New Journeys

Be whole in the moment & grow

JANU:    Configuration is the theme. And Life is configured, but even the configuration evolves. To understand Life in its many forms, many expressions, one becomes more and more familiar with these nuances, their relationships, their potential, and their tendencies. Human behavior is part of this. Nature is part of this. Energies are part of this. All consciousnesses are part of this. It has been called the Tapestry of Life, but it is a tapestry that is changing and includes all possibilities.

How does one navigate through this maze, these complexities, these changing relationships and maintain integrity, focus, and destiny? One makes allowances for realities. One is alert, perceptive, and conscious.

Life is vast and growing. Observation of the path of worlds, space if you will, universe, physical and energetic, its seeming immensity is still just part of the Larger Life. So, why concern oneself, then, with these realities? As one becomes more conscious of where they are at, their moment of life, the rest of Life is involved. Life is enriched by engagement and everything matters. Personality ego seems like a grain of sand in comparison. Far reaching implications from that grain of sand.

On your journeys through life, leaving one part of life in your attention to explore another is an illusion, a product of binary mind. But the larger mind, the larger consciousness of your nature explores all of Life, with many foci. Emulation of this is the thrust for human consciousness. Be at peace with what works, what thrives. Embracing a new discovery does not mean rejection of what has been. It’s all Life. Be whole in the moment and grow from there. Namaste.

Living in the freedom of Now

JANU:   Renewal, then. Let’s look at this from the perspective of shaking off old patterns, creating new ones, expanding into patterns of the Larger Life consciously. The human identity syndrome, if you will, mostly lives in the past of old patterns. New ones are tied to the old ones, the result of the veil and limited identity. Identity is a limitation to begin with, for that means you are one thing and not another. In the Larger Life, which is your Nature, beingness is unlimited but evolves, expands. So, if you must use the word identity, or the concept, have one that is ever-changing, expanding and becoming. That is part of the flow of life.

Living in the so-called Now is unlimited being. Living in the present is truly the source of past and future, not defined by what has been or what will be. But living in the present is freedom to choose your experience, what your consciousness is connected to. The reality of The NOW is a tradition, if you will, a reality woven in time/space, past/future. It is the source of these but supports these journeys. Choose freedom to be. Namaste.

Happiness and co-creation

JANU:    Happiness. What does it mean? What is its source? What is its endurance? What is its origin? How does it communicate? Happiness is not only contentment with what is achieved, but confidence in what can be achieved. Continued happiness, without change, breeds complacency and boredom. So even happiness, you see, has evolutionary change. So choosing to be happy is a co-creative reality, as is complacency and boredom, dismay, discouragement, endless repetition.

So if choosing to be happy is a reality and has existence, what is its nature? Is it more than the human condition? Is it founded in the structure of life? Or is it only a creation of desire and consciousness? What does it serve? And why does it seem temporary and only circumstantially available? It is a function of co-creative choice and the freedom to be. Any relationship with life, under any condition of consciousness, any state of being, and it is by choice.

So, when surveying your existence, your experiences, your circumstance, you choose happiness or wait for it. Enlightenment can be seen the same way. It is a co-creative choice, with its own reward. Mis-emotions fall into this category, you see. Freedom is powerful in the sense of the exercise of co-creation. Co-creation without disadvantaging others or manipulation or interference, but being part of the circumstance of their happiness, their freedom, brings a joy and a contentment. Namaste.

This is an expansion of  the concept of happiness  presented earlier in  Happiness: allowed not created, and Awakening: Happiness, among others.

Ethics and integrity

JANU:    How, then, does one precipitate manifestation of ethical behavior, which is subject to interpretation? By combining essential elements of life that perpetuate or continue its evolution. Consideration of the structures of natural life. Realizing that nothing is fixed, but in motion, means being conscious in the moment and attuned to the flow of life. One tends to think of terms such as ethics and integrity, truthfulness, as fixed realities, true to their nature, or a perception of their nature. Once again, intuition—an inner sense of these things—with motivations that are clear and understood guides the way.

Honoring relationship with the Larger Life supports a knowingness to proceed with any endeavor. Develop sensitivity to be conscious of the source of intuition by the manifestation of its life patterns. Intuition, application and experience, direct observation, short and long term outcomes, life unfolding around and through you. Life is more fluid than any preordination. Doing your best, whatever form that takes, Life benefits from it. Namaste.

Reality

JANU:     Exploring is the theme for today, though the subject is reality. When everything that is only exists within the parameters of its existence, are the parameters real? What does reality mean? How can it be described or defined? Can words accomplish this? Are words real? Not in every reality. Even in physical life, their meaning can be ambiguous, and only have meaning that’s ascribed to them. So, what is real and what is not? Is a thought real, and in what sense? Thoughts come and go, and change on a dime, so to speak. Is life for real? And what does that mean? If life records itself, and nothing is lost, then what is retrieved or saved?

