Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message of guidance for us today, as we continue to experience this time of shift and change?

Placate not the big baby in your self or others, but gently and firmly speak the truths that reveal themselves now in the light of dawn. For the dawning of truths is the new reality and the future must be based on the brutal facts that may come to interrupt the flow of your iniquities. Do not fall prey to worry. Do not fall prey to false assumptions and false pretenses. Do not fall prey to the protests of the underlying manipulators that exist inside you and outside you.

I warn, but I also urge awakening and alertness, for without conscious awareness of your own reality will you not be able to sustain your inner delight at the progress and the change now soon upon you. I know you do not wish to fall prey to your old habits, ideas, and fantasies, nor bury your self in oblivion. You do not wish to draw the blankets over your head or pull the curtains of your awareness closed, but you will be tempted to do so. Your balance now remains in focusing on the cold hard facts of your reality, your true life situation upon that earth. For there will be no progress if the truths and facts of your life are not fully examined and fully accepted. How can you move on, be free in your inner self, and free in your outer self, if you remain bound by old ideas, old darknesses, old methods of blindness, oblivion, and comforts that will keep you perpetually caught in a cycle of happy/unhappy, truth/untruth, newness/oldness, clarity/oblivion, in endless repetition, unable to move forward as the old wheels turn constantly in mesmerizing predictability?

Now it is up to you to jolt your self awake and out of the rut, leaping off the wheel of time that has you attached by its enticingly hearty motions that appear attractive, for it offers such regular glimpses of inner delight. But it does not take you to new places of interest and growth, though yes, it does treat you to good insights quite often.

In order to move forward now with the energy of change, with full participation, must you determine your own future based on the truths that constantly reveal themselves to you. Do not look to protect or nurture the old means of creating a balanced life, based on unclear facts and dim views of reality. Now, with truths in hand, make a choice for lasting change, a choice that will propel you through the golden door of opportunity, even though you do not see what is waiting for you there. Even though you are blinded by the light as it shines upon you, revealing the direction to take; in fact lighting your way; so do I encourage you to trust where your journey is leading you.

As a traveler, you have been preparing for this next leg of your journey for a long time. You have packed your bags with the essentials, knowing full well that everything you have experienced up until now has been and continues to be necessary for your journey. Now you are being asked to trust that the journey ahead is as necessary as the one in the past, that what is not being revealed is as valid as what was not revealed in the past, that your progress now is based on abilities already gained on your journey thus far taken.

To allow your self to be in command must be your next step of acquiescence to your self, the journeyer of truth, the one who knows full well that you can be trusted, for this you have already revealed to your self all these many years of life and adventure.

What do you fear? Do you fear others in your life? Or do you fear your own abilities to accept the gifts that others present you with? Do you request help and then refuse it? Why? Your gifts are meant for you or they would not be placed before you. Your gifts of clarity, awareness, and the gifts of your past are all prepared now in order for your future to be procured, accepted, and lived fully, which means differently, based on the challenges that letting go of the old and accepting of the new pose to you, as an individual journeyer.

I must admit that in my own life, as Jeanne Marie Ketchel, did I confront fear at every turn. I was not so advanced as you may believe, for I struggled constantly with being drawn back to my child self, abandoned at birth, but even before then. My child self sought comforts that did not allow for progress, but my warrior self did not allow that child self to rule the roost. My warrior self stood the test of the journey, over and over again, pushing me forward, sometimes without my conscious participation, in fact quite often was this so. But eventually, as I acquiesced to the journey that the great challenger, cancer, took me on, I learned that the only resolution for the inner child was for her to trust the warrior side, the connected-to-infinity side, to guide us correctly.

We must all learn what it means to let go, to acquiesce to our journey, step by step, letting go of something at each step forward. That is what you must keep in mind, that the history of a journey is not just a moving forward at all costs, but a process of letting go in order to move forward, as we make ourselves available for new adventures, new ideas, and new possibilities. There will be no newness of anything, if we do not participate in the process, if we do not give as we take, if we do not let go as we accept our new gifts.

Your gifts are asking you to trust your process. Your truths revealed, no matter how difficult and hard to bear they may be, are asking you to trust them too. Your journey is asking you to participate in its unfolding, now with consciousness more often than unconsciousness, with acquiescence rather than holding back, with letting go of the old rather than being stuck by the limitations of an old world that is not only crumbling, but that no longer has any value.

Whether you look at the outer world or your own inner world, it does not matter, the analogy of crumbling change is the same. The question to now pose to your self is: Do I want to remain behind in the crumbled remains, upholding ideas that are as ancient as the remains around me? Or do I want to determine my future based on what I now know about myself, the truths I have uncovered and revealed to myself, and the gifts being shown to me?

