Lord Maitreya: Lighten Up!

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.

New Discoveries: Timelines

by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, spiritual info
art by Jennifer

Jennifer:  Babylon. Babble On!  I’m curious about the word “timelines,” some of the different things that it could mean, how it’s changing now from what it was, say, 10 years ago. How it’s going to change?  I’m just waiting to see who… So,  I’m going to channel my own Whole Self. 

This in interesting because my husband was walking across the ceiling, the floor upstairs, going from right to left, and I am sitting here talking to you guys and going across [this way, front to back]. And that was like an illustration of timelines intersecting. 

My Whole Self: Yes, my love, we will begin. You are getting glimpses of this, inklings of this, snips and threads of this. It is that we do not experience time in the way that you do.  So. If you wish to play with time, you do so for a limited period. It’ll be a snip or a snap, or it’ll be a long continuous road pathway that will last a very long time. They vary greatly in length. They can be initiated at any time. They can join up with others. They can diverge. They can renew themselves, rebirth themselves. They can come to a finite end, which is infinite. So it can either rebirth or it can stay in a stopping point . 

You are beginning to glimpse the fluidity of what is to come and the ways that you will begin to experience life. It will be very much all around you. It will be very much from your point of choice. So, just as now, you are meeting with your friends on Zoom, this is an intersecting of a timeline which you have created. And you have created this timeline. It has been going for several years, and it goes and then it takes a pause, and then it goes again. And it takes a pause and it goes again. So this is an illustration of one kind of timeline. 

There are other timelines where you sit at your computer and you have a different meeting, and that is an intersecting through your device of a different timeline, but they can communicate with one another through you, through your presence in that timeline. 

There are also infinite choices of pathways which you choose to take, some of them short and some of them long. Some of them last for years. Some of them will last the rest of your life, and some of them are merely for a few moments.  You chase after a butterfly on a beautiful green slope of grass and moss and and then it is gone. And you go about your day.  So you see you are skipping timelines. You are skipping between them in a beautiful dancing pattern. None of them are exclusive. There are others which can intersect that energy which you have left behind, if you have moved on.  Someone else may come across that butterfly. 

You see, it is that you are used to thinking of time as finite, and you are used to thinking of lines as stable, rigid and going from past to future, one common human timeline. You use this as a device to understand your past and your future, to understand your stories, to place them in context and in sequence. However, that is not how life is actually lived. That is a human construct. 

As you know, it is actually much more fluid. Think about mapping an ocean, a part of an ocean. And this little creature swims this way, and this one swims this way, and this one comes down for a little while and soaks and goes up again and leaves. And this same space is traversed in many ways by many forms of life, many forms of expression. 

And you can take the same event, which you create over and over again, such as when you have a Zoom meeting and you do your channeling together. You are taking the same thread and you are creating a new construction with it. You see so lines are not necessarily straight. They can be wavy, or they can be entwined and entangled in a beautiful way, sometimes in a frustrating way. 

When you repeat an experience and you say, “Oh, here goes that energy again. I really can’t stand it when that happens.” Or, “Oh, no, we’re having an argument about the same old thing,” that would be more of a negative entanglement, but nevertheless, you have subconsciously drawn it to you by your thoughts and your desires and your beliefs. 

So your I Am Presence, which [one of your team mates] so beautifully discussed earlier with St. Germaine, your I Am Presence is choosing each moment.  As another one says, “moment by moment by moment”, where to play in space and time, because you still perceive in space and time.  For us, it is much more fluid and it fluctuates, it fluctuates and it flows and it moves and it disperses. 

You will become used to the more fluid expression of it. But for now, think of it a little bit like ribbons, of all different colors and textures, all filling a room, stitched together in different ways, bending back on themselves and meeting another color, tied up here with this one, and then flowing over to that other corner and meeting another one. 

And it is as though each of you have, you are, a timeline, in the sense that, as you experience life you create a trail. You create a trail ahead of yourself, of your desire. You create a trail behind yourself, of your experience. But you see, these are all much more multiple than you experience it in your [everyday life]…well, the way that you grew up thinking about your experience. 

You’re now beginning to expand on this, and it’s very exciting for us to experience it with you, within you, from inside you. Congratulations for all your new discoveries and all your new understandings, and we are most excited for you. 

Thank you for this opportunity to play as your own Whole- much loved and very loving -Self. Farewell for now.

Advice from Archangel Uriel: Be Laughter!

by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, Humor & Play, spiritual guidance, spiritual info
Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.com

Jennifer:  (laughter) I just saw the funniest thing… You know when you’re getting centered, front, back, side to side? I just saw this slinky go straight up my chakras, it’s like a bejeweled slinky, and it got up to the crown and all these fireworks (laughing) went off!  My God the way our inner selves play, or something.. I mean … I just think it’s hilarious!! Okay. (mock serious) Now Roger Rabbit will be coming to speak with you (everyone laughs).

