Lord Maitreya: Lighten Up!

Photo “Copper Light” by Jennifer Donaldson, 2025

Jen:  My dear Lord Maitreya, would you like to comment on your generous role in my life and in all our lives and in this sense that we are living more and more now in the fifth dimension?

Lord Maitreya: This is Maitreya. I am very pleased to be invited to speak with you in this way, in this setting, at this time, and in answer to your questions. We see this breakthrough that you are feeling, and many will be feeling this, and many are feeling this. But if you are not yet feeling this, know that you will. 

It comes at a time when there is a convergence of energies which have been preparing for a long time to lighten up, brighten up, lift up. This is ascension. You are all in an ascension process. Your elevators are moving. Some are moving quickly. Some are moving slowly, but eventually your doors open and you step out and it feels like life is a little more wonderful. Life is a little more amazing. Life is easier. Life is gentler. 

It is because you are reflecting these things. You have learned to be gentle to yourself. You have learned to take things a little easier, and even if you have many plates in the air, as you like to visualize it, you are having fun with your plates. You are not feeling daunted. You are not feeling afraid that you will drop them. You know that they can, well, first of all, your plates are made of paper, so if they drop to the ground, it’s no big deal. You just pick it up, you see. So it is not the hardship that you have been committed to for so long. 

This new space feels brighter, lighter, softer. I spoke of the gentle aspect of it. I would use the word sweeter, but I do not mean the sugary part which all of you struggle with from your experiences of the toxicity of it. I speak of the sweetness of Life itself, the unexpected bursting upon you, the pleasure that you anticipate with anything — going for a walk and seeing a beautiful bird, the pleasure bursting upon you, it is as though your palate becomes your entire experience, and the sweetness of Life bursts upon your view, your sensations, your vision, your hearing. 

Now let us talk a little bit about this time of year. It can, as the leaves fall in your part of the world, go from being Technicolor gorgeous, to being a little dreary and drab. This has been your experience in all of the years on the planet in this part of the world. Ah. So how will this feel like a higher vibration to you? What will change in this next month and the month after that?  This will be a fun thing for you to discover! Your technique of saying to the world every morning, saying to the universe, saying to your guides, angels, your higher self, “Surprise me. I’m open to surprises today. I’m trusting that the surprises that will come to me will be joyous!”

Surprises will be interesting. Surprises will be unexpected in a way that opens up new understanding, new pleasure, new experience. You can say to yourself every day, “Oh, I’ve done this before, but I’ve never experienced it that way before!”  So, in your everyday occurrence, you are not suddenly transported to another universe. Your everyday experiences, that you are well familiar with, will become to you more rich in their offerings and in your ability to receive, to allow the wondrousness and to receive the new experiences. 

Every experience has value for you. This is why you incarnate. This is why you play the game. This is why you run the movie. Every experience has value to you, and so you stop in each moment and you sniff the air, “Oh, that wonderful smell of Fall, of Earth. The leaves are falling now, and they create a wonderful, wonderful aroma.”  

Okay, so you hear a sound that in the past, you would have said, “Oh, there’s that darn leaf blower again,” and I’m using gentle language. You will think instead, “Oh, I send ear protection to that young man carrying that monstrously noisy machine.  I hope that his ears will be safe and that he will find fulfillment from his work. That, in this period in his life,  running a leaf blower for a yard company be a good job for him, and one that helps him in many ways.” 

So you see, your experience of the leaf blower is entirely different than it was a few years ago, when you would say a string of angry words and put some headphones on, or get in your car and drive away somewhere where you did not have to listen to that.  You have asked for a gentler world, and it is moving in that direction. Yes, many people are converting to the quieter forms of leaf blowing. 

And you say, “Why not get out your rake?” Well, there are people who are reviving this too. Yes, there is something calming and gentle about moving a rake slowly across your lawn to find all those lovely leaves. And did your friend not just send you a wonderful video of raking her lawn with her grandchildren? And them lining up and, at the count of three, running forward and leaping into the leaf pile with laughter and smiles? What a joyful moment, and your friend sent it to you in the mail. She enjoys a leaf rake. Yes, they will revive. 

