Today, Chuck asks a question regarding the 2012 predictions of spiritual transformation or apocalypse, which many people wonder about.

Dear Jeanne,
I was struck by your message on Friday, as regards the evil energy. I waited to see what the weekend would bring. I’ve been struck by the Republican strategy to destroy President Obama at all costs. The level of vitriol and stirrings of fear and hatred, inciting violence and assassination, are utterly obvious to me. I can’t help seeing the energetic forces being unleashed as equivalent to the dynamics of Nazism during World War II. There is absolutely no interest in reconciliation. I perceive a bloodlust awaiting its opening. Three times last night I heard the coyotes in their aggressive vigor, their lustful laughter as they approached the kill.

We had a dinner guest on Saturday night, a dear friend. She asked what we thought of 2012. Personally, I resist the collective momentum of apocalyptic fear. On Sunday morning, I was drawn to watch a movie, which I could not find among my collection, but instead, unexpectedly, reconnected with Matter of Heart, a documentary about Jung. In the final minutes of the film a close confidant of Jung’s admits that in his final days before his death, in 1961, he had visions of apocalypse. He stated that mankind had only fifty years left upon this earth, which would equate to 2011. He saw utter destruction in his first vision. The confidant took notes and stored them in a drawer, reluctant to speak of them. In a second vision she states that Jung saw the earth surviving, but with vast areas of major change. Her descriptions of Jung’s visions mirror your own of a few years ago and the statement you made in your message on Friday that: “The world is not on a collision course toward annihilation, but it is enroute to a new phase.”

I must admit, as I observe and feel the energies of now I see little possibility of reconciliation of the dark and the light. It feels inevitable that nature itself must provide the impetus for our evolutionary advance. Of course, like Jung, I feel that as individuals we can make the necessary advances, as all that is in the world exists within us. Take on that challenge and you advance the world. Your comments?

Thanks!
Chuck

2012 is simply a date proposed by the calculations of man. Whether ancient or of present day concern, it remains a manmade proposal. Yet do I not dismiss it in its entirety, for change is always imminent and predictable. Shift is ever-present, and death, the ultimate transformative tool, is sitting upon the shoulders of all, awaiting the moment of predicted arrival.

You ask, My Dear Chuck, many questions at once. First you must remember, as you conclude, that change has been coming for a long time. Yes, I have predicted natural changes, and those of you who are alert have seen and heard these dire statements. You have acknowledged the scientific phenomena of warming and shift, heeding the experts who have studied the earth’s surface and discovered change. Such changes are both naturally occurring and devastatingly affected by the activities of mankind. I do not like to speak of doomsday scenarios because I do not foresee such a cataclysmic event or a totally destroyed physical planet. Yet do I see great changes taking place. Whether they occur today, tomorrow, or in a few years time, so are they necessary for mankind.

You mention my previous concerns for the climate of earth and the inner climate of man as a collective entity. I do not fear for mankind or the earth, for I am greatly aware of the existence of energetic life. My suggestions to all of you, today, are to recall these facts: that all of you are energy, and everything else is energy. With that in mind construct a scenario of earth’s demise and you will realize that energy will survive; you will survive in energetic form. This may not be what you think of when you allow yourselves to ponder the destruction of all that you know, love, and treasure, personal and historical, but it is the truth of existence and must be held in the back of your awareness at all times.

What about C. G. Jung’s visions as he neared death? Do you have a concept of what he saw?

Yes, his awareness knew of the timelessness of all things, of the inevitability of shift and change. The fifty-year prediction was historically correct, for as I mentioned the other day, within a one hundred year span many great shifts occur. In your own case upon that earth now, My Dear Ones, I wish to press upon you the need to remain aware of the fact that you are energy, first and foremost.

You exist in a place of great learning where great forces of collective energy have great power. This is what you are now contending with upon that earth. The synchronicity of predictions of demise soon to come and the build up of powerful energetic forces at this time have the potential to lead to great shift. Shift is inevitable, that I can say with certainty, but I also state that shift will happen anyway because it is the proper time for it, based upon the energies upon that earth.

