Greetings!
This morning around 7 a.m. I woke up hearing the song You Raise Me Up. It was a song I knew and loved.
I believed I heard the song for the first time on TV in 2006. The singer was Tommy Fleming. I fell in love with the song. Though it was one of my favorite songs, I only remembered some of the lyrics. I chose this song for mother and son dance during my younger son's wedding. (This was not our Chinese tradition.) When the music was playing, we were not really dancing because I did not know how to dance. We sang and I told my son how proud I was of him.
I was happy to hear the song. I heard it on TV. I knew the song. It was not one of those Music in the Air that sometimes I could not find out what it was.
On March 19, I woke up hearing music. It was beautiful, yet I had no idea what it was. I went online. Somehow, the website I used to go to did not work. I tried the revised version. The suggested songs were not the same as what I heard. After trying for a few more times, I wanted to give up. Then I saw the suggestion for me to go back to the original website. It worked. It was And I Love You So. I did not know the song. I loved the words as well as the music. The music was heard or in my mind throughout the day.
That night the music was very much in the air / my mind. I wondered if it was my mind that let it go on and on. So I mentally talked to my guides. I told them I wanted to sign up for the Friday gathering. All the while, I still heard the music. Gradually, I fell asleep and was awoken to see 3:33 a.m. I sat up to meditate. In the morning, I woke up hearing And I Love You So again. I decided to re-write the song as if it was from my guides and soul family - And we love you so, we understand how you feel, sometimes life seems tough, and you feel all alone, yet deep within you know . . . . . .
With Sukiyaki, I could not recall the tune except if I listened to it on YouTube or the tune suddenly came to me again. (Re Why did I wake up hearing a song about Japanese food? ) It had been some days now since I first heard And I Love You So, and it still came on all the time. It might be the music was beautiful and the song was easy to recall.
As I had mentioned, I was not into remembering songs or lyrics. If this hearing music upon waking up occurred years earlier (i.e. before I subscribed to the Internet), I would not be able to find out what I heard.
Today is March 25. I published my first post on the same day eight years ago. Thank you for allowing me to connect with you through this blog.
Love,

She saw an image of a motherly figure
Greetings!
I joined the Thursday Circle near the end of May 2005. Whenever it was my turn to introduce myself, I often said, "I am Q of D. I am simple * .(* see P. S.) I had some mystical experiences, and had read hundreds of books. I only enjoyed reading other people's life stories on the spiritual path. I regarded myself as a novice on the spiritual journey because I did not know much about most spiritual stuff such as spiritual laws and spiritual practices.
Many in the circle were long time spiritual seekers. Some were professional light-workers (i.e. psychics, mediums and healers), and they said I was a healer. I did have a few past life kind of dreams that I was a healer or a spiritual counselor in western cultures as well as a couple of dreams in other Asian cultures. My dreams were interesting, but I always considered what happened in the past was the past. In my Dec. 2001 reading, my guides and angels urged me to go among people without delay; they said for me to write and teach more. They did not say anything about healing. (Of course, I knew now sometimes healing took place when I sat among people.) To teach or write was already something that I thought would never happen. I certainly could not imagine myself as a healer in a western culture. Therefore, I did not take what my friends said of me to heart.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
For weeks or months, I only talked when I had to or when the inner prompting to speak was strong. I did not share much of my experiences.
The incredible incident that involved Mary Magdalene happened about a month and a half after I joined the Thursday Circle. (Re my last post The Magdalene ) That morning the teacher gave me a small piece of paper right after I entered the center. She asked me to write down my name, fold the paper and put it in a basket. Others that arrived before me had done that, and those that arrived later were told to do the same. The teacher did not say why she asked us to do that. We had two new faces that day, one was a long time healer and the other was a musician.
As usual, we sat in a circle. As soon as I sat down, powerful energy *** enveloped my entire being. The teacher began to talk, and others joined in. I bathed in the wonderful field of energy, and did not join the discussion.
*** Around 1 am last night, I turned off the light and stood in front of the window. Looking up at the night sky, I told the divine what was on my mind. At the end, I said I really did not know how my life would unfold, and asked the loving divine to guide me. I reaffirmed my vow, "I will honor God the best I can; I will honor God in every way." When I woke up in the morning, I prayed again. And, I smelt the fragrance! This had not happened for a long time. As I sat in the circle enjoying the energy, I knew what happened must have much to do with my prayer. (Re the fragrance, please click to view The Grace of God )
At one point, the discussion of marriage got my attention. The teacher said marriage was not different from any relationship, we should not think we must attach to a marriage; sometimes we had to let go. As I listened, I thought of my Dec. 2001 reading. (Re Do you really mean what you pray for? )
When the discussion was over, the teacher said we were going to practice billet reading. Each one of us took one paper randomly from the basket. We would not know whose name was on the paper because it was folded. The teacher encouraged us to say what came to our mind or the visions we saw while holding the paper. She said the reading was for what was to come. We should only unfold the paper after we finished relating what came to us.
For a while, we sat in silence. A friend sitting to my left began relating the things that came to her. We had fun because we never knew what his or her visions were for until he / she unfolded the paper. Amazingly, a woman actually drew her own name. She said this person was of that profession, and she was!
The owner of the center was the 3rd or 4th one to talk about what she saw. She said she got a shot of energy when she held the paper in her hands. She said this person (a female) was a very powerful healer. For quite a while, she related her visions of this woman and her healing work. Suddenly, she paused. Then she said, "But, her healing work is also through speaking . . . .(there was more to what she said) . . . . I see the image of a motherly figure behind her, yet is not her mother, this motherly figure was a very powerful being, and I get that her name was Mary."
When she said Mary, it was then I thought, "Is she talking about me?" She unfolded the paper and said my name.

