Note: When we get together in our channeling “practice” teams, we usually take turns, each channeling separately. However, in the past few months, we have been channeling simultaneously, each of us in the channeling space, receiving, and able to toggle back and forth to speak from our human level also. It is most wondrous experience for us and we want to share it. Love, Jennifer, Rob and our friend Rachel O’Gara.

Council Fire Conversation, 1 Sep 2025

– Archangel Gabrielle, channeled by Rachel

– Archangel Uriel, channeled by Rob

– Archangel Jophiel, channeled by Jennifer

Rachel: I believe I have Archangel Gabrielle.

Rob: Ooo, let’s go with all the Archangels.

Jennifer: I had the same thought.

Rachel: Isn’t that funny?

Rob: Huh. Can I have Uriel then?

Jen: Yeah, you can have Uriel! They love thinking of us fighting over them!

Rachel: [Laughs] Ridiculous!

Jen: I’m getting Jophiel.

AA Gabrielle: Hello, all. It’s Archangel Gabrielle. So nice to be with all of you. It is, indeed, a pleasure. I’m grateful for being included tonight.

AA Uriel: And this is Uriel. Based on all that you’ve talked about this evening, Rob thought it was important to have the Flame of Illumination present, so I’m always happy to accommodate. Thank you.

Jen: This is Jennifer. I invited Jophiel, because I think of you, Jophiel, I think of you as a dad figure, as a brother figure, as someone I can just be comfortable with who is in my family, and I find that connection to be so accessible that I find YOU accessible. So what I’m curious about, actually, is what your particular perspective is.

AA Jophiel: Well, I am one – like Saint Germaine to some degree, [he’s] very much a son of mine – who has participated in the earthly story, who has reveled in the experience of what you called tonight “The Game.” And it was a very fervent and sincere game that we brought forward during that era.

We immersed ourselves in it, in preparation, deeply, and for a great length of time. And then when the time came to take on the earthly body suits and experience life in physicality, with its limitations and with its particular blessings, for there are many, I was most grateful to be one who was able to do so.

Most of the ones you call Archangels are not desirous, not wanting, not choosing the physical experience, but there was a need for one to come forward as the family father figure for this one you know and love as Yeshua, and because we all know each other so well in the Ascended realms– and there is never a limitation on love, there is only a discernment of who would be the one most willing to participate.

And I revel in the fact that you sense in me the family figure for we are family to you. You may think of us as great lights in the sky. You may think of us as vast energies who barely have a personality, but in truth, we are deeply known to you, well known to you, amply known to you, and we enjoy this so much!

Thank you for including me again.

Uriel: I would point out that this is the time long-awaited, prophetic times, where humanity is awakening to all that you have spoken of this evening. The fact that you are having these conversations about love and forgiveness and separation says that you are on the doorstep. You are doing what you came to do, to bring such awareness to all of humanity, touching however many souls that you are able to touch, each individually, and far more so than you are even aware.

This is a grand adventure coming into physicality with its limitations, self-imposed. The rules of the game say that you are not aware of all that those on this side would see and know and feel, and yet you are finding your way through and still finding your way back to the Heart of One. This, again, is why you’ve come, and we are so overjoyed to see the progress, to witness your blossoming.

I’m sure Gabrielle would have a lot to say about that love and the joy that accompanies it.

Gabrielle: Thank you, Archangel Uriel and Archangel Jophiel, for your words of wisdom.

You all are making your way in your human experience, and yes, affecting all of those around you, just by being. As you know, or you’ve come to learn, love is all there is. And a simple way of moving forward in this life is remembering the divine beings that you are and all that you’ve accomplished thus far.

[It’s] such a joy to be here and listening to your musings, wondering about this or that. But when you get to the heart of the matter, love is all there is. And you show that, each, by being yourselves and the interactions you make with your loved ones, family, friends and strangers. That’s what we mean by affecting others that you may not be aware of.

