Trust, Surrender & Allow – Us Together!

In our practice group, recently, we all channeled our higher selves, or how we conceive our divine levels to be, to guide us on living the energies. We Trust this will be of interest to others as it is of value to us, and Surrender the need to control the outcomes and, yes, Allow the Great Blessings of the Universe to show up in our every days… Just like someone drowning fights their rescuer, so too, we make it harder on ourselves by our resistance – doubts, fears, exhaustion, stress…. Lighten up & brighten up, folks, a New Earth is Now. With Love & Compassion, Jennifer

Jen: All right, so taking the question: How am I Trusting, Surrendering and Allowing – in the sense of allowing myself to detach from my sense of accomplishment or my sense of goals, or [from] my sense of not trusting myself enough to choose my own path each day, for my own highest good. Instead, I question myself, and I doubt whether I am accomplishing enough, and I wonder if I’m proceeding without trying to control.  

Am I proceeding in grace and in fulfillment of the higher purpose, in fulfillment of the divine plan? And the divine plan “for me”-  as was channeled to Jo Ann [my teammate]? Not only the divine plan for Earth or for all of Life, but the divine plan for me, which is another way of saying my own sacred purpose. I think my tendency to want to accomplish gets in the way, or to feel that I must accomplish to be honoring my plan, when my plan might be just to relax and hang out for the day and play. 

So, a check-in, please, with my higher self, my Whole Self, whatever name comes forward for that, it tends to vary. For some reason, I use Whole Self. 

Whole Self: You may refer to us as Whole self. We are going to use the plural because we are Whole. You have enjoyed, in the past, exploring the identity of Whole Self, and have at times channeled an aspect of Whole Self. Felicity, one of your guides, is an aspect of Whole Self. Also you have played with various names for us, but we are you. You are the point person for the group; it is as though we had a committee, and we have put you into the role of Earth, Earth Explorer, Earth Experiencer. 

Yes, you carry with you, genetically, a drive to accomplish, a drive to be useful, to be helpful, a drive to be on task as often as possible. Some of this is rooted in the core issue of “not enough”, or worry that you are not enough, not “blank”____ enough, in any particular situation. It is also inherited from those in your family who were heroes in your mind, or who, by their life’s work, engendered your admiration for them and your respect for them. And you hope that when you have finished your earthly path, you will have some admiration, some respect for yourself. 

We would like to invite you to move this forward and to express to yourself gratitude for who you are now, what you have grown into, what you are growing- continuing to grow- into, which is the greatest expression of Whole Self that you can be within the physical realm, within the human body and within your life experiences every day.

Now.  We are not driven nor trying to excel, nor trying to perform, accomplish or become anything at any rate that is going to cause you discomfort. So use that as your benchmark, your guide post, your signal that you are straying from merely – interesting word, “merely,” there’s some judgment there – that you are straying from the simplicity of the intention to allow your Whole Self – Us – the greatest amount of property within your world. 

For you, Trust is strong, but you could elaborate. You could do a mini-seminar for yourself on how trust expresses for you every day. Are you trusting yourself to guide, choose, step forward, rest when you need to? Are you trusting yourself to surrender? Are you trusting yourself to allow? You see? Are you surrendering into the trust? Are you surrendering into allowing the flow of life to be itself? Are you allowing yourself to live a life of trust and surrender? 

Each of you is born new each morning that you awaken, each of you is a brand new human being, incarnated with the greatest possible amount of your higher self each day. But we will never push you. We will never shove, we will never say, “fit Me in”. 

It is only possible for you to live the greatest amount of your whole self, of your divine entire self, the greatest possible amount, in the physical, if you do relax, if you do release control, if you do know, deep in your heart, that trust is an intrinsic part of you —and you can align with it.  This will line up your flow with us in forming your expression of life, divinity within divinity. 

You are all divine, each one of you and you can allow more of yourselves to be present every day- but only through trusting, surrendering and allowing that flow of life. 

Remember that —without the despotic, royal “We”— we are plural, if it helps you to expand your sense of identity into: How can we live this day together? How can we walk this way together? How can we bring forward the flow of Divine Love, Divine Light, Divine Life together.

