Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, co-existence, destiny, evolution, larger life, self-realization

JANU: How is it, then, that humanity needs encouragement to embrace the larger life of which the Earth life is a part? It is the nature of evolution, our brother, that element of life that is subject to so many influences yet, at the same time, has a destiny. This is not just a time/space issue, you see, or influence. But one must consider from the larger point of view the countless elements of existence that touch each other. The destiny of any species, and its evolution, does not occur in isolation. The inspirations that we offer are part of this larger tapestry of life, not the only influence or inspiration but part of many. As many individuals that exist, whether conscious incarnate or not, there are constant elements of evolution at play. Even a passing thought, our brother, of interest plays a role. These journeys we take and have compiled are only part of a larger movement of life, and even they are created by so many influences, beings, circumstance, interactions.

So, describing awakening, evolution, and destiny in words is futile. Even the perception of these is limited. So the question becomes: why proceed? Because these elements of life, our brother, are part of the magic that is life and consciousness is raised in so many ways. So compare not any contribution to the raising of consciousness to any other. You proceed because it serves life, without requiring to see the whole picture, you see. The whole picture exists, and is evolving, but each piece of the puzzle is as important as any other to complete the picture. Everything is of value.

The larger life is not defined by time/space. That is only part of it and it all coexists and is one. It is difficult for the human oriented consciousness, conditioned by society, to see everything as of equal value. Learn to perceive, to appreciate the value of any part of life on its own merit, without comparison. A peaceful way to live, free of judgement, condemnation, diminished value. Everything matters, our brother, at all times. On this foundation, explore life, every journey, every encounter, every endeavor. 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.

An approach to engagement of opportunities

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

allowing, awakening, integrity, opportunities

JANU: The phrase this evening, the theme, is looking directly into the eye of each opportunity. Now, opportunities on these journeys are contact, engagement with many parts of life. When embracing or looking into the eye of an opportunity, whether another life or part of the structure of life, the gaze of your attention is not to penetrate or be forceful in any way, but to be alert and allow the truth of each existence to be as it is. Gentle honesty and patience without fear or forcefulness. What you present is the truth of who you are and life responds in kind. This sets the stage or the atmosphere for the exchange of understanding and experience. Looking opportunity in the eye, so to speak, is a candid and honest point of view. Allow opportunity to reveal what it will. There are no secrets, but there is integrity.

For this evening’s journey, there is an opportunity to experience a Council of Elders as they consider our journeys of association and collaboration. They meet you eye to eye, with their honesty and integrity, and they welcome your participation. Our journeys are not the first they’ve considered, and they are aware of compatibility with others who journey and are considering opportunities of mutual engagement.

Be not concerned whether your peers understand you or not. They have their destiny as well. The most you can do or be is true to your own. Life is aware of all destinies, our brother, and wastes no opportunities. Be alert to these associations. Namaste.

A moment of reckoning

Comments Off on A moment of reckoning

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, Individuality, integrity, sanity

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.

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, connection with life, diversity, magic of life, the True Nature

JANU: We are summoning, if you will, the greatness of life as expressed through the human journey. Our goal this evening is to connect with and, for many, re-connect with the greatness of the human consciousness, the human spirit if you prefer.

When connecting with any of the elements of life, meaning the expressions, the consciousness of another, what is it that you see? Is it that which initiates, discovers, finds value in everything? Or is the mundane your primary perception? The human spirit or consciousness is with unlimited diversity, not only of expression but of response to the experiences of life, the interactions, the “unfoldments.” Opening to this, our brother, reveals associations and collaborations, not just with another human being but other beings as well.

These journeys we are taking have this opportunity to perceive the seeming magic of life and know it. Experiencing the living presence in all of life is to experience your own. Words do not capture this. Thinking does not capture this. Love captures this.

The experience is a growing intimacy with the life in everything. No longer the aloof observer forming opinions, appraisals of varying importance or significance. Much of life, our brother, has this intimacy with you. More than you have with your own being. Yet, as your True Nature becomes your experience and your identity, the intimacy returns.

Allow yourself to become intimate with another in the sense of connection. The deeper this becomes your experience, you know who you are. See beyond the facades, the patternings, the limited identities. Be intimate with the quiet truth of everything. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Awakening: a series

awakening, larger life, metaphysics

JANU: We have been establishing then a baseline for understanding awakening and the experiences that ensue. We would conclude, at this time, this phase of this series, to begin again in due course, taking these to a new threshold having more to do with associations with others and the wide ranging endeavors, projects if you will, that are employed in the larger life. That will be our focus in the new series. Thank you for your commitment to these. More to come, our brother. Namaste.

