I’ve been mulling over the value of long term relationships, as my husband and I were approaching our 50th wedding anniversary early in May. Many of our generation have divorced, had multiple marriages, many married later, or not at all, some sadly have even lost their long term partner to death, so a Golden Anniversary feels like we are triply blessed… yet, why do I feel like questioning the value of spending one’s whole life with one person? This wonderful heart to heart with my dear Mary Magdalen, during one of our channeling sessions, put it all in perspective for me, and I am deeply grateful. Enjoy the channeling…
(This illustration is from a little calendar on my desk given to me by a sweet old friend I’ve known since high school)
Jennifer: It’s very timely for me, this idea of the value of the long term relationship. 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.
Are there any other questions about long relationships? Or relationships in general?
Teammate 1: As you were talking, it occurred to me this whole notion that our chosen other has to think like we do and have the same interest that we do is completely false, in that it’s actually the differences between our interests that make us more complete as a whole. Is that true?
Mary M: Very well said. Yes, indeed, it is true. It is actually more in the nature of friendship where one will find a complete coinciding of interests. Say you have a bowling buddy, someone you enjoy bowling with and you look forward to your Friday nights -or whatever it is- and you love those friends, because they enjoy what you enjoy. That is fine, but that’s not your primary relationship.
It is very good for there to be a a real difference, a significant difference in your approach to life, if you’re going to continue to spur each other into new areas of understanding.
Teammate 1: Yes, thank you.
Mary M: Yes. And [Teammate 2] ?
Teammate 2: … I was just wondering for my relationship. We are very different. He’s not on the spiritual path although he accepts me, which is the love, right? And so when we come into this Earth, I mean, we have a choice though too, right? It’s a choice. I mean, I’m very happy, but I was just wondering, like, how much of it is a choice and how much it is we come into this world, this plane, this earth, at this time, together? You know, I was just wondering what the differences, the nuances are; I guess it just depends.
Mary M: Well, it is it is a longer topic, perhaps, than we have time for today. But I would say you are well aware of the choices that you will be coming to within your life. Your friend A and your friend B and your friend C have all said, “Oh yes, I’ll be in a relationship with you.” And then, when it comes time, A may feel a little better than B, or C may, in fact, be the most comfortable. And this is why many young people go through, or later in life if one happens to be single, you go through a period of “Should it be this person or should it be that person that I build my nest with?” you see, “that I choose to be with most of the time.”
It doesn’t mean that’s the only love possible in life for you. Love is always possible, but you have planned this rather thoroughly and carefully, ahead of time, with total understanding on everyone’s part, that whatever works out will be fine.
Teammate 2: Right. thank you
When you feel finished with a relationship, be true to yourself, and honor that. This one keeps asking herself “Well, isn’t this long enough? It doesn’t feel like it’s finished.” So it continues and it continues, until it feels finished. And when it is very finished, you know it, because you know you’re not in alignment with yourself anymore. You’re not in integrity with yourself. But as long as your relationship is thriving, you are learning, you are growing and you are stretching yourselves in your ability to communicate and support one another, the relationship is of great value.
Yes, I’d be happy to talk about this more another time. I do fancy myself somewhat of an expert in the field of relationships…(chuckle). It has been my great delight to be talking with you today.
Jennifer Donaldson Channeling Mary Magdalen 5/3/2024
This message came just as the new leaves were opening on the trees in my part of New England… with her words she is inviting us to open our eyes, ears, and hearts to the blessings that are being offered to us every day now from Mother Earth. By being in real relationship with her, the physically present expression of the Great Divine Mother, we align our ascension with hers! Happiest of Springs, my brothers and sisters! Love, Jennifer 
I am Mother Mary. I wish to offer you my beloved children all great love on this day. Do you not feel the glory in the air? Do you not hear the exultation of new leaves? Do you not feel the bliss of the newly opening woodland flowers? They channel their divine nature, which is Love, expressed as Joy, experienced by you as Beauty. They – the Spring signs — all are communicating the love, the joy, the beauty of life to you, as their blessing to your collective life in physicality.
If you would receive their myriad blessings, they would be most grateful ~ as it is one thing to BE in blessing, as you are, and another to SHARE in the communion through perceiving the blessing, acknowledging it and taking it into your energy ~ where you will find an answering blessing well up from your depths and flower forth for sharing in turn.
This is the bliss of beingness beginning to be available to you in these ascending times on your Mother planet. She is deeply in bliss and extends her bliss-ing/her blessings to all who tune into/turn in toward her energies. It is so simple!
You are not separate, though you practice separation by old habits of walling yourselves into your constructed compartments. Go out of doors/out of walls more to experience the beneficence of your Mother’s love for you. She is not restricted to her territory, but She will honor your choice to be parted from her, as any good mother will do with her emerging children. So you must choose to visit with her. She waits patiently, as long as you like, and her rejoicing lights the heavens when you return to her embrace!
You may be holding the idea that independence means being separate from your parent(s), that self-determination demands you going/growing away from your parent(s). Not so. This idea that so many cling to is based in lack of trust that your Mother truly desires your freedom — and more, supports it. She knows that in freedom is the creation and fulfillment of the more of All That Is.
