Divine Mother’s Guidance for 2023

[This channeling was from earlier this year, but it’s still valuable guidance for the current year. 😉 — Rob]

Rob: Mother, do you have a message for me today?

Divine Mother: Thank you,  my dear one, love of my heart. You are already feeling the changes that are coming, that have already started. And you are realizing with much more clarity what your role will be, and that is simply to be the love in all situations. You are not here to save anyone else. You are simply here to show others the way. Endeavor to be the love in all situations that arise.

We are so pleased with your progress! And yes, you may still have events that you believe are setbacks, but they are not. The events that happen in your life — all the events that happen in your life — are meant to show you what Love feels like, what love looks like. And sometimes the best way to show you that is to show you what it is not … and to demonstrate just how many opportunities there really are to show love at all points of time and all interactions. Set aside any feelings of failure. There is no such thing.

I love you to the end of the universe and back. As Gabrielle said recently, “I give you the Hug of the Ages,” so that you know I am always with you.

You have a feeling that I am somehow less approachable than all others in the Council of Love, but this is not true. All within the Council will tell you this, because it is true. I am as close as your breath. With every breath in, feel my love. With every breath out, share it with the world.

Keep it light! Keep it fun! And keep your sense of patience! All is unfolding in its own divine time, in my time, according to my plan. And while it may seem very fluid and changing all the time — and in many respects, it is — all is unfolding according to the plan, exactly as it should. Trust in that! Know that!

A Message from Quan Yin

Jennifer: Quan Yin  Channeled 10/11/22  

(To our channeling group and to all of us as wayshowers)

Greetings, beloved ones, I am Quan Yin. I’m excited to be with you in this way. It is a pleasure, it is a beautiful experience for our energy to conjoin through you and to have the opportunity to form words, to form the flow of the energies which will do many things ~ console and enlighten, reassure, bless and bring lightness, humor, bring explanations and various kinds of information. We delight in being present for you in this way. 

It is a great honor for us and I bow and touch your feet.  I thank you for the many ways in which you have opened yourselves to our energies, the many ways that you continue to dedicate your hearts. You are each of you a beautiful glass vase with a light streaming through full of the water of life. And each of you is a beautiful rose, a beautiful lotus a beautiful flower with your crystal pink. Holding open to the sun, the radiance of All That Is  ~you are beautiful children of Source and we delight in watching you. 

We have this day discussed much which is huge and could be felt as ominous, so I wish to bring to you a scaling down to a place where, yes, you know about that and you will be prepared. But you will not carry with you any sense of the ominous as you go forward. It will be as though you have wrapped it in cotton wool and put it into your knitting basket. So do not worry at this time of what is to come. Much channeling focuses on details of projection into the future. And you know that this is not always accurate and you know that many times people are embarrassed, in fact, by their pronouncements. So as a group you are wise to not attempt to or desire deeply to discuss what is coming but more to have within you the knowing of your deep preparation and your deep longing to be of service and your deep knowing that you have come to fulfill your purpose. 

It is so clear and each of you have many many, many, many cohorts on the earth at this time who will be supporting you. So again, be the cells of the body, alive and light and caring for yourselves and each other, encouraging and loving yourselves and each other, and then carry on. Carry on with this, because, as you know, it is the innocence. It is the innocence of the children and their deep knowing of truth and their deep knowing of connection, and their beings as love, that allows them to be shielded from the worst of the suffering that many do experience when there is any enormous event of any kind in their lives. So they have a natural buffer. So I’m speaking to you to carry your purity, your innocence, your openness ~ and know that this is your strength. This is your destiny. So thank you for receiving my transmission this day. I am delighted to be here. And I will be with you again. Farewell for now. 

She is handing each of us a rose. Thank you, that was pretty cool and special. Thank you.

Archangel Mikael on Living Truth

[The guidance from the Archangels regarding Truth continues … Rob]

AA Mikael: I am Mikael, with my Blue Sword and my Blue Shield, here to talk about living truth.

