JANU: What is service, then, but life itself loving itself, taking care of itself, rejuvenating itself, and knowing itself? Service is not something separate from that that is served. They are born of each other. They evolve with each other. They are designed by each other. What point would there be for one to exist and not the other? Service quality is understood in every venue of life, regardless of its reality. Service is being served. It is life continuing the countless patterns of its existence.

There are those who participate in the time-honored tradition of service, requiring no recognition at all. In fact, they prefer it that way, for they participate in something that is a fundamental theme of existence and is everywhere. Recognition speaks only to the individual, when recognition and gratitude can acknowledge all of life. Gratitude and recognition given is an honorable and healthy way of living, but never required, you see.

Serving then this evening with distinction are those among us whose path of destiny is the fullness of service. And their world of service is magnificent indeed, with breadth and richness and a oneness with the life they serve, that some might consider enviable. Consider service as a complete way of life for, as vast and diverse as life is, the nature of their service makes them one with all of life and their wisdom, their knowledge and consciousness represents this.

These beings cannot be put into any category of type or characteristic or personality. They are not separate from life, yet they have integrity and purpose and ability and, above all of this, a love for life that gives life meaning itself. We would have you know this: that service is a tradition of fundamental nature of life and living that is beyond words. Can only be hinted at, and lived.

The tradition of service connects all of life and is born of a love for life. We honor, through service, this tradition and commit our service to this tradition. Namaste.

Service

discovery, flow of life, Service

JANU: Service itself is a grand perspective on life. It demonstrates its true nature and its potential. Service unites life and facilitates its supporting itself in all of its nuance of existence. True service is recognized for what it is by all of life. It does not need to convince that it serves of its purpose. And true service emulates the core nature that gives life to all aspects of creation.

What we serve this afternoon is the understanding of service throughout humanity and inspire the other kingdoms of nature in this way of relating to life and of honoring your being. Even explorers and pioneers in the fields of life of human endeavors serve life by bringing awareness of its depth and reality to the fore. The true explorer has a consciousness that is open to unknown possibilities and therefore new understandings and sensitivity to that that is discovered.

These qualities can be lived in discovering your neighbor and discovering a stranger and discovering who you are. Even service of long standing in one element of life has discovery of limitless possibilities. Each embrace of life through service leads to greater revelation, not only of that served but of your nature and your growing capacity to connect with life.

True service is true love in action, even as the source of life serves you, for true service does not require payment or recognition or adulation or worship, and neither does the source of your life. True service demonstrates the flow of life and no deficiency is left in the one who serves, when that service is in harmony with the flow of life. One no longer needs to appraise whether that given to another has been restored, for that given to another does not originate in the giver. What originates in the giver is the willingness to give.

We would instill these qualities in humanity, nestled in the qualities of the true heart, free of prejudice and compromising agenda. This one perspective alone opens the door of opportunity to the rest of life. And now, allow your heart to communicate this truth to the hearts of humanity.

Let us continue in this way of exploration through service. Until next time, good afternoon and namaste.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

JANU: Your True Nature is the authority for being and is who you are, human perceptions notwithstanding. The expanding individual identity into the larger reality of your being is a return to freedom. The True Nature creates the veil to incarnate a portion of its identity, of its nature. A thing created can be uncreated or modified. The creation always returns to its creator.

Individual human identity expands in the direction of universal consciousness. Peaceful harmony with the creative forces and the Family of Life rests with the intuitive nature of your true being. Struggle is replaced with unlimited and natural achievement, unending discovery. The service element of this grows as well, a natural part of your True Nature and the Larger Life. We are on this journey as one, meaning all that we are. Namaste.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

JANU: What is freedom? To what degree is this understood? What is peace and its true power? What is choice? What is wisdom? What is sanity? What is life? What is love? What is consciousness? What is sovereignty? The answers to these questions, and more questions which are beyond number, are present and coexist in the Larger Life. The human existence and consciousness are a portion of this.

