New Journeys

What is discarnate life like?

JANU:   We are remembering when the discarnate life was the dominant consciousness, focus. Freedom to travel, so to speak, in simultaneous directions, so to speak. We had an entourage of like-minded, who began each journey with collective consciousness of experience and wisdom, to be opened to a more complete consciousness of the reality explored. Time and distance not realities to impede the duration of these journeys reaching into the duration of interest.

Personal identity was unlike the incarnate life. Not easy to describe in incarnate terms. Identity was based upon collective experience, understanding, perceptions. Identity with and is the depth and nature of life patterns matched and created. Vitality varied with involvement. Contributions to life were through connections. They still are. Shared consciousness, understanding, and life patterns formed relationships and still do. The veil has focused, and limited in some ways, involvements on a conscious level, but only temporarily, for the duration of the journey.

The sense of time and distance has limited patience and the drive to accomplish quickly. Productivity becomes imperative.  Timelessness  is seen as laziness but can be more productive, so to speak, in expansion of engagement and understanding. Sense of purpose has more depth and scope, but all of this is acceptable and in harmony with the Nature of Life. Namaste.

Enrichment

JANU: Numerous events in time and space beckon the call of the survivors of life. Mutual enrichment is the theme. Be enriched by enriching life, not just entities as yourself but beings of consciousness no matter the degree or nature. The purpose of enrichment, as you ask, is the continuation of existence on all levels of reality, the potential for life, which is beyond understanding at this time for most.

Now, enrichment covers a lot of diversity, meaning, and purpose. Allow your consciousness, your senses, your perceptions to touch and experience and understand, little by little, reality beyond reality—the vastness, the nature, the content, including time/space and beyond. Allow sensitivity to flower, your own Nature included. It’s there. It has its own existence. And all existence, whether physical or not, coexists.

Become conscious as  universal life to a growing degree, becoming one with the nature of reality. Perspective and purpose, meaning, understanding, contribution, benefit is all one. Being conscious as a physical being is only part of it. Being conscious as more and more of Life, and its True Nature, is another. The limits of physical life are not the limits of your True Nature.

What is timelessness? Sense its reality as you once journeyed through a singularity. Explore coexistence as life in motion. That is part of your Nature. Be One—an  expanding, exploring Being. Namaste.

Recovery

JANU: Recovery begins our journey. Life recovers its momentum with each surge of change. Individual life journeys can be seen the same way, recovering momentum from change. One might see change as recovering newness, freshness, beginnings, inspiration, and insight into outcome and possibilities. Change is an exciting time. One is recovered as more of Life.

Staleness is replaced with new purpose, deepening enlightenment, with echoes of the past succumbing to movement of the future. What changes is The NOW . The Now is alive with potential, the vehicle of Life is the chariot. The directions that are possible are without limit, shaped by the echoes of the past, refined by the potential in the Now manifesting in the future.

Allow recovery by letting identity expand, change, evolve. Evolution and refinement are partners in the Dance of Life. Old acquaintances begin anew. New acquaintances evolve with a history. Discovering each other is the journey of miracles. Discover how rich life can be. Allow the time and patience to enjoy the flavors. Live confident that Life continues and its nature is indestructible, due to recovery. Allow your life as an individual to recover. Others can do the same thing. Namaste.

The role of identity

JANU:   Identity, the exploration of, is an attachment to variations on a reality. Personal identity can expand beyond the manifestation of a singularity, life beyond that limitation. Identity reaches into the depths of the mystery of Life when it encounters borders, one thing versus another in description and purpose. The nature of which succumbs to limitation under the perception of diversity, differences, isolated existence for the purpose of exploring the depth of life patterns.

Let us reach then into the so-called mysteries of Life, understanding their nature, their coexistence, that which builds opportunities and challenges of discovery and realization. The fluid nature of reality allows for constant flow, change, combining, reconstruction, dissolution, and enrichment. Owning in consciousness in this manner reinvigorates openness to discovery, the possibility of complexities and interactions, starting over, re-examination, stirring the pot of Life, so to speak. Timelessness  when realized is reality where realizing its reality allows for deeper exploration of possibilities and existence. Re-incorporation of past journeys into new relationships and new adventures invigorates life as never before on any path of discovery.

We reach into these things to understand, to gain wisdom, to refine meanings. Why not, then, incorporate these into a scheme of life of constant evolution, depth, and new purpose? In other words, explore Life as far as it will take you into timelessness. Namaste.

The question of identity and identity shifting is a recurrent one. Two other journeys most related to this one are Mastering the Many Faces of Identity (LINK) and The What and Why of Identity. A compilation of journeys on this topic is Identity within Awakening

Penitence 

JANU:  We are looking for a fuller and larger understanding of life. Penitence is the word we begin with, due penitence. Embracing life and its potential includes its own reality. What does it mean then to give due to all you have been and are? To acknowledge it, to own it, to love it, to give it to enrich life. The magic of expansion, of ongoingness is to embrace, to engage, to desire that life fulfills itself and we are part of that.

How does one fulfill the potential of everything, whether manifest or not? Being conscious of Life is part of being conscious as Life. Identity separate from universality. Let us focus that revelation and generate life patterns. But there is more. Allow your identity to evolve, which means conscious connection as a Larger Life. This is foreign and frightening to those who are solidly identified as only a part of Life.

One senses unfinished business. The more conscious you are, the more complete the business and its nature. The Larger Life is not just other individuals but other realities and being conscious as them. Engaging, contributing, becoming, fulfilling. Identity shifting does not mean just becoming something else, but adding another part of reality to your being and being that reality. Letting go of limitation does not mean letting go of your Nature but embracing it, becoming conscious of and as more of what you already are.

