Archangel Gabrielle on Faith

[This message is a continuation of the previous posting that the recurring theme of Trust-Surrender-Allow is linked directly to Faith. — Rob]

Rob: I have some sense that I need to hear something about faith, which actually makes some sense, given all of the “high strangeness” that’s happening in the government these days. How do we maintain faith through all of this?  So I’m going to invite in Archangel Gabrielle. She comes down in a shower of golden light from above …

Okay, Gabrielle, you’ve heard the question.  So what do I need to hear about faith?

AA Gabrielle: Greetings, Rob! Greetings, all.

So the idea of faith is really the collection, the aggregate, of a number of concepts for which you often speak of, you, collectively, in this group, in this circle: trust, surrender, and allow. All of those taken together essentially make up what you know of as faith, [i.e.] holding faith.

And you well know, Rob, trust, one of the Keys of Heaven, is trusting the divine realm that there is a plan, that you are part of it, and then it’s all proceeding according to plan. But that, of course, [in fact,] any Key to Heaven is preceded by the Keys to Self — in this case, your ability to surrender. Surrender is putting yourself in that position to be able to trust in heaven. It’s surrendering yourself, your own ego, to something far greater than you.

But in reality, it’s not greater than you. It is you surrendering yourself to the idea that that is who you are, that you are part and parcel of heaven, allowing yourself to be there, to be part of that, allowing yourself, giving yourself over to the idea that, yes, there is a plan. I am part of it. We’re all part of it, for there is no separation.

So trusting, surrendering, allowing, this is all collectively what you know of as “holding faith.” In spite of what you see around you, you know, deep within your heart, at the core of your heart, that all is well. All is proceeding exactly as it is planned to be. There is a purpose behind everything.

Rob: Well, thank you for that. I’m wondering, as I often do, about my own ability, or any of our abilities, to hold that faith in the turmoil that is actually already here. How do we hold that faith and trust ourselves that we will uphold our portion of the divine plan?

Gabrielle: Your faith in yourself is born in the idea, in the reality, in the truth that there is no separation. You are not separated from heaven. Neither is anyone else. So all events that you see, no matter how crazy they may seem to your logical mind, is all an expression of the One, and there is a purpose.

On the one hand, you feel yourself, at times, being nervous about the state of government, the affairs of government, how crazy things seem to be. But on the other hand, you’re also excited about the apparent transparency that is happening before your very eyes. You have longed for this. You have often said that the primary key to an effective governance structure is the transparency to the people who give that governance structure its power, and you are starting to see that transparency.

Yes, it will be difficult to learn all that has happened, been happening, continues to happen, but all that must come to light. We have said before that this is the time of truth.

So your faith in yourself, in upholding the divine plan, is simply understanding that there is no separation.

Sanat Kumara on Trusting, Surrendering, Allowing

Rob: All right, I get a sense of [Sanat Kumara/Raj] coming from my right side. He’s really bright. He’s, like, glowing! It always seems odd to me, but I never really see facial features … ever!

Okay, Raj, thank you for joining me … actually, for joining us. As my teammate said, you’ve heard the conversation. Is it going to be trust, surrender and allow? Anything to share there?

Sanat Kumara/Raj: Greetings, all. Yes, this is Raj. We so enjoy your conversations, your meandering through any number of topics. It’s always a bit amusing to us, but it shows just the depth that you have on many topics that you have to explore, that you are pondering. It is true, there is a lot of wisdom in what you say, and yet, there is so much more to learn. But, I will say Rob, that you have discerned that the “one thing” is really all that matters.

Yes, there is so much more to learn. There is so much more to the complexity, more than you can actually wrap your heads around, but that doesn’t matter. If you learn to put your self in the space of love, to know that you are love, to feel love for everything, not just for others who [you encounter], but for the very air you breathe, all of it, it is all a construct for you to understand how to live, how to exist, within the field of love, for that is all that is.

Even that seems like such a nebulous concept to you. We get that. We’ve all been there, and we are all, even at our level, continuing to learn the depths of what that means.

