Rob: Welcome Lao Tzu. My question is, how do we reconcile this idea of not getting wrapped up in external events, almost to the point of not caring. But it’s not really not caring. Of course we care. So how do we care without caring?
Lao Tzu: Greetings, all. It is my honor to be with you today, in this setting, within your circle, as you contemplate the deeper experiences of life, the meaning behind all that you experience. These are questions that everyone must grapple with at some point in their journey. So of course, all of us are so proud of the progress you are all making.
It is an interesting question, is it not? How do you go through life, filled with compassion for others, while at the same time recognizing it’s not your role to be involved in all that others are experiencing for themselves. And I would suggest to you that it is, in fact, an act of very deep caring [and] compassion to allow others to experience what they came to experience.
It may not be your path. You may look upon the events as something you would never choose for ANY society that would experience love and ask yourself, “Why would you do that?! How does that make the world a better place?”
But it is all for a purpose, so your act of compassion is to allow others to experience what they came to experience. Let them choose for themselves. If you go through life trying to control how others behave, how others think, what others believe, where is the caring in that? That would be you trying to impose your will on another. That’s not exhibiting a care for them. That’s, again, you trying to exert your control based on YOUR beliefs, based on your understanding within your own journey. They have theirs; you have yours, so allow them to be.
As your teammate said, let it be, not in an uncaring way, but with the mindset that you care enough for them to let them be who they are. Approach all events that occur to you in your life from that perspective. THAT is the loving response.
The only force in the universe that truly matters is love. Ask yourself every day, what is the loving response to anything that you see? If it does not feel like love, whatever it is that you witness, and you say to yourself, “I don’t see the love in that,” then choose, choose that that is NOT the way that you want to go.
And as you constantly come back, within your own heart, to that feeling of love for ALL that you see, exhibiting that caring enough to allow it to unfold as it must, then you will find that all that you see will change. It will morph. It will transition … perhaps slower than you would desire, but again, let it be. Let it proceed at the pace that it needs to proceed to bring as many along as the Divine Plan calls for.
Rob: All right, Yeshua, so how do we let go of whatever from the past that we were holding on to, if it doesn’t carry forward into the new? I think we find ourselves in positions of having to let go of things that we perhaps didn’t know we needed to, so how do we do that? How do we carry on with life, not knowing what to expect next?
Yeshua: Hello again, Rob. It is always a pleasure to come visit with you in this way, or in any way you choose, for that matter. As you know so well, we are always here for you.
So whether you understand it completely or not, I think you’ve stated the answer to your own question. You’re asking, how do you proceed in life, not knowing what you necessarily need to let go of. The first point is you recognize completely that not everything in your life up to this point is important to carry on into what comes next.
So in that regard, half the battle is won. You recognize that there are things that you are going to leave behind, but this should not be viewed with any sense of sadness, of depression, of melancholy. These are things that are simply not needed anymore.
Yes, they might have held some sentimental value, if I could use that word, something that you thought was important in the past and even in the recent past. But if it’s no longer necessary, then why would you choose to carry it forward?
So you had stated you’re not sure of what to let go. Well, that’s just it. As it becomes clear to you that this is no longer necessary, that it no longer serves the purpose that you thought it once held, then simply let it go you.
You have this vision, Rob, of carrying around a heavy suitcase, a bag filled with contents that you don’t need for the trip you are taking. Why are you carrying it? Set it down. Just let it go.
It should not carry sadness with it. If you don’t need it, then why would you be sad about leaving it behind? It just is what it is. It’s something that is no longer needed.
That’s not to say others don’t need it, whatever that object or belief might be. But for you, for where you are at this moment, simply ask yourself, “Is this necessary? Why am I holding on to it? What is my belief behind this that makes me think that I should be carrying this. Is it a belief in how others should act?”
You are coming to the realization each and every day, Rob, that any expectations you have about how others should act is not altogether a fruitful exercise. You very often find that they don’t meet your expectations, but they’re exactly that: YOUR expectations. And it has very little to do with the other person or persons.
This is part two of the Solstice 2025 Channeling that I offered locally in Portland, Maine. Jeshua (pronounced Yeshua) was taking questions but at first people were feeling shy…so he goes on to share some wonderful things. Enjoy! Love, Jennifer
Jeshua: Who else has a question? Take your time…
This one [Jennifer] used to have the experience of feeling rather stunned when speaking with me, the words would not come, as far as asking. A question that might have been bothering you for a long time, still would become eclipsed somehow by the projected brilliance of speaking with one who you have all looked up to.
