Dear Jeanne,
What would you like to discuss today?

I would like to bring the discussion back, once again, to the interconnectedness of all things, for life upon that earth does, energetically, require an understanding of this. Life requires awareness of this interconnectedness in order for energy exchange, and growth, to have impact. Each of you is responsible for utilizing your own energy to the best of your abilities, and to gain in understanding that you are not only chosen to participate in this time frame, but also expected to learn how to expand your energetic concerns beyond the self.

As you know, I do authorize much self-study, but this must be in the form of recapitulation, with the intent to grow, and not self-study that keeps you bound to old ideas, and to self-regrets, and negative places. Self-study must include looking outward for connection with other energies that are compatible with your own, both on the personal, nitty-gritty level of life upon that Earth, as well as seeking guidance and connection outside of that so real environment you call life.

In so doing, by looking beyond the self in this manner, but still remaining true to your own energetic configuration, do you begin to connect with all other energies. By gaining an understanding of how you, individually, do connect with your spirit guides, or simply with your awareness of all that is being presented to you on a daily basis, so do you begin to gain awareness of all energies and the interconnectedness of all things.

Do you see people beginning to understand this and explore other energetic possibilities, or do you think it has not really been understood?

There is great enthusiasm for this idea of interconnectedness, and there is great desire for it as well, yet do people forget to slow down and look for it in their own lives. The energy now upon that Earth is an energy of bigness, of over-consumption, and of greed, and this has become the norm. But understanding interconnectedness does not come in big ways. It comes first in small rivulets, in tiny filaments, in strings of suggestion and awareness that find resonance, and eventually those tiny waves of energetic intent grow into a whole network of awareness that is far greater in content than any one big explosion of awareness ever could be. A large energetic blip soon disappears from awareness, while small daily blips build, both in intent and also in creating knowing and certainty.

So, we have not quite “gotten” it yet?

Not yet, but do not become concerned with that insight on my part, but instead stay focused on the awarenesses in your own life in order to build your clarity. Read the signs that arrive for their greater meaning in your life; and do not, above all, dismiss them, for their content holds up until the next sign appears. Do not forget what was recently shown, but carry it with you, and take it out, and examine it beside the next sign, and see where those lead you next.

By understanding the interconnectedness in your own life, by looking for your signs that seek to guide you, will you gain an understanding of how all things are connected, and how all things seek to guide you in a new direction. Understanding of the greater connectedness of all this is then but the next step. Start with the small signs in your own life. Then begin to see how your own life is connected with all else.

You are there for a reason, a purpose, and this you are seeking clarity on, but it is connected with all else, and that you must understand fully in order to truly know your reason for being. To seek meaningfulness in life requires an awareness of the interconnectedness of all things, and all energies. Look for your own signs that come to guide you, and seek meaning in everything in order to gain clarity of the self, and the true place you are being asked to inhabit upon that Earth.

Resolve today to become an understudy of the signs that appear outside of you, and study your own resonance and understanding of them related to your journey and what you are being shown about the interconnectedness of all energies. You will soon find that you are not alone in your endeavors, for many know that it is now the only way to go. Life upon that Earth is changing, greatly. Don’t you see the signs? Don’t you understand that everything is leading you to discover who you truly are? And then are you also being asked to look outside of your self, to the greater energetic network that interconnects you with all energies. Pretty interesting, huh?

Dear Jeanne,
What can we expect this week, energy-wise, and what lessons should we be learning today?

Do not focus so much on the lessons, but keep your focus forward on your gathering journey. In this manner will your lessons be assimilated and utilized immediately, even as each day is the energy available to be utilized.

Can you explain that further?

As always, is the journey and how you participate in it of utmost importance. The lessons you learn daily become part of your practice in life’s participation as you bump up against them and discover what they mean. But do not simply go looking for lessons. In doing that would you miss the other important aspects of your journey. Allow your lessons to come to you, but accept them as necessary and immediately important for progress and you will discover what I mean when I speak of assimilating your lessons into life.

A person who is always studying and looking for the lessons may miss the ones that are most important. A studious, distracted lesson-seeker may in fact slow down his journey as he forgets to look all around him for the lessons being offered. Not all lessons are in books. Not all lessons have yet been discovered. Though it is practical to go looking for the wisdom of others, so is it equally practical to allow for experience to present you with you own greatest lessons. For as you learn and study do you gather knowledge of the experiences of others, but how is that significant if you do not participate in life by having your own experiences?