I know you’re not a particular fan of the imagery of the Blue Sword — it seems as an instrument of violence — but that’s not its purpose at all. It is to cut away whatever does not serve, to achieve the clarity on what is truth, to clear the way so that the path is clear. All that Yeshua has expressed is truth, and you are — all of you are — living that truth, understanding who you are and ultimately why you are here.

You are the instruments on planet of the Living God! You are part and parcel of the Godhead. Step into that. Be that! Know that! And when you do, the light from that source, which is within you always, will shine forth. It cannot do otherwise! And all others around you, animate and inanimate, will see that light, will feel that light, and know they are in the presence of the Divine.

Stop being afraid to allow your light to shine. As Yeshua said when he was on planet, do not hide your light under a bushel. Let it flow!

Archangel Jophiel on being a Guardian and Champion of Truth

[I channeled this while preparing for our recent webinar on Living Truth. It contains a message for all Lightworkers. — Rob]

Archangel Jophiel: I am Jophiel, the bringer of the future. There is so much angst in the world right now about what the future will bring. So much of it is unnecessary. The future will come exactly as it is meant to be.

Your role as the Guardians and Champions of Truth is to just BE. Be yourself. As Gabrielle has said previously, be that demonstration of Truth. If you do this, the future will take care of itself.

So much that you see is not of the Truth, but do not worry about it. Events are unfolding to encourage people to wake up to the truth that they are. That must first come by questioning what they see around them, which encourages them to go within and to seek answers from the only place that is meaningful. This is where they discover — or relearn — their spiritual selves. This is all they need. This is all anyone needs — the realization of who they are.

We are all One, and when people come to that understanding, conflict will disappear as people come to understand that holding any ill-will against another is really doing so to themselves. And as they understand the futility of that, then it will cease.

This is the hope of the future, and it WILL be. The Father and the Mother have willed it to be so, and it will be!

So go in peace with the understanding that all is well, because all is Love. You are deeply loved, and that will never change. Take care of yourselves. Farewell. 

We are One! … but what does that mean?!

By Rob Loveland

The Law of Unification/Unity speaks to achieving Unity Consciousness, because we have all heard that “We are One!” But, what does that mean?!  How can I be one with, i.e. the same as, someone who is engaged in acts which I find reprehensible … or everyday objects like that rock over there … or that tree?  For a long time, that concept was hard for me to wrap my head around!  

The Council of Love, channeled by Linda Dillon, explains that this Universal Law “illustrates that in the center, in balance, where all are loved equally — there is no hierarchy, control, oppression. There is brotherhood, sisterhood, heart connection, community, global family, peace, Love, joy, harmony, and Oneness with all that we see.”  But, again, how can I be a brother or have a heart connection with someone or something with which I feel no overt connection?

Regardless of my initial confusion, this idea kept presenting itself to me.  One of the most common examples, at least among yoga practitioners and lightworkers, is the Hindu greeting “Namaste.”  It literally means, “I humbly bow to you”, but it is understood as an acknowledgement of the equality of all, and pays honor to the oneness, and therefore sacredness, of all.  My favorite translation of this gets to the deeper, intended meaning, which is “I honor the place in you where we are one.

It’s clear that this idea of the oneness of all things has been around for a very long time, but it wasn’t an idea that naturally resonated with me.

So, what was it that convinced me of the truth that we are all one?  After years of spiritual study, I came upon a teaching that encapsulated the concept so completely, yet so simply, that I finally “got it.”  My Ah-ha moment came when I fully considered the very profound teaching from A Course in Miracles:

“Ideas of the spirit do not leave the mind that thinks them, nor can they conflict with each other.” [T-5.IV.3:5]

 This was reiterated later as:

“Ideas leave not their source, and their effects but seem to be apart from them.” [T-26.VII.4:7]

With this in mind, it finally dawned on me that I am an idea of God, that is I was created as an individualized soul because God had the idea that I should be so.  If that is true, and ideas leave not their source, then I exist (and always will) in the Mind of God.  And come to think of it, if one believes that God is the Creator of all in the universe, then that concept is also true of everything in the universe, animate or inanimate!  Therefore, EVERYTHING exists in the Mind of God and has some level of consciousness because God’s mind is always active!  This means we are part of God, we are divine, and we are all the same!  We ARE One … with God and with everything that God created!  How simple and straightforward is that?!

