#45 Forge a New Rivulet

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have any messages for us today, on this first day of spring?

Be open to everything now. Do not dismiss anything as being insignificant. Do not fall back into old patterns of doubt or stuckness. Now is the time of growth, not re-growth but new growth, for spring is the awakening time, but it is also a time of rejuvenation and newness. From the old roots now come new shoots never before seen or experienced, new life that has, as yet, not tilted towards the sun or felt the nurturing rains or the playful winds.

Allow your own spirit to feel and exhilarate in this newness that is not only all around you, but in you as well. Allow the new habit of awareness to seep deeper into your knowing. Be open now to all that exists in your world. Regard your place there and know, by your intent and your openness, that all that comes to you is wanting your engagement. Understand growth differently now. With your new awareness of otherness, of other energies and other factors as having not only significance but also power in your life, allow your spirit to remain open so that your awareness may flourish even as the wild oats and flowers do flourish.

I am merely suggesting that your awareness has grown to a certain keenness now and the loss of that keenness would be a shame at this pertinent time, a time of true awakening and eagerness for growth.

Are you not eager in your soul for springtime and the growth that it affords? Are you not ready to continue your practice of awareness, to notice and experience your life differently now? Take advantage of this beginning of new life all around you, to tap into the powerful energy of it. Realize, that even as dormancy has laid its heavy head upon the ground and kept life slumbering so has your spirit also resided in dormancy by the heavy head of life upon it. But now, the magic of the times and the energy that has been building inside the earth, and in your own spirit, requests that you allow it to burst forth now in its eagerness for new life.

Elect to ride the energy, as the natural world elects to ride it. Find yourself as new, and growing, as the flowers and the trees. Allow yourself to spread your wings and become as the birds flying to and fro, preparing their nests for new life. Prepare your own spirit daily for this excursion into and this explosion of new life. We have long been at work teaching and learning many new things. Now is your time of experience. Time to put you learnings to the test. Time to remain open, aware, and permissive, so that your world now opens its doors to new cognitive realities as you read the signs, notice the abilities you have developed, and continually allow your innocence to be your guide.

Your innocence is your root from which all of these things spring, if you allow them to. Your innocence is opening the door to the energy of spring, breathing in the fresh air, and wanting permission to step out and discover, perhaps for the first time, the unbelievable magic of new life.

I offer only the guidance for you to do this. I offer, but you control your decisions and your openness. Are you ready to continue now on your journey, ready to “see” what actually awaits you now? Take your innocence by the hand. For a few moments forget everything that troubles you and gently urge your innocence out the door. It’s okay now. Don’t be afraid. There is only a new fascinating life awaiting your exploration of it. That’s all, just a new life wanting you to notice it, experience it, and continue to grow from it.

Seek always your calm. Find your balance. Give yourself permission to trust all the signs that come to lead you on your way as being important, and necessary, but most of all, directly present for you and your attention. So, pay attention to them. They are there for you to notice, to question, to utilize, and to continually discover a new life unfolding as your awareness hones to a new sharpness.

Allow life to be magical and it will be magical. Allow your innocence to lead you and you will enter a new reality. Allow your knowing to speak to you and in your new awareness will you hear it more clearly. Allow your truth to be spoken and your seeing to be real. All of these things must you test and experience in order to grow, and now is as good a time as any to begin the test.

Unearth your energy. Release it now from its old shell. Let it burst forth as the energy inside the buds in nature do wish to burst forth. Give it freedom to be your catalyst now, and see what new life will develop from your central energy zone; your spirit and your knowing, that is.

Close your eyes a little while now and listen. What are you really hearing? Is it life, energy, spirit, and innocence that you hear as it wakes up and begins a new period of growth unencumbered by memory or fear, simply alive and bursting with energy? Give your own spirit the same energetic freedom now to take you on an adventure, whether it be a small one, an acceptance of a new self in the world perhaps, or a big adventure that will dramatically change your life. If you follow your spirit, your inner knowing, reading all the signs in your life as you turn your back on the old ones, so will you have enough guidance to choose wisely a new path.