You’re raising the collective just because you’re learning and accepting what is in this game and being truly okay with it. Thank you, all.

Jophiel: We are wondering if anyone would like to pose a question.

Rob: This is Rob. Since it was on my list and Gabrielle just spoke of love, are there any comments about the whole notion of love being expressed in degrees? Is there such a thing?

Gabrielle: On the mental mind, maybe. But truly, there are no degrees of love. How we all see it, believe it, and know it, being all one, is that love is love. But I can see from the human plane, using words and understanding your own definitions can create the degrees in your mind, but there truly isn’t.

Archangel Jophiel, do you have anything to share?

Jophiel: It would be hard for us to express a small degree of love, would it not? Yes. Jennifer is remembering that Yeshua often signed off from their sessions by saying, “Great love to you.” Great love is love. Love is great. Love is intrinsically full and powerful and wondrous and abundant, you see. It is the minimizing of love which we do not experience. It is the lack or paucity of love that we do not experience. This is the mental construct of your human perspective, your beliefs.

And so you reassure each other with your “great love” or your “very much” when you say, “I love you.” You see, “I love you” is, in itself, an expression of separation. There is only One of us here.

So Yeshua was quite correct when he said, “Great love to you,” so that you, Jennifer, who was still feeling some separation, could understand that there was the reality of great love available and lovingly offered, generously offered, caringly offered, and had only to be accepted for it to be real.

And you, Uriel, what would you say?

Uriel: Within the human construct, within the construct of societies, the whole idea of being separate from others, in order for one group to assert in any way power over another, that inherently is based on a belief of one being in some way better than another. But that is not the way of love. Love is! It is equal to all. It gives life to all, whether they be, according to your society, the least amongst you or the greatest amongst you. Love is the same.

So humans have developed this idea of love being offered conditionally in order to support that belief that some are better than others. This is a false notion, just as much as any one soul being greater or less than another, for we are all one.

Unconditional love means offering that great love to all equally, without condition. This is where we are headed. This is the path that humanity is on. Bit by bit, step by step, it is all coming to fruition.

Again, we are overjoyed with the progress all are making. As you say, it won’t be long now. 😉

Jen: This is Jennifer that is wondrous to hear. Thank you, Uncle UU. And I familiarize you as well, because it makes me happy to feel family together. It is in families that we have our greatest struggles, it seems at times. And when you say we are doing wonderfully well, I reflect on the greater degree of acceptance, self-acceptance and acceptance of each other, that I, myself, feel in my own family, and what a miracle that feels like. But then there are times when I wonder, are we really getting anywhere? I hope so. It really helps us to hear that we are.

Uriel: Indeed. Indeed, you are. We are. We all are. And yes, for many, families are a source of great struggle, but I would remind you that families are also the source of the greatest joys in life. The greatest expressions of love, one to another, are within the context of family, and we are, indeed, all family.

Jophiel: Yes, it is in families that births and deaths occur. It is in families that you delight in the crowing laughter of a baby. It is in families that you create these children, in all its wondrous unfoldment of birthing — the greatest amount of love. It is an incubator for love. It is an academy for love. It is a great, a grand experiment in love, in which the greatest game is immediately its own reward.

Uriel: Indeed. Gabrielle, would you like to bring this home?

Gabrielle: Yes. Thank you. With the love that you all share for one another and your families, because love is all there is. It is wonderful to be with all of you and enjoying the many moments that you have together with us, your family and friends, because, this game, this is the game of life on this Earth.

So play it, dear ones with love, joy, and wonder. Good night, until we talk again.

Jophiel: Love abounding and overflowing, my heart to yours.

Uriel: And my love for you, all here, IS. Go in peace and in understanding and In comfort that we are all family. Farewell for now.

Yeshua on Relationships

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info, Yeshua

[I channeled this during the most recent class in our “Yeshua and the Magdalena” course, but I think the message is important for everyone to hear. — Rob]

Rob: I invite in Yeshua to talk to us all as a group today.

