Waves of Light, Waves of Love

Channeling Archangel Jophiel, by Jennifer Joy Donaldson

Note: In late April I lost a favorite uncle suddenly. It really threw me off. I was looking for balance between sadness for me and joy for him in his new life in the higher realms. I was seeking a way to stay in the love and not the loss. One of the Archangels stepped in beautifully in this channeling… such grace. Jennifer

Jen: Things have been coming just fast and furiously, but I’ve been more graceful about it and I feel good about that. I feel very grateful for all the love and support. And I feel like channeling is just the sweetest way in the world to connect and to bathe in the energies, shower in the energies, just absorb them. 

I guess this is Sponge Bob. Sponge Rob, Sponge Bobbette, Sponge Bob, feminine. Which Sponge Bob do you want to be? Sponge Bob with angels’ wings?  Oh, God.

Anyway, funny things have been happening. Humor is wonderful. So, who wants to channel with me? ( I feel like Jon Stewart doing the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of things!)  

Okay, so where’s this humor coming from? Who’s infusing me? It’s Jophiel. All right. Thank you,  Jophiel! 

Archangel Jophiel: We are most pleased that you have noticed us. We have not been able to speak for a while, and we do so much enjoy it. Thank you for opening to our energies and to the impulses of humor that I was sending. 

Humor is definitely a wonderful way for you to ground and attune, both, to the higher frequencies. So it is a little bit like lightning. It originates in the sky and it goes to ground. So humor originates in a higher vibration, and it grounds itself through the wonderful human experiences that you have, where you can laugh at yourselves and you can laugh gently and lovingly with one another and surprise yourselves and surprise each other and find the paradox, find the unusual juxtapositions which bring a chuckle. 

We are participating frequently in the frequencies of humor, and we know that you also enjoy this, and you are learning now the value of it in all situations. Even death has its humorous moments, has its great jokes. Certainly getting old has its humor, and it is one of the grace notes of elderly people that they find much to chuckle about. But when you are having your sorrow, your gray days, your rainy days within your own energy system, just be, just be.  

Trying to struggle against the energies is counterproductive. Just be with what is, because What Is is always good at that moment, and,  because What Is is All That Is. And we know that All That Is is good, is God. We are not talking about good versus bad, or good versus evil. We are talking about What IS and What Is is Life, What Is is Love. 

And you know when you struggling or when you are off-base, or you not sure which way to turn, align with love. Where is the love in this situation? You’re upset with somebody, you’re apt to want to judge them. Where is the love in this situation? Just ask yourselves over and over, “Where is the love? Where is the love in the situation?” and your heart will lead you to compassion. Your heart will lead you to humility. Your heart will lead you to stretch a hand out to another in understanding that the human condition is something all of you are experiencing, and have for many, many lifetimes. 

You’re all quite expert at being human, and now you are at the point where you can begin to let the light in to even your most human moments, when you doubt yourselves, when you feel lost, when you feel uncertain, when you feel hurt, when you feel sad. You’re learning to let the light in.

Ask yourself, Where is the love you lost [when you lost] your Uncle? Where is the love? There is so much love, so much love. Don’t worry about the parts of the relationship that were not resolved completely. All relationships have these. You can continue to have a Higher Self to Higher Self conference on this. Or you can speak to your Uncle Bob directly. 

Each of you can speak to a loved one, present or not present, physical or not physical, you can speak to them in your hearts, send the energy and it will be received. You will find that it relieves all relationships, all types of relationships. When you are able to speak from your heart, love flows naturally.

When you say, “Be in the flow,” it is, be in the flow of love. It’s not a flow of anything else. How could it be? Be in the flow of love. Be with What Is and know that you are love. What is is love?  All that IS is love. 

We are most grateful for this opportunity to bring forward our loving perspective to each one of you. Thank you. 

Jen: He’s tickling me under my arms. Thank you, Jophiel, thank you, Sweetie.

