The journey

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

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.

The path of awakening

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.

Peace as a way 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

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.

Life in motion is rich with opportunities

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.

Balance of conscious of & conscious as

JANU:    Understanding through experience brings wisdom. The journey in your world brings about such changes. The incarnate life is to be experienced as it is to be understood. The wisdom gained broadens the embrace of life in such a way as to inspire it. The elements of wisdom gained elevate the base of understanding, enriching the path of awakening and enlightenment.

All of life draws upon this and is enriched, not just individuals but the framework of existence. All enlightenment is embraced by life. The power of peace is deepened. Understanding through experience awakens perception into reality and this, in turn, awakens the consciousness to an appreciation of all life and all it can be. Being conscious beyond the limits of individuality of the finite being, any reality in that is an instrument to explore life, to touch as much of it as possible.

So touch everything available in an enlightened way. It does not mean succumbing to anything detrimental but finding a balance between conscious of and conscious as.  There is vitality in this. The spark of life is a direct experience of awakening. Namaste.

Rapture

JANU: Rapture is misunderstood in the human vernacular. Rapture is peaceful, liberating, illuminating. It is freedom to be without limitation. Returning to pre-incarnate consciousness is a kind of rapture. It belongs to a series of experiences as one evolves. Life is that vast and that diverse. Rapture has a glow to it that is unmistakable. Not understood always, but amazing. Most people do not realize their heritage, their legacy in life, or remember the raptures they have experienced.

The protocol of the veil treats these as distractions to the limitations of the incarnate life consciousness. Typically, rapture experiences are not noisy. They do not shine negatively upon incarnate life, but bring understanding, revelation, and a joy in knowing the Truth. Yes, ‘freedom through understanding’ is an apt phrase.

You ask, “What leads to rapture?” The answer is: the desire to know, to understand, to awaken, to remember. Also, patience and timelessness in this. A faith in, and love of, Life. Rapture is natural and contagious. Namaste.

The ongoing foundation of existence

JANU:   We are assembling, then, that needed to enrich the incarnate experience as to the order of life that brings understanding to the consciousness for the harmonious manipulation of the creative currents of life. These currents exist for the express purpose of creation of the continuation of the flow of life for evolvement and enrichment. Creativity brings creations, which bring more creations, the deployment of which, through the realities of life, create the energy to support manifestation.

This understanding is part of our memories and are archived, for these experiences and expressions are part of the structure of life, the ongoing foundation of existence no matter the reality. Part of awakening is experiencing the truth that consciousness is timeless. A sojourn is a moment in that reality. The path of enrichment transcends such limitations and brings about freedom to be in a much larger way. We are one in this. Be at peace. Namaste.

Allow opportunities to unfold naturally

JANU:    A summary of coming opportunities begins with the announcement that there are currents existing in the flow of life for humanity and the Earth that are the progeny of other currents of life. This progression of the evolution of life is not unlike those of the individual and other elements of life. One seedling leads to another, and another, as do your own.

What we alluded to in the last journey is rich with opportunity, as life always is. Perception of the absence of movement are opportunities themselves, to reflect, re-evaluate, open consciousness and consider possibilities. As this mentioned opportunity unfolds, see this in the same way. No need to take charge, so to speak, which interferes with the natural outcome of opportunity. Being ‘open to’ these does not require micromanagement, only the peace that is part of awakening.

So let us continue with this, gently, with patience and understanding. Namaste.
