Dear Hearts,
I am opened this morning to the exceptional love of Miri Magdalene. Master of relationship, Miri immersed her heart in a holy instant without limit. Joined with Jesus, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, she realized and demonstrated the true Love of God on earth. Their relationship was unbound by bodies, unframed by small minds, and unpossessed by ego.
Magdalene knew Jesus completely, in a way that allowed the demonstration of Life beyond a body, through a spiritual relationship, transcending the limits of the world. In the nous of her mind, she found Him faithful, the powers of their communion enabling her extraordinary experience, enVisioning the risen Christ after death.
At the entrance of the tomb she searched desperately for his corpse, looking for the one who had been crucified, asking of “the gardener,” what have you done with his body? Soon after, she Saw and announced the living Body of the Christ, her Beloved, the resurrected Son of God.
In her humanity, Miri hesitated. She did not quite believe it was Him. Some other way of communicating had to happen there. The old way of seeking with the senses, with small minded expectations, could not work. She had to stop looking for something she had learned was Jesus, and remember Him. Their relationship remains the eternal holy instant that can never be forgotten.
I am grateful to Magdalene for the demonstration of awakening. I too know Jesus (one in Being with our Father) as life right here, now. But I sometimes try to find him in my old learning, in some form from the past. I seek Him in ways obsolete and unfruitful. The holy instant helps me remember to feel for Him indwelling mySelf. This morning, at the entrance to stillness I heard:
Stop searching for me.
Stop seeking frantically.
I am come as your Queendom,
Your Paradise restored.
Do not look further
but rest in What is given.
Rest in What is Yours.
Adoration* does not journey,
Her heart not wanting,
Her soul not unsure.
Adoration simply adores,
having cast off the limits,
the bodies, the frames
and in this Holy Instant beams
the splendiferous Rays of Christ.
Shall we talk of the way,
the means of arrival?
Or shall we bask and bathe our hearts
in the Light of Our Father.
This is no gentleman’s embrace.
The hug of His Love a complete caress,
the gentleness that leaves no little
unhappiness, no unforgiveness,
a softness that gives Us sublime strength.
Love has touched
every particle of your being,
patient, waiting for Your perfection to awake,
already holding your Yes(!)
caressing your passioned consent
as We cross and bless
the threshold of unification,
comingling in appreciation
of the God-child, the Brides of glory,
the realized and Holy Relationship
of human and Creator Blessed.
Your search is over, the diamond found.
Beyond bodies in the utterly free field
of thejewel of all possibility,
Our Relationship shines,
attracting to it every lover of God,
every believer in beauty,
every desirous heart.
Irresistibly alluring to those
who have trusted Love,
We give it Reign.
This is Our holy instant this morning,
One perpetually blazing Thought
of indescribably beautiful appeal …
your Holy Beloved unlost, unsought,
forever in Love with You.
*Adoration is the name the Father has given my soul.
All Love,
MaryBeth