There are many new paths of energy now opening up upon that earth. There is a river of life energy overflowing its banks, seeking connection, and offering progress for anyone who desires the challenge of forging a new rivulet that eventually will lead to a new river of energetic force. Find your rivulet, your new path of growth, now, while this energy bursts forth, and you will have success as you ride its positive charge that will carry you forward into newness. Allow your spirit the freedom to take you there, into a whole new world. You never know where you might end up, but believe me, it will be pretty incredible. That, I can guarantee. Everything now upon that earth points in the direction of growth and change, even drastic change. Are you ready for it?

#44 The Habit of Recapitulation

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for us today? Where do we go from here?

Feel the void around you that will last but a short time now. But also feel, deep within you, the changes that have come about as you have made your choices and acted upon the knowing and clarity you have recently gained. Do not hold yourself hostage if you have elected to stay in oblivion yet a while longer. That is your choice, and so must you contend with the decision of this election. But, if you have elected the path of growth and continued seeking of your internal and external resolutions so will you now begin to adjust to the energy flow you have elected to step into.

Feel yourself on this new journey, aware yet afraid, full of compassion, yet also aware that you must hold back in order for others to have their own journeys, aware of your place now on your path like never before, aware of your needs, your desires, your safety of self, in order to progress. Find consolation and the requisite safety within yourself now. Place upon your own shoulders all that you know and trust, all that you have learned, and present it to yourself as a gift that will travel with you. For your clarity, your awareness, and your understanding of your life have become as tracts in a guidebook that you have studied and put to many tests and seen the results of as we have worked these many months. Pack this trusty guidebook into your knapsack, and know that it offers what you need. Your journey now is well prepared, your knowing primed, and your trust flowing, so that as you step out into the energy of new life, arrayed in your new garments, so can you go forward with confidence in yourself to handle all that comes to cross your path or meet you as you journey.

Look not backwards now, except as necessary to investigate that which you have left undone or unclear or substantially buried. It is not a good idea to keep hidden from yourself anything that will hinder your progress or keep you from your full potential as a free spirit, fully awake, and able to continue in full command. To have needling issues, hurting your progress and keeping you physically and psychically attached to old ways, will not bode well for the traveler who wishes to go on to wholeness. Wholeness involves total knowledge of the self, followed by total emptying of the self. For how can you have wholeness if you carry things that block so that all is not revealed in truth and clarity?

The process of recapitulation that I have often spoken of is going to be a lifelong process, a habit that you must learn to utilize for your continued growth. It is necessary and essential in order to fully accept the self, and be able to travel forward with the self fully available as companion and guide. As you know, this habit of recapitulation involves pausing to investigate the past, whether of difficulty or a past of joy, a past of intimacy or a past of dispute, no matter the situation the recapitulation of it requires total openness and the ability to look at the situation differently as you have learned to do with every aspect of your life now. As you recapitulate and see your situations of the past differently so will you learn about yourself differently too. You will understand your actions, your decisions, and your consequences differently. You will begin to piece together your life with a new clarity, rewriting your adventures, with new truths and old truths firmly scripted together so that your life makes total sense. In this process do you unburden yourself and free yourself of old ideas, memories, and fallacies that have kept you attached and slowed your spirit progress.

Your spirit desires evolution, but it cannot succeed if strapped to old ideas and falsely accused or wrongly suspected of deeds not done or actions not taken. Your spirit also does not progress if tied to ancient deeds or full of regret for wrongs committed. Learn from everything in your life, do not dismiss even the past that weighs heavily upon your conscience for the things that have gone unnoticed or been heavily sorrowful upon your knowing. All events, whether good or bad, whether committed upon or committed by must, by necessity, be truthfully viewed and given to the self in all clarity and honesty so that amends may be made by the self, for the self to move on and grow.

If there remain unresolved difficulties regarding others it is the duty of the self to resolve those difficulties with the new knowing, and trust that the journey one is now upon is fully available and dedicated to truth, and wherever it leads so is it the right one. The right journey will be revealed as truth as you confront your truths and know by the resonance in your heart that you are on the correct path at last.

