JANU: Surging forth today in the human condition is the belief that there always comes a time when the reckoning will take place. By ‘reckoning’ is meant ‘judgement day.’ But understand this, our brother: the judgement is not from outside who you are but within, and the day is today. Today being the day that you agree to it. Now, the day of reckoning, so to speak, occurs incrementally to the degree you’re open to the appraisal of your life, of your consciousness.
Now, for each one, the embrace of reckoning is tailored to their capacity to absorb understanding yet maintain integrity, sanity if you will. A better phrase might be the ‘moment of reckoning.’ Every decision, every thought, every action is subject to reckoning. And what is the source of this reckoning? It is your True Nature, your conscience, the truth of who and what you are. Not something to be feared, or avoided through fear, but to be welcomed on the path of awakening.
We speak of relationships, of associations and collaborations. This applies to your own being as well, your so-called ‘individualized identity.’ Allow moments of reckoning in your life. Welcome their clarity, for through these your decision-making improves. A life filled with these moments of reckoning is a life in freedom, clarity, balance and peace, rejuvenation, good health, and a blessing for others through service. Allowing these moments in your day takes a willingness to change, to understand from a different perspective, to explore and absorb a new understanding, to be flexible and modify your life, to grow in wisdom.
Open to a moment of reckoning, our brother, whenever it occurs to you. Namaste.

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.
