Being at peace

JANU: We are moving forward again with this series on awakening. We are not suggesting in any way, our brother, that awakening is a requirement for a productive and happy life, but awakening affords many opportunities otherwise. There is a human tendency to create a framework for living that is defined by timetables, markers of achievement or lack thereof, goals that must be met, and comparing one life to another which includes judging. The larger life, our brother, has no such requirements. Find peace in yourself and your life no matter what.

Being conscious through awakening to a greater degree provides opportunities for engagement and satisfies a natural urge to evolve, to grow and expand, to enrich understanding, and to serve each other, inspire each other into richer lives. In a sense, these journeys are journeys of your True Nature, the source of these desires to evolve, to learn, to serve. But the human journey is temporary. The wisdom gained is permanent. It adds to who you truly are.

The unawakened human mind tends to fragment its life in the limits of one sojourn, seldom planning or considering a larger perspective to include many on the path of evolving; therefore, the perception of time limits for achievement. This does not bring peace in the sense that everything is all right. Your life is acceptable to the Source of Life, no matter what. Your True Nature never condemns you. By ‘you’ we mean the human identity, the human personality ego. It is a temporary journey with opportunities. The part of ‘being at peace’ as recommended is the acceptance of this and allowing others their own freedom to be.

Happier times are coming, our brother, as more and more awaken to the Truth of Life. The choice has always resided with each one. The societies, the cultures, the national order, the military, all of these things are human choices. None are required, but all are allowed to fulfill their destiny of experience and learning. Wisdom is gained through living life and the choices that are made. And all choices, our brother, can be changed. Life adjusts itself, moment by moment, based on outcomes, desires, and choices, and opportunities presented through engagement. Leaders and followers in your society have chosen these courses and they can change from one to the other in a moment. None of this is permanent.

Be the captain of your life, of your course, your path, guided and inspired by your True Nature, the Divine within you. Be at peace. Namaste.

Opening to new experiences

JANU: Our natural tendency is to provoke new thought by way of experimentation. Experimenting with awakening by reaching for new experience inspires in the consciousness new thought. So begin a journey by postulating a new experience. Of course, within the integrity of your True Nature. New experiences abound in the larger life, whether incarnate or not. These need not be dramatic, but simple truths, simple possibilities that don’t cause instant rejection by being too outrageous, denying everything you hold dear. Allow these to be clarifications and expansions of what you value. Now, new experiences of merit inspire more. One truth leading to another, you see, expanding your perspective and your interests. In time, you will explore new capabilities, new insights, new adventures engaging life.

The body needs nutrition as does your consciousness. Deeper and new understandings rebuild. Serving life reciprocates; blessings that move through you bless you as well. It is the way of life. Intelligent in design and in prosecution. Love is the revealer, revealing everything for what it truly is. This is why we suggest loving who you are, no matter what you perceive. The truth will be known. Loving another is harmless, as true blessings are. Allow these in your life. Basic principles. Happy journeying and namaste.

Willingness to allow

JANU: ‘At will’ is the theme for this journey, meaning: “What are you willing to be? What are you willing to allow in changes in your life?”

When engaging the larger life, what role does your will have to play, and how does it engage and interact with the willingness of countless venues of life, beings, worlds, realities? Are you willing to have what some humans would call a small or insignificant role or do you require importance? How diverse is your willingness to be part of life? And are you willing to respect the will of another, even the flow of life? What are your desires, as opportunities become apparent?

Even this journey, our brother, evolves. Willingness is not static or fixed. It is very fluid. Listening to life, no matter how it’s portrayed or embodied, is as important as expressing your involvement, your being, your desires. Being compatible with the rest of life does not mean being invisible. It is still choices, our brother. And what makes a wise choice?

This understanding is worthy of consideration. When negotiating, counseling, making agreements, contributions, and new associations, allow listening and understanding to blend with expression and decision-making. Listening, our brother, includes far more than words or thoughts. It is an experience filled with sensations, impressions, responses, and touches all that you are. The human mind is dominantly binary, one thing and another. The larger life, the larger consciousness, the larger reality is a mixture of everything, with selected involvements and relationships and, yes, associations.

What we refer to here is a departure from consciousness with borders, limitations, individuality, separation to one with inclusion, breadth and depth far-ranging and adaptable. Not everyone can embrace this in the same way or at this point in their lives. But this is all part of life, our brother, that includes everything.

Whatever journey the consciousness is walking, see the beauty behind it and in its destiny. Your willingness and theirs play a role in the larger life. Be true to your example of being. Allow them theirs. Share what you may. Be as allowing as the flow of life. Embrace the larger life and its realities in this way. Namaste, our brother.

