Comments Off on The principles of life

freedom, Self-mastery, service to life, Truth of Life

JANU: We are employing at this time that which belongs to a deep understanding of the principles of life. What is this application we speak of, then, but one to unite humanity with the theme of its existence, which is the path of mastership and beyond. A degree of mastership can be achieved in any of life’s paths to wisdom.

These principles of life have to do with becoming one with opportunities to understand.

Another principle is to see clearly and, with unending depth, the truth of anything, any part of life, including its evolutionary changes.

Another principle is adaptation, to move with changes.

Another is the freedom to choose identification.

Another is the freedom to be.

Another is the reality of service to any part of life.

There are many more, our brother. Become conscious, then, of these principles of life as you serve life with depth of understanding. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening

awakening, journeying, oneness

JANU: We are journeying this evening in a new way. Instead of reaching for a new understanding, we allow the understanding to come to us. As it approaches, we sense its presence and the revelation is that peace is everyone’s experience, when allowed. No need to look for it to find it, to create it, to explore it, for as you allow it, it explores you, adds to its understanding by you, and in a sense, creates a new you. This peace arrives in the midst of challenges, moments of uncertainty.

This manner of exploring life is effortless. Traveling, so to speak, to an understanding is from a time-based reference. The other experience is like understanding arrives and you own each other as one. Patience, as such—or should we say, the need for it—is a non-issue. Does this not speak more of oneness? Life has already achieved the understanding you seek, and it is still unfolding. Namaste.

The inner call to awaken

Comments Off on The inner call to awaken

Elements of Awakening

awakening, connection to life, the True Nature

JANU: There is an inner call to awakening. For some, it sounds like the single peal of a bell. For others, it’s a welling up in the heart. For others, an emptiness that is filling. For others, a simple knowing. The source of this call is the True Nature itself, which is who you are, and the remembering begins.

As you respond to the call, the struggle to let go of old ways becomes a natural occurrence and effortless as the process continues. This is not a manufactured experience on your part but one that is allowed, embraced, welcomed, and cherished. A natural occurrence occurring many times before. Remembering the true oneness of your being and sensing the right timing of the call.

Now, the call is not to leave incarnate life, but to embrace it, serve it, and understand it in a larger, deeper way. One does not convince another of this through speech, proclamations, but by example and the innate connection with others, for the Truth and Light within you exists in them as well. And truth always recognizes truth.

Weather changes

Changes

cycles, harmony, nature

JANU: Let us move in the direction of climate change. Much the topic of the day. Many dance around the issue of ‘Is there or isn’t there climate change?’ Of course there is, our brother. Climate is always changing. It goes through cycles of change, of short and long duration, and has many times in the past. The human sojourn is not long enough to perceive these, save at the cusp of a change.

When one lives consciously in harmony with life, and that includes nature, adjustments are made due to understanding climate changes. Anticipates, even as nature does, these changes. Gradual adaptation has always occurred within humanity. In earlier times, humanity was more attuned to the climate and the movements of nature, for their daily existence depended upon this and their life was not obscured by technology.

What is occurring at this time is completely relevant to these cycles. Yes, humans do influence to a degree with their pollutions, but these changes are exaggerated in human perception by a growing lack of adaptability and acceptance of what is natural for the Earth. If your skin is susceptible to damage from exposure to the sun, reduce the exposure. If your diet is consuming your health, change the diet. Don’t be one who says, “I love the sun and have been doing this exposure for years.” Let go of that, our brother. Be current in the times. Be free to live in the moment.

Mastering your environment does not mean controlling it beyond its natural course, but adaptation, accommodation, and insight. These are the keys to navigating weather changes. Engage all of your life in this way, changing your attitudes, perceptions, preferences, as called for. Your spirit will survive all of this, and more. The physical body is of nature, of the Earth, of the environment that is changing. Help it adapt and cope and prosper, with an open mind and a growing knowledge of what is taking place with the body’s limits and the body’s needs. If the ground is shaking under your feet, change your location.

Create a life for yourself that is adaptable. Be one with your environment, for it is the only one you have for the moment. Change is not a mystery, our brother. It can be foreseen, understood, and its influence mastered and be grateful for each day. Namaste.

The future of religion

Comments Off on The future of religion

Changes

change, condition of human life, destiny, Truth of Life

JANU: On today’s journey we shall include the forecast of sorts into the area of world religions. The re-examination of religion will be occurring around the world, not just by individual people but by the organizations as well. A growing realization that the purpose and need for a deeper understanding as to the nature of existence, of life and individuals, is called for. Many people already know this but without the details. Religious organizations will continue to find dwindling participation. The fault or cause does not lie with the people. The organizations have not evolved but the people are evolving.

The organizations will encourage people to find the truth within them and the organization is no longer presented as the only pathway to understanding the nature of life. Every being has a connection with this truth within them, but not encouraged to be drawn upon. The organizations will make these changes, but those who are the authority in these organizations must realize this within themselves and be an example to the people they would support. A teacher must always be capable of more than they teach. That is leadership. That is example and is an inspiration to those who are growing.