The veil brings the sense and experience of individuality, disconnectedness, isolation, aloneness, leaving the rest of life a vague and faint memory of wonderings. There is nothing wrong with this but it has its limitations. The answers to a growing number of questions about life and existence are not contained in the veil experience, but they coexist with the incarnate life, seemingly out of reach. Questions without answers is an illusion, for inherent in every question is the answer, is the solution, or, should we say, many answers and solutions.

What does it take to begin the journey of awakening consciously to this larger reality of life? It takes desire, patience, commitment, focus, and confidence that all can be known. Your heritage as a being is the rest of life. What is unlimited mind? What are limitations? Do you recognize them and understand them and own them? Or do they own you, temporarily? The larger your consciousness, the freer you become to explore, to create, to redirect, to experience, to gain wisdom, to choose.

Your power to master all of this, and more, is through accepting responsibility for all of your circumstance and experience, blaming nothing else, which opens the window or the doorway to understanding responsibility. To owning it, and through the ownership, the power to move on to shape and create your life, to enrich it, and to magnify everything. Sharing your life with others is an art and beautiful experience. Not just for you but for them as well. Mastering this is a growth experience for everyone. And through this, the reality of oneness reveals itself.

Be patient with yourself and with others. Respect the choices. Understand the results and create anew. Namaste.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

JANU: Choices deserve understanding as to their nature and their influence on the circumstances of living. Freedom to choose can be limited by what is accepted in the circumstances of living. What is a choice, then, that is not completely liberated from convention, tradition, distraction, and preferences born of social consciousness? Being free to choose with greater wisdom is a worthy pursuit. Looking at, then, the source of any choice, is it controlled by social convention and traditions, the personality-ego, or something more, something greater?

The journey of awakening to the True Nature results in freedom beyond limitation. From this, your source of wisdom for making choices is the reality of who you are beyond these things. In the larger reality of your being is the wisdom gained from countless experiences. Climbing the rungs of the ladder into conscious union with your True Nature finds many rungs, each with their own focus and progression leading to the next. How does one recognize the next rung on their ladder, when it has little resemblance to the rung that you’re on? The insight into this already exists in the larger You. The desire to know and be more than your current reality is a good beginning. The larger You welcomes this. This reality is possible even while incarnate in the human experience.

Listen to your innermost desires. They live in the heart of your being as well. Be true to your destiny and all that it can be. The Larger Life is real, more real than you might be aware of. It is magnificent in every way and brings such peace and joy to the life. Why would you want anything less? Fear not discovery, new understandings, the liberation of perception, and the embrace of new life. You need only desire it, leaving doubt behind and the ignorance of others. Namaste.

Service

love, Service

JANU: Kindness is the theme of service at this time. Not just to each other; to the Earth as well, and its creatures. It is fitting and proper to invoke an atmosphere of kindness around the Earth, embracing all life, sharing each other’s talents, understanding, and love. An intimate experience in the presence of kindness.

The creative forces of life agree. The Brotherhoods of Light agree. The Angelic Host agrees. Namaste.

Comments Off on Symbols and meaning

Human Potential & the Larger Life

JANU: The reality of symbolic representation as to the nature of life is little understood, for symbolism–including words, which are symbols of meaning—is an alternative to direct knowing, direct experience. They bring comfort to those who seek meaning and understanding in their lives.

Symbols represent desire to be connected, to be conversant while experiencing the veil that acts as a boundary to the consciousness of incarnate identity. Temporary icons of elusive meaning, subject to interpretation individually and collectively, which is as varied as there are individuals. ‘Deity’ is such, providing comfort and hope to be led into understanding, to fulfill the desire for a better life in every way.

This inner calling, if you will, to reach for something greater is a result of the veil of forgetfulness. The choice awaits the consciousness from the divine True Nature. But these times are changing. The veil is lifting, here and there. The consciousness is maturing and the veil is thinning. Many are reclaiming their power by accepting responsibility for their circumstance. The insights are coming. The understanding is emerging. The joy of discovery and realization of potential illumines the journey.

