JANU: Encouraging others to awakening by example has merit as long as the form and title of theirs is shaped by their desire and free will. So the reality of awakening as a theme need not appear as yours does, and connects better if it doesn’t. Life is more diverse than the awakening of one, and there is strength in diversity. Resilience, endurance, unending commitment, and ownership.
So what would inspire another to awaken, our brother, in their own way, in their own time? The peace, the happiness and richness of your own. The love to be seen at the heart of everything, including the overcoming of challenges and the acceptance of them. Generosity in achievements and patience with each other. Encourage people to be hopeful, to cherish new understandings and to expect more. Be pregnant with life, giving birth to life’s enrichments. Confidence that there is a future worthy of endeavor and persistence. Allowing the believing in each other and forgiving, no matter the challenge.
These are basic qualities, fundamentals of ongoing life, and part of the reason that life continues. It is allowed to. It is nourished and encouraged. It is supported. It is embraced. Being guaranteed outcomes of living takes away the wonder, the miracle of discovery, and creative freedom. Characteristics of life, our brother, are ongoing change, creativity, spontaneity, and miracles. The next breath, our brother, is no less a miracle than the birth of another, a breakthrough in understanding.
Everything in your life matters, including you. Awakening is not limited to discovery of other parts of life, but your own True Nature. For without this, our brother, what is awakening and what is the purpose? Who is doing the awakening? And why does the path of awakening even exist? You are more aware, more loving, more capable than your human consciousness currently possesses. And even your True Nature, our brother, is evolving. What better platform and foundation for exploring life and all it can be?
And it is possible to learn of, appreciate, and know the True Nature of another. Collaboration is the mark of the Family of Life. Namaste.