Feel now the energy urging you to grow, to take control and command of your spirit, that guides you to accept your place as not only a seeker, but a spiritual being who has gained immensely in clarity and trust. Use these new tools to be your own guide now. Accept your appointment with yourself. Take up your book of knowing, and in your new finery go forward, bravely, into the flow of new life. You will find your way as long as you remain truthful, honest with the self and in your dealings with others, as long as you travel with compassion in your heart and understanding for others also upon their journeys. You will do well if you maintain your commitment to growth, and to self-study as a means of remaining aware and always forward focused.

Question always your actions and look always at your direction to see if it is the right way to go. Question your heart, not your head. Find resonance with your spirit at every fork in the road, at every twist and turn of events, and at every step toward growth. Is this the way my spirit desires to go? Is this the right step for my spirit to take? Does this feel right? Does it fit my spirit? Am I comfortable in this action, or this job, or this possibility as a proper spirit decision?

Stay always in your spirit. Stay in your balance. Even if you feel drawn far from your spirit at times, recall your center and your balance, and what that feels like, and get back there again. Reassert yourself in this spirit-centered place, and look out from your calmness, and make your decisions from this place of knowing and spiritual resonance. In this manner will you find that your life will flow smoothly, and your direction will carry you to the truth of your reality, and the meaning of your life. Do not doubt that such meaning exists, for all upon that earth have impact and have meaningful lives. Perhaps yours has yet to be fully revealed but, if you are well on this journey of spirit, you can be assured that sooner or later will you understand the meaning of your life as it relates to the world, on earth, and in infinity too.

Seek always growth of spirit. Seek always truth. Seek always awareness, and you will do well on your journey. Your progress will not be hindered if you learn to flow with your life as a river flows through the earth, finding its way, energetically alive and alert as it seeks its way forward, always flowing and full of spirit, no matter what it comes up against. Be as water now as you join the energy flow now upon that earth. Flow with your spirit energy and you will do well.

#43 Garment of Change

Dear Jeanne,
What would you like to talk about today?

Find your center now. You know this place inside you. It is familiar and known; you recognize its calm and the perfect fit of it. Substantiate your place there, find your wholeness and your strength and your wisdom there in this time of change, and allow yourself to acknowledge the solidity of your being. As you become quiet in this center that you have trained and sculpted within you, know that you are on the right path, for this is your inner place of knowing and balance. Begin your day there and your next step will, assuredly, be correct.

Empty your mind, your head, your thinking, unplan your agenda for a few moments of calm, and in this place of emptiness find your deeper connection to your own inner voice. Without trying too hard, let it begin to have volume and tone, and await your knowing of its familiar call. It will not surprise you because you will recognize its familiar language and find its rightness to your liking.

Find this voice inside your calmness and begin to make your way forward now into trusting and proving your abilities to be daring, but with full knowledge of your direction because you have sat and contemplated long enough now, and the rightness of your next move is undeniable. Begin to put into action now the progress that has been pending and the growth that has long been awaiting your spirit and your humanness to catch up. Go back to the precipice now, having understood that life calls you to live it, and the energy dares you to take a step forward now in order to move out of your place of stagnation and to breathe new air and new life.

I urge upon you, those who have remained uncertain and hesitant, to take now your own hand and reach forward with it into the unknown that awaits, full of the rightness of your life, and dare yourself to follow that hand now into new experiences. See where this takes you. There is no going back anymore. Either you move forward with all that you have learned or you stay in your old place repeating your old habits, and replaying your old records, and playing over and over the same old films of your life that you already know so well.

Time now to create new life, to breathe new air, and to dare yourself to wear the new cloak of change that awaits you. There will always be time to contemplate as you move ahead now into energetic change. Change is necessary for growth, without it is there but repetition of old tunes, old wounds, and old ideas that have no life or hope left in them. Change requires daring, and daring requires trust. This you must begin to exercise and test and see what happens next as you step forward into new awareness. You will find that if you maintain awareness it will reward you with the ability to see clearly the signs in your life that lead you and point you in the right direction. If you dare to trust that you are ready for new life, then will you be open to new life, and it will unfold before you in ways unimaginable. Your daring itself will open doors, and your trust in yourself and the guidance that will come to your aid will prepare you well for future growth.

