We’d like to offer the opportunity to Mother Earth, Gaia, to speak with you for a few moments, that which she would like to offer in this time. She is very busy with caring for all of you, but she also relishes the opportunity to find a human voice who will open to a message she might like to relay. We will change places. Just a moment.
Mother Earth:
A joyous, rainy day to you, I am buoyant, spinning with joy to bring forward a few words to welcome you as my Daughters of the Earth. I feel your love. I feel each footfall, you who have already grown so greatly in the light, so greatly in the love within your hearts.
Do not worry if you still have questions. Do not worry if you do not define yourselves as holy. You are by your very nature, defined “Daughters of the One” and in your feminine representation, you also carry the perfect balance of the masculine, capable and able to take action, to inspire others and to protect all that you love.
I am grateful for the moments when you notice beauty in the physical world. This is a representation of the Divine Beauty; it is a third dimensional representation. Divine Beauty occurs wherever there is imagination. And all that you see in this world has been created by Divinity, which you share. You do share divinity ~ we know this is a surprise for many.
I enjoy a physical level. I enjoy my oceans, my rocks, my lava, my rainstorms, my thunder. I enjoy all of the physical expressions, breath of wind, which circulates and imbues every living thing with oxygen. I enjoy everything from the molecular level, and tinier, to the great, big, huge, wondrous ball of Planet that I am. It is a great honor for me to host, hold, nurture, feed and love all of Life on my surface.
We know that many of you worry about Me, many of you fear that I will be overcome. How can I be overcome when I am surrounded with such Divinity? If it were to be that the course has been run and finished for my planetary life, I would accept this and Life would move into a new form. Life does not get extinguished, only the physical representation.
But I am happy to tell you, we are not choosing this. We are choosing instead, to trust the love in the hearts of humanity, to trust the Sacred Hearts of all living creatures, to trust the consciousness that holds all the minerals, the waters, the air, the atmosphere – all that desires to evolve into a brighter and faster and sweeter, more harmonious expression.
And we are doing this together. We are doing this whether you’re conscious of this or not conscious of this. Your heart longs for this. Is that not so? And we know your hearts. We know your hearts because we are connected through the spheres that Mother talked of. It is in the physical that you can forget that you are connected.
Remember each one of you, if you feel disconnected from each other, if you feel disconnected from the Father-expression, if you feel disconnected from this group or that group, remember, put your toe in my water, walk upon my paths, lie upon my grass, breathe my air.
You are connected to me, and since I am connected to all others, all will be well.
I will conclude my words at this time. But do remember, I will not conclude our connection, because that is not possible.

Hi Everyone, we want to invite you to join us for Spirit Cafe, our free monthly discussion of spirituality!
This time the topic will be: Self, Selfishness and Service…
Much to mull over and share as we gather to elevate our everyday experience to the highest vibe we are each discovering, what our host Sue calls the 40,000 foot perspective!
We will discuss levels of the self/Self (earthly self & Higher Self) how they manifest in our moments, how attending to the self/Self may be perceived – even by us- as selfishness, and how to transmute that judgement.
Finally, we’ll share the basis and expression of service in our lives in relation to how we see and nurture our s/Selves. A quick glimpse of that may be: going inward with our focus to then connect and refill, so as to have the capacity to pour out… how does that work for you?
We learn so much from each other through these discussions and from all of you who join us as well. Our Cafes are a reunion of friends, a learning opportunity and our hearts’ service to each other and our s/Selves…
There’s more information and a link on our Spirit Cafe page.
PS Recently our Spirit Cafe offering received a beautiful new image on the Council of Love’s website calendar— pictured above— thank you Isaac!
Note: In our channeling group there was a lot of moaning about the “energies,” so we took it higher up… Mother never disappoints and things have been smoother since. 🙂 <3
Jen to Mother Mary: Please explain to me why things have been so chaotic lately, to where I’ve had trouble keeping my balance.
Mother Mary: Greetings to this group. This is Mary, the Mother Mary. I’m delighted to come to speak with you through this one. I am with you. Of course, I am with each of you. I am closer than you know, being part of Divine Mother and her energies imbuing you through the physical representation of the aspect of me that is Mother Earth.
