SPIRIT CAFE ~ on Riding the Waves

The Lighthouse Team of Council Of Love Teachers, Sue, Adrienne, Rob, Roxanne, Martin and I, are all excited to announce that we’ll be holding the next SPIRIT CAFE conversation on Saturday, APRIL 12th at 11 am EDT (Eastern time)!!!  

We so look forward to these rich open conversations on relevant topics.  This month, all our chats have led to “Riding the Waves of Change”. How are we getting through the rough and tumble of this time of transformation, intact and with grace? So much seems to be coming at us, too fast!  

What we are learning in the melee is that everything seems to serve a purpose for good. Every day is full of miracles. Everything we experience can be seen as a challenge and a blessing.

But it often takes our friends to help us understand this alchemy of perspective, to see the hard and scary times as invitations to align. And what’s the quickest way to alignment? Let’s talk about it on Saturday! Join us? It’s free and you are most welcome to listen in or add your perspective.

The following is a related inner conversation with an Angel called Alashara. She speaks to our theme in a truly loving and helpful way, coaching us in how to ride these waves every day and reminding us of the power of our choice.

Your Joy is Innate, channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson April 4, 2025

Alashara: Yes, this is Alashara. I am here to remind you to be open to surprises.  You have -at your fingertips – any one of us to have a conversation with.

I step forward because I wanted to remind you that you have prepared for this time, that you have within you all knowledge. You can see what is before us. You can see your way through the tunnel. You know the shape and the beauty and the wonder of what is at the end of the tunnel. This has all been shown to you in preparation for this journey. It is there for you. There are occasions when you will shudder a little, a spider falls down from the top of the tunnel and you go, “Whoa!”

But you are very good at re-centering yourself.  And do not for a moment berate yourself for taking the time that it takes to recenter, to come back to your place of peace, your place of comfort, your place of wisdom, your inner strength. It is there, and this is the human journey.

These are the moments that knock you off your feet, the waves that knock you off your feet, and you are sitting in the midst of the swirl, and your feet are in the air and you’re laughing, but you find your balance. Do you come out a bit wet, and it takes a while to dry off?

You were wondering where and how to find your joy in the midst of the discomfort of change. Yes. Remember, your joy is innate. Your joy is a very deep part of you. It is the core of you. But allow yourself the entire journey. Allow yourself all of those sensations, all of those emotions. And you do know you can tug on us when you are feeling extreme discomfort.

As far as what to tell others at this time, do not hide the joy, if you need to make a headline: “sharing joy In the midst of misery, in the midst of fear, in the midst of doubt and worry”- share your joy.

You are wondering: How, in a time when so much creativity is surfacing, so many ideas are coming forward— “Oh, we could do this. Oh, we could do this, we could do this, we could do this,” and then you find that you are doing more and you find you are more exhausted. Yes, it is a time of adjustment in this way. 

You will find yourself burgeoning. This is an old word, burgeoning, such as, the Earth is now burgeoning. Much is growing, much is popping up, just springing forth, and it is greatly beautiful.

Allow yourself to be comfortable,  no matter what happens. Allow yourself to trust the pacing. Trust the flow to contain the best speed for each day. Do not distrust the flow. We have invited you over and over to allow the flow. So why distrust it? Why label it? Why? Why say it is too fast or there is not enough of it, or there is not enough time. Just know that what there is time for is in the perfect flow. What you feel like doing is in the perfect flow.

You do not need to commit yourself to everything way ahead of time. You can always be clear that you will choose what is in your highest alignment at the time. And it is not always possible to see this ahead of time. And others will wait. They will go about choosing their best flow.

You choose, and then it manifests. And then you ride the waves. But it begins with choice. The choice is the initiator. If you choose a peaceful day, choose a peaceful day. Watch it unfold. Begin your morning with your choice, your conscious choice. “Today, I choose a peaceful flow”, and even surprises will come to you as delightful rather than alarming.

And you, if you are being empathic, will pick up on everybody else’s feelings. But that does not need to swamp you, that does not need to upend you.  Just say, “I notice.  I notice there are strong feelings about this. We will be all right.”  Be there when you can for another’s feelings, just calmly, and trust them to handle it.