Yeshua: Greetings, all. Yes, this is Yeshua, your brother. It is quite fun for us to hear your discussions about what life was like so many years ago. It is always fun to hear the stories, to recount them and to remember, not that they are ever far from us.

But the point for today, for all of you, is that these aren’t distant stories from long ago. Your relationship with us is here and now. It is always there, if you simply allow yourself to tune in, to connect with us. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate.

Our hope for this course, with special thanks to Jen and Rob, is for you to understand, if you have not already gone down this path, [you can] develop that relationship with us. We can have a conversation anytime you choose. We are always here for you. It is in the development of that relationship where our hope really lies.

And I would ask you to think about “relationship,” what that means. It’s not just a relationship with us — we are always here to help — but it is also relationship with each other, with all that you see, whomever you come across, day-by-day. Think about what is your relationship.

And when you contemplate who you are, and the primary part of the relationship — and your consideration of that is really the relationship with yourself — is getting in touch with who you really are, understanding that at a deeper level.

And yes, we will be there to assist, to help you. It’s understanding that you are as divine as any of us. The Ascended Masters on this side, we’re no different than you, so it’s your relationship with Mother-Father-One, with the Divine. And once you start to get in touch with that, and really feel what that means, then you start viewing the world differently. Your relationship with all others, with each other, starts to take on a whole new meaning.

You are all the same. They, “other,” are just as divine as you. How will you treat them, then? How will you consider them, whether they are engaging in any activity that you would choose to engage in yourself or not? Does it matter? View it from the perspective of the Divine.

Now, once there, how does that appear to you? Can you feel that compassion in your heart for ALL things, for all parts of creation — for human, for nature, your environment.  It doesn’t matter. It all comes from the same source.

This was the nature of our teaching, me and the Magdalena. It was our teaching then, and is our teaching now. The difference is, today, you are so much more open to this possibility. Many of you here [today] have already explored much of the depths of this question, of this idea, of this belief, so you know of what I speak.

Once you connect with the divine, then you understand the love that is behind all of that, for there is nothing else but love. The whole universe was created from Love, the expression of love from Mother-Father-One, and you are part and parcel of that. And in that sense, your relationship with EVERYTHING is sacred.

Think about your Sacred Union with all. Feel it. Understand it. And there are no mistakes. This is the message that we would like to express today and every day.

You can connect with us through your heart at any point. Just feel our presence for we are there always. Just as I am talking to you today, each of you, all of you, can have the same conversation any time you choose. And in those moments, we are, in fact, joining together in Sacred Union to have that conversation.

I would encourage you all to seek that time during your busy days to connect together, with us or with any whom you choose.

I think this is enough for today. I thank you so much, all of you for being here, for joining together. With our deepest love, I bid you farewell for now.

Mirrors of Love

PART TWO: ON LOVE, channeling with Mary Magdalene ~

[Continuing from this last part] It is a huge challenge to be human, and yet it is a huge blessing to be human, the exquisite pleasure which you feel when you feel another’s heart, whether you have fallen in love or embraced a child, whether you have kissed your elder, whether you have held your mate, whether you have held the hand of a brother or a sister, and seen the love in their eyes, the appreciation, the encouragement, the willingness just to be together in this adventure. You all know so much love. Each of you knows love in abundance. 

We feel ready to move along to the question part of this session, if you have brought some question, or you think of one. Now, if anything that I have said has sparked a question, or you wish more elaboration, or you wish to know more about some aspect I have perhaps glossed over a bit, let us proceed. And if my helper, my sweet helper, will call out the names since Jennifer has taken off her glasses and sees a beautiful blur, you go ahead and speak up. 