Archangel Jophiel: Not everyone calls me “Sweetie.” (!) 

Jen: Oh, adorable guy!   Yeah, that was fun.

Ukiel: Be Free!

Quote from Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll.

I’ve had this poster for years. Love the courtesy of mutual belief and acceptance of each other- as we are -that is in the quote. I happen to believe in unicorns. I know they are real on some level, have always resonated with them. The children in my life have loved this poster too, and recently pointed out the 3-D level is depicted in the water! Maybe unicorns reside in 5-D with the rest of the Elementals… Anyway, enjoy!

Channeling of a Unicorn, May 30th, 2025

Jennifer:  So I’m floating on a float in the back pool with some lemonade in my hand, there may be beer in it -LOL.

Teammate: That water is cold.

Jennifer:  Maybe I’m in Florida. Today, I’m just feeling relaxed. I’ve been kind of wondering what it would be like to channel Ukiel, who is my unicorn, just for fun. And I just noticed Ukiel coming in, kind of dipping his head, putting his hooves out in front of him and dipping down (laughs) at the edge of the pool. Oh my goodness, yeah. 

(I really, really want one of those pool toys where you get inside this little unicorn.) 

Let’s see if Ukiel has anything to say. He just snorted, turned around and swished his tail. 

Ukiel: Well, I will make words if you insist. I am Ukiel. I am your friend from forever ago and forever to be. Let us just play. I am very happy that you are just wanting to play. You are allowing yourself to play. 

You are allowing yourself to relax and just be, do what you want to do, graze where you want to graze, run, where you want to run. Why can you not be free

What is it about being human that is so so difficult? You make your own nets. You stir your own pot. 

I am here to remind you that life is to be lived any way that you choose, any way that speaks to you, sparks you, calls to you, beckons to you, any way that challenges you in an exciting way, but put down the stick, put down the saddle, put down the halter. 

You are like me. You want to be free, but you are afraid to be free. You feel you must be ridden by all your shoulds, all your must-dos. They are mean to you at times, and you accept it! Why is this? It must be very, very difficult to be human. It is not a choice that I will make, but I love you very dearly, and I will be your friend. 

So you could take a leaf from my tree, you could take a flower from my mouth, and remember to gift yourself with the abundance of joyful choices, fruitful choices, happy choices, enjoyable choices, every day, not just once or twice, and no reprimanding. That is, if you want to learn from me, if you would rather reprimand, go ahead, it does not look very fun to me. 

And all that brings you joy, as you know, brings you closer to the divinity that you are, living the full divinity that you are, and I do know this is your purpose, as you do also. 

So are you ready to get on my back, tangle your fingers in my mane, whisper in my ear, stroke my neck. Come Dear One, let us fly, fly among the clouds and enjoy this beautiful day. 

Jennifer: He’s silky! 

Teammate: Well, that was fun.

More Fun In The Cenote

A wonderful episode from our channeling group session on 5/27/2024: Enjoy!

Jennifer: Seeing the water …is is like this beautiful kind of jade green. But clear. The walls of the cave are like this dark, dark, dark brown. If you look up, the walls come in and there’s a circle of light at the top that’s blue, like the blue behind Roxanne, brilliant blue and the sun’s coming in and they’re little plants that are hanging on the walls. I like to just hang out in that water, stretch out in it and float, it feels so contained. It feels like a kiva, like being in a kiva that was created by Mother Earth, built with the water of life and emotion and life, life-giving water. Life-receiving water. Life-sustaining water. So if I float, I just feel held, peaceful, calm. There is a balcony around 10 feet up from the surface of the water and there’s sometimes people looking down…

Rob: That would be those of us in the peanut gallery.

Jennifer: I think of it, sometimes ,as the Ascended Masters…could be our friends, our guides, just passers-by. Know how, in a dream, you can show up in a dream and in a funny location and there’s somebody else you know in that same location? It’s kind of like that. All right, well, I’m getting  [that I am] describing ‘out there’ and it’s actually ‘in here’. It’s the well of my heart, the water of my body, my body of water, warm and nurturing. Pure green/ blue, restful and peaceful. Restoring, restorative. Today I’m just stretching out like floating. I love to float with my arms out and my legs out and my head back, just feel the water holding me up.

