#71 Celebrate Your Graduation

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message to guide us today?

I urge upon you all the growth of spirit. Although I have focused on the big baby aspect of human development I do not wish you to wallow in this aspect of the self. For it is merely another stepping stone that must be traversed in order to truly progress in life on earth and in spirit growth. To stand or sit upon that stepping stone is to offer little, but to push forward is to attain a new understanding of the self, to gain clarity, and to no longer remain bound by old ways and old habits of the inner child. Even though your inner child may be deeply wounded, do not hold yourself stuck upon that soreness, but seek healing by understanding your life’s journey as a progression toward wholeness. Fill now your life with new ideas, new perspectives, and new future outlooks. Address the child properly, with many thanks for the life well lived in spite of serious or even disturbing aspects. You now must focus on growth, on change, and on accepting a new energetic path far removed from the old circle of doubt and confusion about the meaning of life.

I wish now for all to move forward, by accepting the past as real, as meaningful, as a true learning ground, but there is no need to stay in elementary school. Graduation time is upon you. Have you learned your lessons? Have you passed your exams? Are you ready to wear the robes of adulthood, mature, and ready to look at life newly inspired and newly energized?

I invite you to the graduation party of the century. At this party are there vats of energy juice, plates of awareness, bowls of clarity, and above all, games of evolutionary growth. You are all invited to participate and to discover your next move in the progress of your life having taken in enough goodies to sustain you for a long time.

Your lessons are now inside you. They no longer reside in distant fog. You have succeeded in lifting the veils and you have gained important knowledge. But, the question remains, what will you do with it? What will you do with what you have learned about yourself and your world? This is always the time of great anticipation as children graduate and go out into the world. As parents we hope for the best. Well, look upon yourself as that child now, for, in truth, are you but a fledgling leaving the nest. Even as you look upon your own children walking out the door and upon the earth of unknowing so do you now venture out yourself into a new earth of truth and real knowing. You have lifted many veils and have peeked into possibility already many times. Your journey with me has opened doors, showing you all that is waiting for you.

Now, it is up to you. What do you wish to do with all that you have learned from my words? The energy awaits! Take advantage of the knowledge, that to enter the resonant stream of energetic force now upon that earth will carry you far, give you plenty of opportunity to continue to learn and grow, while at the same time allow your future connection with like resonant energy.

If you dare to follow your new knowing you will encounter others of the same sort, for there is now much daring upon that earth to be truthful and honest with the self, to hold above all the spiritual aspect of the self as the most important characteristic, to be guided by this centered, balanced self for a new kind of life. Even as the world tumbles down, as wars are waged, and as problems abound upon that earth, so is there growing spirit awareness of access to other realities, and the acceptances of experiences beyond reality as meaningful and truly necessary for total growth.

You now have the necessary parenting skills to tend to your inner big baby, your inner child, or your fretful teen. Be a good parent, but also give yourself the gift of adventure. Award yourself a graduation diploma, with honors, for not only a job well done, but as incentive to keep going. For many doors await your hand upon the knob, and your entry into the adventures of a lifetime.

Come celebrate your graduation! Ask for guidance and you will receive it, but remember always that you must ask, and to do that you must be brave enough to test the hypotheses that I have laid out, be aware of how you are responded to, and then trust the answers you receive. Welcome to the next phase in your life! Think of it as graduate school, for life is a continuing process of learning, testing, and knowing, and if you are truly on a journey of spirit your adventures will never end. Trust yourself, and your experiences, and you will do well.

I love you all. Know that you are safe and protected, that your life is unfolding daily with new lessons to be learned and that, if you accept them, learn from them, and await the next day with enthusiasm for the new gifts you will be given, then are you truly living and learning the life of energetic spirit awareness.

#70 Uncover Your Innocence

Dear Jeanne,
What advice do you have for us today? As you know, many people read your messages and are greatly affected by them. Do you have guidance for this particular day?

Find your balance, your center, your calm inner knowing place of internal wisdom. I do not wish to harm any of you, but I do wish to push you to evolutionary growth. You must take my words as meaningful in this manner, that they are meant to encourage you to take on life as a thoroughly evolving being. So, please, take my advice for what it means to you personally on your own journey. Take in the meaning into your deepest knowing place, and contemplate what the meaning is for your personal growth. For I do not wish to confuse or push you to do anything that does not feel right. Just because I urge something upon you does not mean that it is exactly right for you today. But, do find evolutionary meaning in my words, and take them inside you, locking them away for future reference as you make your way through your life. Find the meaning that is pertinent and grow from it, but do not neglect also to heed the right knowing of your own heart.

