That we can “kick ass”

(This passage was channeled in October of 2020. Before we (my friend Andi and myself) began this session we were talking about Mary during her lifetime as the mother of Jesus. We wondered about how much she understood of what was to come when agreeing to be Jesus’ mother. Mary then said the following…

There is something serious for you in your wondering about who I was. Who was the woman who bore this son? (Mary and Jesus) And did she know the full ramifications of the request when the request was made? Did she understand what she was saying “yes” to, did she truly understand? And if she had truly understood, truly understood, in her bones…if she had truly understood would she have said “yes” still?

In Spirit we know, we know more than we tell you at times.

Would I have said “yes” if I had fully known?

This is where we stand as mothers, whether or not the child comes forth with such an agenda, shall we say. Every mother sits in the space of do I agree when I know some part of my life will be forever intertwined with this being? Do I agree? Do I agree to this level of vulnerability?

As a mother I will open my eyes, my heart, my being, and know that a part of me passes through and is forever connected to the other. As mothers, we must consider the monumental-ness of this agreement. And we know, whether we let ourselves know or not, we know, we know that life changes for us.  We know it will change our trajectory.

It is a moment, a sacred moment.  It is honorable. It is a passing of honor in both directions. The child does the mother honor by asking and the mother does this honor by accepting.

And sometimes it is as if we say, “Please choose me. Please be my mother in this lifetime.” It is the greatest gift to ask another for assistance. See this is what they (the children) are doing, they are coming in and saying, “will you do this for me?” And you do not have to say yes.

What do you feel in this moment?

Ultimate certainty that there is no other answer to be given. There is no consideration, no deliberation process. This is how it was for me. There was no deliberation. It does not mean that afterwards there is not the moment of, “what is this? (laughing) What have I agreed to? Why have I asked this of myself?” And there are moments along the way of clarity and knowing that something in this path is going to be very painful for me.

The agreement moment is always there as the days are more difficult, and the realization of the challenges become more real. We have this kernel inside in which we know; there was no other path. There wasn’t.

But I would be denying my own humanness in that lifetime if I were not to say at times it was very painful. And very despairing at times, the doubt. If this was the path of light, why then is it going in this way? If this is the path to God, why then is this happening? This is a larger human difficulty, these moments.

If this is full of light, then why… this suffering?  

This is what you wonder now, this year…

Now, many years later, we can see there was no other way. And rightly so we ask, “Where did the strength lie?” It is often with a woman. Not always. But often.

This is what is happening on the planet now. This is why I come, why I talk and visit and am present. Waking up this strength, the strength that enables us to make choices like this.

We do know bravery, we do know courage, we do know strength. This is true. It is this knowing that we are coming back to, to knowing that we can (shall we say) “kick ass”, hmmmm?
