Dear Jeanne,
Do you have a note of guidance for today?

Do not get caught by what swirls around you. Do not take it in to your energetic being, for then will it not only inhabit your inner space, but it will also drain you of much needed inner calm energy. You need that energy in order to do your work upon the self; so do not expend it by giving it away to the first buyer. Your energy is necessary for you alone. It is not to be used to fuel others, nor is it a commodity to trade upon the Stock Market, where crows and vultures sit and wait for slip ups in your awareness. Do not become fodder for energy drains. Do not allow your attention to slip from your focused footpath. Watch where you place your feet, where you lay your eyes, and who you speak to now. For energetically, is there a rash of hungry beings in human form, and in energy form, who are seeking to take advantage of the flurry of activity that precedes a great change. This is the energy of now. Change is upon that Earth, sweeping in, and the time of now is the bristling energy that knows there is little time left to make a killing before a great collapse.

Do not get involved in such energy, for it will rip your calm from you and send you skyrocketing, only to fall spinning to Earth at a later date. There is no gain in such frenzy, only insatiable greed that will neither find its hunger satisfied nor will it store anything for later, but leave merely dry bones in its wake. This is certainly not the time nor the energy to gain anything from. But it is the time to turn your back, and stay protecting your inner truths from those seeking tasty morsels of energy.

Do not allow greed, in any form, to enter your field. Protect the energy you now own, as you would protect your own innocent child from harm. Maintain your awareness of the energy around you at all times. Keep in your knowing that it is dangerous to engage in, but also keep in your knowing that it seeks your participation. So be careful!

This time of energy hunger, and subsequent energy drain, will remain until it has spent its own burst of frenzy. This will happen outside of you, but you may feel the reverberations in your own life, and in your inner work. Continue to turn inward, and engage in that energetic work, rather than turn outward and engage in that hunger, for if you do then will you too suffer collapse, and that, My Dears, is neither necessary nor truly helpful. At all times, stay focused. Go innerly, and avoid the distractions that may present themselves as utterly enticing. Believe me, they are anything but!

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

Be conscious now of your selves in two worlds, that of the every day reality, and that of your spirit. Maintain your balance, even during times of stress, transition, and abrupt and unexpected change. Much that is unforeseen will come now to interrupt the flow that you seek to inhabit and maintain. This is inevitable; so keep that in mind as you maneuver your way through the energetic turbulence that does seek to enlighten you. For that is the purpose of turmoil, you know. It seeks to wake you up and guide you in a new direction.

Do not allow it to thwart you from your direction, or pull you off your path of spirit, for that is its biggest challenge and desire and, if it succeeds in doing that, so will it feast upon you for many days. Watch your self. Remind your self that, although attempts in the world around you to keep truths hidden, and to promote falsehoods will continue, so will those attempts begin to fail, and life, as you know it around the world, will begin to fall and eventually collapse under the unstable structures that have been falsely constructed. You will discover that governments have offered plans of solidity that are nothing more than card houses. Watch how a mere puff of truth revealed will knock them down, as if a tornado had whirled through. Although this destruction is coming, do not lose faith in the new regimes that hope to follow such utter destruction. For there is much hope embedded in the true hearts of many who seek only good stability, and speak in terms of reality with blatant truth on the tongue.

In your personal lives, is it of utmost importance that you continue your work on disengaging from the desires of the ego. For the ego is the root cause of destruction to come, economic, environmental, and societal. This may appear gradually, or it may come with a mighty blow, but it is up to those who are aware to listen to the voice of truth that says: This was inevitable!

In your own life, look for reflection of devastation in areas where this knocking down of houses of untruths is necessary. Accept entry into your own world of truth, as a warrior does, with bravery, with your impeccable inner spirit taking the first step through the door that the winds of change blows open for you. For although you may wish to look outside of you for all signs of what I speak of, so also know that this time of change is meant for you, specifically. Each and every person upon that Earth now, during this grand time of culmination and shift, is being asked to go innerly, and dismantle the remains of your inner battle grounds, resolve your issues, and work now towards becoming impeccable warriors of inner change. With your intent placed firmly on your inner work will the change happening outside of you but mirror your inner work. It will guide you if you allow it to reflect your inner discoveries and your inner conflicts. Watch the outer world for what you must do in your inner world. That is how to utilize the energy of now.

