JANU: The Now consciousness exists in the moment. For many, this would suggest that it’s a removal from the past and the future. But in truth, our brother, it includes everything. For both the past and the future can be embraced and understood in this state of consciousness. The Now consciousness is free of recrimination, judgments, labeling if you will, preferences in understanding, and no longer owned by these patterns of life. Aware of and engaged, by choice, the true freedom to choose lives in the moment, for all others are conditioned by preferences, motivations, judgments, and the like.
When you bring your consciousness into the present, into the Now, your body responds by letting go of the patterns mentioned, which modify the health of the body. When a physician tells a patient, “You have six months to live,” that is a limitation. The physician’s opinion is based upon patterns of experience, which they expect to repeat. They do not take into account the true power and miracle of the moment when the individual is free to choose otherwise, with all the power to do so.
Virtually all of human endeavor is conditioned in this way. Humanity expects the wars, although decries them. Expects conflict, terrorism, and the mayhem that occurs each day. So what does one place their faith, their belief in: the patterns of the past, or the power of the present and true freedom to choose? For the Now seems challenged at every turn, when one considers this way to be, with the so-called reality that surrounds them. And the Now can be chosen, as can any other choice, our brother, if one lets go of being obsessed with the choices of the past.
When one chooses a new path in life, elements of the old past must be left behind, for they prevent the new choice, you see. Now let your focus be the nature and reality of the new choice, without necessarily understanding them all and not the choices of the past. Just let them be. Entering the new choice of freedom comes with the memories of the old patterns, but no longer attached to them, no longer identified with them.
In a very real way, the Now reality will seem like a new you. Realizing, of course, then, that your True Nature has always been who you are. Yes, this truly is ‘identity-shifting’ and has always been available. Leaving behind the masks of life mentioned earlier. The world can always benefit from who you truly are, far more than the masks of social consciousness. One might call this the ‘new frontier’ to be explored and mastered. For all of life is before you in a more open, liberating way to freedom.