People will begin to realize that they have speeded up their lives to an uncomfortable degree, and they have a choice. They can move into something more comfortable, and step by step, they will do so. So we have elaborated a little bit on the qualities that you are beginning to notice, and we would take this moment indeed to affirm for you, to confirm for you entirely, that yes, indeed, you are moving into and living more in the higher dimension, of the fifth.  

You do not need to know exactly what all of the steps are, but you do know that there are twelve steps in each dimension, and you will experience each of those before you are ready to open the door of that elevator. You see?  And sometimes you stay in the elevator for a while, and it goes up and it goes down, and it goes up and it goes down, and you just enjoy watching the floors change. Yes, it is fun. Do you remember that story of the little girl in the big hotel in New York, Eloise? [by Kay Thompson & Hilary Knight]. She would ride the elevator up and down and up —and get off where she wanted and run along the hallway and find the the stairs, the physical stairs, and run up them and run down them. This is what is happening in your world right now, and there is a playfulness and a joyousness to it. All of the heavier energies are being left behind, when each of you is ready, and we honor the pace of every single one of you. 

[part 2 on Abundance, next week! ]

Great love to each one of you. This is Maitreya.  Until the next time. Farewell.

The Quantum Leap of Ascension

The final part of the Easter channeling of Yeshua & Mary Magdalen answering questions about the Purpose of this Turmoil, the Nature of Evil and Ascension into the Fifth D. So MUCH interesting stuff in these answers… Enjoy and Be Blessed! Jennifer

Q #2: I’m so curious as to what your perspective is from where you stand on the chaos and turmoil that is being created in our country at the moment, and what you see as the biggest purpose. 

Yeshua & Mary Magdalen: Yes, this is an interesting time and a difficult time for many. You all have a great sense of love for your country, and you may feel that it’s going in a good direction. You may feel it’s going in a terrible direction. But what really is happening is that everybody’s ideas are shifting, and the reality is shifting, and it no longer matches your ideas. 

So the old ideas need to be let go, and you need to come together with your compassion in your heart and realize that people with different ideas are going to conflict, but people with love in their hearts are going to come together. So it is a time when old ideas, old structures, old beliefs, no longer work. You see many of your places of worship emptying. Many of your denominations are losing members, and this is because what you have been told for so long is no longer working for people. It is the same with your government systems and your judicial systems. 

Unfortunately, there were great and beautiful ideals in the creation of your country. And there are many people still supporting the highest good for all in their hearts. But there are also many new souls coming in, or younger souls, who want to direct things in their own way and make their own imprint. And the older souls are shaking their heads and going, “We do not think that is a very good idea. However, it is a new era, and new ways will evolve from the whole, by experience.” You’re going through a period where some of the more 

‘wild’ ideas are being tried out, and they are being discovered to be unhelpful in some ways, and so they will be let go, just like the old ideas that no longer worked.

 However, certain structures in your society were being held together, and there was a level of, I’m sorry to tell you this, a level of corruption within some of your institutions. So it is sometimes best for those institutions to be re-evaluated, fall apart and be re-made with a new and better, higher vision, without the layers of control, power, corruption, those elements which serve to hold people small.

Also there was a level of non-participation by a great many people who felt that they needed to, or all they needed to do was pay their taxes and then they could trust the government to make all their decisions for them. You will be evolving to a place where there is a greater participatory democracy: a rule by the people, for the people, for the best and the highest good of all the people. And you will evolve new systems. But for new growth to come, the old has to fall away, and this is painful for some of you who have been, in good faith, trying to make the old systems continue to work, and there is still good in them.

There are many good people working hard, dedicated to the well being of the whole, but there are many people who have become motivated by your financial system, their remuneration, their pay package, their benefits, their perks, their standing in other’s eyes. 

There is this adulation of those with great wealth and great popularity in your society. It is not really surprising that one such as your current president, should become elected, in some ways, because there is this great adulation for wealth and notoriety, popularity. The figures on your television carry undue weight. They are humans. They are brothers and sisters, sometimes quite enlightened, sometimes not so enlightened. But this is fine. Everyone is growing in their own time. 

Does what we have shared answer some part of this question for you? 

