#376 You Are But One Breath

Dear Jeanne,
Our world is experiencing the chaos you predicted last week. There has been a devastating hurricane in Texas and the financial sector of the United States is in grave condition. This is a time for us all to make some decisions about how we can change our country, and ultimately our selves. What advice and guidance can you offer us as this energy of change continues to push us along?

You are right, My Dear Jan, change is being requested of all of you. Not only change that will protect, but also change that will transform and really make an impact around the world. This is not a coincidence that such failures upon the shores of the US are being exposed now. Structurally is that country no longer the sound and domineering strength it once was, but it crumbles at its base, revealing weakened supports, liable to collapse at any time. The hurricane you speak of is but one example of what can happen when heed is not taken to either shore up or retreat from the impact of inevitable natural disaster.

The financial situation in your country is another natural disaster, My Dears; so do not take it personally. Do you find your selves now penniless, or even simply stunned at the outrageous and irresponsible tactics taken by those whose hands are in the coffers and realizing that there is not much security in such gold? So what do you do without money? How will that country run if out of oil, gas, and money?

What about abiding by the rules of nature and allowing nature, energy, the sun and moon, night and day to once again determine your actions? You know that winter is soon upon you. Have you prepared? Or have you forgotten how to prepare? Do you simply know that you will survive because it has always been so? Well, things have already changed and they will continue to change in the US and around the world. This is a time to live an active life, to get off your high stools where you have had the privilege to sit and observe life around you for so long. Now it is time to realize that you are not in a privileged position, not an observer of life, but that you must in fact actually partake in life.

This is not only true for my many Friends and Readers in the US, my own country of origin in my last life. This is true for the advanced civilizations around the world who have lived privileged lives based on a worldwide economy that can no longer bear the weight of the needs of those privileged countries. Your needs have outpaced the world’s resources, My Dears, and this is true in so many areas.

In order to return to a pace of life that is more in sync with nature, with the tides, with the abundance of earth’s bounty (and it is truly bountiful) must you determine what is most important to you in your lives. Who are you really? Why are you there? What is your mission? Once again, I return to these basic questions of purpose for living. How can you continue to live lives of meaning if you have not truly investigated the meaning of your own existence?

I do not mean to imply that you, My Dearest Readers and Journeyers, are responsible for all the devastation upon that earth. But you are; in fact, by being part of that human race of course part of the problem. Even in your evolved state so do you perpetuate the initial injuries by not actively changing the way you do business and utilize the world’s resources.

In order for true change to happen, so must you remind your selves each day that you do not own the world, but that you are but one breath, one slight human form, one energetic being who needs that world for your very survival.

You cannot plant your self in soil that is contaminated and expect to flourish. You cannot breathe air that is putrefied and expect to have pure breath. You cannot eat and drink of earth’s bounty if you have not cared for it properly, for there will not be any. Your sustenance does not come from financial markets but from farmers’ markets and the markets that provide you with your spiritual sustenance.

In order for change to truly happen, My Dears, must you return to the earth, for that is why you are there, to experience life upon that earth. Do you wish to experience the plastic movie set of earth, where everything is unreal, distant, and untouchable because you sit upon your director’s stool? Or do you wish for real experiences of real people upon real ground that rumbles and trembles and blows apart in hurricanes? Now that is real energy of real earth; and only such real power can offer real shift!

I suggest that drastic measures may be the only means by which change can really happen. Only the most abrupt of circumstances will shake you awake enough, and I fear that you have not yet had enough shaking up. The energy is intent upon its mission of awakening.

Notice what is happening in your own lives, My Dears. Where are your own disasters and awakenings taking place? Where are your feet? Are they upon the rungs of a director’s stool, or firmly upon the ground? What choices for change are you making? Do you trust the energy to lead you correctly? I certainly would.

This time will not end softly, but firmly, with a thud. And this you must prepare for, even as you now must prepare for winter. Be one with nature, for it is trying to tell you something. Watch what is going on around you. The critters of the earth and the creatures of the sky work hard just to survive now. Observe and take action. It is your opportunity to not only change, but to become a new kind of inhabitant of that earth. Your leaders cannot do this for you. You must all do it for your selves. Then will you have the change you so desire.

