#177 A Time of Coming Out, If You Dare

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a brief note of guidance for us all today?

Although the energy is winding down, from high intensity, and scattered and frantic grabbing for fodder, so is there still much to be aware of as far as energetic pulls are concerned. Be as a being with eyes all around, looking, looking, looking always for your proper direction, your place of rightness, your inner calm, but always aware of what is seeking to distract you from this concentrated inner path of discovery and exploration.

The energy allows free riders to latch on and go far upon its energetic power, not caring if it is good or bad energy, but simply taking on riders for the thrill of it. Your own awareness must be the filter, straining out the interfering energy that seeks only to feed off you. Such energy cares little for growth and evolution; in fact, does not even pay attention to such desires in you. Don’t take it personally, but such energy is interested only in what it can get out of you.

This I have warned continually about. Your one and only defense, the perfect solution, is to turn away from it, disregard it, and allow it to pass you by. This energy may appear in the form of another person, in desires and appetites, in old habits, in old fears, or even in the form of big babies that you may think you need to attend to, but, in reality, do they seek but your sustenance and nothing else.

Use your filters, and your eyes all around, to keep you aware, and alert, and protective of your own vital energy. Seek company that is compatible and companionable, for the right reasons: for reasons of true innocence and growth. Put aside now your own big baby needs, and step into your adult awareness as you tackle the vibrant energy that will continue to knock at your door. Don’t be fooled by how it appears, as it has the habit of hiding itself among the more common daily occurrences. Your alertness is now of utmost importance.

That is why I suggest heightened alertness, with eyes wide open all around, even as you stay in your place of inner calm, with your back turned against the intense and grabbing energy; scrutinizing your every encounter. Keep your innocence foremost as your guide, even as your adult awareness keeps it safe and protected from the hungry tricksters at your door. Allow this innocence to learn how to come out and play, even though these energetic times are frantic, because in so doing will you learn much. And though you may be slightly bruised by your encounters with reality, so are you also training your innocence to take a more active part in your life, with good results, for no matter what happens will learning always bring good fortune.

Find your center, your calm, and introduce your innocence to the awareness of the danger in the energy, but arm that innocence with your adult protection, and the two of you go on an adventure into reality. See what happens as your journey continues to unfold, as you find your path of spirit, and allow it to be known that this is who you are, both to yourself, and to others. This is a time of coming out, if you dare.

There is much acceptance awaiting resonance, as innocence is being stirred up by the facts of life on earth and the destructive energy that abounds. Many seek innocence as an antidote, and this is not as far-fetched as you may think, for only in innocence is there truth, and that is all that matters. So, if each of you dares to expose your innocence, guarded by your adult maturity, looking for reciprocal energy, so do you offer a shift, not only to yourself in your own growth, but to those who you come in contact with too.

So, keep in mind that the energy is brutally honest in its greed, and the antidote is equal honesty on your part, even if that honesty causes a great shift so will it carry fortune with it, if it is truly right, and of deepest truth. Find your balance now, and venture out with your innocence and your maturity wearing the cloak of honesty and truth, with eyes all around, and love and compassion as your trusty weapons of defense. But don’t forget to turn your back at the merest hint of disagreeable energy. In this manner will you not only be safe, but utilizing your skills of awareness and alertness for growth, rather than destruction.

Keep focused on growth; that is the path to take. Balance, calm, inner quiet, and awareness; eyes all around looking for the proper path, avoid bad energy, look for resonance, ask for help, turn away when necessary. See what happens!

New Quotes Posted Today from Upcoming Book

Dear Readers of Jeanne’s Messages,

I have posted some new quotes in the Quotes sidebar today. They are from some earlier messages that are contained in our book, The Book of Us, which we will be publishing shortly, as an E-Book, hopefully over the next two weeks. We will be offering it as a free download through the holiday season; thereafter, it will be for sale at a very reasonable rate.

The Book of Us is, in the first part, a memoir, tracing the thirty years that Chuck and Jeanne Ketchel lived together, focusing on the journey these two very compatible beings traveled as they followed their spirits. This memoir includes their early years, personal inner struggles, a Jamaican retreat, professional life, work with Carlos Castaneda’s group, and their unique and exhaustive search through the world of alternative cancer treatments, ending with Jeanne’s final journey in leaving this life. The book is interspersed with journal writings, from journals Jeanne kept her entire adult life, with insights provided by Chuck, as well as channeled reflections as Jeanne was asked to comment on her past from her new vantage point. In the second part, entirely channeled, Jeanne describes transitioning from her body, and what she has encountered since leaving this world. In these early messages she is still figuring things out and often states that she doesn’t know how everything works yet, but in reading her messages now we discover how far she has continued to evolve, more sure of her place, and her mission.