This is a series exploring the process and experience of awakening in a direct and organized manner. It is hoped that these will inspire you to take your own journey of awakening. For previous entries, see right sidebar.

Awakening 55: Be all you can be

Comments Off on Awakening 55: Be all you can be

Awakening: a series

awakening, choices, human potential, perspective

JANU: The purpose of this series is to alert and inspire awakening for humanity. Now, understand this, our brother: awakening occurs whether focused upon it or not, aware of it or not, but it is a process that can be accelerated to varying degrees.

Understand this: the human consciousness journey is not a linear one. Life is not linear. It is greatly varied, simultaneously, and movement through it and with it is as well. One can be left to the seemingly random or sporadic occurrences of moments of awakening, triggered by events or insights, observations. Or, as with any focused endeavor, move more fully into awakening. There is no point of demarcation from ‘unaware’ to ‘aware.’ It is a process to be determined solely by the True Nature or in combination with the human identity and consciousness in a more deliberate relationship.

There are those individuals who seem to move way beyond normal conditions, so-called ‘great ones’ who serve humanity in pivotal ways.

Choice is always part of the mix, you see. What is your desire? Your choices are part of life and its flow and are known. At times, enthusiasm can overtake wisdom and patience, but these bear their own fruit and are teachable. Special moments of beauty in the life experience, whether in your own or another’s, are revelations of what can be. They touch the soul, if you will, enriching the connection with the True Nature.

Be all you can be and open to what that means for you. Allow insight to reveal the truth of your potential. This is part of awakening, our brother. Learn the meaning and the language of your insights. Put them into practice. More will come, for there are many perspectives, you see, to any truth. No need to compare your insights and desires with others’. They have their truths as well.

Gain wisdom through your insights. Learn of your True Nature. Be all you can be. Awaken as you may. Life is miraculous, from the smallest to the largest, from the most obscure to the obvious. Welcome and namaste.

Awakening 54: Building a bridge to the larger life

Comments Off on Awakening 54: Building a bridge to the larger life

Awakening: a series

awakening, communication, Enlightenment, larger life, wisdom

JANU: We are assembling this morning that needed to understand and to perceive a dialogue between the True Nature and the human consciousness. Yes, in our situation, Janu is the intermediary, the translator, the permanent interface created by the desire of the human consciousness to communicate and the creative wisdom and ability of the True Nature. We are not suggesting that this arrangement is for everyone, but some arrangement is needed.

What triggers this arrangement, the creation of it, is strong desire of the human individual to know more, to reconnect, to be in harmony with who they truly are. And in the manner possible, they experience this. Not for curiosity, but to enhance the life, make wiser choices, understand themselves and each other, serve life and explore it. Casual interest, entertainment, does not create this.

Now, you observe some who exhibit certain perceptions, capabilities that speak to this. Much they brought with them, our brother, through incarnation. Incarnating is not a black and white situation, you see. Many nuances, many variables that change with time, activity, and experiences, and the movement and creation of desires. In a sense, you grow into this. Life is not ignorant of its elements. Everything, in one way or another, touches everything else and is known.

The models of creation serve well those who employ it. A model of ignorance, privacy, isolation, abuse of power, fear, all of these are creations fulfilling desires, choices, attitudes. This one through whom we speak has created what we call a “yes/no” signaling system that can be applied to any interest instantly. So, you see, awakening is not something you wait for, but allow, embrace, and fulfill. When the urge is within, it is time. Everyone in their life experience is where they chose to be, and continue to choose. Life does not find fault with this, but only serves, supports your choices.

Building a bridge, so to speak, to the larger life that you are is built in such a way that it is compatible with what you can accept. Desire the truth, the purity of being. Be honest with yourself. Grow in your love for who you are. Share that love with the rest of life. Find a growing peace within and allow life to unfold, employing the wisdom of who you are. This bridge evolves, is always under construction. The more you use it, the stronger it becomes. Walk into your future, at one with your True Nature, as you go in your awakening and the enlightenment that comes. Namaste to all.

Awakening 53: Allowing awakening

Comments Off on Awakening 53: Allowing awakening

Awakening: a series

allowing, awakening, challenges

JANU: We are dealing with endurance and commitment to the awakening journey. Endurance because there are, in fact, challenges to awakening. The ability to concentrate, focus, to build on and develop momentums, to open to new understandings not based upon structures of the old ones, the challenge to merge the experiences of awakening into the daily life and its structures.

Yes, our brother, there are times when pauses are needed to rest, not be overwhelmed by so much to learn and accomplish. Some of this comes from pushing too hard. The mind is the doer and it’s easy to forget the naturalness of just being, without timetables for achievement or empirical pursuit. Resting from time to time is not a departure from commitment and momentums. Gentleness in awakening, without comparisons, allows for rejuvenation and enthusiasm to return.

