SPIRIT CAFE ~ on Riding the Waves

The Lighthouse Team of Council Of Love Teachers, Sue, Adrienne, Rob, Roxanne, Martin and I, are all excited to announce that we’ll be holding the next SPIRIT CAFE conversation on Saturday, APRIL 12th at 11 am EDT (Eastern time)!!!  

We so look forward to these rich open conversations on relevant topics.  This month, all our chats have led to “Riding the Waves of Change”. How are we getting through the rough and tumble of this time of transformation, intact and with grace? So much seems to be coming at us, too fast!  

What we are learning in the melee is that everything seems to serve a purpose for good. Every day is full of miracles. Everything we experience can be seen as a challenge and a blessing.

But it often takes our friends to help us understand this alchemy of perspective, to see the hard and scary times as invitations to align. And what’s the quickest way to alignment? Let’s talk about it on Saturday! Join us? It’s free and you are most welcome to listen in or add your perspective.

The following is a related inner conversation with an Angel called Alashara. She speaks to our theme in a truly loving and helpful way, coaching us in how to ride these waves every day and reminding us of the power of our choice.

Your Joy is Innate, channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson April 4, 2025

Alashara: Yes, this is Alashara. I am here to remind you to be open to surprises.  You have -at your fingertips – any one of us to have a conversation with.

I step forward because I wanted to remind you that you have prepared for this time, that you have within you all knowledge. You can see what is before us. You can see your way through the tunnel. You know the shape and the beauty and the wonder of what is at the end of the tunnel. This has all been shown to you in preparation for this journey. It is there for you. There are occasions when you will shudder a little, a spider falls down from the top of the tunnel and you go, “Whoa!”

But you are very good at re-centering yourself.  And do not for a moment berate yourself for taking the time that it takes to recenter, to come back to your place of peace, your place of comfort, your place of wisdom, your inner strength. It is there, and this is the human journey.

These are the moments that knock you off your feet, the waves that knock you off your feet, and you are sitting in the midst of the swirl, and your feet are in the air and you’re laughing, but you find your balance. Do you come out a bit wet, and it takes a while to dry off?

You were wondering where and how to find your joy in the midst of the discomfort of change. Yes. Remember, your joy is innate. Your joy is a very deep part of you. It is the core of you. But allow yourself the entire journey. Allow yourself all of those sensations, all of those emotions. And you do know you can tug on us when you are feeling extreme discomfort.

As far as what to tell others at this time, do not hide the joy, if you need to make a headline: “sharing joy In the midst of misery, in the midst of fear, in the midst of doubt and worry”- share your joy.

You are wondering: How, in a time when so much creativity is surfacing, so many ideas are coming forward— “Oh, we could do this. Oh, we could do this, we could do this, we could do this,” and then you find that you are doing more and you find you are more exhausted. Yes, it is a time of adjustment in this way. 

You will find yourself burgeoning. This is an old word, burgeoning, such as, the Earth is now burgeoning. Much is growing, much is popping up, just springing forth, and it is greatly beautiful.

Allow yourself to be comfortable,  no matter what happens. Allow yourself to trust the pacing. Trust the flow to contain the best speed for each day. Do not distrust the flow. We have invited you over and over to allow the flow. So why distrust it? Why label it? Why? Why say it is too fast or there is not enough of it, or there is not enough time. Just know that what there is time for is in the perfect flow. What you feel like doing is in the perfect flow.

You do not need to commit yourself to everything way ahead of time. You can always be clear that you will choose what is in your highest alignment at the time. And it is not always possible to see this ahead of time. And others will wait. They will go about choosing their best flow.

You choose, and then it manifests. And then you ride the waves. But it begins with choice. The choice is the initiator. If you choose a peaceful day, choose a peaceful day. Watch it unfold. Begin your morning with your choice, your conscious choice. “Today, I choose a peaceful flow”, and even surprises will come to you as delightful rather than alarming.