We hope that you will not only enjoy this book, but also pass it along to others who may find it of interest, and in so doing become part of this mission of awakening that we, Chuck and I, had chosen to partake in. We will be sending out a notice of publication when the time arrives. In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy the messages. May they guide you on your journey.

Very sincerely, Jan Ketchel

#176 Take the Fruits of Your Hard-Earned Lessons

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

Unwrap from the old ideas of the self now as you continue your journey into maturity of spirit, seeking always intent that will allow for growth. Place intent where it will have meaning and significance, on that which will travel forward with you into a life of growth and evolution. As you now experience that energy that winds down, from high vibration, confrontation, and intimate bewilderment, embrace what you have learned about the self, and allow it to be firmly planted in your knowing. Take the fruits of your hard-earned lessons and strap them to your back for future nurturance as you travel your path.

Whenever there is such volatile and troublesome energy as has touched down among you in recent times, so must you take what you have learned and keep it in your knowing, for anything learned in such times is well-earned and of utmost importance. For such tumultuous times result in lessons of great importance being achieved, though they may, at first, seem trivial, or of little significance. Await further growth now, await shift of energy; and then see how the events of the past few weeks, and days, truly have affected you, both your decisions, and your actions.

I regret that such energy is leaving now, for its intensity works well to further my mission of awakening. But such energy is cyclical, and have no doubt that it will return in equal intensity when it is proper for it to do so. Until then, is there plenty on the horizon to keep you busy and alert.

Do not anticipate that just because such energy is releasing from your realm that things will lighten up! For you, in your own life, will now stir up plenty of your own energy as you take in what you have learned, and process the decisions you have made, and proceed now on your journey having made choices that will change you, and change the way you do things. Look for troubled times ahead; but without such intense energy surrounding you is there danger that you will not notice this intensity, until it is too late. Be alert, and aware, and observant in your own life. Do not allow the calmer energy to dull your senses, or hide your intuition from you. Your awareness must remain keen so you don’t fall into old traps.

Rest, but briefly; then pick up your traveling spirit self and continue your journey along your path of growth and adventure. Continue your quiet contemplative self-study, seeking your inner truths, with your spirit further awakening and guiding you in your decisions and choices. Do what is right. Listen to your calm inner spirit, and your pathway will reveal itself clearly. Push aside the veils, the old veils that seek to keep your awareness from you, and in so doing allow clarity and fresh life to be your companions.

Await results of your tests. How do you think you did? Whether you passed or not, so have you learned vital lessons; and now you also know how to proceed. Of course you do! Do what’s right! What other choice is there, if you are on the path of spirit and spirit connection?

#175 Continue the Inward Turning

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance to offer for today and over the weekend?

Do not lay aside your vigilant behavior, for this time is fraught with unsettled energy that will continue to seek out sustenance. It is your job to protect and nurture yourself, staying continually aware that negative and uncouth, undesirable forces abound, and are seeking attention. Do not latch onto that which stirs from outside you, but do seek contained confrontation with that which erupts inside you. Continue to turn inward, and investigate the self. Doing the work of the inner self, constantly focused, and diligently heeding this inner tenaciousness, is most important business. I suggest, that all continue the inward turning that I have spoken of now for many days, for it will aid you on your journeys. Outward turning, and attention placed upon the pulls of the moon and planets, causing havoc worldwide, will do you no good. Guard your own energy carefully. Remain steady in your trust of the inner self to do the necessary work and be your stable, centered guide throughout this time of outer turmoil. I do not advocate much participation in the world over the next few days; far better to remain quietly meditative and fixed on inner work, with reading, writing, and dreaming as your companions. These things will be fulfilling enough, for the energy will see to it. Even in keeping energy outside of you, and away from your awareness, so will you be affected by the disturbances it creates, for even as all energy affects all other energy will you not escape its force as it seeks entry through your closed and locked doors. Even this disturbance outside of you will be felt. Use it to force concentration upon the inner you, and seek not distraction from it, but meaningful work. Ask for help, ask for guidance, and ask for dreaming companionship so that your lessons may be taught, and learned, in that vital state.

Nestle in for some inner work this weekend, fully aware that you will be tested. The grand construct of energetic tutors is about to release the test of the greatest magnitude, requiring all your skills thus far learned. So, prepare for this; keeping yourself alert and fully aware that it is outside of you, this energy that requires such diligent work; and keep your focus on your inner work. Thus will you succeed in passing this most important of tests.

This time of intensity will pass in a few days. Good luck, my friends. You will do well because you have been preparing for this, all this long time we have been together. Do not become overly anxious. Use your calm to your greatest advantage, and remain in your steady and balanced place; knowing that you alone control your vessel, your life, and your journey’s direction. Keep to the path; stay on course.

Chuck Ketchel, LCSWR
