Create Abundance with Mother Mary

Excerpt from Create Abundance with Mother Mary by Jennifer Ruth Russell Mother Mary’s Invitation – where it all began My childhood brimmed with sacred fire preaching, hymns, and altar calls within a Presbyterian missionary family dedicated to spreading the gospel in Ethiopia. In my late teens, I felt disconnected from the patriarchal beliefs of evangelical Christianity and left the church in search of something different. For 20 years, I couldn't enter a sanctuary without feeling claustrophobic. During those years, my journey was one of trial and error, exploring life without the anchor of spirituality. This wandering left me with more questions and two failed marriages. As a full-time working musician in Los Angeles, I was now a single mother of a beautiful baby boy, struggling to pay rent. I was anxious, and my heart felt empty. Intrigued by a newspaper article about a local church hosting a Sunday afternoon jazz concert, I decided to attend. Even though I missed the concert, I was captivated by Science of Mind and Ernest Holmes teachings of Universal truth and Oneness. I ended up at Agape International Spiritual Center going through a 4-year study to become a Practitioner of Truth under the direction of Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith. I fell in love with myself and the Divinity within me. To take full responsibility for creating my own life was new and exciting. I found my true love Michael Gayle, a guitar player and producer. We began playing music around Los Angeles as a duo. Things seemed to be moving along nicely. My Practitioner practice started to grow and at the same time Michael and I were rocking my children’s songs in an arts program, This is Where I Live, at Los Angeles Unified School District with a full team of musicians. My dream, my vision unfolded. We bought a house, built a state-of-the-art recording studio in the lower level and we were busy with amazing original music projects. And then one day, December 8, 2008, everything that I had been building closed down with one email. The email simply said, “STOP all of your programs immediately; all of the arts money for the district has been dissolved into the general fund.” In less than a year, we lost the house and had to declare bankruptcy. The vision that I had been building fell apart. I was devastated and spiritually shaken. I questioned everything. What was I doing wrong? Do I really know Spirit? Am I worthy? Am I crazy? What about Mama God? Where is She? During this time, a dear friend gave me a book, The Seven Sacred Flames by Aurelia Louise Jones. The words on the pages of this book were my wellspring in the desert. I drank them in. I consumed them as a hungry lioness. I was captivated by one of the qualities of the 5th Ray of Healing and Manifestation; “Abundance flows from the Immaculate Heart of Mary.” What does that really mean? My quest began. I got a statue of the Virgin Mother. I heard several versions of the New Rosary and created my own. I added it to my spiritual practice. I called her name often. I was getting to know the other Lady Masters and the Archei, the Feminine Archangels, mostly by reading about them in the I AM Discourses and the Bridge to Freedom work that Saint Germain gave to us. In retrospect I realized that Mother Mary was nudging me to a closer connection. I collected pictures of her and had them all around me. I was invited to provide music for a spiritual conference in Ukraine. The most loving community greeted me. I was thrilled to see artwork of the Sacred Feminine everywhere. Traveling by van from Kiev down to Crimea, we stopped at a funky roadside attraction. I was glad to get out and stretch my legs and have a few moments alone. I vaguely remember a duck pond, overgrown gardens with statues, and places to sit. There were several older buildings filled with art relics. I entered one of the buildings and felt like I was in a sacred home from hundreds of years ago. There was faded floral wallpaper falling off the walls and a very old picture of Mother Mary with her hands on her heart, looking up. My heart immediately opened, as did my inner senses. I began to cry. She gently spoke my name and invited me to commune with her every day. She wanted to mentor me intimately. Many times, our daily tryst would simply be me asking questions and receiving answers. Sometimes She would just hold me in Love. When Mother Mary mentors you, your heart begins to melt all resistance. She healed my heart, my life, and my finances. Mother Mary asked me to step up and be her voice in helping those working in the Light to take dominion in their money life. She literally put me on notice a week before my mini course, Abundance Activation, began. Mother Mary and the Angels of Abundance wanted to download a message for each day of the course and make it into a book. The book, 21 Days to Abundance through the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary, was born in the stillness of the Union of our Hearts and within a circle of spiritual students. She answers the urgent call from Lightworkers for a new paradigm of wealthy spiritual leadership. As you prepare to read the first part of this book, I suggest that you set aside 21 days and read one message a day in sequential order. This is an intimate process that Mother Mary and the Angels of Abundance will take you through one glorious step at a time. Have your journal handy and give yourself the spaciousness to let go. Throughout Create Abundance with Mother Mary, you’ll notice that certain words are capitalized that are not typically treated this way in conventional writing. This is a deliberate choice. Words like Abundance, Presence, Love, and Divine are capitalized when they point to their higher spiritual or universal essence—not just the general or everyday use of the word. For example: • abundance refers to a general sense of having plenty • while Abundance refers to the infinite, living Source of provision that flows from the Divine This style choice honors the sacred nature of certain principles, beings, and qualities as living spiritual realities rather than abstract concepts.