And you, if you are being empathic, will pick up on everybody else’s feelings. But that does not need to swamp you, that does not need to upend you.  Just say, “I notice.  I notice there are strong feelings about this. We will be all right.”  Be there when you can for another’s feelings, just calmly, and trust them to handle it.

You have all been learning, some of you more consciously than others, but you have all been learning. … So trust this and know that you are doing very, very well, and not only that, we are very grateful for your sense of dedication and purpose, for your love you are bringing the planet. We are with you in that love. We will restore you. We will add our love to your love. We want to share our love, too, on the planet. Thank you for channeling. Thank you for being in relationship with all else.

St Germaine on the Vision for the United States of America

[I channeled this a few days after the U.S. election.  My teammates and I were discussing people’s reaction to it, and when it came my time to channel, St Germaine unexpectedly came through with this message of hope.  He gives us a call-to-action to look beyond the results and unite as one, as was the original vision for America. — Rob]

St. Germain

Rob: I keep seeing the image of St Germaine standing in the [Independence] Hall in Philadelphia when they signed the Declaration of Independence. We’re standing in the back … although we’re kind of overseeing the whole [scene] — we’re up above, looking down on the hall. I’ve been there, and it’s actually not a very big room.

St Germaine: Greetings, all. This is Saint Germaine, Keeper of the Violet Flame, and yes, one of the instigators of this experiment that we call America — the New World, as it were, at the time. I show you these images to make the point that we are coming full circle to the original vision of what America, these United States, was meant to be. Yes, I had a hand in inspiring those who signed the document to actually have the internal fortitude to do so, and, for those who drafted it, to craft the words that would resonate with so many for centuries to come.

We find ourselves now at a point in the history of humanity where we’re on the cusp of truly understanding what it means to be united. I know it doesn’t feel that way at the moment, but this time — this most recent election — is showing MORE people — not just in this country, but across the world — the effect that division and separation have on our attitudes, on our beliefs, on our well-being. And everyone is coming to realize what they no longer desire, what they are no longer willing to tolerate.

The shift is happening. People understand [that] divisiveness, certainly in government systems, but in all facets of life, just does not work. It is not good for anyone.

Yes, there are times when one side feels that they’ve won, but as you all pointed out at the beginning [of your discussion], that also means there is another side who feels they have lost … and that flips back and forth from one cycle to another, constantly winning-losing. It makes no sense.

People are coming to understand, to realize, I no longer want this. I want off the roller coaster, as it were. I want to feel what it is like to be united with ALL my brothers and sisters, within my own community, within my own family, for that matter, across the nation and across the world. All these events that have happened most recently are all leading to that point of realization. It’s taking hold — perhaps slowly at first, but it is surely taking hold.

Now is the time for all of you to help your brothers and sisters to see that, to understand that the division does not serve anyone. And it’s coming together, united as one humanity. That is where we are headed. That is where you are all headed.

And it’s up to each of you to show others the way, to extend to them, as your dear teammate likes to say, the generosity of your heart, to show others what it is like, how to behave when living from your heart with love and compassion for all, irrespective of what side they are on. There are no sides!

Yes, there’s a wide range of differing beliefs, but none of that matters. You are all humans. You are all here for the same reason, for the same ultimate purpose, that is to realize who you are. And you are all the same, therefore you are all on the same journey. Yes, you all take a different path, but at the end of the day, you all end up in the same place.

As you were just looking the other day, Rob, at that image that you created of multiple paths up the mountain, yes, different cultures can all have a different path, but in the end, we all end up at the top, the point of realization that we are, in fact, all one.

We are SO excited for the times that are emerging now, for the events that are to come, for the resulting sense of unity across the entire planet, as it was meant to be from the beginning.

But thank you all for your service, for helping humanity get there, for it is happening. Rest assured. Take heart. Be proud of the role that you are playing.

So with that, do any of you have any questions?