You are not required to accomplish any of these things. Encouraged when interest and desire is there, yes. The demands, requirements, are self-imposed. Loving an experience into your life has a natural peacefulness and even a seeming randomness that your consciousness finds agreeable. Think beyond time/space. It is more allowing than creating awakening. Pushing makes it more difficult.

Allow your consciousness to be who you truly are. Everything is as it should be. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 52: Exploring the future

Comments Off on Awakening 52: Exploring the future

Awakening: a series

awakening, collaboration, connection to life, human potential, larger life

JANU: We are forecasting or foretelling the movement of humanity through the history yet to come some call the future. This movement resembles, to a degree, the path of other worlds, civilization, yet still unique in its own way.

As humanity awakens, society changes. Consciousness changes, as do relationships, and what is important, goals and ideals, and embracing life. Humanity will settle down, so to speak, in its conflicts one with another, seeing greater profit in collaboration with its many differences. Those differences become one in the new consciousness. The wastefulness of competition, to the degree humanity engages in it, will no longer seem profitable, and a distraction from a happier life.

Breakthroughs in understanding, not just in technology, our brother, but in understanding life and many realities, leads to relationships with other worlds. Humanity will realize that its counterparts exist on many other worlds. There will be a bonding of heritages and mutual support in the goals set forth for each. And understanding will be shared, materially and in consciousness, for life is connected one with another on many levels, you see. As one becomes more conscious through awakening these patterns of change are markers, if you will, on this path.

The maladies of ill health will virtually disappear as commonplace.

The lives of those discarnate will become more a conscious mix with incarnate life, for consciousness is consciousness no matter the reality, you see, or form of expression. Becoming more conscious will be a theme for shaping one’s existence.

Life will be understood less as the length of a sojourn but the endurance of consciousness, whether incarnate or not. So many endeavors, whether initiated incarnate or not, will take on larger scope, transcending greatly one sojourn. Endeavors of this nature will be shared on a larger scale with others of different realities, overlapping each other for the benefit of all. One asks, “Why awaken? Why be concerned with this? Why the effort to make such changes in one’s consciousness?” Need we say more?

The future of humanity has always looked bright, our brother, its potential yet to be fully discovered. Find comfort and peace in what is to come, but even more so who you are now.

Awakening 51: The laws of life

by Jonathan

July 15, 2016

Comments Off on Awakening 51: The laws of life

Awakening: a series

awakening, evolution, laws of life, perspective, reality, sanity

JANU: We are presenting at this time that which belongs to the service of the anomalies of life, the so-called apparent realities, as they begin their trek through the life of an individual. Now, by ‘anomalies’ we mean those features of life experience that pertain to so-called nature, laws of physics, and other sciences. These are referred to as ‘surface realities’ for they seldom reach the truth behind them. They are as masks to the purity of being. And this is why miracles are called miracles, for on the surface nature of things miracles are unexplainable.

This is why analysis of these so-called surface structures of life, attempting to explain and understand what lies behind them as primary source cannot be explained. They are structured ways of understanding to maintain their integrity for the human journey of experience into relationships, the more mechanical nature of the human journey in the physical life. They serve a purpose, our brother. They are revelatory on the one hand, and conceal much more on the other, until the consciousness has evolved to the point where it is no longer owned by these perceptions, these fixed realities so to speak, and the True Nature reality can finally emerge even while incarnate.

What takes place here is a change in perception, an understanding that transcends limited points of view, the so-called surface structures of physicality and its laws, its order, its inflexibility. Time and space, our brother, are misunderstood. They are more fluid than you realize. The fixed appearance of their nature is a surface reality, superficial. Wise is the consciousness that opens to the so-called laws of life and nature as mutable, with layers of reality, serving a temporary purpose for limited points of view but in truth they are free to be expressed in so many different ways.

This is part of the path of awakening, our brother, the many different realities of the so-called laws of life, of natural law, structure and form, a time/space perspective, seemingly rock solid, from a limited point of view. Life is so much more than this, adaptable, changing.

You ask, “Where is the sanity in all of this?” The sanity, our brother, is who you are and life itself, the life that can be anything. Manifesting, creating, is not the source of life but the journey of it. We speak of ‘freedom of being,’ not pigeon-holing life so to speak into one reality or another. The journey of awakening is not easy for one who requires structure, ironclad order, but is for one who is willing to explore and experience their True Nature. The ultimate journeyer in harmony with life. Namaste, our brother.
