Channeling the Mother, 4 Sep 2026

Jen: I’d like to have a conversation about hope. Its value to people seems like it’s an essential quality in our times. And if you’re not hopeful, you’re going to give way to despair.

I know hope is connected to faith, connected to optimism. It’s “connected” … period, connected to connection and connectedness.

So, who would like to channel with me? I’m getting Mama – Mama above and Mama below.

[An aside relating to a conversation before channeling…]

I’m sensing where my difficulty is because I’m seeing that, I believe that unless I have gone through a certain amount of ritual and centering within myself that I’m not going to be ready to channel. But, in fact, it’s hardwired already, with enough practice and the agreements that we’ve made between us, as a group and.. the Council of Love, the Masters and angels that we speak with…

Anyway, Mama’s tapping her foot, crossing her arms, like, “Let’s get going here!”

Mother: Greetings. I am your Mother. I am the Cosmic Mother. I am the Earthly Mother. I am the Universal Mother. I am your Heart Mother, the Mother of your Heart’s Love. I am any aspect of mother that you care to relate to, and you do, to all of them at different times.

Whatever aspect of Mother you choose to reach for, it doesn’t really matter. You so enjoy personifying us, and you relate better, because you are in human personalities, to assign to us human traits and personalities. But just as you can transcend all of these with your Whole Self, we also do transcend all of these. And yet, we are willing to come to you as your image of us, as your assigned counselor, as your chosen confidant, any time you wish.

I may be more present to you as Mother Mary when you are standing by the ocean and just feeling the blue, blue, blue, and it reminds you of her. I may be more present as the Cosmic Mother, the Source Mother, partner to Divine Father, because, of course, that’s always available to you.

You wish to speak of hope today. Hope is an exquisite energy. When you are feeling it, it buoys you up. It strengthens you. It aligns you, and yes, it connects you. It is like your small cables that have the different connectors at each end. Yes, it connects to us at one end and connects to you at the other. Hope is a supreme connector.

It is an energy of optimism, yes, an energy of buoyancy, an energy that works like an elevator, lifting you from one vibration into another. It is one which many of you have mastered, and you can find your hope quite easily. You know where to look and what gives you that feeling of buoyancy and optimism.

And there are others who are still learning to align with this energy. In which case, it would be helpful to remind them that the glass is full – not half full, but indeed overflowing. And this is the reality. This is the spiritual reality.

You live a life in which you choose black or white. You choose half full, half empty. But stretch a little farther, and you will see that, in fact, the abundance of the goodness of the love of the cosmos is your essence.

And if this is so, and we are always expanding, how could you have less than you need, unless you choose that to be your reality? Some of you choose that in compassion, or I would say sympathy, pity, empathy – that level of compassion.

Some of you choose it out of a desire to experience life from this perspective. This is fine. Don’t berate yourself for aligning with less-than until you are finished with this. When you have completely mastered that game, you will move on naturally.

And what is natural is that there is always enough. And not only enough, there is more than enough. There is all that you wish to create, but enough is a given. Enough is given to you. Yes.

Getting back to hope as the central word for this transmission, and we will be wrapping up. Hope is your belief in home – a one letter difference. Yes, and a belief that is very, very strong is faith. Misaligned beliefs, mistaken beliefs, three-dimensional beliefs – these are not faith. But your true heart connection and conviction is faith, and hope is the first step to faith. Faith is your knowing that you are always connected to home and always will be.

You may take as long a journey as you like. You may take all the distant byways and highways. You may go up and go down. You may burrow deep into darkness, and as long as you remember that you are connected to home through hope, through faith. You just pull on the cord like a deep diver, and you will be very quickly hauled up.

So I wish to leave you with these images today and this reassurance, that we are always with you, and you are always – a part of you – always with us. Great blessings for this day.

Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, September 4th, 2026, Maine, USA

In our practice group, recently, we all channeled our higher selves, or how we conceive our divine levels to be, to guide us on living the energies. We Trust this will be of interest to others as it is of value to us, and Surrender the need to control the outcomes and, yes, Allow the Great Blessings of the Universe to show up in our every days… Just like someone drowning fights their rescuer, so too, we make it harder on ourselves by our resistance – doubts, fears, exhaustion, stress…. Lighten up & brighten up, folks, a New Earth is Now. With Love & Compassion, Jennifer

Jen: All right, so taking the question: How am I Trusting, Surrendering and Allowing – in the sense of allowing myself to detach from my sense of accomplishment or my sense of goals, or [from] my sense of not trusting myself enough to choose my own path each day, for my own highest good. Instead, I question myself, and I doubt whether I am accomplishing enough, and I wonder if I’m proceeding without trying to control.

