Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

JANU: Summoning up the courage to explore in the face of the challenges of ignorance. Conscious connection with others still exploring the lesser path is a challenge in itself, for the natural urge to serve becomes challenged greatly when attempting to share understanding that has not been embraced yet by others. The tolerance is founded in appreciation of the reality of being on all levels and the freedom of each to choose the steps on their path and their timing. You will discover among them, including yourself, those who hunger for more clarity, who look for solutions and answers to questions, are not so different from your path. What they need is up to them and their own Nature. The timing and depth and scope is theirs. Your challenge is to be what you are more conscious of, even with those whose consciousness has advanced beyond yours.

Choose privacy on your journey, subject to inner promptings to share, and even then, what to share, when to share, and how to share. Beyond just being, walk these steps of awakening slowly, allowing yourself and others their timing, their diversity, their model for living. Allow others and yourself space and time, patience and Life’s loving guidance. Not everything revealed at once. That bypasses the wisdom of experience, that leads to confusion and intimacy not founded in love.

Be patient. Be understanding. And be all you can be. Live your life in this way, and Life will not waste you or those you wish to serve. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU:   The benefits of awakening to the Larger Life, and the Light we call the Truth of Life, can be overwhelming, for it forecasts expansion of consciousness, depth of understanding, transcendent experience, and intimacy on a scale without end. The benefits keep giving as your perceived needs evolve, your understanding expands, and your faculty to embrace the larger truth deepens. Asking any question within and a wise response in many forms ensues, strengthened by wisdom, commitment, love, and intimate embrace that proves itself again and again. To understand and sense the needs of another, their confusions, their victories, their compassion for life, their integrity, and their nature is rewarding, to say the least, to both of you. It enriches the integrity of life expressions, creations, and their potentials.

Life is in motion constantly, often without understanding the path, the direction, and even the outcomes, endless repetition of life patterns without seeming resolution. Confusion opens the door to suffering, misinterpretation, denial of reality, and even hate and greed. Awakening brings clarity that grows in penetration and scope.

Awakening brings peace and symmetry and beauty to one’s evolution. The Light shines in every corner, revealing shadows for what they are. Light brings healing from confusion and unwise choices. The system of being is healthiest when all of that system lives harmoniously. It is the strongest then and continues to evolve. Awakening reveals the endless beauty of life itself, and its patterns of expression. Awakening inspires the realization of dreams, potential, passions, creativity, and generosity. Awakening stimulates confidence that there is a guiding force in life that embodies the virtues of being, of one’s value to life.

These are some of the benefits of awakening. There are many more. Namaste.

Allow the Larger Life to reveal itself

Comments Off on Allow the Larger Life to reveal itself

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   Exploring the coexistence of realities is similar to the reality of attuning the consciousness and the experience to a larger relationship with life. The perception that a reality, a dimension, is some distant thing perpetuates the perception of separation, of isolation from coexisting realities. These journeys are movement in the direction of conscious union with all of life, but some limitations remain in the longstanding perception of separation.

Allow, then, a reality to reveal itself to you. It’s in its nature to do so, but perceptions long held can block this, you see. Allow yourself to be conscious as all that you are. Not just human ego, personality, but including that as well. Conscious union is more than just the expansion of individuality, but becoming conscious as more and more of life.

Now the human consciousness can move in this direction, but it is a process, while conscious as a human, of adjustment. Getting used to, being comfortable with, feeling natural as the awakening proceeds. Not to shock the consciousness into awakening, but to merge in a healthy manner with more and more. The ‘we’ we speak of is all that you are, and as one becomes consciously united with the Larger Life, the ‘we’ expands to mean all beings.

Individuality coexists with union. The rest of life mutually enriching, surviving and thriving as a diversity of expression. Your so-called neighbor in a physical dimension you coexist with more apparent as the veil diminishes. No longer the need for privacy, for what is there to protect from? The more one becomes aware of reality, the more the reality of integrity becomes identified with, and the integrity of others as well.  This is true coexistence, and so it is with dimensions and other reality.

You speak of exploration. Life is unlimited exploration and is growing. Allow the truth of these perceptions to reveal themselves in their own way. Be more alive than you imagine. Namaste.

Comments Off on Being all you have gained

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , , , ,

JANU: Incurring responsibility takes many forms. Many forms are needed for the needs are diverse and many. Service to life takes many forms as well and many are needed. One not greater than another, but different enough to fulfill the most needs. Your confusion in this area is due to awakening to the different forms of service and ability to respond.

