the Shangra-la New Years conference in Los Angeles, California.
Answer from Mother Mary:
It is not correct that all apparitions have been precipitated through
black magic. However one might say that there has not been an example
where I could appear to the people in a pure form, for my beloved, who
am I? Am I the Mother Mary revered by Catholics, or am I the universal
Divine Mother for all human beings on Earth?
So you see, my beloved, the apparitions in Fatima were indeed genuine.
The apparitions in Medjugorje started out as genuine, but I have withdrawn
from that place. And so what you see, my beloved, is that even when
there was a genuine apparition, such as in Fatima, what the people saw
and how they interpreted the events was very much colored by their Catholic
beliefs. And so what I mean with that is that even though I let my light
shine, the people did not see the light in its pure form. They saw it
colored to a larger or smaller degree by their own consciousness, which
is precisely why I appeared to children who were less susceptible to
coloring the light than adults would have been.
Nevertheless, my beloved, you will see – if you studied the history
of Fatima – how the Catholic Church has used many subtle schemes
to cast that event in the “proper,” so to speak, Catholic
light, and thereby use it to reinforce people's beliefs in the Catholic
Church, and the belief that I or the apparitions supported the Catholic
Church and affirmed it as the only true Church. But in fact I gave prophecies
about the potential demise of the Church, if it was not willing to transcend
itself.
So one might say, my beloved, that when an apparition is colored by
people's beliefs to a certain degree, well that does become a form of
black magic. For now the people start projecting onto the event something
out of their own consciousness. They do not see what I came to show
them, they do not hear what I came to tell them. They see what they
want to see, they hear what they want to hear. And this has been the
case in Medjugorje, where the people's consciousness has created the
continuation of the so-called apparitions. And so the messages are no
longer coming from me, but are coming from people's consciousness. Not
that the messages are necessarily negative, but they do serve to uphold,
of course, the consciousness out of which they spring, my beloved.
And so you will see that it is the same challenge that we have described
that is the challenge
of Christ, where the first challenge is to recognize that the Christ
has appeared in this world. So the first challenge is to recognize that
the Divine Mother has appeared in a way that is beyond the material
world. But then comes the second challenge of Christ, which is—will
you then use that appearance to allow the Christ to take you beyond
your mental box, or will you superimpose the images from your mental
box upon the event, and therefore, so to speak, force the Christ to
fit into your mental box, so you have justification for not changing.
This is what you saw with Peter, my beloved, (Matthew 16:22-23) where
he recognized the Christ in Jesus, but then attempted to force Jesus
into his mental box. And that is why, as
we have said, from its inception the Catholic Church was based on
this approach of wanting to fit Christ into an earthly framework. And
thus, it should be no surprise that the church will also seek to force
an apparition of the Divine Mother into its Catholic framework. And
that is why we talk about a spiritual catch 22, where those who are
trapped in a certain illusion—well my beloved, how can we free
them from that illusion, if they are not willing to look beyond the
belief system that created the illusion?
Question: What about the apparition in Damascus, Syria in Soufanieh,
is this a real apparition or false one?
Kim: I am basically getting that it was a false one.
