New E-Book Now Available

As promised, today we release the second e-book version of The Book of Us with the new final chapter, Completion. This chapter describes Jeanne’s completion of her reincarnation cycles through a past life; this life; and her brief re-entry into this world, after death, to complete her soul’s journey.

In keeping with our mission to make available Jeanne’s lessons to all, regardless of financial circumstances, we offer this new version as a free download. The identical book is available in paperback for purchase at www.Amazon.com.

We live in a rapidly changing world where most of the prevailing structures are riddled with greed. In keeping with our own evolutionary intent we have kept The Book of Us free of all attachments to these crumbling structures, launching it to ride freely on the wings of energetic intent. Our intent is for the book to find its own energetic channels to those who are seeking, freed of all promotions and marketing.

If it feels resonant for you to join this intent, please feel free to write your reviews, comments, and experiences on our Amazon page. Many of you have asked for a means to discover each other, to have the opportunity to converse with others who have found guidance and support through Jeanne’s messages. On the Amazon page you have the option to begin a forum, something that we have opted not to do on our own website. We are certain that The Book of Us will delight in that energetic furthering.

When my son Julian heard that The Book of Us was published in paperback and listed on Amazon, he spontaneously burst out: “Mom must be so happy!”

Jan now shifts her focus to her next book, Recapitulation, an exposition of her own riveting journey to part the veils and totally experience her own deepest truths, then empty of them, as she cleared her channel to Jeanne.

Let’s see what happens!

#382 Change Your View of the World-Turn it Upside Down

Dear Jeanne,
Well, the energies continue to amaze, push, and challenge. In spite of all the problems in America and the world, I feel a strong sense of hopefulness on the verge of finally being allowed expression. Can you offer us guidance as we begin a new month of change?

Do not harbor negative qualities of despair, but do indeed turn now to hopeful murmurings that may further your intent to grow and evolve. Within each one of you, is this a good time to allow positive outlook to well up on your horizon. Look not at your feet so much now, but look outward upon the horizon where change looms as a mighty sun rising.

You have been in much contemplation of self lately and this can get a little incestuous. It allows your focus to hone in on what needs attending to, but too much self-focus can get boring and a little too conceited, especially if you are around others who cannot look up beyond their own feet either. What kind of companion is that who does not look upon the horizon and see that, indeed, time has passed, things have changed, and a new hope is on the brink of emerging to offer new energy?

Your times of self-contemplation, self-discovery, recapitulation, and internalizing must continue at all costs, but seek now a new balance. Reassert your self. Reposition your self. Realign your self now, by bringing your eyes up to focus on the measured stability of the horizon.

Your inner life must be maintained, but I suggest that you wake up a little more each day to what is going on outside of you. For in so doing will you have access to the signs and synchronicities that are available to you. Remain too deeply in your inner work, and you will miss what is being presented to you.

I find that those of you who ask for help and for signs that you are on the right path often do not see what is being offered to you, or you misinterpret, based not on evolutionary ideas, but because you remain stuck in an old world. You must keep up with a changing world by re-seeing it now in a different manner.

Do not simply look up and see the same world today. But look up and see it with different eyes, based on all the hard work you have done and all the things you have learned as you have progressed. See the world differently and in so doing open your self to the absolute possibility of hopefulness for the future.

Allow the future to begin today by disregarding your old ideas of life, of your own life, and of the world around you as you have thus far perceived it, observed it, and thought about it. Notice your comments, your ideas, your constructs, and turn them upside down. As you gaze upon the horizon, observe that you have never really noticed the world around you before. Everything is not as you thought! Everything is different now because you must make the point to perceive it differently. You must make a concerted effort to actively participate in a changing world by first changing your view of it.

With this energetic shift in perception will you be in complete control of acquiescing to your journey. I know that many of you have a hard time understanding what I mean by acquiescing. It is not an easy thing to do, you say. But I say, you have no choice in the matter, except to choose to be alive. If you are alive, you do in fact acquiesce every day to your life as it is played out step by step. But if you want to be in control, then I suggest that you acquiesce to your journey by perceiving it differently.

If you look at your world and see the same old humdrum world that you are so bored with, so complacently going along with, so are you not at all in control. You are simply an automaton; robotically moving in a stagnant scene you call your life. But if you look at your world and recreate it, so that things are different, beginning with your very body, so will you begin to participate in acquiescing to your journey.

Look at your body and dismiss your usual mantras regarding this physical self. Change them to something else. Instead of negative ramblings, select energetically positive sayings such as:

I am an energetic being who inhabits this amazing construction that is my body.
I energetically choose to participate in becoming aware.
I intend awareness of self as I energetically move in this world.
As I move, I shift the air before me. I push it away.
I am in control of the air around me by my very presence in this world.
I cause shift, simply by being.
I cause shift, simply by moving.
I cause energetic ripples,
repercussions that flow outward from my physical energy body,
right out to the far horizon.
I think about my body as an energetic force.
I am energy.

