Life in 5-D – A Lighthouse for the Soul

Note: lately I was told, in no uncertain terms, to take some time off (see AA Gabrielle’s message below)… that is very hard for me to do, but i took two nights and a day this week… went to the beach and lay down for a couple of hours… It was hugely restorative. I will be doing more of that this summer… and I hope you will, too.

Rest, recharge, restore your peace, your strength, your optimism and your ability to be so present for others & our beautiful planet… Love, Jen

Channeling AA Gabriel, June 5, 2026

Jen: I’m just sitting in my heart feeling the infinity loops twirling back and forth, side to side, up and down, in and out, hither and yon, just centering. I would ask Gabriel, beloved, to sit with me and ease my heart about the experiences I’ve been having lately ~ the difficulties or obstacles, choppiness, just turbulence… even meditation is really difficult lately. Doors keep banging. I want to sink into a submersion bathtub chamber with heavy walls, [where I would] hear nothing.

AAG: This is Gabriel. You are ripe for a retreat.

This is exactly the experience you will remember from now on that indicates to you that you are ready for some quiet, some downtime, some space, some rest. You have been going 100 miles an hour for a very long time. It is fine to have a half a day of rest, [but] this is not enough at this point.

You need to take a few days off, walk by the ocean, dip your toes in the water, go up to your knees, jump in all the way -it does not matter- but you need time alone and time in the peace and harmony that is given to you for this nurturing of the energies as they are experienced within you. Then you, of course, see them outside of you.

So, working again from the outside to the inside, if you change what it is you’re experiencing, seeing, in your daily life for a few days, you will find that there is greater harmony within you. It is possible to work the equation from both directions.

Certainly, it is a guide to you that what you see without and around you is a reflection of what is within you, but also it is a useful mechanism for you to understand that if you change what is outside of you, that will often bring about that shift that you are looking for within you.

There will always be the press of life upon life. There will always be shared experiences, some of which are pleasant and some of which are annoying or irritating. You live in a crowded world with one another, on top of one another, we would say. Certainly surrounded by and with all of your personal desires to be connected with so many, you are naturally going to feel the interruptions and …it’s not always going to come at the right time, so you will sometimes feel irritated, or you will feel overwhelmed. There may be many claims upon your attention at the same time. You will have various other kinds of challenges.

We can tell you that in fact your internet is being an enormous group reflection of the chaos within, within humanity. You are all seeking clarity. You are all seeking the calm in the eye of the storm. And yes, it is a storm, sometimes a sunny one, but energetically you are in the midst of the storm.

There is debris flying around you. There are those things which get lodged within your own personal energy field, which are unwelcome. It is going to assist you, behoove you, help you, and ultimately heal you to remember that you have choices.

And if the circumstances in any given day are difficult, take at least a moment and reconnect with Mother Earth, reconnect with the representation of Divine Mother, which is most closely available to you in your environment. Put your feet upon the grass, put your toes in the water, put your fingers in the air. Allow your eyes to be bathed in the beauty of natural wonder.

Does this feel that it will be assisting to you?

Jen: Indeed, for sure.

AAG: So, what would prevent you from choosing this so clearly and directly?

Jen: Well, it seems that each day has more in it than I can possibly accomplish, so I am caught on a hamster wheel of my own making.

AAG: Yes, and it can be your unmaking as well, and you can unmake it. So dismantle it little by little. See it as not being made of metal, not being made of wood, not being made of anything solid, but being made instead of grass, being made instead of cobwebs, being made instead of light beams. See this wheel that you are playing upon- rather insistently- as being gossamer, gentle, fun.

And if you will remember to envision it differently, you will find that indeed it is changing substance, it is rising in vibration, and it will no longer trouble you. It may recur again, in which case, you remember: re-envision what you are experiencing. Tell yourself a new story. Describe your current experience in a new way, and it will follow.

Life will follow your creation, because your life is what you have created for yourself, and, you collectively have created for yourselves. So to the degree that you wish to participate within the collective creation, enjoy! If it is no longer enjoyable, now you know what to do.

Go within the quiet temple within your own heart, where all is peaceful and all is sweet, and when you are refreshed, emerge again, and it will be a new day. Great blessings to you, my dear, and to each one in your team of friends, soul friends, heart friends. Farewell for now.

Jennifer: So I’m relaxing in my little unicorn floaty again and then it turned into riding on a unicorn. [I have a unicorn higher dimensional friend named Ukiel.]