Some already exhibit remarkable ability as amazing parts of Life. Discover your own and refine them. Love them into your life. Let them become enriching factors to serve how they may. Namaste.

Living in the moment

JANU:   Many steps to wisdom, to enlightenment, to understanding. Participation in the evolution of life. Creativity. Service. Living. The intellect seeks out complexity, details, technology. The heart listens for feelings, emotions, a different kind of knowing. The True Nature allows with an intimacy into the nature of being. Coexistence. Past, present, and future and their interactions. Their mutual benefits are in understanding based on simplicity and infinite diversity.

Embracing the moment is a process of unfoldment, allows for peaceful experience. Embrace life as a continuing unfoldment of being. Living in the moment has profound depth. Many live in the past and future and miss many revelations of being. How many are conscious of the fullness of any moment ? Being of timeless consciousness is limitless and in harmony with Life in motion. Namaste.

The purpose of life

JANU:   The purpose of life is to be, to evolve, to realize potential, self-examination to reveal what some would call efficiency and waste. What is waste? The appearances of life expressions have superficial and deeper layers to be understood, engaged, and become what is. Observing that life that your being is one of includes associative reality.

Human consciousness is identified with its current perception. Expanding that reality includes a freedom to have a larger identity, not defined by only part of life. Realizing a larger reality of being includes awakening to the larger reality without the fear of any loss. Reaching a higher rung on the ladder of life does not mean the loss of the last rung of understanding. Life builds and builds and builds as the role of identity evolves. Survival is a function of concern for a limited identity. Allow your consciousness to expand and your sense of identity expands with it. Fears fall away, realizing that, through experience, an evolving identity transcends limitation.

Life is larger than a limited identity. Become that life. It is your destiny. Identify with continuation, evolution, expansion. Experience from this on the move.  Namaste.

 Like many, I have struggled with this topic over the years, receiving similar but progressive insights. Try The Purpose of Life (2018), Life Purpose (2016),  Meaning and Purpose in Life (2015) or Meaning and Purpose of Life (2014) in whatever order pleases you.

More on “What is Life?”

JANU:   The course of evolution in any culture, whether the Earth or somewhere else, includes survival and, at times not as you might think. Life is larger in meaning, potential, purpose, and begs the question: What is Life? The expressions of it vary greatly. Its purpose is to be. Life patterns compound exponentially, moment to moment, and even beyond definite perception of time. Each plane of existence has its own consciousness, its instincts for survival, its curiosities to evolve, to connect, to communicate. One unaware of the other to varying degrees. The perception of sacrifice for the survival of another speaks to essential life.

The existence of life extends beyond any one reality. For one reality to embrace another there must be re-formation for pattern matching. Common ground for communication forms in this way, and others.

How does one pattern match another? Through insights, inspirations, or in subtler realities that exist and blossom through the evolving evolution of the species from deep within.

“And what inspires?” you ask. A love of life, which includes gratitude and the desire to awaken to something greater. Life has an affinity to awaken, to embrace itself through expression, much as the physical body takes a breath to continue.

It is revealing to explore what is natural for any existence to continue. The presence of natural conditions is a foundation for the beginning of that reality. There are other natural realities that are foundation for other life expressions. Life is aware of all of these realities even though the realities, in their natural state, are still awakening to the roots of their being, where all exists and potential is blossoming.

So beginning and ending exists in a reality of ongoingness. As pattern matching evolves, so does evolution. Find peace in this, confidence. Think and live as Life continues. Namaste.

What is Life?

JANU:    Pondering the imponderable: What is Life? What is not Life? What is real? What is unreal? What is true? What is false? What is and what isn’t? Nurturing these imponderables in one’s quest for understanding inspires one to examine their foundation of understanding of everything and their commitments of exploration and purpose. Do frustrations arise from these? Is there progress to be gained? Does this cause one to question assumptions, mutual assumptions of society? Does understanding of these have the potential to resolve cycles of dysfunction and limitation?

Each one of these investigations has cause for concern, for the solutions to these inquiries, challenges, understandings of time, potential, aggression, space, materiality, beginnings and endings…cycles. One benefit is open-mindedness, open to revelation, the application and experience on the journey of wisdom and contribution to the evolution of life. These solutions come not all at once, but here and there, now and then, giving time for the development of understanding, the process of understanding into life expression.

Continuing to inquire is healthy. The patience to perceive and accumulate consciousness is life in motion. Examine revelations as they inspire further inquiry and attract opportunities to explore. It is healthy and progressive to search and discover. Life is vast and ever changing and evolving. Find peace and joy that the journey exists. And that is Life.

A relationship through perception reveals much. Decisions to be made in perspective. Employ choice and the resulting experiences on those choices. It goes on and on, you see. And that is evolution. The realization of potential, Life in motion. So, be in motion. Discover. Contribute. Become. Namaste.

Life exploring and evolving itself

JANU: “Manifesting Light” is an appropriate focus for individual and group work. Building an understanding of this concept of manifesting the Truth of Life: discovering it, understanding it, being it. And in such a way that another can achieve this in their own way and find inspiration in your journey as well. Manifesting Light has the diversity to be a product of everyone’s existence, for it is as diverse as the potential for Life itself. And the beauty of this endeavor is every aspect of it is connected, mutually supported, and evolutionary.

“Life” a word used by many with limited understanding, unconscious of true meaning of depth and breadth and potential. Good question: What is the history of Life? What has it accomplished? What can it be?

Exploration is an important aspect of evolution.  The desire to know, discover, and become is magical. Life exploring life is a reality, an understanding that opens doors unimagined yet.  Both an individual and collective pursuit.

Every journey begins with initiative and a first step. So, allow your desire to begin and Life will guide you. Namaste.
