#336 This Really is a Time of Metamorphosis

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message of guidance for humanity today?

If you can get on the right path, the path of growth, progress, and positive intent, the energy of swift referral and nudging guidance is available now. Even though this time of lull may hold you in a place of old resistance, so may it also provide you with the time you need to contemplate your reality. I suggest that you use it to your best advantage. See your truths clearly, from a place of reality, with a slight detachment, and utilize the energetic build up that now swings the lull toward a more companionable energetic surge. Prepare for that coming surge, for it will carry you far if you have done your self-study.

This is a time of clarity. This is not a foggy lull, but a lull that offers revelation, and it should be used for growth, not for complacency and retirement from life. Have you lately discovered some core truth of the self? If so, what are you going to do with that nugget of insight? Turn it into a golden opportunity to grow, to push ahead now to another level of growth on your journey.

Leave beside the path your hurt, your big baby paraphernalia. You are an adult now, taking a journey that only a mature and advanced spiritual intellectual can make. The concepts, the guidelines, and the propositions that are placed before you are not easily confronted or processed. Your attempts at discovering your truths are commendable, but I also urge you to keep going. Do not turn down your spirit’s urgings, or the signs, or synchronicities that continue to pull and push you forward. You can do this work, and so far I would have to say that you are all doing marvelously.

Find today the energy I speak of, the beginning of the buildup, subtle at first, that is leading to a new surge of vital, positive energy. You want to be able to tap into this energy; you want to be available to ride its wave. To be ready entails maturity, reasonable thoughts and actions according to evolutionary growth, but most importantly this requires acceptance of what you have recently learned about your self during this down time, this time of lull.

If you can truly accept your imperfections, fully own them as part of you, knowing that you have used them well but no longer need them, so are you acceptant of them. If you can release those well-used aspects of the self, and travel onward now without the comfort of them, so will you be able to advance as the surge comes. And it will support you with its energy, filling the gap left behind by the loss of your comfortable habits with new energy that will carry you far into your future.

To be able to release the comfortable habits, even the deepest inner ones of resistance, avoidance, and trickery, difficult though it may be, will provide you with quite an opportunity now, as the next shift approaches.

You know, each one of you, My Dear Readers, what your own issues are and what truths have recently been revealed to you, for you are all thoughtful, intelligent, consciously seeking change in your life, or you would not be here, reading my messages. As your truths are revealed must you process the deeper meaning of them. What do they stir up in you? Feelings of inadequacy, of abandonment, of control; the need to be perfect; to hide, to close down your feelings, to go into oblivion, to run and hide your physical body, and to seek refuge in old habits so that your tenderness is not pummeled and hurt? Are some of these things true?

Your old defenses have been available to you for a long time, but they are grounded in your youth, your time of limited awareness, in a time of unclear purpose, and in a time of confusion about the world, how it works, and how the people you came in contact with were acting towards you. You needed good examples for how life was supposed to work, but often you got only more confusion, as the adults in your life stumbled along, caught in their own oblivions.

But now you are an adult. You are a grown up; a person who has gained awareness and clarity, and you are operating at a new level. Your head is above the clouds. Your view is from a new perspective because you have desired change. Your position is well fought for, and progress may have been slow but steady. Remind your self often that this is the new you, walking upon a path that is progressively becoming clearer and clearer. Both your past, when you glance back at it, and your future ahead are looking clearer and more concise as you hone in on the details of truth that have been revealed and continue to be revealed.

Keep this clarity about your self in your presence now, as you prepare for this next stage in your growth. This is a time of advancement, of opportunity, and of personal revelation. Do not be afraid to shed the garments of old, and take on new lighter, flowing clothes that will lift your spirits, and allow your wings to unfold. This really is a time of metamorphosis, My Dears. And you are fully ready to take flight as the energy soon arrives to tickle your wings up and outward, and provide you with just enough lift to get you off the ground, out of your slump, your bed of lulled slumber, and send you flying.

It’s time now to take the next step, to make the choice to grow another spurt, or to stay in the old place. Do you choose continued heaviness and darkness, or do you choose lightness and light? I look forward to watching you as you continue your fascinating journeys. Good luck, My Dear Ones, you are all doing well.