Petty bickering, fault finding, and differences between religions and their so-called leaders must give way to unified expression, broad-based, multidimensional, that can inspire and serve and uplift everyone to find their own truth. Religions have become growingly irrelevant in the lives of people and, in some ways, the people have grown beyond them. But we all benefit from each other and so it should be with those who would serve the people and each other. The old understandings must give way to the future. And they will.

Change is the theme here, as always, but wise change, enlightened change, profound change. As we have said before, genius lives within everyone. Help each other find it and all of humanity will benefit. Each one a Temple of the Truth and an understanding perfect for each one, as they evolve. Namaste, our brother.

Mastering challenges

Comments Off on Mastering challenges

True Nature & Incarnate Life

challenges, Self-mastery, the True Nature, wisdom

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.

Comments Off on Negotiating with life

True Nature & Incarnate Life

communication, flow of life, patterns, the True Nature

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.

Climb the mountain or be one with it

Comments Off on Climb the mountain or be one with it

Oneness

oneness, patterns, peace

JANU: We are assembling the notion that life is like climbing a mountain. It can be, if that is your perception and your desire. It can also be a seemingly effortless gliding through the vast richness of life, absorbing understanding and becoming one with many realities. The True Nature is served, our brother, by all of this. And any reluctance to engage life takes more effort than to be one with it. The peace we spoke of earlier, on a recent journey, is the foundation for engaging life in a more effortless way. Climbing the mountain is one thing. Embracing it is another. Another pattern of life with wisdom to be gained. Becoming one with any reality strengthens your integrity, your True Being, your consciousness, and your service to life grows. Serenity and a passion for life are not at odds with each other. Namaste.

The nature of True Peace

Comments Off on The nature of True Peace

Peace

consciousness expansion, inspiration, true peace

JANU: We are bringing peace, the peace that liberates the consciousness, brings clarity to challenges and opportunities, the peace that supports the reunification in consciousness of the being. This peace acts as a vehicle of transport through the journeys of life. The faculties are liberated from constrictions. The constrictions of disbelief; limited perception; self-denial; the opinions of others; the negative programming from society, physicians, religions, the media; the outer and inner programming from incarnate life; even the limited perception of longevity.

The peace that supports a larger view of life and your own being. The peace that supports standing in your truth and your integrity. The peace that allows you to know the truth and the shadows that conceal it. The peace that supports an inquiring mind that can absorb more of life. A peace that, by example, inspires others to allow it. The peace that can embrace a harmonious blend of order, clarity, creativity, and change in your life. Peace that allows seeing the Truth for what it is and what it is not.

A free and happy being, filled with gratitude and love for life. Namaste.

Making choices

Comments Off on Making choices

Miscellaneous Journeys

awakening, choices, diversity, the True Nature, wisdom

JANU: Today’s journey is processing choice, meaning: What is your chosen pathway to a choice? What does it include? Where is the balance in the considerations? In the predictability of outcomes, consideration of previous choices and their outcomes, external influences and their merits, and the innate ability to intuit, and the scope of consciousness engaging the task.

Where does choice begin? It begins by understanding or being aware of the choices that are present.

When does one even become aware of a choice to be made? Life presents these, our brother, constantly. The degree of consciousness is the perceiver. Even the ability to perceive a choice is part of the process.

And what is the motivation to make a choice at all? This engages the nature of human curiosity, creativity, and life engagements. This consideration can easily move beyond the scope of this journey. With so many choices, it is difficult to choose any.

So let us begin with the choice to be conscious, more conscious, and to understand what is revealed. When considering the day’s normal activities, is one open to the realities behind them? Does one choose to be conscious of more and more? How can one make a wise choice without understanding it? Once again the theme ‘awakening’ making wisdom possible, better outcomes more secure, and the collective humanity a conscious reality. How conscious are you of who you are and why you stand where you stand? What are you aware of, of your own being, when attempting to be aware of that of another?

There is no valid cookie cutter approach to understanding life, or yourself, or another. Life is too diverse for that. So this moment of consciousness is all-important, for everything you observe is changing. So, you see, choices in life are not based upon static conditions, but conditions that are in motion, with outcomes that are in motion as well. So, in essence, which train do you want to board and where is it going?

There resides within everyone the nature of being that includes insight beyond human perception. Choose to be one with this. Choose your innate consciousness. It can see fluidly beyond your current understanding. The past, the present, and the future are one in the Truth within you. All of your current thoughts, preferences, desires, awarenesses, compassions, and fears are part of this as well, meaning they are known and part of the Now.

Choose your True Nature and be well-guided in choice making. Even choice making is subject to change, from moment to moment. Always choose wisely, to the best of your ability, and have faith in your own True Nature to guide you. Namaste.