Good luck, My Dear Ones. Life is very exciting, don’t you think? Abide by new laws, new thoughts, new seeing, and new actions now. Be different. Be aware. Be earth bound. Be alive upon that planet in a new way!

#375 The Buffeting Winds of Change

Dear Jeanne,
What advice can you offer us today, as we begin a new week?

Beware of the aftermath of volatile and abrupt confrontation with the possibility of change. Your job now, My Dears, becomes one of remaining calmly stable, seemingly unaffected by the world around you, yet highly alert to it as well. By this, I mean that staying calm, while storms rage all around you, is the best process to engage at this time.

The energy now will turn and turn again, shifting quite often, creating one situation that appears untenable and then quickly producing another. This is not a time to get engaged in these swiftly moving aspects of energy, but to remain calm, centered, balanced, and innerly focused.

I do not anticipate that this time of shift will subside soon, so be ready for a long process. My best advice is to keep your focus on remaining in a calm state of flux, unattached and unaffected by that which you hear pronounced, and calmly centered on your future of growth and change.

This is a time when change must be in the forefront of your awareness. This is a time when the volatility will bring you to that place that you have desired, but it will not be a smooth ride, nor will it be easy on a day to day basis. But I stress that this is the energy that will push you forward now, and it is exactly what you have desired and waited for. If you do not acknowledge this to your self, then are you not speaking honestly.

Many of you have already elected to flow with the changes in your lives and this time now will further deepen and enhance your commitments to change. Others of you who have sat upon the fence, wary of stepping onto new ground, will now be confronted with the buffeting winds of change urging you to go for it.

I can only say, again and again, that this is inevitable, this is necessary, and yes, this is even desired change. So do not fight your opportunity to be swiftly helped along by the possibilities that are offered by such volatile energy to advance change upon that earth. The times you now live in have not tasted such energy before, but the memory of such flavor remains in your knowing. For you have all had such opportunity before, when you chose not to change, but instead hunkered down and took the battering storm at your backs, as if you deserved it. But that is not the way to proceed any longer.

Times have changed greatly, My Dears, and you are asked to honestly confront your fears, both your deeply ingrained fears that prevent your actions, and your fear of change, and instead move forward now as the energy asks, again and again, for real and vital energetic choices of change. Times are different and your own inner self is awake now, more aware than ever that the old ways are no longer fulfilling. Time to take a new route, a fresh path, make a better life based on your own inner truth and not someone else’s.

Do not fear the unknown, for it does not exist. Nothing exists yet in the future. Nothing is waiting for you, except the possibility of everything. The choice is yours though. Do you go forward now, totally open, and freely aware that your decisions and choices based on truth will present you with your future?

It is choosing time now. Do you choose with trust in your self, or do you choose with fear?

#374 Invite Your Self to a Moving-On Ceremony

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message for all of us who are interested in the guidance you offer?

Do not falter in your convictions to stay upon the spiritual path though your days and nights may be fraught with disappointments and meanderings that you had not planned on. These are the challenges and the confrontations with reality that all must bear and all must accept as chores that lead to growth. I have spoken recently about the tidal wave of energy that seeks to interrupt your progress, that also seeks to shake you awake and perhaps knock you off your seat of complacency.

Do not dismiss the energy, for it carries with it always lessons to be learned. Do not hold your self too harshly accountable for the decisions you make as this energy unseats you, for it is obviously helping you to grow. The energy is asking for you to grow, to take innerly all that you have learned over the past few weeks, and to invite your self to a moving-on ceremony. It is time to underscore your truths of selfhood, to take on the mature, decisive actions that will move you on to a new place now.

Do not stand upon your path in one place any longer. Now is the time to move on, to choose your next step in evolutionary growth, whatever that may be in your life. It may entail only you; a decision to stick to your well-laid plans in spite of difficulties, back sliding, and interruptions by outside energies and others who do not comprehend your choices. Or your next move may entail a practical physical change that will outwardly affect you and others. Whatever your most necessary step is now is the time to make it, while the energy sits back a moment and watches what you decide to do.

