JANU: For this morning’s journey, let us agree to the reason for awakening, a purpose from the human perspective. And that is part of what can be called ‘true power,’ which has nothing to do with self-aggrandizement, attention, manipulation of others, or anything of that nature. What it has to do with, our brother, is being a conscious part of the power of life itself, requiring nothing from that it serves, and allows all life to be. The joy in it is the realization that all of life is enhanced, facilitated, respected and honored, and benefited. When you are in the flow of True Power, one requires in no way any attention or credit personally. True Power is a service reality, a giving reality, a contribution. The reward is that life is served and continues and blossoms and expands.
Being one with life means that your consciousness, your expansion, your vitality, everything that you are is enhanced through the oneness of life. No longer do you compare the power of one to another, one circumstance to another. There is one True Power, without beginning or end, that requires nothing of you. Allow your consciousness to expand in this way. The human consciousness can evolve into this and evolve is the word here, the reality.
Awakening is powerful indeed, the power of freedom, the power of connection, the power to be vitally at one with the flow of life. No longer concerned with how you appear to others, but the loving flow of life for others. False power is self-destructive, in the sense that it isolates from what we speak of, for its nature is taking not giving. The flow of life is only giving, and receiving. This is balanced reality. The flow of life is always such. Allow your awakening to have a theme of balance, giving and receiving, that enriches life.
Loving oneself in the true sense is not selfish but self-fulfilling, for it enables and ennobles, inspiring others into their freedom. True power, our brother, a theme for living and awakening. Namaste.
