Maria Magdalena via Ann Dahlberg, April 26, 2026
I am Maria Magdalena and I thought I would tell you a little about the journey I took on Earth a long time ago. It was a completely different time than the one you are in now. We washed ourselves and our clothes in the lake. We fetched water from a lake, spring or well. All the chores we did took much longer and we often worked long days. It wasn’t stressful, but it was often hard work and the body wore out faster. We didn’t get very old at that time and people started families early. It was the same for me. I was taught all the housework from my mother at an early age, but I also had the privilege of having some free time to play, which not all children had. My siblings and I made toys from natural materials and invented games based on our imagination, or we imitated the adult world as we experienced it. No one questioned anything, it was the adult world that decided. We were taught to obey early on. There was no point in protesting against something you thought was unfair, it was best to just accept and obey. The family always stood up for each other in relation to the outside world and it also included relatives. It could be a whole clan and you could also get help from each other with heavier work or if several people were needed to carry out a task. We also met during holidays and then we children had the opportunity to play with each other. Those were the highlights of the year that I often looked forward to.
I often sat and listened to the adults when they sat and talked to each other and because I was a nice and quiet child, they left me alone. I sat a little to the side and did something but my hearing was sharp. It was often about work and the daily hardships but sometimes they got into a little deeper spiritual things. It was about what the high priests had said and what it could mean. Everything the high priests said was sacred, that was what you had to obey. If you didn’t do it, you were punished and everyone thought that was right and proper. If it affected your own family, there could be divided opinions about the incident, but there was no legal right to contest a verdict. Compassion had not grown that strong at that time, so there were many who participated in the punishment of the unfortunate with spit and scorn. It was terrible, I refused to participate and was mostly allowed to stay home and be alone on such occasions when everyone was expected to participate. Yes, it was a hard time, but there was also love, joy and a great community. We were never alone or involuntarily isolated like you can be today. We never looked at the clock, we followed the movement of the sun and it wasn’t that complicated at that time. Professions were inherited, women were married off and you had to make the best of the situations you found yourself in.
I learned a lot from the adults but also from the children and nature that was around you. I loved flowers and animals so much that my free time was spent there. My grandmother taught me what the flowers were called and which plants were useful to eat. I loved the times I got to spend some time with my grandmother. She was a wise old woman and much of what she taught me I benefited from later in life. Today you don’t have much contact with the elderly and take advantage of their wisdom. You seek knowledge in a different way, there is an incredible amount of information in your world today. What you sometimes miss is the close contact with people’s different life destinies and the experiences they have given. We humans need each other, to be there for each other and support each other at different stages of our lives.
Don’t forget your neighbor, love for your neighbor is a cornerstone of the new approaching time.
I love you Maria Magdalena
