Today, Tom asks a question.

Dear Jeanne,
During the last year I have come to your guidance as a great change in my life had been taking place. It began with taking better care of my body, then with an awakening of my heart.

I have been working in therapy with Chuck for several months and my evolutionary growth is the primary focus of my life. It has provided me with much joy and some pain as I have struggled to understand and grow. In addition to your messages and “The Book of Us”, I have particularly been inspired by the writing of Robert A. Johnson and, to the limits of my ability to understand the terminology, C. G. Jung. I trust that I will be led to what I need for growth and I believe I have achieved a patient acceptance that my evolutionary growth will unfold in time, as it should if I maintain a steady focus. The use of heart centered breathing helped me this weekend with a long standing resistance to the work I need to do to put my physical surroundings in order and I am thankful for all that I’ve been blessed with this past year. Can you offer guidance regarding understanding of the projection of my anima in the relationships in my life and how doing the inner work with my dreams and active imagination will bring me to a more balanced and expanded consciousness?
Thank you for your love and guidance,
Tom

My Dear Tom, you are a seeker, and as all seekers must you turn to your self for the answers. To continually look outside of the self will result in refusal to contain the issues and tackle them in a manner that is appropriate for an evolutionary being. In other words, you must turn inward at all times now in order to grow. For I see that you have evolved to a point of acceptance, acquiescence, and exploration, but you are in further need of inner work. By this inner work do I mean solving the questions that arise in your inner magnifying glass, your inner microscope, rather than putting on your binoculars and looking for distractions, loves, and attention outside of you.

You Tom, and all of My Readers and your fellow seekers, in order to understand the self must you first experience this anima/animus aspect of the self that this man does bring up, for it is the most profound recognition of the self, that the self projects outward all that one has hidden inside. At first may this appear to be an incorrect statement. But without judgment is it possible to acknowledge that outside of the self is it much easier, and perhaps safer, to place these inner problems and prospects for growth. The inner self, until it is ready to allow truth to emerge, is happy to project, to judge, to find fault, disgust, stupidity, and simplemindedness outside of the self, especially while the ego is in the process of building.

There comes a time in life when the ego becomes overladen with its own need to have more, and then is it desirous of unburdening itself of all that it carries, the burdens of the inner self, sitting upon its outer shell, heavy and constantly doing battle with what it perceives as interferences from outside. Interferences may be love interests pointing out the possibilities of the inner self, projections of desire that will go unfulfilled until the inner self learns love and compassion for the inner child that exists inside everyone. The outer self, the ego self, maintains such strict standards! But to what end? In order to uphold some old ideas, some old lies, untruths, and long ago developed ideals that wish to be uncovered and rediscovered as truths waiting within the spirit self, and the child self, for that is where all secrets to the self lie, not outside of the self.

So, that being said, as an evolutionary being is it this process of detachment that I speak so often of that now must be started in order to cease the old habits. Detachment requires turning the binoculars inward now, switching over then to the magnifying glass, and eventually getting out the microscope as you do your inner work. Ask constantly, “Why?” as regards the self. And then wake up the inner child self and ask for an answer. I can guarantee that there is where the truth lies. But do not do this in a demanding, accusatory way, as perhaps the adults in your life once did, but ask gently, with the love and compassion that you are learning as you practice detachment, and as you learn what it truly means to be evolutionary.

Perhaps what you thought was an enigma, a goddess, a perfection of everything you were not, is but an energetic being like your self. As energy are you all the same. As energy is no one grander or more perfect that another. All are equal in shape, in form, in beauty, in characteristics, in intent and focus of growth. As energetic beings is there no man and no woman, no sex, and no sex appeal. But at the same time, is energy the ultimate of all of those things, for it takes everything and encompasses it in the intensity of truly vibrant, energetic, and alive love. Each of you have this within, and this you must recognize when you look outside of your self for fulfillment. You will not find it until you have tackled the challenges that your anima, or animus poses to you.

Your anima, My Dear Tom, is simply your best, most honest friend and companion, pointing out your path, your inner path, your direction for how to get to the truth of the inner self. Turn inward. Look to the self. Put aside your books now for a time. You have already learned enough dogma, enough terminology, and enough definition to last you several lifetimes. Turn now, with your reading glasses on, to the small print that you have barely noticed inside your self. Turn inward, and read the inner words of truth. Listen too, for that inner voice would like you to hear what it has to say to you after all these years of ignoring it, with your ears taking in so much of your outer environment.

