Pat asks a question today.

Dear Jeanne,
I have recently experienced the vibratory states mentioned in an earlier question and have now discovered that I can go out of my body, am reading books on the subject, and experimenting. Can you comment on how best to use these states to resolve persistent questions recurring in this life, in order to further our soul’s evolution?
Thank you,
Pat

My Dear Pat, such exploration and study as you challenge your self with is of utmost importance as you prepare your soul’s continued journey. As you know, to evolve beyond the confines of that Earth plane and the physical body, must you understand the importance of the energy body as it is presented to you during that life. Although many do not have a concept of it, so is it the inner you, who emerges when you most need its help, and during dreaming as well. As you experience your self during waking time may achieving a sense of this aspect of the self remain unattainable. But I can guarantee that all of you dream and have had experiences of your energy self during this nightly state.

Perhaps as children was it a much more common occurrence, but that does not mean it must remain lost in childhood. For as children do you accept what occurs, with little question, and your ability to have experiences is thus far greater, and the resulting experience quite phenomenal. But as you age and develop a sense of place in the world, do you take on a lot of other stuff that covers, conceals your openness to accept this innate ability to go out of your body.

It is a natural phenomenon, though many choose to judge it as mere fantasy. But anyone who has experienced it knows the truth of it, and once beyond the first concerns of bodily sensation realizes that it can be quite a tool. This is what you have determined and this is a very good question regarding your life now and that very free state of body vibration that allows for exploration in other lands.

Do not look on it just as a dream state. Do not look on it as simply going to sleep, or having dreams, for it is much more than that. In fact, as you enter this energetic state of being, so do you have the ability to train your self to be aware of this state of being and yes, actually use it to solve issues and questions that arise in your normal body state of being.

As Jeanne Marie Ketchel did I utilize this state, as I read my favorite author on the subject.* His guidance was most consequential in my development and understanding of the energy body. As you practice, you discover that this aspect of the self IS you. It is the whole of you, completely encompassed in energy, without the confines of the body. And from this place are you capable of doing anything that you determine.

So my advice to you Pat, as you do this work using your vibratory energy self, is to set up your agenda before you sleep. Write out your issues, your questions, your problems, and allow your attention to focus on one aspect at a time. Remove your judgments, and allow your self to remain open to possibility. In this manner of writing out your questions ahead of time, do you plant in your subconscious the issue most pertinent. Allow your self to then fall asleep with this issue uppermost in your thoughts, and remain fully open to allowing your self to have the experience of vibration.

Once you get beyond this state, which may at first shock you, so will you emerge on the other side of body awareness to spirit awareness. But it is important that you maintain alertness in this state, asking for help, for clarity, for answers. But you must remember that the answers may not come as you expect. You may receive guidance in a most peculiar form, an inquisitive form, and you may have to decipher the meaning of your dream/energy state experiences in a manner differently from your normal interpretation of life.

Dream awareness is essential. You may need to constantly wake up your energy self during your explorations. For you are going through veils that will appear over and over again, for they exist all around, no matter what world you enter. So clarity of vision will aid you always. Once you have gotten your clarity, then is it up to you to learn how to relate your experiences in dreaming to what is going on in your life.

This is the key, to always relate your dream awareness to you and your present life situation. Even if you meet others in your dreams, so are they meant to aid and abet you on your adventures. They may represent aspects of the self that you are totally unaware of in your normal every day state. Do not dismiss them as mere figments of imagination, for if they appear to you so are they meaningful beings, bringing insight, messages, and explanations that will aid you.

Often I felt I did not receive answers, especially as I asked about what to do to heal from cancer. But I know now I did get the answers I sought, though they were not what I wanted to hear, nor were they always as clear as I would have liked. I propose that the best method to achieve your goal of working on the issues of the self in dreaming, is to enter without judgments, allowing the self to begin the questing, the writing process totally free, detached, and open to the possibility that everything is possible. Remain also alert to the fact that gifts are constantly available, that whoever you meet, wherever you go, whatever you experience is meant to teach you.