Yes, it requires the trust, the surrender, allowing yourself to go to that place of love, to feel that no matter what else is happening in the world, whatever else is happening in your life. Just allow yourself to feel the love within you. It is there. It is always there. It cannot NOT be there.

Surrender to that. Surrender to the fact that that’s who you are, and that is also all that you see; therefore, you are one. Surrender to that idea. Plumb the depths of that … or, as your teammate said, just dip your toe into that water. Experience that just for a little while. It will become easier and easier for you.

The more you do it, the more the surrendering becomes easier, for you will find the peace and the calm that you are seeking, whenever you go there, whenever you allow yourself to feel that, to experience that from your heart, the core of your being.

Yes, all of that requires some amount of trust. Trust is simply the decision at the beginning, no matter how you are feeling, no matter what you are witnessing in the world around you, trust that you can find that place in your own heart where you are connected to everything through the love, as the love, of the love. It is all there within you. Trust that, and you will surely find it.

Knowing the time is short, I will leave you with that thought and allow others to expand on this, if they so desire. So with that, I will say farewell and thank you so much for all that you’re doing. Farewell for now.

St James on Maintaining a Sense of Prudence

Rob: I’m seeing James, walking me to the Rainbow Bridge, which in my landscape is a little bridge over a little creek, running down to the water. Huh … we’re stopping on the bridge. I guess we’re gonna have a conversation right here.

St James: Greetings, all. This is James. Yes, James the Apostle. And as you rightly discerned, there were many James in the company in and around Yeshua, but I am coming to you as James, son of Thunder, son of Zebedee, brother of John the Beloved.

And as you well know, my experience then, in that life, as you would consider it, didn’t end all that well. Yes, I was put to death early, but none of that matters now. If anything, that is simply a testimony that being rather brash can get you into some trouble! Perhaps [it’s] wise to be more prudent, to make conscious decisions about how you’re going to proceed, how that will be received.

So we stopped here on the bridge today to make a point that prudence is really an implementation of the sense of balance. So as we stand here in the center of the bridge, at the high point, it is a point of balance, neither this side nor that, but finding that middle ground where you can see more clearly, perhaps even in an elevated position above the ground on each side, so you can survey which way is the way to go from a more clear vantage point.

In these times in which you live, where there is so much going on, there is so much to stimulate you all of the time, this is the time of returning to that place of balance, maintaining that place of balance within yourself. Yes, your teammate is correct: [it is] being present.

For you, Rob, this would be a most valuable lesson to remind yourself every day to just be present in that moment. For when you ARE present, when you ARE in that place of being somewhat detached from the events that are happening in the world, then you DO find yourself in that place of balance, naturally. And once in that place of balance, then the blessing of prudence is a natural outcome, because then you can see more clearly how you should proceed at any given moment.

But the first step is to separate yourself from whatever is going on around you, whatever stimulation there is that’s pulling at you, that’s grabbing for your attention. Step back, breathe, feel, and hold that place in your heart where you can see more clearly. I think you know all of this, but it is also true that you know you don’t spend as much time as you should, perhaps keeping yourself in that place of presence.

So with that, we’ll see if anyone has any questions for me.

Wakana’Taka on Connecting with Mother Earth … and our Star Family

[I channeled this when I wasn’t feeling particularly well … but I’m well beyond that now! 😉 — Rob]

Wa’kana’taka

Rob: I’m seeing myself in my temple space, and I’m feeling the need to have a conversation with Wakana’taka … not sure why. He’s just a really big guy! … But he’s very quiet.

Okay, Wakana’taka, thank you for joining me. Do you have anything to share? I feel like you were calling out to me.

Wakana’taka: Greetings, Rob. Greetings, all. Thank you for joining us, for allowing me to join your circle.

You asked, Rob, what it is that I wanted to speak with you about, but it is really more that you want to speak to me, and of course, I am always happy to accommodate. I would suggest, though, that as you have been talking today about your particular health issues and what it takes to remain healthy as a being on Gaia, on this Earth, yes, you are physical beings that require care.