Maintain your normal lives. Do not attempt sudden change simply out of fear, but allow your inner work to notify you when it is time to change. Do not listen to others, for that is what has gotten you in to such a state of turmoil. Disenfranchise your self from the Status Quo, and you may have greater opportunity to see and hear the truth beneath the lies now being propagated.

As you remain focused on your ego work, so will you begin to understand how the world has arrived at this place in time because of ego-driven enterprises and desires for power. As truths outside of you are revealed more and more over the coming months, look for breakdown within your own ego, and accept, with gratitude, all that is revealed. This shedding of old guards at the doors of your flimsily constructed house of cards will allow for fresh air to blow through, and aid you in your growth.

Your house of cards may be coated with quite a strong barrier, allowing it to be strong and sturdy for many years, but underneath, if you read what is written on the cards, will you discover that they were not written by you, but by others; and they are not true anymore, though they may have held up for quite a long time. As the hard crust of lacquer chips off those cards, and you see clearly what is really written there, so will you also see that what you thought were strong walls of concrete are but thin walls of lies and untruths that you no longer need or accept. Instead of reading and speaking your old scripts about your self, live fully your new truth-speaking spirit self now. Live this true self to the fullest, and offer this aspect of you to the world.

As many of you do offer your changed energetic selves to the energy around you, so do you offer the opportunity for that change to spread far and wide, and it will have impact, especially if you remain focused on change at all levels, and actually accept that you are different now, your world is different, and the world around you desires to be different as well. Your energy affects all other energy. Keep this in mind at all times as you continue to do your work.

Don’t you see how the energy of those in power affects you on a personal level? Is that not example enough of energetic persuasion? Take back your own power of energy now, and shift into energy of awareness, and use it for change, for good, and for growth of self, and of planet. Thank you for participating in this message of change. It is all I ask of you, My Dear Friends and Companions, to please take this journey of change with me. You will not regret it for a moment! I love you all for your bravery, your trust, and your gentle hearts. Go and do the work of your inner warrior, and allow this new self to emerge, more fully present in now!

NOTE: Although this at first appears to be a rather alarming message, Jeanne is asking us to turn our attention always to our inner work, even though she is also stressing the crumbling of the outer world, as we now know it. I channel most often from visual images. I experience almost movie-like pictures, very clearly, that translate automatically, without conscious thought, into words on the page. Today, the two visuals that I saw most poignantly, over an over again, were the house of cards fluttering into a dustless heap, and auras, our own energy surrounding us, going beyond our physical bodies. If you have watched the talk given by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor that I posted last night, you may gain a clearer perspective on what your own energetic field, or aura, really means as related to all other energy around you, since she explains it so well in her description of her disintegrating physicality. So although today’s message may set off a lot of stressful wonderings about the truth of the inevitable in the world outside of us, it also reminds us to feel, protect, and be concerned about our own energetic output. By focusing on our inner work, listening to our own truths, we open the door to a greater awareness of ourselves as energetic beings, allowing for the collapse of the left brain and the opening up to the incredible offerings of the right brain, as Dr. Jill so eloquently describes it. I hope my comments are helpful.

Keep turning inward.

Most Affectionately,
Jan

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

Continue your heart-centered work on the self, for this is the means to change. Do not get too drawn by the foibles of the world around you, or the rants of those in power who seek but more power. Disturb not your quiet reverie, but remain aware that work on the self will lead to greater accord in the world outside of you. For how can the problems of the world be solved if the individual does not understand the meaning of truth as related to the core of the self? There will not be compromise until there is total access to truth. This is true for the self, and this is also true for the world.