You have all been learning, some of you more consciously than others, but you have all been learning. … So trust this and know that you are doing very, very well, and not only that, we are very grateful for your sense of dedication and purpose, for your love you are bringing the planet. We are with you in that love. We will restore you. We will add our love to your love. We want to share our love, too, on the planet. Thank you for channeling. Thank you for being in relationship with all else.

Mary Magdalen on The Divine Feminine

PART TWO of the Old Port Channeling, March 9th, 2025.

Mary Magdalen: Blessings to you, my sisters. I am so glad to see you in this place, in this moment. This is a new beginning for Jennifer and I extend my gratitude also for your support of what we are bringing forward. We are beyond ego with this particular endeavor. It is of great joy and fulfillment, of course, to Jennifer, so why would she not choose what brings her joy? Right? Why not we all make this choice for our own joy and to spread the joy and share the joy and be the joy together? It is so much richer and more beautiful when we are gathered. 

Yes, yes, and this does make such a beautiful gathering, the three, the sacred three, the triskele of the Celts. Yes, the Divine Feminine. They knew a lot about the Divine Feminine. They honored it. And it’s not just the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. It is also the Divine Feminine in all of its expressions~ the tenderness, the caring, passionate caring about your community, your neighborhood, your world,  every heart – you care passionately! – and your family, of course. The family is really a metaphor for the human family, it is a living metaphor. But neither is more important than the other, just one is a smaller group, just as we are, an intimate group today. 

 So we can discuss more about the Divine Feminine anytime, it’s one of my favorite topics. I rejoice for you that we are together today in feminine embodiment, with all the blessings this brings. And you have been in feminine embodiment in many lifetimes, but also the other, the male embodiment. But you chose in this life to experience divinity As Love, and this is the way of the feminine.  

To experience, seek for and practice and know and remember your divinity As Consciousness– this is the way of the Masculine. Now you all carry that within you, so if it attracts you, have fun with it. But if you feel a little less drawn to the hour-long sitting meditations in a hall where you are bathed in consciousness, fine, and if that is a delight and a bliss for you, wonderful!  If you are more drawn to feminine Ways of Love, love experienced in your quiet moments, love experienced as you express it and extend it, as you embrace another, as you help another in any small way, then you are expressing the Divine Feminine, the path of the feminine Love Expressed. 

We can feel your curiosity bubbling up. We can feel your interest in many matters of particular concern to you, so we will open the floor, so to speak, to whatever is bubbling up within you. Take a quiet moment, if you like. You’re ready for a question? Just speak up. 

Attendee: I’m keeping this general, there’s so many more I have that would be specific right now. But could you speak from your vast knowledge of love — how do you balance the love that comes through you and pours out of you with self protection and boundary? 

Mary Magdalen: This is a very good question. There are most on the planet who have an unconscious memory of their many human experiences which have resulted in their beautiful, divine vulnerability being mistreated in some way, and these are memories that you carry in your DNA and your cells, but also memories that are rampant upon the planet, in which case you may have been given advice to not allow yourself to be fully open, fully vulnerable, fully in a place of love with everyone. 

For you, at this stage where you are well aware of the value of being open and being loving, I would say it is a matter of discernment and wisdom.   Realize that not everyone that you interact with is ready for that level of openness and love from you. So if you respect their boundaries,  allow them to grow in their own time, in their own pace, and to remain closed where they choose to, then you will be honoring that value of boundary without needing to shutter yourself in the love that you are willing to be.

Does this make sense to you? 

Yes, you have chosen, in many lifetimes to open to the extent that you will interact with others who are holding more hurt within themselves, and what they will share with you will be some level of hurt, and you will say to yourself, “I got hurt when I opened my heart this time”, but when you are able to move completely beyond any thought of victimhood by another and trusting that each other person you meet Is divinity, although they may not express it that way, they are mirroring to you those parts of you you have planned in advance to bring up somehow in your current lifetime. To become clear as to what the energy is and why the energy occurred, and to move beyond your sense of victimhood into a sense of compassion for yourself as well as the other, these are opportunities for you to practice your compassion, your wisdom, your self-compassion. 

We are not perfect. We are perfection in the expression of Mother/ Father’s energy, but we are not always perfect in our human choices and experiences. For example, our choice of words at times, may feel lacking in love, in wisdom, in timing, but do not berate yourself when this occurs and the other also. There is an opportunity for you to be compassionate with another and to understand that they were expressing from a less than purely loving place due to their own stresses, their own beliefs and hurts. And you let it flow, you let it move along. That was then, this is now. And you move back into your loving self, and they will move back into their loving self as well. 