Take on the new garments of change now. Replace your old worn shoes and socks, spring into new life draped in the colors that suit you best, and drape yourself for good weather and fair skies ahead. Your traveling companions will delight in the change in you, and your company will be of the pleasant sort as you allow yourself the freedom to change with your new calm and your trust in your knowing to guide you correctly.

Are you ready to begin this journey today? Are you holding your breath before you leap? Are you afraid and quaking in your boots? Are you full of fear and trepidation for the unknown ahead? Well, Good! That is exactly what you should be feeling, even though you also find yourself in your calm. These feelings are present in order for your daring to take you by the hand and say, come on, we’re going anyway. And then will you discover that the first step wasn’t too bad and that change is good, and that you actually feel quite good in your new clothes, for they fit you perfectly, and the color of your spirit is the right color for you.

Look for your energy now, find it and feel it. Allow it to circulate and become known to you again as you experience its vigor and life inside you. It awaits to carry you forward with that daring, that trust, and that newness that you are draping yourself in. All these things combined will now allow your innocence to come forth and be present with your mature knowing self, and the two of you will find your way together now, as traveling companions, ready to take on the journey of your life in a different manner.

There will be challenges. Have no doubt that life will continue to be full of interesting challenges, but your new abilities, if you remain aware and spirit driven with clarity to guide you, will enable you to experience them differently and you will find that everything placed before you is a necessary lesson in your evolution. Stop often and question, so that you will understand and learn fully what you must, in order to be correctly guided. Ask for help when you need it, ask for guidance and ask for clarity when you need those things as well. But, most of all, ask yourself to be your guide now, and trust that this is possible, and know that you are fully capable of being present and spirit driven in your life.

Where is your spirit taking you now? Do you dare to go? Be daring, be bold, and accept yourself on this new adventure that is life beckoning you to live it fully now. Why not get the most out of it now, while you have awareness and clarity and guidance awaiting you? Why not give yourself this gift? Let go of the old resistances, the old worries, the old cares, and be now spirit driven, and spirit fulfilled. The times now are good for this, and your progress will be assured, as you trust your spirit to guide you on your way.

Do you not trust your guidance thus far? Do you not see the journey thus far as having gotten you to this place in life ready for more adventure? Free yourself now to the guidance of your own spirit. Shake yourself awake, and look around, and you will see those new garments of change are right there beside you waiting for you to put them on and step outside, the new you, beautiful and alive and ready for adventure. Go for it! You will not be disappointed. It is just your own life that awaits, and what can be scary about that? It will happen anyway, why not make the most of it, fully aware, alive, and cognizant of all that awaits? Pull aside the veils and step out now fully clothed in your newness, steady in your calm balance, with the voice of your spirit guiding you. Welcome to the world you, the new you. It’s nice to have you here!

#42 Step Back From the Precipice

Dear Jeanne,
I know a lot of people are heeding your messages and being challenged to make changes in their lives and their relationships. Do you have something to offer those who stand on the precipice gathering their courage?

Step back from the precipice so that you are in your calm and you do not fall or leap unaided by your knowing. You do not wish to tumble off or fly off as you wrestle with your petty tyrants, or fail to make the proper choices. This time of awakening calls not for abandonment of self, but inclusion of self and the ability of the self to participate fully in the next step you take in life.

When I speak of petty tyrants I seek to alert you to your own worst enemies and give you insight into how these enemies work, and perhaps even sabotage your efforts to grow. Do not become overwhelmed by them. Do not let them push you over the edge and do not let fear of them push you over the edge either. Remain calm, remain centered, and work diligently from this place of self-reflection in order to understand the truth of your place now in your life.

