Chuck’s Place: From Ruin To Love

Ruin—Thoth Tarot Deck

The Tarot delivered me the 10 of Swords, Ruin, to represent the state of things leading into today, and the 2 of Cups, Love, as the energy of today. How does ruin turn into love?

The culprit of ruin is an undisciplined, warring force seeking complete disruption and failure, a marplot who loves to overthrow the happiness of others by ruining all intellect and moral qualities. This energy is amply being reflected on the outer world plane at this time. Joyce Sequichie Hifler, in A Cherokee Feast Of Days Volume III (p.66), states:

“When someone is angry or hurt or spoiled, they tend to want everyone to pay for it. Don’t… Go on with your life, but be alert. Know in your heart and in your spirit that you cannot be put down. Hold tight to your common sense and know you are spiritually protected always.”

Then of course we must face the inner truth of this outer mirror, reflected so powerfully to us at this time. Who is this inner encroacher, this meddler disrupting our inner true peace? Responsibility, ultimately, resides with the conscious mind, whose thoughts and beliefs are the major source of suggestions to the subconscious mind.

Of course, we receive countless hetero-suggestions each day, meaning the conscious and unconscious taking in of suggestions from outside influences. Nonetheless, responsibility for raising these suggestions to conscious scrutiny rests with the conscious mind. 

The royal couple who govern our inner and outer selves represent the conscious and subconscious minds. The true divine abilities of this couple has been known for centuries. In the 16th century, Paracelsus stated, “Whether the object of your faith be real or false, you will nevertheless obtain the same effects.”  

This translates today as, “you manifest what you believe.” The subconscious mind will generate your mood, state of health, and your position in life based upon the thoughts and beliefs of your conscious mind. This is at the heart of the paradigm shift awakening within us.

We possess the ultimate power over our lives. And that power initiates from what we think, believe, and intend. Even Victor Frankl, while incarcerated in Auschwitz, could sustain his life based upon his attitude and imagination, both strong sources of suggestion to the subconscious mind. The times we are living in ask us to wisely exercise this truth.

Whether we are aware of it or not, our conscious minds are in a very intimate relationship with our subconscious minds, determining the course of our earthly existence. In truth, we exist in constant trance, manifesting our innermost thoughts. When we practice responsible autosuggestion, we are bringing conscious intent to the construction of our lives.

Love—Thoth Tarot Deck

We arrive at responsible autosuggestion at the heart center, where we learn the truth from the High Self. Modesty is the requirement of the ego in this communication. If the ego can surrender its narcissism, its willfulness, and its bad temper it will be granted the necessary clarity to know what to intend.

This acquiescence to the truth is the ego’s expression of love to its subconscious, as it delivers suggestions to grow and advance the overall needs of the Self. This royal union of selfless truth, with its creative manifestation in physical form, is how that which was once ruinous becomes love.

Becoming love,
Chuck

Allow yourself to be happy in the life you are in, knowing that you are working toward freedom from all past lives, all past experiences and all past interactions. Those you meet in this lifetime are probably connected to you in some way, from your past lives as well as in your future lives, as soulmates, companions, adversaries, as teachers and mentors. Embrace them and appreciate them for who they have evolved to in this lifetime, and embolden them by your own forward movements in your own life. All lives carry significance and meaning, all lives are of the utmost importance. Let your own life be of the utmost importance every single day too.

Sending you love,

Allow the first moment of each day to be a moment of thanks and gratitude for the opportunity to make a difference to yourself or someone else. Allow the first moment of each day be a moment of joy and wonder, of expectation and openness to what may come to guide and teach you. Let the first moment of each day fill you with love and compassion for yourself as you take your personal journey, as you learn more about yourself each day, and as you feel love and compassion for those traveling with you, known and unknown.

Sending you love,

Heart Speak Channeling: True Peace

-Artwork © 2025 Jan Ketchel

Let your heart be still as you allow truth to speak through you. All beings are capable of reaching inside and opening to words of wisdom, knowledge and truth.

Nothing is happenstance or accidental. The times you live in are indeed indicative of great change, that which has long been foretold. The period of waiting is over, for you are in the midst of the changing times you have long anticipated.

Get in alignment with the fact that the unfolding has begun, but also get in alignment with the fact that as each new day comes you have the opportunity to take things in a new and better direction. Every person living on the planet has free will and can decide how to act and react. Everyone. Is it best to pull inward? Or is it best to engage outwardly?

Everyone is different and every personality type must make a decision regarding what to do based on who they know themselves to be. Some people are a perfect fit for quiet work, for sitting still in prayer, setting intentions and making compassionate contributions, while others have the energy and personality to be physically and vocally engaged in outer ways, such as in political and social arenas. Decide for yourself what you are best suited for. Quiet private work? Or extraverted public work?

This time of rapid change will last for several years, and unfortunately much damage will be done, but that doesn’t mean all will be lost, for behind the scenes are many supportive energies offering new aids to humanity.

All progress leaves ruin in its wake. All that is good rises from the ashes of old. All transformation happens through sacrifice. All breakthrough leaves something shattered behind it.

Great good deeds are to come. Good will is stirred into action in hearts and minds, and those hearts and minds hold a vision of a new and just future where all human beings live in peace. True Peace has not been a part of life on earth yet, though True Peace has been a longterm goal.

Keep the phrase True Peace as a mantra. Let it sink into mind and heart as to its meaning, and make it the motto behind the changes you are now weathering through.

True Peace requires commitment and certainty as to its probability. True Peace is possible. True Peace is on the agenda. True Peace is underlying all the current changes.

Sometimes the bringers of change are not who you want, but they bring the much needed momentum that is sorely needed so that True Peace may become a household saying, rather than Home Sweet Home.

True Peace will arise from the destruction. It is in the contrast between chaos and destruction and the absence of chaos and destruction that True Peace will be experienced and understood. It has always existed and always will.

Are you, the human race, collectively ready to bring it down to earth? Is it time now for True Peace?

Don’t let worry of what may happen prevent you from enjoying each moment of your day. Don’t let perceived ideas of what might be prevent you from learning about yourself in a deeper way. Each day is an opportunity to more strongly center yourself and bind yourself to the life you are in with renewed vigor, intention, and love for the journey you are on. Allow yourself a moment of breath, a moment of calm, a moment of uninterrupted enjoyment of the bliss of you and your life that you are so amazingly living.

Sending you love,
