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!
Offered in LOVE, by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, Council of Love channel, coach & teacher.
HI Everyone! Just a warm invitation to our monthly zoom chat, SPIRIT CAFE, an open forum on a variety of spiritual topics. Hosted by our teammates Sue Scofield and Roxanne Smith, come and enjoy conversation with a mug of your choice and a bunch other people who quickly become friends. No particular theme this time, so, what’s on your mind? It’s a full hour, free and always fascinating! Starts at 11 am EST. Here’s the quick link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81970023054
By the way, as the scheduling for our course Yeshua and the Magdalena landed on the same day and time, and several of us are in that class or teaching it and won’t be able to attend the CAFE, it will be fun to see who turns up this month! Try it –you’ll like it!
cU (see you, get it? looks like a little mug! LOL) Love to all!
Rob: My question is why I don’t feel a particular connection with Mother-Father-One. I feel more of it with the Archangels and my guides than I do with the Mother or Father. Why is that?
AA Gabrielle: Greetings again, all. It is always such a pleasure to be here in your midst, to be invited into your circle. Of course, we are always with you, but it is so nice to be acknowledged in this way, to connect in this way.
So your question, Rob, why is it that you don’t feel a particular connection with — a stronger connection, a closeness to — Mother-Father-One, I would ask, does it really matter? Of course, at the end of the day, it is all up to you. Whether you feel that connection or not is really related to how much you open yourself to it.
But when I ask whether it really matters, it’s because if you feel that connection with your personal guides, feel that connection with any of us, as the archangels, before you invite in the Mother-Father-One, is that energy not all the same? It’s all from the same source. It’s all the same connection.
So it really comes down to your perception or your interpretation of who it is that you’re really connecting to, what it is that you’re really connecting to. The emanation of love is the emanation of love. It doesn’t matter how you visualize that.
Who you see as who you’re connecting to, all of that, is based on your beliefs and whatever limitations you choose to put on that, if any limitations at all. If you choose to have a closer connection with the Mother or the Father, then sit with that, develop that, believe in that.
If you have greater affinity for me or any of the other archangels, then that’s where you will feel the connection. The same goes for any of your guides or your Higher Self. It’s however you choose to visualize that, but, at the end of the day, the energy is all the same. It all comes from the same place, for we are One.
But whatever happens in the end, don’t berate yourself for not being able, as you believe, to connect with what you see as a higher source. Again, there’s no such thing. You are already connecting with that higher Source. Whether it is somebody in your family standing in front of you, when you feel the love, you are connecting with the Source. It is all how you choose to visualize it and how you choose to experience that.
Again, if you want to have the closer connection with the Mother, then sit with that, develop that. Develop your relationship with her, and you will feel it.
In the past, when you have channeled the Mother, you have felt it. You know what that is, but you’re questioning, “Why does that not feel any different than the connection with anyone else in the realm of Heaven?” The answer is, because it’s all the same. Connection with any one of us is a connection to Source, ultimately, so why would it be any different?
Rob: Well, that seems obvious now that you say it out loud. Message received. Well, that was simple enough. 😊
AA Gabrielle: That’s good. Perhaps your teammates have questions for me?
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.

If you enjoyed this, please consider enlarging your own spriritual perspective by enrolling in our upcoming webinar course: Yeshua and the Magdalena. It truly is the the story of Love incarnate. Enrollment closes on Jan. 24th, so don’t miss this amazing opportunity. We would love to connect on this level. + Jennifer and Rob
[Here is another example of how easy it is to simply ask the Ascended Masters for guidance whenever we have questions — in this case, it was Yeshua and Mary Magdalene. Given our upcoming course, I’m interested in their thoughts. Not only are they encouraging, but they are as comforting as a best friend! — Rob]
Rob: So I’m sitting on my temple steps with Yeshua (Yeshi), who is on my right. Mary (Magdalene) is on my left.
As you know, I question all the time whether I am simply making this up? Is this all just in my mind?
Yeshi: Well, there is no difference, Rob. Your mind is our mind. And in that regard, think of us simply as symbols, symbols for your mind, to be able to have a conversation with “other.” The nature of being one is one of the most difficult things to wrap your mind around. How do you go through a physical life, especially, but it’s also true in the spiritual realm, how do you go through your existence, your life, with a complete understanding that all that you see and all that you experience is the One.
You will continue to do so, [i.e.] to question that, and to think of yourself in any way as separate for as long as you choose to have the experience of that separation.
So we have chosen for this adventure to separate ourselves from the One in order to experience something different. So the whole idea of learning about the One and achieving Unity Consciousness is really a matter of degrees and coming to accept within yourself the greater and greater concept of all that you are.
