This is a question received from an individual, responded to by Janu and the Brotherhood of Light, and presented here to provide a more personal connection to these journeys. The response given is directed to that particular individual, and is presented for research purposes only.
Q: I come to the point of choosing to know who I truly am and what my function is here now.
JANU: We have this one who seeks to truly know. This seeking on her part comes at a time in her sojourn when there is need for much inner support, clarification, and strength in the grasp of her true identity or being. This one we speak of this morning embraces no denial in the sense of sweeping changes in her life. However, there is some pattern of reluctance to embrace the power of it, the magnitude of it, the sweeping changes that take place in perception and perspective and the rules or models we have chosen to engage life by.
We would ensure you, dear one, that to make this transition, if you will, into a larger view, is one that is difficult for many for there is the clutching onto the familiarity of old perceptions even though restricting and limiting the engagement of that you seek. You surround yourself with familiar symbols and articles of your family’s past, your upbringing, your previous home environments. They come to you as cultural identity for the purpose of a sense of strength of heritage, connection, and continuation. There are nuances of influence in your perception of life and the changes you seek in understanding and identification that limit you in this comfortable setting of familiarity. Are you prepared to embrace larger understanding and reality and allow these symbols to take their place in memory in the history of your experience? Examine these symbols and see if they represent this larger understanding you seek in any way that you can perceive.
We build in these sojourns such patterns of ritual ongoingness that we seem to feel that this is our identity and to let go of it is to deny all you have built, leaving you with nothing. Let us suggest that you entertain for a moment who has been doing the building and the collecting and the careful arrangements of these symbols of traditional ongoingness. It is possible to broaden your connection with that limited, though comfortable, identity and grow to a degree. There is opportunity there but it will not satisfy the hunger for quickening and awakening that lives within you and leaves its impression in the vicinity of your heart energies, you see. There are qualities you have gained in family, in support of others, and in ongoingness of love and caring for others that can survive limiting identity with old ways. You move forward, dear one, not these symbols. We understand the difficulty of embracing this perspective. But the clarity of perception of the opportunities for the larger life in this sojourn is not easily grasped when the vision is so filled with old ways, old patterns for experience.
As to who you truly are, dear one, this is what we have been alluding to. You are the daughter of a noble in the vicinity of a galactic empire of the Noweda System. You were steeped in many traditions there as well, those arising from the trappings of authority, influence and the kind of power that permeates that societal reality, you see. You are used to privileged existence and, on a traditional level of experience, expect this to be. Your departure from this series of experiences, eventually arriving in your present sojourn, was to free you from needing these trappings, free you from perceiving the full range of life from only one point of view. The traditions you have accepted for yourself in this life, and the symbols you accumulate around you, are a shadow of this prior expectancy. This is your opportunity and soul’s calling, if you will, to finally let go and emerge in a larger way of understanding and freedom to embrace the rest of life. The difficulty you find in this challenge at this time is not only from your current sojourn patterns, dear one, but from the long tradition of expectancy of privileged connection, long before.
The transition we encourage and envision for you to consider is the privileged reality of freedom to be one with all life and the privileges of the past were no freedom at all, dear one, in this larger sense. They are illusion and this is your opportunity to see illusion for what it is. It is a temporary creation for experience. The experiencer whom we address, whom you are, is not identified by the experience. Your true being is not a privileged member of an order of society or grouping of consciousnesses. Your true identity is absolute free being, larger than all of these. The choice is simple, dear one. Own it all or be owned by a part of it. This is your choice and your opportunity to breathe freely once more.
There is more than enough love in the heart of your being to survive this challenge and there are those, such as this source speaking at this moment, who join you in loving support on your adventure and celebrate in advance your freedom. No creation and no journey is greater than or more powerful or as permanent as the true being you wish to know once more. Experience these many things in your life, but need none of them. Allow this simple statement to find its way to the truth of your knowingness. It is the key for you to unlock any experience, any sojourn, any challenge. There is so much richness and love and peace and understanding and connection with the limitless beauty of life that awaits your embrace.
It is our passion, dear one, that you know the truth and find freedom through it. And you are part of the richness we have described, the beauty of life, and as we know the beauty of life so we know your beauty as well. Continue your journey, dear one. The reward is beyond description. We wish you the peace and joy of it. Namaste.