And please, don’t despair over your choices. Feel the truth of your own place, your own revelations. Learn to accept them. Let them go, in the sense of their attachment to your spirit, but only once you have truly owned them, their meanings, and why they have up until now been necessary baggage. But now your body, your soul, and your mind are desiring less baggage.

What can you afford to leave behind as you move forward now? You are not allowed to bring everything with you. You have to decide what is most important, and what you can let go of? Look always at the deeper truths as you make your selections. Some things are truly worn out old habits and behaviors, boring burdens that you know you don’t need or want any longer. Those are the things to leave by the wayside now, releasing your self from them, and lightening your energy load, so that you can truly free your wings and have the energy to take off, as that breeze, that shift, approaches to lift you out of your burrow and into new life.

#335 Protect Your Self With the Energy of Mother Earth

A Seeker asks a question today.

Dear Jeanne,
First, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to ask questions, and seek guidance, which I feel is a gift for me, as I am feeling so many changes and shifts in my energy, the energy of others, and the energy of the universe.

Lately, I have been more aware of breaks in physical time. I can feel “time stand still”. It happened to me yesterday as I was reading some of the spiritual books I have been collecting. It has also happened at other times, when I am doing other types of inner work (meditating, dreaming, talking to friends about their energy experiences). It seems like an odd mix between a dream, and an out of body experience. Is what I am feeling a heightened awareness? How does time stand still, and what does this mean?

Thank you again for the opportunity to ask my question. I enjoy spending time on the website. I always receive the gift of a special message to guide me on my journey.

Sincerely, D.A.D.

My Dear Reader, you are having experiences of awareness. As I have mentioned often, in energetic composition is there no concept of time; in this state is time unframed, undefined, and unlimited. In awareness is it but the moment of now that is perceived and experienced. This appears to be what you are describing.

I would like to point out that awareness becomes critically heightened during times of stress. At those times, is your sense of time perhaps even more noticeably slowed; diminished to nothing but keen alertness, clarity, and awareness of an internal and external sort, beyond the mind and the body. And even though the body and mind become ultra-sensed and ultra-sensitive in heightened awareness, so is your energy also outside of the confines of the body.

In heightened awareness, as you experience your energy in this state of removal, at the same time that you remain peripherally attached to your physicalness, so do you have the opportunity to maintain awareness if you can anchor your self in your spirit training, and not attach to some other reason for your odd experience. It seems that you are able to stay attached to your inner knowing. But I also perceive that you find it an opportunity to let go of your awareness and lose your attention to clarity. However, this process of “letting go” is not the one I condone.

To allow the self to have experiences out of body is to venture into a new realm of self. This is the energy self. But one must be cautious, at all times, to protect the energy body during such an adventure if one is vulnerable to outside energy. If one lives precariously, on the edge of reality, wishing only for the spiritual, does one not favor the spiritual side, as you might think, but become vulnerable to other energy, as one is steeped in imbalances.

These experiences you describe are tantalizing, and very valid experiments to undertake and to allow the self to become aware of. They are good training for your awareness. And yes, to gain a sense of what it means to be in heightened awareness is a most beneficial position to be in. But, My Dear One, I fear that you might overly seek such experiences, spending too much time in your energy body and in so doing, opening the door to other entities who wish to steal your energetic beauty. For you hold in your personal realm much enticing energy of the sort that has great potential. And now during your times of struggle upon that Earth, is there a great battle upon you to give up that wonderfully powerful energy to those more skilled at such battle.

I fear that you will lose your footing, so I suggest that you seek firmer placement in the real world of your grounded life upon that Earth. You already know that you are an energy being, and that you have a well-developed ability to go off into other worlds, suspended in the moment, in order to experience energy, awareness, and the potential of future energetic form. But put that talent aside while you more firmly ground your physical being in the world you live in.

You must anchor your self, most firmly, in the ground. Protect your self with the energy of Mother Earth, so that when you wish to go off on an adventure of energetic proportions, so do you have a tightly woven filament of attachment to the reality you must live in. You must resolve your issues of attachment, My Dear One. You have already worked on your issues of detachment to a certain extent, but now find firm attachment in the world, before you go out into energy form again. That is the inner work you must do now.

