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.

Comments Off on Mutual enrichment

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

challenges, consciousness, harmony, opportunities, perspective, systems of life

JANU: Mutual enrichment is the theme here, the alternative to wars, violent conflict, partisan politics at the expense of the community, of the people. Mutual enrichment belongs to a path of life discovered on other worlds that benefits everyone and reinforces resilience to the challenges of life. Many do not feel resilient or see a path to this. What they see is chaos, disorder, conflicts of interest, and certainly not peace or harmony among the systems of life.

Mutual enrichment includes all of the systems of life, in one form or another. Enrichment is not limited to physicality but to consciousness on all levels. Mutual enrichment comes from a different perspective, a different attitude about the reason for living, the opportunity of living, the destiny of living. Overcoming challenges strengthens the reality of this. Resources for enrichment are depleted in the presence of conflict, violence, struggles for individual power.

Life is rich with opportunity. Inner wisdom is a profound resource not consciously embraced by most. Because of this fragility a few can take advantage of the many, not realizing how they diminish true enrichment. Life is sustainable when being in harmony with it, for nature has its own integrity of existence.

Israel and Palestine are an example to learn from. Surviving with others paying the price is not success, but wasteful of opportunity. Focusing on mutual enrichment brings revelation into these elements of success, when this takes place.

Being on the path of mutual enrichment enriches everyone’s harmony of their systems of life. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

awakening, consciousness, oneness, potential, presence, responsibility, Service

JANU: Incurring responsibility takes many forms. Many forms are needed for the needs are diverse and many. Service to life takes many forms as well and many are needed. One not greater than another, but different enough to fulfill the most needs. Your confusion in this area is due to awakening to the different forms of service and ability to respond.

What we see in this is the power and effectiveness of being. Not just words and ideas but presence, qualities, potential. Consciousness and vitality, the presence of Life, go hand in hand. Holding the need of another into the Light, the Truth of Life, is a subtle doorway of Light to be shined upon the need of another. Their consciousness, their desire to know, to be and understand, is their key to unlock opportunity, insight, and potential.

Do not underestimate the universal continuous presence of Life and its vitality. Being this is significant, reinforcing, bringing into clearer consciousness what has been gained. Build the stronger foundation for that yet to be gained in beingness. Embrace this with clarity that grows. Not just an idea, you see, or philosophy, but an actual presence, a part of life and its universality, its oneness, its connectedness with everything. Reinforce this foundation with this in mind, of becoming more fulfilled and fulfilling. Namaste.

The genius within

Comments Off on The genius within

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

incarnation, larger life, the True Nature, wisdom

JANU: It is true. There exists within each one the genius of lifetimes and more. Reaching within one’s own being is with a desire to awaken, to become consciously whole again, to endure and master the challenges of life successfully. Experience brings wisdom and each one, in their True Nature, retains such wisdom. Wisdom applied to the moment awakens further insight into reality and its many faces.

Now, understand this: that whether conscious or not of the genius within and the True Nature that retains it, it is there, has always been there, and is available. The challenge and the opportunity exists with each incarnation, each lifetime, each journey into the ‘third’ dimension, of which there are many and to which your True Nature exists. This reality is so close and present that it would astound you how available it has always been. For even if your True Nature has yet to experience a part of life, it has access to it, can attune to it and discover its reality. We have demonstrated that. Any question on any subject with a true desire to know can be responded to with wisdom.

The current conscious awareness does not reveal all that you are. You have a larger life, always have, and always will. Each lifetime physically is temporary but you are not, for life exists ongoing, ever changing, ever evolving, and ever creating. Find fulfillment and freedom in the moment with each revelation and diversity of being.

There are no secrets in the Larger Life. That is an illusion of the limited third dimensional consciousness, for all of life knows all of life. Be the evolving genius that you are with each footstep you take on this path of awakening to the Larger Life. Namaste.

Conscious union & power of singularity

Comments Off on Conscious union & power of singularity

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

coexistence, conscious union, identity, looping reality of life, singularity

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.

Exploring the Earth

Comments Off on Exploring the Earth

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

destiny, evolution, identity, life in motion, potential, wisdom

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

co-creation' freedom, coexistence, reality

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

awakening, evolution, incarnation, larger life, the veil

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.

Comments Off on The true nature of negative & positive

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

balance, enrichment, evolution, potential

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.

Elements of successful coexistence

Comments Off on Elements of successful coexistence

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

coexistence, evolution, life in motion

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.