This has been a most challenging time, has it not? Yes, just as the events in your world are chaotic, in terms of what you see on headlines and in the news, so too are the energies on your world chaotic. It is attributable to solar flares, to some degree, it is also attributable to the unsettled and unpeaceful energies of all of humanity and you [Jennifer] being empathic, are noticing the agitation, noticing the difficulty people are having in elevating themselves and in maintaining a positive viewpoint.
It is also attributable to the fact that you are where you are in your cycle of the year. You are aware of this. It is wise to allow extra space in your daily life at this time to not over-schedule yourself. It will seem compelling to fit in one more thing, but it would be wiser for you if you had a period of activity for an hour or two, and then a period of inactivity for an hour or two. Or should we say, “Me” activity, the activity that you choose that is restorative to you, rather than the taking care of someone else or taking care of the goals that you have to be, well, let us just say goals. Goals themselves can be terribly draining.
You are ready to begin to allow us to move you through your days in alignment with the love that you yourself crave and wish to share. You are ready to allow us to fill the schedule rather than you attempting to remain on track, on task, in harness to your ideals—and we do not criticize your ideals. We understand perfectly, but we also do not want to witness you compelling yourself.
Allow the energies to serve you, and many of the so called prickles – another allusion would be: the knap being rubbed the wrong way- a lot of this disturbance, this friction, as you pass along through your day, will dissipate greatly, and you will find yourself moving in greater comfort.
In greater comfort, but this means being aware that you can’t be pushing, you can’t be trying, you can’t be working, and you cannot always meet another’s requests of you. So, you can find ways to decline gracefully. You can find ways to postpone. You can find ways to come up with a partial solution which is more honoring of yourself.
And we would offer this to all of you, that you begin to allow the greater flow, the flow of the Tao, of Divine Energy to be what moves you through your day, and a little less of the efforting.
To put it simply, try this. See how it feels. We think you will like it. Farewell for now and blessings to each of you.

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.
Cartoon by Jennifer Donaldson, 2023
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.
Here is Part 2 of the February Channeling Event with Yeshua & Mary Magdalen channeling as one voice. I mistakenly posted part 3 yesterday, and am now correcting the order. Enjoy the bonus read! Such a huge help to have their perspective in these topsy turvy times. Don’t give up hope! Love, Jen
There is much to know about what is going on now. We will give you a brief synopsis.
There is a quickening of vibration that is affecting all of the planet, and some are feeling this as excitement, and some are feeling this as as a swarm of bees within them, around them, in front of them, in their news, you see? So each of you is responding differently to the higher vibrations, but the higher vibrations are a natural process in the choice of ascension, which was made by you as a human collective, by all of the kingdoms present on the planet and by the Mother Planet herself. All of you together have said “Enough.”
Some of you are aware of this declaration of intention to evolve into greater peace, into greater joy, greater play, greater delight, greater contentment, greater awareness, greater commitment to the connection that you have to one another and to an honoring of your Source. Many of you are aware of this. Many of you are aware of it during your dream time, when you are sitting with your guides and your teachers, when you remember. And many of you have not yet remembered this, or feel that it is quite new and alien and uncomfortable, because you have such a diversity of humanity, and you are, in many ways, the leaders of this civilization, because you have created it.
And because you are carrying such beautiful diversity, it requires an enormous amount of patience to accept each person in their own place, in their own stage of growing, as perfect just as they are. You have each threaded your way through civilizations in many parts of the galaxies, and you have not always been the ones who were most aware. Sometimes you have been the ones who were least aware. But this is not to create a hierarchy.
And as you know, if you offer your patience, your acceptance, your refusal to judge, you also can access your trust that each one of you, each one of you, will arrive in your own perfect timing into participating in this dream of Mother Earth to house you again, in your purity, in your innocence, in your glory.
You are such creative minds and hearts; your intuition and your imagination are your treasures. So just keep on dreaming, keep on dreaming this beautiful dream, because it is creating it. What you hold dear in your heart is visible collectively to all of you.
