Dear Jeanne,
Today, I would like to ask you to give us some general guidance. I understand that, as you said the other day, a shift has taken place and our challenge is to allow ourselves the opportunity to change and shift as well. Can you expand on your offerings of guidance around this theme of shift?

I am pleased to announce that not only is this a time of shift, but also of great significance. Your decisions and plans made now, during this time of energetic significance, will be with you for a long time to come, carrying with them much good and positive energy that will be available to you in your future, as regards those decisions and plans. Even those of you who do not necessarily have huge moments of significance right now, will find that the experiences of this time will later reveal themselves to be carrying more weight than you can imagine.

By this, I mean that the energy now present upon that earth carries with it major potential, being stored even now for future use, when needed, but also when appropriate. You may not be aware of its full utilization or appearance in your lives, but it will be available to you in the future.

Decisions made now, both personal and communal, and those made by world leaders, new and old, carry you into a new century of change, development, understanding, and significant growth. On a personal level, you can look forward to an easier time as you meet your challenges and confront your issues. Things that have blocked and held you back will now release and flow with greater force and ease. You will notice less resistance.

Your unconscious self remains aware of the shift, though you may lose contact with it as you go about your life. You will see change in the world around you now, in the people around you, and in the general atmosphere of how people act, react, and proceed in their lives. Governments now determine that real change can only happen by the past being severed and new determinants being implemented, altering not only the course of conflicts, but also shifting the future potential of all nations to a more humanitarian, tolerant appreciation and understanding of the world, as a diverse and enthusiastic melting pot where all hold valid ideas. Prospects for change are worldwide, not restricted to an elite few.

The tumbling of the world will continue on many levels, as the old structures will submit to the shake up caused by this time of significant shift. You will begin to see the knocking down of ego driven and greedy leaders, as they no longer find support, nor underlying complacency among their people keeping them in power. The truth seekers will now begin to speak up, unafraid, for they are carried forth by this outer powerful energy that will not sit quietly upon their hearts or tongues, but urges the good ones to come forth now, more forcefully, with spirit and truth guiding them. Honesty and forthright truthfulness now pull ahead to lead the chariots of progress upon the surface of that world stage.

Your drivers are spirit driven, but that does not mean everything will be taken care of for you. You are all responsible. This time of significance will only truly blossom if all of you upon that earth wake up to the underlying truth that you are all evolving beings, comprised of energy, without differences, without confusing agendas. Simply put: you are all the same. This truth you must activate within the self, allowing it to flow out of you too. Many upon that earth have already reached such a conclusion. Many are fully aware that significant change can only happen with this awareness first and foremost, the prime picture placed before the world’s eyes. A new vision of sharing, of energetic giving, of spiritual exchange must now be enacted in order for the new world to emerge from the remains of the tumbled structures of old.

Your own awareness must remain alert to the changes in the outer world. Your reactions to these changes must remain focused on returning dignity, with the ability to live truthful lives, free of oppression and depression, and encouraging hope-filled lives of spiritual significance now in all who reside upon that earth.

I do not speak of formal religious instruction or domination. I do not speak of any domination, or take over, or oppression of one over another. I speak of wide open acceptance of all differences, as totally revealing as no differences whatsoever. I speak of the veils lifting and each of you seeing that you have nothing to hide, nothing to fear, nothing to run from, for all of you are being exposed for what you truly are: the same. You are all energy; energetic beings comprised of complicated lives, with the same goals and the same evolutionary potential for caring compassionate universal love, trust, and the desire to evolve.

I conclude with offering you this as well: your time upon that earth is significant. Do not doubt that you are alive now for a reason that has to do with universal principles of change. Your world is personal, and your personal inner work, your introspective discovering of who you are, is totally necessary. Yet are you also attuned to the fact that all of you upon that earth are interconnected. This is an awareness that has not previously been fully acknowledged or allowed to be acceptable. This is your first challenge beyond your own inner work, to utilize this awareness of interconnectedness in your daily lives, expanding awareness of it. You are all responsible for this. This can be done by using your intent, as we have spoken of before, to enact positive universal change for truth and good to now take over and lead the chariots of justice and humane caring, connecting all of you upon that earth with a world wide web of a different fiber, the invisible fiber of energy.

Accept your place in that world, My Dears. Get out of your musty beds of despair and complacency and use your energy to excavate the truth of your own energy. It is powerful and significant. Allow it to be revealed to you in its fullness, but also in its interconnectedness. Use it for good, for your self and others.

Intend change. This is the time for it. Your are there during this time because your contributions are desired, necessary, and powerful. Contribute to the world. Use your energy to dismantle the old and build a new world, with energetic intent, acceptance, and truthfulness as the base.

Dear Jeanne,
Wow, I must say, the energy has been quite erratic, sometimes incredibly intense, then quiet, but still with a noticeable undercurrent. At least, that is what I have been experiencing. Can you offer us some guidance for the coming week?