This is not just good advice for this Dear Reader, but many of you, who dip into the inner work, seek to go too far too soon. You seek it as release from the confines of that world, and I must warn you that it is not proper to do so. Your inner work is based in your life there. If you stray too often into moments of experiencing “time standing still,” so do you risk losing your necessary and vital connection to your life upon that Earth, which is your most important companion, teacher, and guide. Your reality, fixated on your world, is showing you what issues and tendencies must be addressed in order to solve your life and recapitulate. But you must also firmly ground your self in that world, in order for firm balance to be maintained.

I worry that too many of you seek the out of body experience, and the energy experience too often, that you are looking for a way out of doing life as it is presented to you, rather than doing the work on the self that is required in that very real and gritty world. Your success in the spiritual realm cannot be denied, nor should it be ignored. You are all learning many valuable lessons that will remain embedded in your awareness. But what use will they be, if you have not solved the puzzle of who you are in that life you now live? For only in solving the physically present self; as an entity with issues, problems, feelings, emotions, and mysteries as yet uncovered; and confronting all the whys of the self, will your awareness be of any use. To finish your lifetimes upon that Earth is your greatest agenda; and balancing that work with the work of the spirit is the process. So I urge all of You Beautiful Spirit Seekers, to not neglect one for the other.

And you, My Dearest Reader, who asks so graciously about finding the energy of the inner self, do not fault your self for the adventures you take, and so desire to keep taking, for you prove to your self and your energetic protectors, all the time, that you have what it takes to evolve. But even so, My Dear One, do you have other work to do, and I think you know what it entails, even though you shrink from the door behind which it waits. Do not dread it so, for it is but your truths waiting, lingering in the shadows for your discovery, and rediscovery of who you truly are; and with it resides your true power and potential.

These thoughts of equal mystery and despair reside in all of you who seek. They reside in your lives upon that Earth, where the need to solve your riddles is your greatest challenge. Free your spirit even more by continuing your inner work and your outer work. Do not walk away from the shadowy self who you catch glimpses of every day. Watch your energy at all times. It will show you what is important. But also, guard it. Ask your protectors and guides to stay with you as you confront your demons. In the end, you will discover that your demons are just unresolved aspects of the self.

Do not fear your process. After all, you have already experienced the nothingness of time, as you know it, on a daily basis. You have experienced energy as infinite, and it is showing you that you are well trained and capable of achieving your energy body. But it is also showing you that something else tugs at you and pulls you down into the whirlwind that must be confronted in the shadows of the earthly self.

So, My Dearest Reader and Seeker, I hope I have not been too confrontational. I offer my advice because you asked, though I found your heart center to be a little off balance, and this disturbs me. So please, be aware. This is what you are being shown in your daily life, that you are off-kilter in some aspect of the self. Even though you are highly aware and accepting of the spiritual self, so must you resolve your issues that pull you out of balance.

Thank you for this question. It does bode well for your future (and this is so for all of you Seekers) that you are doing such good awareness work. It is very good to do it, but remain grounded in reality, doing your recapitulation work, for it will integrate every aspect of your past, present, and future potential into a whole and balanced being of light, energy, with firmly grounded awareness in both worlds. Good Luck!

#334 Stay Centered and Aware of Your Path

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a note of guidance for humanity today?

Find again your heart center, and remain bound by the tenets of a seeking life, an evolutionary life. Even as the energy does entice you outward, and pull at your inner self to remain caught in habits and behaviors of old, so must you remain cognizant of the shifts that have taken place and continue to. Change is happening now, and within your own psyche must you recognize the resistance to such change. The resistance will come forth in various ways to sabotage your growth, your place of knowing calm, and your prosperous path.

I advocate a firm intent and reminder to constantly turn to your heart center as a place of refuge, but also as a place of rebuttal to the resistance that seeks your energy. For in old habits are you an easy prey, less aware, dulled by the nothingness that comes over you as you give in to the energy that thwarts your progress and steals you from your centered path.

This is your most important task today, to stay centered and aware of your path, for the energy of shift does carry with it the ability to push you into many wrong directions. It is up to you to remain focused, aware of the inner self, the inner questions that arise, and the inner decisions that must be made in order to grow.

This is a time of confrontation and growth, and as such will you exhibit and desire signs of awareness, yet find your self struggling with all that seeks to keep you stagnant and complacent. Wake up your inner self constantly. Focus your intent throughout your day, reminding your self that you are seeking something different now; something greater than your ego desires and your ego stubbornness; something that only your spirit can recognize. If you haven’t quite achieved this new place of resonance, so must you not give in to the saboteur, but merely return to your inner place of calm, and wait there, patiently nurturing and tending to your intent to grow and change.