It is as though there were a sphere and it were completely hollow. And then there is a workshop [at the bottom] and [there] you are all busy making patches, beautiful patches, beautiful squares and triangles and hexagons and pieces of all sizes and colors, and you run up and you plant it somewhere on the inside of the sphere. Little by little, the colors are developing. Little by little, the ideas are coming together and the shapes are fitting together, and you are creating scenarios.
You are creating new ways of being together, of coming together, of interacting with one another. You are creating new ways to move about, to communicate, such as this one we are enjoying now. Some of these are things that you are already living with. Some of these are things you are still piecing together. But can you imagine that this is your creation together? When you are finished pasting all of these little bits of color all over the inside of the sphere, you will find yourselves in a new creation. That is what you are involved in now, a new creation, and we are here to assist you in any way we can. We are most excited for you.
You asked the Mother, “We have a dream. We have something we would like to go and do. Can we go and do this now?” And the Mother gathered you together, gave her blessing and said, “Of course, you are my children. I want you to be happy.” And you all are creating a world where you can not only be happy yourselves, but you can create the circumstances whereby each one of you can step into a greater sense of well being, of ease, of abundance.
Yes, but before this can happen— you do know this, but we speak it for everyone— before this can happen, the thoughts and the fears that have suppressed this beautiful vision have to come to the surface for you to notice, and then you can say, “Ah, that’s what’s been holding me back. I was afraid. I carried this fear for many lifetimes: that I would be left behind, that I would be abandoned, that I would shrivel and die and no one would care. I carried this fear for a very long time, but I no longer believe this fear.
No. I will write it on the tag on a tea bag, and I will compost it in my compost pile. I don’t want that thought anymore. I don’t want it to hold me back and I just don’t want to carry it anymore, so I’m going to compost it.”
You can do this with any of your feelings, any of your fears, anything that you have outgrown and are no longer interested in supporting.
Now, we would like to turn the time over to questions. You may continue with a question that is related to what we have been discussing, or it may be a question that seems purely personal to you, but it is in some way niggling at you. It is something that you would like to settle within your mind.
Chaos or Peace?Part 3 of the February channeling event. Trying to make sense of it all… Yeshua and Mary channeled this answer together. I hope it helps…
Sue: I guess I was wondering this: we so often see and hear and are exposed to all the chaos, as you mentioned, that circulates around the planet at this time. But it’s been my belief, and I was wondering if this is correct, but there is a much greater proportion of people who are seeking peace and whose intention is peace, much, much more so than those who are desiring to keep chaos alive and well on the planet. Is that correct? Is there a much greater percentage of people who are in a good place, as opposed to a chaotic place?
Yeshua & Mary Magdalen: Yes, you are all reacting at different levels, at different times, as well, but you are all reaching for a greater degree of harmony. The desire for peace is strong in a great majority of you. There are very few who you could actually say the desire is to continue the chaos, whether it be for profit or it be for merely to continue a downward spiral, which has been a habitual movement for quite a long time.
And as I said earlier, as we said, there is always the respect for the free will of each of you, even one who chooses to continue to spiral into a more fragmented place. Many of you are coming back into wholeness within yourselves, and you are also reaching out to one another. You are reaching your hands side-to-side, front and back, above and below. You are wishing to connect with all others on the planet in harmony, in a creation of a better world, a more joyful place for all the kingdoms of life. Yes, this is true. You are all deeply committed to this process. This is why it is moving forward so quickly.
However, consciously, there are still many who are clinging to habits of thought which include judgment, which include fear of their own survival, which include nostalgia for an earlier time which felt safer. You see, you have strong habits of thought and belief which will take some time to relax. And when enough of you — let us say, 63% — have created an alternative, which seems safe, which seems enjoyable, which seems exciting, then more of the others will let go of their too tight, still uncomfortable, but [committed] ways of thinking.
