#625 Though Reality is Otherwise

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for us, for your readers, and for all of humanity on this Christmas Day?

My wish is for the blanket of spiritual awakening
to spread over the entire earth,
though reality is otherwise.

I wish for joy and peace,
health and stability, feast and fairness,
for all beings,
though reality is otherwise.

I wish for the breath of life to become
most strongly imbued
with gentleness and calmness,
with energetic awareness and truth,
with the realization of the interconnectedness of all things,
though reality is otherwise.

I wish to speak of love and beauty upon that earth,
of the sense of belonging permeating all beings,
of the specialness of one to another
beyond all boundaries and all personal agendas,
though reality is otherwise.

I wish to invite the people of the world
and all the nations of the world
to lay down their arms,
to drop their arguments,
to forget their disputes,
and turn to one another in recognition
of the energetic disposition of all beings,
though reality is otherwise.

On this day, I invite you
to think deeply upon the self,
upon the judgments and postures,
the ideas and thoughts
that keep all of you isolated and separate,
friendless and distant,
though a different reality exists.

I invite you to reconsider your beliefs,
your premises of the meaning of existence,
and your ultimate goals in life
and find that different reality.

I invite you all to shift from focus
on the needs of one nation
and instead focus on the true needs
of each individual upon that earth
to exist as you desire,
no more privileged and no less poverty stricken
than you wish to be,
and find that reality is individually based,
not mass based or based on the strengths
of one nation over another.

I wish to invite you
to become known as a being of energy,
living in a different reality
where all beings are given admiration,
respect, and love,
simply for the fact that they exist
and their lives are equally meaningful
no matter their circumstances
or their position in the world.

I wish to invite you into humbleness of spirit,
into a new season of awareness
based on this humility that exists
at the base of a different reality,
in the current energy that runs through you all
and presents you with your humble truths,
your humble lies and your humble problems,
your humble accomplishments,
your humble arguments,
your humble posturing,
with your humble self who exists
beneath the presentation
of life all around you.
I invite you to become humble citizens of a new reality,
though a different reality exists.

A time of shift approaches
where every single individual upon that earth
has the opportunity to accept
the blanket of spiritual awakening
as a new reality;
to humbly accept the awareness of self
as no more or less than every other self
(individual) upon that earth;
for all are comprised of energy,
humbleness, and truth.

These aspects must now be made known
and outerly expressed for a new reality
to accompany the blanket of awareness
that does not cover the truth,
but clearly reveals it,
exposing all that it must make known,
asking for participation
so that humbleness and love for all
may now advance upon that earth
over greed, corruption, and deceit.

This is a Christmas to recognize as different,
for it does not meet the old standards.
The times upon that earth
do not breed good will to all men
and this is the truth of now,
but that is only because such sentiments
are based in a world of untruths,
of pretend, and of greed.

A new world is on the horizon.
Do you wish to partake in it,
to move forward into humble acceptance of the self
and all others who exist upon that earth,
even the most hateful and despicable,
as necessary and equal?
This is the challenge of a new world
as the blanket of awareness drops its clarity of vision
and its energetic intent upon the world stage.

Though the reality of now is different,
it does not need to stay stuck.
A new opportunity is offered to each one of you.
Your humbleness is being invited outwardly.
A new expression of humanity
is being enticed into reality
and that has the potential to truly change the world.

Merry Humble Christmas to All!

#624 You are the Choice Maker

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for us today?

It is time to become fully responsible, holding the self accountable for all actions, progress, transgressions, and life’s unfolding. By accepting responsibility for your own life, every moment of it, you offer your self the gift of freedom of choice. Freedom of choice comes only with the fact of ownership of every aspect of self, unbeholden to others. By becoming fully responsible for the past, present, and future self, your power, spent aimlessly in the pursuit of outer recognition and blame, will return to its rightful place as your own trusty energy.

I advise much contemplation and absolution, it at all possible, over the next few days. I advise inward turning and inward acceptance of the self, of life’s events and problems, of all that now plagues you, for only in fully accepting the self will you resolve the issues of power and responsibility. Only in truly owning every aspect of the self will you advance, truly advance, in your soul’s journey upon that earth.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, uncertain, unsure of where to go next, what to do with your life, who to turn to? I advise turning inward for the answers to these and all other questions that may arise or that may remain brewing beneath the surface of your awareness, as yet unknown. Only in delving inward will you discover your answers, in the truthful speak of the inner self.