Once that epiphany sank in, I started to see hints of this truth in other, more familiar teachings.  For instance, Jesus hinted at the truth of this when he prayed for his disciples:

“I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.” [John 11:20-21]

Coming to realize the truth of this is really why we are here. THIS is our grand learning experience, a point expressed perfectly by the Arcturian Group through Marilyn Raffaele on October 2, 2022:

“Separation is a dream that has hypnotized the people of earth for a very long time but increasingly more are ready to accept and live from a higher level of awareness.

“It is impossible for any form of life to be separate from God. How could anything exist outside of that which is omnipresent? Do you believe in an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent God, or do you not? It is important to ask yourself this question.”

So, with this new understanding, it’s so much easier to get behind the admonishment to “see God in everything,” but we could also just as easily see ourselves in everything, because all things are one in God.  How, then, can we not see the brotherhood, sisterhood, heart connection, community, global family, peace, Love, joy, harmony, and Oneness with all that we see?  Surely, this idea alone will affect every action we take and every thought we have about anything seemingly outside of us … because it’s not!

Namaste, everyone!  I honor the place in you where we are one!

The Wondrous Cycle

Divine Mother’s Message ~  channeled by Jennifer 

Hello, Beloved Ones. 

I am the Divine Mother, your Mother, Mother of All, the Mother who loves, caresses, rears, nurtures and supports each one of you, always, in your learning and your growing.  If you have any difficulties at all, I am aware of them before you speak. But if you use your choice and you speak, then, in fact, you are opening the door for us to respond to you, because it is all hinged on this mechanism of your freewill choice. 

Beloved Ones, we are here for you always, as you know, when you have reached out to us in your pain or your anger, your angst. You do receive the comfort of your angels and guides and your Mother and Father. We are always present for you. But we stand by, so to speak, without interference in your life. So know that all the patterns, all of the kaleidoscopes of your days and nights, all of the beauty and struggle and surprises and challenges, all are a beautiful part of what you yourself designed to experience. 

The most difficult of all, for the human, is to maintain belief in Separation, which of course is Untruth and yet it allows you to play the game. It allows you to immerse yourself in the experience of being human in the lower dimensions. These are the only dimensions in which there is separation and it is only allowed because it is again your collective choice. “What if,” You said to us and to yourselves and each other: “What if we were to take a miraculous journey of adventure to a place where we forgot who we were? Where we forgot our own dearest selves in continuous connection with all life, with all others, with Mother/Father/All, with All Love?”

You, yourselves, Beloved Ones, chose this perspective, because you were excited at the challenge, because you understood that you could, in fact, make your way back. You knew that you could develop the understanding of Truth, as it lives within you. And it is mirrored all around you in the cycles of nature. It is mirrored all around you in the revival of Spring each year and in the way that all is connected. 

If one were to take the example of the snowflake falling. It comes from a beautiful grouping of moisture called “cloud”.  It gently settles down onto Earth in its beautiful individuality. And then if it is warm enough, Earth melts, warmth melts this beautiful snowflake back into continuous beingness, as part of the water cycle.  

And you see you are all in a wondrous cycle of life, a cycle of birth, formation, and creativity, and movement.  And you are at times rising and at times falling, at times forming and at times dissolving.  You are all in an exquisite dance of creation, of the fulfillment of life, fulfilling itself, of life, moving and opening and spreading and combining and becoming and exhilarating, just being so happy to be itself, in its own beautiful expression of uniqueness. And then you connect to others and you become part of this great bouquet of life, this great, exquisite panoply of creation. 