Do not thwart your progress with attachment to the outside energy. Yes, it will come rattling your doors and windows, seeking entry, knocking, asking for a place to stay, but do not admit it. Allow it to swirl past you, going on its merry way. For in reality, though it may pressure you, so does it not seek you specifically, but any energy that is available will do.

That being said, it is your challenge during such times of turbulence, such times of high and low energy, to remain focused upon your course. This requires awareness of the possibility that energetic confusion may usurp your usual balanced calm. This requires also the ability to detach from the dramas being played out, the circumstances presented by the big babies in your life, and the neediness of those around you. Awareness of these things, and the ability to detach from them, are also meant for the self. For even though you may wish to regard the outer energy, and others around you, as the culprits, so are you always being presented with some aspect of the self that seeks attention.

Perhaps it is merely an opportunity to test your balance and your ability to remain calm, no matter what approaches. Your awareness and ability to understand very clearly what your place is are also perhaps being tested. Perhaps you are being asked to go deeper inside your self, as this outer energy pounds at you, to investigate the inner child self. Or perhaps you are being shown an example of energetic intent and how it does not select you, but you select to attach to it, for it is your choice.

The consequences of electing to attach your energy to an intent then becomes your test and challenge, as you feel how powerful an attachment to energy is and becomes. When I recently spoke about using your intent to advocate or precipitate an event, so did I speak of you being the instigator. But now must you also be aware that intent proposed from outside of you is seeking attachment at all times. Even as your own power of intent has affect, so does that of others have affect on you.

Your choice is whether or not to engage it; whether spending your energy in such areas may be harmful to you, or deeply engaging and meaningful. This is where your awareness of self and how you wish to conduct your energy is most necessary. I suggest that you always weigh the use of your energy. Is this a good place to spend it? Is it right for me to do this? What am I doing by giving energy? Is it positive, helpful, meaningful; or is it unnecessary? Is it better to remain detached, holding it in reserve for a time when I feel is more appropriate?

Many times, energetic intent is for purposes of good and it feels proper and important to respond to requests for energetic involvement. Other times, the request for energetic involvement is going to present you with a huge drain that will not refuel you, or offer you anything in return, including a positive sense that you gave your energy properly or wisely?

Be aware that this time, now, includes a turning point. A tipping point has occurred. Now the energy requires that you notice its availability to aid you as you go in a new direction. But your choice becomes: how will I use the energy that is now presented? It is not necessarily quiet and easily flowing. As you mentioned, it is quite lively. When it is in this state of choppiness, so is it asking for you to remain alert to what it is doing. Is it important for you to engage in some form of energetic intent outside of you now? Or is it more important to go innerly and engage in energetic intent there? Both questions are valid, and both uses are valid, depending on where you are. Your desire to challenge your self may also be a factor. Your awareness, however, is key, as you ask your self questions regarding what the energy is asking of you. Do you see? This is a two-sided process.

Yes, there is plenty of energy to attach to. There are plenty of occasions for you to give of your energy. But whether it is right, or wrong, is up to you. Are you going to go with the turning point energy, or the turmoil energy?

This is a time of great introspection and choice, in spite of the energetic, magnetic pull that you feel. Awareness, balance, inner questioning, and the ability to think quickly and clearly are your best sidekicks now. You will be offered many opportunities to utilize your own energy. But propose to your self that you use it with proper intent, for that which is most meaningful to you. The realization that you are in complete control of how you use this most powerful aspect of self, will help you maintain your balance. You have a most powerful ally in your own energy. As you go into this week of turning but tumbling energy, keep your focus on your own energy and how you will spend it.

Is your energy tank full or depleted? How will you decide to keep it at maximum capacity, if it is full? How will you constantly regenerate it? Or, how will you replenish it, if it has seeped out into the world, been energetically drained? How will you protect it so that you are energetically available for what is right, meaningful, growth-oriented, and resonant with you?

Dear Jeanne,
Our recent discussions about the values and the confusions of other worlds have been very interesting. Can you talk about the proclivity of us humans to repeat, often throughout many lives perhaps, the same issues? Why is it so hard for us to face our truths and see through the veils around us? By the veils, I mean everything that appears to confuse us, including fear, doubt, denial; the stuckness that so often prevails.

My Dearest Jan, as human beings are you asked, over and over again, to take the opportunity to evolve beyond what you refer to as veils and stuckness. At each new life opportunity are you presented with a set of issues to work through. You are given, by your own choice as a potentially evolving spirit, the ultimate picture completion. Then are you given full responsibility for completing that picture. Your veils are your challenges and your teachers, as they hide from you the clarity of that picture of the perfect being. Your evolutionary potential is given a new opportunity each time you begin a new life. But your awareness of this is, in essence, taken from you at each new life, soon after birth into that world.

