Dear Jeanne,
The energy has been feeling a little heavy, a little cumbersome. Do you have some guidance for us, as we continue our inner work, in how to deal with such energy outside of us?

Well, My Dear Ones, the outer energy is stacking now, accumulating in a container of preparedness, not yet ready to release, but present nonetheless. Such energy pushes one more innerly than normal. This is a time of introspection and inspection of the deeper issues that have now been shown to you as most important in your individual life.

Over the past few weeks and months you have been shown what your inner work is. You have been placed in a position to do your self a big favor by paying attention to what is most necessary as far as your inner growth is concerned. Your dreams and your realities, My Dear Ones, have been pointing out your direction. The energy that you now feel, as perhaps a bit heavy, has also been accumulating and pointing you to your inner work.

I suggest that you take advantage of its slight heaviness to turn inward and do some work on your current issues, those most apparent and most pressing. Those inner issues are also related to your outer life too, and the situations you find your selves in. Inner work reflects outer life, and outer work reflects what is happening in your inner life, you see? No matter how you try to use one to escape the other so are they so connected that you cannot push one aside for the other. Everything in your life is interconnected; so do not dismiss one iota of detail that is offered to you as you go about your daily life.

Are you actively searching for signs to guide you? Are you not perceiving anything of significance? Do you desire something more apparent, more straightforward and plainly spoken? Well, I must say that what you are given is what you need and it comes in the form that is most necessary for you at this moment.

Although one person may receive a gift of knowing with undoubtable clarity, so may another have to struggle to ascertain the meaning of some vague handout of a sign. This is very natural, for your gifts are meant to teach you what you need to learn. Your process is going to be very individual, and your guidance will be placed before you in a manner that only you will understand.

If you are not seeing any signs, I contest that you are not noticing yet. And why are you not noticing? Perhaps you are not truly ready to perceive the signs, for they may shake you up too much, or they may shatter your self-illusions.

Are you truly ready for change? Have you prepared your ego for its inevitable displacement, as you will surely have to ask it to step aside, in order for growth to happen? Are you too demanding? Do you want things to happen in your way, in a manner that is conducive to your daily life, without having to step off your beaten path?

Well, I push you, ever so gently My Dears, to look outside of your known world for the signs that are there to guide you. You are being asked to go slightly astray now, from your normal well-trodden path of perceiving and receiving in an old manner. In order to allow the self to step off the old pathway must you be ready to acquiesce to something that your ego has no knowledge of. And that is why your inner work is so important.

It is necessary to become aware of your softly speaking heart, to become comfortable in the body of your inner self. Even as you have already learned to recognize your ego self, in your outer body, so is it time now to turn inward and begin to trust this inner self.

In order to more fully attain your inner awareness, and your inner knowing, you are being shown the issues that are of greatest importance. Your inner life is showing you the truth of what your outer life has been showing you for a long time now too. It is a time of building and stacking energy, culminating in a clearer understanding of your new direction if you allow your inner process of truth-speaking to show you where to go next.

Although you may feel the heaviness of the outer energy, if you go innerly you will experience the delightfulness of your own energy as it, too, is contained, building and gaining in momentum, but also motivation, creativity, clarity, and awareness. See what happens as the pressure outside begins to diffuse. You may feel an inner release, an effervescence of inner self, knowing and acceptable, once you realize that it is your own energy, and that it is fully available in so many new ways.

Lastly, I would just like to point out that as this energy shifts and turns into gently bursting release, as if a cap is being slowly removed from a bottle of bubbly liquid, so will you be offered a daring challenge. And that is what you must use your awareness to recognize, but also your inner truth and clarity, in order to know if you are ready to accept such a daring proposal. That is your challenge. Are you ready?

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message I can pass along today?

My Dear Ones, do not overexert or overstress your natural abilities of awareness, cognition, and the deeper knowing of the interconnectedness of all things. During this time of energy compilation, of stacking of necessary energy for the future, allow your natural abilities to rise with you each morning, to be present throughout your day, and to slumber with you in the awareness of your dreams. I speak today of recognition of your innate powers as being perfectly natural and acceptable to you in your daily lives.

Do not run and hide from what you learn. Do not attempt either to over evaluate or over digest, but simply allow awareness to be present in your life, existing for its ability to aid you in your growth.

I have spoken, recently, of new energies being available for growth, and such energy is ready for usage. Do not worry about having the stamina, nor the presence of physical alertness, to undertake your life issues at this time. There is plenty in store. As you take actions, now, that will further your evolution, as well as your present existence, you need not worry about having enough energy to do what you must. There is plenty of energy to assist you.

Ask and you will be granted assistance. That is the other awareness I speak of today. In allowing the self to trust innate abilities, so must you allow the self to deeply trust the process and the guidance that is available as your steps in life unfold.

Now is a time of action, partnered with the usage of innate abilities of awareness, cognition, as well as allowance of blockages to innocence of self to be removed by the circumstances and synchronicities that come to show you the way forward now. It is a time to dismantle your old ideas of the self, of old issues, and even of failed attempts to influence your self and your situation by use of your awareness. So what if you have failed in the past? What did you learn in your failure? That you tried too hard? That you were not truly trusting and available yet? Perhaps your earlier attempts to move forward in your life were based on the wrong reasons, making your deepest truths unnecessary at that time.

Now it is time to trust and act upon the deeper truths of the self, trusting your innate abilities of awareness, cognition, and knowing to show you the means to achieve growth, to reach your next step, and to reveal your true goal, as you become more trusting of the self. Each step now taken, if taken with innocent trust in the deeper knowledge of the true self, will provide you with life’s secrets.