For you, Rob, you are feeling a bit out of sorts, as you would call it, and I would suggest that that stems from your need, at the moment, to reconnect to earth, to remain grounded. Normally, you take care of that particular need by being out on the water, being on your boat, but it’s been quite a while now [being winter]. Before, you had the opportunity to be on the boat, so you are not out in nature as much as you had been In the past. And this does take its toll physically, mentally, emotionally.

So I would suggest, though, though it is winter, and it is cold, that you take the time to be outside to reconnect with Mother Earth. It helps to keep you settled. [It] helps to keep you centered. When you feel uneasy, more often than not, it’s because you are no longer connected, or you are allowing that connection to wain.

It doesn’t take a lot. As was suggested to your teammate, just go sit by the water, breathe in the fresh air, sit on the grass, [and] allow yourself to reconnect. See the beauty in nature.

So are there any particular questions that you have for me, since, yes, you have felt the need to speak with me?

Rob: I am wondering, Wakana’taka, about what is going to happen here in the near future. As a representative of Earth on the Galactic Council, can you share anything that would be useful to all of us?

Archangel Gabrielle on Feeling a Special Connection with Mother-Father-One

Rob: My question is why I don’t feel a particular connection with Mother-Father-One. I feel more of it with the Archangels and my guides than I do with the Mother or Father. Why is that?

AA Gabrielle: Greetings again, all. It is always such a pleasure to be here in your midst, to be invited into your circle. Of course, we are always with you, but it is so nice to be acknowledged in this way, to connect in this way.

So your question, Rob, why is it that you don’t feel a particular connection with — a stronger connection, a closeness to — Mother-Father-One, I would ask, does it really matter? Of course, at the end of the day, it is all up to you. Whether you feel that connection or not is really related to how much you open yourself to it.

But when I ask whether it really matters, it’s because if you feel that connection with your personal guides, feel that connection with any of us, as the archangels, before you invite in the Mother-Father-One, is that energy not all the same? It’s all from the same source. It’s all the same connection.

So it really comes down to your perception or your interpretation of who it is that you’re really connecting to, what it is that you’re really connecting to. The emanation of love is the emanation of love. It doesn’t matter how you visualize that.

Who you see as who you’re connecting to, all of that, is based on your beliefs and whatever limitations you choose to put on that, if any limitations at all. If you choose to have a closer connection with the Mother or the Father, then sit with that, develop that, believe in that.

If you have greater affinity for me or any of the other archangels, then that’s where you will feel the connection. The same goes for any of your guides or your Higher Self. It’s however you choose to visualize that, but, at the end of the day, the energy is all the same. It all comes from the same place, for we are One.

But whatever happens in the end, don’t berate yourself for not being able, as you believe, to connect with what you see as a higher source. Again, there’s no such thing. You are already connecting with that higher Source. Whether it is somebody in your family standing in front of you, when you feel the love, you are connecting with the Source. It is all how you choose to visualize it and how you choose to experience that.

Again, if you want to have the closer connection with the Mother, then sit with that, develop that. Develop your relationship with her, and you will feel it.

In the past, when you have channeled the Mother, you have felt it. You know what that is, but you’re questioning, “Why does that not feel any different than the connection with anyone else in the realm of Heaven?” The answer is, because it’s all the same. Connection with any one of us is a connection to Source, ultimately, so why would it be any different?

Rob: Well, that seems obvious now that you say it out loud. Message received. Well, that was simple enough. 😊

AA Gabrielle: That’s good. Perhaps your teammates have questions for me?

Germain on Why We Won’t Fall Into Atlantis Trap

Rob: I’m seeing Saint Germaine as much younger and wearing purple. And I have that vision of the pyramid on Atlantis, the Temple of the Violet Flame.  We’re going to just sit here on the top step of the temple.

Okay, St Germaine, you’ve heard the question from the discussion with my teammates. What’s going to prevent us this time from falling into the same traps that we fell into previously on Atlantis?

St Germaine: Greetings, all! Yes, this is Saint Germaine, here on the temple steps, the Temple of the Violet Flame, where we have all met before. You, Rob, in particular, remember the ceremonies here, the initiation.