This is how you will be able to process what you have learned, and find what you seek. It is all inside you. That is where you will find all the answers to love, to caring compassion for the self; the one you must learn to love the most, but with utter honesty, humility, and detachment.

See what happens as the energy outside of you continues to also point you inward. That is what this time on Earth is really all about. You Earthbound Ones must learn to stop reaching for things outside of you. They are not attainable. You are looking in the wrong places. Everything is inside you. Begin to look there now more often for your answers. You’ll find them, I guarantee that!

For this question I thank you, Tom. And for this day I request that you do not pick up another book, or read another word about what you should be doing. Instead, go innerly and ask your inner child what should be attended to first. This is good advice for all of you Seekers and Evolutionary Beings. You might be surprised at the answer, but I suggest you pay attention to it and truly take the evolutionary path. Good luck!

Today, Sid asks a question.

Dear Jeanne,
I was first introduced to you through my work with Chuck, and then with Jan. I feel that I was ready for this next connection, as it resonates very deeply. I believe you said once that the three of you were related in a previous life. So do we decide, with members of our soul group, prior to each new earthly life, to enter those lives with each other at times when to do so would provide an experience for our further evolution? Many times in my own life has a person or situation appeared that became either an immediate or an eventual evolutionary vehicle. Does our soul group remain energetically linked, both in spirit and in earthly form? Are some of them our guides?
Love,
Sid

My Dear Sid, Jan and Chuck and I, although linked in previous lives, must all live out our own fulfillment individually. Our linkage has continued to this day through preconceived efforts on our parts and the greater overall completion of our destinies to evolve, but also to mature into souls with a mission of import during a time when this is not only acceptable but feasible.

As you know, we at one time were ostracized for our uninhibited approach to what we offered. The times did not receive us, and our demise became buried in historical fact. However, our commitment to continue the connection was well placed in our destinies. There is reason for all encounters in life. Some partnerships and relationships of intimacy go beyond the normal everyday passings. Some are connected for reasons that go beyond present knowing, but figure in to a greater structure of future energetic existence. That is the connection that you now witness in this process of channeling, healing, and awakening now being made available to you.

However, this process would not have evolved to this point had not each of us taken on the challenges presented to us in life, that 21st century life, that modern evolutionary time. The challenges embraced, studied, and the signs acknowledged and followed have brought this convergence that to many seems quite appropriate and acceptable, while to others is but a crock of shit! That I do declare with knowledge that not all are prepared for the ideas being proposed now, and throughout all time, that reality is not what it may seem.

That being said, I must address your query regarding the actual preparation of these lives that we have lived, and continue to live. In a predestined situation are opportunities presented that each individual must determine as their path, and choices must be made. Perhaps many choices do not lead to fulfillment in a single lifetime, but many lives are needed.

Is the soul group involved in determining the challenges presented? There is no determining factor, it is but known. It is but laid out without forethought, but with total knowing, if that makes sense. Chuck and Jan and I did not sit down with advisors and plot out our lives. But we did have contained within us all possibilities, and all choices and opportunities existing within each of our energetic composites. Each of you contain attachment to all possibility, all knowledge, and all connection of thought, of wholeness, of completion in eternity. All of you have within you everything you need. You are all infinity. You are all part of the universe.

Your own path, Sid, is littered with people of significance. Those you meet who resonate and offer guidance, truth, and challenge may appear as gentle souls, clearly extending knowledge of your attachment to all things, or they may appear as negative influences keeping you grounded in the vagaries of that life upon the confines of Earth. Yet are they all guides, all opportunities for growth.

As soul groups evolve, by completion upon the Earth level, so do you reconnect with your own place in infinity, from which you came and from which you return, having done the work of the first level of growth upon that Earth. Your lives upon that Earth are meant to re-inform you of your innermost abilities; your connection to greater awareness and consciousness; and to learn humility, love, and compassion. Your times there in that realm are to learn what the ego is, what the truth is about your own ego, the desires of it, the big baby, the greedy focus of the insatiable beast inside each person upon that Earth. To deny the insatiable beast is to deny the truth of the ego. Each one of you must allow the beast to live, at some point in your lifetimes, or evolution to an egoless state of pure awareness, comprised of love, compassion, and connection with all things will not be accomplished.