The trials of awareness begin immediately. First is awareness quickly muffled and veiled, as you learn and re-learn about life upon that earth. Every experience in that life is revealing some aspect of your awareness to you. This is what you must realize in order to gain clarity and be able to confront your truths, wholeheartedly, with your perfect picture self in mind. Your evolution is not in that world, but inside the self. As your awareness is revealed to you, so are you re-united with its true potential.

You are forced into solitary confinement, caught in the veils, and stuck in your entrapped places because you need to be there. Your ability to see is not in question, because you all have moments of clarity. But your ability to maintain your awareness and accept the challenge it presents to you is your greatest feat. Are you all not daily presented with what you need to learn? Are not your truths constantly being revealed to you, in one form or another? Are you not exposed to the barren truths of the self, over and over again? If this is all so, then your greatest challenge becomes to access and live your truths, pushing aside the veils that constantly fall back over your eyes, leaving you half buried, even though your truths have been shown to you quite clearly.

Each of you has one basic and ultimate challenge in that life. You may feel that you have many, but there is, essentially, one central challenge to your evolving self for this lifetime. You may at times feel overwhelmed by many things, but what is your basic need in that life? That is where you will find your greatest issue, your greatest challenge, and your greatest teacher.

Seek your teacher today, as you ponder your own place of stuckness. You see it so clearly in others, perhaps; yet are you likely to push that same teacher away when approached by it again and again. If you continue to push your greatest teacher away, so will you continue to remain stuck. And as we have been talking about rescue in the past few days, so will you discover that no one will be able to rescue you from your confrontations with the ultimate teacher. It is necessary that you learn your lessons fully, by encountering them over and over again, until you can hold onto your clarity of those truths and stay on track with them as your rescuers. Your truths revealed, accepted, and lived are the only means of rescue and of evolving beyond where you are caught.

Your entries into other worlds are simply your tests given to you by your greatest teacher. There are not that many lessons or courses of study. Most of you are on the same path, the same track of learning. Most of you are there to learn awareness of the self as a spirit being. You are there to learn the oneness of energy that is connected to all other energy. You are there to learn how to move on to a new awareness, having learned how to maintain your clarity of truth, and act on it, at all times, no matter what comes your way.

So, in conclusion, I suggest that you investigate your dark places, your veiled rooms, your comfort zones, and your habits that may appear to be quite efficient and functional but are, in fact, just highly controlled activities hiding your truths. Look around at the world you have created for your self and take full responsibility for it. You have gotten your self there. You know how to get your self out; you know that you just have to do your homework as it is presented to you daily. It requires a lot of research, inner research, but also outer awareness in order for you to truly grasp the concepts being presented. But its not all that difficult to grasp this fact: you are an evolving being whose greatest desire is to complete your life this time around in full awareness. Keep that in mind, My Dear Ones, as you meet your next test. You might notice that it is the same test you take every day. Am I right?

Dear Jeanne,
I still have some questions about energetic intent and rescuing someone who appears to be caught in another world. I know that Carlos Castaneda, for instance, had an episode of being caught in another world, drawn to rescue a little girl he perceived as needing help. In the process of rescuing her, he got caught. He called this child “The Blue Scout” because her energy was the color blue. He then had to be rescued from remaining attached to this child figure, lost in a world far from the path he was on. He could not leave a child in danger, as his weakness was that he could not let anyone be trapped, and especially a child. Yet, she was not, in actuality, a child, but an entity. This gets complicated, and Chuck is more knowledgeable about it than I am, but I see the scenario as similar to an addiction, or a challenge to be overcome. In his case, he was being drawn to what he perceived was an abandoned child, but in fact he was being caught by an entity who was testing his ability to detach from the illusion of need (addiction), among other things.

Anyway, my question today is, if we perceive that someone is caught, such as Carlos was, is it right to rescue them, provided we maintain our awareness? And provided we are not wrongly perceiving what is presented, and end up like Carlos? Do you understand what I’m asking?

Yes, I do. Although Carlos was caught by this child, so was it necessary for him to encounter her, for she was a projection of his own inner child. Yet was she also an entity who knowingly enticed him to her presence. In actuality, it was necessary for him to experience her world, in order to grow.

Why then did he have to be rescued? Couldn’t he have gotten out of the situation on his own?

The rescue, as you perceive it to be, was not, in fact, a rescue of physical proportions, but a rescue of intent that woke him up, shook him awake, so that his awareness could kick in, back into cognition and alertness, enabling him to see his folly. For it was folly on his part, becoming entrapped by that which was at his own deepest core, yet caught by the outer presentation of it in a crying, moaning child, rather than perceiving what lay underneath. What lay underneath was also necessary for that child to experience. Do you see?