In order to do this deep inner work, this self-contemplation, you must be aware that it is necessary. You must accept your own role in your life as the most powerful one, fully responsible and fully in control. Control of your life and resolution of the problems in your life come from inside you, rarely from outside. Your outer world merely reflects your needs, desires, and issues, aiding you, offering you means of progress, teaching you what you must learn and in other ways showing you the possibilities that life offers. But, and this is the most important aspect of responsibility and control, you are the choice maker and by your choices will you grow, both externally upon that earth and internally upon your soul’s journey.

This is a time of forceful energy as it begins to build over the next few weeks, offering you the option of turning inward or turning outward. The old habits will attempt to override your inner process. The outer draws will be great. The inner process will remain calmly waiting for your return to its work on the self. Keep always in mind that each choice you make over the next time of energetic building is one that you alone must make. You are responsible. You are fully in control. You are powerful. Seek to use these most cherishable and energetic gifts. Seek growth.

Website Updates

Over the next few days and weeks we will be updating the content on the website. A new side panel showing recent comments will appear allowing for easier access to reader comments that are now embedded in each post. This will offer the opportunity for you, our readers, to perhaps engage in a dialogue with each other and with us as well. We’ve been enjoying the process so far, but realize that it needs to be more accessible and obvious, so hopefully the new format will help. Thank you to those of you who have been commenting thus far. It has been a pleasure reading your insights and experiences.

We intend to maintain our current channeling and blogging schedule over the holidays, though we will be taking a break from our psychotherapy and hypnosis work until after the New Year.

An energetic happy holidays to all!
Love from all of us,
Jan, Chuck, and Jeanne

AVATAR

We highly recommend the movie Avatar. An experience of energy and the interconnectedness of all things, of everything that Jeanne talks about, very Jungian, shamanic, environmentally and politically astute (and much more), thoroughly engaging, with a great and satisfying story this movie is not to be missed. Hopefully you can see it in 3D. This is not a movie for small children, though it will engage anyone on some level. We have not seen such a thoroughly satisfying movie in a long time.

#623 Like a Leaf Upon the Breeze

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
What message do you have for humanity today?

This is a time of shift, yet is it up to each one of you to engage in it, to partake of the opportunities that arise to further you along. You exist as a leaf upon a tree. When the winds come, when the time is right, you will be buffeted and loosened, knocked from your connection and sent swirling down from your perch. Will you allow the breeze to lift you and carry you afar on your true journey? Will you fall to the mulchy ground beneath the tree of life and merge with the undergrowth? Will you sit silently awaiting the call to move on, stumbling along the ground, a leaf on the wind that has come to carry you?

Your lives upon that earth are energetically spurred, attached, and set up so that you have many opportunities in a lifetime to awaken, become aware, and move on to new life. New life comes in many forms, both subtle and forceful, engagingly enticing and fearfully alerting, yet do you always have the option to flow or not to flow. Even the tiniest leaf upon the ground may tumble but an inch before it hunkers down among the dead and dying mulching leaves, electing no more engagement in adventure.

Do you see what I am proposing to you today? I am in the mood to suggest that awakening opportunities are present in every moment of every day. Even if you are buffeted by the wind, a leaf upon the breeze, are you aware that this is so? Are you aware of your journey, your own energy, and the energy outside of you pushing you along? Do you feel controlled by your life? Are you unaware that you have total control, if only you would wake up and engage in the energy that is not only present in your life but fully necessary, previously arranged so that you might grow?

Each one of you upon that earth has the opportunity to awaken at any moment to the flow of your life, on an energetic scale, as part of all energy, meant to be, but also eager to exist, if only you will allow for it. This is the final question I pose to you today: Can you allow your self to fully exist, as an energetic being on a mission of growth and evolution, energetically propelled and engaged? You are all energy beings. You are all capable of more fully engaging the energy around you.

During this time of shift and great potential for human growth, perhaps you will energetically protest your usual routines, habits, thoughts, behaviors, ideas, and rituals, and reengage in the fresh new energy that is calling you, asking you to notice what is really happening inside of you and outside of you. Find out how you are really feeling. State you truths and live by them. Decide to use the energy for a real shift and you will be supported greatly in your endeavors.

Find your calmness, your balance, your heart-centered goodness, and lift the edge of your awareness out of the place where you are caught and like a leaf upon the breeze allow your self to travel some place new, without fear, open to the journey ahead.
