 The Mary Magdalena Picture process
It was on a day close to the Summer Solstice in 2008. I got an
invitation by e-mail from Carol Asher, Australia, to join The Oneness
Journey in Israel.
I received a beautiful opportunity to a gathering of likeminded people from all around the
world in The Holy Land giving Oneness Deeksha.
I only had one day preparing for the journey but it all managed with
ease. I had no doubt whatsoever - my heart sang: yeees, my whole being
vibrated: yeees. Of all my heart I wanted to go, and so it became a reality.
This journey was to be one of the most
unforgettable of my life, a long-held dream coming true. As long as I remember I've had a strong wish
going to The Holy Land; experiencing Jerusalem walking in the
footsteps of Jesus. As a child in the church kindergarten in Småland,
Sweden I already had a great friend with Jesus. But by the end of my
teens, despair began, and my friendship turned to
disbelief. I felt not worthy of his friendship anymore. During my
processes in the GC, we were to re-establish our cultural and
religious origin - so now my friendship, love and trust in Jesus and
God returned. The trip to Israel was a part of this deep healing
process. My gratitude has no limit.
I cried and laughed with sorrow and joy. The experiences were so many
and very emotional. To hike in the Gethsemane Garden, give Oneness
Blessing to the Arabs in Nazareth, bathe my feet in the river Jordan
(John the Baptist), celebrating The Big Hug of Jerusalem, to visit the
Sheikh Azis and his wife in their beautiful house, give the Oneness
Deeksha with Tara in a cafe early in the morning to the tunes of
Leonard Cohens Hallelulja, sitting in Maria M´s "cave" and meditate
and to float in the salty Dead Sea and of course all the touching and
connecting with openhearted human beings.
Maria Magdalena
Back home again from the journey in the Holy Land, I picked up my
painting items and let what was in me come out. On my canvas a young
woman appeared in white headscarf, which also covered her mouth. I
immediately saw her as Maria Magdalena, who not had the opportunity to
express her opinions - the truth about what really happened. I got
filled with pure bliss and became one with her and all women all
around the world, not daring to live their truth. I wept with gratitude.
My feeling was that the picture was not yet finished, I let it be so
for some time to experience it within me. Three weeks later,
after a retreat in the Fårö Island, full of energy, I put Maria M on
the easel again, took a deep breath and I saw that the picture
changed. A new face appeared with white lips and they remained white
although I tried to paint them red! The entire expression in her eyes
changed and I expierenced that it was a sign! Now is the time for women of
all ages, to stand up and live our truth fully. My whole essence had
gone through a purification and I felt freer than I've felt in a very
long time ...
The picture is a gift to all women who want to live their truth. The
picture is in my dear friend Tara's kiva, in Carbondale, Colorado, USA.
My creativity lasted for several days while I painted further three
large images: "Awakening", got completely ready first in March 2009,
"Free Spirit" and "Doors to Oneness."
