JANU: You ask, “What is spirit?” A term almost best left to the use of the incarnate consciousness, disconnected, in a sense, from the larger reality of life, for even the physical life, you see, is unseen to the five senses. Explored to some degree with physical technology but also explored by those with awakened consciousnesses—clairvoyance and the like.

Now, the True Nature might be categorized in this way but its consciousness embraces so much more. We use the term ‘life’ as a general label to include many realities, but even that is a limitation, for it suggests the possibilities: “What is life and what isn’t?” “What is real and what isn’t?” “What is true and what is false?” Even dichotomies are perceptions posed by parts of life.

You ask, “What is consciousness?” It is awareness by that which is capable of such. Then asking, “Are there any limits to consciousness?” and “What is the nature of unconsciousness? Does it have reality as well?” and “What is the source of consciousness? What is the nature of its existence?” “Is Life itself conscious, or only by virtue of its progeny, its creations?”

Many assumptions are made for the mind to continue to explore. Can a creation react to its creator and, if so, how fully? This is exploring life. Does an answer exist, even potentially, for any inquiry? What is the mind, the consciousness, of an explorer? Do inquiries ever achieve these? Namaste.

Chaos or cadence?

Comments Off on Chaos or cadence?

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , ,

JANU:    Chaos and cadence, seemingly arch-enemies but combined they are attributed to peace, balance, symmetry, and continuation. Current perception of incarnate life is strong on the side of chaos, and weak in the direction of peace and balance, symmetry, order.

“How do these combine to yield peace?” you ask. Because each reveals the other for their natures, leaving one free to identify with the Middle Way, the path of peace and balance. For in this Middle Way, the truth of everything is perceived. Extremes reveal each other for what they are, less likely the identification with either one. Yet both are born of the experiment of living, of creating.

So observe these streams from the True Nature that allows them to exist, with the eye of the Center Way, which sees all and condemns neither. Experience this reality of life, in conscious union with who you truly are. For, in a sense, you are this experiment of life, capable of experiencing these extremes and everything in between. No need to identify with any of this except the freedom and the wisdom of your True Nature. We are one. Namaste.

Exploring macrocosm & microcosm

Comments Off on Exploring macrocosm & microcosm

Cosmology

, , ,

JANU:   One must look at, while exploring the microcosm, the nature of time/space reality. Not only its source, but its underlying reality. The macro and micro understanding of the nature of life coexist as one, for the macro perspective is time/space, distance, time substance, materiality, interactions. The micro side of that reality is none of those, yet it is part of the essential nature of all time/space reality.

What is the reality of the perception of a thing versus a no thing? Different parameters of existence. A thing is a particular manifestation of energy, with properties and characteristics wide-ranging. Forms interacting with each other, maintaining each one’s boundaries of existence, even when mingled. The energy reality of the unmanifest is the creation of the impetus of life. So manifest and unmanifest reality coexist. One linked through the other. One more like potential, the other manifestation.

So how does one explore and understand the nature of potential, of manifestation? It is done by not trying to compare the two or describe one by the nature of the other. Direct experience and understanding is through attention upon, attuning to, and openness to the aspect of your True Nature that is related to both. Identity-shifting, you see, for your very physical existence, which is not who you are, cannot exist without life’s potential, the unmanifest.

So, you ask, “Why is the unmanifest? What is its motivation?” To become manifestation.  Its impetus, its motivation is the nature of Life to evolve, to gain experience, wisdom, and realize potential. Beings who incarnate, and accomplish other things as well, are some of the instruments of this evolution of life.

So, you see, exploring the microcosm is exploring your own Nature and its scope, where the micro is not explained in macro terms. It is, however, experienced as part of ‘being,’ revealing its relationship to the macro. Patience on this journey. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening

, , ,

JANU:   Attention should be given to the natural heritage that belongs to everyone to awaken to their own True Natures, to explore and serve life in this way.

Whatever their endeavor, it will be enhanced by way of greater insight and understanding as to the nature of circumstances. Goals will have deeper meaning. Others will be understood in subtle ways. Decisions will be wiser. Anticipations of a better life will be fulfilled. Any sense of being alone in life will slowly give way to belonging to a larger family and its collective wisdom. One’s own motivations will become more clearly understood. Caring about and for others will have added dimension. Creativity will blossom; conflicts giving way to mutual benefit. Realization of living as an energetic being in harmony with true power and the flow of life will become the way of life, for humans will have the benefit of the qualities of their own True Natures. And individual identity will give way to something much larger.

This and much more through the path of awakening and conscious reunion with all that you are. Namaste.

Comments Off on Understanding choices

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , , , , ,

JANU:    Embracing the human condition while incarnate, from a perspective ‘on high’ so to speak, brings resolution to longstanding struggles and confusion of the nature of existence and purpose of existence. A balanced approach, centered in wisdom and peace and the evolution of human potential, remembering that each human is something much more than what seems apparent to them.

Freedom of choice is an inherent prerogative. Choosing what? What options of choice? What reference for wisdom in the choice? It is not interference to offer options with clarity. Are choices unlimited? And what revelations may be achieved as to the consequence of choice? Not just for others, but for the self as well.  How do individual potentials and consequences benefit from any collaboration? Can there be clarity prior to experience, to assist in choice making?

