#216 Focus Must Be Placed Ahead of You Now

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for humanity today?

Watch your energy so that you do not fall into old habits. This is a time of shift, and focus must be placed ahead of you now, not behind. Remain alert to your forward movement. Keep your focus maintained on growth and expansion of awareness and consciousness, to include not only your own inner process, but awareness of the changing world outside of you as well.

Avoid old patterns of behavior, old tendencies, and traps of repetitive life styles that will keep you entrenched and stuck. For now is a time of change, and the expectation of the energy is that you will ride now upon this energy of change, using it to your advantage so that you enable your self to shift into, not only a new year, soon upon you, but also a new way of life. This is your opportunity to wind down your old ways, your manner of living, your habits, your desires, and unseat your self now from the old means of transport and of travel that no longer function, that no longer move you along on an evolutionary path.

Look now for new roads of growth, new means of travel, and new energy to fuel you on your journey. Break away from all that has been your binding and your captivation, and look for your inner strength to push you forward now into new life. Seek meaning now in your life, true meaning, based not on the world of the past, but on the changing world of the future. Be that future, now, as you shift your own life into a new phase, selecting carefully your means of living now with your spirit as guide. Question your every move based on your new rules of living and change.

Are you truly ready to evolve? If you are, now is the time to take a deep breath and flow with the energy that is there to aid you. Follow your truths, your heart-centered knowing, and stay in your energetic resonance now as the last days of one year fold into a totally new year of great change. If you elect to ride the energy of spirit resonance, and play a new game of life, so will you immediately experience what I mean by shift and change, into a new way of living, as the years do now overlap and intertwine, for a moment or two, before splitting apart. In that moment of conjugal energy is it time to solidify your direction and place your intent upon your desired future path.

A path of spirit is opening up. Will you select it, and the great changes it offers? Or will you slide back into the energy of old and ride that current yet a while longer? It is up to you. But I suggest you take it seriously, for the energy is ready to offer guidance and change, like no other time. And the undercurrent, predictable as it is, may bury you for a lot longer than you’d like, if you choose its familiarity. Look at what life offers you now? There is so much waiting to be discovered. Are you ready for change, or are you going to ride the same train, as it loops around the same track, yet another year or two? Change is available now, great change, but it is up to you to decide your future, and to take full responsibility for your decisions, and every move you make. Now that is really living and growing; deciding to take the evolutionary path by electing the path of determined focus, with total awareness, and the clarity of responsibility that will challenge and test you, but ultimately bring you to your own powerful spirit, quietly waiting to emerge.

Uncover that tender spirit now, and allow it to guide you on your journey. Allow it to be the captain, rather than the captive, and allow it to lead you where it is right and proper for you to go, in order to meet the energy of change as it swirls through the moment of shift. Your spirit will recognize it and guide you to make the choices that are right for growth, even as the world around you does now strongly exhibit signs of much needed change, signaling to all of you that it is inevitable. Why not make your move now, when everything is aligned to aid you. For if you wait, may your attempts be more difficult, but still not impossible. I suggest you all take this time of shift very seriously, and study it for your own progress, and be alert to what the world itself is suggesting is necessary. Change is here. Do you see it?

#215 Shift Your Questing Perspective Now

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for today?

Nothing is inconsequential. Allow for experience, allow for truth to emerge, and trust to be granted and tested, but do not dismiss the ordinary signs that are daily placed before you. Learn to read them differently now. Stand back in your new place now and observe and live your life differently. You have learned a lot, absorbed a lot of new ideas and concepts, yet must you find a way to invite them to partake in your life now. Invite them in by shifting your questing perspective now. Do not look for what life offers you, but look to discover, from a new perspective with your new understanding of energy and of possibility, for life to unfold in a new manner now. Notice life unfolding differently now. It is only a matter of you changing your outlook, shifting your perspective, opening to possibility, and trusting that everything is possible.

Look now upon your past year with your new eyes, and your new heart, and then bring in your new understanding of life and energy, and discover that you have already perhaps been living life differently for quite a while. Do you wish for more change still? Well, request it, and you will be offered what you desire. But you will receive what you desire only if you know how to “see” what you are being offered.

#214 Maintain Awareness of Interconnectedness With All Life

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for humanity on this day of Christmas Eve?