Mary: And I would add, Rob, that you should enjoy it within the time that you have of the experience itself. Explore the relationships with others. See them for what they are and what they can teach you ultimately about yourself. The experience of joining with another is an experience of tremendous joy.
Learn to connect with others. Learn to connect with us, to experience that joy and be grateful for the system that is here to allow that to happen.
Yeshi: And for the events that are unfolding, as difficult as they will be for those who are completely enmeshed in the physical, take the opportunity to show them that no matter how crazy it gets “out there,” there’s still a place of peace within. There’s still an opportunity to connect with your soul tribe, with all those you consider your guides, your family, for it is true, they are all a part of you, and that can never be separated.
Rob: I just want to be able to feel at all times that direct connection with you at a more complete level. As I do these channeling sessions and go into my meditative state to imagine us sitting here on this temple in front of this beautiful landscape, my question: is this the most effective way for me to feel the connection with you?
Yeshi: It is your way, Rob. Everyone has their own way. Yes, you can be in so many different places at once — each is just a thought away. And once you have that thought, then it is real. It enters into the realm of your possible realities that you are choosing to experience.
Mary: But again, the image is simply a means of communication from those on this side, including your Higher Self, to you in the physical realm. But always, always, the most important aspect is to focus on the relationship, on your connection with the other. Start focusing on that and, as you develop the meditations and exercises for your class, remind them continually to feel the connection with the other.
Within the meditation itself, feel from their heart the joy of being WITH us, what it must have felt like at the time of our lives, and what this can feel like right now. There is no difference. Whether we are in physical form or not does not matter. The relationship, the connection to other, the merging with other, at the level of consciousness, is where the real learning, the real experience, happens. All the rest, that is the actual physical experience, or your interpretation of it, is a fleeting happenstance.
And yes, given the nature of time and multiple timelines, there can be different circumstances for different people, each driving their own experience based on their own reality — or their own interpretations of that reality — yes, based on their beliefs, what they are willing to accept.
The thing that is most important through all of that, through every differing interpretation of the events in the physical form, is the relationship that you develop with the other. Whomever you are channeling, whomever you are meditating on, focus on that.
Rob: Thank you, both. Perhaps I shall go and get out of the house, get some fresh air.
Mary: Well, whatever you choose to do today, keep, perhaps in the back of your mind, the connection with us, that we are going with you, and we shall be.
Yeshi: We’re all here for you. Start living your life from that perspective and see what unfolds.
Rob: Thank you, both. I love you, and I so appreciate you coming to visit with me, and for being with me.
“My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am most pleased to be able to welcome you to this moment, to this opportunity for a little chat with you. We would like very much to have the opportunity to sit with you, be with you, be in community with you for the duration of a class.
We understand there are a great many questions about our lives, mine and my beloved Mary Magdalene. We know there are lots of questions and that this is a point of interest, and that is fine. We would be happy to assist Rob and Jennifer in unearthing some of those historic details which would settle your minds, because curiosity is one thing, but it is also quite delightful to have it satisfied. And there are reasons why there are so many varying tales. You may have heard this, or you may have heard that.
We would first of all, though, like you to know that we are most, most looking forward to the opportunity just to be with you, to be learning with you. And we do learn so much about you when you bring yourselves forward like this. We want to learn with you. We want to play with you, laugh with you, share tenderness, share insights.
We want to encourage you in your spiritual growth, each of you growing so quickly. Now we wish to be able to give you the opportunity to have all of your own emotional, spiritual, mental needs completely met by us in this class. For the duration of this class, we will be attending to each one of you.
This is a very personal choice that you have made, and we are delighted and honored to be so chosen to spend this time with you. So there will be lots of learning, and there will be lots of play, there will be lots of discussion, and there will be lots of new insights, lots of deepening the knowing of who you really are. And you know we will tell you that we love you. So there will be lots and lots of love. So for now, we will say farewell and we will meet again soon. This is Yeshua.“
Channeled by Jennifer Joy Donaldson, December 2024
For more information about our upcoming on-line course Yeshua & the Magdalena:
In this channeling group conversation, we were wondering about the practice of forgiveness…and that sparked a really good answer from one of our Council of Love Ascended Masters, my beloved Mary Magdalen. As we approach the New Year, and leave the old one behind, it seems like a valuable spiritual practice to forgive ourselves and each other, to live and let live, to let go and bless. Even more so, it feels like the only path to unity. Enjoy the message… Happy New Year! Love, Jennifer
Jennifer: I’m just aligning and receiving: opening my heart and crown… giving my ego some toys to play with, maybe some candy. Get him all sugared up. For some reason, my ego is a he– it’s very funny! …. Ah, so Maggie is here.