I want you to know I am your friend. I am your brother. I want to be known to you as I know you. I want you to be comfortable with me. Think of me in blue jeans with a plaid shirt. You can cut my hair. I do not need long hair or a long beard. You can play with your image of me until you are comfortable.
Yes, I did have a very special life in this world. I brought my whole heart. I brought all of my wisdom and all, all I understood about being divine. But you are each divine. You have just misplaced the memories when you came into this earthly adventure.
Think of it as an adventure game. You organize yourself as to what type of adventure game you want, and you make agreements with those in your families and those of your friends so that you will play together, you see, and then you all walk through the chamber of forgetfulness. This is a little bit like a reverse car wash. Instead of the light sprinkling down beautifully upon you, it is being sucked up into the ceiling, and you walk out going, “Who am I? What is this?” And all you have is your physical body, your five senses, and some imagination, but you have a lot of forgetting.
Your youngest children remember the most, and you adults will spend lifetimes and lifetimes studying to try to remember the rest. And your children are educated out of what they know pretty quickly, within six or so years, often, unless they are lucky enough to be within a family where there is no fun made of their insistence that they have an imaginary friend, that someone was speaking with them in their bedroom this morning, they will tell you their dreams. They will tell you their reality without limitation, because they remember. They know that they aren’t limited.
Yes, they’re aware they have bodies. This is why babies cry so much. They’re like, “Oh no, oh no, what did I decide to do? This is going to be too hard a game, and I don’t know if I can play it!” It is very much of a shock for the little ones that come in, very much so. And some of them exit, some of them decide, “I think this is more than I want right now.” Bless them.
But the ones who persist, they bring you such blessings, and they bring you a more conscious –they will not explain it to you the way I am explaining it to you, but — they bring with them more consciousness of what it is to be in a state of freedom, in a state of love, in a state of Joy. Yes, their spontaneity is wonderful. Their laughter is pure. Yes.
What more again would you like to talk about today? You do not have to ask me a question. Just tell me a topic.
#2: I have a question.
Jeshua/Yeshua: Yes, go ahead.
#2: Do you have any plans on coming back to Earth in the flesh?
Jeshua/Yeshua: Not at this time. When you have ascended fully into the higher dimensions, I will be present with you, and you will see me, and you will have a way to know me, a form that you will recognize. I may not be wearing white robes anymore – I might want to wear my cowboy boots. (laughs)
At this time, my energies are focused entirely on raising each one of you. You are my brothers and sisters. You are my siblings. We are all children of God. I am focused now on reminding you of your own unlimitedness.
I am very interested in the different channels that I am able to work with, and that is not to say that I am not also working with those who do not have access to a channel, nor do they have an interest in this sort of experience. They have been taught that it is not the thing to do, and they have not really thought about rebelling against that thought. So that is fine. That does not mean that I cannot reach them.
Even in your churches, in your religions, I am present. When there is great love for me, I am there. I have never abandoned you. Oh, I do not agree with everything your ministers and priests say about me. And of course, the story, the original story has been misconstrued, has been garbled, has been distorted for the purposes of the church. But you see, the church was begun in great sincerity and with a great desire to honor the one, myself, who was an eye opener of that generation, one who opened hearts as well as perception, as well as understanding, as well as opportunity.
Yes, I am so glad I was able to live the life that I lived, and many honored me by continuing to meet in my name. The early churches were close to what we experienced together in circles and in groups, some of them large, but not many. I’m still able to work with those whose hearts are activated. Those who have closed their minds and are basically counting their money while they sit in the pew, they will have a later opportunity to awaken. [LOL] Thank you for your laughter!
You none of you will be forgotten, none of you will be abandoned, none of you will be left behind. You will each find your opportunities to remember that you are divine children of the One, the One Being Mother/Father/God, the United Divine Masculine/Divine Feminine aspects of creation in Unity. There is no gender discrimination in those levels. Of course, there is a beautiful equality.
I come to speak with you because it is my birthday being celebrated, but we are happy that Mary Magdalen and I are inseparable, quite literally, although we do enjoy coming forward individually, this is possible too, but not separate. Everything I say is birthed in our hearts together. Our hearts are fused into one. Everything that comes forward from Jennifer through me, Yeshua, comes through our joined hearts. Mary, my Mother, is very present as well, as is my father, Joseph, who some of you know as the Archangel Jofiel, who incarnated to provide the extra support.
TO BE CONTINUED …
Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, Dec. 21, 2025, in Portland, Maine, USA
[I recently read a channeling of the Arcturian Group by Marilyn Raffaele in which they talked about a recurring habit of attempting to exert control — it really smacked me in the face, so my teammates and I talked about it, at which point I decided to ask Archangel Uriel about it. — Rob]
Rob: Uriel, maybe you could give us some thoughts, in order to proceed on our ascension journey, on what is the role of releasing all sense of control, whether we need to release it and how we do that? The Arcturian Group message clearly resonated with me, so there’s something there for me, I know. So do you have anything to share in that regard?