This is the calm before the storm, so to speak. This is the utter knowing, the clarity that dawns upon you with such blatant and open insight that you cannot deny the reality of your place upon that earth. This is a time of personal revelation with utter knowing of consequences and it is up to each of you to determine how you will react to your truth being revealed to you so clearly.

I attempt now to urge you to accept your challenges with mature decision making, with truth speaking its clarity, with your heart open and ready to accept it. Base your next move on this inner truth, this inner you who so purely desires change that is focused on your inner spirit self and not on your outer projective ego self.

The energy sits back and awaits your decision, but it will not wait for long. So I suggest that you make your choices, set your plans, and determine your future; at least your most present future. The one that is right around the corner, the next few hours, the next few days, the next few weeks. Set your course, My Dears, and then stand strongly balanced in your heart-centered choice of change; firmly rooted in your convictions; standing in your truths; ready to act upon your choices.

The energy will come back upon you with a vengeance as this time of lull swiftly reverts to a time of chaos. There will be many things to confront in a few days time as this energy swirls up a storm of controversy, of delightful play, and incredible steam that will wish to play out in extraordinary ways and may knock you farther along your paths of challenge than you had anticipated. But know this, even now before the future unfolds in bizarre ways: You are safe. You are protected. You are choosing to lead a life of spirit and with inner spirit as your decision maker. Remain focused on this aspect of inner knowing self and you will do very well as things shift and become quite animated and volatile, yet also revealing of that which must be revealed in order for true progress, growth, and truth to prevail.

If you cannot accept your own truths, already so clearly revealed to you, how do you expect the world around you to accept the truths being revealed and so energetically pointed out? If each of you stays upon the path that is truly right for you, so do you energetically combat negative thinking and illusions that are daily presented. By turning your inner focus on achieving your own goals, so do you offer positive change as a new energetic component to be reckoned with upon that planet. Your life affects everything around you. By your choices do you affect how the world functions, how the world evolves, and how the world changes.

Remember, you are the choice maker in your own life and that is a most important aspect of who you are in the greater world. Be a good citizen of world change by being a good citizen of your own inner changes that are asking for your actions to be truthful, to be right, and to be clearly made for those reasons; because they are true and they are right. That’s all you need to do to move along on your path and take the next step. Walk in your truth.

#373 An Alignment That Will Aid Growth, But…

Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a message of guidance for all of us today?

Anticipate success with all of your endeavors of self. Your projects of growth and determination to evolve are well supported and heavily protected now as a new phase is upon you.

What do you mean by new phase?

I speak in astrological terms, for they are most familiar to those of you who reside upon that earth. Many of you are aware of the factors of planetary alignment and the powers of the sun and moon in conjunction with each other and other planetary objects. For now is there an alignment that will aid growth. This I have been preparing you for over the past few months as I have taught you how to interpret the energy around you and how to use it well. I continue to urge you to recognize the energy, be aware of its intensity, but do not get drawn into it, or you will be lost in it. It will consume your own good intentions, for its own purposes, leaving you exhausted and dazed.

In order to remain alert and aware during this time of alignment, must you organize your self each day, aligning your intentions with your own energy. Do not overdo or over stress, but remain cognizant of how you are feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally. Do not allow any aspect of self to react or overreact in such a manner that you deplete your energy reserves.

The outer energy is interested in stealing your energy and it will do so in quite a sneaky and underhanded way. It will try to fool you, to create an illusion that seeks to trick you into accepting the picture it presents as reality. Your awareness must stay alert and you must question everything over the next few days. Even as you are full of good energy, and feeling enlightened and positive, so must you be aware to not overdo even your enthusiasm for life.

As you feel the good positive energy that is in you and outside of you, so also be aware of other negative energy that is a necessary balance. But you do not want the negative balancing energy seeping in through your doors and windows. Seek instead to balance your lives and activities, and work and play, with your own inner calm. Seek balance with outer forces by maintaining inner stability. In this manner may you smoothly navigate this time of great energy with great success.