No longer the sense of aloneness, that prevents remembering and embracing the Family of Life. This takes courage, honesty, faith, and commitment to grow, to awaken, to return to the Larger Life, of which incarnate life is a part. Be patient with each other, encourage where you may, have compassion with yourself and others. Your True Nature is you. Namaste.

Comments Off on Sharing unlimited exploration

Human Potential & the Larger Life

coexistence, human potential, Individuality, larger life, responsibility, the veil

JANU: Life is real. Every reality of it, all coexisting, all interacting, all present, and all now. Separation consciousness under the veil of individuality, individual identity, sees boundaries and layers, this or that, has difficulty embracing the perception of this and that and that and that, without limit.

Peacefulness is when one is in harmony with the natural coexistence of life, the flow of its relationships, the larger synergism of everything. Time and space no longer the definition of its ‘isness.’ The concept of secrets is a limitation, a product of individualization, the veil interpreted as isolation and secrecy, privacy. It has its purpose as an experiment of consciousness to focus exploration within a portion of life, reducing distractions, but need not remain. Awakening is the path of restoration of consciousness, awareness, reclaiming the larger identity of being in the Family of Life.

Respecting each other’s illusions in their perceptions of life is important. But when one begins to reach for a larger sense of being, a return to all that they are, help each other on this path. Learn from each other. Claim all of your powers and the responsibility that goes with them. Privacy no longer needed, for you are within your integrity of being.

Share your peace with others, encouraging them to find their own. Be encouraged by others who are sharing theirs. Be the larger family that includes each other. Everyone experiences so-called reversals on their path of awakening. This is natural and provides opportunities to gain clarity and wisdom. Time is not a measurement of this. Be free to explore, unlimited by limited perceptions. Life is diverse but there is order. Honor the integrity of life, including your own. Namaste.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

JANU: Awakening is progressing life, which amounts to serving all of life. It matters not to what degree, or what form, or its timing. Life naturally sorts this into its tapestry. Understanding awakening is a larger issue than humanity’s journey. All of life is awakening in the sense of realizing its potential. Even potential evolves. The looping reality of life supports this. Such is true for an individual as well. The flow of insights, of possibilities to explore, to ponder, to apply, to experience is part of the evolving consciousness and an evolving True Nature and beyond.

Awakening is becoming more conscious of more of life, for all of life coexists. You ask, “What is Life?” Life is the vitality of being, the motivation to continue. But understanding and being conscious of life is a journey in harmony with all of the realities of one’s existence. Even the subtler worlds are not as isolated from each other as one might think. That is perception of limited consciousness, so-called individuality, the less conscious individual focused on the human experience.

As one becomes more conscious, one can sense the ocean of life, the heart, the mind, the consciousness of another, and their thoughts as well. One becomes aware of the origin of one’s own perceptions. Co-creation, intimacy, with the flow of life, all things are possible. Namaste.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

allowing, coexistence, discovery, diversity, human potential, Individuality, larger life, listening, opportunity

JANU: Opportunity is the best descriptor of what we can achieve. Serving opportunities is part of the path of awakening. Practical application. “Application of what?” you ask. The application of wisdom born of insight into the nature of that that is, that is becoming. Humanity is included in this, for each one is in the process of becoming. Helping each other and inspiring each other to explore potential, to create and realize. What can you share with others other than that that you are and are exploring? Not to lead them so much as to inspire.

There is more to discovery than information and understanding. There is intimacy, compassion, love, patience, giving, and receiving. The art of listening is not just to hear but to connect, to experience the concerns and the potential of another. Relating to another does not mean agreeing with their current patterns, but allowing the flow of understanding from your own True Nature and, through that, theirs as well. No judgement here, or condemnation. No criticism. No opinion of shortcomings. No impatience with the steps taken on their path, including your own.

Time is not what is important here, but the realization of potential and the wisdom that comes from experience, the embracing of opportunities, the joy of discovery, the breath of freedom to explore. Understandings need not compete with each other; through the larger view, fulfill each other. Coexistence of the diversity of life seems incompatible; the larger your view, to be more inclusive.