Consider your self one being, in the flow of humanity that does now reside upon that earth, all interconnected by energetic force and compliance with the laws of nature that do course through you all. Maintain awareness of interconnectedness with all life now, as you go into your homes and your hearts for each other. Amid awareness of those who reside closest to you, do extend your awareness beyond your own doors now, and understand the larger container of earthbound energy.

All does not lie sweetly silent, but does, in fact, reverberate with great energetic force, resounding upon that earth with such magnitude, capable of awakening the slumbering, and alerting to the possibility of change and of evolution. With new awareness now in your hands, your eyes, your hearts, begin to shift to a new consciousness, even as the world around you asks for this shift as well.

There are many more now gathering, but what is the true reason for such gathering? Who holds forth true awareness now, and dares to present the first push in a new direction? Who dares to ask for simplicity of living, awareness of energy, and concern for all of mankind as never before? Who dares to rock the boat, and allow for upset, in order to create a new focus and a new desire for life? Place yourselves now upon your new paths, with your awareness honed, your consideration of energy and resonance of spirit as your guiding forces now. Desire change in your own life, creating a new world with your own intent.

Everything is Possible. Keep that mantra before your seeking eyes, and be aware of what comes to greet you in this time of gift giving and receiving. Your awareness, if you allow it, will present you with your own gifts of change. Focus now upon your inner gifts of knowledge, and acknowledge your small place in that vast world as being of importance, and significant for the evolution of all. Give your awareness, your energy, and your love now. That is all that matters.

#213 A New World Has Arrived

Dear Jeanne,
Wow, the week has gone by quickly. It’s Friday again already and the holidays are soon upon us. Do you have a message for this weekend?

Abide by the new rules of demeanor, and guide your selves through the coming days with foresight and intent upon progress. Your path lies waiting your discovery. Do not hide from that which attempts to aid you in your growth. Do not block the steps that appear to lead you where you need to go. Do not thwart your own spirit as it requests your participation in continued growth. For even as this season does approach and does tease with habits of old, so is this a new year, and new directives have become your habit now.

To remain in true spirit balance now must “simplicity” be your main mantra. As the holidays seek your attention, allow for a shift as you remind your self often of the new simplicity that is required by your seeking spirit self and the world at large now. There is little room for indulgence, but utter clarity, in the fact that there remain many ideals as yet uncovered that need attention, is necessary. Offer gifts of knowledge to your self often now. Remind constantly that the path is different, the world is different, the expectations are different. Change your own world now during this great time of shift, and enable further growth to take place before the New Year arrives.

Guard your energy, but give of it as well. Hide your intent from prying eyes, but reveal it in your outer being. Do not fall into old habits, but do remain active in your daily rituals of this season. Remain steadily balanced and seeking correction if you falter or get drawn into old places. Aid your self by recalling the new words of guidance to remind you to remain bathed in simplicity, focused, with your spirit invited to participate as never before.

Do not be afraid by the frightening turn of events that may shake the world as a great shift now takes place. Do not succumb to thoughts of flight or frantic notions of devastation, but take in what you have been learning, and know that this is what life is needing now. A great shift is imminent. How you react, now, is important. Do you flow with your calm spirit, so ready for growth? Or do you choose to return to old habits of behavior? Even a reluctant spirit offers growth, and progress can be made as you attempt to decipher meaning in seemingly meaningless events. But always is there a message.

Everything is meaningful. Everything is possible, and everything is part of a process of evolution. Do not forget these things. Your days may be quiet, with little blips of disturbance, or they may be nervous and agitated, with a great shift to rock your boat. But no matter how you react to the consequences of this time of shift, so maintain, in your awareness, that all is necessary. Whether but a seemingly small blip or a loud and shattering BOOM, so will a great shift occur. This I have no doubt about. Will you notice it taking place if your interference is of the quieter sort? Or will you run and hide if your shift arrives in loud overhead interference? Either way, you may miss the message, but think on it later, and follow your inner knowing. It will guide you to understand what my messages have sought to teach, that a new world has arrived, and life must be lived differently now, with awareness, and with truth, and with spirit pointing the way. It is inevitable.

