Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   Established as one, we begin again this dialogue of light. Establishing, then, once more the momentum of being. Reaching, then, into the vastness of the Truth of Life, some call the Light, we choose to see and understand what is.

Let us begin, then, by announcing the forthcoming of a degree of enlightenment, a threshold to be achieved by humanity through self-determination and their own True Nature. The future is not doom and gloom. It is awakening to the full potential of life, individual being, and an enriched and awakening society. Preparing, then, for productive and meaningful connection and exchange with the Larger Life that already exists.

Let us proceed, then, through the discourses to come with an open mind and open heart and a desire to awaken. There is so much more to be experienced and service to be rendered through direct knowing and co-creating. We see at this time momentum building in this direction. There is no culmination or end to this awakening, this movement of life, for all of life is in motion, changing and evolving and creating.

We anticipate and look forward to the joy of becoming, for everyone. Solutions to challenges, the meaning of everything, realization of potential, and the joy of being coexist with your current level of awareness. Ideals and heart’s desire. We begin again, bidding namaste.

Mastering the many faces of identity

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU: The focus, mastering the many faces of identity, a profound treatise on a consuming journey of discovery.

The role of identity, for most, is to establish purpose and to master that purpose, to benefit from it, to display and to compare with others. Identity becomes a central focus for most, not seeing it as a transitory reality, temporary but with purpose. Identity becomes the focus for understanding, skill development, personal relationships and alliances. Identity has the scope that results from exploration, experimentation, and discovery. Identity offers peace of mind, to a degree, identifiable traits and development.

Identity gives recognition to individuals, to each other. It’s similar to accepted names, unique to a degree, different enough to reveal diversity. Some identities are cultural—skills, talents, types of personality, racial, gender, performance. They are a limitation as well, for the common roles of each identity have their limit, their range, their inclusion. Some envy or long to be the so-called identity of another, in terms of many things—profession, language, culture, economic, appearance, even ego—not appreciating their identities as limitations.

There are some who explore alternatives to this, learning new professions, new skills and talents, exploring deeper meaning and revelation of their own True Nature, who they are beyond physicality, social norms, nationalities, and, yes, even gender. This is the journey of awakening, of becoming more realized, gaining access to previously achieved understandings and abilities. The challenge is letting go of one to gain something larger that includes some of previous, becoming more a conscious collective of possibilities, creations, experiences, life journeys, with a growing ability to see this in others, whether physical or not. For they realize there is a larger Life than social humanity. It is all around them, all part of the one Life which is ever-changing, evolving, creating.

Identity is temporary, but with purpose and opportunity to focus on a path of exploration, of wisdom-gaining, and of service to life. Understanding such as this opens the door to patience, tolerance, and contribution. Find peace in this and liberation, freedom to be whatever you choose from the opportunities that come your way. Namaste.

Probing the reality of the Larger Life

Comments Off on Probing the reality of the Larger Life

Other worlds

, , , , , , ,

JANU:   Probing the reality of the Larger Life is returning from the depths of ignorance, not by fault but by the nature of the journey. The freedom of experiencing the presence of the Larger Life brings gratitude, confidence, and fulfillment of discovery of your Nature, the nature of everything. The quest to explore other worlds is part of the quest to remember to become more conscious, to recover that which seemed lost. Revealing the True Nature and owning it is like exploring another world, for as you explore the Larger Life we are exploring our nature. No longer the separate identity of ego-personality and local experience.

There is an intimacy with the realities of life that has been softened due to the protocols of incarnating. Awakening is like being truly alive once more. Not only being conscious of, but being conscious as. (LINK to More on C of, C as)  There is joy in this, peace, freedom, fulfillment that continues to evolve. These qualities, experiences are always available whether incarnate or not. They are part of the true heart’s desire to experience and understand.

Without these things, the challenges of living seem to overcome and the frustrations and anger in so many clouds the view. A grand service to yourself and others is these revelations. Yes, even anger and the like are opportunities to find and employ solutions.

Understanding these parts of the human psyche can be liberating and empowering. Love these qualities, which are your Nature, into your life, into your day, into the moment. Allow these, for they are yours. Namaste.

Inspiration

, , , , ,

JANU:   To employ reason in the midst of disorder begins with perception of one’s own thoughts and processes. The question is “What works for you? What is practical? What stimulates insight, breakthrough understandings?” It is a relationship, whether conscious of or not, between the personality, the ego, the incarnate mind, emotions, and other qualities and the True Nature and its perception and relationship with the Larger Life. Any unreasonable reality seems not in harmony with this. In other words, it doesn’t work for you…yet.

