Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU: ‘The awakening of humanity.’ What is this, then, but the process of life realizing its potential: consciousness in a sublime sense; realization of the Truth of Life on all levels; the systems of life, the reality, the relationships, the potential; exploring opportunities with abandon; the model of life expressions that evolve.

Evolution and de-evolution are references that are the checks and balances of creation. Freedom to choose either and experience the results, the wisdom of the timing of these, and their counterbalancing maturities. When so-called destruction occurs, what is destroyed but the forms of expression? When creativity occurs, life expands. The expansion and contraction of life are its breathing, the transformations of vitality.

Awakening reveals the differences and their function. Both are life, you see, and the elements of its unfoldment and their relationship. We are here not to condemn either but to understand and employ the freedom to choose. One honors life by allowing its beingness.

This is the nature of an explorer. Awakening reveals everything without judgement, but with love and understanding and a lot of allowing. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU: We are enumerating once more the potential of humanity, its relationships, and the needs of the moment. Supernatural seems to be the anticipated needs of humanity. Supernatural, then, meaning that beyond the consciousness of struggling humanity. Yes, all of life is connected. Awakening to the Larger Life is not limited to being conscious of discarnate beings and realities. It is being conscious of one’s own potential and the potential of others.

Participate in the creation of more harmonious relationships and their evolution for those who can see. Other worlds have achieved measures of this and continue to do so. Their consciousness, individually and collectively, becomes standards for others to achieve, and to inspire confidence in their achievement. Observing humanity in the light of the realization of such potential, one can see the underlying ingredients, elements just below the surface of human consciousness. The opportunity and challenge is to inspire conscious realization or understanding of this potential.

So, ideas presented inspirationally into the psyches of humanity, beginning with those on the verge of awakening, will spread by example to the consciousness of others. And humanity will awaken more and more, realizing what might be possible to turn the tide of disharmony. So, let us quicken these inspirations for those who can receive them to any degree. It is not our mission to identify these individuals. Natural occurrences will take place, for their True Natures have this capability.

So, the focus here is to inspire, one way or another, the freedom to know, to understand, and to embrace potential with the power of peace and a growing wisdom. Our focus will gain clarity and refinement as we proceed. Life itself will reveal what is needed as change takes place. Loving all of life invigorates these qualities to manifest. Let us proceed. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , , ,

JANU:  Illumination is the theme here: illuminated consciousness, understanding, knowing. “Illuminated by what?” you ask. By the Light of Life, its truth, its nature, its creativeness, illuminating your own beingness, sense of identity, and conscience. The illumination is not limited but touches everything. That is the nature of the Truth of Life. Pure Being is without borders, identity, in the sense of one identity as opposed to another. Understanding and Pure Being evolve, period.

Now, evolution is a process, for even the foundations of understanding achieved and of being are in motion. The beauty of life is its continuation and change and newness and wonder. Seeking illumination continually renews its potential. Identities that limit have borders. Change brings a sense of insecurity to those who live in borders of identity. Embracing evolution as a natural occurrence liberates creativity, understanding, and discovery.

Seeing identity as temporary to explore a part of life has merit. But temporary it must be. Always seek wisdom guiding change and evolution and reception. Realize that a new understanding evolves. Value what has been. Embrace what is. Open to potential and a path of discovery. Find peace in this and balance and confidence and love of life. Namaste.

JANU: Summing up, if you will, a peaceful negotiation to the protocols of harmony, prolonged communication, and our best performance on the quest for the Truth of Life and a destiny of evolving. Let us explore the conditions of life, the flow of life, the nature of everything, and by this we mean the relationships of all things to each other. Life is symmetry and an evolving diversity. Together, it brings about change, the expression of creativity, freedom, organization, limitlessness with patterns, purpose with wonder and amazement.

