Here is another of the channelings that we offered in a recent class of The Infinity Keys. It’s amazing to me how the Ascended Masters, in this case Mary Magdalen, so perfectly complement and amplify our human understandings. It’s so good to be growing and learning with their help… deeply grateful. Love, Jen
Jennifer: …Connectedness lives within each of us, and we can imagine it as outside of us and covering the whole world. We can imagine it as cosmic, but it’s also simultaneously very personal. So just feel lit up within your heart, your heart space, very luminous. Invite your own whole self, your own divine self, to be fully present within your body today, to experience this with you, as you.
So I’m going to invite Mary Magdalen to address us. She is the speaker for the card of Hope in the Council of Love card deck, and I felt that she would like to bring the channeling today, on Hope and Connectedness.
Mary Magdalen: Greetings. I am Mary, Magdalena, also known as “Maggie,” your friend, your sister, beloved of Yeshua, beloved of many, and you are my beloved.
We celebrate our connection. We celebrate this connection. We not only have a technological connection through our screens, we have an energetic connection. Think of it as a great cluster of bubbles, beautiful, translucent, luminous bubbles, filled with color and light, all touching one another, grouping together. Yes.
Yes. Each of these places where one bubble touches another, and you will be touching many other bubbles simultaneously, these are our connections. But the principle under which we gather is our Connectedness. This is a Divine Truth: that we are together, all of life, all of creation, creator and creation in connectedness.
And you are beginning to remember this. You are beginning to feel your ability to sense this, this truth, and to choose this truth in your daily life. You will have moments when you are feeling isolation again, yes, you are feeling very much alone and in need of a dose of connection.
Yes, this is a very human longing. Your longing for the holy really is a longing for your own whole self, and just know that with that longing, you will receive encouragement. You will receive the sensations, the reminders, the words, the energies that just allow you to say, “Oh, wait a minute! There is a greater connection.”
And if you struggle for this, if you do not quite feel this greater connection, you’re still feeling the isolation of your own individual bubble, and a very grounded bubble at that. Sometimes you will be feeling very earthbound, at times.
Well, the very next step, the “better feeling” step, is to seek companionship. Yes, to meet another’s eyes. To make friends, to say a kind word,. Even a few seconds of companionship with another will remind you of your connectedness. Little connections, daily.
This is why your social media is so popular. Why it resonates. Yes, there are some abuses, some excesses, some three-dimensional aspects to it, but it has wonderful potential for awakening within you the remembrance of connectedness.
And as soon as you begin to lift out of your individual personalities and remember [that] your personality is only this life, is only this expression – You are so much more! – then you begin to lift into all that you are, and that is when you begin to feel true connectedness.
It is a truth that lives within you, and then will express in all that you see around you. You will draw it to you until it fills your screen, it fills your daily life. And joy, and joy. This is what we call awakening, the reconnection to all that you are. All that you are includes All of Life. You would think it’s a bit crowded, but in fact, it is vaster than you know, vaster than you can take in. Yes.
So grow, grow your heart, grow your wings, grow your sense of connection and connectedness. We love you very much. We are always with you. Whenever you tug on us, we will speak to you. We will bring you help. It is done. Bless you all.
Jen: Thank you, thank you, Maggie.
Channeling with Mary Magdalen, Class 2 of The Infinity Keys, Sept 12, 2026 by Jennifer Joy Donaldson
Hi All… We have gained many wonderful new friends from our webinars, our clients, our channeling and the many Council of Love events over the years… and we enjoy connecting on FaceBook, but the best opportunity to engage in real conversation together, with you, is on Spirit Cafe!
We appreciate all who attend, and it feels so cohesive sharing our heartfelt perceptions about what it feels like to flow with the new energies. Often we celebrate the good news of lighter happenings and feeling brighter and more full of fun. Sometimes Life on Earth feels like such a bumpy ride, choppy and hard to balance, so, we commiserate and offer reassurance to each other. Lots of times, we want to share personal growth or even spiritual news from the web.
Spirit Cafe is where we pool our collective wisdom into fuel for the journey. Spirit Cafe is where hugs are virtual but still real, and where we include ourselves in the love & compassion we send out to the world.
Last year when we were two!!
Drop in to Lighthouse for the Soul’s Spirit Cafe this month, to celebrate what it means to be a spiritual light family — always welcome, always valued and always part of the whole. Hosted by Sue Scofield with a panel of COL teachers: Rob, Adrienne, Roxanne, Martin & (me) Jennifer. It’s always FREE.