AA Uriel: Greetings, Rob. Greetings, all. This is Uriel, as you’ve requested. And you honor me with your request, and I thank you for that.
You’ve been mulling over this question in your mind for a couple of days now, and I commend you for the honesty that you are showing within yourself to look at yourself critically, your own behaviors, your own thoughts, your own beliefs. But what does it mean to control?
It is true that the ultimate entry way, doorway to the next levels within ascension, within the ascension process, all comes down to how well you can express unconditional love, first and foremost, to yourself, for yourself. And that, of course, is reflected by your feelings about all others [and] all that you see, for all that you see is merely a reflection of what is inside of you.
It is a construct that you have put there to show you what is going on with inside of you, experiences that you choose to have in order to eliminate one part of your belief system or another, so that you may examine that and decide what is it that I want from this point. Do I believe in my belief system? Is that correct? Is that the way I want to be in the future?
All experiences enable you to see what lives within you, and you know what lives within you based on your emotional reaction to whatever it is that you’re witnessing.
The idea that was introduced to you about releasing all sense of control is exactly correct, for any time you are attempting to exert control over others means you are trying to control some aspect of your own belief system, based on what you currently believe. This, of course, builds barriers to your advancement.
So showing a lack of the need to control and surrendering completely to what is is, in fact, an act of unconditional love. Think about that word for a moment, “unconditional” love. Are you placing conditions on how you feel about another, how you feel about yourself?
God does not place such conditions on his love for you, you being part of that Godhead. So, in like fashion, you are being asked to examine your own sense of love for all others. Are you expressing that unconditionally, that no matter what another does, says, believes, that you love them nonetheless for who they are, that is part and parcel of God, of the Divine, of you.
So, yes, releasing all sense of control is the gateway to moving forward. And anytime you find yourself wishing to exert some sense of control, which most often appears as you setting an expectation about how others or how yourself should act in any given situation, that is your indicator. Are you able to love yourself, to love all others, to love all that you see without those expectations and to just allow them to be as they are, wherever they are on their journey, wherever you are on your journey? Can you love yourself enough to just let it be?
Note: Happy New Year everyone! I had the great pleasure and awe to host Yeshua/Jeshua for a public channleing session on the Solstice in December, my first such event. There was a lovely small group present and they asked great questions. I will be posting the transcript of this session in several installments. This one is Yeshua’s opening message and the first question about whether the Solstice was celebrated in his time, roughly 2,000 years ago. Love, Jennifer
Solstice Channeling, at Working Well, So Po, Maine, Dec. 21st, 2025
Jennifer Donaldson: Welcome, everyone….
Divine Mother, Divine Father. Thank you for this circle of wise souls, loving souls, those who have gathered together today to share, to learn and to talk with Yeshua. We invite Jeshua to come and speak with us…
Jeshua/Yeshua: Yes, it is my great delight, my great honor to come forward tonight to each of you, individually and together. It is an occasion, is it not? We have the candlelight, the boughs, the beeswax, yes, tea and cider, spices in the cookies. Yes, it is a lovely celebration of the longest night of the year.
And many walk through this time of year with a great heaviness in their hearts. This is true. And so we bring light, we bring gladness, we come together. We reach our hands out to one another. We share. We share gratefully. We share our learning hearts, our growing hearts, our curiosity.
I am most interested to see how you are doing, each one of you, how you are representing yourself, how you are carrying your energies. It is a very busy, hectic time in your world. And I am very sad to say this is because of my birthday.
I would not wish any greater burden on any of you for any reason, so we are as active as possible to lighten your loads. Yes, we are as active as possible, to hold your hands, wipe your tears, embracing you. We work through your friends and family. We often impulse the energy to offer greater comfort at this time. This is the reason for the parties. This is the reason for the traditions of coming together.
This is very helpful. And yet, you do live in a nation where there is a maximum amount of freedom offered to each generation, and this has been taken to extremes, to enable an exploration of what it is like to live in a family or a society with more space between you. And, yes, this can be very difficult.
This one, Jennifer, becomes sad in the beginning of December every year if she’s not going to see her son. This is an annual pilgrimage of the heart through the sadness, and over the years, you learn to accommodate to it, but our hearts are with you, and you will find ways to reach out and be as one.
