Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU: Encumbered to one degree or another is a condition to be mastered. Feelings of regret, guilt, frustration, fault-finding whether with self or another, disappointment and fear best seen as results of living, engaging, exploring, discovering, overcoming challenges on the path of discoveries. Struggles in living are builders of strength and commitment. Follow through, proving to oneself, meeting them, committing to overcoming builds the framework for progression and discovering more of life and one’s own potential.

Take some time to explore a new element, a new framework for evaluation. Cherish victories of the path and each new one. Another’s approval is not as important as your own. Their approvals are based upon their own patterns of life and are their footsteps on their path of discovery. Allow them theirs. Allow you yours. Life knows the difference and cherishes them all.

Be grateful that challenges come. They tell you that you are part of Life and Life is part of you. Find peace in this, and strength. Let it build resolve that life is okay. This is how it grows, realizes potential, and moves on. Allow this perspective to deepen and broaden and reveal the True Nature of Life itself. Namaste.

Comments Off on Redundancy

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , ,

JANU:   Redundancy has two faces. Both are illusions. One face is repetition, duplication. The other is approximation. When in reality both are a limited perception. Every moment in life is essentially new. When perceived in this way, there is a freshness to the experience, for no two moments are identical. Life is forever in motion, changing, presenting a unique face. When life seems repetitious and ‘old hat’ so to speak, one is being not alert to the movements, to the changes. For no matter how subtle, each moment is unique.

The windows of opportunity and perception to the bored mind are invisible. The living desire to explore, to evolve, to contribute, to become is the fire within. There is wisdom to explore, evaluate one’s own foundation of the desire to embrace life. Life becomes more invigorating, more sustaining, more rejuvenating, more gratifying, more illuminating, and more facilitating, and more healing and inspiring by example to others. Your light becomes more radiant and attracts other lights. Your being unites more consciously. You communicate with life more fully, in more ways.

Become more alive with each moment. You have the capacity to be this way, whether incarnate or not. So be it.

Enormous responsibility?

Comments Off on Enormous responsibility?

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:    Enormous responsibility depends upon perspective. When considering the magnitude of Life, its depth and breadth, its potential, capabilities, its endurance and longevity, serving it, contributing to it in a meaningful way, one tends to compare the potential of responsibility individually with the magnitude of Life itself.

The wisdom of this perspective needs examination. For are we not the Life, in essence, that we hold in such high regard? Why not consider the merit and the value of all of life, no matter how large or small? Seeing your contribution and potential to contribute in the same way, relieving yourself of the perception of a burden of responsibility beyond reality.

Every moment of sharing the Light, the Truth of Life, no matter the perceived magnitude, is of equal importance, for without it Life is lessened in the manifestation of its potential. Find joy, comfort, and peace no matter the perceived magnitude of Light. Find merit in being grateful that it is so, confident in the Light magnifying, amplifying, evolving and supporting its existence. If there is more you can do, understand, and be, it will come to you. Be alert to opportunities. Understand your own potential and depth and watch it evolve as a natural occurrence, for this is what life does by becoming.

We are all never alone. How can one be, in reality, when you are that Light? So, continue, evolve, be grateful, love each moment. Namaste.

The fullness of the moment

Comments Off on The fullness of the moment

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , ,

JANU:    Many speak of equations, the mathematics of life, the laws of relationships, the progressions and procedures of life. We speak to these as well but in a context of cause and effect, probabilities, interplay of opportunities, and the progression of outcomes. Looking at life in this way leaves the door open for any coexistence of opportunities, progressions, challenges, victories, probabilities and randomness of progression.

 Life involvement is a constant change of potential outcomes because life coexists with itself and all of its potentials. There is balance of progression, outcomes existing simultaneously that can move in any direction at any time. Life is fluid and predictable. Life is potential and, for physical life, there is timing and progressions. Attempting to embrace a concept of life that is simultaneous and based on such alternatives can be a distraction from the moment and the opportunities that exist there.

We encourage a fluid approach to possibilities. Being in the moment, which is where the power is, many look for control of their experience and their progressions. In some ways this is a limitation. Life allows this, but is not limited by it. Flow can move in any direction simultaneously. Living in the moment allows for alertness to possibilities and potentials and communication with Life itself, its creations. It’s more fluid, encompassing and alive than linear progression alone.

Freedom to ‘be’ in the moment, in any moment, allows your systems of life to exist in balanced flow, from moment to moment. Consider this carefully when planning, when responding to insight and conditions of the moment. Being at peace yet well-connected to the realities of one’s existence is Life. Namaste.

Simultaneous physical & inner consciousness

Comments Off on Simultaneous physical & inner consciousness

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , ,

JANU:    Incorporating physical and inner existence in virtually the same breath for the purpose of understanding and embracing the opportunities of living both lives simultaneously is a degree of accomplishment not to be ignored. Do this under the advisement of who you are. Much to be gained. It makes one more resilient to distraction out of control. Brings about a choice, liberates an experience to a greater fullness. Goes hand in hand with balanced living and understanding. Unites the Larger Life experience.

