Don’t forget that you are more than just a physical being; you are also a spiritual being. By that, we mean that you have more than one side to yourself. You are complete, whole, both as a human being and as a spiritual being because you carry always the seeds of truth within you—the why, the what for, and the where of life are all within you. These basic questions often leave you wondering, but they are actually the gist of who you truly are. You are a multifaceted being, just as everyone else is. You are there to grow and learn the lessons that you are presented with every day of your life. You don’t need to ask for the lessons, they are with you all the time. They are in the small things of life and the big things of life. And where are you going? You are going toward fulfillment, every day, in every way. Keep all that in mind as you begin a new day, as you face your lessons as they arise, and as you seek always to stay loving and kind, toward self and other. Every day.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It’s too hard to tell what will happen next because everything depends upon choices made. We could give you a best-case scenario but that would be useless, for humankind always has the last word on the Earth plane. Keep your prayers and intentions focused on what is truly right for the greatest amount of people, on what is heart centered, kind and compassionate, on what is the most loving thing to do. No matter what is going on in the world around you and what decisions are made without your agreement, keep always focused on these basic laws of love.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Chuck’s Place: Do Not Lose Yourself In The Sadness

Breathe and ride the rhythms of now in balanced calm…
-Artwork © 2025 Jan Ketchel

The atrocities of now are rampant and heartbreaking. For those who are sensitive and tracking of the truth, the impact of such sympathy can be one of overwhelming sadness.

Life, like the tide, is cyclical. This is the Law of Rhythm. Rhythm is a natural law, not karmic. The former movement of the world toward inclusion of all has rapidly shifted toward its opposite, a world of separateness. This example of rhythm is as basic as the breath.

When we inhale we bring home to the lungs oxygen. When we exhale we release from this inner wholeness carbon dioxide molecules to go off on their separate lives in the universe. Oneness and separateness are the Yin and Yang rhythm of our existence.

Currently, we are in an extremely rapid swing of separateness that is causing many innocent casualties around the globe. The indifference of world leadership toward these horrors, at core, reflects the brutality of a cosmic change of season.

Nonetheless, ancient karmic forces have attached to the current brutalities, seeking revenge for felt crimes from former times. Furthermore, the decisions and actions of now will generate karma for many whom will meet the inevitable consequences of their actions in this world, or beyond.

The swing we are in the midst of is inevitable and unstoppable. Its speed  has accelerated beyond light speed. This, though so deeply ungrounding for the majority of the world’s populace, suggests that the climax of its dominance is close at hand. Once the climax has been reached, we will all be able to breathe in fully, as the inclusive needs of all will assume the ascendency once again.

Perhaps with this perspective, one can find calm in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. Though we cannot stop the tide, we can ride its waves in calm balance and find harmony in change. For those who are fatally caught by its waves, we can know that at the astral phase of existence, beyond physical life, everyone has the opportunity to live and complete all life that was shortened by the storm.

The gift of our time is the growing awareness of the power of the subconscious mind to share in the power of the creative, and the created, through autosuggestion. In a time of limited resource, we can go inward in joy and gratitude as we suggest ourselves toward health and fulfillment in this material world. Through intention for the highest good for all, we contribute to better balance for a world steeped in shifting tides.

With the breath, we can slowly breathe in our wholeness and enjoy its wonder as we hold it for a while, then slowly release it to its separateness, as it exhales to the world. With every breath, we ride the eternal Law of Rhythm.

In the midst of the horrors of the Great War (WWI), Judge Hatch, from infinity, instructed his scribe, Elsa Barker, to balance herself as follows:

“Reach up to the indwelling Spirit and repeat, For her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.”*

This affirmation is a well-established path for everyone to traverse in order to arrive at a state of inner peace beyond sadness. Our indwelling Spirit is our High Self, the spark of the Divine that resides beyond the fray of mortal life. It is indeed a separate part of the Divine, the uniqueness of you, yet holographically united with All That Is.

Finally, from the ancient wisdom of the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 33:25), is expressed the knowing: As your days, so shall your strength be. 

Whatever comes to greet us each day, we have the strength to greet it in return. Sadness must at times be felt and released, but know you are filled with the strength of mastery, of all things.

In Rhythm,
Chuck