So the people you meet in your lifetimes upon that Earth are there to aid you in evolutionary growth. Accept the ones who prod your inner beast, for they are as important as those who prod your inner spirit. If you can accept them you will begin to understand what your journey really means. Do not run from, or reject, the ones who seek to destroy you for the characteristics of the beast inside you, nor the ones who cannot abide the spirit seeker in you either. Tend to both aspects of the self, with reverence for the inner spirit that seeks wholeness. Trust that everyone you meet is your guide, and everyone you come in contact with is connected because, in reality, are you all connected. This connection is the aspect of the self that you seek convergence with during your lifetimes upon that Earth, as you battle the ego and the spirit selves, the negative and the positive selves, and the grounded and the ethereal selves. Do not lose sight of this news that: You are everything! You are connected to everything. You are full consciousness. You are total truth. You are fulfillment of life, with connection not only to your own soul group, but to all other soul groups, through your consciousness of everything as energy. Do not forget this most blatant and revealing truth: You are energy; everything is energy; you are everything. I don’t know what else I can say in order to teach you, My Lovely Seekers, besides this truth of energetic competency. You are all connected, interconnected, now and forever, and that, My Dears, is what life, soul groups, higher consciousness, and fulfillment are all about, the interconnectedness of all things through energetic vibration, the substance of life and reality.

So, My Dear Sid who struggles to understand life and evolution, keep your self focused on your inner work as I have continually instructed. Focus on your own inner work, as work of energy, of understanding the connection of all to all, and the fact that you are where you are now because you should be. What is life showing you? Where do you need to go next?

All of You Readers be aware that your life has the greatest meaning for your evolution from that earthly realm, and is of utmost importance. Live your lives as energetic beings, aware of your inner knowing of all things, aware of your connection to infinity, and aware that you have choices to make, every day, related to your progress toward completion.

I will continue this discussion again, I am sure, as your questions continue to evolve with your awareness, and I am happy to do so, but for now, experience your energy!

Today, Alissa asks a question.

Dear Jeanne,
In a recent message, you talked about our future groups and projects that we will be connected to after this world. Can you talk about this a little further? Does the group consist of family or friends? Is size a factor? Do the groups and projects evolve and change? Is it connected to our career paths here on earth? Thank You.
Love,
Alissa

Be aware, My Dearest Alissa, that talk of soul groups and future life is meant to entice you to live the life you now have, to its fullest potential. For without that completion will none of this talk of soul groups have much importance. But I will acquiesce to this greatest of curiosities for you and my many Readers who consider the future, though it may still be many lifetimes away. I do encourage a brief acceptance of the fact of future continuous, unbroken life; energetic life that will lead on into places not so far removed from what you experience now, but yes, quite different too. For as energy, with fuller knowledge of being energy and nothing else, is there a greater awareness overall, and thus is it possible to truly understand and accept the ideas of soul groups.

I must continue also by saying that the concept will be better understood if you have already begun to accept that detachment must be achieved in order to evolve to this point of shift to a new reality. So keep that in mind. Understand and seek to accept the things I am going to lay out before you with detachment, as I described the other day, uppermost in your mind. For otherwise may you not quite like my descriptions if you remain too attached to people of that world. For in truth, are many who you are now connected to not at all meant to accompany you on your journey.

Find your own calm and balanced center now as you read my missive regarding soul groups. Do not think of these groups as cozy little families, for they are vast thousands upon thousands of energy beings with like-resonance, with like-intent, and with like-compassion for the journey and the process they have embarked on. These characteristics have accompanied each one of us, in our energetic component, for all eternity, and will continue to do so. We have all gotten beyond the confines of Earth.

Am I connected now to family and friends? Yes, I recognize some from past lives, but not as I knew them then, for all are we different now, not connected to human form, or personality, or ego selves as we once were. We are but energy. And the question, though of concern to you now will not be in your evolving future, for your energy body does not need such attachment. In a state of pure energy is there love and appreciation, but most of all connection to all other beings. So no one is special, nor closer to you, nor is there emotional need or desire for such.