Hi Everyone, we want to invite you to join us for Spirit Cafe, our free monthly discussion of spirituality!
This time the topic will be: Self, Selfishness and Service…
Much to mull over and share as we gather to elevate our everyday experience to the highest vibe we are each discovering, what our host Sue calls the 40,000 foot perspective!
We will discuss levels of the self/Self (earthly self & Higher Self) how they manifest in our moments, how attending to the self/Self may be perceived – even by us- as selfishness, and how to transmute that judgement.
Finally, we’ll share the basis and expression of service in our lives in relation to how we see and nurture our s/Selves. A quick glimpse of that may be: going inward with our focus to then connect and refill, so as to have the capacity to pour out… how does that work for you?
We learn so much from each other through these discussions and from all of you who join us as well. Our Cafes are a reunion of friends, a learning opportunity and our hearts’ service to each other and our s/Selves…
There’s more information and a link on our Spirit Cafe page.
PS Recently our Spirit Cafe offering received a beautiful new image on the Council of Love’s website calendar— pictured above— thank you Isaac!
We’re LIVE and UP for another hour of heart-centered conversation, where we take everyday issues and concerns and lift them into a higher perspective. Any topic is fair game, though we will often open with something that’s current. Lately the question of family contracts and soul contracts has come up… are they still valid, or have we moved into greater freedom to play it by ear, or even just to play? What do you think/sense/feel?
Join the Lighthouse team for a safe space to speak your heart. We get together at 11 am ET (New York) this Saturday, 18th of April and YOU are invited!! Just click this ZOOM LINK.
With Love, Sue, Jen, Rob, Adrienne, Martin, Roxanne and Paul
This week’s guest post is by Tam Randles, a very dear colleague and classmate with The Council of Love. We have taken many wonderful classes together from Linda Dillon and then became certified together in 2021. Tam has become a clear voice for unity & divine alignment, embodying the teachings of the Archangels and Ascended Masters who channel as the Council of Love in a lovely, gentle, sweet and balanced way. Tam is heading up a special free event on Saturday, Feb. 28th at 11 am EST (New York time) to share her vision & understanding of how we are the New Humans emerging on Nova Earth. Here is a little of her invitation, and a link. I hope you will join me and all the Lighthouse team on Saturday! Love, Jen
This is A New Beginning… an awakening into a Diamond Age of Miracles and Wonder — not as fantasy, but as embodied reality we are learning to live.
— a New Beginning… an awakening into a Diamond Age of Miracles and Wonder — not as fantasy, but as embodied reality we are learning to live.
This is where The Great Awakening matters: not as information, but as embodiment.
Archangel Jophiel reminds us: “The Future is Now.” It’s “Go Time.” And that familiar phrase from Conscious Creating with the Mother has re-emerged:
“Just Do It.”
We are in an alignment of timelines, dimensions, and frequencies — a convergence where past and future meet as Presence in the Now.
There’s a Native teaching that what we do now affects the past seven generations and the future seven generations. In this way, what we choose now heals what has been and creates what comes next.
The future we are returning to is the Original Plan: Gaia as a planet of Peace and Love — where we live as one family in the fullness of who we truly are.
So “Just Do It” — NOW — also means: Just BE it. The tide has turned — to BE a radiant NEW Wave of Love, Life, and Light, Peace for All in a world that works for everyone…
Can you feel the pulse of these past 13-year cycles with the Council of Love?
1987 — Harmonic Convergence (a new tone, a new vibration)
2000 — Victory 2000
2013 — The New You: Emerging into the Brilliance of Humanity’s Heart Consciousness
2013 — Mother’s Tsunami of Love: “Be the wave.”
2026 — A New Beginning, a new circle, a Diamond Age
I keep hearing this phrase:
“The tide is turning.”
So… let us be the wave — in unity, alignment, and embodied action.
You’re invited:
A Free Great Awakening Gathering — Saturday, February 28 (11:00am Eastern)
An overview of the foundational map (Linda Dillon’s book: The Great Awakening, 2012), what’s new now and an invitation into the deeper journey.