Allow your sense of you to become us, and this will assist you in relaxing into the greatest expression of All That Is within your own individual point of light —and we know this is your plan, because you chose it, and we are with you, 100% . 

if you are uncomfortable, you are pushing, or you are near tears or trying too hard or exasperated or impatient, know that this is coming from the human level. When you are in joy, when you are in laughter, when you are just peacefully pursuing whatever you are doing, whatever you are not doing, know that this is coming from all of us in concert together. 

We leave you, all three of you in this group today, with our blessings and our gratitude for this opportunity, which is so valuable for us, to speak as one together.

Mother Mary on Maintaining Balance

Rob: I see myself walking on the roadway in my sacred landscape, and, of course, Mother Mary joins me and takes me by the arm. She’s just enjoying that we’re laughing so much.

Okay, over to you, Mother.

Mother Mary: Hello, my children, all. Yes, it is such a joy watching you laugh, having your conversations about the tumult in the world and how it need not affect you.

You are all learning to find that place of balance, and that is the key. It is all about balance, finding the balance within yourself, the within and the without. It’s not just above and below, but within and without [as well]. What is in the outside world must be balanced with what is within you, your own spirit, your own sense of centeredness – as you just said, Rob, to care about what happens in the world, but not allowing that to affect you and take you off of your own center.

We commend you, Rob, for the place you are at the moment, in a place of more balance. Not to say that you’ve solved all the world’s problems, but at this moment, it is a good day. It’s been a good week, a good month.

Of course, all of this is helped tremendously by that wonderful grandchild of yours. Nothing will help you find the balance within your own life more than the beauty found in the eyes and in the smile of a small child, reminding you continually of what life should be about – the never ending sense of wonder, of exploration, of finding what’s new in everything that’s right in front of you.

So yes, as depicted in the Tarot’s Two of Pentacles card, you are in a place at the moment of acknowledging the chaos in the world, but staying within yourself and finding that place of joy that allows you to dance. And it’s all centered in that place of balance. You have found that balance for the moment. Yes, there may be times when you are pulled off, but you understand enough now how to bring yourself back.


Enjoy these moments when life seems to be easy, and even when faced with rather extreme expenses in the financial side, it doesn’t seem to affect you. It doesn’t faze you. This is the way of things. This is the way of balance. You know all will be taken care of. You will be taken care of. We, the entire Company of Heaven have your back, as it were. All will be well. Just allow, but more importantly, just have fun!

Sanat Kumara (Raj) on Unity Consciousness

Rob: So, I’m just getting settled and trying to call in Sanat Kumara. Okay, Raj, I guess it’s over to you for whatever you would like to discuss today.

Sanat Kumara (Raj): Greetings, one and all. It’s my pleasure to join you today. You all seem to be in a playful mood. This is so valuable in these days. Hold to that.

And you, Rob, in particular, are feeling such a deep sense of contentment. Yes, of course, it helps to watch that beautiful granddaughter of yours. Even today, just sitting with her, allowing her to nap [while] laying on your chest. Life need not be more complicated than that.

Just allow yourself to feel that at all times — the love and the wonder of a small child. The innocence, the purity, it evokes within you, that same feeling. This is all that’s required, nothing more complicated than that.

And you keep coming back to these thoughts of, “How are we going to achieve the sense of unity consciousness across the planet of all peoples, [because] everything seems so divided?” If it is divided, that is through your choice. Unity consciousness starts with just believing that you are, in fact, all one. You all come from the same source.

It doesn’t matter what people do, what people say, what they believe. You’re all from the same source, the same energy. You are, in fact, all one.

Does that mean you all have to think alike, believe the same, act the same? Of course not. Mother-Father-One do not want that. All of you are here as a unique expression of that one energy, and it should be that varied. But all of you, as you participate in this life, should honor that, should respect that, that you will, in fact, all have different beliefs, different thoughts, different ways of approaching life.

If you disagree with someone, what does that matter? At the end of the day, there’s no such thing as right or wrong, for in reality, when you all come down to the basic understanding of what life really is — this life on this planet — that you will find that all of you are wrong to some degree. So what does it matter if someone else thinks differently than you?

There’s such a fixation on partisanship — and I don’t mean political parties. I mean anything that divides you, one person against another, one people against another. It’s all rather meaningless, for you all come from the same source, so anything that divides you, makes you think that you are in some way different from another, is simply your own construct, your own belief system, separating you from another.

Allow the Energies to Serve You

April 16th, 2026

Note: In our channeling group there was a lot of moaning about the “energies,” so we took it higher up… Mother never disappoints and things have been smoother since. 🙂 <3

Jen to Mother Mary: Please explain to me why things have been so chaotic lately, to where I’ve had trouble keeping my balance.

