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.

The Butterflies Begin To Speak

Jennifer’s Channeling of Yeshi, 24 Oct 2025

Many years ago, Jeshua/Yeshua spoke with me (and the others learning from him through an extraordinary channel, Lesley Michaels ) about the coming period of “Structure crumbling”. It puzzled me for years, what did he mean?? It was a little scary, frankly, but he reassured us that while “Structure” was no longer working well for us, we would simultaneously create new systems, flexible, living systems with values that recognized and adapted to meet the needs of all life on our planet. Now we are seeing the old structures falling apart everywhere and the beginnings of new ways of addressing our social needs, food systems, healthcare, even governance. This being the subject of our recent webinar: The Bridge to Nova Earth, I wanted to check in with Yeshua, during our channeling practice group 2 weeks ago, about the inner application of “Structure” that also needed to be re-visioned, and re-created, including our beliefs & habits. In this answer he was amazingly helpful, giving us the useful examples of eating and aging. Jennifer

Yeshi: Hello, all. This is a tall order to discuss Structure; it could easily be a year long study.

You will find that it may be helpful to have follow-up groups who are willing to meet on the topic of your webinar afterwards, just continuous one-offs. Come if you like … like your Spirit Cafe, dedicated to this, the letting go and the creating the new. You have bravely stepped forward to say, “I want to be part of this, consciously willing to be part of this. I know we can do it, but there is a great deal to understand.”

And as you were speaking of earlier, there is much that needs to be let go of. At the moment, you are trying to… imagine growing something new on old stock. It’s going to be more of a morphing. This is a better word for it, “So it was a broomstick; now it’s going to be a snake, ” Okay? Just an example of something having a certain purpose, a certain use, turning into something that is completely different, that has a new sense of life to it, and yet it adds to the richness of your experience on the planet.

You will find that you do not need to recreate and then just make minor adjustments, although this technique will be practiced, and you know, tried many, many times. You will find that your needs are actually changing.

It’s interesting that you were speaking [earlier] of your food substances and your taking in of light rather than food. This will become possible for many, and it will become much more common. It will become a choice. Do you feel like eating, or do you not feel like eating? What kind of thing do you want to eat? Do you want to eat something full of light? Do you want to eat something that has been created from a higher vibration to nourish you? Or are you wanting to dip your foot back into what you used to love and recreate for yourselves, or make it out of all of its ingredients the old fashioned way — your pizza, for example.

There will be varieties and variations in different vibrations, and it is up to you to choose how you choose to nourish yourselves and how it feels afterwards. The reason why you are having stomach aches is, frankly, your vibration no longer matches the vibration of that which you are purchasing. So if you were to make it yourself or purchase carefully through a slightly different method, a store that will make you an alternative, for example, or a bakery who is aware of some of the alternatives, you will find this to be much easier on your stomach. Your stomach, your physical body, is now vibrating at a faster rate in general. And so you have some of these stomach upsets, and you have some of these problems digesting things. It is not age, per se.

The old ones are experiencing this too, and so they have claimed this, fully, saying, “Oh, well, it’s my age.” Well, it’s also your vibration. Your vibration is increasing. And people who are entirely unconscious that their vibration is increasing won’t be able to speak of it in the same way as those of you who are, but it is happening nonetheless. You are all increasing in vibration.

Those of you who embrace it wholeheartedly and have dived deeply into the new and the existence of all that you are beginning to create, you are the leaders. You are going first. You are the leading edge.

So there will continue to be supported a great spectrum of experience upon the Earth. But the leading edge will be choosing from that which is lighter, that which is more flexible, that which is gentler on your systems, your physical metabolic systems, digestive system, that sort of thing, and those things that will be more gentle to your Earth, to the planet herself. Yes, you are finding better alternatives for something simple, like sunscreen. You’re finding better alternatives for your soaps. You are using less toxic materials. This has been going on now for years, and it is a very good thing. And it is becoming more and more and more common. Yes, but people need to be interested, and they need to be flexible in their thinking.

So of course, we could enjoy delivering several webinars on this topic! [NOTE: More to come I’m sure on this discussion… but for now, we end on a lighter note, about life in the 5th Dimension.)

Jennifer: Thank you, Yeshua! I’d also like to know what this vision I had this morning of the butterflies being willing to be our memes, our living memes, or little billboards on wings and sending messages to us, what does that mean?

Yeshua: Let us just say that it is another example of where you are beginning to channel the intelligence of the other creatures on the planet. You are becoming more sensitive to it. The birds will speak to you in different ways. And certainly the butterflies you see, this is a way that you are communicating with the butterfly species as far as their consciousness. It is as though each one is governed by a leader, by a diva, a spirit, a group mind, and you are personifying it as this butterfly that is showing up with messages for you. So enjoy.

It is a lovely thing to play with, and it certainly is part of your fifth dimensional enjoyment, recreation, artwork. Just play! It is part of the play, the play of your divinity. You do not need to patent it for anything structured. Just let it play.

Thank you for these moments. We will see you soon. Again, with great love, this is Yeshua.
