Elements of Awakening

, , , , , ,

JANU:    The potential of Life is enormous. Being conscious as more and more of Life is part of the process of awakening. In the current incarnate condition of consciousness, for most, the direct experience of life is perceived as physical life. Lip service is paid to the unknowns of being. Many religions try to describe this, but there’s a vagueness about it.

On our journeys, the word ‘our’ refers to the human consciousness and identity as well as the True Nature, the True Nature being the so-called soul or larger being that survives incarnations and is conscious of more of life than the human personality. Conscious union, individually, has its unique life patterns as part of the process of desire by the incarnate consciousness to reunite or become one with the larger identity. The process is described as that which affords continuity and non-interference with a wise and loving pattern of awakening. Integrating a larger consciousness with the incarnate life patterns unfolds in a way that brings enlightenment to both incarnate and spiritual elements of being. Both evolving together in the direction of oneness, fulfilling opportunities of potential; therefore evolving in harmony with life.

Patience means moving in harmony with the natural order which takes all the patterns of life, of all of life, into consideration, so that Life benefits on its path of realization of potential. So, movement takes place from individual identity towards unlimited identity, or universal consciousness. Not to be rushed by unwise desires, uncontrolled desires, but allowed to unfold with patience, confidence, faith in reality, and a love of Life. So, walk the journey of being conscious as more and more of life. Namaste.

 As this is the basic premise of all I have presented on this website, there are lots of background sources to investigate, if you choose, in whatever fashion suits you. An identically named journey from 2019 offers a slightly different take on the idea, as does Progress on the human journey of awakening  from 2015. For further background, the reader may also wish to check out the page entitled Awakening to the Larger Life, which consists of various links to collections of journeys having to do with awakening.

Comments Off on Life challenges and solutions coexisting

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:     Solutions to challenges is the state of presence of mind. And what is ‘presence’ but an interface, a coexisting of consciousness reality and potential. With these in communication, in harmony, the Breath of Life speaks to challenges in a way that finds growth and benefit in that process. Challenges and solutions are elements of the one Life, along with many others. They have Life in common and Life is in constant motion and evolution. And Life evolves through all these processes, so evolve with Life and incorporate these elements into your process of living and awakening: challenges, solutions, open-mindedness, confidence, willingness, connection, and ownership through experience and understanding. Namaste.

Comments Off on The face of aggression in the Larger Life

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   The face of aggression in the Larger Life is the face of commitment, momentum, service, enlightenment, willingness, acceptance, initiative, which brings joy through revelation and experience. Being aggressive in this manner revitalizes, invigorates, sustains the flow of opportunity and challenge. The commitment to peace, change, and opportunity with something to connect with, find expression, and evolve. Embracing life in this way is fulfilling to the individual and the being, and inspires others with its magic. Retreat from life is not the same. Everyone on their path embraces hope, longs for fulfillment, finds joy in service and uplifting others. Understand that True Natures share, understand these things, and support them. As you grow, do your respect. Admire and experience your own. See others in the same way, as Life evolves and becomes more. Namaste.

Elaborating on the destiny of humanity

Comments Off on Elaborating on the destiny of humanity

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , , ,

JANU: Once more, it is time to elaborate upon the destiny of the evolution of humanity and the Earth. This would be understood more clearly with conscious awareness of other civilizations on other worlds, for there are patterns here of similarity. But humanity is not there yet, for this kind of exploration. Here and there, journeys of this nature are taking place, but not publicly. The paths are not identical, but the outcomes relate. But Life is Life, no matter the coloration or the moment. We all have life in common and it is our medium, our commonality of communication and destiny. But the goal in life is not sameness. It is fulfillment of potential, of diversity, with the commonality of life. One Life, countless faces.

Exploring the search of humanity for life elsewhere in this so-called universe is part of looking for fulfillment and destiny, for that is part of it. But there is so much more to become conscious of and as. A mixture of teamwork, cooperation, and individuality and diversity, mixed together as part of the symphony of Life.

Taking your cue from intuition. Being inspired and then processing opportunities to find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. Always evolving, always growing, always in motion. Fulfilling time into timelessness (LINK to what is discarnate life like? posted 28 June 24). Identity expansion into patience and commitment. Appreciating the limitations of identity into a single sojourn. Becoming ‘conscious as’  reality beyond this. Finding peace in the midst of exploration and new thresholds. Owning that identity is temporary, serving a limited purpose but ready to allow it to expand into something more. Entering thresholds of discovery, exploring them, mastering them, and moving on, all at the same time. Namaste.

A commitment to Life

Comments Off on A commitment to Life

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   Encompassing possibilities in awakening, in engagement, in outcomes at many times feels like wondering about not only potential but today. Let us assume, then, that as potentials they are real and Life is the source of them all. So, how does one then engage any one of these and bring about a clear understanding as to their nature, availability, and status?

It is done so by a commitment to Life and to its fulfillment. The chips will fall and be fertilized by these commitments. And, of course, opportunities engaged in sprout new ones and life goes on. But its portrait evolves as Life renews and the opportunities flow. Committing to Life dissipates fears, distrust, anxieties, doubts. The focus is commitment to Life’s unfoldment and enrichment. It fills the empty spaces.

So, make a commitment to knowing, to discovering, to overcoming, to growing, to expanding, to succeeding, and to wisdom. Love it all into your life, now.  Namaste.