Rob: Because “laughter is like music in their realm”. 

Jennifer: That’s right! It’s probably Uncle UU again, right? Okay. I was just too silly to.. maybe I’m too silly to channel…(giggles) (taking a breath)…Okay, this is definitely a follow up from last week. 

Archangel Uriel: It is indeed Uriel. Because we so delight in surprising you, because it is our great joy in emphasizing to you the power of your own detachment from whatever you expected to happen. For, you see, when you are fully detached, wonderful new things can come through that you did not expect at all. You have not even imagined! Who would have thought there would be a bejeweled slinky, within you, that would set up fireworks? And if you would like to speak with Roger Rabbit we can make this happen…?

We so delight in merging our energies with you when you are laughing. If you have ever felt your laughter impelled by something greater than yourself – believe it – we are with you, if you’ve ever felt your laughter magnified, to a point of embarrassment, to where you could not stop laughing, where tears were leaking from your eyes. See, we so enjoy piling on when this energy is present. We just like to let you know that you, with laughter, the power of laughter with each of you, you are inviting our presence.  And we magnify the laughter, and we spread it out. It is powerful stuff. Do not feel in any way embarrassed by this. It is truly glorious!

Be laughter! Be your laughter, when it comes. I know you all think that you snort like horses or you cheep like chimpanzees, but it does not matter. Those are sometimes the body’s attempt to suppress this wonderful roiling, rolling, rocking energy; so it is constricting the voice just a little, the air passages. Relax and enjoy your laughter. Enjoy your body’s health,  allowing such a flow of love through you. How can it not be love, when everything is love?

We are following up on our communion, from a few days ago, with this introduction about laughter. We are also very interested in your conversation about why things happen the way they do and whether choice is involved or not involved, how your life plans come to fruition, how you align yourself with your plan or not your plan, where your resistance is, where your fears reside. All of these instances where discomfort comes up for you, in your lives, these are places where there is still some learning to be done, still some self-acceptance to be won, to be gained, to your greater comfort, to your greater peace.

So we offer that you are making these choices; you are making these choices with your Higher Self. There is nothing that comes to you [that] you have not chosen, on some level, and it is often the less conscious levels that are impelling the choosing. They are whispering in your ear “Choose this, choose this, choose this!” And you would like to say “Nooo, I don’t want to do that.”  You have asked for our guidance. You asked us before you were born “Please stay with me. Stay tightly to me, please! Don’t abandon me ever, ever, ever. Please tell me what to do. Please!”  And we agreed. 

We agreed to remind you who you are, the power of your own creatorship. Your thoughts manifest. Your choices manifest. You chose to be human. You chose to be- not perfect. You chose with compassion to understand life, from a point of view where you would experience additional pain, where you would experience some embarrassment, or you would experience old age. So do not curse the wrinkles. Do not put yourself down for the glorious creations you are becoming, day by day. It is a wonderful thing to see. Why is there such judgment still lingering? Because you are well used to it; it is rather ingrained. It would be nice to hang this out- like your laundry -and then forget to bring it back in!

We do so love playing with you. We do so love speaking with you. We have enjoyed these moments together tonight. In the interest of time we will pass the baton, so that [others] may have [their] moments of communion and the joy of feeling that flows through [their] own beings. Bless you all. We love you so dearly.

A Simple Choice

by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, Earth Wisdom, Humor & Play, light energy, spiritual guidance

Jennifer: Archangel Gabriel…

AAG: Gabriel-Gabrielle- whatever you enjoy hearing, speaking- call me anything you like, call me Joy for I am joy! It is my greatest pleasure showering you with sparkling bubbles, beautiful, iridescent, magical, golden bubbles. This is my way of being playful. There are many- I’m not limited to bubbles. 

But I would just come to affirm for you that one of the most potent ways that you can be prepared and, indeed, serve your brothers and sisters on the planet is through your playfulness and through your joy, because people do find it mildly attractive when others are having fun. Even if they are in the doldrums, they will say to themselves, ‘Oh, I would like to have fun too. I would like for my life to be lighter. I would like to enjoy more.’  They will feel a little sorry for themselves, perhaps, but they may realize that in fact all they have to do is choose to go forward and join the circle. 

It is a simple choice to choose joy. It is a simple choice to choose love. But one must sometimes get around the nest, the tangle, in one’s head of all the thoughts one has had, all the judgments one has had about those who have too good a time. And they’re committed to their very hard struggle through life. But as the energies lighten up as there is more and more going on. As there’s more and more changing, people will realize that it is possible to make this choice. It is that simple. And they will begin to be open to joy in surprising places. A chuckle here or there, or a funny joke, a good cartoon. 