You will find that as you mature in wisdom and experience, the line between reasonable and unreasonable shifts. One’s consciousness matures as awakening becomes more inclusive. One can perceive the relationship of everything to everything. For as one forms distinctions between the two, one must grow in openness to be more inclusive in the range of perception as life as it is and is becoming. Final conclusions of observation must be in motion as well, to evolve in wisdom. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening, Inspiration

, , , ,

JANU: Striving to ordinary social structure, order, is only part of the journey of experience in this world. Awakening through to the truth behind it all, its many nuances, layers, meanings, realities, evolutions, is the journey. And the journey includes service, enrichment, the elevation of peace, intelligence, maturity, and even love. There is much it fulfills and rounds out. The opportunities, even they are evolving.

Life is in motion everywhere. So be in motion, as your guidance, your insight suggests. Look for opportunities appearing on your doorstep, such as these journeys together. Every day, a journey of some kind, to varying degrees. Continue with this. Discover its path. Be attentive, committed, and open. Namaste.

Shedding light on the nature of mind

Comments Off on Shedding light on the nature of mind

Exploring the Richness of Life

, , ,

JANU:   Assuming an assembly, the criteria for the rite of understanding, let us begin by saying: the discourse* is a reflection of another’s experience in understanding. Perspectives on the truth of this vary.

In our case, for instance, we are awakening to the larger truth of being through the formlessness of light and the love of life. True experience in this direction encompasses, embodies much more. The discourse in the literature can be a small trigger or catalyst to a fuller truth. Experiencing this is a diverse reality occurring in stages, the elements of which occur spontaneously due to life experiences and processes. The answer to your query is “Yes” but a qualified one.

These discourses tend to tie things together with a ribbon that cements the discourse as a complete understanding. It is not, but it has value for it stimulates inquiry. Higher and lower mind is a misrepresentation or, should we say, a limited one of the reality of oneness, of union, of the reality of awakening. In a larger perspective, the entire being is awakening, for the entire being is one but is also many elements of reality. Registering these insights has reference and opportunity.

Continue as we have. Read as you will. Return for clarification, illumination, insight, and application. Namaste.

JANU:    We are encouraging, then, the discourse of the moment that begins with the illumination of entry level consciousness into the larger reality of individual being. We would say this: There comes a time when there is much to be learned and gained within the purview of incarnate life. We would say this in response to the many questions about purpose in life, about a better life, about the resolution of challenges, about the desire to uplift others which is born from the desire to find upliftment.

We say these things in earnest. Let them be pursued in ongoingness to these inquiries and ultimate discoveries. Why not join in the revelations of your own Nature?  Therein lies the secret to awakening. Realize that who you are is much more than what you think you are. Begin by opening to the Truth within you. Namaste.

Exploring the Richness of Life

JANU:   Elaborate plans and desires confine the path of awakening to that complexity. Light and peace are not limited to complexity. They are much larger. Universal reality speaks to all of life. Refinements of application apply only to those applications. Reverse engineering these refinements as a path to universality, unlimited application, and creativity is a liberating experience.  Being free to be the potential of life means not being owned by any one expression or creation, free to know it for what it is and to recognize the freedom that allowed it. So walk the path of freedom and be. Find peace as a way of life, enriched by the Light, the Truth of Life, unlimited identity. Namaste.

Experiencing the flow of life

Exploring the Richness of Life

, , , ,

JANU:    Approaching the subject of opportunities at this time leaves you barren of ideas. The rest of you is not. So, we forgo delay and bring about an influx of opportunity.

The first opportunity for selection is a greeting for all who long to explore and understand. Let us ring the bell, indicating direction and opportunity to proceed. Our choice at this time is that which is touching our consciousness to the flow of life. The flow of life is a motion, the movement of its richness across the field of life expressions, beings, realities, creations, potentials. Experience and feel the rippling, the undulations, the currents caused by opportunities touching potentials. Potentials are the expressions of life in each one. Your own potential creates a ripple in the flow of life to bring about opportunity for exploration into the richness of life.

So, place your attention upon your desire to explore, understand, and be. In this case, being at peace, allowing the flow to harmonize all that you are. Allow this. Allow the turbulences in consciousness, in emotions and memories, the frustrations, denials to blend. The wisdom gained, the experience refreshing, the preparation for awakening no longer owned by disturbance, but owning it all. Namaste.

JANU:    We are serving, then, the opportunity to proceed along the lines of the investigation of opportunities in the flow of life that proceed along the lines of awakening. Experiencing these opportunities, no matter how mundane they may seem, is part of awakening for there is understanding to be gained, forms of service, enrichment of the Tapestry of Life serving opportunities for others. In the midst of walking the day, be open to becoming aware of opportunities to attune to, whether people or circumstance. Yes, even the creatures of the world, and the world itself. Set no limits. Disregard nothing as unworthy. Namaste.