Freedom is granted and Divinity will never take it away. You may trust your Mother in this, she will never seek to dominate you, only to support your choices. By being an open recipient of her love, and expressing your divine heart of blessing in return, you strengthen your true nature to enable your human self to explore and fulfill your greater potential as ascending soul in human form.
Reclaiming your relationship with your 5-D Mother Earth is the Yes! choice which will most easily and rapidly assist your own ascension! Go ahead, She is waiting for you…step into her embrace… you will be glad you did.
With great love, I am Mother Mary ~ sister expression to Gaia/ Tara/ Mother Earth and One with the Great Divine Mother of all Creation. Blessings.
3-23-2013:
My Brothers and Sisters: this week’s message holds a surprising image and sensation that has appeared now and again in my meditations. What can I say? I am a mystic and sometimes love comes in this way, as the nursing mother and child; perhaps to fulfill one of our deepest human longings for the experience of perfect love. How many lives have we had wherein, as infants, we were left outside to die, or raised in the meanest of emotional environments? Even now many babies are born to undernourished mothers and cannot thrive. In this life, I have had a wonderful mother, but when I was born in the 50’s, modern women did not nurse; formula was the new scientifically correct way to feed babies. Of course, I compensated for that when I had my own babies! More recently, one of my favorite memories of my first grandchild was when, at almost three, she looked up from her (by that time occasional) nursing at her mother’s breast and announced to me with a big milky grin: “I’m having my mama’s milk!” As if it was her right and her joy! When we are done, we outgrow it, and grow into the ability to offer it in turn to the next generation.
This message is from Gabriel, the archangel closest to me throughout my life. It was news to me that Gabriel might be Gabrielle, more feminine than masculine, as other channels have portrayed her. I don’t feel a gender, just totally unconditional love. But s/he did give me this message, with exquisite appreciation for what it feels like to be both the child and the mother in this transfer of loving energy. I have always loved it that Gabriel was the one who came to announce Mary’s motherhood of the Christ child, who was to be the Light of the world. Isn’t it amazing, that we are now each the Christ Child? ~ with loving blessings, Jennifer
Good Day, this is Gabriel. Greetings and salutations!
I salute you all as you are moving so beautifully into your peace, into your joy ~ allowing yourselves to rest more and more into the spaces [image: between the leaves of a tree] rather than forcing yourselves to focus on distinguishing what is, from what is, making mental distinctions, and pushing yourselves to follow old mental rutted pathways.
You have gone “off the path”, laid down your bicycle, are resting [lying on your back] under the tree and looking up. You are breathing more calmly, deeply, and resting in Ahhhhh… As you look up, you see the leaves, but also the beautiful pattern made by the spaces between the green leaves of the tree [image: ash leaves, like millions of vesica pisces with serrated edges, overlapping], and you see the brilliant blue of the sky in tracery around the leaves neither more important or more compelling to your view, but each equally present to your eyes…. And to your heart.
Can you feel your heart pulsing in the pleasure of being alive in this moment, as the heart pumps blood filled with this beautiful sight infused into the oxygen as you take in each breath? Can you feel the tingling of the oxygen’s excitement as it brings the good news of the leaves and the sky, the green and the blue, the dance of breeze and light to every cell in your body? Oh, how your being delights in its physical form sensing the vital expressions of the Mother’s Life!
Our Divine Mother most lovingly extended herself into physical form to hold you in your fragmented states, as you grew, little by little, back together again. Over and over, timelessly, she has held you and given you of her own body, as a mother to her child, so that you might grow and flourish. Her love, her tender guardianship, her commitment, her blessings surround and infuse your physical experience, whether you notice it or not. Noticing does, however, enable you to plumb the depths of gratitude allowing all that she shares with you to be received, and the potential for fulfillment – joyous completion – to be nurtured.
Now you are in the stage of waking to your new bodies in this higher vibration, and the first thing you notice is her warmth, her heart of love committed to caring for your every need. You feel your lips on her breast with the rich and delicious stream of loving milk moving through your mouth and down your throat in a golden pearly river, settling into your abdomen under your own heart, beating its echo, its “Life! Life! Life!” rhythm of affirmation.
Next you open your eyes, stuck after millennia of self-inflicted separation, and through damp crusted lashes, you gaze up at her smile, her eyes, her aura of radiance and wisdom – such blessings she shines onto you and to every of your brothers and sisters! Each of you are offered all the love and nurturing you desire to finally and irrevocably know that you belong to your divine family, you are wanted, welcomed and tended in joy, and infinitely understood and cherished.
Begin at the beginning dearest ones, allow yourself to be new-born to the sublime awakening into the arms of Love. Just as you give willingly to each of your little ones as they are born into your lives, so too are you welcomed home with gladness and unlimited willingness to help you in any way you like into the next stage of your growth as Souls traversing the realms of physicality.
Your adventure into the fifth and succeeding vibratory levels will be redolent with physical sensation. Do not think for a moment that ascension means you leave all the delights and wonders of the body behind. Indeed not. The 5th dimensional body is malleable, conforming to your desires and intentions, representing as your Soul plays and experiments. You have the ability now to change your expressions as you will. Not yet, in practice. You will become more adept as you acclimate to your new world, new stage, new roles.
Your great Mother Gaia, now playing with her own new vibrations will offer you many blessings, which you may open to receive to the degree that you live your moments in your heart.
I am Gabriel: Rejoice for you are loved.
