Contemplation isn’t escape—it’s transformation. Discover how inner stillness rewires perception, reveals the hidden presence of Mary Magdalene, and ignites a revolution of sacred seeing.
Christianity gains so much by bringing Mary Magdalene back into the story. For 2000 years it has been used & abused by a patriarchal, aggressive empire to conquer & convert — leaving Christianity cold, harsh, & hollow. Mary Magdalene revives in Christianity a warm, compassionate heart full of love & kindness. Peaceful contemplation instead of Crusade battles. 🙏
Well honestly it would’ve been a lot better for me ( at least IMHO) if they’d totally knocked me out. The quasi-sleep had me certain the dr was hammering the pacemaker into my upper chest rather than smoothly sliding it into an incision induced pocket to electronically blend with my heart in harmonious unity. Now I get to experience a couple weeks living with only one useful arm & grounded at home for at least one week ( no driving)
Total forgot mercury goes into retrograde today. The adventure rolls on, trusting the Divine’s plan however different than mine (turns out better that way)
hope yours has smoothed out for the near future! 😘
Instead of fleeing, stay present. Say inwardly: “I am here. I do not flee.” So powerful. The words sending a vibrational charge through me. The answer to the question I’ve been asking for nine months. What am I called to do?

I love the way you feel & how it spills out of you 💝
Beth! Are you back home now? I hope everything with the surgery went well. 💜
I like the way you think 😉 (and wink)

🍵Just be lazy! Embrace the not-doing, hang out with the tchotchkes, read lots of Substack. Everything else can wait for a week, my friend.👩🏻🦳🕊️
I love the image of sitting with Magdalene at the tomb in my contemplation.
I completely agree about the effects of meditation on the mind-spirit complex.
Sitting in contemplation burns illusions, this truth alone rewires the soul.
I applaud your efforts and commitment to resurrecting Magdalene as more than just a symbol.
I can envisage the power of sitting in contemplative meditation with her in the tomb.... Thank you for transporting me into that imagery...🙏🙏
When you said contemplation re wires how we perceive , I love this
and also
can not help think of our children. So
little space they have today. Those with phones ans extra curricular .. and study.
Which edition of the book of Mary do you recommend?
I like "The Meaning of Mary Magdalene" by Cynthai Bourgeault.
Thanks!
