#508 Ride into Life as an Energy Being

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have some practical guidance for us today?

Allow your selves to fully understand your own energy. Begin with finding and centering the inner you each morning as you awaken. Grasp the meaning of you, as an energy being and as a physical being simultaneously. These two selves are necessary for life upon that earth, but beyond that life the only aspect of self is self as energy.

Concentrate now on discovering, more fully, this energy self. Concentrate on learning to accept this self as the true self now, but also as the ultimate future self. Concentrate on acknowledging the experiences of this energy self in body and out of body, in waking and in dreaming, in your outer world and in your inner world.

Who are you as an energy being? What does your own personal energy feel like to you? Find this energy self more often, turning to it throughout your day as a means of contemplation, relaxation, and meditation, as a means of centering and grounding, as a means of balancing and discovering your two selves.

Anchoring in the energy self is your next step in truly remaining on the recapitulation path, the lifelong path of truth and self-acceptance. Only in finding and maintaining daily contact with this energy self will you maintain equilibrium and attain evolutionary enlightenment.

Your experiences of the self as energy now are meant to guide you through life. Look for these experiences in your life. Begin to document them, make note of them, make lists of them as they occur, so that you may begin to understand that you are having experiences of this sort quite often. Once you begin to note and recognize that these are true experiences, your experiences will take on a life of their own.

Part of this process involves acquiescence to the truth of this energy aspect of self. Acceptance of the fact that you are an energy being is only part of the process. To logically grasp what that means is one thing, but to surrender and allow your energy self to be in control will lead you to more experiences of this energy self, this spiritual self.

Open the doors and windows of the inner self wide today. Allow the energy of inner spirit self to be present in your day. Acquiescing to the truth of this self, while at the same time expecting experiences of this self, will allow for greater flow in your life, and greater flow will allow for notice of energy and experiences of energy.

Give your self a few minutes, each day, to begin a new practice of energy awareness. Even as you open your inner self wide to experiences of your own energy, shut down your physical self momentarily, going beyond the physical self, beyond feelings and emotions, beyond projections and archetypes, beyond everything you now consider as self to the ultimate experience of self as energy. (During the channeling I saw this as almost an alchemical process of distilling the self down to the essence of energy self, pushing away all physical properties and attachments, getting even beyond innocence, to pure energy, the inner gold.)

Access this aspect of energy self each day; invite it to emerge and sit with you as you ride through your day, up front in the driver’s seat, no longer slumbering in the back seat or packed away in the trunk of your vehicle. Ride now into life as an energy being, and see what happens as this awareness of self proceeds into your outer world, accompanying you to work, to play, to meals, to social visits, to moments of contemplation and to moments of conflict, to moments of trust and to moments of distrust, to moments of love and to moments of wariness of love. This energy self is your true self. Live your truth.

#507 Do Not Pollute

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us today?

Today I would like to briefly expand upon my message regarding energy and energy usage as tied to your own presence upon that earth. In order to be an evolving spiritual being you must become aware of how your energy affects your personal world. Ultimately, each one of you is responsible for how you use your energy; how it is used inside and outside of you.

All energy is interconnected, and this is what I seek to stress. If you carry negative energy, you pollute the energy of the self, but you also pollute the energy outside of you. If you carry sad and depressed energy, your outer world will be affected by this energy as well. If you carry worry and the energy of attachment to worry, your outer world will reflect this, and so on.

Your ability to evolve is tied into your awareness of your own inner energy, what it tells you about your self, and what it shows you in your outer world. You are responsible for everything in your lives, My Dear Ones. Your issues control your energy and have impact outside of you. You may be good at hiding your deepest issues from notice, keeping them pushed down and locked from public view, but your energy does not lie about you; it cannot hide itself. Your presence in that world is as an energetic being, and this you must keep in mind.

Your inner work is your greatest challenge, and your energy release is too. Doing your inner work and resolving where the energy drains are, the energy basins that have kept your energy caught, allows your energy to flow freely. Once your inner conflicts are resolved your outer conflicts will also resolve because your energy will have shifted as a result of your inner work.

As your energy flows, increasing its attractiveness, so will your energy add exponentially to the energy outside of you. Your abilities to connect outside of you, to have impact in the world, and to increase your awareness as a spiritual being will also be impacted. Your energy will no longer pollute, or be drawn to polluted energy, but it will be clean, clear, and pollution free.

Of course, the process of remaining clear, non-polluting energy is a life long task. You must constantly attend to your inner issues as they arise, remaining aware of your energy drains and basins where you are prone to getting caught. By resolving to constantly adjust your inner energy, by constant recapitulation, by constantly being responsible energy citizens, you will be able to maintain a steady flow of energy that will connect with like energy, resulting in greater positive energy outside of you.