It is truly a matter of time and space illusion in your worlds. It may perhaps be helpful to realize that what you see in front of you you have created — is this not so, Kate? We did learn together (in a previous class] to say, “I created this. I created this.” If you can begin to understand that you have given yourself these learning opportunities, the different ones that come your way. There can be the grief of someone who is not separated from their family but their family is so difficult, or there is the grief for one has passed, whom one loves andno longer sees.
Usually at your holiday time, you begin a new year, a new experience for you to realize these are gifts you have given yourself, and just be gentle. Just be gentle with the feelings that arise. Bring that love to yourself and realize “This is my expansion. This is the way I am going to grow now. I have this new experience, [e.g.] my mother is not here.” But she is in spirit. She is free. She can visit you whenever she likes. And if you invite her to be present, she will come.
You can also specifically ask your long-distance children – some of you have this situation – ask them to visit you, higher self to higher self, in your dreams, and you will have a wonderful sense of reunion, you will wake up feeling some ease in your hearts.
Yes, and there are those who gather together with other single people. Of course, we are most honoring of those who have chosen a path of service, a path of focus, a path of devotion, each of them a different scenario, a different flavor, a different set of learnings, but one in which you are learning to be alone, which is the next step to becoming all-one. You see?
There are those who are highly embedded in their families and do not learn to be alone, because once you know that you yourself are the candle, you are the Source, you carry the light within you. You carry the love within you. You are made of love. You could not be made of anything else. There really is nothing else that can create life. And once you are in your physical representation, you carry the light within your hearts, within your love, and it shines. This is not just a metaphor. This is real.
Do you watch your cat sometimes looking at you like, “Ooh”? They are noticing your aura, the different levels of your energetic being. They see you light up. This one, Jennifer’s cat, when she sees that Jennifer is rather sad, this cat actually gives her a little time and a little space, which is the cat’s wisdom-way of saying, “I trust you, you will be fine, I see.”
But if, on the other hand, you have dog friends and they see you sad, they are the most gracious companions. Is that not true? Yes. But you see, the animals are here for love. They’re teaching you love. They are embodying love in ways beyond what you have known so far. And when you think about 50 years ago – or maybe you are not anywhere near that age – the animals were much more independent and less interested in being with the humans. They are very devoted to your welfare now, and very much a part of your families in a new way.
Everything is evolving. Each one of you so much, since your childhoods, have grown so much, and you will continue to grow. In the future that is becoming present, on the edges of your present, each day is lighter, more unified, more hopeful, more creative.
There will be those who mourn [the old ways]. There will be those who drag their heels, but if you are looking for the light in one another, you are honoring the love and light in one another, you will draw to you more who will give you some support with this and begin to share with you their vision, their optimism, their knowing of this great procession into a higher vibration.
The entire body of Gaia is moving every day into a higher and higher vibration. She is settling in quite well. But you will notice the storms, or you will notice the times when there is a release of energy, which needed to be released, needed to be eased within the body of Gaia.
Gaia is the Divine Mother Incarnate. Now, she did not go through the forgetting that humans do. She is aware of her divinity. And Divine Mother still exists apart from Gaia, from physical nature. So these are great mysteries, but you will learn.
Gaia is growing and Gaia is vibrating faster and faster. This is at times uncomfortable. This is at times confusing. You have heard of Ascension? You have heard of ascension symptoms? You will get tummy aches, or you will get headaches. You will get emotional experiences. “Where did that come from?” And it just arises, and then it goes.
So Gaia, too, has her emotional outbursts. She is healing the parts of her body that have been damaged. Yes, she’s not going to shake off all her parking lots in one day, but little by little, she will reduce that which is excessive and return it to its elements. It will take some time, and you may help her, if you like.
We would like to pause for a moment, having touched on a circle of points of entry, points of interest that may come forward from each of you. We have time to discuss questions which you yourselves have about your experience now. So who would like to begin?… [quiet] I am quite friendly, you know.
#1. I’ll ask a question. Did you practice the Solstice during your time?
Good morning, Sun. I see you. I see you. I feel seen. What a miracle of life we are, in this moment!
Jeshua/Yeshua: Yes, indeed, only we were not in the more northerly or Celtic lands, which is the source of your evergreen boughs and this sort of thing. But yes, when there was the festival in the wintertime, when the days would proceed through [their darkening…] You see, our lands were closer to the Equator, and there was less of a contrast, as you have from the northern lands or further to the south, of course. So the lands farthest from the equator had such contrast and such long nights. Think of the Scandinavians, and their very short, three or four hours of daylight each day, and what a very long winter. These [solstice customs] are for them, you see.
For us, we were aware of this because we had the knowledge of our astrologers, and they followed the patterns of the year, and they knew, they knew of these rotations. So yes, we did, and our understanding and appreciation of the Sun was an annual ritual. It is embedded in the Egyptian rituals, the Egyptian ways and the ways of the Essenes, the Essenes as being the community in which I myself was raised.
