Deeper Meaning

- The story's theme is the transformative power of love, faith, and hope, highlighting how self-discovery and healing are essential to finding inner peace and divine connection. By bravely confronting inner shadows and embracing the journey of growth, we can rediscover our intrinsic light—the Divine Spark—and radiate that light to the world.
- Healing Through Service: María's transformation is closely tied to her kindness toward the animals, symbolizing that helping others not only heals them but also nurtures her heart.
- Faith and Perseverance: María learns to trust in divine guidance through trials. She realizes her struggles are blessings in disguise, shaping her into a stronger, more loving being.
- The Heart as a Portal: The story emphasizes the heart as the gateway to divine communion and the transformative power of love and faith.

Grandma Mary's Journal Entries Letter
My hope is that this little book will help my family and any other person who feels as lost as I was find the light within themselves and find their way back home. That should be the goal for all of us. My prayer is that, “Those who have ears to hear, let them hear. And those who have eyes to see, let them see.”
When I was 17, I momentarily died, and when I crossed to the other side, God met me, and he gave me this wisdom and understanding to share with the world.
We are all unique and have different roles to play in completing our mission here on Earth. Your job should be the most important because we are in a body. Use your work to bring the Spirit of God back into our lives. It’s God's will that we turn out the way we are so we might see ourselves in each other.
We are all supposed to research ourselves, but we are watching everyone else. If we are honest, we will see many fine things and imperfections in each other. That’s why God draws our attention to others' faults: so that we can pay attention to these things within ourselves.
We are here to learn right from wrong. We can’t learn anything unless we have all these samples in front of us, both good and bad, and right from wrong. We all have a little of the evil side and the good inside of us. It’s what helps us to be able to keep balance at all times. In every situation, the mustard seed planted in us even before birth teaches us about everything, just as it has taught each of us to remain in God.
Many of us, however, can’t stop looking back. We can’t seem to move past our past. I must let go of my negativity to be able to leave this world when my time comes to die.
Had I known all these things before, I would have continued walking in that straight line. The Bible says we will be refined like gold as we enter the fire, but with our Lord holding our hand. God has done this with me. He has taken me back in time and personally shown me times when I should have been brave and unafraid. The Lord has brought me through my weakest moments, and he wasn’t angry with me when he revealed my other side; the part I had been too much of a coward to face. The Lord assured me we all have shameful past events that we would rather not face.
So, in essence, we continue to relive our past until we have enough courage to face these shadow parts of ourselves and find forgiveness within our hearts.
Every day, we all relive a memory from our roots, from past generations. We all relive history until, one by one, we all find out who we are and where we are. We observe more than react, as we discover who and where we are. The tiny puzzle pieces slowly fall into the right places, and we become whole again.
Whenever we dismiss a problem that we can’t deal with, it goes into our subconscious mind, and sooner or later, we will have to deal with it. The body keeps us in that place until we deal with all the rework assigned to us. The Bible tells us not to ask for death because Jesus lives inside of us to give us hope.
Our father wants to open the door to us all, but it all starts when we open all the doors to the unknown. The unknowns are our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us that have become our agreements with ourselves. Our beliefs are locked deep within our subconscious mind. Without realizing it, these subconscious beliefs become the very things of our past, trap our present, and create our future.
For me to help Jesus save me, I would have to know that I wasn’t stuck here because of the sins of my family and ancestors. We each create our separation from God, our hell, because of our lack of forgiveness for others and ourselves. We are the ones who build our barriers to God through our attachments. We must all start by letting go of our fear, which requires us to Trust.
Deep down inside, we knew of all the pain we would suffer, but we volunteered to return once more. We knew that this time would be the last. Because God is our father, this world will remain until we all become brave enough to receive our gifts. It might take another billion years, but we will eventually find the narrow path back home to our true strength.
A personal relationship with God is crucial so he can take you to these places for healing. We can only go to these places when we have enough trust to journey into these dark and hidden places. In essence, as the Bible says, we must be brave enough to go on a quest to find those hidden treasures. It is only then that we can soften our hardened hearts and truly become free to create a different future.
When God took my hand, I learned we shouldn’t judge others. When we judge, we aren’t looking at anyone else’s faults but the memories God reveals about ourselves. A time will come when we will have to judge ourselves.
We are already in our day of judgment. Whatever we fear will attack us. Our fear keeps us from facing the light, so each of us needs to understand and recognize the origins of our fears. If you become frightened, say the Lord’s prayer over and over until the fear leaves you. The Lord’s prayer has become my mantra and helped me through my darkest times.
Hell is a forever place until we find that narrow path that the bible speaks of. All of us went into the same place so that individually, we can judge ourselves and find forgiveness for our wrongs. The loving God has no memory of our sins; however, we continue to repeat these same things. We are like the lambs that are being killed all day long. We die in Christ but are also continually resurrected in him because he is the one who gives us life. In many ways, we don’t know if we are alive or dead.
This world is a mind trip that we need to learn to wake up from. We are all here to fulfill our dreams, find forgiveness for others, and forgive ourselves. When we forgive, we erase a terrible memory, heal ourselves, and become complete and whole again. Forgiveness is for our self-healing and self-love.
Only then do we finally find the divine light within us, receive joy, and begin to reintegrate with those lost parts of ourselves again, known as the Great Awakening. We begin to separate the waters from the waters.
The whole truth will fall right on your lap if you open your mind and step one step beyond. Even before the world was, we were there with God. All of us are a cell in Beloved. Because Christ is inside us, he continues to suffer within us until we all conclude that he is the only one with a body; we are all simply memories in him.
We are all tiny bits of the soul, helpers inside of Jesus, assisting with the reintegration caused by the original separation. When we die, the spirit goes back to where it came from. We can’t hold on to anything in this world. We must pray for all who have hurt us. Jesus said that this world does not readily accept the truth.
Our Father gives us all that we ask for. First, we must ask for health, patience, and a strong heart. Think positive thoughts, cast away negative ones, and continually renew your mind. Peace, joy, love, and light are ours to claim. Speak life; like Jesus, we are all here to serve each other and our world.