Your ability to affect the greater interconnected web of all energy is your responsibility, and this is what I seek to stress and point out today. You must each take back your projections and discover where your energy has gotten caught inside the self. Your ability to grow is solely your responsibility, your choice, and your necessity, if you are going to evolve.

This is a time of taking personal responsibility for everything in your lives. There is no blame factor allowed. It is simply necessary to own full responsibility for your lives, totally accepting the challenges you have presented your selves with. This is your life. Do you wish to live with negative energy or positive energy inside you and outside you? It is up to you. Your decisions affect not only you, but everything else as well.

Good luck as you continue your evolutionary journey. The quiet contemplative life is a very good one, allowing for self-study and positive energy gains, resulting in better understanding of the interconnectedness of all things, and better understanding of what it means to be a loving, compassionate, evolving, energy being.

#506 Chuck’s Place: Honest Abe

Welcome to Chuck’s Place, where Chuck Ketchel expresses his thoughts, insights, and experiences!

When I find myself in times of trouble, in a serious quandary as to what is right action, I distill the dilemma down to a yes or no question and flip a penny: heads yes, tails no. I chose a penny because it was the only coin that felt right. Apparently, my spirit insists upon modesty and simplicity. Perhaps, as well, it’s the energy of Lincoln embedded in the coin, who’s intent was truth and right action.

Surrendering to the guidance of the coin is deeply challenging. The ego resists releasing control; the big baby holds tightly to its desires. On the other hand, turning control over to the penny can represent an immature action, a wish to not assume adult responsibility, seeking instead to be told what to do. Beware of this motive, as the penny is then likely to lead us into calamity, the wrong decision, so that we learn to become an adult. In this case, the wrong decision becomes the right action. In other cases, the penny can affirm the truth that we already know. The feedback of the penny can also challenge a deeply held conviction, which opens the door for contemplation and objective inquiry.

Flipping the penny is a deeply spiritual endeavor, which teaches us letting go, turning it over, acquiescence, deep contemplation, channeling, and trust of the non-rational. Flipping the penny, an intentional synchronicity, is an excellent tool for leading an energetic life. Flipping that coin is opening to the profoundest of consequences. Perhaps, the next time you approach a discarded penny in the street you might pick it up and ask for its golden guidance.

As always, I am open to discussion or comment. Should anyone wish to write, I can be reached via email at: chuck@riverwalkerpress.com

Until we meet again,
Chuck

#505 Energy=The Motion of Emotion (E=ME)

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us today?

Constant awareness is now not only called for, but is also necessary. How will you progress and grow if you do not maintain sustained alertness to all that is present in your world? The signs of life as energy are all around you, but you will not be aware of them if you maintain only a solid outlook on life. Energy fluidity is present. Energy fluidity is available. Energy fluidity is constantly being shown.

What does this mean? By fluidity, I mean several things. First, fluidity is energy in motion. You are so bent on everything in your world remaining solid and stable, so prepped and neat, so that you can trust it to remain perfectly present in form and content, the same each day. You wish to open your eyes each morning and discover the objects in your world exactly where they should be. I ask you to observe these objects of your affection differently now, as objects in motion, as fluid energy.

You may look upon them as rock hard and present to your touch and feel. But I ask you to stretch your thinking and use your creative abilities to “see” the world differently. Look upon it as energy in motion. Adjust your eyes to observe everything differently. Soften your hardened gaze that wishes to create perfection, which seeks only to see hard reality, and allow your softness of heart-centered energy to become part of your outer perception of life now too. Begin to allow your own inner energy, that you feel but cannot see, to flow out of you by using your ability to perceive all else as energy too.

You feel your own energy. Can you not feel the energy outside of your as well? Can you allow what you see to turn into a feeling experience? This is where we take the concept of fluidity next. Not only is energy constantly in motion, but it is a feeling awareness. It is not tactile, in the solid sense of picking up a rock and feeling its weight as heavy, though energy is certainly felt, and it is certainly detectable much as an object is detectable. Am I confusing you yet?

Awareness of energy as fluid, as in motion, as emotion and feeling, are necessary understandings and concepts to embrace. When you feel or perceive what another person is expressing, simply by being next to them, you are feeling energy. When a person walks into a room you may feel their energy quite boldly, quite noticeably. It may be loud and blaring energy, or it may be quiet and calm energy. It may be bristling or it may be flowing energy.

Energy is constantly in motion, constantly fluid, constantly detectable. Your awareness must now begin to accept these facts and use them to perceive your world of solid objects, as well as energy of feeling and emotion, using inner self energy in a new way as well. This new way requires training your awareness, but it also requires a shift in ideas, long held beliefs, and a desire to allow the self to change. You will not be aware of the fluidity of all things, of energy, if you do not really want to give up your precious ideas and risk waking up one morning to discover that the world you had in front of you the night before is completely transformed. In order to evolve you must acquiesce to new ideas of energy, new concepts, and new definitions.