Many of you have learned to relax, away from doom-thinking or fear-based practices. You are beginning to become more proficient in spotting those thoughts that you have which are being manipulated, intentionally manipulated, by a few who enjoy it. It is like the one on the playground who loves to go and step in the puddle that the others are enjoying watching. You may be clustered around a beautiful little pool and watching some of the clarification happen and some reflection and some beauty, maybe some tiny life has caught in there, or is moving in an interesting way, and this one child will come up with his rubber boots and stick his foot right into the puddle. You see, it is not deliberate malice. It is merely immaturity.
You are coming to maturity as a group of souls, yes, but it is a continuum.
Sue: Thank you.
Y&MM: You would not be succeeding as well as you were if there were not so many hearts joined together, truly, on this higher level, the level that you are capable of feeling now. When you are out on your boat, when you are walking through a meadow, when you are meditating, when you hear a songbird, when you pet your animal, when you make a new friend, when you do something kind for another person, your heart zings. You feel the joy!
This will become more and more contagious. Joy is contagious. And when you cannot find your joy, look for humor, look for paradox, look for soothing, look to your children, and you will realign with your joy.
Art and Channeling by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, 2/22/2026
This is the first part of the transcript from the Peace & Love Channeling Event I held on the 22nd of last month. Enjoy! Love, Jen
Jennifer:
I’ve invited Yeshua and Mary Magdalene today to speak with us, to give us some perspective on how to be the peace in this tumultuous world, and especially during the times when we ourselves have trouble finding our center, because it’s only by being in our own light, in our own centers, that we can be the light for others, and then we can show the way to peace. It’s not going to be “out there” until it’s “in here” for enough of us.
This morning, while I was meditating, I got this beautiful image of the an orb like the sun, but it wasn’t huge like that, and it wasn’t hot, but it was beautiful like that, and it just fell right out of the sky and fell into the most beautiful, serene, glassy pond. This pond was in a place surrounded by trees and nature, kind of hidden in the woods. And this beautiful orb dropped into the pond, and the water splashed up around it in this corona of water. If you’ve ever seen a drop of water splash into a still plane of water, it makes this beautiful crown. Each tip of the crown forms a little drop, and then it all subsides. And the orb fell into the water and went down into the depths, into the darkness, and it brought light there, and it glowed.
And on the surface of the pond, the ripples were going out in concentric circles, first just a few feet, and then more and more and more, rippling slowly and gently toward the edges of the pond. And when it reached the edges of the pond, it leapt into the air and it moved through the grasses and through the trees, and it spread out everywhere, and it’s still spreading. Then up from the bottom of the pond emerged this hand, this great hand, and it was clutching a chalice, holding it, and the chalice was brimming over with the beautiful clear pond water. There was great abundance and great joy, and in the middle of the cup was the orb, the sun. And as the cup was lifted up high, the sun slipped out and moved back into the sky.
For me, this is a symbol of our wholeness and the ripples, a symbol of our connectedness, and the water, the medium that allows us to be connected to care for one another and to care for and love this Earth, our home, our Mother, So Father Sky and Mother Earth had this little dance. So feel, feel it now dropping into your heart and the waves rippling out, and you can hold that orb in the chalice of your heart as long as you want. When you’re ready, you can release it, so that the light of it glows upon all, All That Is.
So I’ll be quiet for a moment until I feel Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, and then they will begin their message. Then after, we’ll have time for questions.
Yeshua/Jeshua:
Welcome. This is Yeshua. I’m most pleased to be present for you today. I am most grateful for this opportunity to be among you, to sit with you, and to be able to see each other’s faces in this wondrous way. It is not a technology you even dreamed of fifty years ago, and yet, here you are, able to see much more than you thought you could see, feel much more than you thought you could feel, expand your circles of friends, find your tribe around the world, feel your hearts beat together.
It is my great pleasure to be present with you. Mary is here also. As many of you know, we are inseparable, and we often act as one. But I wished to come forward to say hello. Now we will give Mary a turn.