Bring back what you learn into your life, not with fear, not with disgust, not with puzzlement, but allow it to be truth revealed, for that is what it is. Do not reattach to judgments of the self, or judgments you have learned over your lifetime, as you attempt to gain clarity of your experiences. At all times suspend judgment, and utilize your innocence to guide you. Use your inner spirit child, who so bravely allowed that experience to be undertaken, to aid you in the further exploration of the gift of knowledge, insight, and confrontation with aspects of the self that will appear in your dream states. Turn all aspects of the dream toward the self, as if looking in a mirror. Look into that dream mirror with purity of truth, and honesty of the self as your guides.

These aspects of the self: remaining nonjudgmental, allowing your innocence to be active, pushing aside doubt, fear, and what you may consider as proper dreaming, are helpful in your experimentation. Remain always aware that every encounter and aspect of the out of body experience belongs to you. So accept it, own it, and determine what it means with that in mind. For everything in your life, whether awake and in your body, or asleep and in your energy body, is meant to guide you and lead you on your journey.

Continue your explorations in your energy body. Do not get frustrated or afraid, but be patient with the self. You may discover that sometimes you are very clear sighted, and other times not so. But eventually will you discover that you can do it anytime, at will, awake or asleep, simply because you have trained your outer body to slumber down to a nice state of trance while you go off adventuring. And that is lots of fun. So don’t forget to have fun too!

*NOTE: Jeanne’s favorite author on the subject of out of body exploration is William Buhlman, and the book she refers to is called, Explorations Beyond the Body.

Today a question is asked by a “Curious” Reader.

Dear Jeanne,
I’m very curious about the huge CERN particle accelerator that will finally be powered up in May after many years of engineering and construction in Switzerland. Various reports about this “underground nuclear cathedral,” as I’ve heard it called, are that it is expected to recreate the moments immediately following “the big bang,” it will open “many small black holes” in our atmosphere, and scientists hope it will reveal “the God Particle.” Do you have any insights as to the impact the activation of CERN will have on our energetic environment? Is CERN a “good thing,” i.e. is it possible it will accelerate our awakening, as some think? Or are we messing with the fabric of creation?

Is CERN anything to be conCERNed about?

Many thanks for any light you can shed,
Curious

My Dearest Curious Reader, I do not think that man will discover the “God Particle” by attempting to recreate “the big bang.” For God does not lie waiting buried in a particle of some foreign outer source, but the God Particle lies only within each being upon that Earth. I do like the term though, for particle denotes a tiny speck, and that is the seed within each of you that awaits discovery. It lies dormant, and such a thing as a grand awakening or a constant nurturing will stir it awake or allow it to grow.

I must also say that the scientific endeavors upon that Earth spent upon such delving is time wasted. Far better for the inventors, innovators, and brilliant scientific minds to spend their time and energy looking for solutions to mankind’s crises of environmental proportions that currently exists and has existed for centuries. To enter the Earth with such a proposal does not honor and protect that grand mother that is there to provide for all who reside upon her pleasant plains.

Far better would it be to experiment with what the Earth holds for sustaining life upon that planet, for that is only the place of beginning. Only when man accepts that idea, that it is merely a learning ground, will there be meaning in searching for answers to existence. Better to spend the time, money, and talent on discovering the veils, the hidden worlds, and the explorations of the energy body, than investigate as described, with the possibility of ruining many of Earth’s underground reserves in the event of catastrophe.