I have spoken often of the need for awareness and awakening to the power of energy. You are living in a time when both awareness and energetic awakenings are taking place, both in negative and positive forces. This is creating the tension that you, Chuck, so well perceive and that others also sense.

Awareness of the number 2012 is significant in that the tension of combative energy creates the need for an outlet, a moment of diffusion. This may come at any time depending upon the energetic intent of the human race as it now stands. There is no time for a new savior. Those of you now upon that earth are the generation of change and hold the power to enact either destructive forces or positive forces. Humanity now holds in its vast hands a burning ball of fire. Will the fire consume, or will the fire be put out? It is up to you. It is not up to time to resolve this issue, but it is firmly in the hands of those of you who are privileged to live upon that planet at this time.

The time of change and shift is already happening and has been for a long time. Our Dear Jung spoke of this awareness his whole life, his purpose to alert mankind to the potential that now holds him in its grip: the fear of annihilation. But mankind holds the key to annihilation as transformation, by daring to awaken his energetic intent to resolve the tensions by his own inner examinations. I do not contend that Our Dear Jung had all the answers, but he is right about one thing, and that is: that man holds all the world within himself. Each one of you holds within you all the tension that you feel and observe without, making each one of you responsible for the outcome of your generation. This is why I continually ask you to discover why you, each one of you, are alive now upon that earth, during this time of transformation. Each one of you carries the answer within. Each one of you battle good and evil within the self, in some form, and each one of you energetically affects the outer world.

It is indeed a time of great shift, awakening, and of energetic awareness. The power of energy is immense, and this may be your greatest challenge to understand and to use within your self and without. Within the self everything exists. This is not an inflated statement designed to empower you to act as mighty giants of self-purpose and self-desire, taking all that you want, greedy for power. Such giants of greed and desire are all around you, going too far upon the steeds of destruction, riding into the flames. But each one of you is being challenged to right the balance within the self, to accept the true facts of energy: that all are equal and have both negative and positive forces within. You are all also nothing, for, in total acquiescence to energy, attachment to all ideas and all intents dissolve into pure nothingness, where attachments become the clarity of recognizing that all are of the same energetic bounty, and potential is great for all to heal and to evolve.

Your time upon that earth is one of destructive spiritual healing, the negative leading to the positive, the wrong pointing out the right, surrounded by the awakening spirit within, and spurred by the truth that the same evil exists both within and without. Only in discovering the potential for evil within the self will your fears of annihilation become awareness of real spiritual change, without fear.

This is the ultimate goal of life upon that earth, your own many lives and the collective lives of earth time, historically and energetically: the resolution of all things as energy, devoid of fear of change and devoid of fear of true evolutionary potential, where other worlds do await the population.

I know it is often difficult to fathom what it means that other worlds exist, but if you maintain awareness of the self as pure energy, as a being living a human life upon that earth to reconcile this fact, then awareness of continued life, eternal life as energy, may be more clearly achieved. Mankind must get over the biggest block to his evolution, at all stages it is the same thing: fear of the unknown. I ask you to keep in mind that each day, each moment, you face the unknown, and yet you continue to exist; in some form you continue to exist. Whether you are facing yet another day of life or you are facing death, the end of that life, so are you facing the unknown and, energetically speaking, it is the same thing.

The answers to the dilemmas of the individual and the world as collective human energy and earth energy are: that everything is energy and all energy exists in perpetuity, but each one of you is charged to discover this within the self. Just because someone tells you this fact does not make it true for you. You must experience it, and to do this you must face your own fears, your own unknown darkness and your own unknown light as well.

In conclusion today, I wish to leave you on a positive note. As I suggest, you must discover, for yourselves, that you are fully capable of self-exploration leading to energetic awareness. But, as always, it is your choice. I know it is not an easy task, but I offer you this caveat: if you begin the process, you will not be disappointed, for your way will be well-laid out for you. And you may even recognize the path as it unfolds, that you have indeed traveled it before, the people you meet along the way your trusty companions and guides, well-known entities, for you have been this way before. Don’t you see?

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message to guide us over the next few days as we go into the weekend?