Now, I’m getting tickled from underneath. (laughs). It’s funny. It was like a little mer-man, down there, kind of blue, was tickling me.

There’s fish coming out of my belly button. That’s pretty funny,  popping out like goldfish.

My hair is turning into seaweed, but it’s very pale compared to the seaweed in New England. It’s very pale, beautiful emerald green, that’s very like hair. All over my head and coming out fingers and my toes, like I’m a part of this. I’m some kind of Angel of the earth. Made of Earth-beingness, made of water and Spirit

And I have…I feel like I can pump around the pool very quickly, like a frog, upside down, if I want. (giggling)  Alright, so now, I’m kind of playing like a frog,  kind of flipping around, and diving in and coming up…

Settling back down now…  My eyebrows are green, and I have green lips and green whiskers (giggle, laugh)

Oh my gosh, I’m half seaweed! 

Speaking from this Mer-being:  But it is by being this Being, who is also a part of me, that I am able to be the Jennifer that you know, because we are multiple in our oneness. We have multitude of expression, some surprising! And it is very much fun to show you – to you, to show me – to me. 

Be visible in new ways…Part of…Settled into …Coming from….Dancing with….Splashing and playing ….and there is the leapfrog – that is fun too 

And above is our Mother’s blue and our Father’s sky….Father’s pure air ….Our Mother’s blanket of love  ….Gaia’s beautiful, beautiful dark dark dark, earthy, rocky brown 

So beautiful ….And I’m happy to play in this body, in this pool.

We are ever present as an aspect of you.  You will find your own aspects as well. We love to introduce ourselves, but you may dismiss us as your own fantasy.  But it is true, you are a multiplicity. Yes, I think that it is taught, when you begin as one cell and become many, even in just the creation of this one body that you wear now, where you inhabit you infuse with your love,

the soul likes to play in many forms. 

We are most grateful to come forward, to become visible to you today.

See, the Earth truly is a library for the universe. There are diverse species and beings in higher vibration next to the physical species that you enjoy in your nature programs. Perhaps in time your documentaries will show the accelerated beings who are also present within your beautiful Gaia. She is hosting representations of life from the entire universe. Many of them not yet visible, but they will become so, if you take the time to see.

We are an ancient species.  We all have our home world, places where we first took form. Although we have birthed ourselves in the physical in these other worlds, many, many times, this does not mean this is the only place where we have taken the physical form. I could call myself an Earthling. But really, I am universal. I am a universal being, because I so enjoy playing in the places of beauty and water all over our universe. My home planet was Venus. I do carry the green and the blue, and the great love of the Mother, the Father.

I am most delighted to have this opportunity to talk with you today.

I wonder if anyone has any questions, and if not I shall go back to my floating.

Roxanne: I do. I would absolutely love to be able to see accelerated light beings such as yourself. Any guidance on how I can do that?

Mer-being: Yes. Find yourself in a beautiful place. Sit quietly. Close your eyes, for you will see them more quickly without the physical eyes. The physical screen is greatly distracting to the inner vision at times, usually. So allow your inner vision to bring to you the sightings that you long for. Does this help?

Roxanne: Yes it does. Thank you so much.

Rachel, you have a question as well? 

Rachel: Yes, so, I’m trying to understand.  You’re a being of Jennifer?  A version of her? Her Higher Self?  You said, you’re part of the soul, I’m not sure I understand. 

Mer-being: The soul is expressing in many different being-nesses, in many different versions of physicality, in many vibrations. 

Rachel: Well! We’ll have to talk more about that (laughing). I don’t know what to say. 

Mer-being: Perhaps begin to visualize it this way. The soul is more of a cluster than you think.