Do your petty tyrants exist in a past that no longer exists? Are you facing the real truth of now, and perhaps forgetting that time has passed, and things have changed, and you are also different now too? Step back or roll back a little now from your precipice where you perch ready to make a leap into change and evolutionary growth. Yes, I challenge and I dare all of you to grow, but I do not expect you to do so without first understanding and knowing why you must go forward. Investigate for a moment how you arrived here. Why are you standing here? What has driven you? What is the truth behind your recent actions? Have you been spirit driven? Have you enacted change lately from your spirit center?

This is your inner self that desires change, this spirit that drives you, but that also requires deep contemplation and inner knowing to be your guides as much as my advice and my teachings. You must follow, at all times, your inner knowing, even above the advice I urge upon you. Do not create a petty tyrant out of me, but place me firmly in your knowing where you want me and where I should be in your life. Yes, I offer much guidance and I have access to knowing that is hidden from those of you who reside among the veils upon that earth. But you have been lifting veils and seeing what lies behind them. You have been seeing and learning and understanding much at a very rapid pace. You are, ultimately, your own guide, and this you must begin to acknowledge.

When I present the idea of petty tyrant, and I ask you to become an intern, what I really ask of you is that you take full responsibility for your life, your past, present, and future, and I also ask that you put into practice more fully the ideas I have been teaching you. Become an intern in your own growth process in a hands on, interactive approach to your own growth by resolving issues in your life that hold you back, utilizing the techniques you have learned through my guidance.

In order to utilize my teachings and take on the challenges I offer, yet keep me from becoming just another petty tyrant in your life, must you take upon yourself full responsibility for your growth now and use me to your best advantage. This I offer. All my guidance is free and available, but you must use it wisely and maturely in order to benefit from it so that you evolve.

So, step back today a little from that heady place you now inhabit. Feel the energy that has had you in its grip, tossing you up and down, and swirling you in its vigor to wake you up. Calm down. Step back and look at yourself now, at this very moment, and discover where you really are as a result of your desire to evolve and your participation in this mission I have embarked on with you, and you with me. I do not wish to become just another petty tyrant in your life. Yes, I will continue to push. I will continue to cajole, and I will continue to introduce you, at a rapid pace, to many new ideas and new outlooks on life. That is my method to shake you up and wake you up. But, I also expect you to act according to all that you have learned, to remain open to my guidance, and to truly take in and contemplate everything you learn on a personal level, and see where all of this fits into your life, and your spirit orientation, on a daily basis.

I push you, but I also ask that you stop and look for resonance in your own life. I ask that you question everything regarding your own situation. I request that you ask yourself daily: what is the meaning of this for me in my life? You are in charge of your life, not me. You are responsible for your evolution, not me. You are totally behind your own growth, not me. I offer guidance. But, your own guidance is more important even than mine, for you are your ultimate guide.

In my efforts to guide you I do push you to accept new challenges, to change, to evolve, and to grow with your inner spirit because those things are the most important things I can offer you. But, you must be a pro-active spirit and a pro-active human being in order to fully benefit from any guidance I offer. I cannot do anything for you except offer challenge and point out to you the opportunities for growth as they appear in the energetic framework of the times you live in.

So, do not throw yourself forward simply because I say it is time to do so. I do not ask or desire blind allegiance to my guidance, that would be absurd. You must use your knowing and your own inner guide as much as you use my advice to find your way in your personal life. Your internship has begun in earnest. Become the wise intern I know you are fully capable of becoming. Question everything. See how it fits into your life. Question its relevance, and question its meaning, and question how it fits you in your day and in your life now. Not all of my advice may at first seem pertinent, but if you wait the resonance will come. But, will you connect it with what you know? That is the other question. Are you retaining your knowing, your awareness, and connecting it to the events in your life that are there to aid you on your journey?

I know that many people now upon that earth are being encouraged by circumstances, challenges, and urgencies, to come to terms with many things, both inside the self and as a result of decisions made in their lives. Both the inner self and the outer self are involved in this time of decision-making. And these two aspects of the self must now maintain their balance, and unite in friendship and conviviality in order to embark on the journey into this grand energetic force that offers itself to those who are ready.

