Mary:
Symbol of Motherhood
Questions:
1. Who is Mary?
The historical person whom we know as the mother of Jesus of Nazareth now occupies a place in what is called The Counsel of Elders. As do all the members of The Hierarchy, she holds more than one office, as there are not enough initiates qualified to fill all the positions.
Among the current offices of this loving person are: Holy Mother, Transmitter of Grace and Mercy, Regina Coeli, Stella Maris, Interceptor, Union of Heaven and Earthly Blessings, Paradicta of Peace. There are others. She’s a busy gal.
Holy Mother being her most popular office among humans in physical life, she spends a large portion of her attention on providing comfort for those who need a maternal figure of stability. Mother Mary and her posse do work a benediction for all animals (humans too) who have children & help the young.
2. Is she an Initiate?
Yes, Virginia, she’s a bona fide 6DI—that’s a Lord to you and me. Meaning, she has a direct connection to the Soul Bodies of every member of the human species. The Counsel of Elders is made up of 6DIs or the equivalent thereof. Less than a handful of humanity has made it that far in accumulating so many Personal Power Points. See chapter 36.
3. Is she involved with holy days or with Mother's Day?
There are several Mother's Days around the world, and Mary sends out blessings on all of them. Of course, she gets connected with people during certain Catholic feasts where she is featured. Also, certain groups who celebrate the Mother Goddess include Mary in their holy days, and she sends her blessings to these as well.
4. What about Medjugorje? Is it bona fide?
By bona fide, I believe you are asking, did the children who began the movement actually see the visions, and do people actually see visions at this place.
The answer is perhaps more complex and puzzling than you anticipated. Often we see with amusement events evolving in this way. Although the outer, worldly events came about in one manner, the reason for them has a plan. Many events that people think they have made are actually the product of nudging and choreography from the Hierarchy.
In the very beginning, before the media became involved, the children met together and rehearsed an event—the event that got it all started. Because their religious milieu was heavily pointed to the Holy Mother, it was natural that they should hear from their parents and elders about visions. Ivanka especially had just lost her mother and was beside herself with grief. She found a great deal of relief from praying about her mother and thinking about the Holy Mother.
It began as an innocent hoax, but it quickly got out of hand and changed into something much larger and more profound. Although the children had planned the first few events as a sort of curious game against the adults, things changed for them in an unexpected way.
Three of the children were already clairvoyant and they began to have real visions. The more attention they got, the greater their enthusiasm to make the play into a reality, which it eventually became. All the children became touched and transformed by the daily routine. They came to understand their memorized prayers more clearly. Their lives changed for the better and they all received enlightenment.
Many of the pilgrims who go there also receive enlightenment and have wonderful experiences. The Spirit of Truth will find you no matter where you look!
5. Why do apparitions of Mary usually bear similar messages?
She gently nudges us to use our thoughts for praying and blessing others. You can't find any fault with that! Usually, when there is a doom or chastisement in the messages, then you can finger the "visionary" for inserting their belief systems into the pot.
6. What is Mary's primary work?
The Spirit of Grace and Mercy is very busy during this age. Mary and her group work to bolster the faith of humans. They encourage us to reach out for Divine Intervention and to have simple faith that we are well-cared for if we allow it. Always, she is involved in anyone's prayers for healing, rescue, and comfort.
7. How do other mother figures in religion and mythology relate to Mary?
Each of these goddesses are different individuals, even though they work to serve similar functions for society. Quan Yin, the Durgae, and other motherly figures are connected to the Spirit of Grace and Mercy, and they also have other jobs that are specific to the people of their cultural service.
It is so important for everyone to be able to think about a divine mother figure, because in real life mothers are far from perfect. A real-life mother has her personal desires and agendas, which sometimes conflict with the needs of her children. This wounds the child, of course, and can set the stage for continuing the damage to his/her children.
Here is where religion and mythology can improve our society. A child can hear stories about a perfect, heavenly mother. She provides an idealized model for how the child can treat his/her children as a parent. We have hopes that each generation of parents becomes more like the idealized paradigm and makes a better, less traumatized generation of children.
8. Draw or describe one of your helpers.
Helpers can bring enlightenment too! When you are trying to solve a puzzle in your life, sincerely ask for anyone who is interested to come and teach you how to get it right.
