Two sides of the same coin

JANU:    Understanding the dichotomy between so-called evil and Life settles the mind and the passions into equilibrium. Negative and positive—two sides of the same coin. Positive builds the neighborhood. Evil is the catalyst for change, paving the way, opening the door to reconstruction, redirection, re-creation. See not these seeming opposites as enemies of each other, preferring one over the other, but pick the middle way with equilibrium between any dichotomies in life. They exhibit range of possibilities. They perpetuate the tension that motivates life in motion. Now, in incarnate physical life, they are perceived in this way. But in the Larger Life their counterpart is understood as part of the flow of life.

Allow the dichotomy. Perceive it in the middle way. Attune to the balance they possess. Choose your involvements with the wisdom of the center way, not preferring one over another. They are part of the tension of life. They create change and opportunity. They refresh each other. The coin exists because of the two sides. Develop thinking and perceiving in this way, about everything. Namaste.

Equality

JANU:    Equality speaks of diversity with balance, proportionate, a prosperous relationship with life. Observing others and oneself from the perspective of equality is a great revealer, not only as to potential but the beauty of the moment as each one walks through their life. Equality includes what might be called ‘strange bedfellows’ for their life can be widely diverse. Yet here they are, existing, relating in one way or in one level or another.

What is an equality perspective when looking at everything? It is a reality of its existence. How can part of Life be at odds with itself? It coexists, for each existence draws upon the fundamental principles of Life and its potential. The fact of existence gives credibility to being. Equality includes all of the elements of any path that exists, whether incarnate or not, whether understood or not. A balanced view or perception or engagement or understanding is an equal relationship with existence. Is your understanding and appreciation of another based on equality? Namaste.

Happiness and humor

JANU: Humor is an integral element of a balanced life. It brings lightheartedness and an easy, flowing manner of exploration. Seriousness is appropriate at times, but humor should always be available. It calms and balances conflicts, uncertainties, and doubt. The phrase “laughing at one’s self” is of great value. Better even still, laughing with yourself. It is never a so-called putdown, you see. It lifts. The two are so intertwined in the reality of the Larger Life that the incarnate life, so often seriously taken, would do well to be infused with these qualities.

There is much that is worthy of humor, worthy of humorous perspective. Happiness and humor are good partners. They are a taste of true freedom. They open the consciousness to the richness of being. Lightheartedness floats, so to speak, in the sea of life, moves freely in harmony with the flow of life, its many currents and eddies. They see life as wholesome, healthy, and wise. When expressed, they are infectious to others, for it is in their nature to appreciate the influence from within themselves and be reminded. Even the creatures of the Earth respond well to a happy and joyful presence. Playfulness ensues.

Seriousness seems powerful but it is limited. It’s confining. It is focused and narrow. Happiness and lightheartedness open the consciousness to unlimited possibilities. These attributes we speak of do not replace commitment, dedication, intimacy, while engaging life and its possibilities. So, allow humor into your observations as you experience more and more of life. The Larger Life includes the incarnate reality. Experience all of life in this way and true peace seems more natural and present. Namaste.

Being life in motion

JANU: Assuming then that the popularity of insight, forecasting of the future and the nature of occurrences, is the best path for balanced awakening, the balance, our brother, occurs when insight matches creativity or creation and observed changes for evolution in life expression. Direct knowing suggests that what is being experienced is a stable reality, predictable in outcome. It is not. Life is possibilities super-imposed on each other, the choices of which, or selections, are not only possibilities but combinations of these. Opportunities are the same way. So success in awakening is founded in choices, choices based upon current perceptions and potentials of the moment, conscious awakening in a field of reality with many layers of coexistence, co-potentials, and ever changing and evolving outcomes.

So successful awakening is what works for you, and even that is changing as you evolve. So what you hang your hat upon is life in motion. The so-called successful or ‘right way’ as a path of awakening is what inspires and fulfills you in a limitless variety of choices and outcomes. If you are at peace, find happiness and joy, rich in love of life and its potential or future, you’re successfully awakening. Be at peace. Continue on. Explore. Evaluate. Observe and gain wisdom, whatever it may be. Be life in motion. Namaste.

Service at night

JANU: Late night service incorporates consideration for the changes in the venue as night befalls the Earth. People are more prone to accepting the delivery of assistance, blessings if you will, during this time. The energetic environment changes. The creatures of the wild settle down. The plants and trees rest their ceaseless journey to grow. The lunar influence is enhanced. The Earth’s facing away from the Sun is calmer. Many changes in the evening are considered when lending assistance to everything that is the Earth.

So, let us assist the nurturing of everything that is the Earth while it rests, contributing to the efficacy of prolonged exposure to the nighttime energies, serving humanity’s rest time, recuperation, rejuvenation, and periods of insightfulness, when minds are more quiet and impressionable. When the Earth sleeps, in a manner of speaking, rejuvenation, peacefulness, and, yes, the dream states, even in the animal kingdom, are an opportunity to restore balance in the systems. Compared to the daytime, the evening casts a hush around the world.

As night moves across the Earth, the gathering of those who serve humanity changes. Let us acknowledge these and honor their standards of service as we join them in service.

Namaste.

