JANU:   Rich, then, is the content of this day’s meeting. Symmetry of thought or perceptions suggests sameness, without controversy, challenge, or awakening to new ideas, new perceptions. Sameness does not produce breakthroughs. Exploration does not satisfy wonder if new frontiers aren’t being probed. Revelation feeds wonder to continue to explore.

Each one’s journey in this direction is to be honored and respected. Sameness is not what life is about. It is about diversity, co-creation, enrichment, the power of diversity and change. Yesterday’s evolvement is not a duplicate of today’s or there has been no change and life is stagnant. And, if it is stagnant, it cannot exist.

So, in your group meetings, explore many directions, open to new understandings or greater depth of current ones. Value and honor each other’s differences, uniqueness. Be true to your own Nature and respect each other’s. Namaste.

Moving beyond scientific exploration to experiential

Miscellaneous Journeys

JANU: Diagnosis, into the how and why of everything sounds scientific in approach, but there is so much more. The term ‘science’ can be expanded to include so much more. Learning about a thing is not as fulfilling as learning as the thing of interest. So let us reconsider our approach to exploration. No longer just observer, but experiencer. This speaks of the nature and essence of every part of life, including your own being.

So, how does one experience life, beyond the comparatively cold approach of conventional science? How a part of life works is one thing. Experiencing a part of life as it is working is another. So, choose to experience what interests you, but with the authority and wisdom of the True Nature, which takes patience and peaceful allowing.

Responding to experiences, rather than reacting to them, allows revelation or understanding. Wholeness that contains the elements of reality reveals, through experience and direct knowing, the systems of life, large or small, brief or long lasting, stable or changing. Everything is in motion, but not always perceivable. Namaste.

Did God create humans?

JANU:  Inertia is a dominant force in the quest for understanding. Not being conscious of something does not mean one cannot be. Overcoming inertia opens the consciousness to revelation. As we have said, all is known for life is conscious and more. And each one is part of that life.

Now, each level of consciousness has its parameters of existence and its need for understanding varies with each. But life is evolving, and so are its elements. Change is life in motion and consciousness is in motion. So, to answer the question “Did God create human beings?” The answer is: not the God that humans hold dear and imagine that they know of and understand.* But human beings were created and are still being created, as are other forms of physical life. The evidence of this creation is evident. So the focus here is source of original creation. It begins with energetic patterns, ever the result of co-creative forces that respond to thought.

Even the universe has its original source and comes into being with potential. These patterns of potential manifest according to their nature. So, you see, source is not a sentient being, as humans tend to perceive. But the source manifested this universe and many others. And potentials have imperative to create.

Another process of this includes countless parameters of existence, manifestation, mutual influence, and modifications. The product of coexistence and self-engineering, if you will, based upon experience and inherent wisdom gained. Almost seen as a creative experimentation to realize potential, the outcomes of which humanity is only a part. There are many other wonders of this creative ability and potential.

Exploring and understanding original source of any creation is an experience in consciousness enhanced by awakening to one’s own True Nature. Without this, the portion of consciousness that is incarnate is limited but expandable. Conscious reunion with one’s own Nature is part of the path for the journey of these larger understandings. Be at peace about this and life reveals itself to the inquiry. Namaste.

Can life be defined?

Comments Off on Can life be defined? 

Miscellaneous Journeys

, ,

JANU:   The scope of consciousness is limited only by the scope of perception or identity. Does life itself have limits? Yes and no. Limits within its expressions, but not its potential. For how does one define life, in its fullest reality? Certainly not by dimensions, for there is life beyond these. Even ‘freedom to be’ suggests choices and identities, but life is beyond identity. What does ‘me’ mean?

There are reasons for limitations, no matter the reality, and for perceptions of identity, but there is life larger than these. Being ‘conscious of’ and being ‘conscious as’ is a spectrum of life, but not being limited by either of these does not negate their usefulness and their reality.

How does one ponder an expression of life and not be contained by it? What is life? Namaste.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

, , , , ,

JANU:    Forecasting gloom and doom has become a growing concern among those without larger vision for human potential and its future. Rightly so are the needs of those to contribute to society the reality of the generosity of life, its forgiveness, patience, love, wisdom, and tradition, evolution and enrichment beyond time. What we spoke of earlier, in terms of peace and forgiveness, helps to cement, if you will, the gifts of life into the experience of those who live it. Each one travels along on the heels of another when without vision and the conscious wisdom and insight of their own True Nature.

