Today I asked Jeanne another question.

Dear Jeanne,
In yesterday’s message you talked a lot about change and how needed it is now. I think most people are well aware that it is very necessary, but getting started making real changes can be difficult. Can you speak about this?

Change must happen or there will be no growth upon that Earth. Such stagnancy has occurred, and the result is the condition you now find yourselves in, both in the world and in the United States of America. Do not believe that it is up to others to force change, for that is not so, nor is it the responsibility of the governments or the powers that be, for often are they the ones most stuck. No, as I usually say about any aspect of growth, it is up to each one of you to enact change within the self and within your own life.

Do not harbor fears of what might happen, of how you will sustain change, or how you will maintain your present status as you perceive the necessary changes that must be started. Do not anticipate, but do participate in changing your self, how you live, and how you use the resources upon that Earth. Do not be afraid of loss or of devastation, but instead think upon positive, natural, and long lasting changes that will be viable and strengthening for the self and others.

There is much upon that planet that asks for change, for nurturance, and for doing things differently now. I do not advocate that you suddenly shift, but I do ask that as a thinking caring individual you begin to ponder your own situation and seek to do life differently now.

This I have asked of you many times before. I ask again that you do things differently in the inner you, by doing your inner work, and in the outer you who uses the resources of that Earth. Abide by the Steps of Change* to give you a head start on what it means to become a growth oriented and changing being.

If no changes had occurred from when man first inhabited that planet so would much be different, but for generations would there have been stagnancy of many sorts. From your perspective now look back on the utter simplicity of spiritual and natural life that has been long lost. Reconnecting to the spiritual is the best place to begin your own personal change, for from that connection to the inner you are you offered many threads to choose that will inevitably lead to a strong and certain direction of change.

As you are already perhaps strongly attached to the spiritual self so must you go deeper into that spiritual self now for daily living, daily encounters, and daily business. Bring that self outward now, and ask it to make the decisions, based on your knowing that it will choose only what is right. Once you are friends, companions, with this inner spiritual self, so can you trust the decisions made by this soulful self to enact change and really begin to see some progress in your life.

As you know, I always suggest that no real and lasting change will happen until you get into the habit of doing your recapitulation. Find plenty of time for pondering the self, and you will find that as you do this act of inner resolution and cleansing so will you free up your energy so that you may actually have new energy for all the changes that are now so necessary.

Do you not hear the word “change” being spoken all around you? What does that mean to you on an individual basis? Find out what change means in your own life, and then go make it happen for your spiritual growth. Then see what opens up as you begin a journey based in truth of the self, and eagerness for a changing self first of all.

Don’t wait around deciding too much longer. There isn’t time for stagnancy. The energy is available to aid you. So why not see where it leads you? You’ll be very pleased with the changes in your self, and you’ll be very pleased with the ease with which you begin to flow in your new life as you find ways to become a changing person in the world around you, seeking not only personal change, but real viable changes that will have affect in the world around you as well.

Do something to start the ball rolling today. I challenge you all!

Today I asked Jeanne a question in the old format, for a broader view of how she is guiding humanity these days.

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

Do not lose sight of your ultimate goal, which is completion of your life cycles upon that plane. This is your task, and this must remain your focus in spite of the messages of warning and propositions from outside energies. Do not fall victim to fears of attachment, nor focus too keenly upon the negative or evil energies and entities that I have spoken of. Keep your attention firmly focused on growth and learning the ways of the warrior, the one who knows and understands that evolution is the only name of the game.

With focus on evolution and personal growth do you open the doors to new awarenesses that will lead you safely through the trials and tribulations of life, but also bring you good guidance and protection as you make your way focused on moving on to a new level of awareness and life.

When I speak of the realities that exist around you, so do I do so in order to aid you in remaining alert and knowledgeable. For only with knowledge will your journey truly be one of fulfillment, and your issues be resolved. To go blindly forward with naiveté, and dazed or glazed eyes and mind, is not going to offer you enough for progress to be made. You must be alert, aware of all that exists to disrupt you on your journey; and learn the ways to keep yourself safe, protected, and focused as you make your way. Without such knowledge will you continue to remain caught in the veils of unknowing and the untruths that are spoken all around you.