Channel from your heart, My Dear One, so that my words may be clearly heard.

Do not allow the outer forces of darkness to usurp the light that attempts to shine more brightly upon that earth. Remain keenly aware, at all times, that the forces of evil are returning in full force, attempting a takeover. This is a worldwide phenomenon that occurs quite regularly, throughout all time, and has been historically documented.

How often does this occur?

Within a hundred year span upon that earth it can occur many times.

Why does this happen?

The forces of evil stir when awareness is low, when times are hard, and when the people of earth are troubled by the problems of daily life. When they are forced to attend to domestic and social ills their focus is outward on the world and on simple survival, rather than inward and on what is right. Such a time has been building upon that earth. Attention caught in mere survival results in energy turning bitter and angry, and this becomes the focus, projected energy of blame and discontent. This is now a season of much disturbance of energy and many are swept up in the fires of bitterness.

What should we do?

Clarity must be maintained, and this clarity must be attributed equally to compassion and right action. I have long been speaking of the need to learn what it means to attain a place of compassionate loving detachment for all beings upon that earth and to understand, by remaining in such a loving place, what steps of action to take.

Goodness must not fall by the wayside now as the darkness stirs into hatred. Despair must not instill fear in those who normally do not speak up. Even the silent ones among you have power in energetic intent. Now is a time of action for the simple fact that if you do not act and react to that which is obviously wrong in the world, then you will not have room to change things again for a long time. It does not matter where you live in the world; this is a time of stirring of the dark side. My warning is not unique. You hear such warnings all the time, but do you really understand what is happening?

I think we do, and many people are aware that false accusations and blatant lies are being spread in our own country.

The machine of denial and untruth is enormous. Do not doubt its power, for it is heard by many who live in fear and discontent. It is not a time to be ignorant of what is happening in your world, but a time to stand for justice, love, and compassion for all beings upon that earth. It is time to dismiss the so-called fears, for most of them are falsely constructed and have become contorted and used beyond all sensibility, merely as fodder for the fires.

The fires of discontent will continue to be fueled by false rhetoric because the energy of darkness understands how important an element fear is in the context of inciting and arousing anger, a most necessary aspect of its energy. Without anger there would be little progress. It is time for the good, the light, the energy of compassion and truth to use its own anger of discontent to put out the fires. The problems will not go away on their own. The fire will rage and destroy everything in its path, unless the energy of awareness attacks it with far greater force. By turning against it with a mission of truth as the catalyst, bringing waters of clarity to squelch the flames fueled by lies, one anger may control the other and hatred, fear, and the loss of love and compassion may be quelled.

But it must happen now. Now is the time to look at what will be lost if love, compassion, truth, and awareness are not brought out into the open. Do not keep your goodness locked inside you now, My Dear Ones. Each one of you has enough good energy to change the world. Each one of you has enough awareness of what it means to act with goodness. Each one of you knows what is truly right.

Alarm is my intent today, to arouse you all to the intent of the dark side to destroy the progress of goodness by gaining entry into the psyche of each individual who is caught by the fears and lies and to use such individuals for its own purposes. (See NOTE at end of post.)

This sounds very dark, almost evil.

I do not jest, nor do I threaten that which is not true. I beg you, My Dear Readers, to look around you. The world is not on a collision course toward annihilation, but it is enroute to a new phase. Either it heads straight into the darkening storm on the horizon, unable to see what is before it because of the smoke caused by the fires of discontent, and simply because someone says it is the right direction to take, that there is nothing to fear in this direction, or the world may choose to look with eyes of clarity and speak the truth, rising above the crowd, instinctively aware that there is trouble ahead if that route is taken and provisions are not made to take a new course.

Do you choose to run with the crowd, into the flames, simply because that is where the crowd is going? Look around you. What is truly the right direction? Use your awareness, your clear vision, and take action rather than follow the leaders who are attempting a takeover.

Save your energy for useful thinking, for truthful thinking, for right action. Thank you for listening to my admonition today. I seek to warn the loving gentle ones upon that earth that fear alone can change the course of history, but so can clarity.

