Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, ,

JANU: The fountain of change is a subject, for change has momentum, multiple flow patterns. Life in motion describes this. There is nothing static about life. It may seem so, in some ways, to some unaware. But change can be outside the limits of perception to the incarnate consciousness. It is useful to observe one’s own life with this in mind. Being conscious of change makes one alert to changing scenarios in all parts of the sojourn—relationships, circumstances, environments, influences, reactions, creations, nature itself. Much to be understood, observed, embraced in a life of becoming one’s own potential.

People speak of feeling alive or bored with life and their own existence. Anticipating change stimulates awakening and an incentive to explore and discover, to find the truth of everything. No two days are identical. They can be as empty or full as you desire. At least, your perception of them. This applies to understanding, awareness, faculties of consciousness, and demonstrations of abilities to embrace life.

There are thresholds of change and awakening, for understanding and perception is a process of unfoldment, deduction, experience, and wisdom, contributing to the evolution of Life. Namaste.

Mastering the many faces of identity

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU: The focus, mastering the many faces of identity, a profound treatise on a consuming journey of discovery.

The role of identity, for most, is to establish purpose and to master that purpose, to benefit from it, to display and to compare with others. Identity becomes a central focus for most, not seeing it as a transitory reality, temporary but with purpose. Identity becomes the focus for understanding, skill development, personal relationships and alliances. Identity has the scope that results from exploration, experimentation, and discovery. Identity offers peace of mind, to a degree, identifiable traits and development.

Identity gives recognition to individuals, to each other. It’s similar to accepted names, unique to a degree, different enough to reveal diversity. Some identities are cultural—skills, talents, types of personality, racial, gender, performance. They are a limitation as well, for the common roles of each identity have their limit, their range, their inclusion. Some envy or long to be the so-called identity of another, in terms of many things—profession, language, culture, economic, appearance, even ego—not appreciating their identities as limitations.

There are some who explore alternatives to this, learning new professions, new skills and talents, exploring deeper meaning and revelation of their own True Nature, who they are beyond physicality, social norms, nationalities, and, yes, even gender. This is the journey of awakening, of becoming more realized, gaining access to previously achieved understandings and abilities. The challenge is letting go of one to gain something larger that includes some of previous, becoming more a conscious collective of possibilities, creations, experiences, life journeys, with a growing ability to see this in others, whether physical or not. For they realize there is a larger Life than social humanity. It is all around them, all part of the one Life which is ever-changing, evolving, creating.

Identity is temporary, but with purpose and opportunity to focus on a path of exploration, of wisdom-gaining, and of service to life. Understanding such as this opens the door to patience, tolerance, and contribution. Find peace in this and liberation, freedom to be whatever you choose from the opportunities that come your way. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU:    Absorbing, day by day, a larger identity, a larger reality, a larger perception of life, all of life. Yes, time and distance are third dimensional perceptions of reality but they are limited in the Larger Life. Allow the perception of timelessness and the perception of omnipresence. Linger in this.

This seems to fly in the face of the perceived reality of third dimensional universe, but Life is larger than that. Only a parameter of third dimensional existence. No beginning and no end—coexistence. Let these take hold of your identity, your experience, your perceptions, your understandings.

So you see, questions and answers are connected. Perceptions and understandings are connected. Observations and experience are connected. Life in motion and evolution are connected. Life, from one moment to the next, has changed. Evolution and realization of potential. There will always be more to become. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening, Oneness

JANU:    We are one. Proceeding on this basis, let us begin to normalize, become accustomed to, and identified with conscious union. This key understanding brings about changes in perception, identity, and equilibrium throughout the systems of life.

The Larger Life is full of peace, diversity, change, life in motion, renewal, creativity, initiation, momentum, timelessness, coexistence, optimism, confidence, and the joy of discovery and realization. The veil experience hides the larger reality of Life. It is not permanent. One wakens beyond the need for it. Its function is to bring focus to the reality of life incarnate. It is not permanent. For the sojourn, you see. For all of life, all realities coexist. An evolving consciousness replaces it. One coexists with everything needed to evolve, serving life through being it. Namaste.

JANU:   Preliminary approaches to synthesizing larger amounts of understandings, one must attempt to be solid in the sense of integrity, openness, and freedom to be more conscious. To this end, we assume a measure of this with a respect for what has been gained. Let us proceed.

Self consciousness is key to appreciating and allowing its expansion. It is necessary for self-identity to be as liberated. So then, what are we, to explore the Larger Life and reveal its truth? We are that Life, exploring its own reality and manifesting and enriching its potential. What that means is: we are intrinsically becoming more conscious of our identity as our Nature being that Life. Any sense of separation fades in the presence of self-realization. Being in the Now of such reality is a natural relationship.

Move beyond words to direct and intimate understanding. Be what you already are. No need to create that reality. Thinking the need to do so is separation. Allow being more conscious of what already is. We are here and now. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU:    Enumerating the discourses of the past, your challenge for the new vista of peace-mongering, the stronger struggle for evolution in the consciousness and affairs of the world, reaches thresholds and reversals. The peace you seek is the peace you have known. Reaching into the barrel of topics for exploration, let us assume that there is, in the beginning, a source for these, but they evolve as well and the flow of opportunities, new points of light, continues.

Life itself is the great communicator. It communicates with itself, through all of its expressions, creations, through the development and processing of understanding and the structure within and because of no structure. To understand the nature of life, one must become more conscious as it. The perception of distance or separation among the realities of life is a limitation.

Let us continue to explore not just realities of life but the nature of it all. To know one’s self, live and be as one’s self. The consciousness grows in inclusiveness. A never ending journey of absorption, of observation, of change, of expansion, of identity. Does Life identify with its own Nature? Once more, a limited point of view. What is self-awareness? Explore this. Namaste.

More on conscious of and conscious as

Comments Off on More on conscious of and conscious as

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening, Oneness, Other worlds

, , , , ,

JANU:    The theme today being conscious of and conscious as intimacy of life. Being conscious has at least two dimensions of which we speak. Study, research, observation are the beginnings of understanding. Being more and more conscious of life and its expressions, its creations, its relationships, and its potential can take lifetimes of pursuit and discovery. Carried to the next stage is to be more and more conscious as whatever your interests, pursuits, even conscious as who you are in your totality.

Bringing these two together causes an evolution, not only in perception but in being. Simultaneous realities overlap and are synergistic. Conscious of and conscious as are the keys. Simultaneous existences united as one, diverse and one, open the identity which has been one-pointed, locked in place, irrefutable, which is an illusion in the face of the Larger Life.

Identity shifting is a freedom of being that allows for exploration and intimacy with the rest of life. Identity fixation becomes the norm for those unable to be conscious as. It is a survival tool in an isolated consciousness. Exploring other worlds, other cultures, other species, other platforms of life takes on an intimacy of experience and understanding when identity can shift with being conscious as. The integrity of being is broader than one identity. Coexistence is a reality, more of a profound exploration. Co-identities as well.

Being unlocked from one perception of life inspires harmony among the systems of life, which is a peace not unlike life itself, with its diversities of expression, of coexistence and omnipresence. Expand being conscious of more and more of life and your own Nature and, at the same time, expand being conscious as the life that you are and can be. We are one and namaste.
