Mastering challenges

JANU:    What is a life challenge, then? What are its merits? What success at wisdom comes from these challenges? Challenges can be found in every part of life. And what is the measure of success for any of these? The success is the wisdom gained, our brother, and the freedom to move on. You envision, at times, existence without challenges. A challenge can be both troublesome or a delight. The result is the same, the opportunity is the same: the ongoingness of life, mastership, and the movement through life of that needed to overcome a challenge.

How many see a difficult challenge, physical or otherwise, as an opportunity to gain understanding and a beneficial experience? Most of the energy and thought is against the challenge, attempting to push it away, ignore it, resolving it without enduring it. Some challenges can appear to be life threatening in the incarnate life. It is still an opportunity to experience its manifestation, and your ability to overcome, or repeat the life pattern at another time. Some challenges are opportunities to excel, to embrace, to find solutions, to serve life in some way.

Move from a perception that any challenge has any power over you, only what you allow it. Engage your challenges through the power of your True Nature, the Eternal You. Not to obliterate the challenge, but to master it, growing stronger with each success. Challenges are not your enemy in life, no matter the form they take. Patience with the course of each challenge yields the richness it has for you.

Negotiating with life  

JANU: For today’s journey, let us realize the magnificence of the perpetual motion of life. When illnesses occur, difficult conditions of life, nothing would be resolved or evolved or cured, if you will, without life in motion. Life flowing is what allows for all possibilities and part of the will to survive, to continue, is one with the flow of life. The natural pattern within the being to move everything forward, even beyond the personal preferences of your own existence.

Now, your innate desire to continue indicates that that nature exists in everything. Attuning to the universal flow of life can bring you clarity as to the nature of your own self-preservation instincts. This speaks of being one with all of life and also being one with your own True Nature. See all conditions as resolvable, one way or another. Sense these patterns within you and their nature will bring you understanding and confidence. Life speaks to life and communication of one kind or another takes place. If you would change a condition, speak to it with wisdom of the natural flow of life and your own True Nature. Everything is negotiable, and solutions always exist.

Merging with the True Nature

JANU:   Having wondered as to understanding the nature of the True Nature and its relationship with the human consciousness, let us explore this.

The True Nature has always been part of the life experience, incarnate and discarnate. It is the part of you that transcends time/space but, at the same time, is conscious of and present in every moment of the incarnate life. Not to be thought of as a separate being, but as who you are. The incarnate life experience is absorbed, imprinted, in what you might call the memory of the True Nature. In time, when acclimated to the truth of this, the human identity will expand to include the Eternal You. Your remaining incarnate is initiated and maintained by the True Nature. The True Nature is your permanent identity. How can your human identity be your only perception when you have had others? As you become more aware of your other journeys through life, human identity will find a different role in your consciousness.

Your True Nature records all of your journeys. Now, it is possible to function in the human incarnate life, in societies, with a larger sense of identity, but it takes getting used to for it will change and enhance all of your experiences and, to varying degrees, relationships. You’ll become more conscious of your relationships in spirit as well, benefiting from wise counsel. You will become aware of sojourns that you have had. All of this with the help of the True Nature. Why not join the larger life and the rest of who you are? Namaste, our brother.

Conscious merging with your True Nature

JANU: We are one. Establishing this frame of reference for communication and insights is a beginning. Being conscious as one entity is a co-existence of many elements of consciousness. Just as your physical body and brain, which is your physical body, and mind, which transcends the physical reality, co-exist as one, independent in many ways but nonetheless at one, mutually beneficial, each needing the other for the experience and the particular journey. Unique to the entity, you see, or unique as the entity. It is not unlike this, being one in consciousness with and as your True Nature. How can it be otherwise? But the framework evolves, becomes more sophisticated, more capable and the understanding unfolds in a natural way.

In time you will hear the voice of others as they explore this evolution in consciousness, and you will learn from each other. When leaving the body, the human imprint remains but no longer dominates consciousness, for all you have ever been and done, on any level, is imprinted. You may call memory, if you wish. For nothing is lost but remains a resource to draw upon and to add to.

Your True Nature journeys with you through life and, little by little, your relationship as one explains itself, reveals itself. And you realize you’re a larger being in a larger life with larger opportunities and a larger service. Continue, our brother. We are one in this. Namaste.

Be sure to check out the latest page on awakening, as those four also relate to this journey.

Awakening is a process of allowing

JANU:    Let us begin then by stating that the richness of life of each sojourn is influenced greatly by the inner awakening. Now, when we speak of the veil from the beginning of the sojourn, it does not close off conscious awareness of your True Nature completely.

The purpose of the ‘still, small voice,’ so-called, is to maintain the connection, for a variety of reasons. The instincts, the insights, of the youth are a response to this. Those who are older have forgotten and the connection is more vague to the human consciousness. The effort to rejoin this ‘still, small voice’ and its inspiration, its guidance, occurs for some later in life and, once begun, becomes a fairly constant pursuit for the richness it brings. And its strength grows in life as the veil diminishes, for with this comes the understanding to commit to a richer incarnate life and lessens the urge to depart from incarnation, envisioning greater freedom, a utopia.

We are not suggesting here premature awakening, but a growing maturity to include this in the life, bringing insight and sensitivity to the truth of everything. Realize that life is process and moving with the flow of life is not a function of ‘pushing’ but more a sense of allowing richness into your life, allowing awakening, with patience but expectancy, confidence, and gratitude.

Responsible observation of yourself and others

JANU: We are sandwiching in between episodes the more transparent part of the physical journey. ‘Transparent’ meaning that which is easier to see through. Some would say it’s easier to see through the ego and mind of another than of oneself. But it only seems so. How can you appraise another’s path you haven’t walked? What, then, do you base it upon? Seeing what’s in yourself can be completely yours.

