Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message of guidance for us today?
Take the focus off the worrisome self now and turn your attention to the evolving self. Attention upon worries is a waste of energy, for worries are but preying upon you, eating up your available reserves, tapping in to the very source of who you are, stealing from you blatantly in open daylight. Do you not see this? As attention is given to worries so is your energy deemed available, and it is eagerly lapped up, as if wild beasts had come to your door and discovered a crack of entry.
Your worries do not solve problems, not does the focus on your worries solve problems. The only thing that solves problems is time and evolutionary choice. Seek today to disengage from worry; this is your challenge.
Step back a moment from your reality, and take a new look. Where would you like to focus your energy? On your calm, and your balance, as you know you should? Well, do that, do that now. Find your center, breathe in to it, and get yourself into a place of calm relaxation. This will allow you to reassert and revisualize your life. Take a few minutes to enact this calm in yourself and them come back to my words, ready to accept what I say.
Okay now. The proper energetic solution to worry is to disengage from it. Easier said than done, you say? Yes, I know that, but, and this is a big but, you must learn how to do this, and all it takes is practice, practice, practice. And in the practice of disengagement do you actually get to experience how life will play out of its own accord, and your worry has no part in that! Worry is merely a mind-eater, a mind-feeder, and draws your energy/attention from focus on what you should actually be doing with your energy. And you all know that I fully endorse spending your energy in meaningful and solitary spirit endeavors that will benefit you and all who are in your company.
Is your worry placed upon children? These creatures we produce are our biggest worry subjects, and that fact I accept. For in my own lifetime, as Jeanne Marie Ketchel, did I have just this worrisome focus, even though I knew better, but to detach from children is not only our biggest challenge in life, but also our biggest coup! Seek now this coup in your own life.
So, as I requested, now that you are calmer, step back from your life, your reality, and your children, your child, and even your inner child, if this is the one giving you problems. Take a good look, first at this child that is eating up your attention. Yes, I know you love and care deeply about this child. I know you wish this child a happy, safe, and fulfilling life, and I know your concerns for this child are real, and pertinent, and perhaps even necessary above all. But, please recall what I have many times said: ALL, even this child you now fear for, are on an independent journey, which all must undertake and grow with, a journey that will undoubtedly be full of challenges, and full of conflict, confrontations, and perhaps even danger. But, you, as a worthy parent, must allow this child to venture out into the world, unburdened of your worry and your fear, or you will tie it too deeply to you and your own fears. This will only damage it in its progress to maturity and evolutionary discovery of itself as a truly separate spirit on its own journey, which really has little to do with your own, except that you were the vehicle for its entry into this life.
Look at this child in a new fashion now. See yourself as its path of entry into this realm, and as its earliest influence. Have you filled it with love and knowledge? Guided it to understand life, taught it all that you know? Can you not now launch that child in to its own world now, different, oh so very different, from your own? But, do you not see how good this is? How fortunate that it is not living your life, but its own? Give your child, your boy or girl child, or your inner child, or your child to be, the gift of life, as you were never given it. Give it the knowledge now of its own spirit journey, its own responsibility for living its life fully, with maturity, with care of itself and others, constantly aware that it has a mission in this life, and it is up to it to find out what that is.
As parents we are but facilitators along the path, nudges, meant to push our fledglings out of the nest to discover their wings and launch themselves, with our energetic push, out into the world to discover it for themselves. Fill them early with all that you know that is true and right, and treat them always as true spirit beings even as you wish to be treated, for they retain what you teach and what you show, and they will have this always packed inside them. Show them love, and caring, and respect, and a mature knowledge of energetic responsibility for all who come into contact with your energy and theirs.
Keep them clear of your own fears. For the worst thing a parent can do is burden a child with old fears that have nothing to do with that child. Leave that child pristine in this sense, so that it may understand that fear and worry passed down from generation to generation are blocks along the evolutionary path. But, do teach, of course, to use awareness of fear and worry as instinctual signs to go cautiously forward and read the signs in life that seek to guide.
Instinct and knowing, paying attention to the deepest inner knowledge are skills that a new generation must begin now to learn and to utilize. For the entire world is changing and fears of old do not apply any longer. But new focus and new awareness must be placed on individual spirit knowing and respect for all as spirit entities. Only in this manner can the world change. With respect for all as spirit energy first, is there the possibility to change the world.