For all concerned, as you are My Dear Reader, do I advocate turning from such endeavors, and spending time and energy exploring what is truly hidden from your eyes and your knowledge, yet is so readily available within the self. The environmental groups have great concerns regarding this project you speak of, for it is an invasion of Mother Earth’s protective layers, and invites much dispute as it pertains to the impact it may have as it cranks up, spews out, and releases its gases. For no such environment could be instituted without need for cleansing and releasing of toxic substances. And where do you think such things will go? Deeper into the Earth, with unsafe results for the environment of such an underground facility, as well as the world above it. Over time will such a plant, planted deep within the Earth, suffer greatly for its attempts at discovering the mysteries of this world. In the end will this world’s mysteries impact it beyond repair. But until that time, will it attempt to become a center of scientific thought and process. Attempting not to prove the existence of God, but to disprove it; and not to prove the ideas of those in the ethereal know, but to disprove that as well. The only proof will be in that which they already have determined is not so.

True adventurers, true scientists do not need such elaborate schemes in order to understand energy and that, My Dear, is really what this CERN is about. For the understanding of energy, pure energy, as vibrational awareness in everything, constantly in motion, and constantly alive, viable, and perfectly felt by the human form under many varied circumstances, is a concept as yet too foreign for the vast bulk of scientific communities.

Your conCERN is well placed. But I do not propose that you spend too much time in worry or frustration about such a project, for it will and must run its course. At a later date will new ideas be proposed and tried out, experiments attempted, ideas disproved in the sacred environment of this “cathedral,” until it will no longer open its doors to true searches for the questions most people ask.

Most people want to know why? Why are we here? Why are we given this planet to live upon, and not some other? Why are we so fixated on our bodies? Why do we accept, so easily, the discourse of others? Why do we allow our spirits to be led astray, far from the inner true self? Why are we still so curious about life and what comes next when there are so many scientists giving us answers all the time? Do those scientists really provide us with answers to our questions?

Go into your own sacred cathedrals, My Readers. Look for your own seed particle, your God inside you. Who are you? Why are you there now, in this moment? Why are you reading these messages? Why are you so curious about what I have to offer? Do you think a grand scientist would read these words in quite the same way? Well, let me tell you, there are plenty of people waking up to the mysteries I speak of, even plenty of scientific minds. But I must say, I think they are concerned they will be dismissed as whacky scientists, not like true scientists who seek to disprove theories. The new scientist, even the one inside each of you, seeks to accept what he cannot deny, and that is experience of the concepts I speak of. And experience, experience not experiments, actually having experience of these ideas I present, is the only way to prove that you are energy.

Proceed now in your life having accepted my version of science, that everything is energy, and you will allow your self to be open to experiments that lead you to the kind of awareness that those scientific minds attempting to re-create long ago actions will never experience if they don’t begin to learn about themselves, what lies inside, and what the human body holds within, the energy body and all that it offers. The only cathedral worth exploring in is the one you reside in 24/7, your vehicle through life, comprised of every atom and seed of knowledge, wisdom, and awareness that you will ever need.

Thank you for this most interesting question. I am sorry to say that I do not trust this project on any level, except that it may open the door for many to begin thinking about what it means, this grand awakening that is so prevalently spoken of all over the globe, and maybe I’d better find out what it means. Now that would be a fine result to conclude from such an energetic attempt to discover something new. Because you already know, deep inside you, the answers to anything those scientific masters could ever ask. Just keep in mind that you are energy, everything is energy, and all energy is interconnected. Don’t separate anything, but instead piece it together, put it all together as a puzzle is pieced together. You’ll find your way, first to your self, and then to understanding everything around you.

Go exploring, My Friends. Everything awaits your discovery, and you don’t have to go anywhere or spend a penny to do it. It’s all inside you!

Today a question is asked by an anonymous reader.

Dear Jeanne,
Can you speak to us about the conditions in America? Gas and fuel prices are out of control and everything else is affected. Corporate greed, capitalistic greed has taken over, and there is such a negative overtone to the current political scene that everything feels almost hopeless. Our country isn’t doing enough on the environmental front either because innovation doesn’t necessarily fill the pockets of the rich, but as a result it feels like everything is going downhill, and deteriorating. Is there light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak? Or will this time of doom and gloom be the end of us as a civilization?

