JANU: Encouraging others to awakening by example has merit as long as the form and title of theirs is shaped by their desire and free will. So the reality of awakening as a theme need not appear as yours does, and connects better if it doesn’t. Life is more diverse than the awakening of one, and there is strength in diversity. Resilience, endurance, unending commitment, and ownership.

So what would inspire another to awaken, our brother, in their own way, in their own time? The peace, the happiness and richness of your own. The love to be seen at the heart of everything, including the overcoming of challenges and the acceptance of them. Generosity in achievements and patience with each other. Encourage people to be hopeful, to cherish new understandings and to expect more. Be pregnant with life, giving birth to life’s enrichments. Confidence that there is a future worthy of endeavor and persistence. Allowing the believing in each other and forgiving, no matter the challenge.

These are basic qualities, fundamentals of ongoing life, and part of the reason that life continues. It is allowed to. It is nourished and encouraged. It is supported. It is embraced. Being guaranteed outcomes of living takes away the wonder, the miracle of discovery, and creative freedom. Characteristics of life, our brother, are ongoing change, creativity, spontaneity, and miracles. The next breath, our brother, is no less a miracle than the birth of another, a breakthrough in understanding.

Everything in your life matters, including you. Awakening is not limited to discovery of other parts of life, but your own True Nature. For without this, our brother, what is awakening and what is the purpose? Who is doing the awakening? And why does the path of awakening even exist? You are more aware, more loving, more capable than your human consciousness currently possesses. And even your True Nature, our brother, is evolving. What better platform and foundation for exploring life and all it can be?

And it is possible to learn of, appreciate, and know the True Nature of another. Collaboration is the mark of the Family of Life. Namaste.

JANU: This second look at the miracles of awakening begins with insight into motivation. For how can you create change in your life if desire is not there, passion, the wonder? The incentive for this, at least in the beginning, is the current conditions of living in the incarnate life. Incarnate life is not inherently a negative experience. It can be quite miraculous, with one breakthrough after another of uplifting experiences.

Challenges and successes, yes, and even failures of a temporary nature can strengthen resolve, teach great lessons, reveal the nature of your life. “But to what end?” you might ask. It is to own these experiences, our brother, to make them viable elements of your lexicon of being, for, when applied to an awakening consciousness, they prepare one for new and more expansive adventures of wisdom and experience.

Repeating elements of life endlessly is an option, but how does that serve you? But for some, that’s what it takes to see the lesson with clarity and embrace change. The range of living experiences, understandings of involvements and evolvements is as fast as human consciousness chooses. For some, it appears to be a straight, linear path to awakening. For others, it seems to run in circles without end. And everything in between. It is all life, our brother. The choice is yours. The lessons are yours. The rewards are yours. Time and space do not cover these, but they are part of them.

Your experiences in life come from your desires, your interests, your passions, and, yes, your fears and apprehensions. Choices have results; awakening brings clarity to the results of choice, the opportunities, the rewards. So, awakening is not just the path to a perfect life, our brother, but to one of clarity for your choices. And what is perfection, then, but life’s ability to be anything and everything? So, you see, our brother, awakening is also the path to freedom, which includes relationships and the freedoms of others in service and example, inspiration.

As with any family, we are stronger together than apart, for we grow with each other, benefiting from everyone’s successes and the wisdom that comes from their challenges. So, welcome to awakening the larger life which is within you. Namaste.

Awakening 1: an unending journey of discovery

JANU: The merits of awakening include solace for those who struggle to make sense of life. Many possibilities are imagined and dwelled upon and examined from many perspectives, but seldom is the focus generated by the True Nature heard. Listening unerringly to the truth that lives within you is to be practiced and allowed to blossom and inspire. Listening without prejudice and at peace with the power of peace calms the turbulence of struggle. The insights of the soul, so to speak, have a beauty and simplicity to them, bringing together the loose ends of consciousness, and imagination and wondering, into a focus that reveals. Patience and struggle and confusion seldom mix to bring clarity.

This quest of yours to explore awakening in a meaningful way, to inspire others into their truth, is founded in love and wisdom and true power. These are qualities of your True Nature. Human social consciousness wanders past these while thinking that the words are understood. Simple truths, our brother, while seeming plain to understand have profound layers of meaning, taking many lifetimes to embrace and manifest through the opportunities of life. Look not for a simple solution without layers of meaning constantly evolving and growing into the larger truth. Part of the reason for the veil is to focus the sojourn experience and not be distracted by unlimited possibilities all at once. Simple yet profound understanding of many realities brings wisdom when patiently applied and lived.