The Essenes have great reverence for the Earth as a holy, living being. And they are well aware of the godhood of the Earth herself, the Great Mother, you see, and when I myself had the need to become closer to the Great Mother, that is when I took myself off into the desert by myself so that I could lie upon the ground and re-ignite, refresh my soul, and be taught by the Mother and hear my own Spirit clearly.
If you go by yourself for a walk in the woods, it is delightful, but it is more than that. Don’t you feel when you come back, renewed? Yes, and if you go with others, it is lovely. You all benefit from this. But if you are by yourself – again, the alone – and take time for this, this is very valuable. You will hear your own spirit more strongly. And you will hear the spirits of the plants and the trees and the birds and animals, yes, and you will hear your heart. You will, you can, bring all of your sorrows to Mother Earth, and she will ease them. For you, it’s a very practical path.
Yes, but notice whether you pay attention to the sun, whether you greet it in the morning when you arise. Do you take time to say, “Good morning, Sun. I see you. I see you. I feel seen. What a miracle of life we are in this moment”? If you take time to acknowledge the sun and to spend a few moments with it when it rises – not during the middle of the day, because you do have your ozone holes – but early in the morning, and as the sun sets, you can look directly into its rays with no harm. And you will see the blessings being offered to you. You will see the radiation of love.
Light, Love, these are the same. Light is more often interpreted mentally. Love is more often interpreted with the emotional body. But do you not feel something sacred when you see your sunrise, your sunset? Yes, so we did indeed honor the wheel of life in this way, the passages of the sun.”
To Be Continued…
Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, December 21st, 2025, South Portland, Maine, USA
[There seems to be a growing expectation that the governments around the world will disclose in 2026 that the extraterrestrial presence on Earth is, in fact, real. We’ll see. Given that possibility, I channeled Ashira of the starship Neptune, asking when. At the end of our conversation, he suggested that we ask to see them when looking at the night sky — I did just that on New Year’s Eve, and was rewarded with a sighting of a very fast moving, non-blinking light that was clearly not an aircraft! 😃 — Rob]
Rob: I’m asking to speak to Ashira of Neptune, so of course, whenever I talk to him, I see myself on board ship — a very, very large ship — but usually in a hallway somewhere between the main bridge and the galley, with big windows on the side, overlooking Earth.
So welcome, Ashira. Thank you for joining me again. I was wondering, how are we doing on the disclosure front? Any news to share about when that might happen? That is, disclosure of when it becomes general, public knowledge about our Star Family legacy and history and heritage.
Ashira: Welcome, Rob. Welcome, all. Once again, welcome aboard ship. We haven’t spoken for quite some time, so I appreciate the opportunity, appreciate you reaching out.
[Regarding] your question about disclosure, this is of growing interest to many, many people within the human population. And I think you’re already aware that the disclosure, as you call it, is not a singular event. It is a process, a process which has already begun. In fact, it could easily be argued that this is a process that has been decades in the making, ever since events in your 1940s.
This has been the plan to be more forthcoming, to make that transition, so that humanity is aware of who we are, and therefore who you are, for we are connected. You refer to us as your star family. This is intentional. This is an indicator that we are, in fact, a family, that many of you have originated, the human species has been affected, has been developed by many, many advanced civilizations, as you would call us.
We have been here for a very long time. This has been depicted in your art for a very long time — hundreds, if not thousands, of years. So yes, there has been a program of denying our existence, of conditioning people to think that anything to do with extraterrestrial races is all to be debunked, to be scoffed at, to label those who think this way as conspiracy theorists or in some way mentally deficient.
But at the same time, if you think about it, you have been conditioned for a very long time to accept that there is, in fact, a galactic community that is waiting to welcome you in community. Your television program, Star Trek, was just such a means of disclosure, a means of conditioning people to be more accepting of the possibility. And this, of course, has continued through your movies, the Star Wars series, and far more recently, many other, many other movies.
Your cinema is a way of planting the seed into the minds of those who are watching of what the possibilities may be. It is all presented as fiction, but underneath it all, it is all meant to get you used to the idea of the possibility that you could interact with beings who looked very different than you — humanoid, perhaps, i.e. two arms, two legs, one or more heads — that you can walk around and interact with, communicate with.
This is indeed the case, but again, all of those are third dimensional representations of something that goes much deeper than that. It is true that the vast majority of your star family exists in a higher dimensional space, therefore, physical form is not much of an interest. That is simply a way we choose to be represented, based on our heritage and our origin.