Although a great shift has recently occurred, so is there soon to be another. As you now dip into the time between shifts keep this reminder of renewal, soon to arise, in your awareness. Everything changes and shifts eventually. To be stuck or in a lull is normal, but you can maintain your place of inner focus and intent no matter what the energy outside presents. And that, My Dears, is how to live an evolving life.

So although I know the energy is now forceful on the one hand, and depressing on the other, so do I urge you to not get caught in the tug of war that ensues during such time of opposition. Allow your heart centered calm dignity to keep you anchored now, so you are not pulled and tossed back and forth by the forces of energetic battle. If you must hunker down, do it in the evolutionary manner. Wait out the storm in your inner place of calm. It will soon be over.

#333 Death Carries the Light of Revelation

Sid asks a question today.

Dear Jeanne,
I have been deeply affected by the sudden death of journalist Tim Russert, as have many others in this country and around the world. He was held in high esteem for his values and his integrity, one of a precious few in public life. It has caused me to focus more intently on what my values are, what my truths are, since we are at such a pivotal time in the history of our country and the planet. Can you speak to his death specifically, and it’s meaning to this world and us as individuals? I know you don’t normally do that, but I’m asking for any light you can shed. I read your messages every day, and am grateful for your continued guidance.
With love, Sid

My Dearest Sid, you speak of the suddenness of death, the propensity for it to swoop in as you do life in your normal way, offering change, abruptly focusing your attention on the moment. What now, you may ask? What happens now? Who will speak for us now? Where did he go? Why?

The questions are often as confusing as the idea of a simple and quick release from the body. There is no fanfare in the act of sudden death. It is brutally quick and mercifully unmerciful, yet does it also carry with it the truth of life and the greater truth of change. Change is inevitable. We speak of this often, and even in your own country is that the buzz word now.

Look upon this man’s death not with sadness, fear, or even wonder, but look upon life with the wonder that sudden death affords it. The wonder of life is being revealed to you now. The opportunity to embrace it, to energetically get everything you can out of it, to live it fully. Each day is a reminder that yes; death overtakes even those who speak most eloquently and so compassionately. Even the thinkers and the pundits of truth and honesty will be overtaken by it. What does that offer you? Well, it offers you life, My Dear, the sacred specialness of it in your self and those nearest to you. Yet does it also offer you the reality of what it means to be alive. The opportunity to once again be reminded that you have no time to squander, no time to lose, dilly-dallying, because your time there is but brief compared to infinite time.

Your own life must continue to be the most meaningful life you can participate in, making it your final voyage there upon that plane. How will you continue to do that, even as you know it may be brief, or end too suddenly? But you will be ready, and it will be your time, even as Tim Russert was not too surprised, for he knew a long time ago that his life needed early purpose and focus, and so he did not squander his years there.

Look upon your self now. Find your balance, your equilibrium, that calm, knowing, centered self who understands that every life has a purpose, an evolutionary purpose. What does your own life hold for you today? What is your challenge now, at this moment? Where is the significance of your own life pointing you? What is important for now?

I do not propose that you consider death now, but do consider life, and change. For even though death is your goal in the end, so is your purpose to live, and that is what you must seek at all times, to live with purpose, with intelligence, and with meaning. All will die, that is a fact. And it is not a brutal fact as you and many others would contend in your feelings of sadness and loss. It is simply the ultimate fact, and it carries with it not darkness but light.

Death carries the light of revelation, the light of evolutionary potential, and the light of release from the confines of the physical world. Death carries the answers to the mysteries, and it carries the experience of return to energy.

Concentrate your focus of intent on life now more often as the precursor to the light of death, coming at some time to reveal to you all the mysteries. Prepare for it by seeking always the experience of your energy body. Know it by its familiar release, its lightness of being and its joyous experience. To know your energy body now, to experiment with it, to test it, and to hone the skills that enable you to master it, are all available now. That is one aspect of your evolutionary life that should be studied and practiced, your life as an energy being.