Reality exists in the moment and expresses from moment to moment, but even that moment passes into memory and life’s own recording, called ‘life patterns.’ So, how does one become conscious in the moment, so that past and future exist as one? Let us take the chime of a bell. In time it sustains its tone, briefly, but its pattern is recorded in its substance, in that which vibrates with it. But whether rung or not, is it still a bell? Whether an individual is conscious or not, what is still real?  Does ‘eternity’ have any meaning, any reality of the moment in the so-called Now?

Taking all of this into consideration, where is the merit, the nature, the essence? Even the question suggests presence, position, location, time. Parameters of the limited existence, the limitation of words. Is ‘pure being’ part of this or does it somehow find itself a part of unlimited reality? What then is without limit, parameters of existence, boundaries, unique description? What then has value, meaning, and purpose?

The Truth of Life, the so-called Light. What is true and what is not? Or does reality include them both? Deciding to know is the challenge and opportunity for revelation. Namaste.

Eyes of peace

JANU: Peace, then, are the eyes to have, observing humanity and its society. You see and perceive what your focus is, so choose wisely what dominates your perception when observing human incarnate reality. It is, of course, a mixture of the spectrum of life, but the spectrum is evolving and enlightened focused perception is attuned to these elements of evolution. What your attention is on you give life to. An attribute of co-creating. So choose to be aware of the elements of evolution in humanity and give them life, for they will raise up the mixture and the mixture evolves. The beauty of life becomes more clear and one becomes filled with hope and confidence in the potential of humanity and life is enriched, all of life. Peace is a powerful reality. Use it often as humanity renews itself. Namaste.

Awakening is a process

JANU:    Gradual support for the awakening of humanity is being in the flow. It allows all life its journey of process. Process enriches the journey, the awakening. Awakening begins in an instant but continues as a process so that potential is fulfilled and all of life has the opportunity to be touched. Such is the nature of a symphony.

So put your attention and commitment to the process of awakening. See its beauty, its changes, the amazing diversity of process. It is not just humanity’s awakening. In time, conscious awareness of the other realities of life beyond humanity and the Earth will become part of the mix, if you will. Many lessons to be learned, perspectives. Life is growing, expanding, deepening. Namaste.

Wisdom vs. ignorance—awakening vs. the veil

JANU:     Reconsider, then, the merits of the awakening of humanity or an individual. How well understood is the veil experience, in its potential? Gaining the wisdom through application and experience is not quite the same as direct access. However, one might consider that wisdom gained in other sojourns is still wisdom gained through application and experience. Recording a resource of these gains is part of awakening. And what does this say about sharing wisdom? It speaks to the collective reality of a species, whether incarnate or not. So, some may say “Let the chips fall where they may.” Direct access, to a degree, may be part of the journey, the Tapestry of Life.

How does one explore and maximize potential? Are all opportunities orderly, with tight protocols? Apparently not. Gaining access is one consideration. When gained, making use of these is another, and, at times, simultaneous. When one awakens in the morning, so to speak, from an evening’s slumber, life from that point is still choices and interpretation. So, does awakening have potential for self-destruction? Not to the True Nature, it doesn’t. But it can alter greatly the incarnate life.

Wisdom has merit. Does ignorance? One has a possibility of evolution, but does the other? Namaste.

Exploring beauty

JANU:   Beauty is evolving in the human experience ever since the beginning or its existence, and yes, human experience goes beyond the Earth. Beauty is part of potential. It is part of the mixture of creativity. It evolves as part of all evolution. Beauty has a theme, a tempo, a pulse of life. It rises to the surface of experience and creativity, inspired by the True Nature.

Beauty is exuberant and peaceful, inspirational and never lost. It is part of the fabric of Life, its tapestry, and can find expression always. Loving your own existence and using it to enrich the life of another. Empathy with the creatures of the world, all of them. Non-physical life has its beauty as well, and they are connected to the physical expression.

Be not limited by awareness of physical beauty. Consciousness extends far beyond this. Allow the awareness to embrace more of life and know of its beauty. Life allows, through love, all expressions of being. Explore the beauty of life, a journey without end. Namaste.

Living in beauty

JANU: Yes, a worthy attribute of consciousness: finding the beauty, the potential, and expression of each one’s life. In your experience, the magic of music, the symphony, the orchestra, the musicians, and the music, the impact on the listeners, the shared joy of many, and the residual in the life patterns of each. These experiences unite, inspire, encourage, bring hope, and promote self-determination to participate in some way. For some, it is art. Anything of the harmonious creative nature, with unique expression, that enriches life. For some, it is romance. For others, it is philosophy, for others, the healing arts, and for others, inspired spiritual understanding.

Exploring the human drama brings reason and understanding and even empathy, for no matter how unusual, there is connection and memory for there are stored life patterns and shared life patterns and much memory. These are external joyous relationships that can be found within through awakening to the True Nature. The life patterns and memories there transcend time and circumstance and are not limited to the Earth experience.

What is beauty, then? A worthy question. It is harmony, enrichment, purity, symmetry, and uniqueness. It is relationships throughout life with meaning and depth, that shine light, the Truth of Life, on everything, many times unnoticed in the brash cacophony of discordant confusion. Why not take a moment each day to discover beauty, to experience it, and even participate? Decide to be, living in beauty. Namaste.