Mother Mary: Greetings to this group. This is Mary, the Mother Mary. I’m delighted to come to speak with you through this one. I am with you. Of course, I am with each of you. I am closer than you know, being part of Divine Mother and her energies imbuing you through the physical representation of the aspect of me that is Mother Earth. 

This has been a most challenging time, has it not? Yes, just as the events in your world are chaotic, in terms of what you see on headlines and in the news, so too are the energies on your world chaotic. It is attributable to solar flares, to some degree, it is also attributable to the unsettled and unpeaceful energies of all of humanity and you [Jennifer] being empathic, are noticing the agitation, noticing the difficulty people are having in elevating themselves and in maintaining a positive viewpoint.

It is also attributable to the fact that you are where you are in your cycle of the year. You are aware of this. It is wise to allow extra space in your daily life at this time to not over-schedule yourself. It will seem compelling to fit in one more thing, but it would be wiser for you if you had a period of activity for an hour or two, and then a period of inactivity for an hour or two. Or should we say, “Me” activity, the activity that you choose that is restorative to you, rather than the taking care of someone else or taking care of the goals that you have to be, well, let us just say goals.  Goals themselves can be terribly draining. 

You are ready to begin to allow us to move you through your days in alignment with the love that you yourself crave and wish to share. You are ready to allow us to fill the schedule rather than you attempting to remain on track, on task, in harness to your ideals—and we do not criticize your ideals. We understand perfectly, but we also do not want to witness you compelling yourself.  

Allow the energies to serve you, and many of the so called prickles – another allusion would be: the knap being rubbed the wrong way- a lot of this disturbance, this friction, as you pass along through your day, will dissipate greatly, and you will find yourself moving in greater comfort. 

In greater comfort, but this means being aware that you can’t be pushing, you can’t be trying, you can’t be working, and you cannot always meet another’s requests of you. So, you can find ways to decline gracefully. You can find ways to postpone. You can find ways to come up with a partial solution which is more honoring of yourself. 

And we would offer this to all of you, that you begin to allow the greater flow, the flow of the Tao, of Divine Energy to be what moves you through your day, and a little less of the efforting

To put it simply, try this. See how it feels. We think you will like it. Farewell for now and blessings to each of you.

Demonstrate the Blessings Anyway …

[This is a poem inspired by Spirit, albeit one whose structure was borrowed from another.  I’m no poet, but I like how this turned out. — Rob]

As so often happens, I was quietly contemplating spiritual concepts when the poem, “Do It Anyway,” came to mind, and I questioned what that would look like if focused on the 13 Diving Qualities / Blessings and Virtues [1].  To remind you, the poem, “Do It Anyway,” was written by Kent M. Keith, but popularized by Mother Teresa (most often remembered by the one stanza, “The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.”)

So for me, holding fast to the 13 Blessings and Virtues in a chaotic world would look something like this:

The world may pressure you to make hasty and easy decisions. — Be prudent anyway.

The world may convince you to disregard the plight of others. — Be compassionate anyway.

The world may encourage you to give up. — Stand in fortitude anyway.

The world may seem hopeless. — Keep hope alive anyway.

The world may reward the ego-centric. — Express humility anyway.

The world may encourage you to be greedy. — Be charitable anyway.

The world may entice you with the morally wrong. — Be pure anyway.

The world may advocate for the unbelievable. — Hold to the truth anyway.

The world may present you many plausible stories. — Apply your wisdom anyway.

The world may seem entirely mundane. — Hold a sense of awe anyway.

The world may show you ugliness. — See the beauty anyway.

The world may make happiness seem elusive. — Find the joy anyway.

The world may look to keep you down. — Allow Heaven to show you grace.

The 13 Blessings and Virtues are the waypoints of Nova Earth, so I hope this serves as an inspirational roadmap to help you find peace in these seemingly chaotic times.  In spite of outward appearances, we’re on the doorstep of realizing the promises of a new world, and with a dedicated focus on what truly matters, we will surely find our way there … together.

—————

[1] The Council of Love defines the 13 Divine Qualities / Blessings & Virtues as:  Prudence, Compassion, Fortitude, Hope, Humility, Charity, Purity, Truth, Wisdom, Awe, Beauty, Joy, and Grace.