Even as that great country of America does barrel forward uncontrollably, seeking further growth, further consumption, and further wealth, so must this new generation turn it back into itself and seek to regain the true meaning of the independent spirit that once grounded it and offered refuge to adventurers and seekers of growth. For that is the grounding of that country, a new world for spirit energy to explore and grow in, getting it right finally, so that the entire world could change as a result of true evolutionary grounding.
That country has come far from its original intent, even as the vast majority of souls have come far from spirit intent, forgetting that their journey upon that earth is not one of human needs, but one of spirit needs. So, to get back to the issues of children, of all children, inside and outside us, what is it they truly need? Love and guidance; training in instinct and spirit knowing; and the clear insight that they are on their own evolutionary journey; that we, as parents, are meant to launch them and allow them to be free agents in the world, detached from us and the beginning we gave them, yet fully capable of acknowledging that we each did the best we could, at the time, for them.
Do not, as parents, hold yourselves accountable for their lives. Your job is to do what you can with your fullest abilities as you too progress [evolve]. There are many parents who do not choose to progress [evolve] and, sad as this may be, so do they offer their children the gift of great early challenge in order to guide them to knowledge of their own journey, perhaps more quickly, giving them internal knowing of spirit at an early age.
Our jobs as human beings is not out in the workforce, but within, where we seek to remember why we are there, and understand the reasons for our lives, the tracks they have taken, and reasons for what we now know. Give the children the knowledge that you now learn about life, about energy, about journeys, and remind them to seek always their own evolutionary spirit, and seek to discover why they are there, what does their life mean for them alone, what are they meant to do with it, and where are they truly meant to go.
Take away from them the burden of your worries, and your fears. Tell them that the choices they make in life must be for them and their life, not ever for you and your life. Give them the freedom of life by taking off them the burdens that you carry, and send them off into their own energetic existence free, really free, of your expectations and your desires. In order for the world to change must the children of the world, and I mean this in every context of the word “children,” be free to explore their own meaning for life upon that earth, equipped with knowledge of spirit, of past lives, and future lives, and of future energetic existence. Give them the BIG PICTURE of life and you give them the biggest gift of all.
Free them the way your spirit wishes to be free. And in this unburdening of them, taking back your worries, and your fears, do you offer yourself the example of how to proceed in your own life. Now take that knowledge with you into your calm, and know fully that life itself desires this freedom, this detachment, this unburdening, in order to fully progress on its spiritual journey. Untie the ties that bind, all of them, whether they be fear, worry, sorrow, desperation, or any issue that plagues you, and release, not only your own spirit energy, but offer this freedom to everyone else who comes in contact with you. Show by your example that life is not only a wonderful adventure and a challenge that must be fully encountered and lived, but also that life is an exquisite spiritual journey that also must be fully encountered and lived on that spiritual level. Send out children who are calm and balanced and fully knowing that they are spirit energy first and foremost, and you have done your part to change the world.
So, feel good about that! Our journeys in life upon that earth must be put into these contexts that I have described and laid out, or we will not progress beyond that world, and as good as it may sometimes get, it is but a stepping stone to true reality of spirit and energy that allows us to see more than meets the earthly eye. The eyes you now see with are missing a lot. Open your eyes to new possibilities and tell your children to keep their own eyes wide open, trusting all that comes their way as meaningful and guiding signs that they are being offered knowledge of truth and reality meant for them on their journey.
Observe how they choose to live, but do not live their lives. Observe how they choose to utilize the guidance they receive, but do not become attached to their decisions. Know always that they too must learn their own lessons, even as you do, and that they too have within them the same spirit abilities that you do, and that they are deeply affected by the choices they make, even as you are by your own.
Life is meant to be lived. Allow it to unfold, as it will. Offer guidance when appropriate, but guidance of spirit, not guidance of burdens; guidance of truth, not guidance of worry or fear; guidance of life as an evolutionary journey; and knowledge of each and every one of us as ultimately responsible for our own journey and no one else’s, neither we for theirs nor they for ours. The time will come when we all must know it is time to let them go off into their futures, fully ready to take on life. Grant them this time. They will look back at you with gladness for your trust in them, and then turn toward their futures, strengthened by your unburdening of them, and your swiftness of heart in granting them access to their own spirit journeys.
Bon voyage, all you young children of the world; go out and change it!