With that in mind, I will continue my barrage against the big baby. This aspect of the self is the most crucial one to overcome in order to evolve. Yes, everyone has a big baby. Everyone must learn to accept this, and to understand that the baby holds within its tight grasp the key to spirit growth and connection. This key is your innocence, your eternal knowing locked inside that baby frame, valuable yet hidden underneath all of the baby habits and the baby refusals to grow up. Life evolution requires that your baby remain attached to its purity, its innocence, but that it evolve into maturity and responsibility, the two other most important aspects of growth.

As the adult in the situation, your job is to maintain your stable place as the one in charge. Do not debate with your baby, with your inner child, with your recalcitrant teen. But, do lay down the law, the law of evolution and growth, so that, at all times, are you on the right path. Your baby will appreciate this and fall into line with your path because it knows that your decisions are based on resonance, and this will comfort it and keep it calmly centered. In this state will your innocence emerge to aid you on your journey. Your innocence is your original inner self, so hurt, so dampened by life, by tragedy, by pain, and by the vicissitudes of life. This is normal. It has been buried under scar tissue for many years. But, you have been slowly scraping away at it, beginning to engage it. And how do I know this? Because you are reading my words! And if you are reading my words and following my daily missives, then I know that your innocence is becoming uncovered.

Uncover your innocence a bit more. But in order to do this, must you work from a place of maturity and balance in your own world. You must be the ultimate, sane, and balanced adult putting your baby into a quiet trance of calm so that the innocence may emerge, may come out and play, and enjoy life.

Your innocence allows you to trust my words. It allows you to trust your spirit knowing. It allows and encourages you to trust the signs in your life as being real and guiding. It enables you to go on a true spiritual journey, geared toward personal evolution, in both the real world that you daily inhabit, and your own private inner world.

Your innocence needs you to care for it; to tend and nurture it, and protect it now as it may never have been protected before. This is the wellspring of your spiritual life, the key to your growth and the place where your knowing resides. But you will only have direct access to this innocence if your mature self calms the big baby, settles the inner child, and negotiates with the recalcitrant teen, teaching that you are on a journey and, as journeyers, must you be responsible for every action you take and every decision you make. Uphold this responsibility to the highest degree! Become the one who is in control of your life, your journey, and your destiny!

Do not put this responsibility upon me, or any other. It is your job and yours alone. My words are offered as guidance, and as tools along the way, but ultimately you are totally responsible for being in control, for making choices in life, and for teaching yourself the way to growth of spirit, and of your human self.

Balance, balance, balance at all times! Balance your physical self every morning. Do not overdo the coffee, for this will unseat your much-needed calm. Use your energy to brew up a cup of calm, not a cup of jittery brown liquid. Seek instead that healing light that is so available upon request, and allow it to swirl down, down, down throughout your being, bringing you pale but vibrant light, gentle but powerful healing energy, as it seeps into every pore and fiber and cell in your body and gives completely of its energy. Do not ask for too much, but only what you need for the day. This is enough.

Ask for its healing to balance you, to calm you, to soothe you, and give you the capability to do only what is right and good in your life. Ask it to help you make the right choices for yourself and all others in your life who love you, who respect you, and who rely on you for your good judgment, and your guidance, and companionship. For even as I ask you to become self-centered and calm, so do I expect you to remain responsible and mature adults facing your world and addressing your issues, your work, your problems as full-fledged members of society, as family members, and as participants in the world.

Attach to your innocence today. Find out what it is trying to tell you. With the baby quietly resting attempt to reconnect to your lost innocence without disturbing your childish needs. You already know what this innocence feels like, for it speaks often of trust, of allowing yourself to trust, and it also dares you greatly to try out new things in the manner of spirit growth. If you become hurt by this daring, do not run and wake up the child and say, “I’m sorry!” But instead, decide, with maturity, to not be hurt by anything that your knowing teaches you. For this is the awakening of your inner spirit that seeks to guide you and keep you on the path of knowing and growth so that your connection to this aspect of self will continually strengthen, and eventually will its calm voice be very accessible, and your awareness of it will be cultivated to a lovely garden of trust.