It is by no means a simple task to access truth, nor is it easily accepted once it is revealed. All of this involves work that may not be quite as easy as you think. Do not become discouraged, but trust your journey of self-exploration, and accept your truths as they are revealed to you. You know they are true, yet do you resist them. But that will only hold you back. You are not supposed to be in competition with your self, or another. You are there in order to grow, and to evolve into spirit energy. How will you be able to achieve this, if you constantly compete with those closest to you, and if you refuse to accept the greater truths that are constantly being revealed to you as you do your inner work?

Does it hurt so to accept your faults, your failings, and your frailties? Yes, I know it does, but once you accept them are you allowed to move on to learning something new. Otherwise will they remain to bother you, and get in the way more often until you finally acknowledge their presence and own them, knowing they are true. Perfection does not exist, within the human form; so don’t even think that you are near perfect. No one is! All of you have work to do, and I urge you to continue doing this work of the self.

Abide by The Rules of Life as I have laid out before. Abide by your own new rules of living a simple life, or as simple as you possibly can, depending on your circumstances. Do not judge the efforts of others. Do not disturb your own work by looking at what others do, but remain turned inward, and let others do their own work without your interruption, your energetic attention turned upon your self and not upon others. Do not waste your energy by getting drawn too far outside of you.

If you look at another and find their actions disturbing, if you find that you judge others more often than not, then is it time to turn the cameras on your self, and look for those qualities you judge in others in your self. For you will truly find them alive and kicking inside you as well. This is how you learn what your trials and your inner turmoils are, by noticing them first in others. Do you see laziness, greed, gluttony, meanness, and self-righteousness in others? Do you see stupidity, loss of trust, and downright blindness in others? Well, look for those qualities in the self, for they most surely exist.

Allow your ego dismantling to proceed now in this questioning, mirroring manner. Study your disgust of others, the disturbing activities all around you that bother you so heartily, then turn inward, and truthfully find those same aspects in the self. This is brave work to do. This is work that asks you to admit to every human frailty within the self, rather than assign it to others you deem more appropriate. Do not judge others unless you are ready to judge your self for the same act.

This process will enable you to further tear down the walls of the ego. This process will offer access to the truths of the self, and will also allow for your innocence to emerge as you shed the weight of the world’s problems and allow your own bare, essential, and honest truths to be fully revealed and honored, as part of the self. Cleanse your self of your need to look for your problems in others. Turn the mirror upon your self, and look in it squarely, with open eyes, and ask the person before you, “Who am I?” You have yet to find out who you truly are. This is always so, for work on the self is an endless process, not toward perfection, but toward truth. And that, My Dears, is what I suggest you remain focused on, at all times. Do not flagellate or abuse the self. That is not proper, or kind to do, no matter what is revealed. Respect the self at all times for the journey thus far taken. Absolve the self of all uncomfortable truths as they are revealed, without compromise. Then, with full acceptance of the role you have played, move on with that truth in your pocket, a reminder of your journey, and a reminder of your imperfections. For you too have had your trials and your tribulations, and they are but reminders that you are on a human journey now, and you are subjected to experiencing all the human properties in order to learn, and to evolve.

Continue to learn from the mistakes you make. Continue to learn from the questions you pose to your self. Continue to seek clarity of self, and purpose for that life you now live. But remember, your purpose may not be fully revealed until you have cleared the path to the truths that lie blocked and, as yet, unrevealed. Good Luck! Much awaits. That I can attest to!

NOTE: The Rules of Life, mentioned above, are in the sidebar on this channeling page under Guidance.

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

Continue to learn the difference between the inner self and the outer self; the spirit driven self, and the ego driven self. Who is making your decisions? You are seeking to become spirit driven; your decision center to become your heart center; and your outer ego self to become formed and prepped for less participation in matters of importance as related to your journey through life. Of course, as always, I state that, yes, your ego is absolutely necessary for life upon that planet, but it is also not necessary in many ways for survival of another sort. Your destiny is not to enlarge the ego, but to enlarge the spirit self, so that your decision making center shifts to this place of right knowing. This will enable your actions to become actions of heart, and of heart knowing, driven by spirit, and with intent of purpose directed from this inner center of calm and clarity.