My Dear Readers and Journeyers, I have predicted in the past the demise of life as you know it, and now you see and feel the crumblings of a structure that is no longer viable, nor has it been for a long time. When I speak of learning love, compassion, and the appreciation of all life upon that planet, so do I include all aspects of humanity in that phase of learning. The United States has been in the forefront on many levels, but underneath lies the wiley monster of insatiable greed, seeking to gather the wealth that will eventually topple the tower it has constructed to store it in.

The tower is not a physical structure, but a structure within the framework of desire. Desire is destructive, and that is to be the culminating factor in the future of that great wide country that has so much to offer still. Is there a place of refuge from such desire? Well, the only place to go is innerly, to the place of inner calm, inner knowing, and act from there.

The great machinery that runs that country does so at great cost. The place of now is over-consumption in all walks of life, simply because it is available and has been easily marketed, and quickly lapped up. But there is no need for most of what Americans consider important. The marketing and easy availability of everything has created a country weak in infrastructure that is viable and practical, so there is too much reliance on being self-sufficient. But even that has not created true self-sufficiency, but an entitled reliance upon the ideas and products so readily available and offered.

Now as things shift, and negative ire arises, is there an opportunity to reduce the enormity of outward reaching, and expectations that the government will take care of everything, to the opportunity to wake up and become aware citizens of the world. Too long isolated, has that country been allowed to grow far beyond necessity, practicality, and propriety.

The rest of the world has watched in awe, but that awe has sunk to a level of shame for the countrymen of America. It is beginning to be noticed that little attempt is being made to participate in worldwide change, worldwide concepts of viable, sustainable living.

It is time for America to pull inward, to recreate smaller cities and towns, to pull back all that has gone outward, and return the skills and crafts to the people who desire to be true citizens of the world. Each and every American must see themselves as part of the bigger picture, and that picture is indeed equally bleak. But that does not mean throw in the towel, or give up because there is no correction to be made. Of course there is opportunity for correction, but it may not be what the consumer in all of you wants, but it is what the inner knowing spirit in all of you truly knows is right.

Attempt now change in your own lives, to shift from the unaware, unknowing style of consumer to the alert, clearly cognizant being you truly are. Inside all of you resides the one who knows, and that aspect of the self must emerge now, and stop accepting, and begin demanding true change.

Do not be afraid of change, for it will drive a hard bargain. Yet will it be a necessary force, as “the times they are a-changin’.” Are you prepared to simply sit in your seat, as the vehicle you are in is destroyed? Or will you stand up, and fight to get out? The fighters, the ones who are alert, clear thinking individuals will survive the great destruction that is happening all around you, through one dismantling of life as you know it after another.

Do your part by asking for and demanding change. This is not a joke, nor is it up to the government, for the government will not change unless you make it do so. The time is now. Shift from viewing it as a negative time, and see it as a positive time of great sweeping change. And then participate in it. Get out of your darkness and accept the fact that if you want light, you might have to go create it in a new manner, because when you go to turn on the switch you may not like what happens.

This is a time of opportunity for great inventions and innovations to emerge and become the proper means of change and growth. Be a part of the success of shift and change on a worldwide level by demanding first that your own environment change, your country change, and become aware of the truth of every action being proposed and taken. Lift the dark veils; don’t be afraid to accept that things are definitely being done wrong. And then look for clarity of thought, right action, and truth in every deed.

Good Luck, you Evolutionary Beings. Your enlightenment may aid you if you keep in mind the intent of evolution on this spiritual level. Seek inner change, and you will discover the means to outer change that may affect the way all beings perceive life. Spread the word of evolutionary growth, and keep that in mind as you figure out the most proper way to proceed upon the Earth, and how to get out of the muddle now perpetrated upon that planet. And don’t think your actions don’t count; of course they do! Be good Citizens of the World now, but be good Evolutionary Beings as well. That is how change can have the greatest affect.