[Regarding] your question about what is different this time around, there are several factors, the primary of which is that now you (”humanity”) know better. You’ve learned.

At the time of Atlantis, before the sinking, the final sinking — it took several tries. The first time, it largely split in half. The second time, it broke into smaller islands. And the final time, it completely inundated — not that all traces of the Atlantean culture were gone at the time; there were pockets that remained, that survived.

But what is it about now that offers any kind of an assurance that we won’t repeat the same thing again? And I am here to tell you that, while it may not seem that way by outward appearances, the light energy held by the vast majority of humanity is higher now than it has been since well before the sinking of Atlantis. Yes, you have a tremendous amount of programming that tells you otherwise, that makes you doubt yourselves, but at your core, at the point of your soul, your light energy is higher now than it has been in many, many, many millennia.

You are ready for change. The vast majority of humanity wants change. But the thing about change is it always feels like such turmoil, such turbulence, in the process of that change. But when you strip all of that away, all of that programming, all of that conditioning to keep you pushed down, to keep you enslaved in one form or another, underneath all of that, you are ready. You want the change, and it is surely happening.

It is certainly the Mother’s Divine Plan that it happen now. This is the time of prophecy. This is the beginning of that transition, biblically known as the 1000 years of peace. It is happening. It will happen, and you will see that. You will see it arise.

So I would ask you not to put too much of your attention on what could go wrong, but focus instead on what it is that you want and trust that the rest of humanity will come with you. This is why you are here. It’s why you volunteered to come here at this time, to do YOUR part, to express YOUR vision of what it is that you want society to be, the relationships among all peoples to be, and it will surely happen as a result. It is well on the way.

I would suggest even that where we are headed is a return to the energy levels that existed even prior to Atlantis, or to the beginning of Atlantis, to the time of Lemuria. That was a society in a 5th dimensional reality. But you are moving even beyond that, and going to the higher dimensions, yet still, ultimately to the 7th, to the realm of Christ Consciousness on Earth.

It is all possible, and we ask you to lend your energy, your vision, your trust, that that will all come to pass. Let your imaginations run wild, for everything is on the table. Whatever it is that you want Nova Earth to be, it is in the making. It is in the forming, and it is ready to hear what your desires are, ready to bring that to fruition.

It is such an exciting time. We are absolutely thrilled at the progress humanity, as a whole, is making and for your individual efforts in seeing that come to pass. Again, open yourselves to the possibilities. Do not restrict yourself based on what you see outside, or what you think is possible. There are no limitations. The only limitations are what you yourselves place on that. Again, give yourself the freedom to run wild. Hop on that dragon and see where it takes you! 😉

So I’m sure your teammates have questions, so let’s see what they have.

Yeshua on Finding Guidance Within

[As we approach the start of our course, Yeshua and the Magdalena, I naturally have questions about how the interaction with them will happen.  But, of course, they are always reassuring, and even enlightening about a few things I hadn’t considered before.  I don’t know why I ever allow doubts to enter into my thinking! — Rob ]

Yeshua: Greetings, Rob. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to have this chat. It doesn’t matter whether you feel that you would receive anything new and different. The benefit is actually connecting with us, any of us, through your heart. And as you’ve noted with your teammates, something always happens.

Just the fact that you are connecting with us is of huge benefit to us as well. We so enjoy our time together. Yes, we are always talking to you. We are always conversing at a higher level, but it is something different to be able to talk to you while in physical form. Many of us have taken form, and there’s a lot to be said for it, and we miss sometimes the sensations. So these sessions allow us to be reminded what it meant, how it felt. So again, we appreciate these connections as much as you. Just some food for thought …

Regarding the classes focused on me and my Magdalena, the core of the message is really an encouragement to all that they too can develop these connections, if they have not already. For those who are well versed in communing with us, they will find it interesting to hear of your research and the many different sources, some of which they will be familiar with, [but] others will be new. So there will be something for them as well.

