Quan Yin on Living Compassion

[I channeled this just after we lost a close family member, and while the passing came suddenly, it was not altogether unexpected.  – Rob]

Quan Yin

Rob: Time for a little compassion, I think. Huh. I am I’m not seeing [Quan Yin] as I usually do, where she comes in on the dragon; she’s in the garden where I usually meet Lao Tzu, [where it’s] much more calm and peaceful. So we’re taking our seat on the bench by the pond — a stone bench.

So, thank you, Quan Yin, for joining me. I kind of have a lot running through my head right now, but it makes a lot of sense to me that you would come talk to me, being the Goddess of Compassion and all. Anyway, I will turn it over to you. What do you have to share with us today?

Quan Yin: Greetings, dear Rob … and a fine hello to Jennifer and Jo Ann, as well.

Yes, I just wanted to stop in to express my condolences to you and your family. You are handling that oh so well, and you truly are being that lighthouse for the rest of the family, showing them that death need not be a time of sadness. Yes, of course, the family will miss a member, but as you pointed out yesterday [in my Celebration of Life speech], Steve is always here. He will always be with you, and, of course, you are welcome to have a conversation with him at any time. So trust that the family heard you, and they are taking advantage of that thought, of that truth. So yes, it’ll take a while to get beyond the point of feeling that loss, but as you well know, that all comes in time.

And at the same time, you find yourself in this position of wondering what is happening in the world. There is so much going on. There are indications that the plan is moving forward, that we are coming quickly to a point of culmination. It’ll be a while yet — revelations of truth will come forward, bit by bit, slowly. This plan is built such that the greatest number of people will wake up in their own time.

Your job, and I think you know this very well, is to simply be the lighthouse to shine your light to others while the storm is brewing around you, just blowing wildly. And anyone caught in that storm is questioning where to go, how to proceed. Where is that place of safety?

Just beam your light. Show them what calmness in the face of the storm, what that looks like, what that feels like. It’s not your job to advocate what is truth, no matter what others are saying. Just show them what peace looks like, the way to peace, the way to calm, the way to safety.

If others ask what you believe, what your version of truth is, then, by all means, tell them. [But] whether they accept it or not, it’s really not your concern. Express your truth. Be at peace. Do it lovingly. Show them what compassion looks like in practice.

Mary Magdalen on The Divine Feminine

PART TWO of the Old Port Channeling, March 9th, 2025.

Mary Magdalen: Blessings to you, my sisters. I am so glad to see you in this place, in this moment. This is a new beginning for Jennifer and I extend my gratitude also for your support of what we are bringing forward. We are beyond ego with this particular endeavor. It is of great joy and fulfillment, of course, to Jennifer, so why would she not choose what brings her joy? Right? Why not we all make this choice for our own joy and to spread the joy and share the joy and be the joy together? It is so much richer and more beautiful when we are gathered. 

Yes, yes, and this does make such a beautiful gathering, the three, the sacred three, the triskele of the Celts. Yes, the Divine Feminine. They knew a lot about the Divine Feminine. They honored it. And it’s not just the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. It is also the Divine Feminine in all of its expressions~ the tenderness, the caring, passionate caring about your community, your neighborhood, your world,  every heart – you care passionately! – and your family, of course. The family is really a metaphor for the human family, it is a living metaphor. But neither is more important than the other, just one is a smaller group, just as we are, an intimate group today. 

 So we can discuss more about the Divine Feminine anytime, it’s one of my favorite topics. I rejoice for you that we are together today in feminine embodiment, with all the blessings this brings. And you have been in feminine embodiment in many lifetimes, but also the other, the male embodiment. But you chose in this life to experience divinity As Love, and this is the way of the feminine.  

To experience, seek for and practice and know and remember your divinity As Consciousness– this is the way of the Masculine. Now you all carry that within you, so if it attracts you, have fun with it. But if you feel a little less drawn to the hour-long sitting meditations in a hall where you are bathed in consciousness, fine, and if that is a delight and a bliss for you, wonderful!  If you are more drawn to feminine Ways of Love, love experienced in your quiet moments, love experienced as you express it and extend it, as you embrace another, as you help another in any small way, then you are expressing the Divine Feminine, the path of the feminine Love Expressed. 

We can feel your curiosity bubbling up. We can feel your interest in many matters of particular concern to you, so we will open the floor, so to speak, to whatever is bubbling up within you. Take a quiet moment, if you like. You’re ready for a question? Just speak up. 

Attendee: I’m keeping this general, there’s so many more I have that would be specific right now. But could you speak from your vast knowledge of love — how do you balance the love that comes through you and pours out of you with self protection and boundary? 