Am I ready to reach out and accept the hands offering those gifts of change, put my hands into the light and feel resonance, even though I may not clearly see where I am stepping? Am I ready to say yes to the journey of change, trusting it, though the future is not being revealed, and even though it is just a figment of imagination at this point? Am I prepared to go for it, scared though I am, trusting that it is right?

Trust that it is right. Trust your warrior self. Allow your inner child self to look to you now, your warrior self. Allow that child self to finally acquiesce to the journey you propose; that your warrior self and your guides propose. Allow your child self to be a participant with your adult warrior strongly and firmly in charge, for this is how it should be now.

Your new leader in America, your Obama, is one of these gifts being offered, asking you to go with him into the light. He asks for trust, and for participation from all of you, as equal warriors, like him, ready to blaze through the crumbled remains of a society and a world that no longer function in truth, honesty, and love. He is your warrior symbol outside of you, but he asks each of you to become warriors too, for he will lead, but he will not carry. He will point out the way, but he will not walk the path for you, but he invites you to walk the path beside him in full warrior fashion, each of you present, and protective of each other, for that is the warrior’s way. It’s your choice. Now is the time of choosing.

Good Luck, My Dear Ones. I must stress to you that the times now hold the power and the energy causing shift, that there are changes, and there will be more. What is happening now is but the tip of the iceberg. Do you not understand? You really have no choice regarding the truth of change. But you do have a choice in whether or not you fully embrace it, acquiesce to it, let go of the old, and pull your self up, fully present, so that your choice is conscious, based on true facts, and based on your adult knowing self offering your child self the gift of warrior strength, clarity, and daring. Your child self will be happy you did this, mine was.

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us today, as this unusual period of energetic activity continues to be present?

I cannot stress enough that the doorway of opportunity now being presented is the opening to a whole host of other possibilities leading to pure growth on a spirit level, both inner growth and outer growth in that world you live in. This time asks for participation and that is what I have been stressing in my recent messages. This is not a time to lie down and watch the world take off on a new angle. It is a time to participate in the energy, not only for your own benefit, but for the benefit of the world as well.

You live in a time of great change. Such a time is a rare, unearthly occurrence. It carries more significance than you alone will see or experience. Such energy impacts generations to come. You may feel the resonance of decisions made and actions taken now within your own lifetime too, and this is why you are being asked to consider the possibilities that will emerge as you elect to become more proactive in your own life and with your own potential.

As I have said, this is not a time to sit back and observe. It is a time to be daring, but not with abandon. It is a time to learn what it means to be an energetic being and to allow for a journey to unfold, as you acquiesce to your inner spirit intent, rather than be controlled by your outer world, your past, your old habits, and the habits of those around you.

It is a time to push your self to change now. Even while you hear that word spoken all around you, do not leave the changing up to others, for then will you not have the opportunities that you desire, but you will merely feel, in a peripheral manner, the energy as it wafts over you lying in your complacency. In your inability to participate, will you find your self left behind, a dying breed.

During times of great shift, when the distinct mark of evolutionary change happens, so is there always the segment of life that does not evolve, that does not shift, that does not flow with the energy of change. In all times of evolutionary change there are the ones left behind in the sediment, left to become fossils, remnants of an old way of life. Are you ready to become a fossil? Or are you energetically young enough to still carry forth into new life?

I do not mean to imply that this is a time of death, or a time of demise, except in a physical, mental, and spiritual evolutionary sense. If you do not choose to participate in this time of energetic shift and change that is being offered, so will your own spirit remain behind to dig itself out of the mire in lifetimes to come.

If you elect to participate in this grand scheme of change, so will your spirit have the opportunity to evolve beyond the mire, to enhance the opportunities for growth, and to be present for other shifts to come. Your challenges, right now, are your fears based on your past experiences, your trust in the possibilities that await, and your acquiescence to your spirit driven self. Perhaps you have not spent enough time getting to know your spirit driven self? Perhaps you have not listened closely enough to what it has been saying to you? Perhaps you fear the ideas being presented by this inner truth bearer?

No matter what predicament you find your self in right now, understand that you can change by electing to change, by freeing your self of old fears, by feeling your inner calm energy, and by following the true desires of your inner spirit self. You can not only evolve, but live a life based in truth of inner self, inner clarity of knowing connection with the inner self.