Sometimes, well, usually, it takes many, many lifetimes to be able to sustain the Loving Self through most of your days, but even then, you can have your moments. So remember to be compassionate with yourself, wise, understanding, accepting and grateful for all your experiences. Each one brings you a greater degree of wisdom and a freer expression of love.

Our Sweet Francesco: Walk As Love

To begin our session, I asked one of the attendees to pick a card or two from the Council of Love card deck. She chose St. Francis and Mary Magdalene.

Jennifer:  So we’re all clearly in our hearts, deeply in our passionate and excited hearts, so grateful that we have this opportunity to come together in this beautiful, beautiful way, to ask the ascended masters to speak with us, to be present for us, to take our questions, just such a blessing. I’m so grateful that we are here, that I am here. I’m so grateful also for this wonderful space. So, Mary Magdalene will come in, and perhaps we’ll have a visit from our beloved Francesco. Our sweet Francesco (St. Francis). Just want to give him a big hug. 

St Francis: Blessings everyone. This is the one you call St. Francis, but I’m known to my friends as Francesco, and you are my friends. You are clearly and dearly my friends. So.  I do not often have this opportunity to say hello, but I would like to very much tell you thank you for your experiences on the planet which enrich us all. Thank you for your gifts given in love each time you approach a child, an animal, a bird, any other being with your love, with your hearts wide open, and this is how you proceed. 

So it is my honor to come to say thank you to you for being yourself each day on the planet. And we are greatly greatly benefited in this way. We are greatly blessed in this way. We enjoy saying our blessings to St. — and St. —- etc. [names of participants]. We enjoy honoring you, because truly you are living a life of great love, each in your own way, a life of great love and intention to serve. And that is what I did. Do not worry if you are not written up in books or canonized by the church. This is not important, as you know deeply inside yourselves. 

What is important is just to walk as love, to be as love with one another, without judgment and with great peace in your hearts and great enthusiasm and great joy and giggles. We are so grateful for all the energy that you bring to your earthly experience. And I cannot name all of the varieties of these expressions. You and your divinity and your physicality, together, have a diversity of ways of being. 

I am sensing that there is some wondering that if you are not in a wonderful place, would this be in any way a detriment to us? 

No, dear ones, take your time when this happens. Rest, relax. All of your experiences are of benefit to you. And all of them -because they are to you – are a benefit to the whole and we are whole together. So even if your mood is not elevated, even if you are grumpy or you are turning inward in some way that is of sorrow or pain, you are still a blessing because you have the courage to be here now at this most crucial time. 

It is a crucial time on the planet, and you are helping so much. All we ask of you is to remember that you are loved and we are with you. That’s all you need to know. That’s all you need to be.  We do not want you to feel alone. That’s why we are with you, so you know you are loved, because that’s all that you need to remember.

Love naturally spreads itself around. Love naturally extends itself to all living beings, even to the rocks, the molecules of water, all of the Divine Mother’s beautiful, beautiful body. We know this is what I enjoyed in my existence, and it was unusual for its time, but I was not alone. I was never alone. You spark to so many others who recognize your love, and so did I. I’m so pleased again to meet you, Dear Friends, in this context. 

More from Mary Magdalen next time… With love, Jennifer

On Channeling Divine Love

Note: Just completed. It was wondrous and amazing!! We heard from Archangels Metatron and Jophiel, Jeshua & Mary Magdalen (together), Serapis Bey, St. Germaine and a Universal Consciousness called UNI. It was so much fun and so helpful… Thank you to all who came out to play!! We’ll hopefully do it again next month…

Announcing ~ SUNDAY MARCH 16th: An OPEN channeling session with me and other COL Teachers who channel the Council of Love’s Archangels, Ascended Masters, Saints & Enlightened Beings. Join us for an hour of Q & A, inspiration and the purest loving energy. Starting at 11 am EDT, Sunday! Here’s the LINK

for Conversations with THE COUNCIL of LOVE ~

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89896565132

This is Jennifer. I’d like to share my story with you. I’ve been moved to offer channeling lately in small groups, hence the Sunday event. I sometimes ask myself, “why?” I’ve had to work through past life memories of untimely demise, and layers of timidity and projected scoffing, and still I want to channel… I want to share channeling with others. I do already share that via the blogs, but more than that… I want to share the ENERGY of LIVE CHANNELING with any who are open to listen. It is such a pure, intense and beautiful energy, one that lights my heart on fire –and I cannot keep it to myself.

