When you open your heart to the truth and dare yourself to try on something new, such as a new idea, a new thought, a new daily routine, you offer yourself the opportunity of a lifetime, the opportunity to experience something new and different. Such an openhearted decision can change your life. When you find yourself stuck, when you just can’t move forward, we highly recommend that you just try a little bit of spiritual woo-woo and see if it doesn’t make you feel a whole lot better. You have plenty of woo-woo right inside your chest, in your ability to take a few deep breaths, in your ability to love unconditionally, in your daring to speak words of positivity and encouragement. You can manifest anything you want if you just start giving it the woo-woo that you have been avoiding. You never know what might transpire if you just try.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Chuck’s Place: The Hidden World Of Beliefs

Beliefs Manifest…
-Artwork © 2026 Jan Ketchel

Beliefs are thoughts that become living things. There is an energy of intent in a belief that attracts matter to it to express its realness in physical form. Even when beliefs are disproven or go out of fashion they nonetheless remain subtle energetic entities, capable of a comeback at any time. Be mindful of your intent.

The time we now live in is filled with old beliefs finding new playing time on the world stage. Inwardly, we are subject to all the ancient beliefs of humankind that lie dormant in the depths of what Jung called the collective unconscious.

Our subconscious mind has access to all these beliefs in the depths of the unconscious. In fact many of these beliefs have become instinctual habits during the course of human evolution. Thus, for instance, if our life were to be threatened, the instinct of self-preservation would likely override our thinking mind and have us act instinctively to save our life.

Some instinctual habits may actually threaten life. Racism can be seen, at least in part, as issuing from a primitive self-preservation instinct that categorizes people as part of an in-group with similarities, or an-out group with many differences. The out-group is seen as dangerous and becomes subject to racist treatment.

Within our psyche we are subject to many old beliefs from our evolutionary history, as well as family history and post-birth socialization. There are consensus beliefs that form a consensus reality. The notion of old age, and illnesses associated with aging, is a strong consensus reality.

What we believe does become our physical reality, even if we don’t know that we believe it. How often do we check in with our age and understand our physical condition to be ‘normal’ for our age. With this thought, we then affirm to our subconscious mind that we are in agreement with the ancient program for bodily conditions in aging.

The wonder of the subconscious is that although, like AI, it has access to all knowledge, it gives absolute preference to the beliefs of the conscious mind in directing its actions, unless an unconscious powerful belief upstages its conscious intent. Know thyself, deeply. This does place an awesome responsibility upon the conscious mind to truly be a man or woman of knowledge.

Don Juan Matus distinguished two kinds of shamans in ancient Mexico: men and women of knowledge, and sorcerers. Though both groups had mastery of the powers of the subconscious mind, sorcerers acted from self-importance and exploitation. People of knowledge acted from the heart, in alignment with Spirit.

To act from the heart one must do an honest inventory of the beliefs one houses in the hidden depths of the self. One must be willing to go it alone if one’s heart is not in agreement with conventional wisdom.

As I experience it, all objective reality is relative. Everything that we believe becomes a reality. If I hear someone sneeze and believe I have been infected, I will likely begin to sneeze and manifest a cold. And that cold is absolutely real! So of course, who could deny its validity?

On the other hand, if we are able to detach from all the hidden beliefs, agreements that were made without our conscious consent, we are freed to introduce beliefs to the subconscious mind that may construct a reality of our choosing. The greater the concentration, the greater the success.

The subconscious mind attaches to the premise most powerfully presented to it. Hence, repetitive affirmations expressed with powerful emotion and supportive mental imagery attract the subconscious to accept its intent as its premise for manifestation.

Our current world leaders are exercising the powers of the subconscious mind through sorcery. We all have the power to free ourselves from the influences of sorcery by becoming men and women of knowledge, believing and acting for the greater good for all.

Be confident and responsible in all belief,
Chuck

We do not mean to cause alarm, but we do mean to shake you awake. If you are not awakened you may find yourself lost in a new world, where nothing looks or feels or acts as expected, where what you once relied on no longer holds up, and where your old expectations of life, of others, and where the world that you have upheld with your strong beliefs and rules no longer shows up for you in an old way. You are going to have to accept what is. But we strongly encourage that you adopt an openminded approach and listen to what we on the other side are saying, for it is in the once unknown and unbelievable that you will begin to find your grounding, your answers, and your future. From the old world there is little to bring forth, but you do have the power of your own breath within you, so use that for grounding, for meditation, for health and peace of mind and body and you will be fully supported no matter what happens.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

The changes that are happening in the world are part of the great shift forward. We have mentioned this before and we will continue to remind you just how important it is for you, every one of you, to remain cognizant of your thoughts, your beliefs, your actions, your speech. What you think, say and do matters. If you have strong beliefs that you just can’t let go of, you may be holding back the energy of change that will find some other way to get going in the direction it needs to go in. If you just don’t want change to happen, you may have to change your mind and catch up later, because things are changing whether you like it or not. The best thing you can do for yourself, and the rest of the planet, is to adopt an open mindset, an open heart, and start believing in the unbelievable, because that is where the energy of now is taking you, into the unbelievable.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Things can change very rapidly in ordinary times, but you live in unordinary times, in times of great progression. You live in one of the greatest times of planetary and cosmic shift, when one thing impacts another incessantly, so that every little thing that is enacted has a great impact. Every little thing that is thought has an impact. Every little belief has an impact. Every little thing that is said has an impact. Every good deed has an impact just as every bad deed does as well. Keep on the positive side of life and you will be contributing to the greater good on an extraordinary scale, for everything that happens now is happening on an extraordinary scale.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
