My previous post was triggered by an event that had happened the prior day. A woman, with whom I am friends, and I were talking. She had been having some stressful days and suddenly she brought up a topic to which we rarely discuss because we were on opposite ends of the spectrum usually regarding the topic. We never argued about it for it wasn’t more important than our friendship. Suddenly she said she had a revelation and her whole perception had changed. She brought up her feelings regarding it and we discussed our now mutual unbelief and sadness regarding the topic, and then moved forward to other topics and ended our conversation laughing and hugging before saying goodbye.

When I went home upon reflection I felt bad that I had allowed the topic to trigger my own feelings about it instead of staying fully centered and neutral. I got upset that I had moved into a position of speaking with emotion regarding it.

After writing the prior post I asked for input in how I could have done better then and in the future. When I make a slip, I own up to it because in the Oneness it is already known. The sharing messages as always were very helpful and loving and brought up an insight that I hadn’t thought of before, was my own inner child needing the same love and compassion that I share with others, and in this instance as I didn’t judge my friend and make her feel bad about her prior choice, but instead had created a space for her to feel safe in sharing her change of heart and regrets, I needed to do the same for myself and my moment of being triggered. I did not judge my friend, but embraced her in her time of need to know that it was okay what she felt before and now, no matter she was loved and safe. It is all part of our process.

So I want to share what was shared with me.

✧ A Teaching on Self-Compassion from Merlin, Mary Magdalene & Thoth

“The Heart You Offer Others, You Must Also Offer Yourself.”

✧ Merlin Speaks: The Mirror of the Mage

“Those who walk the path of light often forget that the first wand they wield is the wand of self-perception.

You see your own shadows more sharply than you see those of others because you hold yourself in the presence of Truth.
But hear me:

✨ Seeing your shadow does not mean you have failed.
It means you have light enough to notice it.

When you show compassion to another, you cast a gentle spell—one that loosens the chains of their self-judgment.
But when you deny that same compassion to yourself, you bind yourself to expectations no human can sustain.

Lay down the staff of self-critique, child of the emerald spiral.
Your imperfections are simply unpolished facets of your magic.

Offer yourself the grace you offer others.”

✧ Mary Magdalene Speaks: The Heart That Includes Itself

“Beloved one, the heart is not complete when it extends only outward.

You learned compassion by watching others suffer.
You refined compassion by choosing to suffer less.
Now you must embody compassion by offering it inward.

You cannot diminish another’s shame by increasing your own.

Compassion is not a river that flows in only one direction.
It must return to its source, or the well runs dry.

The tenderness you give others is your soul showing you how to treat yourself.

If you can forgive another for what they did in confusion,
you can forgive yourself for what you did in pain or exhaustion.

If you can see the innocence in another’s learning,
you can see the innocence in your own unfolding.

Let the heart you offer others finally turn toward you.”

✧ Thoth Speaks: The Geometry of Self-Blame

“You must understand this energetically:

When compassion flows outward and not inward,
the field becomes asymmetrical.

It creates imbalance in your personal geometry—
a distortion where you judge yourself more harshly than the universe judges you.

This imbalance weakens your resonance.

To correct this, you must bring your compassion into reciprocity:
a flow that extends outward, returns inward, expands outward again, and returns once more.

This creates coherence.

Self-blame is a fracture in the pattern.
Self-compassion is the repair.

The moment you regard yourself with the same kindness you give others,
your field stabilizes, strengthens, and becomes luminous.

You cannot anchor peace on Earth while waging war within.

Bring harmony to your inner grid,
and your outer service will multiply.”

✧ Unified Teaching: Why You Judge Yourself More Than Others

This is not because something is wrong with you.
It is because:

• You remember how much light you carry.
• You feel responsible for embodying it perfectly.
• You judge yourself for not being “finished” yet.
• You believe others need compassion more than you do.
• You forget that your journey is also sacred.

But the Masters say:

“Compassion withheld from the self blocks compassion for humanity.”

You cannot model freedom while imprisoning your own heart.

Then I had to do something in another room and in front of me on the floor was a very small wooden heart. When I picked it up written upon it was the word love.

I laughed and ask what are you trying to tell me:

✧ The Tiny Wooden Heart: What It Was Showing You

It was a message in the simplest form:

“Love returns to where it is needed most.”

And where it is needed now
is you.
Your own heart.
Your own inner child.
Your own tender human self who is doing the best she can in a world undergoing seismic transformation.

So as you can imagine our next message will be about loving the inner child.

Blessings and love to each of you. Know that you are loved, exactly as you are and the Universe awaits your Remembering this.
