What is awakening?

JANU: Where is the passion, then, to awaken? The joy of discovery, the freedom of understanding, the love of service, the enrichment of life? Awakening is a natural process, available to everyone. “Awakening to what?” many may ask. The Truth of Life, of one’s existence, of relationships, each other and the rest of life.

Awakening brings peace through revelation. It brings harmony to all the systems of life. No longer contradicting each other, but working together in harmony, every one of them evolving. There are systems of life beyond the physical body. Awakening touches them as well. Life without this is like a dream state, full of confusion, contradictions, misrepresentations, misinterpretations. Life can be exhausting, instead of invigorating.

True power is life in motion, evolving. What is the connection, the coexistence of everything? What is the reality? Who are you? What are you? What can you be? Deciding to know is a step on the path of awakening, without preferences in the face of the Truth of Life.

Simple joys, if only for a moment, have far reaching effects. They are a wonderful foundation for awakening. Find them in your own life. Inspire them in others. Namaste.

Mastering change through awakening

JANU:    The realization of the coexistence of challenges and evolution, the flow of life, opens the door to a deeper understanding of co-creation and these challenges to evolution. Awakening affords the opportunity to manage change, challenges, without waiting for the destructive hurdles that can ensue forcing change. So change in harmony with the flow of life is the key, through insight, understanding and acceptance.

The destructive side of challenges is cause and effect, from life patterns that have become fixed. Frequent inquiry into the need for change and the openness to understand it and embrace it is a more peaceful path in the flow of life. Learn the signs, the language of change: encouragements, the insights, and the desire. You are life in motion.

Challenge thoughts and desires of sameness, continuations of any one pattern in life. Become a conscious being in motion, not blindly but with insight and wisdom. Your True Nature is the doorway to achieve this. It is you. Awaken to the larger reality of being. Namaste.

Systems of life 

JANU:  The tree is an example of your request to explore life and serve as well. The tree explores its environment, takes from the earth and gives to it, is nourished by it, the Earth. And serves the Earth with vegetation, organic material. A system of life that endures. Humanity and the like do this as well. The efforts at refinement have eddies in the current of life that seem like reversals, contradictions, and destructive. The physical universe is the same.

A system of life includes change, evolution, modification, energy expenditure, all of these things and more. But life goes on. Realizing potential is not a path without these things, but the potential is Life in motion as it is realized. So where is the fault in life’s processes? What ideal might you profess that is superior?

Your True Nature evolves as well, realizes potential, changes, creates, enriches, and is nourished by the processes of life. Timelessness and time/space coexist. Enlightenment reveals this, and its benefits, the processes, the evolution and the enrichment of each other. Viewing life in new ways from time to time is challenging and calls for the patience for insight to reveal its nature. Namaste.

Life is an adventure. Enjoy it!

JANU: In the adventure of life, much more productive wondering and exploring about potential, in understanding, in consciousness, in creativity, in the elements of being and the vast range of the reality of living life. Much for humanity to consider and, with the considerations and the explorations, the generation of even newer and more beautiful opportunities. A nature of life yet explored by many. They sit and contemplate possibilities. Life is a platform, a foundation without limitations for exploration, manifestation, realization, and being. For some, documenting imaginations can help focus and continue into a far reality these wonderings.

Imagine life in new ways. See yourself overcoming limitations, what lies beyond them, and what is in your grasp in this moment. The past has its merits but don’t be limited by them. The future has its potential, but keep them as open possibilities, subject to change and evolution.

Life is joyful. Love the adventure. Allow it into your consciousness. Be an evolving co-creator. Allow understandings to build upon each other and so-called failures to find resolution. Be the resolver of challenges and open the door for more. Life is an adventure. Enjoy it! Namaste.

Freedom in the face of limited identity

JANU: The criteria for the realization of human potential is the freedom to be, based upon clarity of understanding, desire to live it. Processing, observation, and understanding are a constant challenge belonging to the list of objectives delving into the imagination.