All ascended beings, those who reside in a vibration higher than good ol’ 3D, carry an energy of love, and we do always ward the gathering by calling in the Archangels to bless and protect us. Sometimes we channel our favorite 5 Archangels: Michael the Protector, Raphael the Healer, Uriel “Uncle UU” resident shrink, Jophiel the father of Jesus, and Gabriel/Gabrielle, who gave the Koran to Mohammad and first told Mary that she would bring forward the Prince of Peace. They are all five very wonderful.

Sometimes we act as the speaker for one of the Ascended Masters (pictured above from one of our webinars, thank you, Rob) – any with whom we particularly resonate, sometimes it’s just who steps forward when we are centered and willing. I often feel Yeshua and Mary Magdalen ready to speak, but my teammates often channel Lao Tzu or St. Germain. Occasionally, it’s a complete surprise. If you’ve followed these posts for a while, you’ll know I have channeled a dreamy mer-being and a witty charming leprechaun! (May 29th, 2024 and Jan. 19th, 2024)

Do we sometimes channel our own souls, our “higher selves”? Yes, indeed! Isn’t all channeling from our higher selves? Yes, to a degree, but, more than just us, it’s often a partnership, a dance, if you will, with the energies of one we have invited to dance with, to play with by choice in the higher energies. It’s a collaboration, and a great model for how all of us interact when in our dream time or between lives. This is how it really works:

When in the physical body as we are now, we as channels open our heart centers, and our upper chakras, creating a passageway for the energies of a higher vibrational being to flow through, specifically to use the language centers of our brains, thereby picking up our education and some of our vernacular. The energy then flows to our hearts where we feel it, discerning the tone and content, where we get the opportunity to “approve this message” or stop. Then the energy will come out of of mouths as language, as coherent words. In my experience, the energy has always, always been positive, sensitive, highly intelligent and desiring only to be helpful to us on the planet in our lives. The energy is enlightening, loving and healing, this I can vow.

In case you’re wondering “Who are the Council of Love?” The Council of Love is a large umbrella group of very high vibration, always of love and service and supreme wisdom. We who channel with the Council of Love have developed years of trust and experience. No one awful ever shows up! They cannot jump that high. We who channel have maintained our skills through our channeling practice groups, some of which have been going for many years- or remembered skills from lifetimes of preparation in the mystery schools or the mystical branches of the world’s religions. What we have in common is our channeling teacher, Linda Dillon, in my humble opinion, one of the finest channels active in the world today https://counciloflove.com

I hope I’ve piqued your interest to join us this Sunday, or for one of our monthly calls (on 3rd Sundays) – scheduled for the “spiritual but not religious” who prefer to hang out in their pajamas on Sunday mornings (let’s see a show of hands!!) It will be 11 am, my time, Eastern USA, but that’s 8 am on the West coast, or afternoon in Europe, so check where you are… I will be sharing some of the messages here on the blog, but we won’t be recording, so as to promote the comfort level of the attendees.

We hope you’ll join us if you can! We sure would love to see you. Come as you are…

BONUS!! TREASURE HUNT: on Rob’s own website there is a free gift, a downloadable PDF booklet about the Ascended Masters ~ see if you can find it!

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.

Your Own True Nature

Mandala by Jennifer Donaldson

Note: this is Part One of the public channeling session held last Sunday with Mary Magdalen. It was a very beautiful experience, and we hope you enjoy the message and will consider joining us next month! Love, Jen

Jennifer: All right, well, if you would all settle into your hearts.

I’m just going to talk myself into a space where the channeling comes easily. And if you would just hold space for me, send me your love and, hand in hand, imagine yourselves holding hands around this group today, and hold sacred space for Mary Magdalene to speak with us. 

Okay, take a couple of deep breaths. Feel those breaths all the way down in our heart centers,  into that beautiful love space, the center of our being, where we are completely connected with Source, with Mother and Father, Divine Mother/Divine Father, with our Teachers, Guides and Angels. 