An approach to engagement of opportunities

JANU: The phrase this evening, the theme, is looking directly into the eye of each opportunity. Now, opportunities on these journeys are contact, engagement with many parts of life. When embracing or looking into the eye of an opportunity, whether another life or part of the structure of life, the gaze of your attention is not to penetrate or be forceful in any way, but to be alert and allow the truth of each existence to be as it is. Gentle honesty and patience without fear or forcefulness. What you present is the truth of who you are and life responds in kind. This sets the stage or the atmosphere for the exchange of understanding and experience. Looking opportunity in the eye, so to speak, is a candid and honest point of view. Allow opportunity to reveal what it will. There are no secrets, but there is integrity.

For this evening’s journey, there is an opportunity to experience a Council of Elders as they consider our journeys of association and collaboration. They meet you eye to eye, with their honesty and integrity, and they welcome your participation. Our journeys are not the first they’ve considered, and they are aware of compatibility with others who journey and are considering opportunities of mutual engagement.

Be not concerned whether your peers understand you or not. They have their destiny as well. The most you can do or be is true to your own. Life is aware of all destinies, our brother, and wastes no opportunities. Be alert to these associations. Namaste.

Awakening 53: Allowing awakening

JANU:  We are dealing with endurance and commitment to the awakening journey. Endurance because there are, in fact, challenges to awakening. The ability to concentrate, focus, to build on and develop momentums, to open to new understandings not based upon structures of the old ones, the challenge to merge the experiences of awakening into the daily life and its structures.

Yes, our brother, there are times when pauses are needed to rest, not be overwhelmed by so much to learn and accomplish. Some of this comes from pushing too hard. The mind is the doer and it’s easy to forget the naturalness of just being, without timetables for achievement or empirical pursuit. Resting from time to time is not a departure from commitment and momentums. Gentleness in awakening, without comparisons, allows for rejuvenation and enthusiasm to return.

You are not required to accomplish any of these things. Encouraged when interest and desire is there, yes. The demands, requirements, are self-imposed. Loving an experience into your life has a natural peacefulness and even a seeming randomness that your consciousness finds agreeable. Think beyond time/space. It is more allowing than creating awakening. Pushing makes it more difficult.

Allow your consciousness to be who you truly are. Everything is as it should be. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 48: Momentums

JANU: We are pointing out that momentum plays a key role in awakening. The momentum of repetition in allowing an awakening experience. Momentum in the assimilation, application of insights. Momentum in the thrust of life being less impeded. Momentum in the nature of change. Momentum in the deepening and developing of faculties. Momentum in confidence and the revelation of truth in all you do. Momentum in the expansion of consciousness and engagements in what you become aware of. Momentum in the maintenance of health that the physical part of your experience remains adaptable and at peace. Momentum in your caring for others, their well being and their understanding. Momentum in the successes of your own life.

It is true, our brother, movement from the consciousness of competition to one of collaboration, mutual support, and sharing what you have with others, and accepting the gifts of their existence is a building experience. When you attune, go within, see the truth around you with regularity, and new experiences, your systems of life, of living, anticipate each encounter, each rejuvenation, each new experience. You become what you would call ‘pregnant with life,’ giving birth to creativity, changes, and opportunities for yourself and for others, giving new meaning to ‘being wealthy.’

So, build your momentums with patience, commitment, and a joy, as life gives birth again and again in your day. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 46: Transitions

JANU:    Having once said that the decline of a civilization is a transition, one opportunity to another, such it is from one incarnation to another, one idea to another, from one philosophy to another, from the veil to awakening. See changes in life as ‘transitions.’ More understanding and acceptable than ‘endings and beginnings,’ for in transition, you see, reality is transformed not eliminated.

So embrace awakening, should you choose this path, as a transition into a larger life that retains everything useful. Some speak of leaving the body as a transition from one life to another. This is true but it is not the end of what you know, what you own. Life is full of transitions, movement, change. This keeps life fresh and new. Awakening is this kind of movement. Your sense of being makes the transition from limitation into freedom. Awakening is not the end of the journey, our brother, but a transition into a larger one.

When you evolve in consciousness to a clearer understanding of anything, that is a transition. Now, transitions, our brother, are processes and need to unfold in due order. Making the adjustment, or allowing it, we should say, is due process for what has been your foundation for understanding and engagement of life is changing. Be at peace with the process. Praise the gentleness of the natural flow of life. Learn from the process. Life is revealed through this. Much to experience, much to learn, much to enjoy, much to love. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Awakening 42:   Memories

JANU: We are sharing then, this day, a welcome to all who journey on the path of awakening, welcoming home all those who have forgotten their heritage.

A large part of awakening is remembering. How often do people reach for some piece of information they have forgotten but find that, until they let go of it, stop struggling, it eludes them? When they move on past the inquiry, the remembering comes. So it is with awakening, our brother. Reaching for the truth of who you are returns to you as any frustration is left aside. As one gets on with living, the memory comes.