Am I proceeding in grace and in fulfillment of the higher purpose, in fulfillment of the divine plan? And the divine plan “for me”- as was channeled to Jo Ann [my teammate]? Not only the divine plan for Earth or for all of Life, but the divine plan for me, which is another way of saying my own sacred purpose. I think my tendency to want to accomplish gets in the way, or to feel that I must accomplish to be honoring my plan, when my plan might be just to relax and hang out for the day and play.

So, a check-in, please, with my higher self, my Whole Self, whatever name comes forward for that, it tends to vary. For some reason, I use Whole Self.

Whole Self: You may refer to us as Whole self. We are going to use the plural because we are Whole. You have enjoyed, in the past, exploring the identity of Whole Self, and have at times channeled an aspect of Whole Self. Felicity, one of your guides, is an aspect of Whole Self. Also you have played with various names for us, but we are you. You are the point person for the group; it is as though we had a committee, and we have put you into the role of Earth, Earth Explorer, Earth Experiencer.

Yes, you carry with you, genetically, a drive to accomplish, a drive to be useful, to be helpful, a drive to be on task as often as possible. Some of this is rooted in the core issue of “not enough”, or worry that you are not enough, not “blank”____ enough, in any particular situation. It is also inherited from those in your family who were heroes in your mind, or who, by their life’s work, engendered your admiration for them and your respect for them. And you hope that when you have finished your earthly path, you will have some admiration, some respect for yourself.

We would like to invite you to move this forward and to express to yourself gratitude for who you are now, what you have grown into, what you are growing- continuing to grow- into, which is the greatest expression of Whole Self that you can be within the physical realm, within the human body and within your life experiences every day.

Now. We are not driven nor trying to excel, nor trying to perform, accomplish or become anything at any rate that is going to cause you discomfort. So use that as your benchmark, your guide post, your signal that you are straying from merely – interesting word, “merely,” there’s some judgment there – that you are straying from the simplicity of the intention to allow your Whole Self – Us – the greatest amount of property within your world.

For you, Trust is strong, but you could elaborate. You could do a mini-seminar for yourself on how trust expresses for you every day. Are you trusting yourself to guide, choose, step forward, rest when you need to? Are you trusting yourself to surrender? Are you trusting yourself to allow? You see? Are you surrendering into the trust? Are you surrendering into allowing the flow of life to be itself? Are you allowing yourself to live a life of trust and surrender?

Each of you is born new each morning that you awaken, each of you is a brand new human being, incarnated with the greatest possible amount of your higher self each day. But we will never push you. We will never shove, we will never say, “fit Me in”.

It is only possible for you to live the greatest amount of your whole self, of your divine entire self, the greatest possible amount, in the physical, if you do relax, if you do release control, if you do know, deep in your heart, that trust is an intrinsic part of you —and you can align with it. This will line up your flow with us in forming your expression of life, divinity within divinity.

You are all divine, each one of you and you can allow more of yourselves to be present every day- but only through trusting, surrendering and allowing that flow of life.

Remember that —without the despotic, royal “We”— we are plural, if it helps you to expand your sense of identity into: How can we live this day together? How can we walk this way together? How can we bring forward the flow of Divine Love, Divine Light, Divine Life together.

Allow your sense of you to become us, and this will assist you in relaxing into the greatest expression of All That Is within your own individual point of light —and we know this is your plan, because you chose it, and we are with you, 100% .

if you are uncomfortable, you are pushing, or you are near tears or trying too hard or exasperated or impatient, know that this is coming from the human level. When you are in joy, when you are in laughter, when you are just peacefully pursuing whatever you are doing, whatever you are not doing, know that this is coming from all of us in concert together.

We leave you, all three of you in this group today, with our blessings and our gratitude for this opportunity, which is so valuable for us, to speak as one together.