I visualize Divine Mother at my front, Divine Father at my back, Yeshua and Mary Magdalene on either side, they are the ones who feel so close to me these days. I’m so grateful. Mary is putting her hand in my hand. And Jeshua is here as well. He and Mary are beautifully joined as twin flames, as One. The Divine Masculine & Divine Feminine representation to us as our Teachers. 

And Mary, will you speak with us? pause….She is reminding me of a necklace of hearts that she gave me this morning. It is like a circle of hearts draped around my shoulders. I’m so grateful. 

Mary Magdalen:  This is Mary, your Mary Magdalen, your Mary Magdalena. You may call me Maggie. You may call me anything. I’m delighted to be with you. I am so pleased to be called upon to speak about love, as there is love in All That Is.  You would not be without love. You would not be without love. And yet, many times when one is walking the human walk, one feels lonely of love. One feels that love is missing, that love has been lost. And this can happen through the passing of a loved one. It can happen through a breakup of a relationship. It can happen through change. Change is rather a challenge in the human element, but you are truly never without love, because you ARE love. 

So it is to ground yourself within your own being, within your own centers and to know again, remind yourselves again, remember, your own nature, your own true nature is LOVE.  And that does not mean that you do not occasionally express yourselves as less than all the love that you are. There are many gradations of love, many ways of loving, many kinds of love, many different expressions. Small kindnesses are love, compassion for others going through a difficult time – that is love, a regret that you spoke a hasty word that was less than love – that is love, that is returning you to love. 

Love is your nature, and you will always return to love, but it is natural at times that there is this reaching out, this longing for a love that you know is there and you are not at the moment feeling. So it does help to center you in your own heart, but it does also help you to call on Divine Mother, Divine Father, any of us who are here to help you in the higher dimensions, to lift you up, to remind you that love may look like it is around the corner. It is coming. 

It is coming. It is just about there. Just blink and love will be present for you. It cannot really hide. It is the human mind, at times, that tells you that you cannot see love. Perhaps you have heard the beautiful teaching to look in a mirror? My dear ones, my beloved ones, look in a mirror and you will see love. It is your spiritual journey to leave behind judgment at such a moment, and you all are well on the path to this. Leave aside your judgments, leave aside your criticisms of your own dear self. No human is perfect, and yet you are perfection in your beauty, in the beauty of all that you are, in the radiance of your soul. You are beautiful, and your human self will reflect this if you allow yourself to smile at that reflection in the mirror, to give gratitude to that one you see embodied in the human journey. 

It is a long and difficult journey. It is a huge challenge, which you take upon yourselves when you leave the All That Is, when you leave the higher dimensions and jump into a body. 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.

What: All About Love ~ a LIVE channeling with Mary Magdalene

When: Sunday, February 16th, 2025 at 11 am Eastern Standard Time, about 45 min. long

Where: On Zoom at: [the channeling is complete now.thank you.]

Why: For Valentine’s Weekend, wouldn’t it be wonderful to chat with one of the Ascended Masters on the subject of LOVE? I chose Mary Magdalene, because she is the Queen of Love, Jeshua’s beloved, wise in all the ways of the heart, and she is willing!!

She will come and be present with all who would like to hear her heart healing and expanding message: All About Love.

She will also take questions from the attendants, so you are welcome to bring a question on any aspect of love that you are wondering about. If your question is personal, she will likely answer it in a more general way, so as to be of interest to all.

Bring your open heart and help us to hold sacred space for this mystical experience!

Invitation to Wholeness

Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, January 2025

Note: I was musing on the amazing spiritual journey that has unfolded as I have come to know Yeshua and Mary Magdalen as my teachers. Their message has always been about our natural, innate divinity: “We are God and so are you.” Our human selves resist this, and yet, truth is consistent. This message from my higher self/whole self says it in a beautiful way…

Jennifer: So I see myself centering with Mama at my heart, Papa at my back surrounding us,  Yeshua and Mary present on either side… When I see Yeshua and Mary holding each of my hands right and left, they are pulling them up into the same gesture of embrace, of openness, of blessing…  They are inviting me -and each of us- into our Christed energy, into our wholeness and purity, into our power and compassion…then I began to channel ~

My Whole Self:  Dear ones, and I speak to everyone, those who are considering joining our class and those who are connected through other means to this blog or this message, through the many circles of connections that we have created through these lifetimes.  I am glad to have this opportunity to speak words of love and encouragement, to speak words of connection and joy. I do rejoice in being given voice. 