Being conscious is life in motion. Asking the questions, inquiries, is evidence of this. Insights are the responses. Be open to discovery and understanding. Let us continue in this direction. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU: Summoning up the courage to explore in the face of the challenges of ignorance. Conscious connection with others still exploring the lesser path is a challenge in itself, for the natural urge to serve becomes challenged greatly when attempting to share understanding that has not been embraced yet by others. The tolerance is founded in appreciation of the reality of being on all levels and the freedom of each to choose the steps on their path and their timing. You will discover among them, including yourself, those who hunger for more clarity, who look for solutions and answers to questions, are not so different from your path. What they need is up to them and their own Nature. The timing and depth and scope is theirs. Your challenge is to be what you are more conscious of, even with those whose consciousness has advanced beyond yours.

Choose privacy on your journey, subject to inner promptings to share, and even then, what to share, when to share, and how to share. Beyond just being, walk these steps of awakening slowly, allowing yourself and others their timing, their diversity, their model for living. Allow others and yourself space and time, patience and Life’s loving guidance. Not everything revealed at once. That bypasses the wisdom of experience, that leads to confusion and intimacy not founded in love.

Be patient. Be understanding. And be all you can be. Live your life in this way, and Life will not waste you or those you wish to serve. Namaste.

Comments Off on Some benefits of awakening

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU:   The benefits of awakening to the Larger Life, and the Light we call the Truth of Life, can be overwhelming, for it forecasts expansion of consciousness, depth of understanding, transcendent experience, and intimacy on a scale without end. The benefits keep giving as your perceived needs evolve, your understanding expands, and your faculty to embrace the larger truth deepens. Asking any question within and a wise response in many forms ensues, strengthened by wisdom, commitment, love, and intimate embrace that proves itself again and again. To understand and sense the needs of another, their confusions, their victories, their compassion for life, their integrity, and their nature is rewarding, to say the least, to both of you. It enriches the integrity of life expressions, creations, and their potentials.

Life is in motion constantly, often without understanding the path, the direction, and even the outcomes, endless repetition of life patterns without seeming resolution. Confusion opens the door to suffering, misinterpretation, denial of reality, and even hate and greed. Awakening brings clarity that grows in penetration and scope.

Awakening brings peace and symmetry and beauty to one’s evolution. The Light shines in every corner, revealing shadows for what they are. Light brings healing from confusion and unwise choices. The system of being is healthiest when all of that system lives harmoniously. It is the strongest then and continues to evolve. Awakening reveals the endless beauty of life itself, and its patterns of expression. Awakening inspires the realization of dreams, potential, passions, creativity, and generosity. Awakening stimulates confidence that there is a guiding force in life that embodies the virtues of being, of one’s value to life.

These are some of the benefits of awakening. There are many more. Namaste.

Comments Off on Enriching life

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , ,

JANU:   Enriching life has possibilities within and beyond imagination. True Peace is one. What does that mean? How is that expressed? Touching life in meaningful ways.

A lot of resentment exists in society at this time, for many reasons. Fame, fortune, power, wisdom, opportunities, influence, economics and health, achievements or the lack thereof. True Peace contains gratitude for what has been achieved and what can be achieved. Wandering through the corridors of one’s existence, one’s life path, being grateful for any achievement, no matter to what degree, opens the door of opportunities to add to and magnify these, not based upon the path of others. Being an inspiration for the achievements of others is being grateful for their achievements. For the path of peace is connected to all paths of peace. So gratitude is a unifier and enriches life by way of past achievements through opportunities that are mutually beneficial.

So, how does one enrich life? By being inspired and inspiring. By discovering realization and understanding. Revealing others has opportunity to enrich life in some way. Bringing light where there is darkness. Revealing the Truth of Life. Expressing conscious union by being it. Union with your True Nature is a path to union with more and more of life, a growing confidence in the beauty, the magic, the potential, the nature of life.

True power is in harmony with the flow of life, which is part of everything, being in wonder of it all and loving it. Namaste.