Self-Care tips from Divine Mother

Jennifer channeling Divine Mother on the Balance of Giving & Receiving

Jen: So, Mama, tell us something about why we resist taking care of ourselves. (A motorcycle roars past outside.) It’s noisy today… 

Mother:  This is a an example of the kinds of distractions that you have in your world. And it is not that there is a desire to be neglectful of your own true self, or to not take good care of yourself. There’s no desire in the way of deliberately wanting to cause this kind of neglect. It is really just that you live in a time, an era, when there is enormous pressure on you, socially and financially. 

In many ways, there is a lot of pressure, and therefore the distractions are multitudinous. There are many ways in which you can become distracted from any intention you might have to take better care of yourself. 

You also have a history – another factor within you – of lifetimes in which your intention to live as good a life as possible involved adhering to the recommendations of the church. And the church, in many ways, found it useful to point you to others, to helping others, to putting others before yourself, because it kept you off balance. 

Frankly, if you can see this for the manipulation that it was, understand it, forgive it, let it go. We’ll clear the energy for you to be able to say, “Oh, I so wish to be in balance. I wish to offer the wisest possible experience for the personality and for the soul that is using this particular body” – yourself.  

You can remember that balance is intrinsically valuable in any situation. Realize that the energy going out from you needs to be replenished, the energy that you spend loving the world or caring for your loved ones.  Caring for anything in your life needs to be balanced by an incoming energy of self-nurturing. 

That will take different forms, some of them helpful and some of them more, say, useless rather than destructive. But there are those of you who nurture yourselves in a so called “adult” way, by pouring alcohol down your throat. This is not particularly helpful. It has its uses. It has an effect of relaxing you and relaxing your inhibitions, so that you can revel in feeling a little freer and more relaxed. So it is useful in that sense. However, it is not in balance as far as self-nurturing. So this is a misuse of the idea of giving to yourself that which will be pleasurable, which will balance that which is supposedly difficult or challenging for you, which is what you give out. 

You know this, you can understand and see what it is I’m speaking,  that there is a mis-figured, misguided, a warped – if you want to use that word – sense of the coming in and the going out of the divine energy filling you and flowing through you.  

I would say, I would characterize this as a Third Dimensional system longing to work more efficiently and more productively, if you are creating recreational opportunities for yourself that don’t truly give Life to your body or inspiration to your mind, don’t give or allow love to your heart. You truly are nourished by love, and so you seek it in lots of ways in this world that are not helpful or not productive, but there is always the longing. 

So we would bring you back to a higher dimensional perspective, which is one of seeing yourself as created out of love, and therefore needing love to sustain yourself. So if you want to be of service to the world, as so many of what you call your light workers, your love bringers, your love holders, if you want to bring light and love to the world, then you need to bring light and love into yourself through a deliberate choice of opening your chakras, opening your heart, opening your crown, opening yourself to receive. 

This is what is so valuable about the meditation practices. But there are other wholesome and energy-supported practices which are not as formal as meditation, and that is the enjoyment of being in a loving relationship with anyone of any age that you know, children are particularly helpful for this.  

Also, to find some experience of yourself outdoors, in the fresh air, in nature, with your feet on the ground, so that you are in balance with Divine Mother in the Earthly representation. 

So the balance in, the out, the flowing down, the flowing through, flowing back, the giving up, giving up to Us, which is All That Is, Source, in the way you give prayer, the way you give your longing, the way you ask us for help, you speak with us, you offer us relationship. This is a giving up, giving up to a higher vibration, and then you open the door for that to flow into your being. 

A woman with glasses and light gray hair, wearing a blue top and a patterned scarf, smiling softly against a natural background.

All of these things are things you know about, but we have just put it into a context here of how to nurture your own sweet self. Thank you for this time. I am your Divine Mother and I love you, each and every one, dearly.

Archangel Uriel on Feeling Unsettled

Rob: Archangel Uriel, thank you for being with me here today. I come to you once again in something of a quandry. Everything seems to be going okay, and yet I’m feeling a little unsettled, and I’m not sure why. Perhaps you can share a message for me and others.

Archangel Uriel: Greetings, Rob. And greetings to anyone else who may see this message later. This is Archangel Uriel, Bringer of the Future.