Each one of you tend to step over your Whole Self and reach for the stars, so to speak, reach for the spiritual movie stars, the ones who are given the greatest credit in your world. Yes, they appear in your card decks and they appear on your altars and they appear in your metaphysical bookstores. And you do love so much to channel these ones. It is greatly encouraging and, indeed, a thrill to feel so connected, even at the level of a card and an etheric embrace, yes.  

But I am here now to remind you of your own wholeness. You are not famous. You are not known to the world. You are not included in the card decks, but this is an omission made from human psychology. You all have the tendency, most of you, to project your divinity unto others, to project your wholeness unto others. “But I am not finished,” you say. “I am not yet completely whole. I do not dare speak as my own true self.” Ah, we are none of us finished, dear ones, none of us. We are all continuing to expand, express, create, rejoice, dance, write, explore, embrace. 

We are all evolving, my dears. And all of the great spiritual teachers and the lesser known ones are eager to spend time with you. That is not the point of what I am saying. What I am saying is, do not jump over the head of your own true beingness, as though your own wholeness is in any way less. It is not, whether you have fully embraced and integrated the knowing of your own Self; thisdoes not diminish you in any way. It is only that the remembering and the understandings are coming in in their own sweet time. 

You will grow from the limited human view of yourself into an expanded view of yourself. This is a natural progression, and it happens to each one, each particle of God, Self, each individual part of soul/wholeness. This growing and maturing, the adventure on the planet Earth has been all about separation into parts and particles, yes indeed, into feeling separate from the wholeness the Godhead, the oneness that is truth. And it has been a grand adventure full of drama, full of emotion, full of actions and reflections. 

And you who are speaking this and you who are reading this are coming now to the point of rememberingthat the game is just a game. The drama is just a play. The adventure must come to an end. The ship comes to the dock and you disembark, put your feet upon land again and start a new adventure. 

And your new adventure is beautifully dovetailing with the 3d adventure that you have been living for so long on planet Earth.     Yes, your new adventure is in a higher vibration and is taking place already. So join the parade, my dear ones! 

Yes, whether you wish to continue learning and taking classes, or you wish merely to play and rest and relax and recuperate, either is fine, and they are not mutually exclusive. Each of you needs time to nurture yourself. How will you best do this? You can turn on the lamp of learning and choose to join with others and open your minds and hearts in new ways, or you can do this in a solitary fashion. Lie upon a beach, read poetry, get a massage, sit in a hot tub, go swimming at the ocean, walk in the woods.  

There are so many ways to nurture yourself, dear ones, so of course, follow your creative urges. Yes, it is so exciting to see you stepping into your creative powers and the depths of your compassion. It is so beautiful to see you reaching out and connecting to one another. It’s not required that every single connection be completely positive. Do not carry any worry or shame for ways in which you have connected, which are not always the most helpful. 

You are still learning and the pressure upon you has been tremendous. 

Think of the metaphor of the coal becoming the diamond. Yes, isn’t this a wonderful metaphor?  But the pressure required for this transformation is astonishing, and this is what you have been going through. Yes, there’s coal dust occasionally, but your facets are beginning to shine so beautifully. 

So join me, stepping into your Whole Self. Let’s celebrate together. Let us mirror one another in the majesty that is inherent in each creation of the One. Have fun upon this beautiful planet Gaia, your Mother Earth, have fun with one another in any and every way that you choose. Be at peace, be in love. Breathe in the joy. Breathe out the love. Breathe in the love. Breathe out the joy. Just Be. 

All my blessings to you, my brothers and sisters, my deep and abiding blessings, as one of you. Farewell for now.

Was Mary Magdalen in France?

Jennifer Joy Donaldson: January 12th, 2025: I haven’t been to the South of France (yet!) where Mary Magdalen supposedly went after her beloved Yeshua was crucified, but many devotees have taken such a pilgrimage, where, aligning with Mary’s energies has been profoundly moving to them. In our upcoming on-line Course: Yeshua and the Magdalena, we will explore traditions, secret knowledge and the power of channeling Mary directly in meditation with the intention of learning more about this period in her life. The wonderful channeling I am sharing now was published in the Fall, when we first started to develop the course. It seems well worth re-posting in this context, especially for anyone considering enrolling in our course. Of course we’d welcome you with open arms, as Mary and Yeshua do in this channeling!