Rachel: I see. And more of us… So you’re part of Jennifer? 

Mer-being: mhm [yes]

Rachel: But are other parts of her somewhere else? 

Mer-being: Yes. 

Rachel: That’s where we’re going with this… 

Mer-being: And she is part of me,  we are related,  like cousins.

Rachel: Cousins.

Mer-being: Trying to use a metaphor, simile or something.

Rachel: I’ll let the teachers here help me after.

Rob: How shall we refer to you? By what name? 

Mer-being: My name is rather complicated, but for your purposes: “Anya” will serve.  

Rob: Thank you so much.

Rachel: Yes, thank you.  

Mer-being Anya: I’m delighted to visit with you today. I am grateful that Jennifer is just tired enough that she allowed me to slip through.  

Rachel: Thank you. 

Anya: You’re most welcome. I’m so grateful to you. Farewell for now.

FUN, huh?

Advice from Archangel Uriel: Be Laughter!

Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.com

Jennifer:  (laughter) I just saw the funniest thing… You know when you’re getting centered, front, back, side to side? I just saw this slinky go straight up my chakras, it’s like a bejeweled slinky, and it got up to the crown and all these fireworks (laughing) went off!  My God the way our inner selves play, or something.. I mean … I just think it’s hilarious!! Okay. (mock serious) Now Roger Rabbit will be coming to speak with you (everyone laughs).

Rob: Because “laughter is like music in their realm”. 

Jennifer: That’s right! It’s probably Uncle UU again, right? Okay. I was just too silly to.. maybe I’m too silly to channel…(giggles) (taking a breath)…Okay, this is definitely a follow up from last week. 

Archangel Uriel: It is indeed Uriel. Because we so delight in surprising you, because it is our great joy in emphasizing to you the power of your own detachment from whatever you expected to happen. For, you see, when you are fully detached, wonderful new things can come through that you did not expect at all. You have not even imagined! Who would have thought there would be a bejeweled slinky, within you, that would set up fireworks? And if you would like to speak with Roger Rabbit we can make this happen…?

We so delight in merging our energies with you when you are laughing. If you have ever felt your laughter impelled by something greater than yourself – believe it – we are with you, if you’ve ever felt your laughter magnified, to a point of embarrassment, to where you could not stop laughing, where tears were leaking from your eyes. See, we so enjoy piling on when this energy is present. We just like to let you know that you, with laughter, the power of laughter with each of you, you are inviting our presence.  And we magnify the laughter, and we spread it out. It is powerful stuff. Do not feel in any way embarrassed by this. It is truly glorious!

Be laughter! Be your laughter, when it comes. I know you all think that you snort like horses or you cheep like chimpanzees, but it does not matter. Those are sometimes the body’s attempt to suppress this wonderful roiling, rolling, rocking energy; so it is constricting the voice just a little, the air passages. Relax and enjoy your laughter. Enjoy your body’s health,  allowing such a flow of love through you. How can it not be love, when everything is love?

We are following up on our communion, from a few days ago, with this introduction about laughter. We are also very interested in your conversation about why things happen the way they do and whether choice is involved or not involved, how your life plans come to fruition, how you align yourself with your plan or not your plan, where your resistance is, where your fears reside. All of these instances where discomfort comes up for you, in your lives, these are places where there is still some learning to be done, still some self-acceptance to be won, to be gained, to your greater comfort, to your greater peace.

So we offer that you are making these choices; you are making these choices with your Higher Self. There is nothing that comes to you [that] you have not chosen, on some level, and it is often the less conscious levels that are impelling the choosing. They are whispering in your ear “Choose this, choose this, choose this!” And you would like to say “Nooo, I don’t want to do that.”  You have asked for our guidance. You asked us before you were born “Please stay with me. Stay tightly to me, please! Don’t abandon me ever, ever, ever. Please tell me what to do. Please!”  And we agreed. 