So I did not intend to scare by answering questions about the occurrences and dangers of negative powers, but only to teach you that there are many energies that seek sustenance. By remaining focused on unburdening the self of old ideas, old pathways of action, and seeking the deepest truths of the self, so will your concentration on this process of recapitulation, if done with pure intent, keep you safe upon your path. If your own focus remains on seeking good in the self, and acknowledging that it does exist in all upon that Earth, though often deeply buried, so will you offer your self a safer passage by becoming unappealing to the negative energies.

Use your knowledge of the self to seek greater knowledge of the self and the world you have inhabited. Seek to change the self and the means by which you live upon that Earth, for this is called for at this time. The energy of change is upon you all, and will continue to shift, and collide with other energies, wreaking havoc, devastation, and desiring that all upon that Earth wake up to the facts that things are different now and will continue to be so.

It is up to those of you who reside there to be the arbiters of change, to speak out for change, and to enact change in your own lives, so that the future may offer a brighter light than now shines upon that Earth. Change your self; change your own world; change your thinking; change your habits, your desires, and your means of using the natural resources at your disposal. Think and act differently now, from the heart, and from the head that knows and urges truth to be accepted and recognized as the new means of life.

Do not run from your own truths. Do not shift too far from your own inner work, but remain cognizant of all that is shifting and changing around you, and go with the flow of this energetic push that does come from everywhere. Remain centered. Learn as much as you can about your self, but stay always on the path of good and of change, debunking the untruths, and finding the deeper hidden truths of the human condition and the meaning of your own life upon that Earth. That is how you will succeed in becoming an evolutionary being now during this time of great shift. Look to the self for the answers too, for that is where the real truths to who you are lie; and the answers to the how, the why, and the wherefore of life. You are an evolutionary being already, you just need to reconnect to that true self who asks you to do the inner work required to find the thread that will unravel the whole picture of who you thought you were and reveal the real you.

So enjoy the energies that come to aid you as you find your way. Remain upon your seeking path, with diligent foresight, planning, and concerted effort to remain focused and always seeking enlightenment and truth. Good Luck, your way is paved with signs and with guidance. Look around you with awareness and alertness and you’ll see what I mean!

The next message will be channeled and posted by noon EDT on Monday May 19, 2008. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will go on to another subject next week. Please continue to send your questions, and as you may have noticed, really nothing is too personal, because there is always someone else who is seeking guidance along the same lines. This has been true over and over again. I very often hear that “today’s message was just for me!” So don’t be shy. Jeanne and I love your participation.
Have a great weekend!
Jan

Dear Readers of Jeanne’s Messages:

I am unavailable to channel a message today. Please continue to send your questions to Jeanne. The new forum format has proven to be quite positive and interesting. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

Thank you for participating in this amazing experience,
Jan

Dear Jeanne,
Would you like to continue talking about the dark side one last time today?

Yes, I would. In my own case, during my early training, was I put into a position of full encounter with dark souls. The experience was one of learning to maintain my own energy boundaries, of pulling in to my center, of turning away, both from being drawn outward and being drawn into. It took all of my strength to maintain my centeredness. Yet now am I quite used to centering myself and retaining my energy composition, though early on was it a challenge also to remain alert and aware, with clarity of purpose strictly maintained on allowing the dark energy to pass by without influence.

Later did I learn to use my own powerful energy to do battle with the dark side. On more than one occasion was I called to combative service to train me for eventually encountering such evil intent upon that Earth. Training here is ultimately meant to aid those of you in our care, and I have had occasion to utilize my skills in energetic concentrations and intent upon that plane. For there do arise times when I am summoned to help persons in need. Even those who have elected to follow the dark side, choosing the path of oblivion, getting caught by the clutching hands of dark energy, hungry for the daring who venture into their dark tunnels, do ask for help and deserve response.