When I wrote The number I set for three old luggage bags, I did not know I would write four follow-up posts and share these personal experiences. The human I might not know it, but everything was probably meant to unfold in divine timing. Incidentally, a recent channeled message through Natalie Glasson was from Mary Magdalene. The Ascended Masters had always said they served all of humanity. Their messages were forever loving. Since 2018, I had followed their guidance to say the invocations and affirmations they taught. In my experiences, their messages and guidance helped me greatly on my spiritual path.

Tonight my son drove me to a spiritual gathering. I had not gone to any gathering for months. The night before I got an email that 25 people would attend. It was the first time I went there. The place might be big enough to hold 30 to 40 people, but over 60 people had come. Soon the place was out of chairs. My son voluntarily gave up his seat. The couple that hosted the event was wonderful. It was a good gathering.
Spring is here! I look forward to go places by myself.
Many blessings,

P. S. * I held the view of equality since I was young. To me, we are equal, and no one is superior or inferior. For example, I love and respect my teachers, but I do not hold them as superior. When I was asked to say something about me, the word 'simple' seemed to be the right word to describe myself. Indeed, I see myself as simple, and simple does not denote I feel inferior.

The Magdalene
Greetings!
On Tuesday March 31, 2009, I went to the healing prayer service which I had participated regularly since Jan. 2008. I brought with me two books and a disc about Mary Magdalene. I also printed out some notes of what I had learned from different books. This day I was determined to speak up. I loved this small church, and, if we loved Jesus, how could we slight the one he loved the most?
After the prayer service was over, I talked to my friends. A brother said he did not know the Catholic Church had cleared Mary's name in 1969. In fact, most of my friends in the prayer service were not aware of that. The brother was skeptical of what I learned from the books. He said someone he knew well had been channeling about Mary Magdalene. As far as he had heard, there was indeed a darker side about Mary, and it contradicted to what I said. I said, "According to the book, the Church had cleared Mary's name in 1969. I do not know the truth. It may be you can find out from the Internet." (I only subscribed to the Internet near the end of 2010. As I was writing this post, I decided to look it up online. It was true the Church had cleared Mary's name in 1969.) I looked at my friends in the circle. I said, "I speak up today because our church portrayed Mary as a sinner during last year's Easter Sunday service. What I learn from the books may not be totally true, but, I do think we need to have an open mind. If we love and respect Jesus, how can we disrespect Mary Magdalene, the woman he loved?"
Later, I went to the office to look for the pastor that might be working that day. She was not there. When I was about to leave, she walked down the stairs. Before I got into the details, she said she agreed with me. (I realized she could be meditating upstairs, and our talking had distracted her.) She asked to borrow the books and disc. She promised to read them as well as passed on what I said to the senior pastor. Thank you, Sister.