Humanity is not alone in this quest, this scenario of evolution and discovery. For human consciousness has a heritage of many beings not incarnate, many with a history of connection with incarnate life on the Earth. It is difficult to understand how the seeming chaos of society, unenlightened as it is, clears the way for enlightenment and the richness life has to offer. But it does, by way of experiencing the results of the chaos and learning from these. Humanity will still have challenges and struggles, but with different face, you see.

When one tastes honey for the first time, the memory of the experience is strong and natural desire for more is compelling. So it is with the experience of bliss, true peace. This is why moments of joy are shared. The journey of kindness is one of many that enrich others. Continue with these and namaste.

Incentives to embrace the Larger Life

Comments Off on Incentives to embrace the Larger Life

Miscellaneous Journeys

,

JANU: The bulwark of momentum to embrace the Larger Life consists of fatigue with the old ways of understanding in the presence of failing systems of social structure. Strong incentives are moments of insight, relief, and small gestures of change that uplift.

Even traditional holidays and their symbols and ceremonies are more and more superficial, and the depths of meaning become more and more subtle. So holidays are an opportunity to reexamine these things and explore alternatives. The discernment for such lies once more on the true inner reality of being, rather than the symbols of life and artificial representations of meaning.

Remember the times when joyous celebration was intrinsic to the struggles to survive, the values of family, both personal and community. Humanity can come together once more, but in a much larger way, as they identify with the Larger Life. Namaste.

A Christmas message

Comments Off on A Christmas message

Miscellaneous Journeys

,

JANU: Christmas, then, speaks of celebration of life, not just the one it is named for but for everyone. For each one in their own right is the true spark of life, the Light in the darkness, the creators of the future. The tradition older than the holiday, you see. “What is the larger purpose of the holiday?” you may ask. It is the coming together to reaffirm cherished ideals, qualities of the True Nature, and not just for the people but for all of life, all the creatures, all of the life expressions.

The message of the Christed one was not to separate himself, in the minds of the people, from their lowly estate but to awaken them to the Christ in them, which is their heritage and reality. Worship, if you will, the Christ in each other united in the Light of truth. Not just on one day, but always. Namaste.

Together we are strong

, , , ,

JANU:   Brothers and sisters all, viewing humanity beyond the physical unites them all in the adventure of life. The gender specific natures exist in harmony as one, when viewed in this way. Perceiving past the apparent differences of incarnate life, one can see and connect with all as companions in life. Yes, different ranges of experience, accumulated wisdom, and strong tendencies of ability in many directions. But the True Natures are connected and fulfilling their potential by way of their destinies. Uniting everyone in your perceptions reveals this. See beyond limited differences, perceive True Nature, and understand and experience how much larger life is than most perceive.

Celebrate life in this way, during this season and always. A life no longer petty with misconceptions, misperceptions, and isolated interests. We are all unique, and we are all one, and together we are strong. Namaste.

JANU: Charged is the vitality that brings essence to the surface for expression. What is this magical charge, then, that brings light to the human consciousness, to its understanding?

It is a deep love of life. An occasional rejuvenated sense of its presence and your oneness with it. A sense of home, always returning to its peace, to its naturalness, to its illumination, its wisdom and its love. At last, a way of life, a way of living that can be trusted and lived without fear. Always nurturing and revealing the true nature of existence. Never withheld, always available. Rich beyond imagination. A common ground with others.

Celebrate life as you may. Let your example inspire another. Let them know they are worthy of freedom from ignorance and that their life is larger than what they are aware of. Namaste.

The symphony of life

Comments Off on The symphony of life

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , , ,

JANU:   Progression along the line of consciousness enhancement belongs to the domain of the synchronicity of consciousness with the larger realities of life. These emerge like a symphony: many instruments, unique in sound and nature, coexisting and creating to the larger consciousness a symphony of collaboration, coordination, harmony. The Larger Life can be approached with this understanding, as a living symbol, if you will, of infinite relationships.

The flow of life is a symphony of all of the elements of existence, in all realities. Each person, each being, is a symphony in this way. Consciousness raising moves in this direction of the appreciation of the wholeness of being, of the True Nature. Let there be, then, on this journey of awakening, an appreciation that is deepening of the symphony of life, what it represents, and your own Nature. This includes everything and everyone.

For some, experiencing music touches on this reality and is in harmony with it; thus, the upliftment, the peace, the nourishment, if you will, of inner harmony. Others approach this differently. But the desire and the results are similar. Namaste.
