Dear Jeanne,
Today is the first day of a new year, the year 2010. As I write this, I have such a strong feeling that this is going to be a very meaningful year, that we stand on a verge, that efforts to shift will be accomplished, that changes will now happen that have been pending for a long time. I also feel very hopeful. Do you have any comments?
It is right to feel hopeful, for as a new year begins there is always joy at the anticipation of things to come, yet do I also caution that the world, at this very moment, the universe and everything in it, stands beside you on that verge of change, awaiting with bated breath for mankind to determine not only his own fate but the fate of the planet he inhabits. This is not a time to be foolhardy or to take anything for granted. It is a time to be serious. That being said, I do not wish to dampen your spirits, or your feelings of hopefulness, for they are indeed the feelings that will accompany you into this coming time of change, impacting all your decisions, as individuals and as a group of human beings.
A new spirit of awareness, coupled with hopeful joy, will aid you all now as you step out into a new day, a new year, and offer yourselves the opportunity for a new life. Shifting into new life is not accomplished overnight. Though you have awoken to a new year it took the whole previous year to attain this status of newness and it was indeed accomplished through many trials, tribulations, deeds, misdeeds, hard work and equally hard play. Life is continual and though you prefer to section it into segments of time I ask that you look upon your entire past as having led you to this day, this new point, and rely upon your knowledge of the past to show you what not to do, as well as what is appropriate behavior in order for the newness to be lasting and for a shift to truly happen.
What do you foresee for us this year?
I foresee the culmination of many wrongdoings. I see the escalation of war and hatred, yet do I also see it burning itself out, perhaps not in one year’s time, but the fires for finishing it will be laid and set alight. I see that America, the country, though it is made up of many concerned, honest, and good citizens, sits on the brink of disaster, though the energy of the universe wishes her to turn in the opposite direction where hope and purity of vision wait to greet her.
There is much to be learned from this viewpoint, from standing on the brink. One has quite a clear picture of the past and an equally clear picture of the future. This is so for all. You, each one of you, do have clarity today. You know what has transpired. You see clearly the year gone by and you see your future as well. Do not deny that you are capable of this. This clarity is asking you to do the right thing for your self, to be honest and faithful to your vision of heart and insight, to be truthful from this day forth, so that you may truly change your self and your world. This is a day when clarity may actually be the greatest weapon of change that each person upon that globe may take up and truly utilize for good.
Do you see disaster happening in the world if mankind does not change now?
I have seen disaster coming for a long time. I am not alone in this. You too have felt it, all of you. If you allow your truths to be spoken aloud you will hear the underlying truth of imminent disaster being spoken all around you, as well as inside each of you. But I do not predict anything, for you are fully capable of causing shift from the brink of disaster, though you will also have to deal with the consequences of your actions and activities, personally and upon that earth.
I wish to send you into joyous newness, for I know this is what you now feel, all of you, for it is a most auspicious time upon that earth.
Yes, it does feel that way. The year 2010 has such a futuristic feel to it, and I wonder if we are ready to accept a different kind of future, because I see it before us.
It is up to each one of you to attend to your personal brinks of disaster, to turn from the disaster side of the brink, from falling into devastation, fear, hatred, and desire of that which no longer holds up and turn to the other side of the brink where something new, unknown, and yes, fearful, awaits as well. The one side of the brink is very known, and I know you are bored out of your mind by it, by the repetition of the same old stuff being played out. I know you are ready to turn your back on it as you turn toward this New Year. But I ask that you first stand and look back at the old and fully accept your part in it. Take what you learn from it and dare to turn in a new direction. That is how you will face the New Year properly, with maturity and self-acceptance of your own life. In taking full responsibility for all actions may you step into a new year holding onto your hopeful joy, for then are you worthy of its bountiful energy. Then you are ready to use it wisely and well, no matter what comes to greet you.
Do you have a final comment for your readers?
Yes. I do not wish to sound gloomy, but I think you all know me well enough by now to accept that I always ask you to take full responsibility for the self and your decisions in life. Jan’s contention that there are feelings of joyfulness and hope on this day is indeed a correct summation of future prospects as well, energetically speaking. But you must make some choices that will use that energy to shift the self. In time, your own turning from the brink and toward a new plan will certainly impact the world around you as well, because you are all interconnected. Keep this in mind, as you enter this new time: the impact of YOU is great.
Never doubt that you have the power to change what you know must change. Today, you are granted the clarity to see what that is, and tomorrow? Well, tomorrow you must face the first decision that this year offers you.