Question #1: I’ll actually start with a question. In our world, currently, I’m experiencing the lack of loving expression so profoundly and so broadly. Can you respond to that lack of love more of a global level, a lack of expression of love, because love, love, love is there, but… 

Mary Magdalen: Yes, you do know love yourself. You are asking about why there seems to be so little love out there. You are perhaps partly expressing or projecting a belief in lack of love to the greater whole. You are also partly believing that it is possible for there to be a permanent lack or a solid lack of love. There are chimeras, there are movies, there are videos, there are words which seem to be not of love. Do not put to put too much belief in these. 

There is at the moment in your public life, a great outpouring of what you would think of as the shadow self. You see, it used to be the older generations would only show what was nice, what was pleasant, what was of good manner, and much was repressed for a long time. Now, you are seeing the expression of the shadow self of the collective, which is saying, “Can I still be love? If I am unpleasant, if I am unkind, can I still be love?” You are asking in your heart of hearts, “Is it possible for there to be love when there is so much disagreement, when there is so much separation?” 

Well, there is so much belief in separation still, and this is why so many of you have come to be on earth at this time to shine your light in the ways that you do. Just by being you. You do not need to start a great mission. You do not need to start a TV station, though some of you might want to.  You can write a song, you can write a poem. You can smile to your neighbor when you see them. You can smile to the stranger. And this is shining your love. 

You see, you are picking up, dear one, the collective belief in lack of love empathically through your heart, and it weighs on you. But this is not the true essence. It is merely an expression that is troubled, that seems to be lacking in love, that is afraid that there is no love or not enough love. You are aware of all of these in your own individual journey, and you have overcome them.  At this point there is more of a seeing it out there and believing, in you. You will all find your way to love. This is the path forward for mankind, humankind, man- and woman-kind you. Does this clarify for you? 

#1: Yes, very much. Thank you. 

Mary Magdalen: I am glad. Would there be another question from anyone? … Wonderful. Go ahead

#2:  Well, I can honestly say I love myself. I love my body. I’m really grateful for my body, and I send love in every part and every aspect, and I also send love to my soul, and then I do sort of feel that I should be in harmony, because love dissolves all the negativity, and then there’s harmony and there’s balance, and also with the physical disbalances, they should be, they could be removed in that way, but that does not quite happen. Can you please give me a little bit more information about that? 

Mary Magdalen: Are you asking about the healing aspect of love for you to feel better? 

#2: Yes, that’s, that’s it certainly, yes. 

Mary Magdalen: There is a reason why you are all incarnated together, and we would suggest to you that you reach out to the greater collective, whether this is something you do in your mind, or something that you do in an occasion such as this, where we are together, where you will receive a strengthening of that love and that delight and that joy that you are looking for, a strengthening of Your Own Beingness by being part of the whole. You are whole, but your wholeness is not separate, and this is a lingering fragment or figment of your belief in separation. 

You will all go through many stages of belief,  a little bit of separation may continue for a while. So I would just advise these group meetings or the times when you can have the human interaction in your own daily life, whether it is a hand or a hug or the sweet communion with eyes. We see your love and we see your spiritual practice, and you are a most beautiful soul incarnated dear one. 

Yes.  But take advantage of -in the most positive way of that phrase- the fact that you are all here together in this beautiful world, and know that there will be times when the energy feels a little less, just as the tides come and go, the tides recede, and then they come back again to shore, and they wash beautifully upon the sands, and they gift you abundantly. And then they withdraw for a little while, and then they will return again. So to trust in the cyclical nature of energy flow, would this help you as well? 

#2: Definitely yes, thank you. 

Mary Magdalen: I’m glad.  I am here for you. 

#2: Thank you so much. 

#1: #3 has a question. 

Mary Magdalen: Yes, go ahead, dear one. 

#3: Hi, thank you. Okay, so my question is on personal relationships, you had said something in your beginning about leaving behind judgments and criticisms of self because we’re all love. If we feel that maybe love may be lacking in a personal relationship, and that’s the wrong word, or there’s a fear in me in some way, because it may not be real at all. It could be the judgment of self, the lack of self worth, or whatever. Can you give me guidance on how to remain true to myself and maybe eliminate the fear, or may not even exist at all? 