Living in the present, in the moment, with what is at your doorstep, gives purpose and reason for the memory, you see. Real life in the moment is the catalyst for it, that it find expression and enrich your day, your life. Remembering your nature enriches the moment, brings understanding to facilitate wise choices, reduces the need to repeat the cycles of life, and their experiences, over and over. So your life becomes more efficient, more effective, fewer repetitions of opportunity, and easier flow of new ones.

Remembering is the theme here. It is a natural process to remember who you are. One does not demand a memory, you see, but allows it. The energy pattern is entirely different and allows the wisdom of life and your True Nature to hold sway. Choosing to remember more of the truth of your life is allowing with an expectation that that truth exists and is yours. As each memory arrives, gratitude serves well and confidence grows, for the wisdom that comes serves you. Frustration and struggle and a feeling of lack or deprivation limits you.

Allow your consciousness to remember, to recall more of the truth of your being, your many journeys and experiences, service and enrichments, as well as your associations. Choose to remember. Allow it to be. Love it into your life and the gratitude opens the door even farther.

You have had memories in the past, in this lifetime, that came in this way. Remember them as well; they are a connection. You can even remember when you incarnated and the changes that took place and why you chose it. Remember the joy of just being and its true peace. Remember the subtlety of love itself and all its meaning. Remember when time and distance did not limit your travels, your explorations, your perspective. Even remember your first incarnation and what led to it. Memories are a rich resource to deepen your life. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 41: The ordered reality of awakening

JANU: The impetus, then, to perform ‘awakening’ comes with an order that avoids chaos. The True Nature is intimately aware of this and is your best guide to awakening, for the order involved, of the elements of awakening, has been constructed or arranged by the elements of your current incarnate journey, in consciousness and experience and wisdom, leading to the thresholds involved. So comparing one’s journey of awakening to another is not with merit. Being such a personal reality, a growing sense of the presence of and a knowledge of your True Nature is key. The human identity is a brief experience, with beginning and end. The True Nature, your true identity, has no such limitation. So any newness to this understanding or experience is born of the limits of unawakened human consciousness, identity, and experience.

The sequence of these journeys on this subject is not in order, for everyone has a different structure in the framework of their existence. One need not be concerned with the order of awakening other than allowing it to unfold according to the wisdom of their True Nature. That wisdom includes successful relationship between awakening and the incarnate life. Not one to the exclusion of the other, you see, but a marriage of the two. The True Nature contains that wisdom.

Awaken to what you have always been, richer than you were before, and richer still to come. There is, in fact, order to life, even in the midst of what looks like randomness and chaos. The larger view contains the order. The smaller view only parts of it. But the order is always present, even in the smallest things. Awakening is the key. The potential of discovery and creativity is so vast that the human mind, unawakened, has difficulty embracing the scope of it, and the order of it. But a rewarding direction to awaken in, our brother, for as one embraces the order of life, the understanding comes as well. So a life of order, in the true sense, is a vast life and unlimited. Awaken into your truth and enjoy a wondrous journey. Namaste.

Awakening 25: Overcoming the fear of awakening

JANU: We are addressing, if you will, that which comes to the fear of awakening, which restricts the experience and can eliminate it temporarily. You ask, “Why would one fear to awaken?” The uncertainty of the unknown, the challenge to current preferences of understanding and relationship, the identity of self as human being of one gender or another, or profession, you see. Comfortable companions on the journey of incarnate life, they give a sense of security, permanence, stability, what to expect tomorrow. Awakening can be frightening until one begins to understand it.

“So, how does one begin?” you ask. By listening within for the truth of who you are. Your True Nature communicates to you in many ways. The desire to know. The desire to achieve. The desire to be more powerful in your own life. The desire to love more deeply, more universally, and understand the nature of love. Finding peace in a life where peace is challenged and not easily obtained. The universal questions, “Who am I? What am I? Why am I here? What is there to know?” and “Are there others that I have known and will know again and what was our relationship?” The relationship between your physical body, your thoughts, your emotions, your dreams.

As has been said before, the root fear of all fears is the thought and feeling of being alone, on your own and unaware. The time for sleeping, for more and more people, is drawing to an end, no longer satisfied with unanswered questions. A greater freedom is in the offing, our brother, freedom in every way. The people of your country cherish freedom but do not fully understand it, or how to achieve it and make it a way of life.

True freedom, true power, true peace, and a deepening love of life are some of the gifts of awakening. Not to leave the incarnate life, but to fulfill it. These potentials, and many more, are inherent in your True Nature. Claiming them is a way of life. You need only desire it and allow it to blossom within you. The understanding will come as the awakening continues and the Truth of Life is being revealed. Namaste.