I do not anticipate that the negative energy will prevail, or that its illusions will be long lasting, for you are all too smart and too aware to fall for its proposals. Even if you are fooled by it, your right mind and right thinking self will rescue you pretty quickly.

So for this day, and the next few, do I advise that you fully enjoy this time of good energy. Use it well, for growth and to propel you forward on your journeys. But also be very aware that there are hungry flyers seeking sustenance and they are very tricky beings. So be aware, at all times, that even though the energy is providing you with incredible stamina in all aspects of life, so must you not overdo in any manner, or you will become fodder for such hungry energy.

That is the best advice I can offer you today. Do not be fooled by the trickster energy. Stay balanced and innerly centered. Accept and use the good energy, but reject the bad energy that rides its coattails, seeking entry and sustenance upon your eager brow. Do not feed the hungry beast, but do feed the nurturing one. You will have to decide what that means in your own life. Good Luck!

#372 Each of You Has a Choice to Make Today

Dear Jeanne,
Can you offer us some guidance today?

Do not falter in your progress by attaching to old ideas of the self. You are all on new paths now, changing every day because you are choosing to live life in a different manner now. This is your changing self who pushes for enlightenment, experience, and who is eager for new adventures, not the old self. The old self must be left behind now.

You come seeking advice on spiritual growth and revelation because your spirit draws you to seek. Do not hesitate to acknowledge this strong aspect of self, this character within who speaks so clearly at times, who allows you to grow and acknowledge the mysteries of life, the joys of life, and the interesting possibilities of life.

I am here as a guide, but all of you have within you your own guide, your own spirit who knows exactly what I know, who seeks even as I do, and who wishes to invite you to keep learning about life, even as I do. Your life is not just as you see before your eyes because your eyes do not reveal to you all that is there. Your eyes see only what you already know, but they do not see that which has not been revealed. Only your spirit can lift the veils from your eyes and allow you to see all that is truly right before your eyes.

I ask you to be daring in order to access your own me, your own inner spirit connection. I ask you to trust, to determine that yes; you are fully willing to take the journey that is proposed to you. Each of you has a choice to make today. Do you choose to dare your self, or do you choose to keep the veils in front of your eyes?

Do you desire change? In order to have access to change must you decide to accept the change that is now possible. You must dare your self to accept your choice of change. You must allow your self to take a new step on your journey. Your next step may be tiny and incremental, or it may be giant, monumental, and without a doubt earth shattering to you and others in your life. Your choice may be an inner choice, or it may be an outer choice. It may be intensely private and personal, or it may be a choice that encompasses many worlds. Your choice may be sad but necessary. Or it may be delightful and heart-flutteringly loving. Your choice may be full of fear, yet also full of courage. Your next step may lead you into the unknown, or it may lead you into the known. It may be avoidable, or it may be unavoidable, but whether clear or not, so is it necessary to make a choice today, to do something that will aid you in your growth.

There is energy to accompany you now. As I have said over the past few weeks, so must you accept this fact of energetic support. Do not fixate on it, but do allow it to be your partner, your silent partner who knows all the details but remains incognito, while at the same time powerfully present.

Know that you are supported. Know that your spiritual, evolutionary growth is desired, is anticipated, and that victory is undeniable. Know that whatever you undertake during this time of strong energetic, structured support will succeed.

The only thing lacking is your total acceptance of and trust in your self to take a new kind of journey based on your own yearning spirit for a journey that is directed from your truth. So that may be your first challenge today, to discover just what that first truth is. What is your spirit asking you to do today to stay in your place of truth?

Find your voice that speaks your truth. Stay with that voice of truth and allow your outer self to recognize this inner self who has been waiting for this opportunity to speak. This is a day for you to hear what it says. Rely on it, for tomorrow will be different. So don’t miss the opportunity to hear what your inner truth has to say to you today. It will be something quite necessary, quite enticing, and quite appropriate for where you are now and where you are going next. And then see what happens!