This article written by Rob Loveland recently appeared in the Council of Love’s newsletter. We have all been captivated by the 112 day walk of the Buddhist monks from TX to DC. Not just their powerful gesture and its inherent dedication but the response, the hunger for peace among all the ordinary people who witnessed this extraordinary act of love and endurance. Our team at A Lighthouse for the Soul is eager to get together and discuss this on Saturday Feb. 21- details below… please come!
Peace & Love,
Sue, Adrienne, Roxanne, Rob, Jen & Martin
Are You Following the Walk For Peace?
Since October 2025, a group of Buddhist monks have been walking 2300 miles across the United States, from Ft Worth, TX, to Annapolis, MD, to raise awareness of inner peace and mindfulness. The monks are on day 109 of the 120-day trek, currently visiting the monuments in Washington, D.C. They were even joined for a time by their loyal dog, Aloka! Many find their story very inspirational, especially given the unusually cold winter, so they are clearly achieving their intended purpose.
Regardless of whether you have been following the Walk For Peace journey (which can be done on-line at https://www.facebook.com/walkforpeaceusa), the question before you is, are you following your own path of peace? As the global political system continues to show itself to be so polarized, are you staying within that place of peace, that place beyond being sucked into the fray, where each side tries to convince the other that they are right. From the Divine Mother’s perspective, does it really matter?
This is what we would like to discuss at Saturday’s Spirit Cafe. We are sure you have valuable suggestions for how you’re dealing with the chaos to find that inner peace. Please join us to share your wisdom, to learn something, and to enjoy the company of like-minded souls.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21st, 11 am – 12 pm EST (New York time)
Note from Jen: Last week in our channeling group, Rob, Rachel and I were musing on the progress of this blog and the desire to reach as many as possible, hoping that our consistency and our love for learning from the Council of Love, the Masters and Archangels, would find resonance in others around this planet who long to remember all that they know of Universal Truth. Master Kuthumi is one of my guides and, like Yeshua, very dear to my heart, yet I seldom channel him. I was deeply touched by his gentle, loving responses.
If you don’t know much about Kuthumi [“Koot-hoomey”], Rob’s research turned up that he had been one of the three wise men who attended the baby Jesus in the Bible story. He has had many lives on Earth, continually in service to awaken humanity. He was also embodied as John the Beloved and St. Francis of Assisi. For more info, see pg 26 ofRob’s free downloadable PDF booklet.
Enjoy this inside look at our guidance from Kuthumi:
Jen: I’d like to invite Kuthumi to speak today, to say hello, if he’d like to connect, and if you Rachel or Rob have any questions on any of the topics we spoke about today… I’m also interested if there’s any guidance we can get for our Lighthousefor the Soul website is it continues to reach more people, and what guidance we can give to Rob as he continues to share, trusting that it will be received somewhere, somehow, by someone.
Lord Kuthumi
Kuthumi: Greetings. I am Master Kuthumi. You each are known to me, and I am most pleased to address you today, in this interesting way, through your devices. We do see you, see your energy, not your images. It is interesting to see from this [physical] perspective as well.
I am one who is a calming presence for Jennifer, one who draws her to her center and helps her prolong her preparation so that she is coming from a calm place, a detached place, detached only to the degree of the stepping aside. Her meditations have been rather jumpy lately. I am often one who is there in conversation with you, and you think it’s yourself. A gentle presence. I prefer this. It is effective.
This would be true also for that which you offer on your website, and the different ways in which you participate in the World Wide Web, the electronic web, I should say, because you all participate freely on the world-wide etheric web. [The electronic web] is a step, intermediate, intermediary, a bridge from a time when you were much more separated into your own individual lives into a time when you will be communicating largely telepathically and largely through a desire to contact some information, and there it will be available to you. But for now, you are in training. The electronic devices are your training wheels, so enjoy them. When you’re out of body, of course you do not have your plug-in devices. It would be most inconvenient. Your energies would be hanging around the receptacles! [LOL]
Yes, it is lovely to see you stretching your energies. Because this is what you do. You speak from your heart, your center. You allow what is within you to well through you, hand in hand with one of us, many times but not always. And you share freely. You share this with anyone who’s out there with no fear. This is a most wonderful thing.
This is an affirmation of your trust and your faith in who you are, connecting with your divinity. It is a perfectly natural thing to do. There are many who will hide from this. We are most pleased for you that you are willing to share in these ways, openly, without a great deal of self doubt. If a little self doubt creeps in, so be it, another layer has been peeled from the onion. [The layers are made of] all of your constructs, your constructed ideas and beliefs over the many generations of your body, your DNA, and the many generations of your own explorations.