We agreed to remind you who you are, the power of your own creatorship. Your thoughts manifest. Your choices manifest. You chose to be human. You chose to be- not perfect. You chose with compassion to understand life, from a point of view where you would experience additional pain, where you would experience some embarrassment, or you would experience old age. So do not curse the wrinkles. Do not put yourself down for the glorious creations you are becoming, day by day. It is a wonderful thing to see. Why is there such judgment still lingering? Because you are well used to it; it is rather ingrained. It would be nice to hang this out- like your laundry -and then forget to bring it back in!

We do so love playing with you. We do so love speaking with you. We have enjoyed these moments together tonight. In the interest of time we will pass the baton, so that [others] may have [their] moments of communion and the joy of feeling that flows through [their] own beings. Bless you all. We love you so dearly.

For more of Jennifer’s messages:

A Simple Choice

Jennifer: Archangel Gabriel…

AAG: Gabriel-Gabrielle- whatever you enjoy hearing, speaking- call me anything you like, call me Joy for I am joy! It is my greatest pleasure showering you with sparkling bubbles, beautiful, iridescent, magical, golden bubbles. This is my way of being playful. There are many- I’m not limited to bubbles. 

But I would just come to affirm for you that one of the most potent ways that you can be prepared and, indeed, serve your brothers and sisters on the planet is through your playfulness and through your joy, because people do find it mildly attractive when others are having fun. Even if they are in the doldrums, they will say to themselves, ‘Oh, I would like to have fun too. I would like for my life to be lighter. I would like to enjoy more.’  They will feel a little sorry for themselves, perhaps, but they may realize that in fact all they have to do is choose to go forward and join the circle. 

It is a simple choice to choose joy. It is a simple choice to choose love. But one must sometimes get around the nest, the tangle, in one’s head of all the thoughts one has had, all the judgments one has had about those who have too good a time. And they’re committed to their very hard struggle through life. But as the energies lighten up as there is more and more going on. As there’s more and more changing, people will realize that it is possible to make this choice. It is that simple. And they will begin to be open to joy in surprising places. A chuckle here or there, or a funny joke, a good cartoon. 

You see, all of the avenues that you have in your world for lightheartedness, for wisdom entertaining as laughter, laughter is a great transmutation and you know this, you know how it has helped you tremendously in your lives and it continues to be brilliant for you. You see it as a brilliant material, just like your life vests, or your -what is it?-  noodles, that you play with in your pool. Laughter is a noodle – how’s that for a bumper sticker? So promote laughter, promote joy, promote fun. Promote the paradox of humor and wisdom. The wisdom of children, the beauty of laughter, the amazement of what’s amazing, the amazement of this incredible world that you live in! As our dear Francesco [teammate channeling St. Francis] has brought forward to you, the amazing beauty of the world that you live in —does it not bring you joy?

Yes, this one [Jennifer] enjoys social media because it is her great enjoyment to pass along and, sometimes, take pictures of surprising, amazing, beautiful moments in life, surprising amazing, beautiful things found on her walks. Take your camera! Begin to take pictures. You will see beautiful things. We’ll put them right in front of your eyes, if you like. She has a friend who is a tree, lives down the road. Every time she goes by she looks over at him, sees him smiling. He’s got a great big grin, two beady eyes, her friend the tree. 

You see, there are wondrous, wondrous things available to you in every moment. And if you use those as your nurturing, nurture yourself!  Fill yourself up with the beauty of those surprises that Gaia brings to you, that the Elementals bring to you, that we bring to you.  We love to craft with natural materials. Did you not know this? We do.

We are making heart rocks for you. We are making pictures in the clouds. We are bringing you untold amazement, but it’s up to you to take it in and use this as your platform, use this as your launch pad! 

