Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us today?

Abide by the energy. Allow it to guide you, so you know how to act, how to respond, and how to remain in detachment, even as it may take off in swirling energetic pulls. From your calm center assess, now, where you, personally, stand in your own life, and your own inner work, before judging what is happening around you. Allow your centeredness to be your firm ground upon which you stand, no matter what may assault you.

I warn against reacting too quickly to anything, as is often the first response. You are no longer in a position to act with such quick and final conciseness that may only result in devastation. Take time to slow down inner turmoil, the old rankling habits that may seek to throw you out of your calmness, and disrupt your good flow that you have been working so hard on.

Abrupt change is in the energetic force right now. It bodes well, if handled properly, but otherwise does it harbor much failure in communications, as well as world peace efforts. Do not become overly attached to the destructive nature of such force, for then do you tip your steady boat, and risk drowning in the surging ocean of discontent. Remain firmly at the helm, feet spread wide and planted, for a long and terrific strain of bad weather. Much now seeks to attach to the anger that travels upon the darkness, yet is it not necessary to engage in it, for in so doing, is there but fueling of it as a result.

As the world around you continues on its devastatingly downward path, what do you choose to do? Do you engage in darkness, and fuel your own anger because it is easier to serve that, than it is to serve your inner spirit, seeking solace and calm? Of course it is much easier to let go of the wheel, and throw yourself overboard, rather than hold on tighter as your knuckles grip the wheel ever harder. But then, you risk drowning in the ever-darkening seas. I suggest that focus on calmness will lead you back to inner strength, and that is what is necessary during times of turmoil.

Do not get swept up in the hurricane that heads now pounding upon the shores, seeking to, indiscriminately, ravage all that lies unprotected. Turn your backs upon it as it sweeps across your bow, and remain upright as you fight to remain calmly centered, your ballast sure and stable. From your inner calm will your direction be shown, and your negotiation of the waters handled with surety.

Yes, there is much energy now upon that earth that seeks change. But what kind of change are you going to allow? It is up to each of you, now upon that earth, to focus on inner calm, and remain calmly centered in focusing on the goodness in all of mankind, or there will be only turmoil ahead. A great shift in consciousness is possible, yet does this require more than a few good souls for it to be fruitful, and firmly established, when there is so much hatred now spewing in angry voices. Turn down the volume of hatred by becoming a voice of calm in your own life, and your own turmoil. Yesterday’s anger may turn against you, or you may turn against it, by answering back, swiftly, with a newer, calmer response, asking for universal compassion and brotherhood, rather than derision and separateness of purpose, and turn the actions toward communion, rather than separateness.

Do not become isolationists. Do not become separatists. Do not become dictators, nor tyrants, any of you. For none of you have yet the right answer upon the worldwide stage. Those who speak loudest, speak wrongly. While those who speak softly have words of true wisdom. Turn the volume down on the shouters of insults, and the defiant screamers, so that the softer voices, the steady ones, speaking calm, peace, and unity of all, may be heard. Turn from individual concerns of property, of wealth, of power, and turn instead to communal concerns of global change, and the very earth you all stand upon. For what will your anger reap, if there is not earth upon which to grow your sustenance? How do you expect to survive if you cannot breathe, eat, or survive the devastations of Mother Nature, who seeks, so loudly, to alert you to your truths?

Will all your wars and disagreements mean anything, if there is no earth to walk upon, to live upon, and to enjoy? Idle hands do not aid in growth, nor does loud speech make for progress. Only busy hands, and calm words of wisdom are now the necessary tools. No weapons will have affect, only tools now. Only tools of knowing, and tools of focused shift, from anger and darkness, to calm and steady hope, may have affect.

Darkness is often predicted, in order to wake up the sleeping souls upon that earth. This is a cyclical occurrence, as many historians will note. But this time, my friends, will the recovery not be as in the past, for far too many things have been disrupted by man in his eagerness for wealth, and far too many upon that earth have been left unprepared for this time of darkness. Yet, is there hope for survival, if a great shift in consciousness, and action, is immediately presented and acted upon. Listen not to the warmongers, and the speakers of dark anger toward others, but listen to the lovers of man and earth, who warn now, greatly, that destruction is happening, even at your very feet, and yet are you drawn to focus on the shouting that fills the air.

