Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:    Identity shifting for the purpose of conscious union is a reality of inclusion. Less a separate identity but more a presence, unique in wisdom, memories, evolution, perspective, but with isolation and borders of separation as well as with an ease of inclusion, natural connection and effortlessness, coexisting interests, revelations, understandings, intimacies, and giving and receiving.

Yes, singularities in consciousness exist, the nature of consciousness and the nature of life itself and its expressions, creations. The power of a singularity in consciousness reveals coexistence of beginning and all expression and the timelessness of this reality. So, when pursuing an awareness, employ this perspective and there are no secrets, only limited consciousness that is temporary.

Employing singularity reality in the pursuit of understanding and engagement reveals the looping reality of life and its infinite possibilities. Continue with this and master it. Namaste.

Comments Off on Exploring the Earth

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU:   Exploring the Earth, as you put it, is a task that can consume many sojourns. Earth is a consciousness beyond current human understanding; humans tend to perceive based only on their current knowledge and experience. They are their role model for appreciating counterparts to their existence. Consider the Earth as made up of water, atmosphere, firmament, systems, countless expressions of life and is evolving, for the life forms are evolving. And they and the Earth are one, co-dependent, mutually influential, and mutually challenging.

How does one model the consumption of resources while all life involved benefits? Survival drives much of human consciousness, as with other life forms as well. But consumption not governed with wisdom can lead to self-destruction. There are those of human existence who have striven to return balance in the presence of consumption, for sustainability of the evolution of life. It involves some sacrifice, some limitation, and sensitivity to conditions. They respect life and honor its fragility, and embrace adaptability to changes. This is true for many worlds. Some relationships more successful than others. A growing sensitivity and awareness of reality supports survival for the purpose of creation and evolution.

The forms of life are not permanent. They are in motion, as is the human form as well. Physicality can take many forms. It has, and will continue to. Physicality is evolving, as is consciousness. One can get obsessed with mastering elements of these changes and lose sight of a larger, more complex reality that is fundamental to continuation; therefore, succumbing to an isolated identity serves refinement of a focus. But with this perspective of interactions and the results of these in the Larger Life, there are those who master identity, not to the exclusion of refinement of each focus. Their consciousness is open to an expanding life in motion. They are explorers leading the way. Everyone’s destiny has a wide range of potential. Each one chooses and then changes their choice, as conditions and opportunities warrant. Understanding the Earth includes all of this, and so much more. Namaste.

Comments Off on What is life?

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, ,

JANU: We are responding to the request: The nature of life and not life. The imagination wanders along paths of inquiry to discover, understand, and relate to many realities. This morning’s journey includes such.

What is life, then? It is pure being with many characteristics, potentials, opportunities, co-creation, and alternatives. Reality devoid of this consumes nothing but is the potential for life. So what is ‘non-being’? It is no time/space or manifestations. It is not even an ‘isness.’ It is no thing.

So where does potential come from? What is it? What does it constitute? Is it a reality?

What benefit to explore non-existence? Life is larger than any description: Unlimited potential and realization. Energetic yet beyond energy. Vitality. Coexistence beyond description. Aspects beyond number. As present in the moment as in timelessness. Uniqueness and oneness. Beginning and end. Seeming contradictions. Infinitesimal and infinite. Illusion and reality. Freedom to be limitation and limitlessness. Use any of the descriptors of life from the micro to the macro. It includes it all. Namaste.

Understanding and mastering the veil

Comments Off on Understanding and mastering the veil

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   The veil experience is two-fold. As a protocol for incarnation the True Nature agrees to, for purposes of a fulfillment of the human journey to wisdom through experience. Focusing the consciousness by way of identifying as a human born of the third dimension, even though much more is part of this reality than many are aware of. The veil is not the enemy of human consciousness. It is the guarantor of focused involvement. There is wisdom in this, even though a temporary reality. But while identified as ‘human being’ this does not occur generally. Being conscious of the reality of incarnation, which the veil provides, is not being conscious as. The veil is a state of consciousness.