Keep your awareness always in your pocket. Even as you enjoy your holidays, or if you are not the celebrating sort maintain always your vigilance of spirit awareness. Life seeks to teach even greater awareness; and we seek to aid you in being available to that awareness at all times. As shift takes place in your life, remember to shift your own awareness to wondering where the lesson is. And what is the meaning? And what step comes next? And what does this mean in the larger context of my journey and my evolutionary growth? It’s all about growing, learning, and journeying ever onward.

#212 Ten Steps to Becoming a New Citizen of Change

Dear Jeanne,
What is your message for today?

I am certain that most of you now upon that earth, no matter where you live, what country you call home, are aware of the changes taking place in the world around you. You are also greatly aware of the need for change in your own life. My mission is to enact change, first in each of you, and then far out into the world around you. As you learn new rules of life, and as you become more aware, and more cognizant of your energetic environment, so do you offer your self the abilities and motivations to change. As each of you begin to shift your own world, so do you shift and nudge worlds adjacent to your own. In this manner is awareness spread.

There continues to exist a great need for awareness of dire circumstances. It is no longer fashionable to ignore what prosperity and globalization have done to upset the balances that so precariously exist in nature, and even inside each of you. Your own balances of the physical sort, mental, and spiritual sort, do all suffer as a consequence of the greater imbalance that has been created all around you. Do not deny your own doings, for all who reside upon that earth are responsible for what is happening around them and inside them. All of you owe yourselves, and the world at large, much compromising and contemplation in order to rectify the great changes that have been inculcated. This example of the possibility of change already exists, and though it is as example of change gone awry, so is it clearly also an example of the possibility of change. All it takes now is the reverse, the persuasion and suggestion from that of consumerism, and consumption, and greed to one of simplicity, peace, and compassion, with enough for all to live and prosper, with focus now shifting to purity, innocence, and truth in order to accomplish this so greatly needed shift.

Do I ask too much of you? I don’t think so, for all I ask is for your inner knowing to come out into the world now and become the new citizen of change. All of you have within you the ability to change, to simplify your lives, and be contented with life as a journey, not of material riches, but a journey of inner growth and evolution. You know I do not ask for you to go out of balance at all. You live in the world and are expected to fully embrace your life there, but you are also expected to give equal time and consideration to all else that exists and asks for your attention.

To live a simple life is the first step. To become totally responsible for your self is the second step. To accept that you are a spiritual being is the third step. To understand that the world exists as a learning ground for evolutionary purposes is the fourth. To behave as if you have little time to accomplish a great deal is the fifth. To hold on to your focus of intent is the sixth. To abide by the rules of behavior for an evolutionary being is the seventh.* To maintain, at all times, an outlook that is balanced, practical, and spiritual is the eighth. To understand, fully, your own life, your reason for coming into that life, why you must live it, and where you are going next is the ninth. And the tenth is to always, always stay in your truth. Truth matters above all else, for without truth will none of the others matter. For how can you exist in perfect balance with your self and your environment, if you hide from the truths of the self and the world around you?

You have all created a world for yourselves. This world belongs to you. No one else has created it, except you, by your choices, your actions, your decisions. So take full responsibility for it, and determine, right now, where you want to go next. What will your next step be on your journey? Are you unhappy? Do not blame others for your unhappiness, but instead understand your own actions already taken, and take responsibility for your journey that has unfolded to this point in your life. Once you own your own life, fully take it on, absolve all others, and your self too for where you are now, so do you free your self to truly move on.

Begin a great unburdening in order to achieve a new simplicity of spirit, and then tackle the other points of growth that will aid you on this amazing journey that you now take through this most consequential time upon that earth. All of you are living in great times of change. Do you not see that? Are you not thrilled to be available at such a moment in earth’s time of shift? Are you not able to allow your self the freedom to become a new person, who can take the journey now being offered?

Find your balance, your equilibrium of spirit and human form, and embrace your abilities to learn to function in a new manner as the great shift now begins its inevitable roll into the future. Grab onto your awareness, for you will need it. But go into the future with foresight, and knowledge, and alertness that this is your choice. Take responsibility for the change, and determine that it is desired and wanted, above all else, for it is the only way to learn and grow, and eventually evolve. Be a part of the change, by energetically and spiritually fully embracing it.

I urge change upon you, as do many others; our missions send messages through messengers of all variety. But most of all, we seek to incite awareness so that you have the opportunity to wake up and become part of the change, with this new awareness intact, rather than one day waking up in a daze wondering, “What happened?” The world is changing. Are you?