What we see in this is the power and effectiveness of being. Not just words and ideas but presence, qualities, potential. Consciousness and vitality, the presence of Life, go hand in hand. Holding the need of another into the Light, the Truth of Life, is a subtle doorway of Light to be shined upon the need of another. Their consciousness, their desire to know, to be and understand, is their key to unlock opportunity, insight, and potential.

Do not underestimate the universal continuous presence of Life and its vitality. Being this is significant, reinforcing, bringing into clearer consciousness what has been gained. Build the stronger foundation for that yet to be gained in beingness. Embrace this with clarity that grows. Not just an idea, you see, or philosophy, but an actual presence, a part of life and its universality, its oneness, its connectedness with everything. Reinforce this foundation with this in mind, of becoming more fulfilled and fulfilling. Namaste.

Understanding and mastering the veil

Comments Off on Understanding and mastering the veil

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU:   The veil experience is two-fold. As a protocol for incarnation the True Nature agrees to, for purposes of a fulfillment of the human journey to wisdom through experience. Focusing the consciousness by way of identifying as a human born of the third dimension, even though much more is part of this reality than many are aware of. The veil is not the enemy of human consciousness. It is the guarantor of focused involvement. There is wisdom in this, even though a temporary reality. But while identified as ‘human being’ this does not occur generally. Being conscious of the reality of incarnation, which the veil provides, is not being conscious as. The veil is a state of consciousness.

Desire is a motivator for change and the mastership it provides. It begs the question: why does the True Nature agree to this experience? Because the larger understanding and the wisdom accumulated on that level pursues evolution for consciousness in all realities. And the human experience is rich in these. Now, there comes a time when, on the human journey, questions arise without apparent answers. So the human consciousness desires more and the True Nature hears the call. The fulfillment of the desire is a catalyst for resolution. The union of consciousness is a journey of wisdom as well, of ownership and mastery of the larger life of each one.

The veil is an arrangement, a contract, an agreement in the nature of consciousness. Understanding more deeply the human dimension eventually requires awakening to its nature as well. This path of discovery is subject to the timing, the readiness, the desires, the discoveries of each one. No two the same. Made more apparent by the nature of the questions being asked and the insights being discovered. This journey of awakening grows with each insight, each moment of new understanding that is embraced and incorporated into the perspective of each one.

This path of discovery is not linear or uneventful. But, as it begins, it becomes more difficult to ignore because it is fulfilling, liberating, enriching, and brings more peace to the pursuit of life. The human condition can make it seem illusive, impermanent, and unfulfillable, but that is a limited view. The Larger Life and a larger view are one. One grows into something more. Futility appears differently to the one awakening.

Some would ask, “Awakening to what?” Awakening to the nature of Life itself, and your own truth. Awakening to the harmony of the systems of life, even the dichotomies. Own the veil experience. Understand it. Master it. Take advantage of it. Awakening also means remembering. Choose to remember who and what you are. Namaste.

Self-governing—collective social gov’t

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening, The Human Condition

, , , ,

JANU: Self-governing for a society entails a measure of awakening through conscious union. It can begin with a desire to find common ground with others. What do you have in common as a foundation for mutual benefit? Reaching into the vast possibilities, embrace a model that evolves, changes, grows, realizing a greater and greater potential. What relationships and structures can benefit everyone, appropriate to each one’s potential? Discovering the reality of mutual connection, perceiving with a perspective of understanding coexistence of individuality and common good or benefit.

The imposition of laws and regulations imposed by a few does not carry the insight of collective consciousness, integration, and the wisdom each one possesses from within. In a world of many creatures, “nature” if you will, the benefit in productive consciousness effects all nature, for it is all connected. Even the behaviors of creatures of the world will evolve. Humanity will come to realize these many levels of contribution to the rest of nature. The direction this takes is a choice. Humanity unawakened does not realize it is not alone in this. All of life is in motion, attempting to realize its potential and evolve into new possibilities, new achievements which set the foundation for even more.

Self-governing is much more than current politics and legalities. Everyone is involved, learning, growing, understanding, and awakening to a larger life. By any comparison, many are still in slumber. The veil is not fixed or permanent. It is temporary. Self-determination and awakening move beyond any limitation, based in a growing wisdom as to the nature of Life. Each one has a legacy of insightful wisdom, of experience, memories. This of course takes initiative, assumption of responsibility, standing in your truth, and exploring it. This is government by the people who have common ground in their True Natures. Namaste.

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

Comments Off on 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.

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.