And yes, events in the world will transpire such that people will be confused [and] will be wondering, “What is going on? How do we move forward from here?” Your fundamental message is to go within — as Edgar Cayce said, to venture inward — to find that place of peace and that all Ascended Masters and angels and archangels are here to help you find that place.

So the goal of each of your sessions, each and every class is to build on the core message that we are always available, that we can relate to everything that you are going through, for we are all the same. We are, in fact, One.

I hope this has been helpful. I trust so. Again, thank you for the time to connect.

Rob: And thank you, Yeshua. Thank you for the reassurances.

Yeshua: Go with my love. Go with my blessings. Farewell for now.

[If you haven’t yet registered for our upcoming eCourse, Yeshua and the Magdalena, please consider joining us, starting Saturday, 25 January.  Click on the linked Title for more information.  We’d love to see you there! — Rob]

Next Spirit Cafe, Sat. 11 Jan 2025

The December 2024 Spirit Cafe discussion focused on Joy, and remarkably we spent the entire hour on that one topic — normally, we start with one topic and then meander wherever spirit seems to take us.  But Joy is such a rich topic, one that everyone wants to experience, we just couldn’t leave it!  After all, who couldn’t use more joy in their life?!

We discussed that while happiness and joy are related, there is a difference.  After hearing the wisdom of so many, I arrived at the conclusion that happiness is the temporary, outward expression of the more permanent, inward experience of Joy.  Got it.

Then, we talked about how feeling gratitude is a gateway to joy.  So, that got me thinking … how are happiness and gratitude related to joy and love?  Of course, being a nerd at heart, I was reminded of Star Wars Master Yoda’s assertion about Love’s opposite, Fear:

Fear leads to hate.

Hate leads to anger.

Anger leads to suffering.

So, perhaps there is an analogous progression for joy … and this is what I came up with:

Happiness leads to gratitude.

Gratitude leads to love.

Love leads to joy.

I’m happy with that! … and I’m so grateful to be part of the Spirit Cafe discussions among such loving souls.  Won’t you consider joining us for the next Spirit Cafe on Saturday, 11 January 2025, for more joyous opportunities of learning, community, and fun?!

Yeshua and Mary Magdalene on Connecting with Them

[Here is another example of how easy it is to simply ask the Ascended Masters for guidance whenever we have questions — in this case, it was Yeshua and Mary Magdalene.  Given our upcoming course, I’m interested in their thoughts.  Not only are they encouraging, but they are as comforting as a best friend! — Rob]

Rob: So I’m sitting on my temple steps with Yeshua (Yeshi), who is on my right. Mary (Magdalene) is on my left. 

As you know, I question all the time whether I am simply making this up? Is this all just in my mind?

Yeshi: Well, there is no difference, Rob. Your mind is our mind. And in that regard, think of us simply as symbols, symbols for your mind, to be able to have a conversation with “other.” The nature of being one is one of the most difficult things to wrap your mind around. How do you go through a physical life, especially, but it’s also true in the spiritual realm, how do you go through your existence, your life, with a complete understanding that all that you see and all that you experience is the One.

You will continue to do so, [i.e.] to question that, and to think of yourself in any way as separate for as long as you choose to have the experience of that separation.

So we have chosen for this adventure to separate ourselves from the One in order to experience something different. So the whole idea of learning about the One and achieving Unity Consciousness is really a matter of degrees and coming to accept within yourself the greater and greater concept of all that you are.

Mary: And I would add, Rob, that you should enjoy it within the time that you have of the experience itself. Explore the relationships with others. See them for what they are and what they can teach you ultimately about yourself. The experience of joining with another is an experience of tremendous joy.

Learn to connect with others. Learn to connect with us, to experience that joy and be grateful for the system that is here to allow that to happen.

Yeshi: And for the events that are unfolding, as difficult as they will be for those who are completely enmeshed in the physical, take the opportunity to show them that no matter how crazy it gets “out there,” there’s still a place of peace within. There’s still an opportunity to connect with your soul tribe, with all those you consider your guides, your family, for it is true, they are all a part of you, and that can never be separated.