Desire is a motivator for change and the mastership it provides. It begs the question: why does the True Nature agree to this experience? Because the larger understanding and the wisdom accumulated on that level pursues evolution for consciousness in all realities. And the human experience is rich in these. Now, there comes a time when, on the human journey, questions arise without apparent answers. So the human consciousness desires more and the True Nature hears the call. The fulfillment of the desire is a catalyst for resolution. The union of consciousness is a journey of wisdom as well, of ownership and mastery of the larger life of each one.

The veil is an arrangement, a contract, an agreement in the nature of consciousness. Understanding more deeply the human dimension eventually requires awakening to its nature as well. This path of discovery is subject to the timing, the readiness, the desires, the discoveries of each one. No two the same. Made more apparent by the nature of the questions being asked and the insights being discovered. This journey of awakening grows with each insight, each moment of new understanding that is embraced and incorporated into the perspective of each one.

This path of discovery is not linear or uneventful. But, as it begins, it becomes more difficult to ignore because it is fulfilling, liberating, enriching, and brings more peace to the pursuit of life. The human condition can make it seem illusive, impermanent, and unfulfillable, but that is a limited view. The Larger Life and a larger view are one. One grows into something more. Futility appears differently to the one awakening.

Some would ask, “Awakening to what?” Awakening to the nature of Life itself, and your own truth. Awakening to the harmony of the systems of life, even the dichotomies. Own the veil experience. Understand it. Master it. Take advantage of it. Awakening also means remembering. Choose to remember who and what you are. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU:    Society, then, evolves. It also devolves. The balance between the two is determined by collective and individual potential. Now, manifestations of the two are a driving force for each. In general, life’s potential is to continue, self-enrich. “Now, what does enrichment look like?” you ask.  With the current human consciousness, it is modeled individually for both selfish and benevolent motivation. The balance between the two can be marginalized by circumstance. Individual and collective influences move the needle in different directions. Evolution has a potential of both directions of influence finding common ground, and this is achieved by influence from the True Natures.

Appraising both sides of a coin can reveal its nature. Such it is with the human condition. When you merge the two influences in society and individually, something more is revealed. Some might see this as destiny. But some still live in confusion, favoring one influence over another.

So the question is asked, “What is meant by enrichment?” Potential, peace, harmony, re-creation, change, renewal, and new beginnings. So, the lesson for this journey is an insightful observation and grasp of both sides of the coin, so to speak, and what it can reveal. Looking for harmony, coordination, and cooperation gives the coin meaning and potential for enrichment. Namaste.

Comments Off on Elements of successful coexistence

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, ,

JANU:    Understanding the nature of life expression, no matter the reality, includes coexistence. And the nature of coexistence is the expressions of life, mutually beneficial. Now, in the midst of this, the times change, evolution appears to evolve through the dissolution of certain expressions for the purpose of re-creation in new ways. A limited view is that this is destruction, but in the larger view, it is change, creativity through reassignment of resources. The building of a building in its materials involves consuming resources to create something new. This is Life in motion and existence is re-created to evolve into new expressions with diverse potentials and opportunities for their realizations. And the march goes on. From limited perceptions, it is a challenge to perceive this dance of life as positive. Coexistence does not mean status quo. It means the evidence of life expression evolving simultaneously.

Human consciousness has a tendency to want to hold on to these expressions of life for stability, predictability. This is an illusion. Adapting to change and evolution is a powerful way to coexist. So, self-examination is worth while. Adaptability to change is security for ongoingness. Successful change is a continuation of creative expression and adaptability. All of the elements of coexistence are in motion. Be open to the coexistence of an individual adaptation on each one’s unique journey. Be attuned to collective reality, including your own. Namaste.

Self-governing—collective social gov’t

Comments Off on Self-governing—collective social gov’t

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening, The Human Condition

, , , ,

JANU: Self-governing for a society entails a measure of awakening through conscious union. It can begin with a desire to find common ground with others. What do you have in common as a foundation for mutual benefit? Reaching into the vast possibilities, embrace a model that evolves, changes, grows, realizing a greater and greater potential. What relationships and structures can benefit everyone, appropriate to each one’s potential? Discovering the reality of mutual connection, perceiving with a perspective of understanding coexistence of individuality and common good or benefit.