Mary Magdalen: Is the fear within your own ability to be loving in the relationship, or is the fear projected to the other that they may not be loving enough for you? 

#3:  Projected to the other okay, but it may not… 

Mary Magdalen: It triggers, perhaps, your feeling that you are not quite enough? 

#3: Maybe. It never occurred to me, okay, maybe.

 Mary Magdalen: The dance of a relationship is the mirroring for each other, the love that you each are, or where you are, not believing in the love that you are. There is never less than love. There is less than love in the belief that is expressed. It is only through the belief that there can be a lack of love. How could there be a lack of love? Look at this wondrous, amazing life that we are. 

#3: So really, it’s my belief systems.

Mary Magdalen:  Well, in the dance of a relationship, you will also encounter the other’s belief systems, yes, and they will project upon you occasionally. But, in that you are completely knowing of your own love, the other can say just about anything, and you will wait until the wind has stopped blowing and you will come back with your peace and say, in your own way, “I see you. I love you. We can get beyond this. We can go now together,” and you are in peace and harmony again, you see. 

In a relationship, sometimes you are projecting your peace and harmony, your belief in the goodness and abundance of love, and sometimes it is the other way around, and you know that in the sacred partnership, you have agreed to work together with all of the energies that you each encounter each day. These are varied, you see, not always the sweetness and light. 

#3: Right. 

Mary Magdalen: This makes life interesting. This makes relationship dynamic, but to the extent that you can be with another, or take a little time out and then be with the other, and hold the love that you know you are and that you know, essentially, they are, then it does not matter. The expression of less-than-love is not real, and it will pass. It will fade out like a slide show on the wall, and he will return to love, and you will mirror that for him. 

You are all here to be mirrors to each other, and this is the beautiful way of relationship. It can happen in family relationships, and it does, sibling relationships. What kind of relationship are you working on, each of you? 

You see, it could be a relationship with a neighbor. This one, Jennifer, had a neighbor who had neighbors who had a barking dog. It drove the neighbor “up the wall” every time the dog barked. She had a little work to do with love for her neighbor and love for the dog. Simple, right? You can see it in others. You all have so much wisdom. Trust yourselves. Does this answer your question? 

#3: It does, and it’s interesting. When you speak of the mirror, you know, when you recognize things in the other person and in family too. So yes, identifying it. Yes. 

Mary Magdalen: And I can say a little bit more. Those parts of yourself that you are uncomfortable with, you will assign to another.  You will feel more comfortable if you can temporarily disown the “discomfortable” part.  True? 

#3:  Yes. 

Mary Magdalen:But if you see something in another that is disturbing to you or is uncomfortable to you, and you say, “Bless that too.” That part, too, is only [there] because that person is afraid of love. That person is afraid there is not love. “Bless that too, bless my brother or sister. They are just believing in ‘not-love’ and this too shall pass.”  It may take a week, it may take a year, it may take another lifetime, but they too will come to know themselves as love, as each of you are doing now, and there are many ways to express this love, do not think it has to be one way or another. Love is not limited. Do not limit it.

Quan Yin on Compassion for Others

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

[As is so often the case, this is another message with practical guidance that will be valuable in the days to come. Wishing you all a Happy Father’s Day! I, for one, had a great day! 😄 — Rob]

Rob: Let’s hear what the Chinese sweetheart has to say. Of course, I see Quan Yin riding in on her dragon, always making such an entrance!

Quan Yin: Thank you, Rob, for giving me this opportunity. I don’t say for inviting me in, because I was the one that knocked on your door. But we are here now, together, to talk a bit about Compassion.

And the idea that I would like to address today is not just compassion to yourself — that is always true; that is always necessary. Today, rather, it’s about projecting that compassion to others. As your teammate’s guide said, and you noted, addressing others — all interactions with others — from the perspective that they just want to be heard is, in itself, an act of compassion on your part, to view those interactions, the perspectives of others — that they are struggling through life or living their life without struggle — the same as you, no different than you, [for] you are all one. Why would they be any different? But the act of compassion on your part is actively acknowledging that that is true.

