The month of January is named after the Roman god Janus, the guardian of gates and doorways. In ancient Rome, the doors of temples dedicated to Janus were opened in times of war and closed in times of peace. Janus was depicted with two faces: one looking toward the past and the other toward the future, symbolizing transition and choice.

Reflecting on January as the first month of the year, and therefore numerically aligned with the number one, this symbolism becomes especially meaningful. I also received insight regarding the significance of today, January 11, 2026. Numerologically, 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 equals 4. The number four is often represented by four lines forming an open square or box. This box symbolizes containment, structure, and choice.

As co-creators with God, we are each given a living box of experience. We decide what we place inside it. Some will fill their box with heaviness, fear, resentment, or old wounds. Others will choose clarity, creativity, and lightness. The year 2026 itself carries the vibration of a new beginning, marking the start of a fresh nine-year cycle. Each cycle of nine offers an opportunity for growth, maturation, and conscious LOVE creation.

My invitation to you is to declutter old paradigm thinking (stinking thinking) and consciously choose what you will carry forward into this next nine-year cycle. Ask yourself honestly:

Do I want to keep my box filled with the weight of the past and carry it forward for the next nine years?
Or
Am I willing to clear space and begin again with new visions, projects, and possibilities aligned with the Golden Age?

January 11 offers a doorway into your inner temple of perspective. You can seal the lessons of 2025 with peace before the Spring Equinox, or you can allow the doors of division, fear, guilt, and shame to remain open, continuing an inner state of conflict. As winter invites inward reflection and hibernation, it asks us to reassess what we value. What you value becomes your value.

Your attitude creates a field around you that others feel and respond to. When you feel light, others recognize your light. When you carry unresolved heaviness, judgment, anger, or inherited burdens that deny your true nature, you become weighed down, like a beast of burden carrying loads that were never meant to be yours.

As co-creators, we are being asked to prepare for a new journey into the Golden Age. Do not place yourself in a box of regret, missed opportunities, or obligations imposed by others. Guard your inner temple now as a sovereign being. January no longer belongs to Janus or empire-bound symbolism, but the reclaimed meaning of this doorway reminds us that living with two faces to please others or compete for approval is no longer necessary.

We are free to choose wholeness, authenticity, truth and peace.
Therefore with sovereign clarity, I affirm the following:

I AM sovereign and no longer a beast of burden for others or false systems.
I AM grounded daily in my body and steady in my observations of life unfolding.
I AM the wise agent of my attention and the guardian of my inner gate.
I AM safe to release and forgive what does not belong to me.
I FEEL sovereign in declining offers or contracts without apology.
I FEEL peace as a conscious choice rather than a delayed reward.
I FEEL the freedom that comes from releasing outdated emotional weight.
I FEEL ease in allowing life to move through me naturally. Nature is my nature.
I ACT in truth and authenticity and allow my actions to propel me forward.
I ACT with discernment as I step into a new cycle of creation.
I ACT without dragging the past behind me.
I ACT in alignment with the future I am building.
I LOVE from the wisdom within my own heart, beyond false hierarchies of power now crumbling.
I LOVE myself enough to release comparison, competition, and borrowed expectations.
I LOVE with clarity, honoring both connection and healthy boundaries.
I LOVE my becoming with patience and compassion.
I SPEAK truth with clarity and calm authority.
I SPEAK boundaries with ease and without guilt.
I SPEAK to my soul with honesty and respect.
I SPEAK only what aligns with peace, integrity, and oneness.
I THINK clearly and recognize illusion without engaging it.
I THINK with perspective that honors both insight and discernment.
I THINK beyond old paradigms and inherited limitations.
I THINK in alignment with truth rather than fear or shame.
I INNERSTAND the rhythms of my mind, heart, body, and spirit.
I INNERSTAND presence over obligation and release the need to please others.
I INNERSTAND my choice to keep all bodies light as I honor my becoming Christ conscious.
I INNERSTAND myself as a conscious participant in the next nine-year cycle, and I bring it full circle by saying, “I AM READY.”
ALMIGHTY I AM
ALMIGHTY I AM
ALMIGHTY I AM