In so doing will your fear of death, whether long and drawn out or quick and light, be tempered as you learn that your energy body will be fully ready when the time comes. When the time of change arrives you will be ready for it. And that, My Dear One, is what you are being shown. This politically astute figure, outspoken yet gracious in his forbearance on the subject, is paving the way to change, to accepting that the inevitability of it, and the desire for it to happen are totally out of your control. It will happen. Do you wish to flow with it, as I suggest you flow with the inevitability of your own life?

Death and change are inevitable aspects of life, and they are life itself pushing you to evolve, and they do not waste time. When the time is right, so will change and death present themselves, companions and leaders, bold yet gentle guides to new life.

So do not stay in shock or sadness now. But instead, note that you are being shown how to live unafraid lives, speaking your truths, and seeking your compassionate side, so that when you are approached with the great moment of change, you will be available to recognize that your energy body, your spirit self, has always chosen change.

You already know. You know that change is necessary, that it is inevitable, and that it is coming, whether you want it or not. So now, My Dear Readers, are you participating in it? That is the real question to ask, “Am I participating in this changing life?”

Thank you for your question, My Dear Sid. Do not struggle too much with the thoughts in your head. Go to your heart, for that is where your man, Tim Russert, lived from, and so did he also die from his big heart, full of truthful speak, and knowing of right direction and purpose.

#332 A Journey Must Be Opted For – It Must Be Chosen

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

Do not fall into old traps or get caught in the foggy malaise. Keep your focus keenly placed on your intent to grow. Peer through the debris and the intensity of the veils to what you know lies ahead. I do not doubt that trying times are ahead. But remember, you have done many shifts over the past year. You have already accomplished much in the way of growth and acceptance of your journey. You have already taken full responsibility for your actions. And even those who still linger in the land of the big baby know that taking full responsibility for the self is the first step out of the crib.

As shifts in the universe take place and the energy changes to a flow that heralds ease of participation, so are you offered the opportunity to jump into it and allow it to aid you. That is what this stage of energetic shift is offering you, the opportunity to be aided by its unseen energy. If you opt to step outside of the comforts and confines of your cribs, your blankies, binkies, and bottles, so will you be supported and held up by the feast of energetic forces ready to propel you forward.

A journey must be opted for. It must be chosen. Sometimes the choice is made in full cognition, with determination and spoken conviction. At other times, does change happen quite peripherally, as if in a dream, yet are you fully allowing of it because at your core do you acquiesce to its necessity.

The energy of now will be available no matter how your shift is undertaken. Whether with firm declaration, or in vague dreamy propelling forward, so is there plenty of energy to back you. Notice what comes to aid you. Be alert to the signs. Watch what happens in the world around you, and farther away, to signal to you that change happens, it is inevitable; and if you are ready for it, so may your ride be somewhat smooth.

Do keep your awareness, your underlying awareness that you know already that change is inevitable, that it must take place in order for growth, in order for you, and those you love the most, to have access to the opportunities that are waiting just around the corner.

Why, My Dearest Readers, do you continue to hesitate? Why do you stay in your cribs? Why do you cry yourselves to sleep at night, when you could be singing happy complacent lullabies, leading you in to a new world of dream reality that will aid you as you advance? Why do you continue to stay in the nursery, afraid to step out into the wonders of life? That is all that awaits, you know. It is just the wonders of life that await your beautiful presence. They are just waiting to present you with all that is being held for you.

Proceed now into the flow of universal energy. Become a part of the new millennium, this time of grand shift away from the human ego and into the new form that is not only necessary, but desirous of your discovery of it. Discover your true energetic potential. Allow it to venture into your life, unafraid because it is your true self and it desires to live.

Your lives, My Dear Readers, are not at all what you think they are. You are not so caught as you perceive. You are not so sleepy as you would like to believe. You are not at all incapable. You are, all of you, energy. And that, My Dears, is what you must continually tap into, your own well of energetic potential.

Begin this day sipping from your inner well of spirit, your own energy. And then open the nursery doors and step out into the energy of the universe that is ready to sweep you off your feet and bring you into the land of a new reality. But you are in charge of daring to change. And that is what I suggest you do now, right now. Dare your self to change. Accept your energetic potential. Accept your own ability to make change happen by taking the first step toward growth. You won’t regret a minute of it. Again, I dare you to dare your self!

Chuck Ketchel, LCSWR