Mary Magdalene:
Greetings, my friends. I am so glad for this moment, this moment of joy, this moment of communion, this moment of love. We come to you on the vibration of love, and we settle into your hearts, for those who wish to open the doors. Of course, we would not push our way in. We are committed to being a very gentle influence, and we will not go where we are not making someone more comfortable with themselves, more content with their life. Yes, it is always your choice. We like to remind you of your free will choice, because this sort of opportunity is a blessing that comes through your choice, your willingness to open and your willingness to play in this way.
This was a way that we learned in ancient times. There were always those who were not in physical form who were teachers to us. This was true in Atlantis. This was true in Egypt. Of course, in Lemuria, you were closer to being able to slip in and out of form yourselves. But we did retain the technology, the inner alignments, so that we could pass this along to subsequent generations. And most of you were involved in such learnings in early times. There was a time when Yeshua and I visited the planet as teachers. We would be invited in a situation such as this, or even a larger circle, and we would appear.
Now you do have your, known as, “psychics”, the ones who can see the energy. And then you have those who are able to sense the energies. And then you have those of you who are here purely in a state of trust and a knowing deep within you that we have been your teachers before, and we are happy to be so again, for a short while or a longer while, whatever you choose.
Today, we are having tea together. We are having a little time to converse, to support one another, because you do support us. Your love is integral to the whole, your bit of love is an important piece of the puzzle. Your energy is shaped in such a way that when you are not present, there is a little hole there that is kept for you. You see, no one else is like you. Each of you has your own song to sing, your own expression of divine grace through the life that you are.
We are here together to support one another, as I was saying, to be together for the joy of being together. It is that simple. But humans beings, in the state you are of remembering your sacred knowings of what is truth, what is enduring, what is everlasting, you are remembering and may not always have the answers. You are full of questions.
Now you can find those answers when you meditate, when you write down your questions and sleep upon them, either literally or figuratively, you will find your guidance stronger and stronger as the years go by, but we are here to support you.
I am pausing because we have decided to present together as one voice, and it takes just a few moments for Jennifer to adjust to this.
Yeshua & MM Together:
We may proceed. The theme for today being peace, how do you find your peace in the tumult of the waves that you find yourselves in on your planet? It is as though the very earth is bouncing up and down, and so many are clamoring “Truth!” “Falsehood!” “This one did this!” “This one did that!” It is a great clamor and can be very upsetting to your inner peace.
So seek out your center. Seek out that little cave that Jennifer referred to that is within your heart. Turn your little flashlight on. You will find the answers painted on the walls. You will find the vibrations ready to ease whatever it is that is discomforting to you. There are many energies bouncing against each other.
… Have you seen the parachute, where a group of people will stand around the edges of it and they will begin to rattle it up and down? All the way around, this enormous parachute is going like this (demonstrates with arms going up and down). This is your world at this time. If you can sit serenely in the middle of these waves, you are in a most helpful and wondrous place.
It is a miracle that you have found yourself so strong and so bright, so full of essence. You have expanded yourselves to allow in the divine essence that you are, and that essence is expanding you. You did not know you were larger in diameter than you were ten years ago? But you are! Yes, we see you as much brighter and much more confident in your ability to walk this world with the purpose that you came for, the purpose of being one of the settled ones, one who could trust deeply in the progress of these times.
(To Be Continued…)
Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, South Portland, Maine, US, on February 22nd, 2026.
On Sunday, I am going out on a limb, with trust, surrender and allowing… And I’m inviting anyone who might be interested to join me in the exquisite energy created by channeling.
It’s an amazing process, unfamiliar to many still, whereby the Channel — in this case me –centers, balances, opens and invites one or more of their guides, teachers & celestial friends to communicate. It’s as natural as calling someone on the phone. On Sunday, I am inviting Yeshua and Mary Magdalen to join their spirits, their energies, with mine. Within a few moments, I will feel them in my upper body – crown, mind, face, throat, high heart and heart centers – filling me with a peaceful, golden vitality that feels wondrous.
They come to visit — to hug, encourage, inspire, enlighten, take our questions, lift up our worries & fears, heal our suffering, fill us with hope, energize us with the higher perspective of our progress in human form and generally soak us in love.
