Forgiveness and the path to freedom

JANU: Forgiveness, then, that life pattern which speaks so deeply, and the most difficult thing to forgive is oneself. That life pattern finds a home when love comes into the life. Forgiveness is difficult to achieve for the memory lingers, the emotion returns. Denial cannot last for it erases nothing. Love is the healer.

Loving oneself seems to need a reason but difficult to find one. So experience through allowing the source of love within you to reveal itself. Allow this to become who you are. The power of forgiveness exists within you. Allow it to become you, and find peace. That is the path to freedom in the Larger Life. Namaste.

Explore depth & scope of the moment

JANU: We are engaging, if you will, pre-destiny but carefully, with caution. This is a larger perspective than moment by moment free will and choice. Life is predestined to be, but that includes limitlessness and an evolving potential. Many of these principles to understand Life, its origins, its continuation, are beyond the scope of the seeming minutia of life.

So where does the flow of life come into this? It is life in motion, which is part of the foundation of becoming. What this means, our brother, is that understanding Life cannot be limited to one realm of it, one set of parameters of existence, or even physicality.

What is vitality? The reason for the question is to explore unlimited identity, then move beyond it. Does one have to identify with any limitation in order to explore it, understand it? The binary incarnate life has a limited range of coexistent realities. So stretching one’s consciousness has merit up to a point, but possibly a wiser pursuit is focusing upon the reality of the moment. Be alert to your interests, being elements of distraction from the moment. Namaste.

Life has meaning and purpose

JANU: The circle of life goes round and round, but in the process becomes richer and richer, deeper, more integrated in its expanding diversity. There is beauty in the process of awakening. Every element adds freedom and sovereignty and self-realization and new relationship with the True Nature. Awakening is not a straight line, many changes of direction. At times, a sense of traveling in circles.

The outer and the inner life merge. Identity expands, no longer alone in life but more and more one with it. Witnessing and understanding the nature of another is endearing. Caring for another is an opportunity to become a blessing for another, characterized by love, wisdom, and the true power of Life itself. No longer just one human to another, but something larger.

These realizations are not new. They have always been part of the potential of life. We talk of peace and freedom and awakening and consciousness. They are connected. Life has meaning and purpose. Choose to own it. Namaste.

Retribution

JANU: Retribution flies in the face of forgiveness and peace, but it fuels many wars with much loss and suffering. To small and large degrees, it is a catalyst for destabilization of the realization of human potential. Another life pattern to be understood and dealt with. An alternative is standing in the other’s shoes for a moment and thoroughly understanding the circumstances.

What is forgiveness, then, but finding a way of leveling the playing field of life peacefully, without the life patterns of frustration and loss. What do you identify with? Who are you being in any circumstance? Being free to choose comes from mastering life patterns and creating those chosen wisely. Namaste.

Be and express the Life that you are

JANU:   Performance, then, is based upon capability, commitment, and unification of the elements of being. We survey this by bringing about conscious appraisal and understanding as to the group reality of integrated consciousness. The presence you sense is, of course, you, the larger you, the more unified you, the overseer of the human journey. So let us oversee this one together.

What we see here is a predominance of the pursuit of integration, the correlation of experiences, the subconscious capabilities of restoration, and the prolonged endurance of challenges. As it is said, what does not destroy you makes you stronger. And we are strong. One must choose to engage the opportunities that present themselves with wisdom. Obstacles to this are fears, anger, frustration, uncertainty, confusion, and doubt. Commitment to positive outcome is essential.

Restoring equilibrium, balance, throughout the systems is a return to the more natural state of being. Beyond the words, identify with and experience integrity of being to serve the fulfillment of chosen destiny. Realignment ensues, as does clarity and purpose.

You ask of love. It is the nature of all life to be and fulfill potential. The physical journey is as much a part of life as any other part. Bring the clarity of peace to others as well. Honor the tapestry of life by weaving your own into the fabric of existence. Be and express the life that you are. Namaste.

Live free

JANU:    Profound is the experience of total freedom. “Freedom from what?” you may ask. From ritual, from common life patterns, from repetition, from identity, from expectations of others, from isolation, from the limitations of time and space, from mis-emotion. Being at peace is freedom: freedom to be, freedom from the sense of loss. Everything you need, you already have through your True Nature. You have access to any part of life. Be at peace about possessions, security, and well-being. Leave ignorance behind. Embrace enlightenment. Live free. Namaste.

Mastering life patterns

JANU:   Understanding life patterns and relationships with them, is movement in the direction of freedom. Freedom to have a full identity to be attuned to and aligned with, whatever you desire. Self-imposed routines, habits, disciplines, biases, and the like, can be life patterns that box you in, so to speak. Self-imposed. Societal rituals. Common practices and behaviors. Conscious of them or not, they are imprinted.

Introspection in harmony with your True Nature can be revealing. This movement in consciousness is best taken peacefully, patiently, with insight, allowing many aspects to be revealed. A growing freedom to make choices that are thoughtful and wise. Now, this does not mean being devoid of any life patterns, but not being owned by them. And the ones that you employ are chosen in freedom and understanding. When attempting to discover new understandings and realities, life patterns can interfere, when owned by them. So, you see, there is wisdom in mastering this. Namaste.

True peace while engaging life successfully

JANU: Salient to today’s journey is the mitigation of life patterns that tend to negate the sense of self-discipline or control. Being critical of one’s condition unreasonably does not bring balance to life’s relationships, privately or with others. So, where does balance and reasonableness appear?

There is merit in observing life and its expressions with an attitude of ‘isness.’ When one attempts to navigate the waters of a stream or river, it becomes wise to understand and tolerate the eddies and currents, to navigate, take advantage of, and learn from through direct observation. Be forgiving of what seem to be conflicts or ‘underminings,’ for strong is the one who navigates life and what it includes successfully. And by that we mean: conscious survival, contribution, and intimacy. Still a free being, inspired and inspirational, generous and receptive, persistent and patient. Find peace while engaging life and awakening. Namaste.

Manipulation of life patterns

JANU:    Realization not only of potential but of the manipulation of one’s life expression gives more freedom to be that must carry the wisdom of the larger consciousness of the True Nature. So, in choosing this path of discovery, do so as a united being, for there are outcomes, influences, that the human consciousness is unaware of.

Altering manifestation gives rise to unlimited creativity but wisdom is in harmony with the influence on other life patterns. Life is a system, an integration of coexisting creativity. Choose wisely what you ask for. One does not walk through life in isolation. This is not the nature of existence. Everything is connected, yet there is still freedom for creativity. Use projection to see possible outcomes with the manifestation of potential. Listen to the wisdom of your True Nature. Continue to explore and discover. This serves evolution and enriches life. Namaste.

Leadership

JANU: It is a heavy burden to place leadership of a society on one person. Leadership is relationship between all members of a society. The qualities of consciousness in the society inspire those qualities in leaders. So what we look for here is the evolution of the leadership, the sense of this, in the society itself. The integrity of individuals on their finest qualities, or lack of it, can be seen in their police forces, their military, the degree of intrusiveness of the laws of government. There is the root of it. A society gets the leader it deserves.

So let us focus upon the enlightenment of humanity, each one developing leadership in managing their own lives.  As this evolves, observe the changes in social creativity, well-being, prosperity, and kindness to each other. This is true power that brings out the best in everyone. Namaste.