Do not be in any way afraid to share with your brothers and sisters on what you call your social media. The whole fear factor is really blown way out of proportion. Truly. Where your heart goes, so will all the protection that you would ever need when you move in love, when your motivation comes from all that you are, with the desire to uplift, to serve, to share your light, your marvelous, extraordinary, individual lights, your witness of love.  If that is your motivation, never be afraid. You do not have to participate. But it is fun. It is another avenue for you to enjoy the sharing of that which uplifts you, because it will uplift,  uplift others. This builds a beautiful energy. So this is one way forward. If you choose it.  

You do know how to build energies. Day by day, one pair of eyes after another, you know how to build trust, you know how to build connection and there are many ways to further grow the radius of your contacts with your brothers and sisters. But I would suggest that you do not limit yourself to only that which you are most comfortable with. There may be some ideas that come to you that you are tempted to say ‘No, I don’t want to do that.’  But you may be, you may be being guided, by those of us who can see a little bit farther than you can, to an opportunity to expand your awareness, to expand your appreciation of the potential, the unlimited potential of every moment. So it is time to set your cautions to the side, to the extent that you can.  Let each day bring you – what it brings you. 

I am enjoying so much communing with your hearts. My words are not important at this point. It is really that I feel your hearts, I feel your love and I share mine,  so it is a moment of great joy and blessing. Thank you. Thank you for your open hearts. They radiate so beautifully. We can see them a long way off.

Spirit Cafe on Saturday! *cU*

It’s free, it’s open and you’re invited! 

We are excited to continue our Spirit Cafe, a monthly, online hour for spiritually-minded folk to gather, learn and share all things spiritual!  For friends, old and new, who enjoy joining in thoughtful conversation about all the many interesting spiritual subjects out there, from health to ETs ~ a warm welcome to join us at Spirit Cafe! This month it’s on Saturday March 9th, at 11 am Eastern Standard Time!

This month we will begin with the topic of Energy– we are all feeling it, even if we aren’t aware of it, we know something’s different… So, what’s going on?!

Hosted by Sue Scofield

OPEN MINDED & OPEN HEARTED <3<3<3

Meet us at Spirit Cafe!

by Sue Scofield  

     It’s time again for Spirit Cafe, our place to gather with friends (and a cup of your favorite coffee or tea!) to open its doors and invite us in to chat about all things spiritual!  The doors will open this Saturday February 10th, at 11:00 am, EST, for an hour of spontaneous, heartfelt discussion about anything and everything connected to spirituality and to each other as Spirit having a physical experience. 

     If you’re unfamiliar with Spirit Cafe, it was born from the weekly gathering of my personal Spirit Family, Jen Donaldson, Adrienne Head, Rob Loveland and Paul Backes, together with our new Soul Sister, Roxanne Smith.  We comprise a Team of certified Council of Love Teachers and SpiritLife Coaches, but when we get together at Spirit Cafe we’re just us – friends who love to explore spirituality. 

  We meet practically every Saturday to plan webinars and classes, and to just plain enjoy each other’s company!  It often happens that during the course of a weekly “meeting”, we veer off course and get lost in spontaneous conversation about unrelated spiritual topics.  We LOVE when that happens!  In fact, we love it so much that I had the thought that we should create a platform that provides an opportunity for anyone who wanted to enter into conversation about the fascinating world of spirituality to have a way to do that, and Spirit Cafe was born! 

I say I had the thought to create Spirit Cafe, but it was truly a Spirit Family effort!  And we extend our hearts to you, along with our sincere invitation for you to join us this coming Saturday, the 10th of February, and the 2nd Saturday of every month.  We sometimes suggest a topic to start off with, but we always allow the freedom for our conversations to take us wherever they take us!  We hope you choose to grab your favorite “cuppa” and meet us at Spirit Cafe!  

Elemental Aspect of Self? Hello?!