You see! You can immediately feel differently by becoming energy. And by becoming energy, and perceiving everything else as energy, so do you now acquiesce to an energetic journey. If you can keep this idea of being energy in your thoughts and actions today, so can you release your self from the old world and create a new world. I would advise this as good evolutionary activity. It will help you all, as your world changes and tumbles upside down.

If you look for it to be what it once was, you will not be able to get back on your feet. You will be completely disoriented and immobilized because your old horizon will not exist any longer. But if you can begin to accept your energetic qualities and components of self as energy, so can you not only survive the tumbling down of your world as you know it, but you will land lightly upon your feet in the new world. It will become clear that you must shift your perceptions to energy in order to not only survive, but evolve. Everything is energy!

#381 The Dark Serpent of Change Tangles with the White Serpent of Transformation

Dear Jeanne,
Today we start a new week. The intense energy of last week appears to have died down. What can we look forward to this week?

My Dear Readers, do not get fooled by appearances. While the intensity is toned down do not risk taking your eyes off the situations that remain brewing. Even a temporary respite leaves doors open for the wrong kind of energy to enter and wreak havoc. The Dark Side does show its face now as this time of seeming lull does attend upon your time frame. Vigilance and alertness are still called for My Dears, and your cognitive abilities are even more necessary now, as trickery is in the minds of those in power and those who seek power.

This trickery may not even be uppermost in the calculations of risks proposed, but (and this is a big but) they must consider all angles, and no angle is without its possibilities. Even the most negative and direst of possibilities will pass muster now, as the culmination of opposite powers does its dark work behind closed doors.

You seek truth. You seek purity and innocence. You strive for this in your own life and this is where you must remain focused. Do not look for those in political favor to be as innocent and truth seeking as you who do your recapitulation work so diligently are. This is a time of compromise for many who otherwise would ride the white horse of change through the veils of deception, enlightening you all. But the veils are being pulled tighter and tighter now, and your very truths are being locked and clamped down by those who seek more power over your world, your country, and even your very body and soul.

Are you speaking of the American political scene right now? And even the repercussions on the world stage?

I speak dually of the politics-as-usual playing out in America. One side speaks and seeks truth, but the other responds by digging deeper trenches around its coffers, seeking not exposure of how high its treasures loom into the night sky, or how valuable they consider their deceptively acquired gold. The coin is golden on one side, a treasure, but flip it over and it is but a dark hole that sucks into its depths the unsuspecting, hearing its tricky, confusing rhetoric that seeks to utterly fascinate with its deceptive thinking. Although this energy plays out now upon the world stage, deeply embedded in the internal affairs of America, so is this dark side interested in each and every one of you. For once it perceives weakness, and attention placed on the possibility of change based on its ideas, so does it perceive the greater possibility of roping you in, tying you down to it ideals, and then it will have you for its own purposes of perpetuating its greed.

Do not fall for this dark energy that tricks and twists the truth and presents a shiny picture that, in truth, is full of dark holes lightly covered over with a false veneer. Do not trust what is thrust before you as “the salvation.” Do not listen to the lies that even the good people among you are forced to concede to. This time of destruction will continue unabated now, for yet a time to come. The next few weeks may appear to be energetically calm, but beneath the surface the dark serpent of change does tangle with the white serpent of transformation.

This scenario is also going to be going on inside each of you. You may find your selves drawn back to people in your pasts who have meant much to you. You may find your selves caught in conversations that do not resolve, that do not accomplish what you know must be accomplished. You may be squabbling endlessly in messy confrontations with no point, no resolution, and really no heart as the basis. You may discover that your truths are constantly being revealed, yet are you unable to maintain awareness of them. You may also find that appearances, at first seemingly right and safe and good, soon slip into less appealing and undesirable patinas that you would rather no longer encounter.

To find the silver lining in all of this doom and gloom is to remain connected to inner self. This is what must be maintained and nurtured now, in order to keep a handle on the truth of reality. The true connection to innocent self, in order to be held in your awareness, must be properly, and with concerted effort, placed in your face, right before your eyes. Keep your eyes focused on this inner truth of self at all times.

If you must play in the projective field, which is also very active now, so do I ask that you consider that all projections are self studies, being presented for your growth. In order to really work this time must you see your self out there in the world, doing all those things you find so appalling, so disgraceful, so ugly, so disingenuous and dishonest. Place your self upon the faces of others and look for the quality being so boldly displayed and ask: “Where is that quality in me?” In this manner will your time in dark deception be well used, your ability to maneuver through this mess well managed, and your time well spent on growth.