Look down at your own little world now, immediately, and draw the proper conclusion. What can I do, now, today, to change my part of the world? Even the simplest act today, and then another tomorrow, will have worldwide effect, if all participate. If no more shouting is filling the air, then the energy of anger will die down, for it will not be fueled by your anger, or yours, or yours, or any of you who seek peace. Your energy, turned compassionately outward in gentle and loving regard for all, as one, will have impact, and then your attention to the waste at your feet will have further impact. At no other time in the history of man, has this been more apparent. There has been no other time quite like this, and the energy, now upon that earth, can either have fatal consequences, if allowed to proceed on the current course of destructive anger, or it can turn swiftly, with conscious shift, into healing, accepting, energy of change that will benefit all.

It’s really up to all of you. Those of us, who offer guidance and aid, can only alert you to the fact that your life, and the life of the earth, now, is totally up to you who now reside there. This is your lifetime upon that earth. Are you choosing to have impact on your own life and, in turn, the world at large? It is possible, you know, supremely possible, to impact the current trend with a shift in consciousness. Choose your battles. Choose your tools. Choose your vessel. Choose your stance. Choose your energetic state. It’s up to you. Calm, steady change, away from anger and discord, will lead to, not only salvation, but evolution. Okay?

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

What seems to be the problem? Why the hesitation? Don’t you trust your journey? Don’t you see that every step is meaningful and right? Why the pause, why the disturbance of withdrawal, of backpedaling, and of inertia? Don’t you know, by your intuition, your deepest inner resonance that your path is correct? Are you being pulled by old habits, or merely stopping in your tracks out of a feeling of lost self? Reconnect your synapses now, so that all functions smoothly and with unrequested continuation, simply because it is right.

Catch up to your soul again, to your seeking self, or it may leave you behind, too far behind, as it goes seeking alone, and that, my friends, means that you will lose contact again, lose touch with your inner you, and lose touch with your path that is so right for you.

Follow your resonance. Seek resonant energy every step of the way, even as you pause and ask, where am I? Regain your balance, calm your outer you, and allow your inner you to speak up again, so that you clearly hear the words of truth telling you, “yes, you are on the right path, trust me, trust the journey, trust what you are given, and trust the path that is being pointed out to you. Oh yes, this is so right.” Abide by the rules of your own inner truth. That is where you will regain your balanced perspective, and reconnect to your true voice of calm and reason as you make your journey through life. You may have to dig a little deeper at times, thwarting outside distractions and disturbances, but get used to that process, for it never fully leaves your nearness, though you will, over time, notice it less and less as it has no meaning after a while. Stay the path of your own truth, and use your inner focus now to guide you. This is good.

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have some guidance for us all today?

In the end, is life but a task that must be completed in order for graduation to the next phase. How are you choosing to live your life? That is the question you must ask yourself. Are you living with full awareness that you are under strict guidelines that must be adhered to in order to reach heaven? Or, are you aware that there are only guidelines that must be followed synchronistically, and as you learn? There are many schools of thought on how to live life. How are you choosing? And what purpose do you have in making the choice you make? Do you desire something that is ego bound and fairly impossible to maintain as life presents you with much that needs attending to along the way? Or do you go with the flow, knowing, yet not certain, that life needs to be lived as it is presented?

Live your life to the fullest completion. Consider yourself as the final life in your soul’s journey, and seek the means of wholeness, now, so that your own mission may now be revealed. All have a greater mission, beyond that earthly domain, a mission in infinity, as I have now with you. There are many missions and many groups attending to that which needs correcting. Find your true purpose in that life, seek completion, and in so doing will your future life be mapped out and ready for your enjoyment. Life is truly fascinating isn’t it? Watch the energy so you don’t get caught. Stay focused on your path and your growth. For that is enough, but always question, or you will not pass your tests!

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

What has transpired since yesterday? Do you contemplate my words, or do you doubt both me and the road you are being shown? I hold no attachments to the ways of earth, neither desire nor self-importance, yet do I urge all to advance and become aware that much is offered that you cannot touch, or see, or hear. Where is your sense of adventure, and your sense of wanting a meaningful life? If I tell you about my own life, do I do you a disservice? Or do you take it in as meaningful information, as it is meant to be, to guide you on your journey? I offer insight and knowledge, yet do I know that many continue to doubt, preferring the reality of the world around them, the physical, visible, tangible world. Yet is there another world right next to you, available if you only turn and point your compass, with open innocence and true desire for spirit connection.