My message today is to ponder further your feelings, connecting with this inner spirit based self, not by thinking or questioning, but by allowing your energy self to become more known to you. If you go to your inner energy self, and calmly allow it to speak to you, so will you find that what it has to say may not be in words, but in feelings, in that feeling of knowing what is right, based on your ancient self, your journeying self who knows exactly what path to take, without question or fear. It simply knows, and it knows that you want to be told that everything will be all right; everything will work out, as it should. Can you hear it telling you to have no fear? Saying: “I am with you, your true self. I am present to guide you. I am connected to all things, to all energy. I am your true self, your wholeness awaiting.“

Feel you own energy, My Dears, as that grand energy of change pushes you to flow with it. Your progress will be based on your inner energy electing and allowing you to flow with the outer energy. But your evolution is based on your inner truths being revealed and paid attention to. Find your inner connection and you will find your outer connection too. Now that will be how you truly evolve!

Dear Jeanne,
Today we start a new week. What message do you have for us?

My Dear Ones, on this day, do not ponder or think too much about what is going on in your lives, as a conjunction of sorts now presents you with questions, dilemmas, challenges, and many opportunities for growth. I suggest that you get your selves into a good state of calm balance and that you attune your selves to the outer energy so that you may be able to read, by feeling, what it is offering you.

This time now upon that earth is certainly potent and fulfilling. You are being granted, quite succinctly and easily, the possibility that you have long awaited. Your challenge, however, is to recognize the gifts being presented to you as gifts and not as disturbing episodes or distasteful confrontations. This is a time when inner resonance and the ability to place your self in calm balance is most helpful, so that you feel and understand your inner resonance, the most useful and proper method of utilizing, acknowledging, and acquiescing to your gifts of possibility and progress.

Remember, gifts do not come in pretty packages. More often, the most useful and progressive gifts are wrapped in ordinary brown paper. Your daily lives may at first appear to be routine, but if you allow your selves to go to inner quiet, many secrets may be revealed to you now, during this time of transition.

Transition involves change, and change involves being confronted with something new or different, or having to do something you are not familiar with or wanting to do or confront. Change means standing before your familiar everyday self and understanding that the old way of doing, acting, and processing your life is no longer adequate, helpful, or desirable.

Much energy will now be felt in a restless manner. But do not use this restless energy in a dismissive or over exuberant manner. Do not simply run it off, or use it up with trivialities, or in a wasteful manner. Instead, harness it for your inner process and find out why you are being confronted with this restless energy of change. I ask you to feel it, rather than think about it. This is a time when your feeling self, your energetic self is your best processor of the energy.

In order to best utilize the energy, remind your selves often to go calm and innerly feeling of your own energy. Use this inner energy to guide you in the outer energy that may at first appear abruptly harsh, or challenging. In reality, is it just in need of taming by hooking it up with resonant energy such as you have.

Imagine your self on a busy highway, driving along with barely enough space to maneuver between cars, bumper to bumper traffic that at first appears quite problematic and stressful. But as you adjust to the proper speed, as you calm your self to acceptance of the place you are in, and as you temper your inner stress level to a calm steady flow, you realize that the traffic is moving quite well, people around you are in the same state of steady progress, and there is little reason to exaggerate in thought, feeling, or movement. You have acquiesced to the flow.

Then you realize you now have time to look around, to feel the energy you are flowing in, and you find it quite peaceful and perhaps even invigorating in a subtle way. You begin to feel quite happy, peacefully part of the energy that exists!

You discover that, as you take your energy down to this calmer level, you actually feel happier, more at peace with your situation, even though in reality you are stuck in traffic. You discover that it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is your inner energy, in sync with the outer energy that underlies the traffic jam outside of you.

Who has created that traffic jam? Does it really exist? In your new place of personal calm it may no longer appear to be a crowded highway, but instead a calm stream of energy, flowing quite peacefully, allowing for something new to happen as a result of this state of flux.

This is the position you are in right now. The energy upon that earth is ratcheted up to the intensity of a traffic jam on the freeway. Can you accept that fact, knowing that you are stuck in the middle of it and the only possibility of escape is to slow your own energy down to connect with the true underlying energy of change?

Once you have done that, then will you discover what is being offered to you. For during this energetic confluence many opportunities and possibilities are half buried, half hidden in the folds of your own personal energy system. Only you will notice them. Only you will perceive their significance, and only you will know what to do with them.

So for today, I advise a feeling approach to the energy, an adjustment in your traveling lane so you may feel what is sitting beside you, resonant with your truths, your inner flow of energy, awaiting your discovery. Remember last week, I mentioned that golden door of opportunity? You will only perceive it from your inner seat of gold, your own glowing spirit. This is good for today!

Dear Jeanne,
Today I am leaving the platform open for you to discuss whatever you wish. Okay?

Thank you, but don’t you know I always discuss what I want anyway?

Yes, I realize that no matter what I ask, the replies are always in your unique style, with your unusual perspective. Where are you going to take us today?

