JANU: The potential of Life is enormous. Being conscious as more and more of Life is part of the process of awakening. In the current incarnate condition of consciousness, for most, the direct experience of life is perceived as physical life. Lip service is paid to the unknowns of being. Many religions try to describe this, but there’s a vagueness about it.
On our journeys, the word ‘our’ refers to the human consciousness and identity as well as the True Nature, the True Nature being the so-called soul or larger being that survives incarnations and is conscious of more of life than the human personality. Conscious union, individually, has its unique life patterns as part of the process of desire by the incarnate consciousness to reunite or become one with the larger identity. The process is described as that which affords continuity and non-interference with a wise and loving pattern of awakening. Integrating a larger consciousness with the incarnate life patterns unfolds in a way that brings enlightenment to both incarnate and spiritual elements of being. Both evolving together in the direction of oneness, fulfilling opportunities of potential; therefore evolving in harmony with life.
Patience means moving in harmony with the natural order which takes all the patterns of life, of all of life, into consideration, so that Life benefits on its path of realization of potential. So, movement takes place from individual identity towards unlimited identity, or universal consciousness. Not to be rushed by unwise desires, uncontrolled desires, but allowed to unfold with patience, confidence, faith in reality, and a love of Life. So, walk the journey of being conscious as more and more of life. Namaste.

As this is the basic premise of all I have presented on this website, there are lots of background sources to investigate, if you choose, in whatever fashion suits you. An identically named journey from 2019 offers a slightly different take on the idea, as does Progress on the human journey of awakening from 2015. For further background, the reader may also wish to check out the page entitled Awakening to the Larger Life, which consists of various links to collections of journeys having to do with awakening.
