awakening, collaboration, larger life, the True Nature

JANU: Encouraging others to awakening by example has merit as long as the form and title of theirs is shaped by their desire and free will. So the reality of awakening as a theme need not appear as yours does, and connects better if it doesn’t. Life is more diverse than the awakening of one, and there is strength in diversity. Resilience, endurance, unending commitment, and ownership.

So what would inspire another to awaken, our brother, in their own way, in their own time? The peace, the happiness and richness of your own. The love to be seen at the heart of everything, including the overcoming of challenges and the acceptance of them. Generosity in achievements and patience with each other. Encourage people to be hopeful, to cherish new understandings and to expect more. Be pregnant with life, giving birth to life’s enrichments. Confidence that there is a future worthy of endeavor and persistence. Allowing the believing in each other and forgiving, no matter the challenge.

These are basic qualities, fundamentals of ongoing life, and part of the reason that life continues. It is allowed to. It is nourished and encouraged. It is supported. It is embraced. Being guaranteed outcomes of living takes away the wonder, the miracle of discovery, and creative freedom. Characteristics of life, our brother, are ongoing change, creativity, spontaneity, and miracles. The next breath, our brother, is no less a miracle than the birth of another, a breakthrough in understanding.

Everything in your life matters, including you. Awakening is not limited to discovery of other parts of life, but your own True Nature. For without this, our brother, what is awakening and what is the purpose? Who is doing the awakening? And why does the path of awakening even exist? You are more aware, more loving, more capable than your human consciousness currently possesses. And even your True Nature, our brother, is evolving. What better platform and foundation for exploring life and all it can be?

And it is possible to learn of, appreciate, and know the True Nature of another. Collaboration is the mark of the Family of Life. Namaste.

Awakening: a series

awakening, challenges, choices, incarnation, reincarnation

JANU: This second look at the miracles of awakening begins with insight into motivation. For how can you create change in your life if desire is not there, passion, the wonder? The incentive for this, at least in the beginning, is the current conditions of living in the incarnate life. Incarnate life is not inherently a negative experience. It can be quite miraculous, with one breakthrough after another of uplifting experiences.

Challenges and successes, yes, and even failures of a temporary nature can strengthen resolve, teach great lessons, reveal the nature of your life. “But to what end?” you might ask. It is to own these experiences, our brother, to make them viable elements of your lexicon of being, for, when applied to an awakening consciousness, they prepare one for new and more expansive adventures of wisdom and experience.

Repeating elements of life endlessly is an option, but how does that serve you? But for some, that’s what it takes to see the lesson with clarity and embrace change. The range of living experiences, understandings of involvements and evolvements is as fast as human consciousness chooses. For some, it appears to be a straight, linear path to awakening. For others, it seems to run in circles without end. And everything in between. It is all life, our brother. The choice is yours. The lessons are yours. The rewards are yours. Time and space do not cover these, but they are part of them.

Your experiences in life come from your desires, your interests, your passions, and, yes, your fears and apprehensions. Choices have results; awakening brings clarity to the results of choice, the opportunities, the rewards. So, awakening is not just the path to a perfect life, our brother, but to one of clarity for your choices. And what is perfection, then, but life’s ability to be anything and everything? So, you see, our brother, awakening is also the path to freedom, which includes relationships and the freedoms of others in service and example, inspiration.

As with any family, we are stronger together than apart, for we grow with each other, benefiting from everyone’s successes and the wisdom that comes from their challenges. So, welcome to awakening the larger life which is within you. Namaste.

Awakening: a series

awakening, the True Nature, The truth of life, the veil

JANU: The merits of awakening include solace for those who struggle to make sense of life. Many possibilities are imagined and dwelled upon and examined from many perspectives, but seldom is the focus generated by the True Nature heard. Listening unerringly to the truth that lives within you is to be practiced and allowed to blossom and inspire. Listening without prejudice and at peace with the power of peace calms the turbulence of struggle. The insights of the soul, so to speak, have a beauty and simplicity to them, bringing together the loose ends of consciousness, and imagination and wondering, into a focus that reveals. Patience and struggle and confusion seldom mix to bring clarity.

This quest of yours to explore awakening in a meaningful way, to inspire others into their truth, is founded in love and wisdom and true power. These are qualities of your True Nature. Human social consciousness wanders past these while thinking that the words are understood. Simple truths, our brother, while seeming plain to understand have profound layers of meaning, taking many lifetimes to embrace and manifest through the opportunities of life. Look not for a simple solution without layers of meaning constantly evolving and growing into the larger truth. Part of the reason for the veil is to focus the sojourn experience and not be distracted by unlimited possibilities all at once. Simple yet profound understanding of many realities brings wisdom when patiently applied and lived.

The path of awakening is not meant to bypass anything, but to bring consciousness to everything you consider, desire, and reach for. Love alone, our brother, has unlimited possibilities of meaning and reality. Consider the challenges and opportunities for the human consciousness to master even this one path of discovery. So you see, through the wisdom of the True Nature, one explores life and its realities with patience and commitment and care. Awakening, our brother, is not a destination but a journey of embracing life, who you are, and all you can be, discovering that the Family of Life has always been your family, rich beyond concepts.

This is how we begin, our brother, to engage awakening. Namaste.

Awakening: a series

awakening, consciousness expansion, the larger life, the True Nature

This is a new 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.

JANU: We are honoring this request to build an understanding of the path of awakening. This path begins with a growing desire to be more conscious, not only of life but the reality of your own being. “And what does this mean?” you ask. There are so many realities within the True Nature of each one.

The natural ability to realize oneness with any part of life.
To understand creation, nature.
What motivates people on any level.
Collaboration.
Symbiosis.
And even more so, the true nature of love.
With increasing insight and vision, perception, the many purposes of life, recognizing opportunities to understand and manifest potential.
To embrace the life of everything, whether animate or not.
To learn patience, commitment, endurance, and service.
The reality of connection with everything and everyone. All of this by way of the presence of your True Nature, who you are and always have been.
The memory of countless past associations and the accomplishments of many sojourns, whether on the Earth or not.
Maintaining good health, not just physically but emotionally, mentally, spiritually.
The challenges and victories of evolving a more cosmic consciousness.
Loving yourself and understanding why.
Enriching the flow of life by giving away what you have received.
The true power of peace and intimacy.
Engaging the many realities of life, physical and beyond, and the beings who reside in them, and the elements of your being that reside there as well.
The discovery of more and more of life.
Answers to unending questions and inquiries.
Past, present, and future reside in the Now as one truth.
Other worlds, other galaxies, other universes and beyond.
True freedom to be.

But the beginning of this is the desire to know who you truly are and the nature of Life. Does your identity include more than the human experience? Do you respect and love who you are? Who is the true ‘you’ asking these questions, and answering them? What is the Family of Life that you are included in?

This is a new series, exploring the process and experience of awakening, in a direct and organized manner. These will be posted one at a time and then gathered together into a ‘book’ as the weeks progress, so that the reader can partake of the series as a whole. Or, the category “Awakening: a series” will lead to all of the topics posted so far.