It is easier to line them up looking toward the past, because it’s very difficult to lay them all on top of each other at the same time. It is difficult for you, in time and space, to visualize everything happening at once, because then it would all be in the same time in the same space. How could that be possible? And it is just a little mind-boggling.
So we will slow it down for you. This [slowing] is one of the functions of time and space. We will space it out for you so you can see clearly that you have the different lives. And do not tease yourselves too much and worry about when it happened.
16th c. Woodcut, artist unknown
You see, little by little your comfort zones are growing vastly, vastly. There are many who take in what you share on your website. They do not comment. There are many who take in part of it, just a phrase, a few words, and they contemplate that for a while. In a month, a year, they’ll come back, they’ll remember that there was someone, somewhere, somehow, who showed them, who peeled back the sky and showed them there is more.
This is a beautiful circle, and you do it with your hearts. You do not need to count the numbers. You are not opening a mega church. You do not need to count the number of people who show up. Just know that your heart needs to expand. Your heart longs to reach out to each other. This is the desire of unity and you are building this unity, heart by heart, moment by moment, week by week.
You have been most faithful and we are most grateful because you do what we cannot do. We can whisper to you. We can speak to you in your dreams. We can meet with you in your dream time. During the day, when the shades of ordinary thinking cover your perception, you must look through layers to see truth. You must dive deep into your hearts to feel truth. It’s much more common to maintain your perspective of separation.
Anything you do to build unity, whether it is to have a neighborhood picnic, a “cookout” in your summertime, something so natural as that would be scary for some, while others do it very easily. They reach their hearts out and they say, “Let us be brothers and sisters. Let us be comfortable together. Let’s be in union.”
We’re not going to be one being, not while we are still exploring the realms of consciousness and the different expressions, the different planetary experiences, the different physical experiences available to us. There are many, many, many, many potential experiences… Are there any questions?
Rachel: Just a quick question. So the concern of the numbers or all of that, you’re saying to let all of that go, and then people will come when they’re ready, more or less, right?
Kuthumi: It is as though you have, you have dug a well in a beautiful place, and the water is bubbling up from the beautiful earth filling the well, and you have hung a cup beside the well. And you have planted a tree to shade the well. You do not need to hide in the tree and count the number of people who pass by and take a drink. Just know that you made a well, and it will serve by its very nature.
Rachel: Yeah, and is that how we’re drawn to our purpose? Like for Rob and Jen, this was their purpose in terms of building Lighthouse– one of their many, I’m sure- but, you know, in terms of the reasons for coming on Earth, was this sort of their choice at this moment, at this time, or was this sort of predetermined before they came? What’s the difference? And you could say that about their career choices as well, right?
Kuthumi: These are many questions.
Rachel: I know. Sorry, got excited.
Kuthumi: It is fine. These two are communicators. They love to communicate. They have their different styles and their different interests, but they both have this in common that they enjoy very much communicating, and they are practiced at it, good at it. It would be natural that they would build a communication “well.” And it’s not literally made of water. No, it is made of information. It is made of inspiration. It is made of wonder, it’s made of beauty, and it’s made of relationship.
This is unity, restoring relationship with ALL other forms of life. Have you hugged your rock today? It’s just a matter of remembering your relationships, and community is one way in which you are able to be drawn together, just like thread, stitching you together.
And Jennifer was wondering if there would come a time when communication were much easier with others with whom there is a greater history and greater barriers?
The answer is, Yes. It is all going to become easier. Not that you will sit around and sip lemonade and do nothing. That is not what I am saying. You love to be active, but it is really that the flow of action which you choose will become rather simple. This could be: simple to make a meal. It could be: simple to make a post, simple to channel, simple to gather with others.
Every time it becomes a chore, you can be sure there is resistance there and you are pushing. Pushing, because you think that is your purpose. Allow your purpose to arise from the passion that is naturally you.
Allow your purpose to arise from the passion that is naturally you.
All: Thank you, Lord Kuthumi.
That’s it! So encouraging… Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the ones who read our blog. May you all have a blessed and fulfilling new year!Love, Jen
Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, Maine, USA, Dec. 26th, 2025.
We are excited to announce that we’ll be hosting the next SPIRIT CAFE group conversation on Saturday, December 20th at 11 am EST. What is Spirit Cafe? The leading topic this month will be Who & Where Are We, Anyways? ~ a check-in on what’s evolved for each of us, in terms of how we feel the ascension is going and how we see ourselves as galactic citizens! Yeah, really!!!