Seek to understand the truths beneath the rhetoric. Which fears being promulgated are true fears and which are false fears? That is where you will find the answer to how to combat evil with good. Act with goodness at all times, within the self and without. Find the true answers deep within and you will find the answers to what to do without. You, by your true goodness and compassion, have the energy to change the world. Remember, first and foremost, that you are an energetic being, and so are all upon that earth!

NOTE: At this point in the channeling I was aware that Jeanne was indicating that the energy over the next few days has qualities to blanket our awareness, so that even though we are seeing what is happening, we are not alert and reactive, so it is a dangerous stratum that may help the overall dark energy. As she queries us at the end of the message, are we just cattle going to the slaughter?
-Jan

Dear Jeanne,
What message do you have for us today?

Today is the day to question your reality and your dream world alike. Do not question the truth of them, but question what they are attempting to show you. Question what you are being taught and what you are asked to open up to. The Universe supports you at all times, though you may not be aware of this. The Universe, encompassing everything seen and unseen, spoken and unspoken, clear and unclear, is prepared at all times to guide you, but it is up to you to wake up to its teachings.

In order to understand how the universe works it is most important that you accept the blurring of worlds as natural, as appropriate, and also as confusing, for the Universe, in its attempts to get your attention, must often shake you up, shattering your illusions, and creating a new world in which you are more open to accepting the gifts it offers. If you remain solidly planted in your so-called reality, your every day world of work, worry, and little enlightenment, you will not be in a position to notice that you are being offered many options for growth and shift, many gifts that have the capacity and ability to jolt you out of your daily slumber.

However, if your concrete reality, with its sharply defined rules and edges, becomes indistinct, shaking you out of your slumber simply by appearing differently, you may begin to question it, but also your place in it, and this is good. Are you really present in such a place of stability and unrelenting boredom, or are you simply passing through on the way to other worlds?

Offer yourself some questions, but do not stay stuck on the questions themselves. Instead, pose the questions and then ask the Universe to offer you a glimpse of a new reality, another reality, as perfectly viable as the one you daily exist in. In so doing you will learn that it is just a matter of shifting your perspective on life and reality that allows you to experience the magic of life upon that earth.

Accept the true fact that life upon the earth is full not only of magical moments, but of magical signs, ideas, and opportunities. Simply by shifting your thoughts from their usual well-trodden paths, you will be offered a new direction for interpreting your world and accepting new ideas. In this manner, that which is before you each day will suddenly take on new meaning as a magical place of learning, and life will shift from the mundane to the exquisite.

Experience your self differently today by allowing the Universe to show you something. Ask the question: What is reality? Then defy every known interpretation of what that means and allow the self to perceive it in a different manner. Is the world around you beautiful, or is it sinister? And why is it either? Is the Universe attempting to show you the side of the self you have neglected, or is it showing you the side of the self you have right before your eyes, but have been too cautious and afraid to trust as truthfully your reality? Is the Universe challenging you to accept something painful or something strange that you have not fully understood about the self?

The Universe is there to guide you to that which you must learn about the self. By accepting your challenges with an open mind, without attachment to worry, fear, the big baby, and the life of victimhood that so often strangles growth, you have the opportunity to open a new door to interpreting life as a journey.

Where is my journey taking me now? Where am I allowing my journey to take me? Do I go, or do I stay where I am? Do I acquiesce because I know that I must keep going? Or do I say: Stop pushing me, life!

As you learn who you are, as you accept the truths of the self, you will find that your awareness of gifts from the Universe will increase. I urge you all, My Dear Ones, to drop your old ideas of the self, of your reality, of your expectations, and adopt an open mind, a freer spirit, and step into the magic that surrounds you. Put on a new pair of glasses, so to speak, so that you will be able to see differently. And then accept what you see and experience as equally real and valid as the shoes upon your feet and the skin upon your body, the feel of which may change as you allow your self to drop all pretenses and take off in a new direction.

Do you dare? Do you dare see with new eyes, feel with new touch, sense with new senses, and accept the magic all around you? What are your challenges and your magical gifts today?