Turn now from wanting, from even a hint of greed. There is enough of that already negatively impacting the energy. Turn inward where light and innocence seek your attention, cleaned and scrubbed clear of the sticky oil of deception that now seeks control in your outside world. Once that oil is smeared upon the truth, will it be difficult to clean it off and once again see the true picture.

Your good leaders are in battle now with those whose hands are sticky with that oil. Their clean hands take on dark smears at every handshake at the end of every deal now being made. The good ones seek to wipe it off, but it does not easily remove before the next deal is struck and the next oily hand extended. Watch out now as presentations of compromises are presented. Do not trust the outcomes, but keep in your hearts the truths that the good ones seek also to hold in their hearts.

Maintain now an energy of good. Allow the white serpent inside you to hold onto its purity for the right reasons, even as it must go to battle with the oily dark serpent inside you, each confronting the conflicts and controversies that now will rise up during this dark time of change that is upon your world.

Maintain your inner lights now, My Dear Ones. Your seeking self will not let you down. Your truth seeking politicians will not let you down either. Let them proceed with the deals being made, but await further truths being revealed at a later date that will expose the utter truths not now ready for your ears and eyes. Prepare your self for the bright light to come. It may be blinding after all this darkness, but if you have been preparing, by staying in your own light, so will you be able to handle it.

Truths are now difficult to see and hold onto; that is the truth of these next few weeks. But maintaining awareness of good, of honesty, and of desire for innocence to become known are the sparks that must guide you all now. Use your handhold on these inner truths to light your way. Keep your hands in front of you, pulling aside the veils, dark and numerous though they may be.

Commentary on Message #380 From Chuck

I am delighted that Jeanne so eloquently comments on our favorite subject of exploration when we walked together in this world, PROJECTION. In relationships the usual focus for projection is the anima/animus, one’s soul, which accounts for the compelling power and magic of the in-love experience. In Jeanne’s reply to this female reader she instructs that she reclaim the strength and beauty of her own strong woman. In effect, that is the real challenge to finding one’s wholeness. Yes, when we fall in love we are experiencing union with our contra-sexual internal other. For a man this is his inner woman and for a woman her inner man, as reflected in our partner. However, we are also falling in love with our partner’s valuation of us; through being wanted and desired by another we become valuable. Many are caught by an inability to value themselves, hence they constantly seek the reflection of their worth in the attention given to them by the other. Jeanne instructs this woman to turn her inner man’s fascination to her strong woman, that is, to fall in love with herself. This is not narcissism; this is the experience of truly valuing and giving attention to the self. Loving the self entails an honest recapitulation, which involves facing all the truths of the self, with total acceptance. Loving the self is valuing and withstanding the utter truth that, despite all our wonderful companions, our completion is totally a solo journey, and we are all completely worthy of the adventure.

#380 Relationships Can Be Very Tricky

Today, A Reader asks for guidance about a relationship.

Dear Jeanne,
I read your “wisdom messages” regularly, and thank you for your valuable guidance. Perhaps you will be able to respond to this situation for me? I’ve been in a long working relationship with a man, with whom the connection has also been “more,” but in the last couple of years it has mellowed into the form of task companions and friends. Recently, however, his attitude toward me has deteriorated into flagrant rudeness, arrogance, and even mean-spiritedness.

In any other situation, I’d be less conflicted about just getting out of this relationship, but I have a professional connection with this man that I feel I need to keep intact and amenable while I look for work. In a matter of weeks, an enduring, fairly close connection has become a source of hurt to me, and by all appearances, just an annoyance to him. He will not discuss this; his position is that if he’s not feeling “good energy” coming toward him from someone, he will not be bothered by them at all. I’m all for good energy, but to me, acknowledging what’s happening, clearing negative energy, and creating understanding is healing, and will help revive good energy!

This entire relationship, which I felt was kindred and lasting (even in its difficulties), is now hitting me like an ongoing sucker-punch, which I am literally feeling in my solar plexus. Still I keep hoping we can resuscitate what was good between us, at least enough to create a graceful (grace-filled) split! Dear Jeanne, do you have any insight into this particular situation that you might share? I swear, the energies are whipping my life enough without this knocking me over the edge!

Thank you, thank you…. oxo Anonymous.

My Dearest Reader, relationships can be very tricky, especially between strong men and strong women who each have equal abilities to love, desire, and compensate for the frailties of the other. It is not your responsibility to uphold any aspect of a partner that that partner cannot himself hold as his own. Keep that in mind as I answer your question. By this I mean that you do not need to protect or to treasure an aspect of this man you are so connected to. It is far better to ask him to own it, even as you own that aspect in your self. Is that clear?