Lately, Rob’s channeling of 3i/Atlas (and Linda Dillon’s also & others) have got our team thinking more about this aspect of our ascending identities. Perhaps you, too, are tuning in to a sense that you remember something or resonate with some of the celestial civilizations out there… Have you got a story to share? A recent intuitive experience of knowing you have ET origins? Cosmic family? How is that helping you?
Sue sent this channeling to us this week, and synchronistically I, Jen, had just started reading Ken Carey’s book The Starseed Transmissions… guess we’re sharing a wave-length! LOL. Written in 1988 – who knew? (Perhaps you have all his books on your bookshelf.) We find things when it’s the best time for them to make sense to us. Personally, I wouldn’t have been able to relate 37 years ago! Ken Carey was way ahead of his time!! Enjoy this read: https://goldenageofgaia.com/2025/12/16/ken-carey-return-of-the-bird-tribes-chapter-one/
ANYWAYS… how are you doing? And have you been connecting to some of the fascinating channelings from and about Galactic Beings posted more often these days? We are really interested in the Arcturians! So much to learn and be excited about… and through something like Spirit Cafe, we can truly support each other.
SO— BRING your favorite cuppa and gather with us for a great conversation on Saturday!! We can’t wait to see you. Join us on Zoom at 11am EST on December 20th https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84820870165
Portland Head Light through the sumac, September 2025, by Jennifer Donaldson
My friends, how are you doing? Many Light-workers and Love-holders report being particularly exhausted lately. Sensitivity to the world’s pain can drain our energy very quickly. Compassion for all that the planet is going through can stretch our spirits very thin.
Here is a way to refresh your weary heart: by taking a break rather than doing more, with easing up rather than trying so hard, with choosing peace rather than focusing more on the chaos, with a daily hour outdoors soaking up the color, the beauty, the inspiring design of our natural world.
I love to walk in a nearby park along the rocky edge of the ocean, breathing in the dee deep blue of the ocean, and the refreshing oxygen and presence of the trees. Then I find a bench and sit for a while with what is strong, enduring and grounding, the cliffs crowned by this beautiful Lighthouse.
Where are those special places in your part of the world? How can you take loving care of yourself in the midst of change? How can you rise through exhaustion to holding the excitement about the beautiful life in 5-D that is now open for everyone?
Our Lighthouse team has been sharing thoughts about this in preparation for our monthly SPIRIT CAFE coming up this Saturday- the 20th.
SPIRIT CAFE will be open again for an hour of conversation and a short meditation or channeling, on Saturday September 20th at 11 am EDT (Eastern USA.) Come for community, insight and more fascinating conversation about All Things Spiritual.
This month our team – all of us areCouncil of Loveteachers & coaches – will open a discussion on-line on the topic of Lightworker exhaustion vs optimism. Why are many feeling disheartened while others feel stronger than ever, full of hope and energy…. What is going on?
Linda Dillon, our mentor and founder of the Council of Love, with our angels & ascended masters, are constantly expanding our understanding through strategic, informative classes and seasonal events. Because of this great resource, many of us have bonded into a strong & supportive community, filled with hope for Nova Gaia.
Spirit Cafe is inspired by the Council of Love. Please join us this month! We’d love to see you. Everyone is most welcome.
Dear Friends ~ The Lighthouse team want to announce that our popular and beloved monthly hour of SPIRIT CAFE is moving from the second Saturday each month to the THIRD SATURDAY from now on….
So that means, our next CAFE will be on August 16th! Always at 11 Eastern (New York) time, we have recently ADDED an extra 15 minutes to our hour, for anyone who wants to stay for a channeled message from one of our favorite Ascended Masters or a guided healing meditation using the COL (Council of Love) tools we have learned to disperse negativity and amplify Love.
Sue, our Host, is very welcoming and keeps an eye on the time and encourages plenty of participation, and Martin leads the guided meditations. Jen and Rob and Roxanne are all ready to offer a channeling to lift the topic to a higher level.
We are always happy to see you, and if you have never come, please join us, you are always welcome!! In our two years on Zoom we have covered many fascinating spiritual topics and shared valuable insights from all of our diverse perspectives as spiritual beings living human lives on the ascending Planet Earth at this amazing time.