Are you ready? When you have calmed yourself down, joined your two halves, and made your decisions based on your inner knowing firmly situated in your reality, then will you know when the time has come to make your leap and benefit fully from the energy that awaits. And, it will wait for you to get to that place of calm and of knowing a little longer. If you stand poised in contemplation, rather than jump headlong into it or abruptly choose an old path, it will know you are on the brink of accepting this grand challenge and its energy pull will not desert you. But, it will require that you commit fully to growth.

Hands await you. Do not worry. The energy abounds with helpers. This I can assure you. But know also that the old path still holds along its waysides the old helpers you have relied on all these many years. They too offer their old comforts and this I understand. But, are they not just your petty tyrants waiting to welcome you back into their grasp with talk of comfort that is little more than oppressive and routine? Do you not wish to engage a new energetic force that will grasp your fingers but lightly and allow you to steer your course, offering the careful guidance you need, but only gently and sparingly? For they know you are fully capable, you just need to practice your skills and continue to learn new ones as life evolves.

All of these lessons are good ones to learn as you travel your life. But, as always, I request that you stop often and look for resonance in your own life. Feel it, see it, experience it, and look constantly for the meaning of each day and you will do well on your journey. Continue your self-work, and your next step will bring you closer to understanding why you are now perched on the precipice and when the proper time for you to make the leap that will take you where you need to go next. Your leap may be a small hop or it may be a drastic jump, but either way must you see and understand its significance in your own life and appreciate it for what it gives you as you continue your journey. You will not go unaided. Trust this and you will do well.

#41 Petty Tyrant

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

I speak of internship today, of study of the principles of detachment and learning to be active in a new world. To become an intern in a new reality is the biggest gift now available to mankind. To learn to engage in practices long buried, but unique to humankind is what I mean when I speak of a new reality. All upon that earth have innate abilities, long buried and long denied, that now must be resurrected, and learned to be utilized, in order to grow in awareness and knowledge.

Study of the world you now live in is essential. Clarity of your own situation and your own reality from a new perspective is your first lesson as intern. Become aware of your life differently now. Note who exists in it as having important roles that will move you along to learn awareness, and recognize what those roles are and the significance in your life. Learn the meaning of petty tyrants, and the meaning of attachment to old ways, in order to enlighten yourself, and in so doing unburden yourself of old ideas that keep you bound in blindness and unawareness.

What is a petty tyrant you may ask? If you care to look it up in the dictionary, be my guest. But, my definition is much broader. For I determine a petty tyrant by how fiercely they hold on to you and seek to constantly feed off your energy, desiring your attention, your comments, and looking constantly for the means to hassle you and make your life miserable. This pleases them and makes them important and that is what they desire most, to be important in your life, the tyrant who wears the crown. And you become caught by the petty tyrant in the crown of power and neglect your own knowing as it becomes overshadowed by the needs and desires of your most hated enemy and your most diligent and unrelenting teacher.

Look on your petty tyrants as your master teachers. They seek to teach you the ways of detachment and warriorhood. Yet do they also seek to hold you fast to them so that your main focus becomes to spend your energy upholding their importance in your life. Do you choose now to learn detachment and become an intern in learning the means of growth and awareness? Or do you choose to continue to remain bound in servitude to those who seek to drain you of your energy for their own consumption?

In allowing the petty tyrant to gobble your energy do you deny yourself access to knowledge that is present and obvious, yet do you not have focus enough to notice because your attention is constantly drawn to distraction by the petty tyrants in your life.

What is a petty tyrant? What does it look like? What form and shape does it take? Human form, human shape, and human desires and needs of the best and worst kind are attributes of the petty tyrant. The most perfectly described human and the most despicable of human beings have equal opportunity to become a petty tyrant in your life. Perfection of attitude or perfection of despair, either extreme, or even much in between, is the sign of tyranny.

Look in your own life to discover the energy drain, the focus of your life. Where do you focus your energy? Who receives it most? Who continually asks for more rather than attend to their own needs and their own growth? Who continually asks for more, yet gives so little in return? Who refuses to grow?