Rob: I just want to be able to feel at all times that direct connection with you at a more complete level. As I do these channeling sessions and go into my meditative state to imagine us sitting here on this temple in front of this beautiful landscape, my question: is this the most effective way for me to feel the connection with you?

Yeshi: It is your way, Rob. Everyone has their own way. Yes, you can be in so many different places at once — each is just a thought away. And once you have that thought, then it is real. It enters into the realm of your possible realities that you are choosing to experience.

Mary: But again, the image is simply a means of communication from those on this side, including your Higher Self, to you in the physical realm. But always, always, the most important aspect is to focus on the relationship, on your connection with the other. Start focusing on that and, as you develop the meditations and exercises for your class, remind them continually to feel the connection with the other.

Within the meditation itself, feel from their heart the joy of being WITH us, what it must have felt like at the time of our lives, and what this can feel like right now. There is no difference. Whether we are in physical form or not does not matter. The relationship, the connection to other, the merging with other, at the level of consciousness, is where the real learning, the real experience, happens. All the rest, that is the actual physical experience, or your interpretation of it, is a fleeting happenstance.

And yes, given the nature of time and multiple timelines, there can be different circumstances for different people, each driving their own experience based on their own reality — or their own interpretations of that reality — yes, based on their beliefs, what they are willing to accept.

The thing that is most important through all of that, through every differing interpretation of the events in the physical form, is the relationship that you develop with the other. Whomever you are channeling, whomever you are meditating on, focus on that.

Rob: Thank you, both. Perhaps I shall go and get out of the house, get some fresh air.

Mary: Well, whatever you choose to do today, keep, perhaps in the back of your mind, the connection with us, that we are going with you, and we shall be.

Yeshi: We’re all here for you. Start living your life from that perspective and see what unfolds.

Rob: Thank you, both. I love you, and I so appreciate you coming to visit with me, and for being with me.

Yeshua: It’s time for a Change!

[Happy New Year, everyone!  By all indications, this will be a year to remember … and I’m excited for what we have coming up to kick it off! — Rob]

As Jennifer Donaldson and I prepare for our upcoming class, Yeshua and the Magdalena, we’ve wondered how to present the material from so many channeled sources when some of the finer details seem to differ.  In the end, how do we express a message that would be useful to all when the students will surely come in with differing beliefs and expectations?

Of course, whenever we face such questions, the obvious thing to do is simply to ask.  Here is what Yeshua said in reply: 

“Focus, as I did during my ministry, on the message of love [and] who they are, that all of them can develop a personal relationship in any way they see fit. And if the nature of that relationship of one person is different than for another, that’s okay. In fact, that is most fruitful for the progression of all humans.

“It is fine to tell the stories, to point out the differences, to point out the similarities, to offer an expanded view of the possibilities of what could have happened, but don’t get tied up in “This is what did happen.” You can express what it is that you believe, how you think of the events of my life, the events of Mary Magdalene, our lives together. Express it in terms [that] these are all possibilities to sort through, to piece together into a larger puzzle, a beautiful mosaic, of the eternity of our relationship, but more importantly, the possibility of the relationship with each and every student.”

“Many of those stories that you will be presenting in class have come through channeled sources. The point to express to all is that they, too, can channel similar stories and envision similar events for themselves and piece together for themselves who I was, who Mary was, and therefore, who they are.

“The point to focus on, as you have rightly discerned already, for any story, for all stories, is that we were fully human, no different than you, no different than any of your students. Focus on that. Use the stories as a means to express what it must have been like as a human, living through those events as they’ve been expressed through the channeled sources or through the documented sources that are still available today.

“It is time to take us off the pedestal … or perhaps more appropriately, to pull all students up onto the pedestal with us, for you are all exalted in the eyes of Mother-Father-One. It is time for you to start seeing yourselves that way!”

Ask and ye shall receive!  Jen and I are so excited for the possibilities, and we hope you will consider joining for an inspiring and fun time in our upcoming eCourse, Yeshua and the Magdalena, starting 25 January.