So, go now, continue to understand the big baby. Look at how it controls your life and makes decisions for you. Do you really want to live your life controlled by someone who can’t even walk yet? Do you really want to carry around a load of dirty diapers your whole life? Do you really want to be a nursemaid; having to tiptoe around so as not to disturb the cranky baby? I should say not! Time for the adult you to thoroughly address the situation and find your place in the Universe of You. And then, once you have established your knowing of this, can you venture out into the greater universe, ready to experience what life really has to offer. I can only urge you along by saying that, You Are Missing So Much! I look forward to your enjoyment of life as never before experienced. So, come on, let’s keep going!

#69 The Lovely Plateau of Growth

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

Step outside of yourself now and take a backward glance. See the patterns of highs and lows and the even planes in your life. See now, from this plateau of knowing, where you have been, and look forward then to the horizon with renewed vigor and interest in proceeding differently on your journey.

Have respect for yourself and the journey thus far taken. Everything has been significant in the past. Every action, every decision, every move you have taken has gotten you where you are now. Respect this journey as you look back over the pattern of your past. Resolve now to proceed differently, with guidance given, with new awareness, and with your future resolution firmly planted to go now into spirit living, spirit opening, and spirit driven being.

Balance your needs, your desires, your big baby, and your adult self. Keep on an even keel, even tempered, and thoroughly focused on growth. Resolve issues that have kept you bound to old ways, for they are not life enhancing, but life debilitating. Do you wish to stay slow and sluggish in your life, or do you wish to have change and growth as your new daily vitamin? Take this new capsule of knowing that I have been offering and finally allow it to go to work on you. Even if you are given the elixir to life, the secret formula to longevity, the means to survival beyond all others, so will none of this knowledge matter if you do not trust in it and act on it. Even the best daily vitamin will not have affect if you do not believe that it will have affect on your body.

Where is your trust in my messages? Where is your active participation in this mission I bring to you? Are you with me fully, as adult participants in true life, or are you staying behind to nurse your big babies? Do you not see that what you are offered is far greater than the desires of even the biggest baby among you? Time to retire the babies, the wants, the desires, the so called human needs, and point forward into the future, so ready and waiting for you to engage it, on that lovely plateau of growth that stretches out before you.

Stop wasting time! Get your acts together all you seekers, and let’s get this thing moving forward now. Have you not learned yet enough about yourself? Have you not utilized what I teach to change your life? Are you not moving forward even a little bit? Well then, move a little bit more and see what happens. Dare your adult self to let the sleeping baby lie still. Why disturb it? It does not need anything right now. Let it sleep soundly while you take a little break and advance on your spirit journey toward contentment and balance.

You have reached this plateau by hook or by crook, and now that you are here look around a little and see what has been made available to you. Much is in the future; much lies at your very feet, just waiting for you to notice. Much is in fact urging you to take note, to observe, and acknowledge it as being there for your usage on your journey.

Find the energy inside yourself now to respect the past, but move firmly footed into the future. All that you need lies waiting. Have you put your baby to sleep? Is your inner child quietly napping? Are you ready to step outside of the nursery and experience the fresh air of life, the calming breezes of energetic relevance? Do you not see what has been made available to you while you tended to the baby?

Grab your backpack full of knowledge, your awareness, and your daring, and firmly footed, alone in your spirit resonance, move forward now into the energy that awaits. You won’t regret it. The time is right to move forward in clarity, with messages at your feet to guide you. All the signs are pointing you in the right direction, but it is up to the calm and balanced adult self, moving in spirit resonance, to notice and interpret them correctly. This is how you must proceed now in order to benefit from this energetic relevance that awaits.

I look forward to your progress and your growth. And you should look forward to feeling your spirit resonance and allowing it to guide you from that place of calm knowing. Sit in your calm. Hear your own messages of truth. Then proceed in your journey. This is good!

#68 The Big Baby

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message of guidance today for all of us who read your words?

Look now to the self for motivation. Treat the self not as a baby in arms, but as a full-fledged adult, for that is how you must navigate in that world, as mature and hearty adults, and this maturity of purpose and intent is also necessary in order to navigate on your spiritual journey as well. Have you come up against discord in your life? Have you suffered some seemingly irreparable harm? Have you begotten much strife as a result of your impatience and your foolhardy moves? Do you tend to wallow in your own dirty diapers? Do you seek to stay in babyhood when you should grow up? Well, you readers of my words, get over it!