Do you know what I mean by secrets? I do not speak of the great secrets of life and death upon that earth, or afterlife secrets, though they are equally interesting, but today I speak of your individual secrets. Only in living a life of action, trust, and innocence, based on your own inner truths, will your own secrets be revealed. You may have an inkling of your potential at the core of your deepest desire right now. But the revelation of your secrets will not be presented to you if you do not act upon your knowing and your innocence. Only in action, though you may move forward with trepidation, will your personal secrets be revealed.

Finding these secrets involves your greatest abilities to live a life of meaning, to become more fully aware, and to grow into a being who is loving, compassionate, and non-judgmental in a world dominated by judgments, definitions, and powerless structures that merely hold you stagnant, though they tower over you, exhibiting great strength and great possibility. However, it is not these structures that stand so solidly before you that contain your secrets, for they are but figments of men’s imaginations. They are but crumbling to dust as the years wear on, heavier and heavier in their meaningless dogma.

No, your secrets lie deeply inside you, awaiting excavation. I suggest that perhaps you have been digging for your treasure among the old tumbling structures, among the graveyards of decline, as expressed in your own life, and in the lives around you. When I speak of taking action and proceeding on your journey, searching for your secrets, I speak of turning inward, where everything is contained and awaiting discovery.

For today, look to your awareness of self, of inner and outer self in stable, calm balance, to show you what to do next in your life. Allow your inner self to show you something today that you have always had present and available to you, but you had simply not respected this aspect of self before. In fact, you may have found it quite disturbing or unusual, and so you neglected and dismissed it.

Take a different view of the self today, as a person of awareness, with interest in growth. Allow your self to be present in now, even while you pursue your deeper inner truths, using your awareness, cognition, and knowing of interconnectedness of all things. Find out what those abilities are trying to point out to you as you take your next step toward your inner secrets, with trusting awareness.

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have guidance for us now?

Anchor your selves in your realities, My Dear Ones. Find your balance, your equilibrium, but also your truths. Stare at your known truths, accepting them and the necessity of them in your lives. Do not dismiss what you know is true, nor attempt to disguise it from your self, for in so doing will you only prolong your agony and fulfillment of your destiny. In acceptance of self, at this moment along your path, will you begin your next step from a place of clarity and renewed awareness.

When I speak of truth I do not speak of your inner secrets, at least not yet. What I ask you to accept, as your truths are, first, the truths of that world, that reality. Where are you in your life, right now?

Give your self the opportunity to take a moment of quiet, an evening or afternoon of contemplation, as you spell out your reality in very firm and clear script. Look upon your situation in life as perfectly right and necessary. Look upon it with mature knowing and acceptance, saying: Okay, this is where I am right now. But the next statement in an evolving being becomes: Okay, so what am I going to do to change it, to move on with truth as my guide?

As you take account of your life situation in the outer world, looking at your financial situation, your relationships with those who are nearest and dearest; as you look at your self in the work place, in the grocery store, on line at the bank, ask your self to accept this person of now as the true self, for this moment.

Now connect that outer person to the inner self. Allow the big baby to step down from its archaic pulpit, ask the true inner child to trust you, and allow your heart to speak more clearly to you, as you put aside your lists and figures, and your dilemmas of falling economy and outer despair.

Ask your inner self to speak plainly to you now, as plainly as your outer self has spoken. Beside your outer truths place your inner truths, based on your deeply patient and waiting inner spirit self. Who are you inside? What is it that this inner self is telling you, right now?

Combine these two plain speaking selves. Allow them to nestle together in the footsteps of your path and, with combined effort, take your next move with this energy of clarity as your motivation. Use your truths to motivate you. But I speak of your pragmatic outer truths balanced with your deepest inner truths of character and spirit. I do not mean to imply that you have not been acting from these truths, but I fear that you have not been acting from them with awareness.

To be on your path is a process that is most necessary to recognize as perfectly appropriate and right for you, though you may feel that you are stuck on the wrong path. Only your awareness of the truths of the self will allow you to accept the necessity of the path you find your self on, and this is what I speak of today.

Are you ready to accept your current situation and your current process as the most meaningful path for you to be on, at this very moment? Stay in the moment as you observe your self. Stay in the truth of the moment as you look at your self with eyes that do not lie and eyes that soften with compassion for the self. As you look at your self in this manner may you find that what you strive for is already present in your life.

All the tools have been given. All the knowledge is present. All the abilities have been taught and learned. The only thing that is lacking is action, action based on the truth of your reality. This is the place to awaken to, and not only gain clarity on, but to fully acknowledge that it is so in order for you to be available for your next action, your next step, based in reality.

I ask that you allow your self to accept your stumbling, faltering, and weary self, as you would accept any tired traveler. But I also ask that you accept full responsibility for your journey, for your reality, and now use your combined spirit potential and your truths to lead you forward.

It is time for action now, action based on truths as they have been revealed by your inner and outer selves in consultation and decision making, based in reality. Only in basing your actions in true reality will your movements now have impact in your life.

The energy now is of such force that if you do not hold fast to your reality you may end up smothered by your fantasies again, and that is not what you want, although it may be what you need.

Contemplate that, as you go now into the current energy and into the currents of this powerful energy that has the potential to both reveal truths and to cover truths. But it depends on where you stand, facing the breeze or turning your back on it? Your choice.