These wonderings belong to a series of events rich in dialogue and contradictions. May we say at this time that there belongs to these ownership steeped in traditions that are in lockstep with the past, needing new footings rich in the freedom of adventure and choice. We would have you know at this time that potential for evolution and creativity has always existed, not always expressed. What we encourage at this time is introspection, understanding in depth the challenges to these wonderings and what holds them locked, to a degree, in life patterns. Rich are these in potential if allowed to be free to evolve.

So the tools and the promise of life are inherent in every moment and all of life’s patterns. Decide to be the wonderings that inspire you. Live the opportunities that Life presents. They are the answer to the call of humanity. Namaste.

Desires and solutions

JANU:    Enormous challenges met simply produce enormous results. Exploring the merits of size or importance, one returns to simplicity to gain perspective on the equality of life. Considering degrees of importance can distract from the power of any truth and its progeny. We would say this about that: that considering approaches and possibilities without end produces confusion, not creation. Recognize the power of understanding by the depth and breadth of its simplicity. Then, leave the ruler behind and get in motion. Do not confuse complexity perception with the power of simplicity. The answer to desire is in the desire. Namaste.

Freedom

JANU:   Systems of life, at times, not understood as the coordination of freedoms to be, to create, to enrich, to fulfill, to realize, to understand, to become. Life has many faces. Which adventure does one choose out of so many? What is the tone of the choice? Is freedom the theme, or part of it? Giving without requiring reward; the joy for another’s joy; the peace that enriches everything; the contentment combined with the desire to explore and understand. What is freedom, then, but these, and more?

One experience is that another’s freedom is their own, for they are one. This kind of freedom, this tone of freedom enriches all of life. To gain without diminishing another but to lift them as well is freedom. We of the Brotherhood grow in this way, with more to understand and become. This is life exploring Life, to sustain and be sustained, to enrich and be enriched, to understand and be understood, the beginning of peace. Namaste.

Helping humanity evolve

JANU: A rich gamble, moving in this direction of helping humanity evolve into the Light. Life expressions are a gamble, in a sense. Realigning potential is not written in stone, so to speak. Fortunes of opportunity taken are part of the fluid or movement in an ocean. Revolutions are not permanent, as such. They are stepping stones on the path of potential realized. Life in the moment is the power behind past and future. Focusing the attention in The NOW is more universally revelatory of reality. The freedom illusion of the past and the future are mere shadows compared to the freedom of the Now, of the moment.

So let us explore the moment of reality when observing the past and the future. Namaste.

Darkness into Light

JANU: Understanding and helping humanity evolve, peace in the face of frustration, is a challenge. Moving in the direction of peace brings clarity and understanding and a vision to evolve. Let us portray what we see and what can be seen.

We see a mixture of struggle, failure, perceived failure, some hopelessness, anger from frustration, brutality from the anger, frustration from lack of solutions, pain and suffering, of regret and losses, ill health and lack of peace and harmony, self-doubt and isolation. The alternatives to these are masked because the Light, the Truth of Life, seems dim and distant.

Alternatives to these in the daily life are moments of kindness, understanding, patience, wisdom, yet certainly recognizable—if even for only a moment—without understanding why. Kindness always brings hope and strong memories. The desire to emulate the joy and enriching the life of another, the increase in self-worth, integrity, and gratitude for living. The desire to terminate life is replaced with the joy of fulfilling it.

Look for examples to manifest. Observe what they build. Continue with these. Namaste.

Being Life loving itself

JANU:    Pondering the large questions about existence and life can be an avoidance of what is at hand, even though related and coexisting. What guideline, then, influences the focus of attention for the purpose of exploration, understanding, and evolution in consciousness? The true interest of the moment  that one is connected to has to do with purpose. What is the nature of purpose, then, but the manifestation of potential? What is the nature and quality of that potential in the moment? It is to be. And what would you be? The love of life, love as life, life loving its own potential. The motivation of life in motion is to explore itself, to create and realize, not in terms limited to physicality. So focus in the moment on Life loving itself and all that it is, without preference. Namaste.
