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.

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.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

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.

A life of change

Comments Off on A life of change

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

Comments Off on 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.

Comments Off on A growing identity

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.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

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.

Comments Off on Exploring self-awareness

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.
