The diversity of life

JANU:    Trying on, for a change, our trajectory of inquiry to include other species of  life incarnate, in a sense, extraterrestrial. There are those that exist with human characteristics and those you would not recognize. And yet these are sentient beings with prolonged life spans. As a result, their evolution in consciousness and incarnate experience have a real wisdom pattern evolved in different directions by way of continuous opportunity.

Some telepathic with a lifestyle to match. Some see in a different light spectrum, relating to life in different ways. There are those very sensitive to energy and direct knowing. There are those in a state of peace, without wars and violence. There are those who self-levitate and the perspective that comes with that. And, yes, there are those who are aquatic and see life differently, using their fluid environment as a medium for communication and interaction. The point of all of this being the diversity of life is rich and extends beyond this universe. And there are those energetic beings where one universe is not a limitation.

What these all have in common is the nature of Life itself.  Beingness beyond identity is a reality. Identity is a rich field of opportunity to explore elements of life, at one under the umbrella of Life itself. Identity has the illusion of uniqueness, separation, isolation, and, with humanity, the competition for power and resources and control.

Life is so much larger than this, but includes this as well. Worthy of exploration is the question “What really matters and what is your relationship with it?” Namaste.

What is the Richness of Life?

JANU:   What is, then, the ‘richness of life?” How does one perceive it and relate to it as being part of it? The pulse of life is a composite of countless elements of life in motion expressing potential, engaging each other. One reality of many. As in a cave of darkness, one can feel its presence.

What is richness, then, but the diversity of being. Coordinations, competitions, challenges, service, cooperation, discovery, new understanding, beginnings, cycles, endings, vitality, peace, embrace, uncertainties, convictions, and love. Life is all of these and much more. Words can describe a few. Wordless experience and knowing invites the rest into consciousness. Namaste.

Understanding & experiencing beingness

JANU:    We are shedding more light on the diversity of life as pertains to awakening into the Light of one’s own truth of being, individual and collective light. Let us begin in this way.

What is being? Being is an isness, a reality amongst realities. Its nature is to develop and enrich life through the engagement. Life’s potential of diversity provides opportunity for countless possibilities of development. The natural path of these speaks to what to some might be enormous richness but, as one awakens, one realizes that the micro and the macro are one. Each coexists in the Now. The illusion of separateness, borders, if you will, of expressions of life are a matter of limited perception for the purpose of understanding and exploration. Consciousness and the Truth of Life are partners on the journey of being.

Life itself has potential through expression, engagement, interplay, and evolution. Life in motion is evolving, all of life. No two paths are the same. Diversity is its richness. Every expression makes contribution.

Isness is the key to understanding essential nature of being. So allow your beingness to be, which means to express, to engage, to become one with, to become more conscious. Consciousness of leads to consciousness as, which is a springboard to more. Be life in motion, ever changing. Namaste.

The nature of the True Nature

JANU:   Human consciousness, psyche, is dominated by the veiled reality. The True Nature does not have this limitation. It is conscious of, and as, many realities. Its life includes journeys into other worlds, other realities beyond physicality. It is a creator, to a growing degree, into the nature of life in harmony with many other so-called dimensions. It is ancient in terms of time, but timeless in larger realities, or subtle realities. Its reality is beyond individual beingness. Difficult for the human ego to grasp but the memories are there.

Remembering who and what you truly are has always been. Attuning consciousness is evolving in that direction. We are as close as a shift in consciousness and identity. Human reality is a small element of True Nature reality. Concerns of existence physically can seem overwhelming and, at times, insurmountable. But from the more complete perspective of the True Nature, it is very temporary. But wisdom is still to be gained there, along with contribution to the evolution of life.

To the human consciousness, physical survival seems like as important as existence itself. What we have encouraged here is the peace and confidence that comes from the reality of the True Nature and the Larger Life. This contributes to balanced perspective, reasonableness, wisdom, harmonious relationships, inspired discovery and creativity. Allow the consciousness of larger reality of being. Become a conscious partner in ongoingness. The range of one sojourn is not the concern, but the content for the experience is significant.

As one becomes conscious in this way, one becomes conscious of the larger life in others, which creates a strong foundation for tolerance, compassion, understanding, and service. Namaste.

Identity and universal consciousness

JANU: The subject is the range of knowing and not knowing. Not knowing with doubt, confusion, frustration, unfulfilled desire. Knowing with fulfillment, imagination, creation, possibilities, understanding, desire to explore and grow, to fulfill existence. Both exist in a single point called transition. Choosing transition is to move from one to the other. Consciousness makes the transition. First conscious of and then, through connection and engagement, conscious as. Knowing of moves to knowing as. One is observation. The other is intimacy.