Into The Land of Opportunity, My Dear, that is where we are going, for the doors are about to burst open! The light is about to shine through, and clarity of purpose is about to be revealed, if you are ready to recognize it and receive it. That is always the caveat, you know. Opportunities abound at all times, though at certain times are they more forcefully presented and pushed upon you, but your participation is what is required and being asked for, and only you can decide to become involved in such energy.

So today, I anticipate that this conversation will go down this road, leading to those golden doors of opportunity, soon upon you, as you make your way forward through life. Anticipate their presence, each one of you, in your life. Each one of you will find your self facing those golden doors of opportunity soon enough. What they entail, what they signify, will have very personal meaning and you alone must determine what that is. You alone must decide how you will approach what they offer, beyond their glittering presentation, and you alone must determine your course of action.

This time now upon the earth signifies a grand shift. This has been discussed by me quite often, but this is also, excitedly, being discussed all around you, not only in the spiritual realm, but in all realms, especially on the practical, economical, and political fronts.

Keep your awareness open and alert now for the signs in your own lives, My Dear Readers, so that you do not only place your energetic intent upon the functions going on in your outer world. Important and exciting as they may be, so is this time in your life also extremely important, exciting, and meaningful for you personally.

What can it be that is approaching you now to change, shift, and present you with a new opportunity? You must place your self in a good position now to capture your present as it is offered to you, your gift of opportunity. You must prepare your self, even as the world around you has been preparing, in many ways, for this transition. Do not just stumble forward upon your old path now, but make a concerted effort to place your self in a position of confidence and impeccability, so that you are ready to understand what lies ahead. Ready your selves, My Dear Ones, to walk through those golden doors of opportunity into the land of opportunity. As they say, opportunity knocks but once. But I say, opportunity knocks this loudly quite often, but it is up to you to have your ears open, your head on straight, and your energy in alignment with it, in order to grasp the fullness of its meaning.

Are you ready to move forward now? Are you ready to free your self from your old world, your old patterns of behavior, even your old way of thinking? Are you ready to accept that, beyond those doors, things may not be clearly laid out or spelled out? No, that is not the way things will go now. You must be ready to acquiesce now, if you are going to be able to flow with the energy that is ready to sweep you up and carry you forward. (See NOTE below.)

Be aware though, that even as this golden energy is available and waiting for your entry into its light and potential, so will you be drawn back by the old, as it very powerfully attempts to keep you available to its hungry appetite. Even the old may appear to be much stronger now, as its desire to survive intensifies. So be aware that yes, opportunity of an unusual and daring sort is upon you now, asking for recognition and participation on so many levels, but the old means of living life is equally interested in your energy, but for its own purposes.

Awareness of your place in life is now extremely important to you. Are you ready, after all this preparation, to fully embrace your potential? Are you available to accept the possibilities that lie ahead? Are you ready to acquiesce to the fullness of your journey? Can you allow your spirit self to be freed of the old, so that you may allow it to flow forward? Afraid or unafraid, excited or calm, eager or timid, it does not matter.

What you must now focus on is remaining aware. Use this time as a test for your future test of awareness when you will transition from that world, die in your body, and energetically move into another world. This time is the perfect opportunity to train your awareness. You have consciousness now, and you are being offered this guidance and knowledge of the energy that is upon you shortly, offering you the opportunity to jump into a new and greater awareness, much like shifting into new life. Use this time to continue your work in training your self to be alert, to seek clarity of vision, resonance of spirit and purpose, and allowance of spirit self to lead you in accepting your true journey.

I do not mean to throw you into a quandary of wondering what will happen and how it will come upon you. Do not attach to worry or discussion now, but utilize your awareness and your energy to guide you through this time of transition. You can see it happening outside of you quite clearly. Now shift your focus to what is happening inside. What is happening with you, personally, as you go through the next few days of energetic shift? Focus on you now. That’s all you need to remember.

And don’t forget that what matters most is that you evolve. So allow your self to come up to that golden door, feel the energy, and walk right into it. You won’t regret a minute of it. Welcome, My Dears, to The Land of Opportunity! It is being placed before you like never before. Do you see it? It is not an illusion, but it is an invitation to shatter old illusions and enter a new world.

NOTE: During this portion of the channeling, I had a clear visual experience of walking through two very tall and ornately decorated golden doors, as they swung wide open. There was nothing beyond them except light. I felt myself stepping out into nothingness. I think what Jeanne is saying here, is that we are going to be entering a new and unfamiliar world, both in our own inner experiences and in our outer world as well. She is suggesting that we don’t look to the familiar to guide us anymore, because it won’t work in a changing world. She is challenging us to acquiesce to this process, to not even look for the old ways of doing things to get our bearings, but to allow ourselves to learn a new way of being in the world. Good Luck!