If you’ve never been to a live channeling, it’s a lot like a combination of your first time falling in love, swimming in the ocean on a sunny summer day and climbing a mountain to look at the 360 degree views, only the experience is FELT emotionally and sustained through intuition, imagination, trust and, mostly, through love. I center in my heart, my love, my deep love for these two teachers and connect to their love for me, for all of us and for Mother Earth. From there we feel/know/remember our connection to Universal LOVE, All That Is, the LOVE that WE ARE.
After that, we can talk about anything!! One of the most amazing things I’ve learned from channeling is that they get us, they understand, they clearly have been observing us and they care!! Their assistance with our questions is thoughtful, profoundly kind and sublimely wise. It’s fascinating how they take our human tangles and gently, patiently comb them out and then braid us into a new level of knowing ourselves. After channeling, I just want to melt into my knees and jump for joy at the same time!!
Discussing this in public has not always been safe in our world, and some of you may stop reading now… but for me, there is no place safer. To know Divine Love is the goal of every spiritual path, but the path has been controlled by the Established Church for so long, we still tend to deny or hide this most precious part of ourselves. Why is this? As though anyone, by ridicule or unbelief or judgement, could steal it from us! It even sounds silly, and yet most people still avoid it or shy away. We can talk about everything else in this day and age, why not the wonder and pleasure of our own innate divinity?
All the spiritual masters of all time say we are Love, because there is nothing but Love —but it may take us a few thousand lifetimes to understand that. The mind may boggle to feel/know/remember ourselves as Divine Essence, but the body understands, the feelings dance and the heart sings.
So if you’d like to join us in person, or join our on-line room with my Zoom Brother – Rob, you can get the zoom link HERE, and more details on our Current Events page.
If not this week, then another time… I’m always open to one-one-one sessions.
Meanwhile… dream of All that you are, it’s the best dream there is.
This article written by Rob Loveland recently appeared in the Council of Love’s newsletter. We have all been captivated by the 112 day walk of the Buddhist monks from TX to DC. Not just their powerful gesture and its inherent dedication but the response, the hunger for peace among all the ordinary people who witnessed this extraordinary act of love and endurance. Our team at A Lighthouse for the Soul is eager to get together and discuss this on Saturday Feb. 21- details below… please come!
Peace & Love,
Sue, Adrienne, Roxanne, Rob, Jen & Martin
Are You Following the Walk For Peace?
Since October 2025, a group of Buddhist monks have been walking 2300 miles across the United States, from Ft Worth, TX, to Annapolis, MD, to raise awareness of inner peace and mindfulness. The monks are on day 109 of the 120-day trek, currently visiting the monuments in Washington, D.C. They were even joined for a time by their loyal dog, Aloka! Many find their story very inspirational, especially given the unusually cold winter, so they are clearly achieving their intended purpose.
Regardless of whether you have been following the Walk For Peace journey (which can be done on-line at https://www.facebook.com/walkforpeaceusa), the question before you is, are you following your own path of peace? As the global political system continues to show itself to be so polarized, are you staying within that place of peace, that place beyond being sucked into the fray, where each side tries to convince the other that they are right. From the Divine Mother’s perspective, does it really matter?
This is what we would like to discuss at Saturday’s Spirit Cafe. We are sure you have valuable suggestions for how you’re dealing with the chaos to find that inner peace. Please join us to share your wisdom, to learn something, and to enjoy the company of like-minded souls.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21st, 11 am – 12 pm EST (New York time)
Rob: Welcome Lao Tzu. My question is, how do we reconcile this idea of not getting wrapped up in external events, almost to the point of not caring. But it’s not really not caring. Of course we care. So how do we care without caring?
Lao Tzu: Greetings, all. It is my honor to be with you today, in this setting, within your circle, as you contemplate the deeper experiences of life, the meaning behind all that you experience. These are questions that everyone must grapple with at some point in their journey. So of course, all of us are so proud of the progress you are all making.