Seek your own growth even as you seek growth in others. Parent yourself with my words on parenting. Take in everything I said in relationship to you, yourself, and your own situation. Do not sit upon your throne and look upon everyone else as not doing it right, but discover that even you, who sit supremely prepared for life, have issues of the self to address. All of you have issues of the inner child, the inner big baby, and the inner desires to give over control and decision making to another. You all need to grow up.

Take control of your own life, your own progress, your own spiritual journey, and become the adult, the knowing parent and the focused mature spirit ready to travel forward now. If you keep dragging your big baby around you will forever have to deal with dirty diapers and all the paraphernalia that babies need. And the bigger the baby, the more stuff you have to drag around with you. Come on; investigate what your big baby does to you on a daily basis. Find what your actions regarding this infant in the driver’s seat do to you. How are your decisions affected? How are your relationships affected? How are your waking hours affected?

To proceed in life from a place of maturity with the inner big baby well placed, well known, and well managed is to proceed in life with dignity, with personal knowing of the self as fully in control, and with the innate ability to quickly assess how to proceed correctly in life. Do not let your big baby rule, or you will have stunted growth in life.

My words on parenting issues must be utilized to address these issues of the inner child. No one is exempt from studying this aspect of themselves. I urge all of you to take time over the next few days to understand that all of you have this big baby aspect deep inside you. Discover how well you are parenting this baby. Discover if your methods are truly doing the job as it should be done. Find out if your baby is well taken care of and living in harmony with your adult knowing, or does it lash out at you all too often, begging and crying and desiring too much for any baby?

This is a new balance that must be achieved if you are to maintain true balance in life. I do not ever advocate total neglect or denial of this baby, for in this action would you deny a vital aspect of the self that must be acknowledged and accepted as part of life. That baby can lead you to discoveries about the self that may not ever emerge in any other fashion. These aspects of the psyche can remain hidden and smothered if the baby is not treated with respect and paid attention to.

Know your inner baby. Understand what it seeks to teach you. Find out why it continually presents you with the same problem over and over again? Why are you stuck on the issues you are stuck on? Because you are supposed to learn something from them, silly! Don’t take me in the wrong way with that word. I use it only with deep affection for all of you. But, I also know how frustrating life with the big baby in control can be. If the baby is screaming all day long for attention then perhaps it is letting you know, very loudly and clearly, that you are not doing something right. For if you were doing everything right the baby would be happy, contented, and calmly balanced.

Do you cradle your inner baby lovingly, knowingly cognizant of its abilities and its spirit awareness? Have you allowed it to guide you? Do you listen to what it is really saying to you when it cries out? Have you discovered that it usually means something quite different from what you anticipate? Until the baby learns to speak must there be close rapport and much togetherness to discover how the baby functions, for all babies are unique in their habits and their needs. It is up to the parent to learn how their own baby speaks, without words, but with sounds nonetheless.

So, in order to continue in your progress as a good parent, both to those outside of you and to this inner baby, must you discover who your own inner baby really is. You must find it inside you and learn everything there is to learn about it. Become familiar with it. Even if you do not acknowledge that you have one, begin to see how it will let you know it exists. Because, believe me, it will!

If you are going to proceed in your life, following your resonance, enjoying proper alignment, and utilizing the powerful energy upon that earth must you fully embrace and understand who you are, how you function, and how all aspects of your self also function. To be fully aware, alert and ready to take on life must you acknowledge the big baby inside and learn from it, but also teach it to regard your maturity as correct and right for the journey you must take together. Control of your big baby does not mean sticking a pacifier in its mouth. It means fully knowing it, and accepting your life as a contract with this aspect of yourself. Your learning and growing self needs and desires knowledge of this agreement in order to grow, and develop, and live life to the fullest.

Take care of those inner babies. Love and cherish them for the problems they create and for the lessons they teach. Bind yourself fully to them, committed to a lifetime of love and self-understanding in order to grow into a complete human being, and a well balanced and complete spirit being as well.

A Note on Message #67

A note of interpretation from Jan: by children, Jeanne is referring not only to our own children, but anyone else we have in our lives who we are attached to in a similar type of parenting relationship. It could be our own parents, spouses, partners, friends, or anyone who we worry about or fear for, including our own inner child.