More on the purpose of life

Comments Off on More on the purpose of life

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   Hearing the call, no matter where it seems to come from, to return to, to know, to understand, to remember your own True Nature is not always understood for what it is, what it means, and who you are. A confusing journey of what to let go of and what to embrace. Identity is in one instance an obstacle, and another an open door. The weight of verification is based upon experimentation, trust, the integrity of experience, and wisdom.

Life seems to have so many faces, each calling in different directions. Determining each one’s source is a challenge. How do you recognize what you are and what you are not, in the midst of all this clamor? It comes to choices, commitments, and discernment. The phrase “love into your life”  is Truth, which your True Nature will reveal. A process of discernment and awakening, verified through application and direct knowing.

We have explored the purpose of life, which is to be. And that is evolving as well, always in motion. Life is not an end point but a journey of being. One miracle of Light among many. Philosophy is one thing. Realization, understanding and wisdom, and creativity is another. Everyone has a friend they can trust: their own True Nature, which is Life in motion. Allow your beingness. Awaken to the truth. Create in harmony with Life. Fulfill its reason for being. Namaste.

The expression of Truth

Comments Off on The expression of Truth

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , , ,

JANU:   The Truth comes out, is revealed, manifests, creates along the lines of natural expression. By this we mean: Life is, we are, but the diversity of existence includes relationships that seem otherwise. When making choices in one’s own creativity, imagination and desires at times seem to conflict with observable existence. How does one, then, determine, perceive, understand these diversities in any light available? The successes of creativity, in the form of motion that flows with the ongoingness of Life’s reality, is observable as well and brings about revelations of deeper understanding and creativity.

Life in motion is constantly changing. The experience is a great revealer. Different realities have different paths of existence and revelation. The veil serves a purpose through focus. The existence of diversity with focus is through identity. All of Life realities coexist but their path of evolution and motion can overwhelm the consciousness of each identity’s reality of perception; therefore, the existence of time, relativity, space.

The experience brings understanding but there are processes of assimilation. Impatience is not easy to rein in. Thinking only in terms of one sojourn, one can misunderstand these processes and become impatient. Wisdom breeds patience. A worthy goal, you see, to not only understand Life but gain wisdom of its unfoldment. Namaste.

This relates directly to the previous journey and may make more sense if they are read together.

Comments Off on What is discarnate life like?

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU:   We are remembering when the discarnate life was the dominant consciousness, focus. Freedom to travel, so to speak, in simultaneous directions, so to speak. We had an entourage of like-minded, who began each journey with collective consciousness of experience and wisdom, to be opened to a more complete consciousness of the reality explored. Time and distance not realities to impede the duration of these journeys reaching into the duration of interest.

Personal identity was unlike the incarnate life. Not easy to describe in incarnate terms. Identity was based upon collective experience, understanding, perceptions. Identity with and is the depth and nature of life patterns matched and created. Vitality varied with involvement. Contributions to life were through connections. They still are. Shared consciousness, understanding, and life patterns formed relationships and still do. The veil has focused, and limited in some ways, involvements on a conscious level, but only temporarily, for the duration of the journey.

The sense of time and distance has limited patience and the drive to accomplish quickly. Productivity becomes imperative.  Timelessness  is seen as laziness but can be more productive, so to speak, in expansion of engagement and understanding. Sense of purpose has more depth and scope, but all of this is acceptable and in harmony with the Nature of Life. Namaste.

Comments Off on Enrichment

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU: Numerous events in time and space beckon the call of the survivors of life. Mutual enrichment is the theme. Be enriched by enriching life, not just entities as yourself but beings of consciousness no matter the degree or nature. The purpose of enrichment, as you ask, is the continuation of existence on all levels of reality, the potential for life, which is beyond understanding at this time for most.

Now, enrichment covers a lot of diversity, meaning, and purpose. Allow your consciousness, your senses, your perceptions to touch and experience and understand, little by little, reality beyond reality—the vastness, the nature, the content, including time/space and beyond. Allow sensitivity to flower, your own Nature included. It’s there. It has its own existence. And all existence, whether physical or not, coexists.

Become conscious as  universal life to a growing degree, becoming one with the nature of reality. Perspective and purpose, meaning, understanding, contribution, benefit is all one. Being conscious as a physical being is only part of it. Being conscious as more and more of Life, and its True Nature, is another. The limits of physical life are not the limits of your True Nature.

What is timelessness? Sense its reality as you once journeyed through a singularity. Explore coexistence as life in motion. That is part of your Nature. Be One—an  expanding, exploring Being. Namaste.

Recovery

Comments Off on Recovery

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU: Recovery begins our journey. Life recovers its momentum with each surge of change. Individual life journeys can be seen the same way, recovering momentum from change. One might see change as recovering newness, freshness, beginnings, inspiration, and insight into outcome and possibilities. Change is an exciting time. One is recovered as more of Life.

Staleness is replaced with new purpose, deepening enlightenment, with echoes of the past succumbing to movement of the future. What changes is The NOW . The Now is alive with potential, the vehicle of Life is the chariot. The directions that are possible are without limit, shaped by the echoes of the past, refined by the potential in the Now manifesting in the future.

Allow recovery by letting identity expand, change, evolve. Evolution and refinement are partners in the Dance of Life. Old acquaintances begin anew. New acquaintances evolve with a history. Discovering each other is the journey of miracles. Discover how rich life can be. Allow the time and patience to enjoy the flavors. Live confident that Life continues and its nature is indestructible, due to recovery. Allow your life as an individual to recover. Others can do the same thing. Namaste.
