My first reaction when I downloaded this ebook was to
give a sigh of relief that I could breeze through the reading of the book, when I saw it was only
36 pages. I settled in and open the first page then blinked. I was startled at my first experience of
reading somebody talking to me through layers. No strike that, I had
experienced that when I wrote my second novel Numen Yeye.
My eyebrows were raised when the first pages seemed to be
questions from a Western outlook. I excused my disappointment as I recognized
that I must have missed the first two books that Johanna was referring to. I am
African, Nigerian, actually and specifically from that part of the country where being a woman had both
its limitations and strengths. I am a Yoruba woman.
As I grew up, I quickly learnt what it means being a
woman and the first things were the limitations, so I tended to be impatient
with the first few questions, which had very little to do with my world
concept, until we got to a few questions and Mary started talking about
womanhood, now she got my full attention and happily held it to the end. The
beauty of Johanna’s writing was she handed over the story to Mary Magdalene and
stayed severely in the background to the very end.
Mary Magdalene has held the attention of every spiri-t
striving woman through the ages. I always asked this question when I was young.
How could love be a sin? What annoyed the writers of the Holy Book so much that
they defiled her so unremittingly?
Mary of Magda sums it all up for me this way: That I loved a man so powerful and yet
maintained my own identity even in the face of no acceptance. That was the
toughest love you could hand over and the toughest role that you could be asked
to fill in.
She remained a beacon for women the world over who have
faced such tough choices by a male dominated society. We still raise our brows
at the sound or mention of her name and have a smirk, a self- complacent smile
and I always wondered that even fellow women have not done any better in giving
such a painful role to Mary of Magda.
I guess the seeking soul can only find the answers
within. Like Mary says, Your role as a
soul is to remember
Further on she urges, Honor
your intuition, it is the voice of your soul.
The only offence Mary of Magda ever committed was she
loved a powerful, great man whose divinity was clear, we also denied Him to
right to love one personally for Himself and punished Mary to the forgotten
pages of historical slumber.
Welcome to my blog and I would be happy to have, Mary
give answers to these questions. Some of them will be regular and some will be
as intuition guides me.
1. Why
should women be interested in politics at all, they are the guardians of the
soul of the Earth?
Women
are earthbound souls who chose to live a human experience. It is the systems of the Earth that often
dictate destiny. Politics is part of a
larger world system that should not be ignored.
Unfortunately, our voice as women is often small and unheard yet we
should not ignore what is laid before us in the rules of any system. Wisdom is an innate gift women birth at
various moments in their evolution. They
feel truth in the heart of their soul and find it a challenge to put words into
motion of their divine truths. Political history has silenced many voices
through their archaic systems.
The
women of the earth as in all cultures and systems must never forget that the
voice of a small kitten can turn into the roar of a lioness. In this age, the lioness comes out of her
cage and joins others. This is not only heard but seen as a force that can
change political opinions and hence consciousness. It is a cause worth the
effort.
2. Woman
carries the finer energies because she is expected to serve as the transition
of the realms along the path of spirituality even unto divinity, how can she
achieve that in today’s world of crass materiality?
Women
were birthed into the Divine Feminine energy to remind the world of all that is
receptive, emotional and in movement. The
evolved feminine soul has realization that she is a magnet of light who holds
the beam of direction to understanding the material world that serves the
higher aspect of all souls. She realizes
the blessings along the journey in the material world without being manipulated
or held back. She is unattached to this
aspect of life and understands the desires of the soul and the needs of the
physical world.
Why does the Christian books find the concept of marital
love anathema in relation to Yeshua who is the love incarnate of the Almighty
father?
Because
the books of history did not know his true Holy Heart or intention. They
created a story for social consumption to fit their own needs. It is a sadness that lies heavily to see this
lack of wisdom. We reach many whose hearts are open. How can anyone ever
describe the light and love of the divine if their minds are closed?
3. How
can love be a sin? And how did you cope with the ridicule and suspicion through
the ages?
Love
is the purest state of connection with the divine that exists. It is a gift to live in this state of
being. The sin is the misconception that
when this gift of love is shared in the state of divine intention with another
it has no divine purpose.
I
came to the Earth with a divine mission and still continue to be a messenger.
While in the body, I often felt my soul sad and my heart shattered for the
labels. I parted the veils in my mind and touched the sweetness of love in my
memory. This is all that matters even
now as we watch the world twist and turn.
4. When
you feel divine love, you are held in the cup of the universe, and know from
within what bliss can be.. how can the woman of today make that possible in the
home?
Your
home is a temple which is sacred. It
holds energy and intention. Create a
sacred place in your home where you disconnect from the world and enter into
the heart of peace and love. Sacred space holds bliss naturally when created
from love. Make a commitment on a regular basis to experience this space and
continue to breathe in love and
breathe out fear. Feel the divine even in the simple things. It
must become a habit.
5. I learned that Marriage can be likened to two
streams flowing together in the same direction; each feeds the other but
retains their individuality like you did in Yeshua and you joining, can we
learn how to do in the face of the customs and practices of the society today?