This other world is the one I speak of, and offer secrets of. This other world that is so near, yet so far, do I encourage you to seek over all other worlds, even as you must solidly live in that world, your own reality. Seek a blending now, a balancing of your reality and the insights I offer. Mix your spices, a little salt with the pepper, and blend together your wondrous yearnings with your cold reality. Warm it all up and find a delicious combination of superb flavors that will aid you on your journey.

Why not live a little differently now? Put your fears aside and go for embracing some new ideas of your world, combined with what I offer. Mix a stew, an aromatic dish of pleasing tastes of both worlds, perfectly seasoned, and heated to perfection. You won’t be disappointed. Life is meant to be tasted and experienced on all levels. What are you waiting for? Bring your spoon to the table, dip it into the pot of delicious stew, and explore the new tastes upon your tongue. You won’t be disappointed, either in your own experiences, or in what I offer to guide you along. Sometimes, you just need to know where to look, and where to step next, and which pot of stew is the most tasty. Well, that’s all I offer, a little direction, a little insight, and a mighty tasty stew if you decide to put your spoon into it.

Do not let a day of doubt overshadow your enjoyment of all that life offers. Do not become bogged down in details that you consider too far-fetched. Everyone has lived and lived again, that should not be in question. But what do you do with such knowledge? Have you learned your lives’ lessons, or do you continually repeat the same mistakes? I offer a spicy blend of new ideas and opportunities to move now, to kick start your evolutionary journey anew, with a new blend of tantalizing ideas and good energy boosters. Enjoy the challenge. Don’t be afraid, it’s all good. You’ll see!

Dear Jeanne,
We have a follow up question today regarding your previous message about resolving your abandonment issue. What was your previous life’s issue that you had an abandonment issue to deal with in your life as Jeanne Marie Ketchel? Who were you in the life before that, and why did you have to come back, to reincarnate, with the issue of abandonment to resolve? It might be helpful for us to understand how past lives affect us, and how resolution of our deepest issues is such an important factor in our present life. Can you comment on this?

First, be aware that resolution of that life is most important, before all other lives can be resolved. By this I mean, living in the present, with full awareness of the issues of that life now that affect how you function, and how you relate. Recapitulation, as I have spoken of many times, is a necessary practice in order to live a life of awareness. Discover your present life, who you are, why you do what you do, and seek the utter and blatant truths of the self now before you attempt any past life recall. That is the first step in resolution of life’s issues. Once you are truly aware of the present self, then can you be ready to tackle the issues of evolution.

My own issue of abandonment was related not only to my present life, but to several past lives as well. I was not fully cognizant of this until much later, but it became my greatest challenge when I realized that it was more deeply embedded in the complicated nature of who I was, not only as Jeanne Marie Ketchel, but as the conglomerate of lives that make up my personal lifetimes, my soul group. I lived many lives with that issue, seeking resolution in many fashions.

Previous to entering life as Jeanne Marie Ketchel, did I live a life of prostitution on the streets of Italy, less concerned with evolutionary growth, at the time, than I was in mere survival, but that was not to be resolved satisfactorily, as I died a violent death, unable to contain my own needs, and unavailable for any others. I left behind five children, abandoned them, not in death, but even before that, as I struggled to feed them, and to maintain a life that was one of great struggle. In spite of that tremendous struggle, did I also find time to question my existence, and to resolve, that in the future, would I return to care for those children, as soon as possible. But in that lifetime, was there a great war, and great devastation of the town of Palermo, where I resided. I was lost in a great battle, buried under rubble, and my children lost their way from there, resorting to whatever life offered.

So, I turned my back on them, not only in dying, but in my inability to function as a mother, a mother who could not fashion herself into what was needed, to protect and allow her children to grow to adulthood with conscious caring and guidance. My life, then, was covered in webs of debauchery, as it was often called, and I was ostracized and lived a life on the outskirts of society. In my own defense, did I turn my back and elect that life in defiance of the rituals, and the conventions of the day. But, it left me with much to debate and deal with, even as I chose to live as physically free as possible.

In an earlier life, I had been called a practitioner of witchcraft, and carried always within me the ability to go against the grain of society and propriety, in order to do what I knew I needed to do to survive, but also to live properly the life I was given.

