[Since my last posting was Lao Tzu talking about the Balance between Hope and Connectedness, it makes sense to me to follow up with a message on each of those individually — this one on Hope (from Mary Magdalene). — Rob]
Rob: I drew a card earlier on Hope from the Magdalena, so I’m thinking we’re going to have a conversation with her. Magdalena joins me from my right side. She’s almost skipping — kind of jumping — her way over.
Mary, thank you so much for joining me. You’re clearly in a good mood today. Do you have any messages for me?
Magdalena: Oh yes, Rob. Thank you so much. This is such a great day! I hope you spend the day in a state of joy, for what is there not to feel joyful about? You’re with your dear friends; you’re having a good time; communicating with all of us: what’s not to enjoy?!
You drew the card today of Hope. I would like to say a few words. Hope is intimately tied with the feeling of Joy, for in the feeling of Hope, how can one not feel joyful? Hope is rooted in the understanding that you ARE One, that you are part of the Mother’s Divine Radiance, the part of that Universal Love that animates everything. That knowing is inherently hopeful. All will be right with the world, with your life, with your relationships, your partnerships. It all comes from the same place.
And, yes, as you surmised, it’s all tied together with balance and humility and alignment and surrender and your deepest passions. I embodied all these qualities, and so do you. So do all of you. Go within as often as you think of it, and feel them. Feel each of those. They’re all tied together.
But just as the Keys of Heaven are all rooted in Love, the Keys to your sweet Self are all rooted in Hope, that you are one with each other and with heaven.
Again, I come back to the beginning. How can this not fill you with a sense of Joy with each and every breath? Life is meant to be fun. And it can be, will be, it is, as soon as you accept this — your role in it, in the world, in the basis of your very existence. You are here to be an expression of Joy. And in sharing that with everyone enough, you are then an expression of Hope.
We love you all dearly. And we are so happy for the progress you’re all making in rediscovering yourselves.
With that, I throw you all the biggest hug! With our love, farewell.