Mary Magdalen: Dear ones, I’m grateful for your presence. I’m grateful for your loving circle. I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak with you after my beloved Yeshua spoke with you at the Fall class [Who’s Yeshua? at OLLI, with Linda Dillon channeling Yeshua on forgiving]. I would be happy to elaborate on both of these topics [the other topic was conspiracy theories, to be posted another time].
Let us begin with forgiveness. Yes, it is extremely important in these times, because it is difficult to hold your divine neutrality without it, whereas if you can say to yourself that you forgive yourself —for your humanity and for everything you didn’t understand that was less than love or that led to an expression of less than the love that you are— you will be elevating yourself to a place where you can observe and offer love both ways, within and without. You see? And forward and backward.
Think also about loving your self-of-40 years ago, 50, 60, years ago, 10 years ago. Love yourself for the mistakes you made. You are human. Life is about mistakes. The human life is a wonderful arena, a playground, in which to make mistakes. And some of you have become so afraid of making a mistake and so punishing to yourselves when you do so. And this is not helpful. This carries a residue of heaviness within you.
First of all, you will feel some anger, because no one should have to carry this heaviness for so long. And secondly, you will carry some shame, because you think that others will judge you, or have judged you, or you have somehow created a mess in a way that is not forgivable. It is all forgivable. It is all forgivable.
As Yeshua said, forgiving is a way to wipe the slate clean, and you do have with your sovereignty, your divine sovereignty, the supreme ability, the divine ability to forgive and to wipe the slate clean. So allow yourself that. Clarity leads to clarity. Allow yourself that purity, which you essentially are, to be the spokesperson for your being, to be the presence, to be your Divine Presence.
So, the forgiving within, and the forgiving without, and the forgiving without works in the same way. You allow others that same tender understanding that they are human. They do not know what they are doing, they do not understand what they are doing, and those few who may understand and still prefer to stir the pot, so to speak, will be forgiven as well, because anyone in the fullness of their own divinity would not choose to create chaos of this type.
And so they are not in the fullness of their own being. They have perhaps forgotten. They have, perhaps at some point, denied themselves the ability to be fully good, to be fully love. They are, in many cases, punishing themselves so harshly that they believe they are only capable of evil, of ill, of mis-creation, you see, so… it’s, well, “If I am not going to love and I’m not going to be loved, then I’m just going to create as much trouble as I can.”
You understand this, you have all had twinges of this, perhaps in a situation in which you were held unjustly apart from the love of those who you love. Yes, this is part of the human experience, all aspects of separation. But is it ultimately true that we are separate from one another? No. This is the illusion. This is the illusion, the illusion of separation, you see. So all are, all are forgivable, and you are capable of forgiving all, as you give them the same loving tenderness that you can offer to your own dear self. And you know your own ability to love and your own desire and longing to be understood and accepted and loved, despite your faults, despite your choices, which at times have caused some harm.
….. I so enjoy our coming together in this way. It is a great pleasure for me, and thank you for all that you are contributing to the world at this time by your being you, in the many ways that that expresses.
Dear Hearts, along with Christmas preparations, I’ve been engaged in the excitement of planning our new winter course Yeshua & The Magdalena with Rob Loveland, Lighthouse team member and fellow channel & teacher with the Council of Love.
I’m late with my tree and stuff because I find the subject of the course so absorbing… truly, these classes are a fulfillment of a lifetime’s passion, one might say obsession at times! Both of us have read and researched widely in 20-21st c. sources about Jesus and Mary Magdalen, as well as going deeply into personal relationships with each of theses two Ascended Masters.
On top of that, we have explored the mystical connection called “channeling.” We learned channeling from The Council of Love’s founder, Linda Dillon, a few years ago and have been channeling ever since. As our readers know, many of the messages we receive have been shared on this blog. Last winter I began to get messages from Yeshua about creating a course where he and Mary Magdalen could be the topic and the co-teachers. How exciting and beautiful!!
So, Rob and I have been zooming weekly for most of a year, discussing and channeling for any new instructions, refinements or understandings to make the upcoming course even more wonderful. We have been having long, thoughtful and heart expansive sessions with both Yeshua and Mary Magdalen to prepare for offering this course to you, now, to start January 25th.
Today, we want to share with you Yeshua’s invitation to join us.