The insights of the True Nature are a good beginning, for much experience, wisdom, and clarity, and resources are available there. Each one’s True Nature is available, even when behind the veil on the incarnate journey. A reason for awakening, no matter the focus in the sojourn. It is possible to make a choice with sincerity and examine its outcome in consciousness, especially when conscious union with your Nature is exercised. Consider choices carefully and patiently. Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

JANU: Nothing is lost, even when incarnating. The veil is temporary. The True Nature is present and watches over, so to speak, each one.  The conscious relationship with the True Nature varies greatly from person to person and insights occur. The Larger Life coexists, each one walking their path of choice. Life allows choices and each choice has a result. Part of co-creation, you see. But the path you’ve chosen is full of challenges. Being at peace in the midst of all of this is freedom.

See each one as life in motion, gaining experience in their own way. There will be moments for the sharing of insight, but always remain at peace. See nothing as right or wrong, it just is. Trust in the wisdom of the True Nature. Namaste.

Comments Off on Planting seed thoughts

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , ,

JANU:  Understand this: those who live behind the veil look for proof of anything outside themselves. So, when challenged by the thought of another, the idea of another, they test that individual for proof to be convinced. It is the nature of the human veil experience, for direct knowing, conscious union with elements of life, is not a reality in their current experience. So, new ideas become entertainment for the intellect, to ponder, explore, dissect, analyze. But the intellect is being limited to the five senses. Now, this does not mean that occasionally, in unguarded moments, an individual cannot have an insight that is beyond the five senses. Whether they realize the source of this insight or not, the seed that is left may take root and have offspring.

So these ideas of these journeys are planted as seeds looking for fertile ground that they may bear fruit and populate the consciousness with their offspring. So, plant seeds, our brother. It is not your prerogative to force them to grow, only to share them. Allow the circumstances of the moment to trigger what seed thoughts are needed. This has merit, whether in a group setting or not. Yes, be like Johnny Appleseed and see what grows. Namaste.

Music as an example of the Larger Life

Comments Off on Music as an example of the Larger Life

Larger Family of Life

, , , ,

JANU:    An excellent point of view, making beautiful music together. Life is a symphony in many ways. Vibration, patterns, rhythms, coordinations, harmonics which result from other patterns in cooperation, in harmony. An excellent analogy befitting pursuit as an allegory to the reality of the Larger Life. This is not the only sojourn, our brother, with music involved. The instruments of the moment are physical and outside the body. There are ways to produce similarities from within. Witness those who create music, even at early ages, so easily. Yet they endure in popularity and meaning for so many.

There are many forms of awakened consciousness, varying degrees with varying results. Share your ‘readings,’ if you will, with this in mind, countless expressions of awakening to reality larger than, but including, the physical. Life coexists with itself, its many expressions, in this way. This is why you are drawn to music. For others, it’s different art forms that their consciousnesses are attuned to. See these life expressions in this way. Recognize them for what they are.

Creativity knows no bounds. Many creative expressions in the incarnate life, even the physical ones, have their connection to inspiration, moments of insight, direct knowing, the ‘Spark of Light’ if you will. True Natures everywhere are busy with their projections into human consciousness and life patterns. And so is yours. We are one voice. Namaste.

Comments Off on The True Nature and the Larger Life

Elements of Awakening, True Nature & Incarnate Life

, , , ,

JANU:   Organization as such has an interesting relationship with the Larger Life where everything co-exists with its own potential and destiny. The conscious physical mind has a tendency towards structure, priorities, empirical data, order, sequence. But there is more to reality than that, meaning that limiting your perceptions and experiences to that framework is limited.

What of more unlimited reality? How does one relate to that, find meaning, sensibility, and productive experience? One does so by being conscious, in conscious harmony with the Nature of their being that exists in this way. The larger individual reality is not limited to time/space but co-exists with it, allowing for expansion of experience and consciousness to the incarnate awareness. When exercised, perception of light, being, and presence becomes more fluid, more co-existent, more interactive, more layers of relationship. Even time and distance no longer limit, for life is larger than these but includes them.

So awakening, you see, is in addition to current incarnate consciousness, not taking the place of it but adding to it. So, the human consciousness co-mingles with the Larger Life, giving more depth and perspective to incarnate existence. Realize, then, that consciousness beyond incarnate life, before and after, is not so limited but is, in fact, who you are. Awakening has always been available to the incarnate experience, but has not always been known of as reality, as present, as coexisting with the human experience.

Life is vast, diverse, evolving, powerful, coexistent, relateable. The limited incarnate experience need not remain limited. That was a choice agreed to by your own being when incarnating. A temporary experience. The incarnate journey is full of wonder and discovery. The Larger Life journey is so much more and brings adventure to the incarnate life.

Your journey into awakening is wisely directed by your True Nature. What has your interest cared for more fully than the rest of who you are? From that conscious connection and reality, explore the rest of life, including the physical one. Namaste.

Comments Off on Resolving life patterns

Miscellaneous Journeys

,

JANU:    Plans come and go, but the execution of them, the manifestation of them resembles, in some ways, realization of potential. Now, the physical body has the potential to be in excellent health for the entire sojourn. But there are life patterns that linger from experiences during the sojourn and in the past. These patterns form a mixture that is in motion. So the manifesting of excellent health physically must take them into account.

Now, the resolution of these is a bit more than human consciousness can absorb; therefore, one employs balancing forces guided by the blueprint of Life. That is fundamental. So, let us align with this basic life pattern and allow it to manifest. Choose to own every experience and release them. Namaste.