Q#2: Thank you. 

Y & MM: Yes, this is a natural evolution. It is painful. It’s painful. It can be painful. It does not have to be,  but if you are feeling the discomfort – you have heard when – well, you are all female, you have heard that when there is the birthing, there is the transition period, and that is the most rocky and most difficult part of giving birth. 

Yes, this is the transition period you are in. The old is breaking apart and the new is coming through. Think of it as the sidewalk cracking. The sidewalk is no longer serving the Earth is coming through with her new growth, creating new life in the cracks. And there are many wonderful, wondrous new systems that you will help create. You will dream up, all of you, in the generations to come. It will truly inaugurate this Thousand Years of Peace.  We are in the first few years. So be patient. 

What else shall we discuss? 

Question #3: I have a question that’s may be related, another biggie. I’ll try to articulate it. It has to do with the nature of evil. I tend to think in terms of energy flow, and in the way that I think about that and multiple levels and layers of consciousness, that doesn’t hold in my conceptualizing that there’s evil, it holds more that there’s blockages, and patterns that lead to kinds of behaviors. But I’ve been invited, in the last few years, just through different teachers, to consider that there may indeed be evil, as something that is worth naming. And a recent definition that there may be evil around, evil where, when people are taking pleasure in others’ pains and losses like deep, deep pleasure and pursuing that for their own pleasure. 

So I just have been holding that. What feels to me more to be an energetic flow, and problems with energy, are not problems but, but lack of coherence. That’s really a different way of holding something than than holding ‘Dark Forces’ and trying to comprehend that. Or does that flow transcend and include what we might call good and evil? 

Y & MM: Yes, this is one of the biggest questions. It is energy.  It is energy. Evil is energy which has been allowed to accrue, because it is a free will universe, and it has been built and created over time, and it has acquired certain manners of behavior which affect people. 

We find it wisest to not focus on it. It only gives it your energy. So it is best for you to focus on that which you wish to create and lend your life energy to and to allow what is, to be what is. 

Now, if you were in a one-on-one situation, you would want to say, “Stop.” You would want to call in the Archangels. You have all been in situations where you have sent that which is suffering from lack of light, lack of love, which has become an energy, you have sent it back to Divine Mother/Divine Father, to its Origin, to be remade. Because truly you are very, very ancient, wise beings, all of you. There is a part of you that knows how to do this.  

In your everyday dealings, you will find some who seem to be misusing the gift of their life, here. They seem to be missing the point of becoming more love. Love expands, otherwise contracts. The dark is truly the absence of light. And as soon as there is a tiny bit of light there, is light there, and light grows and light can be built upon, and light can be activated with kindness, with caring thought, with a momentary gesture, an offering of peace, of “I see you, I care”. Without your having to say anything light begins to grow for that individual, you see?  There are those who become involved with what they think of as evil because they misconstrue where power truly is.  The only true power there is in the universe is the power of love. This IS the creative power. 

You will find those who focus on the dark and on the, what you would call evil, so as to enlighten it, banish it. There are those of us in the higher realm, such as your Archangel Michael, and those who are dedicated to bringing light where there is very little light. And some of you work with these energies, such as Archangel Michael, in the night in your dream time, and you add your love to the beam, the focus that is being brought to these areas. 

During your waking hours,  if you were to dedicate your worry, your concern, your fear, to any of this darker energy, it would not serve anything. It does not serve love. It does not serve you. It only diminishes. It depletes you. You see, there is that which is darker, which likes to – I’m trying to think of a metaphor, which is – think of it as a straw, take a straw and put it up to something, and go [demontrating, sucking through the straw]. See?  It is not fully destructive, but it is not helpful. You do not need these straws. You do not any -any body does not need anybody else borrowing their energy. 

So the way to keep yourself strong and whole, of course, is through centering in your divinity and the love that you are, your own core being, which is powerful. And go about your day. Go about your day with as much kindness and love, gentleness, caring, compassion, wisdom as you can. 

Now we have spoken a little more about the darkness than we usually do, but we felt it important for you to understand that we do recognize this. However, we do not give it a whole lot of energy, because it already knows how to steal energy. So we go about focusing on what will be of some more benefit to humanity, to the world. 