Channeling Yeshua & Mary Magdalen together, Oct. 7, 2024 with Rob Loveland:

Jennifer: So, I’m getting that this is Yeshua and Mary together. But it didn’t take very long, so I’m not trusting that! (Laughing) What?! You’re fast!  Hold on, let me just take a breath…. 

Yeshua & Mary Magdalen: It is our great pleasure to speak with you both tonight. We have been listening in! (Jen laughs). We are grateful for your interest in us, and not surprised.  You both have many, many ties to us both, and of course, there is the curiosity, because you are in your own physical lives. 

You are grounded in the earth with your spirit stretched wide and infinitely, and yet your focus is on the human life and what life was like, and how we found each other and how we lost each other, and how we came together, and how we learned from one another, and what our relationship was, and what were the details, and what did it look like and, and, and where did we go and when? 

And, of course, this is all of interest to you, and we do understand, not only your interest but, also, we support your understanding that the details are not that important. But we are very mindful of your human journey and your desire to know, because both of you are led in this instance, by a heart connection to us, to both of us. And this is very, very old…

It is older than the world that you know,  our knowing of each other, because you have levels of yourselves that are connected with us when we were first on the earth and you were first on the earth. There are levels of you who are connected with us from when we were first birthed, from Mother/Father God. We have known one another for so very long. 

And there is a mystery around our life on earth, there are many versions of tales and the desire to sort and to clarify one from the other. Was this true? Was this not true? You know, it does not really matter. What really matters we will tell you. But to say, “Was Mary in France, or was she in Spain?” Well, she was in France, you see, and it is something which we are perfectly happy to clarify for you. If you have a burning question about how things were, we can, of course, see the entire picture and offer to you some details. 

Rob: I do have a question. 

Yeshua & Mary: Sure. 

Rob: So I’m wondering… I have feelings about …the idea that Mary was in southern France, separated from you, if you were, in fact, deceased at that point, then okay, that separation is a natural part of what the human experience is. But if you were not, and you had to be separated, I just find that incredibly sad. 

Yeshua: And it was so for us, the need to part from one another, but we had also been warned that this would come, that our time together would have a parting. So we understood the necessity of this.  If my family had stayed with me— I’m speaking as Yeshua — then they would have been in constant danger. If I had traveled with them, then I also would have eventually, as the red flag, called attention to their whereabouts, and their safety would have been compromised. You see? 

Now, I did live for a time, but it really was only a short period,  more a matter of two or three years, and not 40 years or 500 years. [Channeled sources vary widely in the number of years Yeshua survived the crucifixion, if indeed he did].  

Rob: Just a question. I mean, that’s something that I ponder to myself, whether I would, if I were ever asked to do something that extreme, would I have the strength to do it?

Yeshua:  Well, you realize that we also were greatly assisted by our heavenly hosts, our Mother, our Father, we each had a very deep faith and deep understanding of our origins within Mother and Father, and we knew that the separation was temporary and that each of us would be completely protected, through the… let me see how to say this…  not ‘protected’ in the sense that we needed to, that we thought it was to seek safety for each of us separately, but ‘protected’ in the sense that there is no, there is no real separation. 

We had learned to telepathically communicate. We had learned to bi-locate.  I was completely able to continue to visit with Mary in her meditations,throughoutthe remaining years of her life. 

Rob: Is that one of the reasons that she chose to seclude herself, to become more of a recluse?

Yeshua:  I will let Mary speak now…

Mary Magdalen: As I became older in my life, and I had concluded much of what I came to France to do, the teachings that were passed on to the community which sprung up around where I was living. And I raised my daughter and saw her married, and I knew that there would be the passing down of the wisdom that had been taught,. After that is when I became more solitary.  And I enjoyed the last few years of my life, largely in meditation, largely with my beloved Yeshua- in communion through the meditation. Yes, yes, and I could see him within myself, and I could see him at times seated with me, but it did not last very long. 

Rob: I see. Thank you so much. 

Yeshua & Mary M: We are grateful for your interest and your commitment. We would be happy to speak with you again, and we can build a more elaborate understanding, if this is your desire…. We are with you.