But most of the communication is done at a telepathic level, connecting heart-to-heart, mind-to-mind, and the existence is really at an energetic level. So physical representation is not that important. It is simply how we choose to represent ourselves to you in a way that is more accepting to you.
[This is the Q&A portion of the channeling session with Yeshua that I posted last time. The first part was channeled by me with our teammate Jo Ann asking the questions, and the second part was channeled by Jo Ann with Rachel asking the questions. I find this to be very helpful, practical guidance. I think you will agree. — Rob]
Part 1: (channeled by Rob)
Jo Ann: May we ask a question, Yeshi?
Yeshua: Certainly.
Jo Ann: Okay. So in terms of goal setting, [using the] creation formula, and so on, if I am understanding you correctly now and also based on the other materials we’ve studied, if we have a creation [project] that we wish to create, do we spend time envisioning what it will feel like, what it will look like, what it will mainly feel like, I guess, when it’s accomplished, and [then] create an action plan. But then, go into a meditation state, go into a listening state, for guidance on the next steps.
I’m trying to make sure I understand the relationship, or the sequence, or the process for creation, which is visioning in the future, and visioning action steps to accomplish that, and then listening for guidance on what those action steps should be and what the next process should be.
Yeshua: This is exactly so. Again, there is nothing wrong with — and, in fact, we encourage you all — to envision what it is that you desire. And all the experiences in your life have brought you to the point of being able to discern better what it is that you want and what it is that you do not want, so that you may envision better that future state. Feel it. Allow that emotion to come, that feeling of gratitude, thankfulness, joy for that state.
But as you just said, entering into that state of complete presence opens you to receiving the guidance on what is the best way to get to that state. So very often, when you are creating your action plan, if the actions that you are choosing to take are not in complete alignment with getting you to that point, then you are in some way inhibiting your own progress towards that goal.
I would suggest, first, you enter into the state of complete presence within your own heart, completely centered to just be. Allow and let the guidance on what actions to take to come to you while in that state of complete receptivity. Be patient. Allow it to unfold, and it surely will.
Does this answer your question?
Jo Ann: Yes, and it also brings up another question … or maybe a statement of understanding. I read often that before you go to bed, if you will write the question that you want an answer to, and then sleep and, in the morning, just go into a meditative state, the answer will often come. That is, I think, some of what we’re saying here, also.
Yeshua: It is. So often, in that sleep state, or more appropriately, in that half-sleep state, you are already naturally in that state of centeredness, of being present. You are not yet encumbered by the thoughts of the day. This is when you are completely in a state of receptivity. This is why the suggestions are to do exactly as you suggested, at that time of day. But that does not mean you cannot enter into that state consciously at any point during the day. Yes, it will require practice.
[My teammates and I had a great conversation with Yeshua on the challenges of staying present. This is his opening guidance — subsequent postings will be on the Q&A that followed. — Rob]
Rob: I guess I’ll go to the usual place that I meet Yeshua, sitting atop my pyramid, outside the temple.
Okay, so Yeshi, you’ve heard the conversation about being present. What I’m wondering is just … well, I’m not sure what I’m wondering. Just any guidance you have about how to stay in a state of presence.
Well, he seems like he’s in a really good mood. Big smile, very happy.
Yeshua: Hello, Rob, Hello all. Yes, I am very much enjoying your conversation. It does make me happy. This is a point to which all must arrive. This makes me happy, because it means you are really, at this point, getting in touch with figuring out who you are. It all starts with being present.
It seems such a simple thing to say, and perhaps people use it a bit too cavalierly — is that the right word? But it is such a deep concept, really, and it is the core of all other spiritual practices, for you can’t really engage in any of those practices without being present.
And being present means being in your heart. You could treat those two expressions as one in the same. And the same goes for when you say that you are being grounded, that you are staying centered; it is all the same.
You can’t be in your heart without being in a state of presence, presence of who you are. It’s the point of coming to that awareness of who you are, truly are. None of this superficial personality, the trappings of your current life, but getting in touch with who you are underneath all of that … or over and above all of that.
You were driving the other day, as you were just explaining, and you started thinking about, what does it mean to be present. Not being in the past, not being in the future, what does that mean? As you said, it is observing your thoughts. If you are thinking about some event that has already happened, then you’re not fully present. You are occupying your time in the past. If you are worried, about something coming up, have some sense of fear, no matter how small, then you’re living in the future.
Think about that a moment. Having any form of fear means you are afraid of what might happen, which means you are not in the present. You are occupying your time thinking about the future. The future has not happened. You have not made the choices yet to get you to that point, so why are you spending your time, occupying your mind, worrying about what will happen in the future?