As I was writing this post, some past experiences came to my mind.
One day while I was with the Thursday Circle, a spiritual teacher from another state was with us. During our talk, she suddenly said she had channeled Mary Magdalene for a while. She was a Christian, and what came through contradicted to that of the bible. She did not like conflicts, and decided to stop channeling. (I was with the circle from May 2005 to August 2007. This probably happened in 2006.) I did not ask any question even though I wanted to know more. It might be I did not want to talk about my own strange experiences (i.e. the small green bible incident and I had brought home the wrong book ). As a result, we moved on to talk about other subjects.
In my last post If we love Jesus, how can we . . ., I mentioned that for quite some time I did not read the books on Mary Magdalene that my younger son had gifted me. Subconsciously, I would rather know nothing (or little) about Mary for I did not want to let what I knew tamper the truth. The spiritual teacher's experience was an example of what I meant.
The author of one of the books that my son gifted me also experienced conflicts as the spiritual teacher did. The book was Mary Magdalene, Bride in Exile by Margaret Starbird. There was a supplementary disc at the back of the book. When I went to the healing prayer circle, I brought with me the disc in which she talked about her experience and what she had found out about Mary the Magdalene after her research. If you are interested in her talk, please search on YouTube "Bride in Exile, Margaret Starbird".
As I recalled what happened, I thought of the channel that the brother mentioned when we discussed about Mary Magdalene. Mary was a common name, and there were different women named Mary in the bible. If the channel believed Mary was a woman of the street, it was likely that was the Mary she channeled through. Some months earlier, another woman from a nearby state said she channeled messages from the angels. She eventually realized that she had been channeling from her own ego and fear. (Re The Unexpected Incident , The Gathering , The Dream of 99 on 4 corners of Big Dollar Bills and Afterthought of the whole experience )
I also remembered an incredible incident that involved Mary. It happened about a month and a half after I joined the Thursday Circle. I might share with you in another post.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The two books that I brought with me on 3/31/2009 were The Gospel of Mary of Magdala by Karen L. King and The Two Marys by Sylvia Browne. (The former one and the book by Margaret Starbird were my son's gifts to me.)
Was the Magdalene a title? According to one author's research, Magdala did not exist during Mary's time. Was it true the name of the place was only found in maps of later years? As I told the brother, I really did not know the truth.
A few months later, I let my hand guide me to borrow some books from the library. At home, I began to read Explorer Race and Beyond by Zoosh through Robert Shapiro. Finally, I found some answers to my questions. (Re The conclusion of the mystery of a twin sister )
In the book, it talked about Jesus and Mary as well as the Magdalene.
Amazingly, as if to confirm what I wrote, I found these words in a recent channeled message by Natalie Glasson -
Good night! (Next post She saw an image of a motherly figure )

In the book, it talked about Jesus and Mary as well as the Magdalene.
The Magdalene is a functional instrument (energetic instrument) given to individuals who are on a particular line of spiritual connection, not a bloodline . . . Whosoever was getting old and had the Magdalene would pick out a child who felt right . . . then the Magdalene would be given to the child.Mary was called Mary the Magdalene after she had received the energetic instrument. This functional instrument also carried the energies of those that had brought it forth before Mary. In other words, it now carried Mary's energy and memory of her life too.
Amazingly, as if to confirm what I wrote, I found these words in a recent channeled message by Natalie Glasson -
The Christ Consciousness is known as a pure vibration, expression and consciousness of love. Master Jesus, the Magdalenes and the many disciples embodied and shared the power of the Christ Consciousness, which is love in action.What is the Christ Consciousness? Christ Consciousness is love in action.
Good night! (Next post She saw an image of a motherly figure )
