JANU: Pairing up, then, has to do with connection. How does one consciousness connect with another? It is by means of common interest and compassion. Why does one care for another? And not for another? It has to do with that which binds a family: a sense of being part of each other, connected, and over time a history of relationship. Some encounters remind one of these feelings, these times, and there is a natural motivation to feed and nurture these connections.
You ask if one can turn that attention to oneself to find peace, confidence, and connection with who they are? The answer is yes, our brother. Accomplishing this to some degree revitalizes compassion and connection with others. For most, these connections are personal. To establish them with strangers is a challenge. The larger life of consciousness provides perspective on doing just that. So, loving one’s self is a product of understanding who you are, knowing who you are, remembering who you are. Your True Nature is part of this, for there is the wisdom, the memories, the understandings, the history of being, of countless encounters, associations, and performance.
This understanding, this connection is beyond words. They limit you and channel understanding into limited venues. They are poor substitute for direct experience. Allow memories to blossom, re-establish themselves in the consciousness. They bring understanding with them. Do not filter them with words. Choose to know directly. Allow this richness to flow freely from the core of your nature and be, once again, who you are.
Your True Nature is an expression of life, unique yet one. Understand others in this way. Namaste.

A beginning understanding of this was posted in Jan. 2016: Experiencing who you truly are.
This is a series exploring the associations and collaborations possible through awakening to the larger life. These are my experiences but it is hoped that these will inspire you to take your own journeys of awakening and exploration. Awakening II Set 30 contains all prior attunements in this series.