You are a part, and a beautiful part, and a treasured part and a beloved part. And when you are in connection with all else, you are simultaneously whole –  a part and whole. But when you are in the lower dimensions, specifically the third, you are most aware of the a-part, a-partness, the se-par-a-tion, and that is why we call it separation.

It is such an easy thing to understand and yet your beautiful – convoluted, may I say- brains, minds, will create so much confusion if given free rein, will create so much screen, so much scrim, haze, obfuscation (a new word that we love, which is to confuse and to hide behind.) And so we delight in your creations.  We know that some of your games give you great pain. We are feeling with you. We are aware of you at all times. And we are sharing in your adventures at all times, even the most painful ones.  

Beloved Ones, know that you are never alone. You are never, ever, truly, truly alone.  And having the great delight and pleasure of forming these words for you today, I will now gently and gratefully recede, take my leave – I am not gone, but merely stepping back to where you will feel me,  feel me, anytime you like, but you will also know, firsthand, your Own Being.  We love you and always will. Farewell.

I Could Not Be Closer

Painting by My Aunt Doria Higgins 1991

(The following is a glimpse of our channeling practice group process: I was being aided by one of our members, Simone.)

Simone: Now feel and see who’s with you and who wants to come through today? Do you see Jennifer?

me: 

(I feel… I feel Divine Mother encouraging me and strengthening me and comforting me. I feel myself reaching for her energy and I feel her immediate response -it is reassuring. I also felt, for a little while, the green of Archangel Raphael And I’m not used to his energies surrounding me but it was very sweet and very tender and gentle. And I don’t know if he wants to speak or not, but I sense that he is there for healing for me… there was a great energetic disconnection of some inner wiring this morning. It was a bit abrupt and a bit violent inside me and I feel he is there. To reconnect those… wires, for lack of a better word… energy pathways, reestablishing health and trust and ease, reestablishing inner strength, realigning… and I don’t feel that Rafael needs to speak so much as He is present, his green heart radiant, energizing and Mother’s heart surrounding us…)

Me:  

This is your Divine Mother. I wish to merely acknowledge and reinforce to you, let you all know, to reinforce your knowing that I am always available for you.  Reach for me and I will be with you. I am close – I could not be closer. That is so true. I could not be closer. Therefore I am present. Therefore, if you wish to be reinforced, you wish for strength, you wish for clarity, you wish just to be held for a few precious moments of embrace, I am always available.  I could not be more available. 

I am closer than in the wings, and yet I am not the actor, you are the point of action taken in any given moment. You are the one who is tasked and blessed with that power of choice in your own creation. Your life is not my creation. I am merely the envelope in which you exist. That is not so much a “merely” but a way of stepping back from being the principal point of action, so that you understand. I am your cloak. I am your scenery, your theater. I am your world. I am your universe. But you are the point of speaking, you are the physical voice. You are the grounded energy from which I will speak when I am desired to speak. And I felt your desire today and I have come forth in this way. For you. My daughter, my beloved, as I will for each of you. 

So be enveloped and be free. You are divine children, always, and can never not be— although you may play in any role that you desire. And when you are physically tired or physically disconnected as you were feeling earlier we will help you, we will come forward with the needed ointment. Whatever it is that will be best for you; sometimes it is merely to rest and to give yourself time with no stress whatsoever. 

When you are learning there is a level of intensity to the channeling. This will ease with time. It will become one of the most pleasurable and relaxing activities you can engage in, but when you are learning there is a level of uncertainty and quiet questioning within yourself. Can I ride the bicycle today? Will I fall off? Will I crash, will will I bump into something, will someone bump into me? So, it is not exactly the relaxing ride that you each desire until you become completely practiced at it. So it is to be gentle, to be welcoming. To be inviting, to be in tune and resting in the attunement, not stretching or twisting or reaching too intensely beyond what is comfortable. Comfort. That is the word. When you are in comfort. You are an effective conveyor of the energies. 

