is a realization that we are all striving to arrive at, the integration of soul and body awareness into our everyday lives. Having mastered this Jesus entrusted the manifestation of his precious soul, his beloved to become a symbol of the mystery and the search while he, the body, was put through his arduous ordeal so as to demonstrate how the Christ consciousness conquers the physical, so as to demonstrate Freedom.
The myth of the Christ is the myth that we all play out within ourselves. Do we sacrifice our body to preserve our soul? She does not ask this of all of us. She merely asks that we invite her into our lives. She merely asks to be thought of and occasionally spoken to.
This unification is something that we will all experience at the time of our death, but to arrive at this as a personally realized truth before leaving this embodiment creates a personal freedom in life that promotes action through courage, peace through acceptance and a curiosity that supports growth through communication with the heart intelligence.
The most lovely example in a very physical sense of the expression of this unification in physical form is the love and connection between man and woman or lovers . When we truly love another without placing restraints on them or our own beingness a kind of freedom ensues. It is the freedom of full expression of love, connection tand Self.
Yes each has a soul and a body, but when they are truly joined a special union occurs. Instead of I we become Our. Our Father, who art in heaven, shall we journey IN to our Heart together?
Our heart; the kingdom of heaven, the domain of expansion, the many mansions, the home of the Divine on Earth. Our heart; the most secret of chapels where we must go to communicate with our beloved, our soul.