And then approaching all interactions from the perspective of the underlying love that you are, it is an act of your will. [That is], not allowing your emotions to be overtaken by the emotions of whatever event is in front of you, but rather actively setting that aside and acting out of compassion [to] see the other person as your brother, as your sister, no matter what they are engaged in, and that they are simply trying to express themselves, however they know best at that moment. Perhaps they are acting out of emotion; that’s not who they are; that’s not where they come from. It just happens to be how they are reacting at that moment.

The act of compassion on your part is to see through all of that and to project to them that feeling of love, to understand that they are simply feeling perhaps unheard, unworthy, unseen. So see them, feel them, hear them. That requires a conscious effort on your part.

And in doing so is the opportunity for you to connect to your own heart, to your own spirit, and reach out to theirs. This is why you are here. This is why you are all here in this grand play, this adventure. You will find in doing so and behaving this way that the play becomes so, so much more fun, so much more meaningful.

It’s just another idea of how you can connect day-to-day and to stay connected throughout your day. I hope this has been helpful. I trust it has been so.

Does anyone else have any questions for me?

Mary Magdalen on Relationships

by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, relationships, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Jennifer:  It’s very timely for me, this idea of the value of the long term relationship [nearing my 50th wedding anniversary]… It seems like there are costs as well as benefits, and I’ve been kind of chafing a little bit at the idea of adjusting to certain limitations [such as aging], when in fact I’m beginning to feel more and more unlimited, and I have the desire to feel like I am being absolutely in integrity with my soul’s purpose and not with the expectations of society as to how long relationships should last. I’m just interested in hearing more about relationships and maybe my friends here have questions too.

I’m feeling Mary, Mary Magdalene, “Maggie”, my Dear one. 

Mary Magdalen: Thank you, Beloved ones. Yes, I am here. I am very interested in this topic. The topic of the value of relationships, the connections between each of you… 

You know you have unlimited connections between all expressions of the Divine Father and Divine Mother. You will feel these connections at different times and sometimes many, simultaneously, and as you become more and more comfortable with your own limitless-ness as a Being incarnated, you will become aware of the variety and multiplicity of connections on many levels, with one another, with many in your world, with students, potential and long ago, nowadays, with what is happening within your extended family, what is happening within your group of friends, what is happening within your circle of those who are advancing, growing, developing, evolving each day into their mastery -which we have mentioned before, is this group. 

We want to set your mind at rest in the sense that you do not need to concern yourself that you have to limit yourself to anything other than the truth of your experience. And as long as you can maintain the truth of your experience within your primary household, then this relationship will be fed, this relationship will be honored. It is important that you be able to express the truth of your experience— your feelings, your evolving understandings— and to share that to the extent that the other is willing. 

It is fine if your beloved is not your major confidant about spiritual things because there certainly are enough points of connection and enough ways in which you inspire one another and touch one another’s hearts. And that is the important thing. The important thing is that you feel nurtured in your relationship, that you are not the only one doing the nurturing, that there be an infinity loop between you and the heart of anyone who you are going to dedicate a great deal of your life to — and have—  that there be this infinity loop of giving and receiving. 

And sometimes you are the leader and you’re the teacher and sometimes your beloved is actually showing you some things- much to your surprise. So you see, a balance. A relationship is valuable in as long as it continues to be a source of encouragement, support, comfort, companionship, inspiration—there are so many aspects to a good relationship. 

And you do not have to think that your relationship is perfect. There may be areas in which you do not completely coincide and this is perfectly fine. You are not missing anything, my Dear. You have had many lifetimes where you have had much shorter relationships and so, give yourself the knowing that this is the lifetime in which you chose one long and thoroughly valuable relationship. Receive that gift. Hear your own truth. I’m speaking your truth, my Dear.