For today’s journey, let us employ what we speak of here and engage the so-called nether worlds. Conflict, uncertainty, confusion cross purposes with the world of insight, wisdom, peace, and love. Realities that coexist as a fuller life journey. Choose this coexisting relationship when the opportunity seems to arise. Namaste.

Comments Off on Nurturing

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , ,

JANU:   Once again, we journey into the Larger Life, portraying life as it is and as it can be. The subject this time is ‘Nurturing.” And what does that mean, in today’s stage of evolution?  It varies greatly, depending upon maturity of consciousness. At times, an element of nurturing is patience or the natural development and expression of the steps chosen by the journeyer.

It is tempting to let ego motivate one’s response to the condition of another, wishing to demonstrate advantage over another, not considering one’s own difference is no wiser than that of another. The wisdom of understanding and judgement has many faces. One does not take the place of another, and at times can confuse the other in their own natural awakening. The healthy alternative is allowing one’s own insight to see the merit of another. Many times wisdom is to say nothing, or be an example.

The cumulative wisdom of the many experiences of others is quite vast. When counseling or evaluating or judging the merit of what you observe, this is the time to draw more and more deeply on your own evolution and inspiration. Also true, when dissatisfied with one’s own judgement. Life is larger than you know, in any circumstance. Part of listening to your own comments and point of view is to hear yourself as an observer of your own processes, being open to clarity. Be patient with yourself, forgiving and encouraging. Namaste.

Comments Off on The time of awakening

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , , ,

JANU:   The course of events predictable to degrees, for the politics of governments and civilizations of the Earth for the next few years is troublesome for many. But the noise that most hear is not the core nature of the desire and needs of the people. The political leaders of a number of countries equate their individual personal power as the wisdom of the country. It wanders in and out of that, at great expense. The manifestation of potential of the true power of human consciousness that can maximize the evolution of humanity is more outside of their realm of consciousness than inside it.

The potential of human consciousness–in harmony with the flow of life, the evolution of life, the genius of life and the beauty and love of life–is in harmony with the footsteps of many whose power is not limited to politics. In due course, the political and otherwise leadership will blossom with the right nutrition.

Contact with other worlds, populated, will help to fill in the gaps. It is time for human consciousness and civilization to broaden and be a contributor. The issue of survival and development will no longer be limited to and understanding physical existence, but identification will include more of life than that. A larger perception, a more inclusive perception of Life and one’s part to play will put everything in a new light.

Awakening to the Larger Life is occurring. There is far more developing through this universe on multiple life levels than humanity is aware of. In time, cultures benefit from each other and, at the same time, evolve into a larger ability to contribute. Choose more to give, to become, and be. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening, The Human Condition

, , , ,

JANU:     Wisdom, for the future of this country, comes on the heels of experience. Advocating for this relies upon clarity of perspective. Regional wisdom is influenced by perspectives of other populations. Collective wisdom is influenced by awakening. Motivation for this requires a larger view of destiny. The inner sight forecasts the potential. Individual contribution is coupled with commitment. The form of commitment depends upon observation and The NOW  of reality and the freedom of choice. Patience is long-term in the allowing of change. Timelessness brings peace. Find joy in potential. Namaste.

Choosing leaders

Comments Off on Choosing leaders

The Human Condition

, , ,

JANU: The struggle for power has two faces. One is greed. The other is service. The physical faces are clear around the world. The ones of service look for opportunity that has the potential for success. The ones of greed see success in confusion, manipulation of truth, the weakness of others. Observing each pattern for its truth is the discernment needed.

Greed or service—two sides of the same coin of human consciousness. The choice is clear when looking for leadership and the choice has always been with the individual. They both require commitment. The results are opposite. The leaders of the world are not the only ones facing the choice. The challenge is universal. The details can be complicated and have many faces, many representations, and sometimes the motivations are mixed.

An increasing sensitivity in consciousness of the difference in every situation is useful. The inner wisdom of the True Nature, of experience, is a resource to draw upon. Do not underestimate insight and your True Nature. Anger and frustration cloud the mind, the judgement, block wisdom. Be at peace always and the clarity will come. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU:    The model for living that you seek to understand does exist and not as rare as you might think. The Earth society is in its early stages. It is the choice of rapid evolution by comparison. It is by choice but the model society lives in, self-created, can obscure its alternative.

What does it take, then, to see through this fog of misunderstood survival motivations? Loving insight is a key. It is choice that needs confidence and transforming current challenges. Pain and suffering seem louder than true peace, joy and beauty. Different forms of power through choice. One seems easier than the other, but each other’s existence is challenged by each other.

Clear understanding of choice bears close examination. The simple exercise  at break of day: Choose either choice for that day. It takes focus, commitment, and dedication. Be attentive to every nuance and what it creates. Be attached to neither and learn through experience.

Choose. Be honest with the results. Life reveals itself. Little steps. Evolve through process. Namaste.
