Comments Off on Ongoing life: a mix of stumbles and victories

forgiveness, inspiration, integrity, the veil

JANU: While many have a main focus of survival physically and the care of their families, for many, spiritual survival, presence, involvement is theirs.

What does this mean then, ‘spiritual survival?’ It means the manifestation of their true integrity in their lives. An infallible guide to how they live and think, make decisions, and relate to each other. Being true to their core being. This can seem illusive, hit and miss if you will, and at times futile. But they are always drawn back to the ideal.

The lessons and strengths gained on this journey give testimony to the wisdom of incarnating and the veil and the spirit within. Life is discovery and incarnate life is rich with this. Stumbles, so-called mistakes, reversals, confusion, misunderstandings are part of the journey. They are testimony to the forgiving nature of life itself. And the promise remains, and the fulfillment, and the new journeys and opportunities still come.

Some perceive that some mistakes, so to speak, are too big to forgive. Life is bigger than any mistake you can make. They are all allowed. But the victories over and through them are always present and available.

As you are blessed by these, be understanding of others as they struggle. Be glad for their victories and their service. Namaste.

Be a truthful representative of the life that you are

Nature of Life

co-existence, diversity, magic of life, oneness, reality, the True Nature, Truth of Life

JANU: We are assembling this morning that needed for a journey into the far regions, also the near region, of the True Nature of the so-called human being. Far in the sense of seemingly long way from human awareness. Near in the sense of the intimate nature of your true reality.

The human journey has been an interesting one, full of contradictions and confusion, sprinkled with moments of truth and revelation and inspiration. Not settling on any one thing or understanding, for these truths are in motion and your anchor in life keeps moving and changing. The only stability to measure the moment on is your evolving and changing nature. Others around you, their philosophies and truths, are changing as well.

The Truth of Life that you reach for is the essence of life, which is more eternal than any creation, but it is evolving as well. How does one embrace a consciousness that is at once rooted in corporeal existence yet whose nature is finer than this? It is by accepting the existence, so to speak, of all realities, including your diverse nature. Allow each reality its validity, its nature, and its relationship with all that you are. It is not a contest of one reality being truer than another, or more vital or essential. All are needed, useful, co-existing, and mutually supportive.

Understanding the nature of life around you and the life within you opens your awareness to the oneness of it all, not preferring one part of life over another, but embracing all of life. Being at peace with all of life, and grateful for its reality. Everyone you meet represents all of this, is a walking composite of miracles called the ‘magic of life.’ Life is aware of its nature through you. As you may, be a truthful representative of the life that you are, bringing a growing clarity with less confusion. Be patient, be at peace, and engage life. Namaste.

Understanding limitation and freedom

Comments Off on Understanding limitation and freedom

Nature of Life

consciousness expansion, evolution, freedom, systems of life, wisdom

JANU: The focus this evening grants access to what some might call a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the tapestry of life. There is wisdom in limiting revelation as to the nature of life. This wisdom has support from those who are growing in their understanding of it and its application. The human consciousness at this stage of evolution is ill equipped to handle more, for knowledge is power: the power to create and the power to destroy. But limitation is not meant to be permanent. Qualifying for more understanding is the journey. Many are on this path of revelation and their reluctance to gossip, if you will, is out of respect and a love of life, that all may benefit as they are capable.

Allow your growth, expansion in consciousness, to be in harmony with this wisdom, as so many have. Any understanding has its merit couched, if you will, in the accumulation of other truths. To reach for understanding of one part of life with no consideration for what it touches lacks wisdom. The little picture and the larger are one. When knowledge and wisdom walk together, all of life benefits.

One lifetime does not describe the path of discovery or the wisdom or the benefits. Enjoy the moments of discovery, the thresholds of understanding, and the glorious manifestations that are brought, grateful for it all and the systems of life that support it. Namaste.

Thresholds of Life

Comments Off on Thresholds of Life

Nature of Life

awakening, evolution, larger life, opportunities, reality

JANU: This subject is aptly named for that is the nature of experience for the explorer.

As you have already experienced, new understandings are like the wind coming in an open window, full of possibilities, paving the way to newer thresholds of experience, understanding and service. The energy of the wind is the love that Life has for you, embracing you through and through. Every new understanding is a threshold of life permeated with opportunity. Not discarding thresholds already achieved, but building upon them, for all of these are a foundation for moving through life, embracing it, mastering it, in the sense of reproducing it and enriching it. No one needs to convince you of a threshold’s validity, for the experience does this.

Anticipate these, pregnant with expectancy. These are some of the keys for you and they to find each other. Life is not a stagnant reality. It is dynamic, rich, and ongoing, always ready to absorb change, expansion, and deepening. The thrill of life is its evolution. And you are life, as are we. Be thrilled with the growth of another, as we are with yours.