So observe your thoughts. If you’re not in the past, and you’re not in the future, then by definition, you are in the present. THEN, you can FEEL within yourself who you really are, completely unencumbered by any of those other thoughts that are actually serving very little purpose.
Think about for a moment what that would mean, how freeing that state is, completely unencumbered by the emotions of what you think should have happened in the past or what might happen in the future. You are completely free at that point. This is the state that humans were meant to live in. That’s what it means to be free, truly free!
Rob: I drew a Tarot card, the Seven of Cups, and took that to mean this is a time of choosing. Serapis Bey came to me, but I haven’t talked to him in a really long time. I don’t know what he’s got to do with this, but I guess it doesn’t really matter.
I’m seeing an image of him looking like Merlin from the movie Excalibur, holding the staff with the crystal on the top of it, shining a light right at me.
Welcome, Serapis Bey. Any guidance you have about the card I drew, this being a time of choosing, perhaps?
Serapis Bey: Greetings, Rob. And hello to all. Yeah, I just thought it would be fun to have a bit of a theatrical entrance! 🙂
So you drew the card asking, “What should we talk about today?” And the card, the Seven of Cups, is indeed an indicator that this is a time of choosing. At this point in your ascension journey, revelations are coming pretty quickly now, perhaps even on a daily basis. There will be something new — some shocking, some well known to you — but all of it is an indicator or causing you to question what will happen. How will this come to light? What effect will it have within your life and the lives of those you hold dear?
And of course, whatever happens next is your choice, so, indeed, it is a time of choosing. Choose what path you want to be on. Do you want to go down the path of reacting to every bit of news that comes out, even that which is half-baked? You understand the wisdom of not reacting, of waiting, for rarely is the news accurate upon first reporting.
Let it go. Breathe into your own knowing, your own discernment.
What is it that you want in your life? You are contemplating and working on new spiritual abilities. Focus on that. How will that help you discern the truth. You have said for a long time, your desire, your desire for the future, is that no matter what happens, that it be grounded in truth, that everyone understand the truth of why you are here, the truth of who you are, [and] why all of this was necessary. All world events are necessary. It’s all to bring you to this understanding.
And your spiritual abilities (and more will come) are all meant to cast light on, to illuminate, yet more truth, again, that is all centered on the truth of who you are, what is important in life, what your place is in being here, the reason, the purpose, your mission. Just allow it to unfold.
Yes, there are many possibilities, as the card shows, of what path you could take. And after dreaming of the possibilities, you choose that path by what actions you take. For you, if it is to focus immediately on developing new spiritual abilities, which is nothing more than getting in touch with the abilities that you already have, it’s just reminding yourself of what you are capable of.
So for now, ignore what is happening in the outside world. Focus inwardly. Go within. Spend time there, more and more time. Sometimes you feel as though you’re not motivated to even try; that’s okay, too. Rest is good.
Out There Somewhere… Photo by Andre Furtado on Pexels.com
Personal story: Lately our channeling group has been interested in exploring our connections to our star families and other civilizations “out there somewhere…” I once had a beautiful experience through a guided journey with Shikiah, when I met Lord Arcturus and established that I actually have an Arcturian part of me… I’ve never forgotten that meditation, and am still grateful to Shikiah.
At the same time I was deeply immersed in an apprenticeship with Jeshua through another channel (the late, incomparable Lesley Michaels). In one of my sessions I had a chance to confirm that I’d actually met with Lord Arcturus “Indeed you know him well.” (!) Then I asked if what we sense with our imagination in such a journey can be real. He answered “Completely real.” That adjusted my openness to subsequent intuitive experience. We just need to trust our hearts. We can sense Truth. Just last week I felt the desire to see if I could channel Lord Arcturus, now that I can channel directly. Thanks to my teammates, Rob Loveland and Rachel O’Gara, here’s the result. Love, Jennifer
Jennifer channeling Lord Arcturus, 1st time, Dec. 5th, 2025
Jen: All right, everybody. I’ll go into the channeling space and [please] support this, it’s out of my ordinary sphere.
So I’m going to ask my higher self, my whole self, to liaise with Lord Arcturus, or one of the others. We are friends already with Grener and Ashira, but I am curious about the presence of Arcturians, specifically, on the planet, and what they’re involved in and how they’re helping us.
So I felt a flash of purple, and then this kind of beautiful white horizon threaded through it. Lord Arcturus is a lot like Sanat Kumara. He is tall, very tall, and blue, a light blue, skin, not a dark blue. He says, This is why I like that color so much. He has a long robe and a very high collar going up like this around his neck. So Lord Arcturus, would you like to channel with our group today, speak with us and bring us some insights into the Arcturian presence with Earth in her ascension and our ascension as humanity.
