THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MaRY
For the past three years I have felt a very strong connection to Mary Magdalene. It actually started when my ex partner took this picture of me.
We were in Rome.
I’ve always felt connected to God and believe I receive ‘downloads’ from the Divine. There are many people who also believe this.
To cut a very long story of signs and synchronicities, I was ‘guided’ to watch the Da Vinci Code ..
The ending of the story being that it was actually Mary Magdalene at the right side of Jesus and not John in the painting
‘The Last Supper’
Anyhow - I was taken back to this picture of mine and thought, I do look very similar to her.
magic causality??
I don’t just look at the fact I look like her in the painting and our bodies are in same position, I look at how behind her she has those lines in the background that correlate to my background, the positioning of Peters hand to her throat is eerily similar to my hand and … I can go on.
Now I’m aware this is a newer version of the original painting but I would be very interested to know the thoughts of those who study pareidolia and synchronicities.
Carl Jung's theory of synchronicity refers to the meaningful coincidences that occur in life. In simple terms, it's the idea that some events are connected not just by cause and effect, but by meaning.
Jung believed these moments are more than just random; they can reveal deeper connections between our inner thoughts and the external world.
In essence, synchronicity suggests that the universe can align in surprising ways, making us feel that there’s a greater significance behind certain events in our lives.
VOICE
Mary Magdalene’s life and the suppression of her voice can serve as a powerful parallel to the experiences of all individuals who have suffered a difficult life filled with trauma.
Just as Mary faced misrepresentation and marginalisation within a patriarchal society, individuals who endure child and adult trauma often grapple with feelings of inadequacy, fear of rejection, and distrust, leading to a silencing of their own voices.
Both Mary and these individuals may internalise negative beliefs about their worthiness to express themselves, resulting in emotional shutdown and withdrawal from authentic communication.
The cultural narratives that erase or distort voices, whether of a historical figure like Mary or those of trauma survivors, highlight a shared struggle for validation in the face of societal suppression.
Ultimately, both experiences underscore the profound impact of trauma and marginalisation on self-expression,