What determines, then, the ease of rendering a reality in your life transparent? How much you own who you are. Your True Nature has this ability to see through the masks that are worn. The question remains: Do you really want to see behind your masks? Can you find peace with these revelations?

When you attempt to see behind the masks of others, it opens the door for judgement, condemnation, and the desire to convey these revelations to others, to the person whom you observe. But they can’t own these things, hearing from you. They must confront and own these on their own. You cannot grow for another. But you can inspire by example.

When observing any part of life, what are you capable of observing and understanding? Profound knowledge bears responsibility. Great care must be taken to inspire the sovereignty of another. Observe and understand what you may, but be kind and loving to others, and harmless. Namaste.

Primary patterns of human consciousness

JANU:    Elementally speaking, then, let us pursue an understanding of primary patterns of human consciousness and misinterpretations that lead to discordant behavior. Primary patterns are those that are initiated and evolved as the conditions of life change. And, yes, new patterns come forth from time to time. Primary patterns include survival, environmental relationships, health and well-being, creativity, loving discovery and understanding.

When you observe the current human condition, it is not difficult to see misinterpretations, misapplication, and misidentification. And, yes, identity is a primary pattern. Humanity has been asking, “Who am I?” for eons, mistakenly forming identity as the results of misinterpretation and misapplication of primary patterns.

And yes, the True Nature evolves as well and contributes to the conditioning of the outer experience. As we have said before, all the so-called ‘Laws of Life’ are mutable and the True Nature is included. So the journey of the merging of human consciousness with its True Nature involves cooperation and a desire to evolve, to create an enlightened identity continuously evolving.

Yes, we are one and a work in progress, so to speak. If life is always in motion and changing, we are part of that as well. Our bonding is essential. Let us walk into the future together. It is a rich one. Namaste.

Why not open to a larger life?

JANU: We ask the question: Why not open to the larger life, the larger you? What is there to fear? Yes, you say, “The unknown.” Why would you think that life has misery in store for you, while opening to its truth, its richness, and its love? What evidence can you base this on? Your misery is born of ignorance and fear and a lack of those elements of the larger life. Why remain isolated from blessings when you can receive them in a perfect way and participate in blessings for others and other parts of life? How many wondrous things have you learned and experienced that were new to you and unknown, that you would have missed by remaining ignorant or unawakened?

The parts of you that fear the unknown are those that wish to remain in power and dominate your life. Including those around you, who always attempt to keep you under their control, that they might use your power and your freedom for their benefit. Not just individuals, but organizations, and religions as well. How many in your life draw their power from you rather than support your own freedom?

The question remains: Why not embrace the freedom and the beauty of the larger life? It has always been offered to you, waiting for you to agree. Letting go of ignorance and embracing the unknown truth seems risky to those living in darkness. This does not require leaving the body or abandoning the opportunities of your current existence, but allowing this adds so much to who you are, how you live and relate to life.

Why not live a life in True Peace, rather than struggle and worry, frustration, depression, anger, blaming everything but yourself for your experience? Reclaim you birthright, your true power to create your life, and re-create it. The illusion of your life being yours, independent of a larger life, perpetuates the ignorance, our brother. Your true freedom is in harmony with life and its flow, and that of others.

Open to the beauty of what’s to come and you will never turn back to live as you once did. Allow this to be your experience only through agreeing with it and discover your heart’s desire with clarity and the true reason you exist at all, with fulfilling purpose and meaning. Namaste.

Getting to know the larger you

JANU:    Much of the dissatisfaction with living conditions on the Earth, by humanity, comes from a lifestyle, including all faces of society, that is created by consciousnesses yet to awaken fully to the True Nature. As awakening continues, the social condition will change. Enlightened humanity will not make the same choices and will see no profit in mutually destructive behavior.

Now, this does not mean the True Nature of individuals is silent but, when fears govern choices, it is difficult to hear the True Nature. Remember, the True Nature is constantly aware of everything about you. There are no secrets. And the True Nature is attuned to the larger life beyond time and space as well. Where is the wisdom in building on a fault line, dietary habits that degrade your health? Why do you think so many wish to end their lives? Even those who attempt to provide therapy would benefit greatly from the insights of the True Nature. And what is this True Nature we speak of but the eternal you, the you that remembers everything, attuned to the larger life and has access to the wise counsel of the larger Family of Life.

This is not to say that humanity has wasted all of its opportunities. It has gained much. But there are thresholds of illusion. The status quo does not apply. For many, life seems to travel in circles, every day much like another and no end in sight. It is as frustrating to the spirit.

Go deep inside. Love who you truly are and get to know and embrace who you truly are. You will find peace and joy, a love for life, and the fulfillment of countless adventures, discoveries, and capabilities, and your incarnate life will blossom. Namaste.

Exploring all of life

JANU: Understand that exploration of the physical universe, to be fully understood, must include an exploration of the non-physical as well. Even though these may not be one in human consciousness yet, they are one in reality. A dilemma for some is that the physical universe is measured by time and space but other realities are not. So the purpose and function of physicality is not fully understood without an understanding of the non-physical existence it is one with. Your own nature is far more than physical, with far more to understand than the physical body. So your True Nature continues on. The physical experience is a temporary one, experienced by who you are.

There will always be questions raised as science attempts to discover the nature of the universe through a physical understanding. Many scientists are discovering that the nature of physicality, physical sciences, must have much more to discover to explain what they observe. What we are saying here, our brother, is physicality is part of life but not all of it.

In time, people will consider life in this larger way, including their own nature. Even when you observe nature and the life it is, how does one species of plant communicate with another at great distance? So, when you explore life, explore all of it. And be sure to include exploring who you truly are, and we mean all of it. Be at peace, our brother, and namaste.