Mary Magdalen: This is a very good question. There are most on the planet who have an unconscious memory of their many human experiences which have resulted in their beautiful, divine vulnerability being mistreated in some way, and these are memories that you carry in your DNA and your cells, but also memories that are rampant upon the planet, in which case you may have been given advice to not allow yourself to be fully open, fully vulnerable, fully in a place of love with everyone. 

For you, at this stage where you are well aware of the value of being open and being loving, I would say it is a matter of discernment and wisdom.   Realize that not everyone that you interact with is ready for that level of openness and love from you. So if you respect their boundaries,  allow them to grow in their own time, in their own pace, and to remain closed where they choose to, then you will be honoring that value of boundary without needing to shutter yourself in the love that you are willing to be.

Does this make sense to you? 

Yes, you have chosen, in many lifetimes to open to the extent that you will interact with others who are holding more hurt within themselves, and what they will share with you will be some level of hurt, and you will say to yourself, “I got hurt when I opened my heart this time”, but when you are able to move completely beyond any thought of victimhood by another and trusting that each other person you meet Is divinity, although they may not express it that way, they are mirroring to you those parts of you you have planned in advance to bring up somehow in your current lifetime. To become clear as to what the energy is and why the energy occurred, and to move beyond your sense of victimhood into a sense of compassion for yourself as well as the other, these are opportunities for you to practice your compassion, your wisdom, your self-compassion. 

We are not perfect. We are perfection in the expression of Mother/ Father’s energy, but we are not always perfect in our human choices and experiences. For example, our choice of words at times, may feel lacking in love, in wisdom, in timing, but do not berate yourself when this occurs and the other also. There is an opportunity for you to be compassionate with another and to understand that they were expressing from a less than purely loving place due to their own stresses, their own beliefs and hurts. And you let it flow, you let it move along. That was then, this is now. And you move back into your loving self, and they will move back into their loving self as well. 

Sometimes, well, usually, it takes many, many lifetimes to be able to sustain the Loving Self through most of your days, but even then, you can have your moments. So remember to be compassionate with yourself, wise, understanding, accepting and grateful for all your experiences. Each one brings you a greater degree of wisdom and a freer expression of love.

Our Sweet Francesco: Walk As Love

To begin our session, I asked one of the attendees to pick a card or two from the Council of Love card deck. She chose St. Francis and Mary Magdalene.

Jennifer:  So we’re all clearly in our hearts, deeply in our passionate and excited hearts, so grateful that we have this opportunity to come together in this beautiful, beautiful way, to ask the ascended masters to speak with us, to be present for us, to take our questions, just such a blessing. I’m so grateful that we are here, that I am here. I’m so grateful also for this wonderful space. So, Mary Magdalene will come in, and perhaps we’ll have a visit from our beloved Francesco. Our sweet Francesco (St. Francis). Just want to give him a big hug. 

St Francis: Blessings everyone. This is the one you call St. Francis, but I’m known to my friends as Francesco, and you are my friends. You are clearly and dearly my friends. So.  I do not often have this opportunity to say hello, but I would like to very much tell you thank you for your experiences on the planet which enrich us all. Thank you for your gifts given in love each time you approach a child, an animal, a bird, any other being with your love, with your hearts wide open, and this is how you proceed. 

So it is my honor to come to say thank you to you for being yourself each day on the planet. And we are greatly greatly benefited in this way. We are greatly blessed in this way. We enjoy saying our blessings to St. — and St. —- etc. [names of participants]. We enjoy honoring you, because truly you are living a life of great love, each in your own way, a life of great love and intention to serve. And that is what I did. Do not worry if you are not written up in books or canonized by the church. This is not important, as you know deeply inside yourselves. 

What is important is just to walk as love, to be as love with one another, without judgment and with great peace in your hearts and great enthusiasm and great joy and giggles. We are so grateful for all the energy that you bring to your earthly experience. And I cannot name all of the varieties of these expressions. You and your divinity and your physicality, together, have a diversity of ways of being. 

I am sensing that there is some wondering that if you are not in a wonderful place, would this be in any way a detriment to us? 

No, dear ones, take your time when this happens. Rest, relax. All of your experiences are of benefit to you. And all of them -because they are to you – are a benefit to the whole and we are whole together. So even if your mood is not elevated, even if you are grumpy or you are turning inward in some way that is of sorrow or pain, you are still a blessing because you have the courage to be here now at this most crucial time. 

It is a crucial time on the planet, and you are helping so much. All we ask of you is to remember that you are loved and we are with you. That’s all you need to know. That’s all you need to be.  We do not want you to feel alone. That’s why we are with you, so you know you are loved, because that’s all that you need to remember.