“My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am most pleased to be able to welcome you to this moment, to this opportunity for a little chat with you. We would like very much to have the opportunity to sit with you, be with you, be in community with you for the duration of a class.
We understand there are a great many questions about our lives, mine and my beloved Mary Magdalene. We know there are lots of questions and that this is a point of interest, and that is fine.

And you know we will tell you that we love you. So there will be lots and lots of love. So for now, we will say farewell and we will meet again soon. This is Yeshua.“
…..Each time I read it, I’m moved by Yeshua’s statement that he and his Magdalena are looking forward to spending time together with us as a group, to learning together, to laughter and play as well as insights and details from their historical life on Earth. We will have lots of questions, and they will answer generously.
Most of all, by embarking on this journey, we will open to huge personal support from them, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. In the course, we will expand our understanding of who they were and continue to be, who we are becoming and how we are joining our hearts and hands, together lifting up the world.
The other morning in my meditation, I got the vision of these two beloved teachers joining hands in my heart. Rob and I put our hands in next, then we all turned our hands flat, on top of each other, and began to circle clock-wise as in a dance. As we twirled, more and more hands joined ours. It was a beautiful and exciting vision, then Rob collaged the graphic at the top of this post.
Thank you, dear friends, for following these posts and for sharing our excitement. For now, I wish you all the greatest of joy in your days as we move into the Solstice and the blessings of our various holidays. Love, Jennifer
Rob: I’m seeing Quan Yin, but not on the dragon. This is Quan Yin on the lotus blossom. So, Quan Yin, I just open myself to you, whatever you would like to share, whatever message you have for us today.
Quan Yin: Good evening. It’s such a pleasure to be with you. Yes, I am Quan Yin, so-called Goddess of Compassion. You will find that many of us don’t like such titles. They seem so pretentious! 😊 … but they are there for a reason.
And yes, I am stepping forward to have a conversation about compassion, for these times in particular. Now is the time to fall back on, to rely on, to lean on, your sense of compassion for all others for the difficulties that will arise soon. Many people will be upset with what is transpiring. Pay that no mind. All is happening according to plan.
What I am here to address is your role in holding that sense of love and compassion for all — not just any particular group, but for all groups — for the sense of being in groups is really an outward expression of separation. And we all know there is no separation, not really. We are all children of the One, so hold that love for all, and above all, hold that same compassion for yourself.
It will seem at times like the world has lost its mind, is going crazy, and it will be difficult to see where we’re going, what the outcome is going to be. Hold fast to the love within you. Hold to that sense of compassion for all others.
Everyone will be going through this time of transition together. All will be experiencing the same sense of confusion. Do you need to know what is coming? No, not at all. And, in fact, it does serve the plan to some degree that you not know, so that you are feeling that same sense of turmoil and confusion and uncertainty that all will feel, and then you, all of you, can be the lighthouse, can show them the way to safety, show them the way to peace, and ultimately, to hope.
All will be well. There is no reason for fear. As you all have been discussing recently, fear is a construct based in either the future, which has not yet happened, or the past, which is already gone. Rather, hold yourself within the present and just BE, knowing who you are, why you came, what you came here to do, to be that shining light for all others.
In this, we have no doubts about your ability to do so. You have already proven yourself many, many times over.
It may feel like you’re being tested in the days to come, but again, there is no such thing. What will happen must happen in order for all truth to come to light, even if that is completely contrary to what you think at the moment. And as you said earlier in the day — very wisely, I might add — that you are also preparing yourself for the possibility that everything that you think you know you are wrong!
It is better at this time to simply fall back on the one point that never changes. You are love. You are a child of the One, and all will be well.
This picture was snapped just as we, Sue, Rob and I -Jen- started to come on for last month’s conversation and you can see by our faces, we really love Spirit CAFE!! It’s not just the camaraderie, it’s also the way we spur each on to find the highest perspective, the one that makes your heart zing and eases life’s tensions. I always feel like I’m walking on air after one of our CAFE conversations!
SPIRIT CAFE WILL BE OPEN this Saturday, December 14th, from 11 am to noon EST. Come & be with us for a heart-lifting discussion. Come as you are, sit in & listen or contribute to the conversation. We love to be with you!
On Saturday, we’ll start with the topic Finding Joy, share some personal stories and reflection — Is joy available, present or rare, abundant or elusive? I find It’s like taming a wild fox… joy can be a process of cultivating trust. Once you make friends with joy, it’ll continue to surprise and delight you!
So get your favorite cuppa and bring it on over to a wonderful heart-felt sharing in our Zoom room,as we feel through Finding Joy. For some tips and laughs… Join us this month!