Okay, so both Carlos and the Blue Scout were mutually in a place they needed to be. And the rescue was an awakening so that he could understand his predicament and be energetically capable of removing himself from the situation. Was it not an exhausting episode in his life? (This sounds like my own encounter with crashing into a deer, as mentioned in Message #405.)

Yes, it was, by all standards not only exhausting, but energetically life threatening. This is one of the problems of entering into other worlds; losing or steadily declining awareness, and being energetically drained by what you are attached to, suffering greatly in the long run.

So the point that I continually make, as regards other worlds, is that as you are entrapped, so is your awareness dimmed. Your alertness is dimmed, and your energy is siphoned off by the world around you. In the reality of earth, this is quite noticeable right now, even on a daily basis. You go about your routines, rushing around, needing, consuming, and in most cases losing conscious attachment to your spiritual self. You often remind your self that you are a spiritual being. You yearn, peripherally, to return to your spiritual practices, yet are you unable to get your self to a place of clarity.

Allowing the self to be drawn to the real world, to fully experience it, to be confronted by aspects of the self that must be tried, indulged, and then challenged, are all necessary. If you find your self caught where you do not wish to be, if your awareness kicks in and alerts you to your own folly (and I do not mean folly in a negative way, but as a moniker to describe something that you will not need later in life) so will you eventually find your way out of that world, when the time is right. In the case of Carlos, the time was right, though it took tremendous energetic effort, by himself and others, for his energy was at quite a low point.

So that leads me to the question of using energetic intent to enact a rescue. Can you give examples of how we can do this, if we perceive a need and are willing to risk our own energy?

Yes, this is what transpires, quite often, in prayer, in group meditation, in collective awareness being directed in the aid of another, or many others. In your own country, awareness has increased dramatically to such a state of heightened cognition, noticing that things are in dire straits. The energy of America has long been drained by outside entities feeding off its bounty, invited in by the greed of the capitalistic system. I know I may sound quite radical, but if you put the situation in terms of energy, so has America gotten caught in another world. Vital energy, necessary for growth, has been sidetracked and consumed, as so many have gotten caught in the illusion of riches, material in content, with little spiritual value.

However, at a moment of most dire consequence, an awakening of energetic intent has been perpetrated upon the masses, begun by those whose vision was not clouded or denied them by the forces of greed. Luckily, there remained many eyes and hearts of clarity in order to enact an energetic change. But this change will not simply happen by the intent of the few who began the push. It must be sustained by being taken up by those who have been caught, blind sided, and lied to. Those of you who have awakened must now stay awake. This is your individual challenge and your collective challenge. For now that a great awakening has happened, now that a shift has occurred, so will the dark entities seek reentry and the return of the crown into their possession.

Possession of the crown of greed is not the energetic spiritual revolution that is taking place, but the false war. You have been granted clarity many times in your life. You have had your hands upon the crown of the inner spirit king. But how many times have your hands slipped away, as you have seen something else, or tasted something else that is more enticing? I perceive, Jan, that your question about rescuing people from addiction as running the gamut of the meaning of the word, addiction. From serious drug addictions to addiction to power; to material items; to the big baby; to the bad relationship; to the fears of old; and to doubt, that troublesome partner who is along for the ride on this journey you take; among many other things. Am I right?

Yes, I see addiction as multi-faceted, yet also multi-defined, as you state. When I use the word, addiction, I’m speaking of all types of problems that we encounter as we go through life. When we feel caught, helpless, and unable to get beyond our stuck places (addicted), how can we energetically shift?

Ask for help, My Dear. All of you Readers of my messages, if you are in a place of helplessness, do not refuse your own spirit, speaking words of encouragement, to ask for help outside of your self. Do not refuse your inner knowing that says: Yes, I am in need of help.

Here is An Asking Prayer for you: “Send me energetic accompaniment, so that I can shift. Aid me in my struggles by offering me clarity, so that I may awaken and take back my own energy, pointing it properly upon my own personal path of growth. Release me from attachment to the dark entities that steal my energy, my awareness, and my life. Help me to return my awareness to my inner heart-centered journey, to my place of calm knowing, and my place of inner work. Help me to understand that my challenges are necessary. Help me to accept my deepest inner truths. Help me to have the strength, the energy, and the fearlessness necessary to accept my truths with the strength of a warrior, the awakened energy of a warrior. Thank you for aiding me, for guiding me, for showing me the way to my self.”

You know, My Dears, that is all that life is about. It is showing you the way to your inner destiny, your inner completion, and the doors that lead to your evolution. Remain alert to your challenges. Do not fear your journey or doubt what you receive to lead you on your way. Accept your truths, no matter how dire or frightening they may be to your ego self. Keep your eyes open, focused, and truth seeking. Listen for words of truth outside of you that resonate with the words of truth inside you. Guide your self, even as you request guidance of others. Stay awake!