Your ultimate journey will be your journey out of that physical body and out of that solidly perceived physical world at death. At death you will be faced with just the prospect of transformation that I present. You will fall asleep in your rock solid world and wake up in a new world, a transformed world, where nothing is as you now perceive it. To wake up in a world of energy, without understanding it, may send you into quite a tizzy, and that is just what happens to so many energy beings who immediately elect to return, to reincarnate, to the familiar rock solid world. However, preparation for entering a world of energy is being offered to you every day, and this is what I now suggest you add to your process.

Begin today to loosen your control, your view, your need to see the world as you have needed it to be. For safety reasons, and for reasons of ego, you have needed the world to be solid. You have had to learn all about that world, for you must live in it while you exist on that level. But you are also being challenged to change your perceptions, to give up your control, and to acquiesce to the idea of everything as energy, everything as fluid, in motion, and able to be seen and felt as such.

Begin to study your world from this new perspective now. Feel and see energy differently using your own energy as your first subject of study. You have inside your physical body the perfect energy body, available to teach you what it means to be an energy being. I have more to say on the subject, but this will do for now.

Accept your self as pure energy by accepting your own feelings, emotions, and inner processes as energy in action, in motion. Understand that such energy is bound inside every other person walking upon that planet; bound inside every animal. Every object, every action, thought, deed, every idea, every incident, every sound is energy in motion. You have the ability to not only perceive it, but beyond that, to affect it, to use it, and to evolve as a result.

#504 You Are a Creative Genius

Jeanne Marie Ketchel
Channeled by Jan Ketchel

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

Find now an increase in energy, but be aware of how you use it. There is a tendency to go outward with energetic enthusiasm rather than inward, and I guarantee, if you do that, you will find your stamina quickly depleted. Yes, it is a time of outer growth and outer accomplishment, but the seed of that growth and development lies within.

Apply your knowledge of inner contemplation to this inner process of energy and budding growth. Use your tools of meditation, imagination, prayer, and focused intent, to attain a new level of awareness. Use your innate creativity, which burgeons forth, seeking form and realization in your world. Allow this energy to come forth, not in wasteful manners, but with meaning and with intent focused on your spiritual path, your inner enlightenment manifesting outwardly.

In order for your changing self to truly embrace the prospect of newness that has been proposed and is now energetically available, so must you remain focused on meaningful expenditure of energy and meaningful living, conscious, at all times, that everything you do affects everything else upon the planet.

It is no longer either appropriate or acceptable to be selfish, or to consider the self above even the most insignificantly noticed form of life. All life is sacred. All creatures are part of the greater plan, and all must be afforded admiration and respect for the journeys before them. Your life, though supremely important and significant to you, must also be seen in the greater context of all life. You are as important as, and no less important, than the bugs that buzz about your head, reminding you to focus on your awareness. Notice how even such tiny creatures can produce an energetic response from you.

Use your awareness of all life as interconnected to bring your own life into better balance with your outer world. Maintaining your inner place of calm in order to access your inner creative wellspring is now a very appropriate next step in your growth. You may not yet understand how you will use your creative spirit and that is not where your focus should be now. Your focus should be on removing the blockages and springing open the gates that have been locked and neglected for so long. Your focus should be on allowing your creative spirit to enter your life, or reenter your life. Some of you have been in denial of such energy, while others have relegated it to certain pastimes, but I am asking you to allow it to flow into your every moment of existence and become one with your awareness.

This combination of creative spirit and spirit of knowing awareness is your innocence unleashed, active, and participating in your life. Awakening your creativity will once again allow access to your ancient self, to your creative innocence. This will further aid you in your recapitulation process, if you are not afraid to let it be actively present, but it will also aid you in your evolution. Your next few months and years upon that earth will grow and change significantly if you allow your creative innocence to enter your daily life. If you follow its natural emergence, and openly flow with it, so will you find that your access to your innocence is near at hand, closer than you think. If you dare to accept that you are a creative genius, you will find that your wonder and your desire for new life will automatically be fulfilling, and your future more meaningfully connected to your true spirit self.

Who are you really meant to be? All of you are truly meant to be creative spirits, set free of the dungeons and the demons of the past, free-flowing with the awareness that all creatures are interconnected; without question aware of your place, at each moment of each day, because you have elected to grow within the self.

This creative energy is now bubbling inside you. Go to it. Become friends and traveling companions with this innocent creative energy. Allow its delight to seep into your life. Use it to show you how to live. Do not control its direction, except to keep it innerly so that it may further awaken and teach you. But let it also blossom forth outside of you, for that is where you will find your fulfillment of expression and your ultimate manifestation of innocent and true self, in the interconnected world.