Allow the Larger Life to reveal itself

Comments Off on Allow the Larger Life to reveal itself

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   Exploring the coexistence of realities is similar to the reality of attuning the consciousness and the experience to a larger relationship with life. The perception that a reality, a dimension, is some distant thing perpetuates the perception of separation, of isolation from coexisting realities. These journeys are movement in the direction of conscious union with all of life, but some limitations remain in the longstanding perception of separation.

Allow, then, a reality to reveal itself to you. It’s in its nature to do so, but perceptions long held can block this, you see. Allow yourself to be conscious as all that you are. Not just human ego, personality, but including that as well. Conscious union is more than just the expansion of individuality, but becoming conscious as more and more of life.

Now the human consciousness can move in this direction, but it is a process, while conscious as a human, of adjustment. Getting used to, being comfortable with, feeling natural as the awakening proceeds. Not to shock the consciousness into awakening, but to merge in a healthy manner with more and more. The ‘we’ we speak of is all that you are, and as one becomes consciously united with the Larger Life, the ‘we’ expands to mean all beings.

Individuality coexists with union. The rest of life mutually enriching, surviving and thriving as a diversity of expression. Your so-called neighbor in a physical dimension you coexist with more apparent as the veil diminishes. No longer the need for privacy, for what is there to protect from? The more one becomes aware of reality, the more the reality of integrity becomes identified with, and the integrity of others as well.  This is true coexistence, and so it is with dimensions and other reality.

You speak of exploration. Life is unlimited exploration and is growing. Allow the truth of these perceptions to reveal themselves in their own way. Be more alive than you imagine. Namaste.

Challenges and solutions

Comments Off on Challenges and solutions

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU: As requested, the focus is ‘challenges and solutions.’ Often, the challenges superficially are more readily apparent than the solutions. But not all challenges are physically obvious. Life is more diverse than that and all realities are connected.

So it is with solutions. Not all solutions are physical in their natures, but some more so than others. Rearranging relationships while being attuned to the flows of life allows solutions to flow as well, for the challenge and the solution are one. As stated earlier, look at the heart of any challenge and there lies the solution.

Accomplishing this is aided by a growing conscious union with the larger nature of your own being. Beyond the veil of forgetfulness, one is still connected. The desire to know and to be acts as a key to unlock the path to knowingness, to conscious union, which strengthens with each achievement.

See not challenges as unknowable in their solution. You are one with all of life. Explore it. Grow in your understanding of it and your relationship with it. Challenges and solutions coexist. All of life coexists. Be an explorer, a discoverer, a revealer, and employ what life offers. The tools of life are vast and evolving. What greater challenge and opportunity for an explorer than a life reality ever-changing, evolving, creating, and responding? Challenges are not obstacles to avoid or ignore. They are part of the evolution of life. The solutions bring confidence in the magic and continuation of Life itself. Namaste.

How to love yourself and others

Comments Off on How to love yourself and others

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU:    When observing oneself and others, the merit of an individual is their potential, their evolution, their peace, maturing creativity, their Nature, their consciousness, their relationships with life and circumstances and others. What we look for here: a growing symmetry of balance and harmony throughout the systems of being, a growing capacity to understand themselves and each other, empathy, tolerance, and loving service. Growing into these is a path with challenges, opportunities, solutions, creativity, wisdom.

Potential is rich with opportunities and the challenges we create. There seem to be more challenges than opportunities, but they both are one.  Balance between the two is the wisdom that comes from experience and commitment to evolve. One is the challenge to love oneself and then another. Finding fault with one’s own experiences in life is not productive. It only condemns. Seeing your life as life in motion, constantly changing and evolving, speaks of freedom of becoming what you desire. Claim your power from within to awaken. The larger your consciousness, the wiser your choices.

You ask, “What is the foundation for loving oneself, a justification, a basis?” The basis is a growing awareness of the magic and beauty of life in motion, of potential, of manifestation. It is everywhere, if you would see. And each one is an expression of this in the making. Become aware of the beauty within and, through this, recognize the beauty in others, realizing that together you are the process of Life becoming. Choose to perceive this. Claim your inner power to do so, for that power shines light as far and as wide as you desire.  Namaste.