This energy now upon that earth, this energy of change, does ask for participation on a new level, a level of acceptance that has not, as yet, become the norm. Acceptance of experience alone, based on your own inner knowing and clarity, is being presented now as a new manner of learning. This learning by experience involves letting go of all the old rules, of dismantling many of your old ideas of what is possible, and of opening now to the flow of energy that does seek to guide and to enhance your life upon that earth.

Open up to the lessons being presented to you in your own life in a different manner. Take your heads out of those books for a while now, and allow for a total envelopment of inner spirit in experience of the energy of now. Allow your self to have an experience of pure energy today, and you will begin to open the doors to a new way of learning that requires energetic participation. Stop looking so hard for it, and just experience it. The energy of experience is all around you. You just need to begin noticing it, and finding your own inner response to it.

Let go a little today, just a little, so you are able to taste the energy of change, and see where it asks you to go. You might be surprised by what you learn. But remember, it will be your own experiential lesson, and please, trust it for what it teaches. For it seeks only to open new doors to energetic possibilities, so that you may grow and evolve during this time of great change.

Dear Jeanne,
It’s Friday again. Do you have a message for humanity as we go into a new weekend and a new month?

Walls are all around you, whether they are ancient and crumbling; or newly built, sheer and strong, of impermeable modern material. But so must you begin to not only notice them, but discover what they mean in your life. Who has constructed those walls, and what do they mean for your evolutionary growth? Have you been stymied by low stone walls that you continue to walk beside, and see them as great barriers, when it is possible to simply step over them now, simply because it is time to choose to leave them behind? Are your walls sheer, slippery slopes that appear impossible to scale? Do you not notice that there is a way around them? Why are you trying so hard to climb those walls, when in fact they do not truly exist, as you perceive them?

Sit down a minute beside your wall and take in all that lies around you. Take in a bigger picture of where you now find yourself, and see that wall as part of the scenery. Does it really have anything to do with you anymore? Is it time now to branch off on a new path, where no walls appear to guide you and hold you to your straight and narrow way? Is your wall a tether; or is it a blockage to your growth in some other manner? Look around you now more often when you feel stuck or complacent, when you find your self bored with your life, or confronted by the same dilemmas over and over again. Are you traveling beside the same wall? Is it necessary to do so? Why? What does that wall offer you?

Likewise, if you walk your path, steadily going forward, with awareness, and suddenly a huge wall rises up before you, and towers over you, threatening your very existence, what are you to make of that? Do not cower beneath it, or attempt to crash through it, but contemplate its deeper meaning from your perspective as an evolutionary being. What does such a wall pose to you at this moment in your life? And why are you being asked to stop and contemplate this wall? A wall may not be a blockage, but instead a cliff to leap off into new territory from. A wall may in fact be a starting point, if only you turn around and utilize it as such.

Walls are like packages, gifts from your guides. Are your walls familiar old friends, urging you along your rightful path? Or are they ancient ruins that it is time to branch off from? Or are they new challenges of a slick and modern world, that need contemplation and new interpretation, as your journey presents you with the opportunity to turn in a new direction, or suddenly shift your perspective, and offers relief, release, and great potential?

Walls, packages, challenges, disputes, are all the opportunity to enact change in your life. Do you choose change and growth? See what happens as a new phase is entered now, energetically speaking. Are you ready to flow with yet another new opportunity? Are you ready to embrace the changes being presented to you in your life? Are you ready to dismantle the walls that block you, or climb them, or walk away from them? Or don’t you see; you can simply walk around them? For that is often an option that is not noticed if the wall appears too high, yet is it not quite as wide and imposing as it appears at first. Find the walls in your life, and determine what they mean as we now enter a new energetic time of influence and confluence, for harmony and growth, if you so choose to peak around your corners and your walls, and see something different now.

Good luck! I hope you all embrace and enjoy your challenges, taking them on with energy, and the support that is readily available. Do not just sit down by your wall and mope, but instead really look around you, and judge your options for their growth potential. And then determine your next move, based on knowing that life is an adventure, and you will get nowhere fast if you remain sitting upon a mossy stone for too long while the energy stirs and invites you to partake in the adventure of it all. Oh, and don’t forget to have some fun while you are at it!

Dear Jeanne,
What can you tell us about today’s energy?

Have you noticed a sameness, a lull, while at the same time energetic confrontation on all fronts? While there is lull is there also energetic potential to sneak in and take over because of alertness blockages. Keep your awareness honed now, for lately is there the tendency to decide upon lesser paths on a daily basis. Keep eyes forward now, and await the big bang, the big bump in the path ahead. Soon will this lull be shaken out of its slumber.