So to continue, a soul group is a massive group of energy, but energy of love, compassion, and wholeness, existing in all time, all space, and continually learning, and teaching, and evolving further together. Our collective mission, in my group, is of awakening the inner potential in all of you. You ask if size is a factor? Group size is not necessarily a factor, except as we are energetically intense, and aligned, and focused, so does that matter. Strength of awareness and intent matter, but I don’t conceive of size in perhaps the way you mean. Size is mostly measured energetically. You see?

Do the groups and projects evolve and change, you ask? There is constant change, for that is life, that is energy. Within my soul group has there been constant evolution. I joined this group quite unaware of what I must do, and had to learn a great deal in the beginning to get up to where I am now. I have teachers and I also teach others within the group. My inner “personality,” that once comprised who I was through many life times, has continued to be my strength in this life, and it has been quite an asset. So perhaps that can answer your last question, about whether your career path on Earth is preparing you for what you will do next.

In actuality, and in my most clear voice, I must say that your “career” is not so much the factor, but your evolved self is the greatest factor. Your inner abilities, which you are learning to hone, are your most necessary abilities. These inner aspects of the self may have no connection to the career upon that Earth. For what is it that is fulfilling in that life, truly fulfilling? The inner work! Doing the inner work will lead you to discover your greatest assets. And these inner assets, which you have carried over from one life to the next, are your trademark strengths.

You are all different. You all vibrate at a unique rate. You all reside in unique states of “knowing,” “seeing,” and growth. Yet are you all beings comprised of energy, intent, and the core will to evolve, and that is what you must remain focused on as you do the inner work.

Your soul group connection is pre-destined, but your choices in making the journey to that group are yours alone, and have always been. There are many roads to take, and many choices to make in your journey, and although we await your completion, so do we guide and aid you as you learn what it truly means to become an energetic being and join your awaiting companions.

To become an energetic being first requires detachment; learning to leave the ego behind and evolve to a being who is flowing and able to trust every aspect of the journey; able to make choices that are evolutionary; able to confront all challenges as necessary; and able to truly accept the self as fallible, as lost, as sweetly tender and unaware, so that the connection to original innocence is rediscovered, and from that place of utter knowing of self begin again your journey to connection with your evolutionary self.

You will see that it is quite lovely in this place of loving compassion, but it does require complete detachment from the things of that world, including those you love the most. Whether or not you will meet them again is uncertain, for all must make the evolutionary journey alone. Do you choose to go it alone? That is the question you must all ask your selves. Am I ready to evolve alone, and take my true journey, the inner journey that will lead to my ultimate energy journey? That is the way to discover your future, your connection to your soul group, and your true career.

I hope this has answered your curious mind as it wonders so much about the future. I do continually advise to use your energy now for learning about the self. Then will you be able to answer your own questions, and you will find your connections awaiting you. And it may not be where you now think you will go. For who are you really? That is what you must find out, My Dear Alissa. Who are you?

Today, Debbie asks a question.

Dear Jeanne,
Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance. Your messages have resonated within me from the very beginning, guiding me daily, helping me with the process of recapitulation and enabling me to stay on my path. The greatest difficulty I am having now is accepting a traumatic situation that happened in my childhood. I know I need to wrestle this resistance down, but it seems at times, when I am close to acceptance, the resistance returns again very strong. I have struggled greatly with this on a constant basis. It gets very frustrating. What am I missing here?
Thank you for your continued help.
Debbie

My dearest Debbie, your struggles are part of the plan, part of the process that will being you to wholeness, for without struggle would there be no growth, no evolution, no learning to take into your knowing, allowing for the resonance you feel as you read my messages.

Yes, this is a frustrating process, but it is essential in order to move on in life, with the principles of detachment firmly understood as you work on them daily. Your attachment to resistance may be your biggest threat to growth, and your biggest challenge. That is obvious from the struggles you have engaged in.

But more succinctly put, your issue is not really with the events that have held you so encompassed in resistance, but the awareness of truth that they present to you. This is a most universal aspect of recapitulation. For without the ability to trust the process, will truths revealed not be acceptable. Many choose to stay buried in the past, for it offers its own dark comforts, yet is this but a blind spot. For once released from that darkness, is there but light, and eagerness for life, that is revealed.