Intellectuality is knowing of. Intimate embrace is knowing as. The challenge is identity shifting. Most identify with the transition into knowing of. It is with a perception of separation, something outside yourself, a thing, a fact of existence. The other a transition into universal consciousness, embracing more and more of life, becoming one with.

How does one transition from identity to universal consciousness? The question is “Can they coexist?” The answer is “They can.” For universal consciousness embraces everything, but not owned by any one of them. So in a sense, identifying with everything through coexistence. Otherwise, it’s an identity of ‘this and not that,’ instead of ‘this and that.’ Choose wisely what you hang onto in the direction of separation. Evidence of this is the reality that we are one. Namaste.

Living in the Now with freedom 

JANU: The Light is descending upon the reality of the moment, perception of which begins with the freedom of being. To many, this is a fearsome possibility, for the unknown in the veiled existence has much uncertainty. Confidence in the freedom of being is found in the conviction, the hope and desire that freedom brings the truth, the diversity of life, the ongoingness of life, with strength and beauty, clarity and joy, understanding, peace and love. The incarnate life has all of these but the challenges are not seen for what they are, only as confusion, frustration, and life being against you.

Freedom is powerful, indestructible, full of conviction, confidence, and determination. It is in harmony with the Truth of Life. Living in the Now, perceiving in the Now, expressing in the Now shines light upon all of life. Choose to see into the truth of everything. No one is ever alone in this. All of life is connected. Embrace the Family of Life. Namaste.

Living in the Now – 3

JANU:   Being in the Now consciously is powerful, for it combines the illusions of separateness into one all-inclusive reality revealing the connection of everything, the presence of everything, of all perceptions, all desires, and all potential. Opening the consciousness to The NOW  is a reality larger than individual identity, of any sense of separation, isolation.

Creativity is thwarted by isolation. Individual identity continues this. An alternative to individualization is the freedom of oneness. Nothing to prove, justify, regret, or make claim to. ‘Isness’ is peaceful and has its own pattern. Engage life more fully in the Now. Namaste.

Living in the Now – 2

JANU: The concept of time is worthy of exploration. The social understanding, and scientific as well, has integrated the perception into so much of life experience.

So what is time, then, but that which proceeds? Time is used to measure the speed of progression, the history and the future of progression, but it is imprecise, subject to interpretation and shifting points of reference. Even time, understood in this way, is fluid.

Without a reference, what is time? And if there is a reference, it is also in motion and fluid in its foundation of existence. How does one perceive progression without reference? Life in motion is the reality, but time is part of life as well and is in motion. So it is a temporary frame of perception, to give the illusion of stability, regularity, repeatability, so-called measurement.

Being in the Now resolves the issue of time, for past, present, and future, so to speak, are one. The perceptions exist but simultaneously in the Now. The division of the Now into these three terms of reference, one loses the coexistence of these three and their relationship in the Now. There is a tendency to dwell in one of the three to the point of frustration, lack of control, and futility. The nature in each one to explore and discover feeds progression. So, you see, there is the Now of the future, the Now of the present, and the Now of the past. And each of these three find common ground in the Now.

What is peace, then, but the harmonious relationship between all of the elements of life, of consciousness. These three find peace as their nature is included in the all-encompassing Now. So be at peace in the moment. Namaste.

Living in the Now

JANU: Consciously living in the Now reveals the Now reality of the flow of life where past, future, and present are one. There is a profound peace in this, for focusing upon that which has happened and that which is yet to happen is living in the past and the future.

Being in harmony with life is being in the Now. Healthy body and healthy consciousness find their balance and harmony in the present. Intimacy with life is in the present. Forgiveness, love, harmony, the richness of life is in the present. Life in the present has no need for wars, manipulation, repression, violence, deception because in the present the truest reality exists, as is the consciousness of Life itself.

Live each day to the fullness of this. Your intuition, your True Nature, the Truth of Life are always present. Become aware of the total you and live life as that. Namaste.

 The concept of ‘living in the Now’ has been a recurring one. So much so that a collection of journeys titled The NOW has been compiled, which the reader may wish to peruse.

The evolving circle of life

JANU: Exploration of the Larger Life (the macrocosm) includes the microcosm as well. Gross manifestation and the microcosm are one. An insight and a grand design initiated by that insight speak to a chain of life, for the macro creates the realization of the micro, which continues the cycle of life, the realization of potential, and the evolution of potential, for all of life is in motion.

Observe your own existence in this way. The incarnate sojourn is the circle of life, for that which survives the sojourn is a pattern of life that continues. The sojourn is but an element of that pattern and brings to the fore Life’s compulsion to be. See each day as an opportunity to evolve your pattern of life and its ongoingness, rich with opportunities that evolve and continue. Be sensitive to, cognizant of, and engaging of each day’s flow of life. Be at peace with this with a consciousness that welcomes with gratitude. Namaste.