Determine, and question, who speaks most often, your ego or your inner self? Become aware of who is your guide these days as you attempt to gain balance in your life. Who do you allow to be heard most often? Who do you pay attention to? And who do you follow with your actions and your deeds?

Detachment from the desires of the ego is the next step in your awareness training. I have spoken often of this aspect of the self, yet have I perhaps not asked for great effort to seek detachment from this big self. It takes a lot of work to detach from the desires of the ego. For the ego is hungry, both literally and metaphorically, for much that the world around you offers. It is focused on all the goodies, and all the riches, yet does it not see what the spirit sees, and this you must keep in mind. For the ego sees only what is right before its eyes, and only what it can touch, taste, and smell. But it cannot find its way to what the spirit sees and knows is also right there before its eyes.

When I ask for detachment in order to enhance your spiritual experiences upon that Earth, do I ask you to release your self from the desires of the ego. Begin to realize that survival upon that planet now requires this of you, but so does spiritual growth require this. Simplicity is now called for, as life changes greatly. You will discover, soon enough, that your practices in ego detachment will serve you well in the coming months as the world goes through some great changes.

There will be plenty of opportunity to practice detachment of ego, but why not get a head start by preparing for what is to come. Do not only simplify your life in a physical and proprietary manner, but do so in a spiritual manner as well. You do not need to be so attached to the greedy wants of the ego. Of course, I speak of ego greed in relative terms, for all of you do not have big greedy egos in the sense of over doing any thing, yet do you have egos that are focused on that world in some manner, and this is what you must seek to calm down.

The ego must begin to learn calm complacency in a world that is changing. The ego must learn that it is not the most important aspect of the self, but only a partner on a journey that is ultimately about spirit. The ego is necessary and important, especially in the early years of life as it learns how the world works, but eventually is it time to shift it to the back seat of your vehicle as you allow your spirit self to take over. It is time now to shift in many ways. Begin by using a new fuel in your vehicle. Allow your spirit self to determine what is most appropriate for its needs. Your vehicle does not need to be so big and cumbersome because you do not need to transport a big ego around anymore, nor does the world support such ego driven vehicles anymore either. Allow your spirit driven vehicle to become your focus now. Allow your innocence, and your balanced self to determine how you will drive, what you will drive, and who will drive. Of course I mean this metaphorically, but also I mean this literally! Get it?

Seek a new balance. Understand how your ego speaks to you. Listen to what you want, and what you spend your time on, your money on, your leisure on. Then determine who it is who runs your life, your decision making, and your desires. Is the ego most often in control? I know this is the biggest challenge in that life to get a handle on and gain balance on because the ego is so necessary, yet is it not, and this you must find out for your self.

So today, I advise questioning the ego self. Do this all day. As you find out who really drives your vehicle, your self, so will you discover just how much of the world you need to engage in. You will then be able to determine what is most important for your life to be pleasant, comfortable, profitable, and enjoyable, yet also spiritually centered and balanced. With the ego in the back seat will things begin to change. If you can do this on an individual level, and make changes in your own life that are based on a new reality, so can things in the world around you begin to change. Imagine if everyone practiced ego detachment, and acted from a place of balanced spirit self. Then things could really change. There would be quite a lot that would be different as all that the ego sees would disappear from view, and with new eyes would emerge new sights and new opportunities. Imagine the possibilities that life would offer then. Everything would change environmentally, politically, economically, and creatively, as the worldview would be totally different.

So, it might not be such a bad idea to question the ego self more often now. Begin a new trend in ego deflation, and see how that affects worldwide inflation. You might be surprised at the solutions you come up with to solve some of the world’s problems if you can shift your decision making center to your heart, for your self and your community.