Are you your own petty tyrant? This too is possible if you remain fixated in stagnation, unable to unleash your spirit, and caught in repetitive behaviors, attending to your big baby, rather than freeing your spirit into adulthood. Is your own inner child your biggest petty tyrant? Or do you allow someone else’s to destroy your growth opportunities?

Find the petty tyrants in your life and seek to discover what they teach you, what they are capable of doing for you in your growth. Study how you react to them as much as how they react to you. Bring your attention to your calm place of balance, your center, and from this place look coolly and keenly at all who intercede in your life and interrupt your own growth.

Next, look at your place in the lives of others. Are you not also a petty tyrant in the lives of those in your nearness? We all have the ability to be both tyrant and servant of a tyrant. We all have the ability to remain stuck in those roles or we may choose growth and clarity instead. I urge you to begin to examine your life outside of you now more closely to see where your energy is going. Find where your energy drains are and from your place of centering discover what this truly means.

This is beginning detachment on a far greater scale than previously experienced. This method of allowing yourself the freedom to truly step back and observe your place in your own life and the place you maintain in the lives of others is a significant step in learning detachment. Find your equilibrium and allow truth to enter your calm center as you see yourself in clarity now. As this clarity dawns upon you understand also that such clarity is going to be necessary to maintain in order to fully appreciate and notice all that exists waiting for your discovery.

So, today, begin to examine who or what exists in your life to truly act as your teacher, seeking to invite you to see life differently, and to learn detachment as an act of growth. In this lesson will you gain greater awareness of life as a journey, each of you on a separate journey, detached from even those you hold most dear. But, the question is are you allowing each other to take the ultimate and necessary journey or are you inhibiting growth for your own petty needs and desires, or because you feel you must attend to the petty needs and desires of those close to you?

Seek understanding of this concept of petty tyrant that you may already be familiar with but you will never be fully relieved of, for the petty tyrant’s job is to seek you out and discover where your weaknesses are and drain your energy through these weak points. See? This is how you train. This is how you learn awareness and become attuned to the mysteries and magic of life, the things that in true reality are available and commonplace, yet do you not have awareness of them in this way yet. I speak of knowledge that you have learned to dismiss or ignore as you are, continually, drawn away from your center, and your knowing, by the petty tyrants in your life.

Seek to destroy the connection to these tyrants. Seek to adhere to your inner calm and your inner knowing rather than constantly get drawn to fixation of them and the needs they express to you, making you see how important they are, and in so doing distracting you from your path, your truth, and your clarity.

With fewer attachments to the constant needs of petty tyrants do you allow yourself to see and experience your world differently. This will enable you to understand the meaning of the word warrior as someone who is learning to advance in awareness and learning to focus on spirit growth and truth of life and journey.

Stand alone now, as observer of life, both your own and those in your nearness. Do not judge yourself or others, but do seek clarity of you and your own situation, truthfully seeking to understand your place in the lives of others, and your job to allow others to take their own journey, so that you may free yourself to take yours. This is the biggest gift you can give yourself and others: remove yourself as petty tyrant and in so doing understand the meaning of petty tyrant personally in your own journey.

Find your calm and stay there. This is always step one as you undertake the challenges I pose to you. Continually do this and your internship will progress at a rapid pace, for your clarity will have the opportunity to be gained, and your awareness of truth will result.

Truth in all that matters, in all worlds, is the goal. Truth brings clarity, clarity brings awareness, awareness brings knowledge. Invite them in to your life one step at a time as you work your way through the process of your life as a warrior now. You are doing well. You are not allowed to hide anymore. Be brave and carry the flag of your crusade, your own peace symbol of inner calm. Allow others to experience this new you and your journey will become acceptable to others, even as you learn to accept it yourself.

Your guidance is assured. Your helpers are ready. Your place is secured for the next phase of your growth. Do not doubt this. Go forth with dignity and knowing that you are on the right track, but also with the knowledge that you are always learning and always available to growth in your daily life. What is today meant to teach you? What are the things in your life trying to point out to you today? These are the things that show you where you need to work and where you need to focus your attention. Find your petty tyrant, find your role as petty tyrant, and resolve to take on the mantle of intern as you grow on a daily basis. This is all good.