Life is aware of everything at all times, in all places, in all realities. There are no secrets. How could life evolve if there were? It would be fragmented, divided within itself. Be alert to the next threshold. Explore its meaning, its scope, its understanding, and its opportunities. Expect these and engage them. Life is worth living and always has been, and shall always be. Namaste.

Flexibility in your life

Comments Off on Flexibility in your life

Nature of Life

flow of life, inspiration, patterns, perspective, wisdom

JANU: For this morning’s journey, may we assume the position of explorer once more and reach into the fabric of life. The patterns of color, light, the currents of life are a tapestry in constant motion, evolving and morphing, if you will, into unique realities. It is well to see the human existence, a lifetime, in this way. Nothing fixed, permanent, concrete, except life itself, which is changing but always present. Choosing to see your life in this way frees you from dominance of any one pattern. Dominance in the sense of limiting your awareness of countless possibilities and the freedom to choose them.

As you build towards your future, allow this flexibility in your perception, in your plans, in your expectations, and even your achievements, for they can be seen on so many levels, in so many ways. The theme here is flexibility in your relationship, not only with your life but with your nature as well, your perception of your nature. And as you achieve this, allow this in others, in your appreciation and understanding of their life.

Now, patterns can be built and sustained but not natural for them to remain so, for the life that they are is in motion. Flexibility and stability co-existing as one, allowing for each other, depending on each other. Not just physically, but your thinking as well, your emotions, your philosophy and perspective, and what you hold true in the manifested life.

Many with beliefs hang on to them as anchors in a troubled sea, but are inflexible until forced to see differently. But even in this scenario, much is learned, experienced, and wisdom gained.

Consider your relationship with the reality of being flexible, changing and in motion, understandings that come and then are replaced. Your greatest strength and peace is to be in motion with life, adapting, perceiving in new ways as the revelations arrive, adaptability and the strength it offers. Now, flexibility is not suggested as changing with the wind or by the whims of others, but with wisdom and the inner guidance of who you truly are. Consider this carefully as being added to the principles of life that you value. Namaste.

Knowing life and allowing life to know you

Comments Off on Knowing life and allowing life to know you

Nature of Life, Oneness

co-existence, connection to life, consciousness expansion, evolution, opportunities

JANU: You’ve been musing about the co-existence of the manifest and the unmanifest. This approach to understanding is more enlightening than the physicality perceptions of one thing being separate from another, a temporary illusion or perception of the nature of life. We spoke earlier of the creation unable to describe its creator, but when the consciousness extended to the creation begins to become more at one with its creator, the understanding comes, and not from the perspective of the creation but of the creator, by which the creation benefits in understanding.

Now, this process isn’t just ‘one moment and you’re through.’ It’s an ongoing process of realization, of oneness, of co-existence, and evolves into far greater understanding and evolution of the being. Imagine connecting with another species on another world in this way. The misperceptions, interpretations, and confusion of physical first encounter gives way to a deeper, fuller, natural connection and matching understanding for both parties, when so attuned. What would take generations eons of time is accomplished in moments.

Even within your own Earth, the animal and sea life offers vast opportunity for understanding, mutual respect, and mutual service. There is so much life on and in the Earth humanity does not understand. Becoming consciously one with any element of life enriches the observer and that observed. Have you considered allowing a creature of the Earth to know you? They are capable of this and it would greatly change your relationship. Many consider animals a resource, with some moments of companionship here and there, where a resource exists in mutual understanding, cooperation, and service that is unknown.

This evolution in human consciousness is not hidden, when achieved. All of life can know this and participate. Opportunities you could not plan become available. Life is rich beyond your dreams, if you but allow it and engage it. Take this journey in understanding and consciousness development. Encourage this in your children. They are more ready than you know. Help them have a lifetime developing this. The future is rich, full of promise and achievement. Namaste.

Nature of manifest and unmanifest

Comments Off on Nature of manifest and unmanifest

Nature of Life

consciousness expansion, oneness, potential, reality, science

JANU: The physical attempt through math and other means to describe ‘nothing’ are approximations, estimates, missing elements of reality beyond their computations. But they do point in useful directions. They are like road maps on a journey, not describing everything but a practical usefulness for direction, but based upon space/time orientation. But most of life is beyond this or not limited by it. This is where direct knowing comes into play, being.

