Judith Kusel ~ THE MAGDALENE AND THE HIGHER MYSTERIES OF INITIATION.

Osiris-and-Isis_art Mary Magdalene is perhaps the most discussed woman in that she has been recorded in the past and present as both sinner and saint. The underlying reason for the continued fascination with the Magdalene, is that she in so many ways epitomizes what women, as a collective have had to go through within Atlantis and then in the aftermath of Atlantis. She stands for what has been rejected and suppressed, as well as that which has been resurrected and brought into the openness and Light she deserves to stand for. She, in a sense is that Mystery which embraces all of life, and perhaps more than we realize the fact that with the fall came the judgments, the labeling, and therefore then most often the persecution of what one does not understand, because one is of a lower vibration, and cannot comprehend the higher pathways and calling in life. I won’t go deeper into the mystery and revelation of Mary Magdalene here, as I was led a path since even before 2008, when my true initiations took on a much higher form, but I have found her popping up in so much of my reading and research, since I can remember, and then just being led to books in which she was mentioned. She was but like a catalyst who brought about my own inner awakening to the Goddess energies, and the higher meaning of certain hidden things, that she, with Isis, herself became like a guiding light in my journey. I personally could never relate to Mother Mary, as much as I could relate to these two remarkable women, and in that then immensely glad to finally have to the two put together, like I had already done, and confirmed in the book by Tom Kenyon: “The Magdalene Manuscript”. This is then again, as Tom himself states, not a book for those who seek quick fixes, nor do not wish to delve deeper into the mysteries, and just want to have their curiosity fixed. It was as if finally my own initiations and my own path, and all that I had had in recalls, and knowing in the inner planes, were not only confirmed, but I started to trust my own inner guidance more, and started to trust what has happening to me in ways I could not have before. All I can say is that there have always been women, like me, who have incarnated and purposefully chose the highest pathways and byways, and therefore had to follow the path of the highest purity. It was a soul choice and therefore one which the uninitiated will never understand. It is a path which will lead you into delving into the Mysteries in ways which no ordinary human being can ever understand. My Mystery Schools were not earthly ones, but they were just as real as what people perceive as real. There are many dimensions and forms of life existing simultaneously even within the earthly planes, and then I am not even mentioning the cosmos. As each initiation took me ever deeper into the Mystery of Womanhood, and Goddesshood, I started to grasp an innate understanding that life here on this planet is but an illusion, and that the truth of the soul will always lead to experiencing life on many levels. Yet, most people will never understand this, and will seek their salvation and their happiness totally in the material world. Yet the material world is but one single strand in the immense tapestry of interwoven life within the cosmic whole! I am often asked about sacred sex and the sacred sexual rites, and I have been initiated into the higher mysteries of these, but again, in ways which human beings will not understand. So many people get stuck on the physical, when the sexual energy transcends just the physical, and is an energy source within itself. It can be used in animal ways (and even animals do not abuse this energy so much as human beings do) and in higher creative ways, which transcend time and space. The uninitiated will look at sexual performance, the size of their penis, techniques, having the adrenalin rush, become sex junkies, and all will just add to their being stuck in the denseness of the 3D world. This is because there is the self-seeking, the self-serving factors here. It is the “I WANT” factor which is never ever satisfied and will always look over the fence to new excitement and new ways to exploit the energy. That is what fall of humankind was all about. The deeper one delves into the Mystery itself, the more aware one becomes of POWER. Any power, as energy, is like a two-edged sword: – it is neutral within itself, but it can be used in baser ways, or in the highest possible way. The baser way always brings pain, while the higher way opens the portals to the ultimate state of transcended BEING. In Ancient Mystery Schools, there were many ranks of initiates, and only those who passed the severest tests of inner resilience, truthfulness, character, and the highest quest for purity, ever made it into the High Priesthood. Most never even made it to the first initiation into the priesthood, for they simply could not move past their own baser nature, their lower self, and step into their Higher Soul Self. The Higher Soul self is always connected to the Divine Heart and Mind. However the Divine heart and mind are EQUALLY empowered, thus the mind does not overpower or rule the heart. Indeed, the heart is the central hub, or powerhouse of all existence, and therefore the heart brings the balance to the mind, and not the other way round. When something is HEART-FELT, it moves in with intuition, truth, with authenticity. One can have all the knowledge in the world, but what use is it, if the heart-soul is not engaged? One can only step into the higher states of consciousness, and co-creatorship if the heart and mind are equally empowered and BALANCED. It is the same with those higher sacred sexual rites, for here the soul connects in a million ways to the expression of the love it holds within itself COSMICALLY. This is something which very few human beings understand, nor wish to explore, for delving deeper into themselves, and stopping the incessant chatter of the mind, scares them. So they rather stay stuck in the baser self, and then play games of manipulation, of control, of using the baser emotions, like jealousy, degrading, etc. in order to make the other party prey to their own desires. The higher pathways of initiations will always lead you back to your own soul, and your own inner core being. To deny your soul, and your heart, in anything, is to deny half of your own existence. If your intention is true, then it will be that you will have to be willing to walk your talk, to truly be able to walk alone if need be, for most will not understand your path, for they are not able to tune into the higher pathways in life. What they do not understand, they ridicule or persecute. There have always been women, like the Isis, like the Magdalene, who have followed this highest pathway and paid the highest price for it, within this world. Yet, for those who are highly initiated into the highest Sisterhood of the Rose (and this NOT an earthly one), will always understand the meaning of the thorns, as much as the higher meaning of purity, integrity, authenticity, as well as a total heart-soul connection to the Divine Goddess herself. She cannot sacrifice herself into the lower nature – she can only follow the highest path – for she has a vow of purity which she cannot transcend. And therefore this path of utter purity will test her to the very core – and that is her initiation. That is why, when one finally understands the context of the immensity of this, that it is the greatest irony that Mary Magdalene was remembered in the Bible as a prostitute and a fallen woman: when in reality she was purity itself, for she would not have ranked as she did, if she had not gone through stringent initiations, and therefore the highest rites of purity of the Rose. Therefore in the context of the ancient sexual rites (as mentioned in Tom Kenyon’s book and in a higher sense I am referring to, but not all of it as that I know): it demanded the highest pathways of purity and intent, and therefore the male and female both had to go through stringent initiations, in order to finally be able to stand in the total purity, and nakedness of SOUL, and therefore that union was then transcendental, and it was then that of pure love. They therefore enhanced each other; activated immense power in both of them, and therefore the union became a fire of enlightenment, and the anchoring in of the highest forms of consciousness, which was totally transcendental. They were as one, and therefore then able to create a greater power energy source which would add more impact onto and into the work/energy they were creating together in balance and harmony with each other. Therefore they were working in tandem for the greater good of all. It is loving sacred union infused with Divinity, which is the highest kind of love. The negative ego and the baser animal nature, has no place there. Let those who have understanding – understand. Let those who seek truth – know. Let those who hear with the inner ears – hear. Let those who seek the higher pathways know that that the highest pathways always go through the SOUL, and therefore one cannot ever take the soul out of yourself, nor anything else. (Judith Kusel)
