JANU: Be aware: the wisdom and leadership needed in current conditions of this country is needed worldwide, and the call for this is global. Many countries, many people suffer from the lack of it. The U.S. is not the sole arbiter of social justice and equity. There are those in civilization more qualified but their platforms for expression have been ineffective and limited. So let the blessing be a pathway for expression of these qualities and may those who can assist be permitted to do so. So be it.

Pretense, fear and social image
JANU: Fear challenges social relationships, communication. It is sensed by others and interferes with connection, wanting to present a certain image as perceived necessary in society yet hides their feelings. Pretense to oneself avoids the pain of responsibility. Being honest with oneself about everything contributes to peace. Choose to own everything about your experiences, preferences, capabilities, and desires. Be an open book to Life. Namaste.

Perseverance
JANU: Perseverance is seen by some as a drudgery, but it is a trigger of encouragement for support, guidance, energy, and opportunity. That life pattern life responds to, in many ways. Perseverance, laced with hopeful and positive anticipation and clear desire, builds an integrity that minimizes distraction. Set your goal. Confirm your motivation and desired outcome. Continue as if it is already being answered. Then allow the process of manifestation to be your reality. Life is not impotent. It is omnipresent, resourceful. Find peace in this. All is well. Namaste.

Engaging challenges wisely
JANU: Gravitas belies the beauty, simplicity, grace, and easy flow of life. Time and again, this reality has been revealed. We are encouraged by moments of discovery of this nature. Every challenge benefits from this perspective. The strength and insight needed to meet these challenges, to resolve them, is maintained in this way. Avoidance carried to extreme is not solution. Engagement without reservation is unwise. Even-minded consideration and decision making that evolves as understanding increases is wise. Engage incarnate life with these qualities and life becomes more enjoyable with what is gained. These strengths of being inspire others as well. Namaste.

Taking a stance
JANU: Taking a stance on convictions, ideals, integrity, does not mean inflexibility, unadaptability. What it means is a continuance of those qualities in harmony with the natural order of life. A worthy path of discovery is being conscious of those orders of life and their evolution, understanding them to greater and greater depth, living as an expression of these, demonstrating their merit and their evolution, considering with wisdom the discovery of others and their merit. This way life collectively evolves and becomes richer.
This perspective is useful when observing life around you and attempting to relate as well as serve. Consider this carefully. Grow into it even-mindedly. Remain balanced and be at peace. Namaste.

A time of reckoning
JANU: The target for today resembles an arbitrary group of discontents, transferring their own confusion, bitterness, and anger to those who find fault with it. The so-called Republican Party has had, threading through it, mis-direction, loss of individual identity and integrity, dissatisfaction, and transferred blame. This form of avoidance and denial has been festering for years. The Party has no leadership to change this course. The atmosphere, politically, discourages individual integrity.
The John F. Kennedy book, Profiles in Courage, is a worthy read.
A time of reckoning has ensued, and not just for politics. Social and individual integrity are being challenged as never before with the pandemic. Courage, integrity without fear, is called for. Fear pollutes integrity and honesty and truth-telling. Fear encourages denial and blame transference. Find the fear and you know where to begin. Namaste.

Resilience
JANU: Resilience when it comes to this pandemic is born of the desire to continue, to engage life and grow or evolve. Short-term and long-term resilience allows for solution finding, and the patience to demonstrate it. This pandemic experience for humanity has tested this, and still does. Encouraging each other to be resilient is a uniting influence.
For some, it is an opportunity to take advantage, being their form of resilience. Mutual resilience, to the benefit of all, is restorative. But when at the expense of others is ultimately self-destructive. Individual consciousness cannot see this. Awakened universal consciousness sees this naturally. Choose wisely the focus of consciousness in your relationships, in your behavior. Namaste.

Potential, challenges, and evolution
JANU: Salient points to be made regarding the present and future and the Now of each. Re-emergence of valued ideals inherent in the True Nature of humanity once again finding expression, on display, challenged, tested, and evolved. Rigorous are the challenges and they must be, for they solidify potential and expression. They test resolve and creativity and promote mastership. The path ahead is not free of uncertain footing, stumbles, missteps, but includes moments of achievement, wonder and amazement and clarity. Only to be met with more challenges, for the fruits of these challenges, when well met, are rewarding. Such is the nature of expression and evolution.
The entire universe evolves in this manner, from the creation and endurance of worlds to their recycling. Find confidence in this, clarity and strength, and meet it head on.

Taking a stand
JANU: Taking a stand and holding it is the bedrock of freedom. Integrity, commitment, achievement. Each one in the current political climate must take a stand and hold it, no matter what else others are doing. ‘Falling in line’ does not describe this.
This is also true in one’s journey into their own destiny. We have taken a stand on the path of awakening to include these qualities no matter what. Every day must stand on its own. So be it. Namaste.

Comment on the Inauguration
JANU: Looking forward on the day of reckoning does not ignore the past for they are both connected. One perspective is determining what to do but the other side of the coin, so to speak, is determining what not to do. The results of each are compared as a reminder and a confidence builder. When one makes a decision, is there clarity on what it is based on? Both sides of the coin are wisely considered. This contributes to an appraisal of progress made. So focus upon gains to be made and gains that are made, without condemnation or retribution but well-being and peace, full of confidence and determination. A comment on the moment on this day.