Love naturally spreads itself around. Love naturally extends itself to all living beings, even to the rocks, the molecules of water, all of the Divine Mother’s beautiful, beautiful body. We know this is what I enjoyed in my existence, and it was unusual for its time, but I was not alone. I was never alone. You spark to so many others who recognize your love, and so did I. I’m so pleased again to meet you, Dear Friends, in this context. 

More from Mary Magdalen next time… With love, Jennifer

Announcing ~ SUNDAY MARCH 16th: An OPEN channeling session with me and other COL Teachers who channel the Council of Love’s Archangels, Ascended Masters, Saints & Enlightened Beings. Join us for an hour of Q & A, inspiration and the purest loving energy. Starting at 11 am EDT, Sunday! Here’s the LINK

for Conversations with THE COUNCIL of LOVE ~

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89896565132

This is Jennifer. I’d like to share my story with you. I’ve been moved to offer channeling lately in small groups, hence the Sunday event. I sometimes ask myself, “why?” I’ve had to work through past life memories of untimely demise, and layers of timidity and projected scoffing, and still I want to channel… I want to share channeling with others. I do already share that via the blogs, but more than that… I want to share the ENERGY of LIVE CHANNELING with any who are open to listen. It is such a pure, intense and beautiful energy, one that lights my heart on fire –and I cannot keep it to myself.

All ascended beings, those who reside in a vibration higher than good ol’ 3D, carry an energy of love, and we do always ward the gathering by calling in the Archangels to bless and protect us. Sometimes we channel our favorite 5 Archangels: Michael the Protector, Raphael the Healer, Uriel “Uncle UU” resident shrink, Jophiel the father of Jesus, and Gabriel/Gabrielle, who gave the Koran to Mohammad and first told Mary that she would bring forward the Prince of Peace. They are all five very wonderful.

Sometimes we act as the speaker for one of the Ascended Masters (pictured above from one of our webinars, thank you, Rob) – any with whom we particularly resonate, sometimes it’s just who steps forward when we are centered and willing. I often feel Yeshua and Mary Magdalen ready to speak, but my teammates often channel Lao Tzu or St. Germain. Occasionally, it’s a complete surprise. If you’ve followed these posts for a while, you’ll know I have channeled a dreamy mer-being and a witty charming leprechaun! (May 29th, 2024 and Jan. 19th, 2024)

Do we sometimes channel our own souls, our “higher selves”? Yes, indeed! Isn’t all channeling from our higher selves? Yes, to a degree, but, more than just us, it’s often a partnership, a dance, if you will, with the energies of one we have invited to dance with, to play with by choice in the higher energies. It’s a collaboration, and a great model for how all of us interact when in our dream time or between lives. This is how it really works:

When in the physical body as we are now, we as channels open our heart centers, and our upper chakras, creating a passageway for the energies of a higher vibrational being to flow through, specifically to use the language centers of our brains, thereby picking up our education and some of our vernacular. The energy then flows to our hearts where we feel it, discerning the tone and content, where we get the opportunity to “approve this message” or stop. Then the energy will come out of of mouths as language, as coherent words. In my experience, the energy has always, always been positive, sensitive, highly intelligent and desiring only to be helpful to us on the planet in our lives. The energy is enlightening, loving and healing, this I can vow.

In case you’re wondering “Who are the Council of Love?” The Council of Love is a large umbrella group of very high vibration, always of love and service and supreme wisdom. We who channel with the Council of Love have developed years of trust and experience. No one awful ever shows up! They cannot jump that high. We who channel have maintained our skills through our channeling practice groups, some of which have been going for many years- or remembered skills from lifetimes of preparation in the mystery schools or the mystical branches of the world’s religions. What we have in common is our channeling teacher, Linda Dillon, in my humble opinion, one of the finest channels active in the world today https://counciloflove.com

I hope I’ve piqued your interest to join us this Sunday, or for one of our monthly calls (on 3rd Sundays) – scheduled for the “spiritual but not religious” who prefer to hang out in their pajamas on Sunday mornings (let’s see a show of hands!!) It will be 11 am, my time, Eastern USA, but that’s 8 am on the West coast, or afternoon in Europe, so check where you are… I will be sharing some of the messages here on the blog, but we won’t be recording, so as to promote the comfort level of the attendees.

We hope you’ll join us if you can! We sure would love to see you. Come as you are…

BONUS!! TREASURE HUNT: on Rob’s own website there is a free gift, a downloadable PDF booklet about the Ascended Masters ~ see if you can find it!