The imposition of laws and regulations imposed by a few does not carry the insight of collective consciousness, integration, and the wisdom each one possesses from within. In a world of many creatures, “nature” if you will, the benefit in productive consciousness effects all nature, for it is all connected. Even the behaviors of creatures of the world will evolve. Humanity will come to realize these many levels of contribution to the rest of nature. The direction this takes is a choice. Humanity unawakened does not realize it is not alone in this. All of life is in motion, attempting to realize its potential and evolve into new possibilities, new achievements which set the foundation for even more.

Self-governing is much more than current politics and legalities. Everyone is involved, learning, growing, understanding, and awakening to a larger life. By any comparison, many are still in slumber. The veil is not fixed or permanent. It is temporary. Self-determination and awakening move beyond any limitation, based in a growing wisdom as to the nature of Life. Each one has a legacy of insightful wisdom, of experience, memories. This of course takes initiative, assumption of responsibility, standing in your truth, and exploring it. This is government by the people who have common ground in their True Natures. Namaste.

Being at peace is liberating

Comments Off on Being at peace is liberating

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   We are pleased once more to bring to the fore that which presents itself as Life, the source of being, the force of creation and evolution. Let it be announced that there comes with this an implied and suggested and encouraged obligation to embrace your own Nature, which is at one with Life. Resisting this opportunity only leads to a delay but, in the larger reality of Life, time is a perception, Life omnipresent, ongoing, eternal.

Endure, if you must, your choices in life. Learn from them. Become wiser. See them as opportunities to become more conscious. Grow in your love and respect for your own Nature. Rewards are countless. The opportunities are to marvel at. You are the road sign to all the paths in life from which to choose. Grow in your perception of these opportunities. Experience the life that you are.

In many ways, others mirror you but unique in their way of interpretation of choices, for it takes all of life to understand all of life and the changes to come. Can you not see that all of life is connected, no matter the diversity or uniqueness? Everyone is your partner, in some way, and that relationship changes as you both evolve and the opportunities are presented to awaken.

Being at peace removes preconceptions, limited biases, misinterpretations, and delays you have chosen. Be at peace, which is a powerful and liberating state of consciousness and being. Namaste.

JANU:   Established as one, we begin again this dialogue of light. Establishing, then, once more the momentum of being. Reaching, then, into the vastness of the Truth of Life, some call the Light, we choose to see and understand what is.

Let us begin, then, by announcing the forthcoming of a degree of enlightenment, a threshold to be achieved by humanity through self-determination and their own True Nature. The future is not doom and gloom. It is awakening to the full potential of life, individual being, and an enriched and awakening society. Preparing, then, for productive and meaningful connection and exchange with the Larger Life that already exists.

Let us proceed, then, through the discourses to come with an open mind and open heart and a desire to awaken. There is so much more to be experienced and service to be rendered through direct knowing and co-creating. We see at this time momentum building in this direction. There is no culmination or end to this awakening, this movement of life, for all of life is in motion, changing and evolving and creating.

We anticipate and look forward to the joy of becoming, for everyone. Solutions to challenges, the meaning of everything, realization of potential, and the joy of being coexist with your current level of awareness. Ideals and heart’s desire. We begin again, bidding namaste.

Comments Off on The power of choice

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU: It is part of the goal of all of us to find peace in everything throughout the systems of Life, including the physical, bringing clarity of observation and understanding. This is part of the True Nature of Being; therefore achievable for it already exists. One of the many challenges and opportunities of incarnate life.

See pain, discomfort, challenges as opportunities to find direction, purpose, and fulfillment. They are all temporary, for as long as you need them. They are fulfilling their purpose. Pay attention. Do not disregard. They are Life speaking to you. Own them. Understand them. Resolve them. And move on. No one is ever alone in this. The True Nature is always intimately involved.

There are many in the Brotherhood who serve awakening, enlightenment, creativity, understanding. Allow this to be your experience. It is within you, around you, and has always been there. Become the Larger Life. There are no limits except those self-imposed. The choice has always been yours to make. So choose. Namaste.