We’re kind of sailing around in the skies behind Rob’s lighthouse there [Rob had a zoom screen with a lighthouse photo].

So I’m feeling Mother Mary, I’ve been getting you a lot, Mama.

Mother Mary: Yes, my love, we are most pleased to be the one invited today.

I do speak with you, in your heart, and you have been drawn more and more to my presence and to be present for me, for others.

In answer to your questions, the workshop idea is excellent. There are many who struggle with learning to meditate and what will work, and for you to try a variety of things and have people collect them and then decide what they want to use, and also invite them to invent for themselves what makes the most sense for them at that time.

The main thing is to take the time away from your usual rushing around, and all of you do rush around, and those who don’t rush around physically, rush around mentally.

So the main point is to stop the rushing around. Take the few deep breaths and lie back in your beach chair. Let the waves lap on your toes. Listen to the seagulls and rest. Rest in your own beingness, and that is where you allow space for guidance.

Meditation is one of those practices that we are expanding greatly and we are promoting on the planet for all of your benefit. There have been a great many people involved in this movement toward making meditation mainstream.

Now [second question], as for why is everyone falling apart— and are we putting them back together?

So, we are well aware that this is an important tool in your ascension process. It is an important skill to practice. So have fun dreaming of this and doing the writing involved and speaking to people about it. I think it will be very helpful.

We are supporting you very much in this. [Watch for more on this upcoming workshop soon!]

This is part of the process. At this point in time, many people are reaching a point of congestion in their energies, and so they will precipitate some kind of incident to bring about a re-set, such as your friend has experienced. They will precipitate, with their higher selves and their guides, a set of circumstances which will lift them into a new way of being.

And each of you are looking to the others as a little bit alarmed. “Oh my dear, my, this one is falling down.” “Oh my dear, this one is falling down.” Think of it as: This one is falling through, falling through the veils, lifting into, paradoxically, falling down and being lifted up into a higher vibration.

In every single case, the one experiencing the incident, or the crisis, or the challenge, is being lifted into the next stage of their own human adventure.

And of course, it is going to be an upgrade.

Yes, not just a reset, but an upgrade.

Now, not all of you need to go through something like this. Some of you have already gone through this. Rob mentioned his brush with Lyme, his – well, shall we call it an “entrapment”? It was more than a brush. It was rather a long incident for him, but he came through it, and he was, in effect, rewired and ready for this stage in his development. And it has been a most fruitful stage, has it not, Rob? See?

So, you see, these are the opportunities embedded within what seems like a rather fraught experience. And it does push all your buttons, but it also discharges any energy behind the button mechanism, if you will follow my analogy. Here it is, as though all of your touchy points, all of your —well you call them “buttons” — are actually…

Jennifer: I’m getting a thing like a spark plug and a something going on in a car…

Mother Mary: …which you [Jennifer] don’t have the language for. But one thing sets off something else, which then discharges something else, to get something going.

This is how this works for each of you, and it is in your best interest always. Of course, your buttons, as you call them, serve to hold on to a lot of energy, and do not always function in the most blessed of ways.

Now, if you will see any growth incident as a blessing, you are then using the button mechanism to grow by leaps and bounds. Each one is opening doors for you, opening windows, paving a new pathway, putting a bicycle in your path, a brand new, shiny one!

Each of these incidents of emotional outburst or awareness of something that is not working, if you will pay attention to it and feel it and ask for the guidance around “Where is the blessing?” “Where is the nut meat in the cracking of this nut? Because all I’m feeling is the cracking,” then you will get to the point where you treat every moment of your life as being full of blessing for you.

And just keep asking yourself, “Where’s the next blessing? Here it is —it’s this insight, it’s this hug, it’s this pair of eyes, it’s this email from a friend.” And even when someone sends you a message that was not what you were looking for, there is a blessing. There is a blessing.

And if it isn’t for you, immediately, then it is for the other and so you can say, “Well, there was a blessing there. It was mostly for the other person. So I participated, and it was my honor to participate,” and there is the blessing.

You cannot lose with this method. Watch for your blessings. You will all be blessed continuously, I might add.

Do you have your eyes open? Do you have your ears open? Do you have your heart open? Is your mind functioning to assist your growth?

It has been my very wondrous pleasure to be present with you today. Thank you.

Jennifer: Oh, thanks!! [To teammates] I felt her energy so strongly today.
