JANU: Some have considered awakening as entering into a state of bliss, free of concern, quiet peace, trouble-free existence. Awakening reveals many realities, whether physical or not, filled with relationships, endeavors to understand and develop. What some call ‘magic’ is more commonplace and a way of life to varying degrees. The challenges of the physical life in some ways have their counterpart in other realities. We would have you know the so-called limitations of physical life are challenges that are understood in so many different ways when awakening, and give way to a myriad of other concerns that can be common to many worlds and species of consciousness.
Life is full, our brother. There is bliss and there is peacefulness. There is love. There is service and understanding. But these are applied in so many different ways that boredom is not an issue. Being conscious through awakening while incarnate brings into question the wisdom of applying new knowledge and understanding in ways that are harmonious with the normal flow of life, which must be considered.
What we are saying here, our brother, is that awakening exceeds projections of reality by those unaware. Some might say the demands of life are too great to take on more challenges. And for those, our brother, may they find peace in their current circumstance. But for someone who is bedridden, meeting their needs fundamentally, has a world view of their life based on their circumstance. But moving into mobility, as the nature of life beyond their confines, is life changing. Their life is fuller, with different challenges and opportunities and associations and countless discoveries.
Awakening has rewards, responsibilities, capabilities. The decision is to be made, whether to continue as you have or become something more and see everything you have known in a new way. Light-heartedness, commitment, and engagement, confidence, courage, and changes. It is not a journey you take alone. Your True Nature is your anchor, your center, and who you are. Awakening is a larger life, our brother, and includes all you have known and more.
The focus this evening is to grow into the reality of awakening. What this includes is your choice, the choice of all that you are. Namaste, our brother.
