Perspectives on awakening

JANU: Awakening, then, to be considered from more than one point of view. A tendency by some to think of this as ‘awakened’ or ‘not awakened.’ Limited point of view for the reality of this is a continuous process. Even from birth, you see, becoming more and more aware of the incarnate life, your surroundings, requirements for survival, relationships, what there is to enjoy and avoid. It’s all awakening, our brother. Awakening beyond the realities of the physical life is part of this as well. Awakening to identity not limited to the human experience is another adventure that’s continuous.

Some would ask, “What is reality beyond incarnate life?” As one awakens, these realities become part of the incarnate life, integrated if you will and utilized. Just as there are realities in the incarnate life that exceed each other, so it is with the subtler realities of life. Now, the cycles of life are just that, beginning and end, so to speak, with cycles of repetition and modification. What we are getting at here, our brother, is awakening includes everything, every reality, every cycle of life, and the opportunities presented by these. The perception that leaving the incarnate life is the key to awakening is a misperception. Consciousness is, whether incarnate or not. Many examples in your history, in the human history, demonstrate this. The so-called ‘great’ beings, some you label as ‘Saints,’ savants, geniuses, ‘saviors,’ even while incarnate. Other worlds have these experiences as well, even though their conditions may vary from that of the Earth. But in due course, awakening brings more and more of this into view, so a perception that the incarnate life and its current seeming abilities or capabilities somehow describe reality, the descriptions are incomplete.

Life is fluid, our brother, ever changing, growing, creating, changing from, changing to. Awakening is a growing flexibility in consciousness, in perception, in engagement, in experience. But the wisdom builds and is transferable across realities. How, then, does one pigeonhole, if you will, the reality of awakening? Rebirthing, physically, is just another opportunity for a new take on the opportunities of the past. For most, it takes many of these to find resolve to build a foundation of wisdom.

There are miracles, so-called, all around you. Many you have never heard of in this lifetime. They are not announced to the world; they just occur, when the conditions are right. Be not envious of them. Be grateful for them, for in subtler ways they are part of your life as well, you see, and are testimony to the wonders and realities of awakening to the larger life. Put your attention on what is at hand, with an open mind and heart. The destiny is the journey, our brother. Namaste.
