I was aspired to share these simple words of wisdom that are based in common sense and the clear light of pure reason.
✨ Mary speaks ✨
“Are the gods real? The gods that people turn to, the gods that they ask for help, the gods they seek blessings from, the gods that they placate with their offerings, with sacrifices in their lives, with respect that they give, with obedience to rules they have been told exist about the proper relationship with this god or that god or all gods?
We spoke, a while back, of spiritual enfranchisement, of finding the core truths that exist for humanity and humanity’s spiritual growth – spiritual growth defined as achieving a civilization that recognizes and supports the Oneness of all. We, of the Spiritual Hierarchy, are going to be coming forth to walk among you. We are coming forth now, we will be coming forth as a team, as a unit, as advisors.
Now, what does this mean to the religious practices of those who put their faith in these multifarious gods over the ages? I would say some of these gods are beings of power who came forth, each in their own time, each in their own way, to bring messages. They brought Divine love. Now, I cannot account for the individual behaviors and philosophies of every deity in every culture since time began. But they do have in common their relationship to humanity, and that is, one way or another, a power that human beings do not have. That, in my mind, is what makes them godlike. They have abilities, they have power “ordinary human beings” do not have. And I would say the one missing word is “yet.” They have wisdom and power that ordinary humanity does not possess yet.
If one counts perfection as Divinity, I think you will find that many of these gods were not perfect in all regards, especially if they had temper tantrums and lost their temper with humanity. So, were they perfect? No, I don’t think so, unless one is redefining the word perfection. Did they have a function and a purpose? I would say, yes. They can be very specialized. But I would ask you what specialty, what moral characteristics did any of these divine beings have that human beings, at some point, do not have.
The power of compassion, the power of being willing to sacrifice themselves, the power of loving enough to say, yes, I will protect your newborn child. Yes, I will bless the seeds you plant in this crop so that you may provide for yourself and your family. Yes, I will bless your journey so that you arrive safely. Do not human beings, one from another, have these same powers?
Cannot a community and medical practice and alternative healing all protect a newborn? If you protect the mother and protect the child and make certain that the mother has been treated well during pregnancy and has had sufficient nutrition and has not had to labor beyond her capacity, and you make certain that the child is born in a clean and sanitary way, and treated with love welcomed into the world, cannot a community and human functions provide for the welfare and health of this child? I would say yes. Can human beings bless one another? Yes, they can bless with the love in their heart. Can human beings aid one another? Yes, they can. If a child is lost, or a spouse is lost or a parent dies, cannot people aid one another to sustain those who are so terribly hard hit with grief?
There is a certain amount of comfort that comes from thinking that there are powers beyond humanity to do these functions. But you see, these functions are inside. These functions come with a human vehicle and you can find them within, if you touch what the soul intended when it came into this incarnation, and understand where your place is in relation to those who are further along the road and to those who are not so advanced.
I would caution. The one place where I would question “gods” is in angry vengeance. There are consequences for actions and there are consequences for decisions. There are always consequences, but true Divinity does not practice angry vengeance. One must understand consequences, but this can be done in a loving forgiving, manner, in which the objective is the opportunity to balance and learn lessons of balance.
When we of the Spiritual Hierarchy come forth to walk among you, we will bring wisdom, we will bring our advice, we will bring our powers, such as they are. But we guide and advise and assist. For all our wisdom and all our power, we are not gods. We are simply further along the Path. And many of those who have come in the past with messages vital to humanity’s spiritual growth are left with the legend of the Divine, when they were, in fact, volunteer messengers. Not angels, messengers who cared about their brethren and wished to show the next step in human spiritual maturity. They became gods because their legend is empowered. What is needed to be seen is that they were simply in a place of evolution where all human beings will be at one point.
See a path stretching, here to there, A to Z. Human beings, human souls are intended to travel that path, are traveling that path, and at the end is reunification with the Divine. When these beings and these energies called gods can be recognized as beings and energies and powers and skills and compassion that is being demonstrated by an individual who is further down the path, humanity will take a long step toward spiritual maturity. They will take a step toward respecting the extent of the Divine creativity within, the soul’s creative heart, the creativity expressed so many ways already – especially in finding ways to help each other.
This creativity is one of humanity’s strengths. But unless that creativity is turned to help partner with Mother Earth, unless it is turned to help one another create an environment that is safe for everyone, an environment where every soul can incarnate and find its own path, a creativity that protects family and those you love, a creativity that realizes “those you love” are far, far more multifarious than you might imagine, then you have not yet recognized and tapped the Divine creativity within.
Many of these gods and energies are simply demonstrations of what human beings can do for each other. When you reach the point where you cannot carry on because you are simply too drained, you can look for help inside with your soul and touch your soul, perhaps, and find a peace there, because your soul is a spark of God. Or you can look to your friends and neighbors who will rally round you, and you will find that you are sustained because they are expressing Divinity in the way they help care for you. Or you can send your prayers to those who are further down the road and say with your powers, “Please help me figure this out.” We will listen and assist in such ways as we are able, but we are not gods.
We are simply further down the road, reaching back to help. And that is an important distinction, because being further down the road is letting you know that one day you will be where we are, and perhaps you will remember to reach back. You can start practicing today, and in many instances – in many, many instances – this kind of practice is seen around the world. Reaching out, reaching back to help one another. Is this not what gods do?”
Thank you,