It is an interesting question, is it not? How do you go through life, filled with compassion for others, while at the same time recognizing it’s not your role to be involved in all that others are experiencing for themselves. And I would suggest to you that it is, in fact, an act of very deep caring [and] compassion to allow others to experience what they came to experience.
It may not be your path. You may look upon the events as something you would never choose for ANY society that would experience love and ask yourself, “Why would you do that?! How does that make the world a better place?”
But it is all for a purpose, so your act of compassion is to allow others to experience what they came to experience. Let them choose for themselves. If you go through life trying to control how others behave, how others think, what others believe, where is the caring in that? That would be you trying to impose your will on another. That’s not exhibiting a care for them. That’s, again, you trying to exert your control based on YOUR beliefs, based on your understanding within your own journey. They have theirs; you have yours, so allow them to be.
As your teammate said, let it be, not in an uncaring way, but with the mindset that you care enough for them to let them be who they are. Approach all events that occur to you in your life from that perspective. THAT is the loving response.
The only force in the universe that truly matters is love. Ask yourself every day, what is the loving response to anything that you see? If it does not feel like love, whatever it is that you witness, and you say to yourself, “I don’t see the love in that,” then choose, choose that that is NOT the way that you want to go.
And as you constantly come back, within your own heart, to that feeling of love for ALL that you see, exhibiting that caring enough to allow it to unfold as it must, then you will find that all that you see will change. It will morph. It will transition … perhaps slower than you would desire, but again, let it be. Let it proceed at the pace that it needs to proceed to bring as many along as the Divine Plan calls for.
[I recently read a channeling of the Arcturian Group by Marilyn Raffaele in which they talked about a recurring habit of attempting to exert control — it really smacked me in the face, so my teammates and I talked about it, at which point I decided to ask Archangel Uriel about it. — Rob]
Rob: Uriel, maybe you could give us some thoughts, in order to proceed on our ascension journey, on what is the role of releasing all sense of control, whether we need to release it and how we do that? The Arcturian Group message clearly resonated with me, so there’s something there for me, I know. So do you have anything to share in that regard?
AA Uriel: Greetings, Rob. Greetings, all. This is Uriel, as you’ve requested. And you honor me with your request, and I thank you for that.
You’ve been mulling over this question in your mind for a couple of days now, and I commend you for the honesty that you are showing within yourself to look at yourself critically, your own behaviors, your own thoughts, your own beliefs. But what does it mean to control?
It is true that the ultimate entry way, doorway to the next levels within ascension, within the ascension process, all comes down to how well you can express unconditional love, first and foremost, to yourself, for yourself. And that, of course, is reflected by your feelings about all others [and] all that you see, for all that you see is merely a reflection of what is inside of you.
It is a construct that you have put there to show you what is going on with inside of you, experiences that you choose to have in order to eliminate one part of your belief system or another, so that you may examine that and decide what is it that I want from this point. Do I believe in my belief system? Is that correct? Is that the way I want to be in the future?
All experiences enable you to see what lives within you, and you know what lives within you based on your emotional reaction to whatever it is that you’re witnessing.
The idea that was introduced to you about releasing all sense of control is exactly correct, for any time you are attempting to exert control over others means you are trying to control some aspect of your own belief system, based on what you currently believe. This, of course, builds barriers to your advancement.
So showing a lack of the need to control and surrendering completely to what is is, in fact, an act of unconditional love. Think about that word for a moment, “unconditional” love. Are you placing conditions on how you feel about another, how you feel about yourself?
God does not place such conditions on his love for you, you being part of that Godhead. So, in like fashion, you are being asked to examine your own sense of love for all others. Are you expressing that unconditionally, that no matter what another does, says, believes, that you love them nonetheless for who they are, that is part and parcel of God, of the Divine, of you.
So, yes, releasing all sense of control is the gateway to moving forward. And anytime you find yourself wishing to exert some sense of control, which most often appears as you setting an expectation about how others or how yourself should act in any given situation, that is your indicator. Are you able to love yourself, to love all others, to love all that you see without those expectations and to just allow them to be as they are, wherever they are on their journey, wherever you are on your journey? Can you love yourself enough to just let it be?