All lives are connected with one true strand of truth, and that knowledge lies deeply embedded inside all of you. My own truth, my own life strand was related to my firm desire, at all costs, to do what was right. It is the thread that has sewn my lives together, and the thread that continues to guide me to always seek truth, with boldness, and with honesty. I rarely, in any of my lives, worried about myself. I lived each life fully, questing and questioning, a firm believer in the necessity of everything in a life as being meaningful and important. But, I did not allow even the most dire of circumstances to get in the way of truth.

In my life in Palermo, did I snub the rituals of false society because they did not suit that strong thread that connected me to my inner truth, the truth of my soul, my lives woven together, with all-knowing ready to reveal itself. It was not until I returned as Jeanne Marie Ketchel that I understood, most fully, the necessity of recapitulation in present existence. It became very clear to me that I had issues of that life that would interfere in my evolutionary process if I did not resolve them.

Cancer became my ticket to recapitulation and, ultimately, evolutionary growth. It pushed me to experience a life to the fullest, in spite of the time factor, and in spite of the energy factor. As my Chuck will remind you, I had only enough energy to do certain things. My ability to sleep was, above all, one of my greatest, falling easily into drowsy, regenerating slumber. It was necessary, all that sleeping, because it was the only way to recharge. The energy I did have went totally to battling cancer in the end, but not in the way you might think. I used the energy to seek evolutionary healing, not only by seeking out ancient methods, close to my own knowing of herbal and homeopathic remedies, grown from the earth that provides everything for life to be sustainable, but also the ultimate process of healing through recapitulation of my previous life.

When I resolved the issue with the woman who had been my birth mother, did I resolve many issues and many lives, hers and mine. And though I once again died and left children behind in my life as Jeanne Marie Ketchel, did I not abandon them to the fates of dire circumstances, and a motherless existence. I left them fully cognizant of the importance of living life fully, with knowledge of evolution, and the magic in life, as being available and ready, for the asking. The irony of that life completed is that I did not, in the end, abandon anyone. In my completion of earth lives, as I completed the life of Jeanne Marie Ketchel, did I evolve into total life, the completion of my soul group, my thread of lives finally, neatly sewn together, and now am I totally available, in wholeness, to be of guidance to others. This my own children know, of my availability, though they struggle with their own present lives, as all must do.

Resolution of present self first, then resolution of past lives in order to fully evolve and grow into completion. I cannot stress this enough to those of you seeking self-awareness. First, must you be totally present, and aware, and unafraid to live that life fully. Only then are you prepared, truthfully, to understand any previous existence. There must be complete and open acknowledgement of the truths of the self now, acceptable in all forms, resolved, all issues of regret, of deceit, of propriety, of trust, of reason for living just that life, before any other life will be clearly viewed and understood. You are all given enough time to do this. Even up to the last second of life upon that earth are you given the opportunity to accept, totally, the truth of the self, to receive the truth of the self, accept it fully, and move on. It does not require anyone else, except you. Your total acceptance of you, as you are, as you have lived, and as you choose to continue to live are necessary, by you. Once you clearly accept, with total understanding, then are you prepared to proceed. Total understanding is absolutely necessary.

I do not suggest that a blanket statement of acceptance will resolve anything. You must recapitulate constantly in order to fully understand who you are, accepting the deepest truths, and understanding your life as a journey that has an end, the end being moving on to the next step, which is evolutionary growth. That, my friends, is where that thread of lives is leading, stitching together all of your lives, all of your experiences, neatly tying up the bundle that is your evolutionary journey, so that you can take all those truths and use them to continue growing into wholeness, and guide others to do the same. That is true evolution.

Do not get stuck in that world. Focus on where that world is seeking to lead you. What is your own strong thread? Where is your strength, your core strength? Understand that, even as, beside that strength, you seek to resolve your core issue of resolution in that lifetime. What is that issue? Weave those strands together; use them together to discover who you are, why you are there, and where you are going. I did it, and if I could finally do it, then believe me, anyone can do it, if they put their attention there, deciding that evolution of the spirit self is all that matters. And you don’t need cancer, or anything else devastating, to help you focus on that. You can just decide that life is only about spirit evolution, and when viewed from that perspective, as a whole picture, will you have access to your present self and, eventually, your past selves. All will be revealed if you are focused, aware, seeking clarity, and resolved to do the work of recapitulation. Now, that is a lot to contemplate for today! Good enough for now. I leave you with a lot to ponder, but please do so with your focus always forward, even as you go into your past, keep your feet moving forward. Good luck!