You find some trash by the road, you just pick it up and put it in your pocket. You don’t gnash your teeth and think about the “nasty” person that sent it there. You see? You just put it in your pocket and take care of it. You are lighter, the world is lighter. So it is a matter of managing your energy. It is a matter of knowing how to move your energy for the greatest good for you and others. 

(Thank you.) 

Y & MM: You’re welcome. (Just going to check the time).  

One final question, and then we will finish. 

Q #4: I’m delighted that you’re here visiting with us. So good to hear the positivity that comes out. 

Y & MM: We are most grateful for this chance, this opportunity to sit with you, be with you, feel your energies in this way. It is visceral, because we can pick it up through a human body, can borrow the  senses. The senses are so sweet, you, see, (taking the hand of the one next to Jennifer) Exquisite, just exquisite. 

[Question] Yes, yes, go right ahead.

Q #4:  So I’m hearing again that mankind is about to go through like a quantum leap. Mm, a leap in which, you know, we would be more aware of gifts that are unique to us, that we’re presently not using. Can you speak about this? 

Y & MM: Yes, this is most wondrous. We have been speaking for a while about the ascension into the fifth dimension. In the fifth dimension, you are all beginning to dip your toes in, you are beginning to notice energies which feel much faster than you are used to. And you are also beginning to tune in to each other in ways, catch yourself being more telepathic, perhaps? Your meditations may come more easily, or you may have wonderful experiences that surprise you, upon awakening.  

You are sensing more happening, and you are also able to witness beautiful things beginning to come forward from the young, the children, of the planet. There is much that is beginning to happen. You tend to think it will be very sudden and very specific, but in fact, it is spread out over the whole planet, and it is minutely calibrated to each person, so as to bring each person’s energy up incrementally, a little bit more each day, so that you do not go into shock. Yes, you are definitely in the midst of this. 

We in our capacity as overseers, and there is a very large group of us, we are making every attempt to make it as gentle a path as possible. Your free will choice will always be respected. We will not yank you out of your bed and thrust you into something that would be so ‘discombobulating’, so so dis-arranging, that you would suffer.  No, no. 

We have received, in your dream state, in consultation, each of you with your guides and your own soul, the whole of you, your own Whole Self, we have received the permission that you are ready and willing, a little bit timid, perhaps, a little tentative, because no one quite knows what to expect. You see?  But you will find that you are experiencing days where things are happening a bit too fast, weeks where things are happening a bit too fast, or miracles. Miracles happen. Yes. 

This is a form of miracle. This twenty or forty years ago, would have been very, very rare. We are told this is now rather common. That is a wondrous thing, a wondrous thing that a group of people can come together, with open hearts and trust that we can speak with you, person to person, you see. And there are many, many, many ways in which you will begin to see this fifth dimensional existence coming online for you. 

Yes, you are moving through the fourth dimension, and you are movable. There will come a time when you are living pretty solidly in the fifth dimension, but it will take a while. It will take years, sometimes twenty – thirty years, see? 

And some will not complete it in this lifetime. They will be happy that they lived this long, and they will come back. And some will live much longer than you are used to. Yes, because of the higher vibration, you will not age in the same way. You will not need to age. And you will become powerful within your own creatorship and be able to say, “I wish to stay youthful, energetic. I want to dance, I want to sing. I am not going to deny myself those joys. I want to swim, I want to run on the beach,” You see? And so you will be able to express yourself and find that your body will begin to conform to the joy in your heart. 

Does this answer your question? It is meant to be a bit of encouragement for you, yes, but it is a mystery for all of you to uncover each day, wondrous surprises, as you discover what it is to live with a higher vibration, to live with greater love, to live with greater part of your own beingness, informing you, inspiring you. 

Yes. You do have the answers within. Don’t forget.  In your meditation times, you can guide yourselves with the help of your teams. You can guide yourselves quite ably, but it’s a joyous thing to come together with others who are learning these things too. 

Are we feeling more complete now? It’s been about an hour. So as not to tire any of you. It’s been an exciting day, and in a wonderful, wonderful way.  We are grateful. Great love to each of you. [End]