In such a case of aid is my usual gracious and calm intent tightly bundled into an equally dark force in order to be prepared for the battle ahead. You would not recognize me, for a cold chill would pass over you if I entered your nearness. But such action is necessary when combating the dark energies, for only equally dark intent will have the possibility of succeeding in battle with the dark side.

My early training was intense, and often frightening in an energetic way. I was taught with others in my group to learn about how the dark side works in order to be prepared for anything that might arise. For instance, not only did I place myself in the path of such dark energy, but on occasion did I disguise myself as one of them, and join their forces in order to pass the final tests of my own abilities to remain centered, aware, and full of positive intent, even while clothed in darkness.

Many do not pass that test and have to be rescued, for none of the light side would ever allow for such a casualty to occur. For to lose even one good soul to the dark side at that point would be a total waste of a good journey, and that is just not acceptable. Once pulled out and revived, the entity is further trained. For all must be able to encounter darkness and be aware enough to pull out, even if at the last second.

This awareness, as I have spoken of often, is key to every encounter in the new world one enters after death does come to release the energy body from the human body. At that moment is total awareness granted, lives reviewed, and the moment of choice comes, to either continue onward into new worlds of infinity or to remain in the veils, ready to take on waiting for a new journey upon that Earth plane.

Awareness is key at this point, and once maintained, and the veils left behind, so does the awareness continue gaining in clarity and intent. From that point onward, does the real adventure begin. I bring in this subject now to shift the focus away from the dark side, for I do not want to linger there any longer.

Be advised that the darkness is a crucial aspect of life on all planes, that it will be encountered on all journeys; that it is necessary to learn about it, understand it, maneuver around it and past it; that it always has been and always will be, just as good always has been and always will be. So there you have it. Now perhaps you know enough about the dark side to determine how you want to live your life, but also how to do your recapitulation with fuller understanding of the dark aspects of the self.

Do not get caught by the darker aspects of the self. Accept that they exist and have existed. There can be no greater truth than to admit, accept, and acquiesce to the darkest truths about the self. No one is squeaky clean. All have had encounters with darkness within themselves. And this is a most necessary aspect to the recapitulation process, to uncover the dark truths of the self, and truly become balanced and one with the universe. For without the balance of both aspects, of good and evil in the self, would you not be a complete being, with the ability to complete your journey upon that Earth.

Yes, there are many that may appear to be only good and hold only good within themselves, but they know in their own journey where the darkness lies. Do not judge others for their struggles in that realm. Do not blame or judge the self either, for it is all a necessary part of living. And thus is it also a necessary act of your recapitulation process. For without accessing that aspect of the self, will you have an incomplete journey.

Once your acceptance of this aspect of the self is finished, so will your balance be better and more easily maintained. And once that is accomplished, so will your life flow better too. There is nothing wrong with having dark aspects. In my world, and the world you are preparing for, is it totally known and truthfully acknowledged that all have and need such aspects in order to survive, and to learn how to maneuver and utilize all aspects of the self to help others. To be called upon to aid those of you who reside there, must one, in my position of pure energy, be totally aware of all that it is possible to encounter. There is no telling what one may be asked to do, so we must be well prepared. And your recapitulation now, upon that Earth, with total nonjudgmental acceptance of all aspects of the self is going to further your journey in infinity.

Once in your energy body, do all human attributes disappear; yet must you finish what is left unfinished if you have not completed all aspects of your journey. Your awareness, your purity, will be maintained, but your attention to detail will be your first lesson in enhancing intent. The further along in preparation you are, the better for you. And the acceptance of the self as equal balance of good and evil is one big step in the right direction. Remember, when I speak of balance, of how necessary it is in all aspects of life, so do I mean that to pertain to each one of you, My Fine Journeyers. For all of you are small universes. Everything is contained within you, and you are seeking to understand what you hold within, how to utilize it, and eventually how to merge it with full higher consciousness in infinity.

You are all doing well. Continue the good work, and the evil work to, so to speak, by encountering your own dark side; reconciling with it; and accepting that you are only a complete being when you do so; for only then will you truly be balanced. And your energy body requires that balance. Then see where it takes you next. You never know!