I find it necessary, as regards relationships, to first state that all relationships begin as projective, idealistic flurries. Once the flurry dies down, so is it much clearer who stands before you. Your own relationship with this man may be at the clearing stage now. As it is with you, so is it with him, and this you must pay attention to. Regard not his disdain, but regard your own inner struggles to become an independent and strongly stable person in your own right. This is where you are caught, you know. The projection is now being revealed as just that, and you stand nakedly exposed and alone with the dust of the flurry you have been caught in for the past several years. Within a relationship flurry, within a whirlwind, is clarity not truly possible. It is only afterwards that truth can be exposed, posed, and proposed.

Your dilemma does not stand with this man, but within your self, though you look to him for support. This I can understand, but you must not hold out hopes that he will supply you with what you request. It may not be possible for him to turn back and observe your needs while he flees his own reflection in you. This happens in relationships, quite often, as truths are revealed.

Did I not, myself, once flee a relationship upon that earth when it got messy and tough, in order to find once again the fire ignited in another? To continually seek the spark of ignition is to remain always in the whirlwind, always in the beauty of the projective state. But that state does not last forever, as reality soon shakes you awake and says: “Hey, wait a minute! You must have balance, and stability, and honor the truth of your own being, even while you honor the truth of another.”

Find your self now upon your own two feet, not let down gently, but let down nonetheless. Find your center. Find your strong woman inside you that this man was once drawn to. You have not totally accepted that she exists, yet have you seen her on many occasions. She asks you now to release her from this man who abruptly pushes her from him. She stands before YOU and asks YOU to take her back. Do not give her back to any man, but only take her back to your self.

This is how projections end. They do not necessarily fade out, though that is also possible. But in your case, the screen went suddenly blank and you were left in the dark. Turn the lights on, My Dear. Look around your self. Where are you? Where do you honestly find your self? Alone? Well, that is truly the best place to be!

Now you are at a place of rebirth. Now you are being asked to fully accept who you are without attachment, without projection, without your soul having to be connected or controlled by that of another. This journey of the soul is yours alone to take. You are not bound to another or another’s soul, as you might predict. That is not how journeys through life are accomplished. Yes, we travel many times with others, with other energy beings, but ultimately must we sever ties in order to have our own experiences upon that earth, separate from those who we may eventually complete our lives with at another time, in another world.

I give the example of my own completion as Jeanne Marie Ketchel. My soul’s completion had nothing to do with the vital connection I maintain with the two who now continue my connection to you in this manner. My Dearest Chuck and My Sweet Jan and I have had previous connections upon that earth realm and will have connection in the future in infinity. But each of us must accept our own soul’s journey and the completion of our individual lives in spite of what we have learned about our connection to each other. Completion is centered on the individual, completing the individual soul’s journey.

This is what I present to you now. My advice is: Remove your attention and, subsequently, your energy from this man. Remove your focus, your thoughts, your yearnings for connection and completion from this man. Yes, even though you have, and have had, quite a strong and deeply fulfilling link to each other, so is it time to also turn your back and walk in a new direction, not out of spite, disappointment, anger, or disdain, but purely for energetic reasons.

Take back your energy and apply it to your own growth. You have deep wells of sadness, I see, but you do not even know of your deeps wells of strength yet. Remove your feet from dangling in the wells of sadness and the wells of the past and walk swiftly now to your inner wells of strength and beauty.

Your request for something from this man will not now be replied to. You will find, in spite of your insistence that you need connection in order to move on, that this will not be true in the long run. You may hold on to that idea, that you need him, if you must, but it will inhibit your progress. It will keep a thread of attachment through which your energy will drain out of you, weakening your ability to access your inner strength.

As I said, relationships can be very tricky. Know this, all of You Readers who dabble and tease in the projective field. It is far better to sit alone on a Saturday night, and discover who you truly are, than to sit with another who is not who they appear to be. The energy now upon that earth is tricky in this way. So if you are already playing love games in the projective field, watch out because you will find that this tricky energy will produce many projections at once and you will not be sure which is the real person. And you can get fooled, bitterly so.

This is a time of deception, of untruths, of cause for alarm because there are mirrors all over the place. Do not get caught in the dark movie house, or a hall of mirrors where you cannot find a real person in the darkness.

You will not succeed in finding what you want outside of you by looking into those movie screens or those funny mirrors. You will only find what you want by looking inward, facing your self, your truths, your reality, and then allowing your acceptance of self to birth new appreciation of your lovely qualities. Do not give them away, but keep them inside you. Nurture them and feed off them your self now, allowing them to become your new wells of strength.

I hope this aids you in your dilemma, My Dear Reader. Your question is one of confusion of self really, and not a question of another. Relationships provide us with the opportunity to discover who we truly are, and that is your real challenge now.

Turn your back now, withdraw your strength and your beauty from this man and give them back to your self. Then will you find your way. Your path will be clearer, your head and heart stronger, and your journey more defined by your own capable hands pulling aside the veils rather than someone else’s. Look at your hands and ask them to lead you where you need to go. They will find you what you need. Good Luck!