The path of awakening is not meant to bypass anything, but to bring consciousness to everything you consider, desire, and reach for. Love alone, our brother, has unlimited possibilities of meaning and reality. Consider the challenges and opportunities for the human consciousness to master even this one path of discovery. So you see, through the wisdom of the True Nature, one explores life and its realities with patience and commitment and care. Awakening, our brother, is not a destination but a journey of embracing life, who you are, and all you can be, discovering that the Family of Life has always been your family, rich beyond concepts.

This is how we begin, our brother, to engage awakening. Namaste.

Awakening: Embracing your True Nature

Awakening: a series

, , ,

This is a new series, exploring the process and experience of awakening, in a direct and organized manner. It is hoped that these will inspire you to take your own journey of awakening.

JANU: We are honoring this request to build an understanding of the path of awakening. This path begins with a growing desire to be more conscious, not only of life but the reality of your own being. “And what does this mean?” you ask. There are so many realities within the True Nature of each one.

  • The natural ability to realize oneness with any part of life.
  • To understand creation, nature.
  • What motivates people on any level.
  • Collaboration.
  • Symbiosis.
  • And even more so, the true nature of love.
  • With increasing insight and vision, perception, the many purposes of life, recognizing opportunities to understand and manifest potential.
  • To embrace the life of everything, whether animate or not.
  • To learn patience, commitment, endurance, and service.
  • The reality of connection with everything and everyone. All of this by way of the presence of your True Nature, who you are and always have been.
  • The memory of countless past associations and the accomplishments of many sojourns, whether on the Earth or not.
  • Maintaining good health, not just physically but emotionally, mentally, spiritually.
  • The challenges and victories of evolving a more cosmic consciousness.
  • Loving yourself and understanding why.
  • Enriching the flow of life by giving away what you have received.
  • The true power of peace and intimacy.
  • Engaging the many realities of life, physical and beyond, and the beings who reside in them, and the elements of your being that reside there as well.
  • The discovery of more and more of life.
  • Answers to unending questions and inquiries.
  • Past, present, and future reside in the Now as one truth.
  • Other worlds, other galaxies, other universes and beyond.
  • True freedom to be.

But the beginning of this is the desire to know who you truly are and the nature of Life. Does your identity include more than the human experience? Do you respect and love who you are? Who is the true ‘you’ asking these questions, and answering them? What is the Family of Life that you are included in?

Let us proceed then from this basic foundation and premise to build an understanding and a growing experience into the grandest journey of all. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening

JANU: For this evening’s adventure, let us embark upon a path that retains the essential nature of life with purpose. The range of possibilities is beyond number, for wherever there is life, there is opportunity. And what is purposeful depends upon the conditions. Shall we say that the conditions that these journeys are responsive to is when consciousness calls out for understanding bringing reason to the thought process, to the emotions, and the nature of others. For understand this, our brother, the True Natures of people are in proximity of communication and mutual support. This we attune to this evening. And there is an affinity for the awakening of consciousness.

All over your world, there are those who wish for a better life but do not see a path for achieving this. They only see a tradition of ‘not knowing.’ What we support this evening is the path to awakening. The many insights you have gained are the result of this. And it is a process, our brother, of the quickening, the inflow of insights, of understanding, the application, the assimilation, and the grander freedom to explore not only the creations of life but your true identities.

Reaching then into the flow of life, helping people understand and open to who they truly are. What grander empowerment can there be? Vistas unimagined await humanity and the consciousness of their True Natures. May we all journey together and live the Truth of Life. Namaste, our brother.

The inclusive nature of awakening

Comments Off on The inclusive nature of awakening

Elements of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU: Welcome, our brother, to the journey of a lifetime: the awakening to your True Nature and all that that includes. Some would call it an altered state of consciousness. More inclusive than altered, for even the human consciousness, the human journey, is included.

As one awakens, one includes more and more of the Truth of Life in their awareness. And not only their awareness, but their engagement. This truth has two faces, if you will: the inclusive nature of your own consciousness and the inclusion of you in the larger life. For there is a collective consciousness of everything some call ‘oneness.’ Speaking with one voice, living with one consciousness, being one with everything and every no-thing, brings a perspective to your relationship with life and life’s relationship with you that has no secrets but the wonder of realization of potential. What some would call the ugly side of life, of human behavior, is measured by and exists within the beauty and wonder of it all. This is the perspective of the awakening consciousness and the nature of the life that continues on.