So bless you, each of you, for your love, your intentions. Your desire to learn, your desire to be physical voices for us on the planet at this time. It will be so, it is so, it is even now so, and so it is.  I will allow you to rest now, as this is best. Farewell. 

Me: Thank you, Mother.

Peaceful Guns

 Re-envisioning Guns for a more Peaceful World ~ August 2022

This project started a year ago, and it has grown to the point where I am really ready and excited to start sharing the concept and the results! I will introduce this in two parts…the first summer and photos (2021) and this second current summer with notes about our progress. (Inspired by Linda Dillon’s webinar course “Conscious Creating With The Mother” which I took twice as part of my accreditation for becoming a Council of Love Teacher&Coach.) Here’s the story of my creation project…

PART ONE: July 2021

I was meditating with our Divine Mother asking my Heart, what oh what deeply within me wants to come forth, as my next creation, the one where one hopes to offer ones’ love and energy to the greater world.  Immediately, I began to see plastic guns.  What??!!!   Colorful translucent plastic squirt guns.  First, turned on its end and filled with water, with flowers in it…. then a circle of them, glued into a wreath, hanging at the door.  I was totally surprised; it didn’t feel like these images were coming from my imagination, but flowing through my imagination.  It felt like Divine Mother was playing with me.  Why?? I asked my Heart, and heard… “Because you are afraid of guns the thought of them causes great discomfort in your energy, thereby hurting you…” Then i remembered my persistent horror of guns, and of the gun violence in America. I have hated and feared guns since i was a child.  

I understood then, that this -finally- was something that could, first of all, ease my despair and anxiety, and secondly, perhaps inspire others to begin to transform the ways we think about things in our world that feel too heavy, entrenched and completely hopeless.  I understood that if I could re-imagine the purpose of guns (something created solely for killing, in my mind) then I could begin to contribute to a new paradigm, and gentler, more playful, and more peaceful world. It felt like it would be taking guns to “a higher vibration”.  

I had some hesitancy exposing my “crazy idea”, but also some excitement and eagerness to explore this new concept.  I also knew that one of the steps would be to blog about it and to share on social media.  I’m only really active on Facebook, and I wasn’t at all sure my fairly large circle of friends would enjoy the concept, but I committed in my heart to go forward.  

Every day in meditation, I would get some more ideas for ways to form water pistols into other shapes… or I would get some reassurance, or inspiration for how to proceed.  First step: buy all the water guns i could find at my local store ( a pharmacy with toy dept.)  So for the next two weeks, I collected water guns, looking for a variety of colors (my elementary art teacher-self was eager to play with color), shapes and sizes. the first foray to the store cost me thirty bucks, so i decided to try the Dollar store next… got about twenty more for $6.00.  Then  I ordered 30 small ones at 50 cents each from Amazon.  I had enough to begin. 

Step 2.  Try out the idea with my granddaughters, who are 7.  If they could understand why I wanted to make something out of plastic guns, then I had some encouragement that others might also. Part of the journey i realized would be to learn to articulate what I was attempting to say and mean by this “art”.  They loved the idea and got it right away.  They couldn’t wait to begin.  I still had to martial some supplies like a glue gun (irony!) (Step 3.)

Step 4. Research the idea of artists using the gun form as protest art-  was anyone doing it?  what did the projects look like?  Yes, it was already out there, artists had been speaking metaphorically about disarming gun violence for years, but although it probably relieved their angst to speak out publicly about gun violence, it hadn’t seem to change the incidence of horrific shootings in our country, that I could see.  Still, i felt that if I had the courage to be creative in a public way as an “artist”, then I could at least contribute to the conversation – I would be participating instead of sitting in my fear. 