Lord Arcturus: Indeed, I am most comfortable to do so. Greetings all. I am most interested in your devices, which allow you to see each other from your small boxes and to converse and indeed to exchange energy. You have all become very adept at being fully present within this mechanism. And I commend you on your learning to channel! You have certainly dedicated yourselves to a very high purpose, and this high purpose is one we share with you.
I am wanting to illuminate for you and for Jennifer — her curiosity is blossoming in this area — Illuminate for you the ways in which we are present with you. We are present more often telepathically than physically, but some of us do indeed transmit our energy to your planetary surface and take on a physical representation.
It is correct that we alter our physical representation to blend in, when we are in the physical. We would most dearly enjoy to appear in our natural state with you. But again, these would be small meetings of people who had become prepared in some way or who had specifically requested and the ability was already developed for the energy to match our energy. Now, of course, we are multi- dimensional also, and can lower our energy, for a particular circumstance, or help you rise to a higher energy by adding our energies together and basically dialing it up.
We are able to gather with people who are interested. Now, there are those on your planet who are consciously interested and who have made a choice out loud, so to speak, not always [literally] out loud, but a conscious choice, to meet with us, talk with us, and work with us. But for many of you, this is on a soul level. This is a choice you have made on a soul level, and you are meeting with us, spending time with us, and working with us in your dream time or unconsciously through meetings that you may have with other Arcturians now in your group.
If you are feeling that you particularly have an alliance with us, a history with us, a relationship with us, it is because you too have spent considerable time or had deep experiences and thorough experience with our civilization, our way of life, our way of being. We are not unfamiliar to you. It is just that many of you have not asked to specifically relate to us. You may enjoy some channelings from Arcturians, or you may have some curiosity, if you come across a reference in something written or seen on your television or your different devices.
We are indeed involved in the ascension process with you. We are supporting it on every level. We are whispering peace in your ears. We are supporting your choices to create a benign environment, one of great beauty and thriving for all, one which operates on a level in which there is no harm; there is no judgment; there is no competition.
You yourselves find great delight when you are involved in a co-creation project with friends and others, where you can feel the synthesis of your thoughts and your purpose creating, resulting, in something that gives you all a great deal of joy. This is very much a hallmark of our way of life.
On Arcturus, we are highly imaginative people, and we love to play individually and collectively. Individually, because it gives us a greater rein to spiral in our own energy, in a wondrous way. It is as though we all went to the beach and we all began to draw in the sand, each of us has our own visions, our own way to play with the material at hand. So it is fun to create individually.
It is also our great joy to combine together and to create in this way. So whether it is creating new modes of cooperation on your planet, whether it is helping to create a deeper sense of trust in the Star Families, as you call them, whether it is reflecting back to you your own curiosity and your own desire to evolve, we assist those who are involved in the arts, the creative arts, whether they are making the music or the art or the furniture for the next millennium.
You are beginning to conceive of a great many things which will bring your world forward. And many of us who are volunteering, and there are many, are each attaching to the particular type of interest that they have. So there are those working with diplomacy amongst the multi-nation configurations, the various cooperations among nations, various formations of different kinds, which have been collectively created to bring forward new answers and a deeper trust and sense of satisfaction and indeed affection for one another. So that your populations are crossing international lines much more often and beginning to see themselves as world citizens.
This also reflects our population. We have personal preferences for places that we enjoy settling and being on Arcturus, but we have very much a sense of global citizenship, global participation and membership in a whole. The whole idea of Whole is one which informs our society greatly. We are most interested in the Whole and yet we enjoy the small differences between us as to how each of us might make choices.
So we are what you would think of as an advanced civilization, very committed to answering your desire to continue to evolve consciously. As for being physically present with us, we are capable of formulating a physical form to be with you, but as I said, we are most often operating telepathically, where we will either work through a writer or a an artist or a channel, such as yourselves, to bring forward more information.
We feel that we have spoken enough as an initial introduction. If you would like to, at a later time, continue this, we would be happy to follow any direction of your own curious natures, to continue to illuminate what we can for you. Happy to be of service in this way.
Happy to see each of you again in your present physical form. It is a wonderful sight, and we feel your hearts. Thank you for inviting me today. Until the next time.
Jen: Thank you, Lord Arcturus! [To my team:] He felt really sweet.

Afterword: Synchronistically, our teammate Sue Scofield sent this article to me this morning, from Daniel Scranton, who channels the Arcturians often.
if you’re drawn also to Arcturian wisdom, another favorite channel of mine is Marilyn Raffaele, whose messages Oneness for All are found here. Have fun discovering All That YOU Are!! Bye for now….