If
your customs are rigid then work within the customs and create your own unique
identity. This must be discussed. We see
much of this today; the desire to be free and dance in your own light. Do you know how to use energy to your
advantage and bend the light inward? The
paradigms shift with the ages. Allow
divine timing to catch up for this should not ever be an inner struggle.
6. In
the past in China and in Greek stories, the kingdom of women and Lesbo became
extinct first because Lesbo was invaded by men and once noble ideals was
manipulated and the story was thereafter distorted and made sordid and in the
case of China, the kingdom of Women was finally conquered and contained, now
you predict that when the five nations allow the voice of the feminine
spirituality to be heard, there might be a change for the better. Could you
explain further?
I
tell you dear one something you already know about this history. The threat of
power misunderstood caused this. The
sacredness of these women and their choices was violated with soul
ignorance. As the rights of humanity,
including male and female, are recognized as a choice of soul evolution for the
benefit of wholeness only then will society be open and release ignorance,
judgments and fear from something they do not understand. A universal global voice must be heard that
is cohesive in nature and that will only occur when male and female disconnect
from the rage of the warring heart and enter into the flow of the harmony of
the human spirit. As long as war exists
you are in duality and polarity of opposition.
There is a large wave of awareness and acceptance that is emerging yet a
large portion of the Earth is still dark.
It will take time and as you see leadership shift the work will begin
for more tolerance. It is a long journey
with some stumbles for the spiritual activist. The women of today are preparing their
children for this. It warms us.
7. This
question is for Johanna.. When you became a full fledged psychic, what was your
experience like?
Two
things show up for me with this question:
A.
My first official reading was with a woman
named Jan who called me one night. She was going through a divorce and was
about to lose her adopted child to her then ‘husband’. She had heard about me through a man I was dating
who told her I was gifted as I had given him some psychic information. I did
not know he was sharing that info with anyone.
I told her I did not do this kind of work and her response was, ‘well
you do now!’ She told me when she would call, how long we would talk, and how
much she was going to pay me. I agreed.
During the reading, I was guided to tell her she was married to a bigamist and
he had no legal rights to their adopted child.
I guided her to go back to her attorney (and hopefully she was open to
this reading information) and hire a detective.
She did do that and they found out he had another legal wife and no
rights to this child as they were not legally married! The attorney was open to
psychic readings and then she started calling relative to the case and personal
issues. During the court case the
reading was entered as evidence as I am in the family law court records in San
Diego, County which is pretty cool. She then gave my name to others and my
referral system began. It was all word
of mouth.
As a result of that show, the three of us were
asked to be on a TV show called The Other Side in LA. The host was very clear that I was NOT to
use the word psychic so I said, ‘ok no problem I will use intuitive.’ The show begins he comes over to me and says, ‘so are you a psychic?” and I
said, ‘yes’!
B.
I had just started doing my psychic readings
and a client invited me to a party with some of her friends. She walked me over to an elderly man and
said, ‘this is my psychic.’ He thought
she said ‘sidekick’ and started to laugh.
I gulped down and said, ‘no I am her spiritual psychic.’ Everyone in the room gave me a funny look and
turned away. This was my first public coming out party to the world as a
psychic so I felt terrible. I went outside
on a patio all alone and then after a bit, one by one each person came out to
chat with me. They were loving and
accepting and asked for my cards. I was
not there to entertain them and I left feeling very loved and appreciated.
8. How can one separate a true psychic from a
darn good psychologist or charlatan?
Get
a referral and check their credentials.
Ask them about their training and psychic development. A gifted psychic
has refined their gift. They are loving compassionate and genuinely kind. If they are professional and valid in this day
and age, there should be information about them on the internet. We are spiritual guides who MUST come from
love and wholeness. If anyone starts to
creep you out or instill fear in you, STOP THE SESSION AND DO NOT PAY
THEM. You are paying for their
time. They gift you the door to wisdom
but their ego is not there. If it
doesn’t feel right, speak up and leave. You should always leave a spiritual
session of any kind feeling lifted up, confident and with a greater sense of
direction. The decision is up to you to
apply the Law of Action. Any psychic who
tells you have to come back again and again is not trustworthy. Do your homework
and trust your intuition.
9. This
final question is for Mary of Magda: In the face of the fact that the world has
lost its innocence and can no longer turn willingly to spiritual contemplation,
has changed the signposts and women are no longer true guardians of purity,
what do you suggest should be the way forward now for women?
Women
must reclaim their divine feminine rights as keepers of light and guardians of
an Earth that needs healing. You must
start first on a journey of self-discovery, not over analyzing to discover
self-love. Only then will you be a
beacon of light towards the inner world of light and love. This has nothing to do with anyone else other
than YOU.
I
recently wrote a book called The Lost Art
of Loving which is all about that journey of awareness. I have been told it is like a mini spiritual
seminar for women. A return to innocence is available; we merely have to
discover it once again. The soul
remembers everything to take you there. Our journey as women reminds me of the
inscription written over many of the ancient temples and what I saw in France
while doing Mary Magdalene retreats:
KNOW THYSELF. It has to start
with that before you can hold the light for others to follow.