You see, all of the avenues that you have in your world for lightheartedness, for wisdom entertaining as laughter, laughter is a great transmutation and you know this, you know how it has helped you tremendously in your lives and it continues to be brilliant for you. You see it as a brilliant material, just like your life vests, or your -what is it?-  noodles, that you play with in your pool. Laughter is a noodle – how’s that for a bumper sticker? So promote laughter, promote joy, promote fun. Promote the paradox of humor and wisdom. The wisdom of children, the beauty of laughter, the amazement of what’s amazing, the amazement of this incredible world that you live in! As our dear Francesco [teammate channeling St. Francis] has brought forward to you, the amazing beauty of the world that you live in —does it not bring you joy?

Yes, this one [Jennifer] enjoys social media because it is her great enjoyment to pass along and, sometimes, take pictures of surprising, amazing, beautiful moments in life, surprising amazing, beautiful things found on her walks. Take your camera! Begin to take pictures. You will see beautiful things. We’ll put them right in front of your eyes, if you like. She has a friend who is a tree, lives down the road. Every time she goes by she looks over at him, sees him smiling. He’s got a great big grin, two beady eyes, her friend the tree. 

You see, there are wondrous, wondrous things available to you in every moment. And if you use those as your nurturing, nurture yourself!  Fill yourself up with the beauty of those surprises that Gaia brings to you, that the Elementals bring to you, that we bring to you.  We love to craft with natural materials. Did you not know this? We do.

We are making heart rocks for you. We are making pictures in the clouds. We are bringing you untold amazement, but it’s up to you to take it in and use this as your platform, use this as your launch pad! 

Do not be in any way afraid to share with your brothers and sisters on what you call your social media. The whole fear factor is really blown way out of proportion. Truly. Where your heart goes, so will all the protection that you would ever need when you move in love, when your motivation comes from all that you are, with the desire to uplift, to serve, to share your light, your marvelous, extraordinary, individual lights, your witness of love.  If that is your motivation, never be afraid. You do not have to participate. But it is fun. It is another avenue for you to enjoy the sharing of that which uplifts you, because it will uplift,  uplift others. This builds a beautiful energy. So this is one way forward. If you choose it.  

You do know how to build energies. Day by day, one pair of eyes after another, you know how to build trust, you know how to build connection and there are many ways to further grow the radius of your contacts with your brothers and sisters. But I would suggest that you do not limit yourself to only that which you are most comfortable with. There may be some ideas that come to you that you are tempted to say ‘No, I don’t want to do that.’  But you may be, you may be being guided, by those of us who can see a little bit farther than you can, to an opportunity to expand your awareness, to expand your appreciation of the potential, the unlimited potential of every moment. So it is time to set your cautions to the side, to the extent that you can.  Let each day bring you – what it brings you. 

I am enjoying so much communing with your hearts. My words are not important at this point. It is really that I feel your hearts, I feel your love and I share mine,  so it is a moment of great joy and blessing. Thank you. Thank you for your open hearts. They radiate so beautifully. We can see them a long way off.

Meet us at Spirit Cafe!

by Jennifer, posted in Humor & Play, Lighthouse, Spirit Cafe, spiritual guidance

by Sue Scofield  

JOIN HERE

     It’s time again for Spirit Cafe, our place to gather with friends (and a cup of your favorite coffee or tea!) to open its doors and invite us in to chat about all things spiritual!  The doors will open this Saturday February 10th, at 11:00 am, EST, for an hour of spontaneous, heartfelt discussion about anything and everything connected to spirituality and to each other as Spirit having a physical experience. 

     If you’re unfamiliar with Spirit Cafe, it was born from the weekly gathering of my personal Spirit Family, Jen Donaldson, Adrienne Head, Rob Loveland and Paul Backes, together with our new Soul Sister, Roxanne Smith.  We comprise a Team of certified Council of Love Teachers and SpiritLife Coaches, but when we get together at Spirit Cafe we’re just us – friends who love to explore spirituality. 

  We meet practically every Saturday to plan webinars and classes, and to just plain enjoy each other’s company!  It often happens that during the course of a weekly “meeting”, we veer off course and get lost in spontaneous conversation about unrelated spiritual topics.  We LOVE when that happens!  In fact, we love it so much that I had the thought that we should create a platform that provides an opportunity for anyone who wanted to enter into conversation about the fascinating world of spirituality to have a way to do that, and Spirit Cafe was born! 

I say I had the thought to create Spirit Cafe, but it was truly a Spirit Family effort!  And we extend our hearts to you, along with our sincere invitation for you to join us this coming Saturday, the 10th of February, and the 2nd Saturday of every month.  We sometimes suggest a topic to start off with, but we always allow the freedom for our conversations to take us wherever they take us!  We hope you choose to grab your favorite “cuppa” and meet us at Spirit Cafe!
