JANU: Breaking free of the limitations of pre-patterning is part of the nature of these journeys. As a marionette’s strings are pulled, these pre-patternings tug at you, influence your choices, preferences, and desires. Pre-patternings are part of the natural reality of being imbued with past experiences, relationships, tragedies, and success. Breaking free of these is in the sense of owning them, no longer controlled by them, in deference to your True Nature. Identification with these, mostly unconsciously, is a box of experiences that seems as your whole world. A difficult task for many, to let go of all they have seemed to have known, but journeying into the larger life makes this do-able, if you will.
The journey today is into the freedom of being, not so much continued pre-patterning but recognizing patterns and their alternatives. These tell a story of life, which is part of its richness, but the identifications with these experiences must be seen for what they are, freeing you to move in and out of these as you choose. The journey into the larger life is still the exploration of patterns of life, but in a different way.
You ask, “How does one identify with who they truly are?” By listening, our brother, to the voice of your True Nature. We are not speaking of words here, but perception. Freedom to be whatever you choose, in the manner you choose, to the degree and the duration of your choice.
These journeys, and others like them, are a beginning. Open to inner guidance, consciousness, and conscience. Allow your relationship with life to not be defined only by circumstance and the examples of others. When observing society, choose to understand what is at the core, what is behind, what is the motivator of everything, without preference, predisposition, or judgement. All of life is wondrous, but the expressions of it vary greatly. The pre-patterning that matters is who you truly are, what you truly are, the truth of your being. Namaste, our brother.

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.