True peace has always been within you

JANU:  This evening, what we add to the clamor of those who build monuments to peace through force is the faint cry of those who reach out for peace, a simple life, without any idea of how to achieve it.

Why does the peace, the quest for peace, seem so powerless in the face of those who use force to achieve peace? What a contradiction this is. True peace is not realized in this way. It is born of the power of peace itself. And this peace, this power, neutralizes forcefulness. So then, to our brothers crying out for peace, find it within and, no matter what is going on around you, you’ve reached your victory. For in this life and the life beyond, true peace has nothing to do with force, and the calm between wars is not true peace. If it were, the wars would not continue.

What we serve this evening is the inspiration within of this message of peace to be achieved individually, for within your nature, your True Nature, peace will always be found, without fear, without force, but with the power that is in harmony with life itself. In true peace, the body finds health and balance, rejuvenation, and revitalization. Disease is not the product of peace. It is the product of fear and force that produce depletion, imbalance, and the decay of the body.

True peace has always been with you. Follow the wise counsel from within when walking in a world of counsel from without by those who claim wisdom, experience, and their own kind of power. So, find the peace that you reach for, that you’ve always had but have forgotten its source. Namaste.

The balance of giving and receiving

JANU:    What we serve at this time is each other, in the sense of the balance of giving and receiving. It is the natural order of life, the in breath and the out breath, the giving and receiving. It is how life flows. Too often it is misunderstood or rendered imbalanced through the human passion born of individual preference and perception of need. We serve today the simplicity, the beauty, and the art of giving and receiving as co-existing reality, in such a way as to realize its true essence is not two things at all, but that which some call life’s love.

Any time you have the perception that you are giving separate from receiving, you are imbalanced. While your attention may be on serving another, what is it that serves them but that which you receive? Many who are in need from one point of view are those who have lost their balance or equilibrium in the true nature of giving and receiving. For in this truth there is no lack, there is no darkness to the spirit. This natural reality expresses in the fullness of its beauty when it is constant. And when it is, the duality of giving and receiving becomes one. To the degree you sense one over the other, you express imbalance. This does not mean life has ceased. The experience that comes with this balance might be called “presence,” for in that truth life is omnipresent.

Now, when you observe a creation or manifestation having beginning or end, this does not refute the balance of which we speak, for this balance of giving and receiving into a finer truth serves the journey of the creation that it realize its full expression of its beauty. Find this equilibrium within you and touch the life that is before you with it.

Return to this theme in your service opportunities and observe enhancement of the service. Namaste.

Mother Earth, the healer

JANU:   We are peaceful, then, this evening, resting in the presence of alignments throughout the Nature.

Healing energies of the Earth, bring balance, peace, and comfort. The challenges of daily living weigh heavy upon many. Creating life patterns in consciousness, they perpetuate imbalance and a lack of ease or peace within the systems of the body. And, of course, these experiences cause emotional and psychological patterns that reinforce or perpetuate imbalances. Mother Earth is a healer, for the bodies are made of the Earth, you see. They are part of the Earth, its nature, energetically and physically. Serve well, our brother. There is need. Namaste.

All things are created equal

JANU: Return, then, to the previously held notion that all things are equal. What we speak of here is ‘essential nature.’ Being of the same origination, how can one be greater than another? For each one has an intrinsic value according to the nature of Life itself. Should Life disregard one creation before another, which would be an attempt to isolate life from itself? But even the attempt adds diversity to the fabric of life. Patterns of life represent the culmination of experiences.

Equality takes the wind out of the sails of judgement, you see, the epitome of balance, coordination, and collaboration. Observe your own life, your thoughts, emotions, judgements, in this way. Let this guide decision-making. Move beyond the notion that ‘all people are created equal’ to ‘all things are created equal’ from the perception of Life itself.

Taking the larger view of life and the view of the smallest part of it, see them as one. Some find peace in sameness. Choose to find peace in diversity. The patterns of life unite in this way, communicate with each other, are synergistic and make the wholeness of the collective. All of these journeys, our brother, are equal, as are everyone else’s. Greater or lesser appraisals limit the view and the understanding. Namaste.

Discovering a reason for being

JANU: We are enumerating then that which we hold dear: the evolution of life, which includes everything. Raising consciousness is driven by desire, experience, thoughtful consideration, focus, and emotions.

What does ‘consciousness raising’ mean, then, but the expansion of awareness and conscious relationship with all of your potential and its service to life? Helping each other is a delicate balance between these and the freedom of another, their own destiny, their potential, their fulfillment. Life is arranged, so to speak, in a way that encourages balance, opportunity, and fulfillment. Life is not limited to the concepts and form and structure, procedure, tradition, scale of common human perception, but includes all of these and so much more.

The conscious human mind grasps for meaning and understanding and discovery beyond its ken. To achieve this, one must align with, attune to, become more one with, in consciousness identity with the larger Nature of their being. Observe, understand, and experience everything within your realm but grow more into the ability to witness all of this with new eyes, so to speak, profound insight, deepening perception, and a love of life and self.

In a sense, it is the new frontier for humanity at this time, a frontier that is unlimited, eternal, and ongoing. What is there to lose in such an adventure but ignorance, limitation, frustration, confusion, unfulfillment? Discover a reason for being. Namaste.