You ask, “Does the unmanifest have a source?” This is where the understanding of ‘source’ and ‘manifest’ comes into play as being one. In the finer truth, they cannot be separated. They are each other. Then the subject turns to ‘finite mind’ and ‘infinite mind’ and what is their relationship? Truth being, our brother, they are one, again. Different expressions of the same thing, suited to the tasks presented and sought. Time/space deals with exclusions, borders, where and when. That is the frame of reference. So the foundation for understanding the unmanifest is limited. Nonetheless, the unmanifest is true. So the manifest and the unmanifest are one. The unmanifest is reference in potential, the manifest is created to explore the potential, bring depth and richness to it, and expand the foundation for further exploration.

This consciousness grows into the oneness reality of superconscious and conscious mind. Added to it, becomes the ability to grasp each other. Needless to say, our brother, the dynamics and parameters of your consciousness and your life will change. Priorities expand. Life becomes more profound and meaningful. Namaste.

Grasping reality beyond the science

Comments Off on Grasping reality beyond the science

Nature of Life

reality, science, Service

JANU: The focus this evening has to do with the numbered system of life as pertains to approximations in understanding. The scientific community fancies its portrayal of the science of life, the physics and the laws and the properties, explainable mathematically, as a rational approach to research and understanding. Verifiable evidence. Understand this: mathematics exists within the parameters of life that are non-linear, unpredictable, and cannot be contained in linear approaches to the nature of life. When attuning your consciousness to realities, let it be more organic than that. For even mathematics, our brother, have a fluidity not described by the math. How does math contain an understanding of reality beyond time/space where those properties do not exist? Moving then into probabilities.

So what do you hang your hat on while exploring life and serving it? Certainly not a rigid system of understanding. Something created from nothing. And what is the nothing, you see? So as we continue our journey of exploring life, be that open and unregimented to grasp reality beyond the science. Remember, any system you employ has a larger truth behind it. Everything comes from nothing. Namaste.

Be sure to check out tomorrow’s post “The Nature of the Manifest and Unmanifest,” as it extends this concept.

Exploring and serving life

Comments Off on Exploring and serving life

Nature of Life

cycles, diversity, oneness, potential

JANU: To begin with, the two are one. Exploring and serving is a full experience of being one with life. When understood and experienced, how can you explore what you are already one with, without giving, without supporting, without nurturing? The exploration brings insight, sensitivity, awareness, and identification with. The life you explore is part of your being. To nurture and serve life is to expand the field of exploration, which brings fuller service, wiser service, and you discover there is a synergism to all of it. It becomes one and diverse in your consciousness. And there is a peacefulness behind all of it, regardless of the activity. It is the way of life and how life continues and unfolds its potential.

Even birthing and so-called death are transitional experiences, which are rich. Humanity fears death, yet partakes in it for food and shelter; welcomes and nurtures birthing, yet takes life away in brutality and violence. All of life recycles, but in different ways, but life continues and becomes richer. Ponder this thoughtfully when exploring and serving life. It will help you to understand what you explore and what you serve. Namaste.

The significance of life

Comments Off on The significance of life

Nature of Life

connection to life, diversity, human potential, opportunities

JANU: These journeys, our brother, are for the benefit of humanity, and all who will meet them. May we grasp the fundamental significance of life, for without it where is the power to create, to understand the creation and all of its influence and interactions? How can a life not have any significance? Every person matters, whether incarnate or not, whether human or not, no matter the reality. Mattering in different ways, at times, but always mattering. All of life matters, for it is all interactive, all connected, and the purpose of each one is enhanced by the purpose of the rest.

Life differentials teach us many things. When one is in hunger and one is not, it’s an opportunity. When one is sad and one is not, another. When one is destitute and one is not, an opportunity. And through the opportunity, the gaining of wisdom, and character, and understanding. It takes all of humanity to evolve into its future and its potential. Making a better life for one has its merit. Life is that one, but it’s also everything else. They are all connected. Being connected means the existence of one influences another, whether human or animal, marine life or vegetation, or the air you breathe. Depending upon your consciousness, you may seem totally alone in life or more and more connected, learning from each other. In a way, it takes all to engage and understand and observe all of life.

Your service does not begin with birth, or end with death. It just changes. The opportunities vary, the needs vary, and your perspective changes. Life is diverse enough, and becoming more diverse, that the opportunities will always be there. Hear the call of others, of their lives, by listening, feeling the truth around you and in you.

We are part of this life as well, our brother, not immune from any of it, for it is not a disease. It is the Truth. No matter how outrageous the activity, the thoughts and feelings, they are still part of life and are invested in it. The phrase “cutting your losses” does not apply here, for the losses are miniscule compared to the potential and the destiny.

Yes, life is very significant, our brother. This understanding benefits everyone, in one way or another. There are no limits to where this understanding can be taken, and your life is richer for it, and for those you meet. Value who you are, not above others or in competition, but in cooperation and coordination and sharing. Everyone is worth a great deal. Namaste.