Energy awaits. Connection awaits. Growth, and continued learning of truths await; truth of self first; then truth of life upon that Earth; then truth of continued life beyond that Earth. But what have you been missing as you struggle against your strong resistance? You have been missing your self! And I mean this in more ways than one.

You have missed out on understanding and knowing the true potential of the self. As of yet have you not released that self from bondage, so you do not have a clear picture of the potential of the true self. Also have you not allowed the inner self to join you in the process of your recapitulation, but you have stayed focused on only one aspect of the self doing the work that is needed. This is a stumbling block that many encounter as they attempt the process of recapitulation. One or another aspect of the self chooses to go for it, to do the work, while another aspect says, No Way! Now the way to wholeness exists in bringing together the two parts of the self, or perhaps there are three or four parts, and asking, with full knowledge and commitment, for all parts to work together.

Resistance, still, at that notion? Fear? Desire to run? Need to protect? Unable to really withstand the truth, as it may assault your well-devised plan of survival? All of these questions may fit very well a situation of resistance to recapitulation. The first step must be an acceptance of life’s journey. Yes, this is my journey, mine alone, and without judgment must I take it again in order to learn every aspect of truth that lies within my knowing, my body, my emotions, and my deepest feelings. Then must the outer self and the inner self join together in the process of sifting through the file drawers. Those file drawers may be meticulously organized, or they may be in a shambles with no focal point from which to begin, but that does not matter. The two selves (or more, as I have said) must begin a process of detachment from everything, and by this I mean everything, in order to begin a process of truth seeking.

The challenge that a recapitulating individual encounters next is resistance to accepting the truths that arise, for the long-held files of life, as they appear continually, drop in front of the eyes begging to be re-instated as true fact. Yet is detachment the process of total rejection of all old ideas, and even old truths, so that new clean and clear truths may take their place.

A desire for truth must be acceptable, which also requires a desire for change. Are you desiring of change? Are you allowing change to happen? If you are well on the way to recapitulating the entirety of your life, then have you already acquiesced to change. But I suspect that resistance holds another truth: that you have not truly gotten to the bottom of your recapitulation. When resistance appears so does it indicate that a truth is seeking breakthrough.

I cannot stress enough to you, Debbie, and to all My Readers who seek growth and connection, that the most important aspect of this journey is to trust every sign that is presented. Do you suffer resistance? Well My Dears, that is a sign that it is time again to study what it is that you have not accepted about the self.

Allow your inner child to always be present as you recapitulate. For the keys to total truth, innocence, and full recapitulation lie firmly in the grasp of that child. For has not that little one accompanied you on this journey? As I said yesterday, is not that child firmly embedded in who you are? Yet has that child been left behind in many ways, though she or he holds bitter truths, lovely truths and, best of all, the ultimate truth: that you are a being who is on a journey, seeking evolution, and truly able to connect with the world as yet unseen.

For you Debbie, and for all who struggle, do I entice you with this caveat: The world as you have known it does not exist, except to teach you, and to allow you the opportunity to expand your knowledge of what is reality, and what is truth. If that world does not truly exist, except in your inner self, so is it there for learning purposes only. And your challenge is to accept this idea, and learn the lessons of growth by doing your recapitulation, so that every lesson is fully learned, every truth revealed, every aspect of the journey utilized for evolutionary growth, so that all else that is reality may be revealed too. One revelation of truth will lead to another, and each one of you is presented daily with the opportunity to change your reality, by confronting the challenges that are presented.

You are not really missing much of anything, Debbie. Your clarity just needs to be honed, and your focus reassigned to a new reality, especially in light of the energy that is present to assist in this process. Stay focused on your path, as I continually say, but don’t forget to look at how much you have already accomplished, and how much your reality has already changed as a result of the work you are doing. All of You Readers must take some time now to contemplate that. Has your reality changed as you have done your work? Are you not aware now of your journey in a new manner? Do not get stuck in your old place of judgments and heady ideas of old. But stay the path of new truths, new realities, and new ideas revealed to you daily. Stay connected, and stay in tune with that lovely resonance that is you!