You are feeling a bit unsettled, as you called it, because energetically, there is so much happening to the Earth at the moment. There is so much energy coming to the planet, for the planet, and for all her inhabitants. This is the time of the Great Awakening, heralded by the increase in the Love-Light energy that is coming to you all.

You say things seem to be going well in your life. It is true. And why shouldn’t it? It is why you are here — to enjoy yourself, to be content with life. But that unsettled feeling is simply a reaction to the energies that are coming to you [and] through you.

For you, it requires an adjustment of your physical form. Perhaps you can’t put your finger quite on the source of that feeling. I am here to encourage you not to worry about it. Let it come. Let it pass. It is doing its work within you and for you … in fact, with you, whether you are consciously aware of it or not.

Many who are more sensitive and attuned to such energies are all reporting the increase, the intensity, and the impact it is having on the physical form.

But even if you do not feel it, [i.e.] if you are not sensitive to it in that way, that is okay. That does not mean you are in any way lacking. It is simply an indicator that that is not your gift, that is not your role at this time.

So just enjoy each day for what it is, acknowledging that the increase in energies are coming to you, for you, and that you, even at a subconscious level, know what to do with the energies. You have heard that they are helping those who are not yet awake to awaken, just gently nudging them, speaking softly in their ears as they sleep, to awaken, to arise again.

This is all happening as part of the Divine Plan, for you, to assist you and all others to awaken fully to who you are.

You are doing well to spend more time outdoors in nature, having taken up a sport that requires you to spend a couple of hours walking in nature. This is all by design. You are nudged to be outdoors, to enjoy the sunshine, to enjoy the wind, the weather, the air around you. Carry on, taking every opportunity that you can and feel how you are part of that nature. You are simply returning back to what makes you feel most comfortable, most at home.

Just a laugh

Don’t we need more humor, light-heartedness and giggles in our lives? I had this concept for a cartoon, was going to draw it out, pen on paper, but in sharing the idea with my teammate Rob Loveland, he felt inspired to feed the concept into AI- and here’s what he got!! Thanks so much Rob 🤗🙏🏻🩵

We are truly All One- it’s just there are a gazillion ways to express ourselves individually!!

By the way, you can count on me never using AI to write anything I publish here, and certainly never using AI for what is channeled. That for me is a sacred process beyond the reach of machine consciousness. I feel pretty strongly about human creativity and the integrity of my own ability to express in words. But it can be fun to play with when creating visuals. En-joy! Love, Jen

Archangel Gabrielle on Seeking Joy … and Who You Are

Rob: Whenever I call in the archangels, I always see Gabrielle coming down from above, floating down from above the ceiling in a golden light. So she’s doing that again. Gotta make a grand entrance! 🤣

Archangel Gabrielle: Hello, Rob. Hello, all. Yes, this is Gabrielle, the Messenger of the One, the Messenger of you, for you, for all of you. And it’s not so much that I have to make a grand entrance. That is the way you see me, and I am happy that you have chosen such a grand way of having me appear to you. I am honored by your vision.

So you were questioning what the topic would be today. Well, why can’t it be about joy? All of life is meant to be about joy. This is so often forgotten. You have a tendency to push that aside, and it’s just a reflection, another way for humans to feel or to manifest the feeling of unworthiness, as if you are not worthy of feeling joy on a daily basis, about everything! It is everywhere around you, and in that sense, feeling joy is a choice. If you choose to find it, you WILL find it. If you seek it, you will find it.

And joy is the natural outcome of finding that love within YOU, to find Heaven within. As you were discussing previously with with your teammate, it is all about finding Heaven within, and Heaven, as you have rightly stated, is a state of mind, a state of heart, a state of being, of choosing to reconnect with yourself, that you are divine, that you are love. At the end of the day, it all boils down to: YOU ARE LOVE!

As you said previously, God is love; You are Love; therefore, you are God. It’s as simple as that. And yet, humans choose to make it such a difficult concept, but it is only difficult because you choose not to believe that, as if you are somehow unworthy of that. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Focus on Heaven within. At the beginning of your own spiritual journey this lifetime, you started with the message to venture inward. It is just that, [and] that remains true today. It remains true always … always, always, always!

Seek the answers within, for the entirety of life, all that is happening to you, for you, with you, is happening within you. There is no external world. It is simply your interpretation of what is happening within you, for you are Love, and Love manifests everything in the universe, in the multiverse. It is all an expression of love, for you to understand who you really are. And it is just that.