As I speak of the energy all around you that now has influenced, so must I entice you to consider your own personal energy, for that is what must guide and fuel you. Remain in awareness of the Self, the Self as motivator, instigator, culprit, and prosecutor. Do not abandon the Self to the outer energy, nor the inner energy, but maintain a firm balance so that neither the lull takes over nor the inner captors. For in both cases will your awareness and your progress suffer.

Allow today, for awareness of all you have learned to sink in. Study your truths, your place in the evolutionary worlds of both that life on Earth and the worlds that await. Continually regain your footing if you stumble on your inner or your outer path. Do not fall into old regrets or become immersed in self-pity for your troubled life or your difficult path. Return always to balance, even as you are greatly challenged, and even as you open your gifts that are daily presented. If your gifts are not what you want, so are they what you need. And this is why you must maintain your steady balance, and keep your awareness, so that you may receive your gifts with plain acceptance of them, and occupy your life now more fully with taking on your journey in a most satisfyingly evolutionary way.

Stay focused, calm, balanced; and await the energetic twist that is to come. Soon will a new shift arise. These opportunities for growth must you look forward to with enthusiasm, not fear, for they are opportunities to gain awareness, and to personally experience the meaning of interconnectedness with all things. Remain alert, My Dear Traveling Companions. Do not let the energy of life use you and wear you down, but instead fully utilize it to your greatest advantage and your greatest good.

Dear Jeanne,
What would you like to discuss today?

Well, you know my focus is always on the evolutionary journey, and my good intentions go out to every one as they make their way through that life. I intend only good awakenings, yet often are there rude and abrupt awakenings, if that is necessary. By intend, I do not mean that I propagate awakenings, but I do use my energetic intent to urge awareness, so that the means by which an awakening is presented is noticed and paid attention to.

As I have often said, there are many now upon that earth doing good, in the service of awakening and awareness, offering their own good intentions so that many may become journeyers in a new way. Each of you are offered awareness, yet do you accept it as it is given? Do you wish to dismiss the form in which it arrives? Did you want a beautifully wrapped package with ribbons and bows and you only got a cardboard box? Well, it is not the package that matters, but it is what is inside that counts. No matter how your awakening is presented, so is it equally valuable and full of the utmost meaning for your evolutionary survival.

Accept all the gifts you are given, whether gentle and smoothly acceptable, or abruptly and harshly presented. What you do with them is the next step in the process of evolutionary growth. Will you learn from them? Even the simplest and most resonant of gifts offers great learning. It is these seemingly beautiful gifts that can be the trickiest, whereas the more blatant ones are easily understood. If you are offered awareness on a daily basis, what are you doing with it? If it is easy for you to “see” and to “know,” and if you easily connect with your spirit guides, and your journey is running fairly well, what are you really doing with those gifts?

On the other hand, if you are bombarded with signs of awakening on a more difficult level, awakenings that are hard to ignore, may you find it difficult to accept that these are gifts, but know that they are. Gifts come in many packages. Do you see yours as they arrive? Do you leave them piled at the door, unopened, because they are not as you wish them to be? Do you refuse them and send them back? Well, unfortunately, will they continue to arrive, so you might as well accept them, and start opening them, one at a time, until you have discovered all the gifts you are given and understood their meanings.

You are all being offered gifts on a daily basis. Use your awareness today, and every day, to accept and learn, accept and learn, accept and learn as you journey. That is how you will continue to awaken and grow in an evolutionary manner. I myself, as Jeanne Marie Ketchel, had many harsh awakenings as I was delivered blow upon blow to my beautiful, cherished body, as cancer arrived in its ugly box, and offered me its cruel means of growth. Yet did I accept it as my path, and I made it my own, my own cancer journey, lived and learned in my own fashion, staying the course in spite of much disturbance presented by others in an effort to sway me from that path. But it was the right path for me to take. I accepted it without regret, and I elected to learn as much as I could about the only cures that resonated with me, and my intent to grow. I sought both physical healing and spiritual healing, and that is what I urge all to do, every day; balance both the physical and the spiritual, cancer free or not, healthy or ill, full of life and energy, or tired and troubled, so is life meaningless unless you seek growth, balance, purpose, and really utilize the slot you have been granted to live.

So today, continue your journeys, My Dear Ones. Life is offering you all that it has, sending you gifts every day. Open your packages as they arrive, and seek the deeper meaning of everything you are given. In this manner will you continually grow. Study hard, but balance your efforts with calming spirit centeredness and you will find your journey more enjoyable, no matter what your packages hold. This is enough for now. Good luck as you continue along your path. I await your energetic response to the discoveries you make. See what happens!