Step 5.  Begin.  The day arrived when  I had the girls over for a couple of hours, so we began by unpacking all the guns and spreading them all over the dining room table… then we sorted by color, to see what kind of resources we had for various ideas I had already… then the girls began to suggest some more ideas!  Divine daughters of God that they are, I accepted their ideas too —and realized that part of the joy for me was going to be the collaboration.  I LOVE to work in a team. However, I did have to retain leadership because of my commitment to the Mother.  We agreed to that and I decided to start with the image of the flower vase. I figured out how to stretch the hole in the plastic nozzle for flower stems.  Together we took the purple gun out to the garden to find which flowers might fit thru the still narrow opening.  After trying several kinds of flowers, we found that a poppy stem had the strength to stand in the neck of the gun, and so we filled the gun with water, pugged it tightly and balanced it on end, then put the poppy in.  The girls told me that you need to burn the stem of a poppy with a lighted match to seal it so that it can be in a bouquet.  So we did that also. Interesting that the element of fire was part of our ritual in setting up the first “Re-visioning” project. The vase was provocative, i thought.  The girls were very thoughtful looking at it… they felt we had turned the gun to a more peaceful purpose.

  But they still wanted to try two of the prettiest guns when we got into the hot tub afterwards… this lead to a discussion of the difference between having fun squirting water, and teaching kids to mimic battle and think that guns are “fun”.  The girls suggested we write to the toy manufacturer and suggest other shapes – like whales, dolphins, fish for the “squirters”, NOT guns or pistols.  

Step 6.  Document the project with photos of our ideas and the finished pieces.  We have so far made four objects from the plastic guns using a simple glue-gun and low temp glue.  We also figured out how to dismantle, i.e. “disarm”,  the guns by removing the triggers and the plastic plugs.  We begin to use the collected triggers and plugs creatively for accents, and details.  We have made together, over several weeks, two flowers and an elephant stomping on a gun. For more on this project, watch for the next installment, steps 6- 10 with more photos…

The Mother’s Peace

I have been channeling the Mother a lot lately… time to begin to share the messages, they are profoundly reassuring… Jennifer

Hello, my Divine Children. I am deeply grateful to be present in this way, at this time. I love you. I surround you. I imbue you with My grace, My faith, My knowing that All is Well.  I know it can be difficult to bring this knowing -that all is well at all times- to every circumstance you find yourselves, either involved in or witnessing in this life. But know that truly is the case. 

Ultimately, there is only, only One of Us – only Myself and your Father and the Universe – together,  playing. It is all our play. It is all our imagination. And we have witnessed over and over the ways in which our divine children play in the third dimension.

Conversations with the Company of Heaven – Part 2

[I am just learning to channel. As part of my learning practice, I chose to have conversations with particular members of the Company of Heaven. What follows are excerpts from these conversations with the portions which pertain only to removed. What remains are messages I believe are useful to all. Enjoy! — Rob]

Conversation with Malia, one of my guides, a golden-haired angel, with whom I associate the Virtue of Beauty, April 2022
A close approximation to how Malia appears to me

Rob: I would like to have a conversation about beauty … the nature of beauty.

Malia: It’s easy. You know it when you see it. [You] should be looking for it everywhere … because it is everywhere. In the smallest thing, there’s tremendous beauty … in all of creation, if we just look for it. 

It’s really not so much looking for it. It’s just seeing it. Think of the miracle of a single flower, even if it’s attached to what we think of as a weed. Think of the insects flying around those flowers, being nurtured by them. 

It could be anything you love. Being on a boat on the water. Feel the wind. It is beautiful!

Don’t worry about missing this as the world transitions through Ascension. All this will still be here, but it’ll become far more vibrant.

Rob: Is there anything else you’d wish to share, Malia?

Malia: Take more time during the day to notice these things. You get too busy. Your mind is racing all the time about one thing or another. Take time out to “smell the roses.” They’re all around you.

Conversation with Malika, one of my guides, a dark-haired dancer, May 2022
Not quite how Malika appears, but close enough

Rob: I ask for Malika to step forward. She’s just fun to be around. Kind of mischievous. I have challenges sometimes feeling the joy. How do I get better at that?