Challenges are part of the mix. Open your heart and your mind to the rewards of these. Be confident always in the substance and nature of the flow of life. Engage and embrace everything in this way. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening

JANU: Rambunctious does not describe this current approach to journeying, but methodical and careful consideration do. So, as we nibble away, so to speak, at accomplishments, let us be even-minded and lighthearted, organized yet flexible, and spontaneous. Always ‘at peace’ and open. Each faculty supports the others, as does each journey. As in composing music and in a symphony, so many elements involved. Not only the consciousnesses, the physical dexterities, the development of instruments, the decisions on composition, the many coordinations, relationships of notes and sounds, the music, but the inspirations brought to those who listen and participate, the lifting of consciousness, the many layers of energy imparted and impressed. This is awakening, our brother, fine-tuning.

Everything is for a reason, whether understood yet or not, and draws on the experience of so many. Puzzle pieces are unique yet they fit together with others and are part of a larger picture. Each one is needed, as are the experiences of the journeyer. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Life beyond the veil

Comments Off on Life beyond the veil

Elements of Awakening, True Nature & Incarnate Life

, , , ,

JANU:    What we see first here is a more spontaneous response to living situations, not only in your understanding, your awareness, but your relationship with others and their needs. Humanity in general is constantly seeking enlightenment. Life is very confusing in many situations. Many play a game of society, posturing image for impression with others to fit in and for advantage, yet secretly longing for pure understanding to the nature of life, their own existence, and wisdom. Very confused as to what love is and simple happiness seems illusive. Representing a more natural way of existence through constant attunement or awareness as to the nature of life can be an inspiration for those looking for understanding or answers to their questions. Not from you, but from within their own True Natures, Life itself. And that is what this is about, in part, our brother. A natural existence of understanding and awareness, a knowingness within your being untapped so to speak, always. No sense of aloneness and being lost in the sea of life.

This connection we speak of that you inquire about is not abnormal. It is uncommon. But more people tap into this from time to time in their lives than they realize. You can inspire them to be better at it, so to speak, for it to be more reliable and available. Every insight need not be recorded but taken within to your foundation of understanding.

We see developments here, not only in understanding but utilization of faculties in the application of energies and consciousness, promoting healing, peace of mind, a strong sense of inner strength and confidence, a natural happiness and sense of humor, recognizing absurdities and enjoying play. Much to explore and accomplish and, yes, master.

The veil, our brother, was never intended to be permanent or eternal. Only a tool to help one focus on the incarnate life, only for as long as needed. More and more are nearing the end of that journey, to find guidance within to carry them further. All of these and more: faculties, facilities, and gifts of life to be explored. Understanding and experiencing a direct connection with the rest of life is a grand journey, for life is rich and has much to offer itself in the coming together. Many systems in your physical bodies have a harmonious and mutually beneficial relationship. All the parts of life have this as well.

Becoming one in your consciousness, in your experience, is enriching. Developing this way of life while incarnate as well is full of wonder and so-called miracles. Life is magical, our brother. The scope and depth of the journeys cannot be fully foretold. But the promise is real and so is the fulfillment. Namaste.

JANU: The development of the ability to open to full consciousness is on its way. Changes such as these, our brother, are best accomplished in a measured way, and the adjustments to be made while maintaining a central core of sanity and balance. We would have you see this with patience, commitment, confidence, and faith in the Truth of Life, the truth of your own nature.

What you are achieving has been achieved by others and longed for by many others, in one way or another. One does not awaken alone,   although it seems so at times. You are part of the Family of Life and are supported and welcomed. We are not here to disrupt a tradition but to be in harmony with it. As you have said, “Steady on,” our brother. Namaste.

The miracles of life

Comments Off on The miracles of life

Elements of Awakening

, , , ,

JANU: We are reaching, symbolically, into ‘our bag of tricks,’ seeming magical and illusive to most. But they are not, our brother.

Opening the bag and reaching in, one finds a peaceful consciousness that seems unlimited. A growing understanding of the nature and elements of many planes of existence. The power of the understanding of truth that is in motion. The power of perfect understanding, the perfect moment or juncture in someone’s life. A so-called ‘sweet spot’ in consciousness that triggers the revelation of so much. The magic of inspiration, illumination, and a balance in the presence of everything. And open-mindedness, with discernment and growing depth of perception. And vitality.

The goal here is not to bypass life and its challenges or opportunities, but to own them, the master of the journey. So you see, our brother, not tricks at all but the miracles of life. Namaste.