Dear Jeanne,
If you were to follow up on yesterday’s message, what would you advise us to do today?

Though you may read and forget the greater part of my messages, for as each day arises do I pass along new information, so do not forget the most basic of principles as you take this evolutionary journey you are now on. Do not forget to reassert your self upon your path each day, and even often throughout your day, if that is necessary. Remind your self each day that this life you now live is your awakening life. Remain steadfastly committed to growth, inner growth. Solve the riddles of who you are now first; and then solve the riddles of who you once were, in previous lives, so that your greater journey may be fully comprehended, and your life now may be integrated into your evolution. But this time, take your journey with a new awareness. For even as Buddha did take his journey with awareness, so did he offer himself the opportunity to evolve, finally. The greatest teachers upon that Earth did and do attain the attainable. By this I mean, that what may seem impossible for you to do is, of course, possible. As I repeatedly say: Everything is Possible! By this I mean Everything! Do not place the self too far below the great teachers, but do not either place the self beside them. Remove the debilitations of the ego, and simply live a life that is aware, seeking, and unafraid to take the journey you have presented to your self.

You are fully capable of attaining what others have attained, for your greatest instructors have been but men and women like your selves. If I, as Jeanne Marie Ketchel, could solve my earthbound cycle, so can any of you. I was not anyone special, nor was I especially confident of my abilities. Always though, did I seek mastery of all that I chose to engage in. Certain things resonated so deeply that I could not dismiss them from my life, but had to engage them or I would have remained unfulfilled.

Even as I often chose to partake in activities and decisions not necessarily conventional, so was it with purposes of growth, and I knew my choices fully resonated with my energetic self. Too often do you dismiss the energetic self who speaks up and pushes you to do something unusual, or out of the ordinary. But it is time to listen to that inner self who knows!

If you will listen now, not with your head and your ears, but with your heart, so will you understand what your inner self is trying to say to you. Achieve your lifetime goal, this time around, by paying attention to the inner voice most fully engaging in a seeking life; and also by allowing, and trusting, that the guidance is available for you as you take your journey.

If you remain open to the suggestions of your knowing inner spirit, and keep your innocence available to you, so do you offer your self good grounding for this journey you are so eager to take. But you must remember, at all times, but especially when things get tough, that you are on a journey; that you are being offered help along the way; that it is important to flow with what life offers and, most of all, it is most helpful to open the doors of your trusting heart and allow your self to fully take your journey, seeking your resonance as you go.

Remember, your resonance is heart-centered, and heart-guided. It may surprise you because often your resonance has not been felt before or heard before; and where it points you may be absolutely unexpected, but equally undeniable. Open your heart now to the experiences of your life. If you have kept the door to your heart-centered energy closed and locked, now is the time to unlock it, and push open the door. Feel the energy of this most vital organ begin to resonate with that energy, that vibratory energy I spoke of yesterday. Feel it stirring, and allow it to come awake and alert now more often. Allow it to point out your way. Allow it to take you where you have not dared to go. Allow it to take you to the unexpected places where life, energy, and the opportunity for evolutionary growth await. But most of all, trust this organ, this heart, that hums and vibrates your inner song, the song of the spirit, of pure energy, and of the evolved you. This is your center; this is your true self of innocence and maturity. It is your guide and your teacher, but also your student who must begin now to have experiences of all that has been learned. The student who never leaves the classroom, to put the lessons to test, is but a student for life, rather than life itself. Become life itself! Go out now with your heart leading, and take on life in a different manner. Allow your heart to lead and guide. Listen to what it is saying, and where it is suggesting you should go. Allow your self this opportunity for growth.

Perhaps it leads you deeper into your self? Perhaps it dares you to go out into the world? Perhaps it pushes forcefully, or nudges gently? No matter how your heart urges you, so does it ask you to trust it, and to allow your self to accept the task it poses. For it does want you to grow, to evolve, and to fully complete your journey, but now with resonance as your guide. And that can only come from inside you. You know what you have to do. Go do it!