It’s a month early for Leprechauns but hey- it was a surprise to me too! Here’s the transcript of a lighthearted, but still heart-felt channeling that came forward this week. Buckle up and get your giggles on! LOVE ~ Jennifer

Jennifer: All right..I have a question about Elementals. I’ve found myself absolutely fascinated with Elementals recently and I’m reading a book that was written by a leprechaun . It’s just cracking me up. I just love it. It’s so much fun. I can’t get anything else read because all I want to do is read the leprechaun book, so I just thought I might bring that forward and see if it gets me anywhere. So I’m inviting any of the angels, my guides, the Ascended Masters, who would like to come forward, to come forward because I’m really just goofing around inside myself. 

[note: the book is by Tanis Helliwell, The Leprechaun’s Story]

Having taking a moment to settle and rest and wait rather than making something happen, I just saw somebody whizzing by on a bicycle. That was interesting. Oh my gosh, it’s a day for humor! Yes. There’s like telegraph wires and there’s people riding bicycles along them. Okay. We’re getting playful today. 

New Voice: Yes, this is the most wondrous development! We are more, more than happy, to speak with you. I am an aspect of Jennifer, who is entirely playful and silly and always beefing up anything interesting, anything funny, anything humorous, anything to bring a belly laugh, to shake the foundations of all of the beliefs and the thought systems and the structures which hold you in such rigid postures, in such rigid chastity -belts-of-the-mind. [!] 

Oh, for heaven’s sakes, you say? Relax. Let it be joyful. Let your life find the gold in every single moment. Let your eyes and your ears and your fingers and your heart and your tippy toes, let them just dance through each moment! The possibilities are endless, but you short circuit yourselves.. you… You decide ahead of time, what is going to happen and then you measure yourself up to this imagination. It is often rather fruitless and sometimes quite barren and sometimes quite gray, and black and white— and not fun at all. And so we would invite you to walk in Technicolor, to talk in hyperbole, parabola, swing on the branches. Take a,  take a leaf from the book of the chimpanzees. Eat a banana. I mean honestly, put one in your ear! 

It is totally fine to be silly. funny, goofy, childlike ,wonder-like, imaginative to the point where you’re making paradoxes in every moment, where you’re connecting things that don’t connect, where you’re making anachronisms, and, you know, half duck and half fish or those silly things that you’d like to make when you’re children, and then you grow out of them. And then you think you’ve got to be serious all the time. And you think you have to think all the time and you think you have to make sense all the time. And you don’t you can be totally foolish for the pure joy of not knowing what the next thing out of your mouth will be! 

So you see, it is quite possible to be many aspects of yourself and it’s quite possible to deliberately decide not to filter everything, through your sensible filter, or through your wise & spiritual filter. We like this one, too, but we are a big fan of that Yogi Beyondananda guy who poked fun at all this spirituality. Because honestly, it is not helpful to take yourself too seriously. 

Now we do understand the yearnings of the heart. We do understand where there is this longing for love. Because you have secluded yourselves from your own divine nature for so many lifetimes, and for so many years within this one— for you are all not exactly teenagers. Cute as you are, sweet as you are, inventive as you are, you are ones who have walked the years of this life to a place where you can claim greater freedom. So do it! Do it and enjoy yourself. This is the path to joy-  it’s to let go, to let go of the way you think it will arrive, to let go of the way you think it will feel, to let go of managing the energy of the Universe as it comes through you -because you are not quite certain that you dare to let some things speak for you. Is there anything other than love? 

Truly, truly? Only in disguise. There are those who are pretending, there are those who are dressing up with the scary rubber mask. Just for the fun of it. And they too will have a laugh. At the end, it will be a great party and you will go “Why did I struggle so hard?”

 We are grateful for you for coming together. We have greatly enjoyed your pre-talk. We have greatly enjoyed your conversation where you share your hearts with one another. We are much enlivened by the laughter that you are channeling into your reality, because laughter is very sacred. Very wonderful energy! So play more, be silly more. Will you allow yourself this? It is a freedom—  you must claim it.

(Laughter) Yes, allow the green hair to grow in your belly button. It is totally fine. We will enjoy it. And so will you. We hope. Much love and laughter to you. 

My name is Gabriel Rafter. * Goodbye!
