Peace of mind

JANU: We are working on what you might call ‘peace of mind.’ We visit this subject from time to time for it is a valid foundation for exploring the larger life. You ask, “What is a mind at peace?” Using words to describe this is a limitation for common usage of ‘peace’ is based upon being an alternative to a mind in conflict, troubled, disturbed, frustrated, questing, angry. So the model for peace is ‘opposed to’ not ‘what it can become.’

A mind at peace is alive in the sense of being open, observing reality without prejudice, condemnation, judgement. A mind at peace is pregnant with the potential of discovery, miracles of understanding, natural joy, happiness and beyond, essential nature and the wonder of potential. A mind at peace is not consumed with finding fault or compelled to fix parts of life.

A mind at peace is not obsessed with time constraints or even the measure of it, you see. It is timeless. Urgency does not disturb it. Acceptance of life and its creations, a strong sense of ‘isness,’ observing and engaging cycles of life and its creations is from the perspective of timelessness. This too shall pass and more will come to be is a theme.

More than the absence of violence, a mind at peace is at one with life. It understands the true power of being and sees the beauty in everything. So many in your world are not at peace, but they could be. But they feel justified in their anger and frustrations, lack of justice, not being heard or listened to. Those who talk over each other do not listen, yet they want to be heard. Yet they do not hear themselves or understand their current frame of mind. They are expressers of patterns they do not own nor are masters of. They are like recordings, playing over and over, and being activated by the patterns of others.

Peace of mind understands this but is not possessed by it. True Power, our brother, is freedom. Freedom to be in harmony with life and the life that you are. Choose freedom from the prison, the confinement of these recordings in your consciousness, in your memories, that replay endlessly. Recognize them when they occur and make choices.

Awakening, our brother, is remembering, rediscovering who you truly are and its inherent freedom to be. Being at peace while exploring all of life is balance, equilibrium, a reference from which to explore everything. Be not identified by these old patterns, or new ones that look the same or have the same effect. Your true identity is free of this but understands it all. “Who am I?” is a worthy question. Listen for the truth of the answer. Namaste.

The temperament of awakening

JANU: We are holding then the temperament of awakening. Now, we have said that it is based on peace and willingness of an open mind. Many find impatience, anger, and frustration in their seemingly unanswered questions as to the nature of many concerns. The temperament we speak of is one of harmony with the True Nature, an identity that grows into the larger life.

You naturally ask, “What is peace, then?” As we have said before, it is more than the absence of violence. Peace opens the consciousness to embrace, without modification or restriction, the Truth of Life, the truth of your own nature. For where is the wisdom, our brother, to employ the nature of reality into the affairs of carnal living? Awakening is not a departure from the incarnate life, but the path to fulfilling it.

When one observes a Master of their consciousness, the peace is unmistakable. There is a presence of mind, a radiance of being, and the seeming miracles of understanding, of patience, and a love beyond description. When one touches the hem of that garment, miracles happen. One does not achieve this to be demonstrative or draw attention. It is a path of service that raises the consciousness of humanity and requires nothing.

Being at peace brings balance to the systems of the body, the energetic realities, the consciousness and the whole being, allowing communication between all of the systems, the reality of who you are. This is what ‘attuning’ means, our brother, all that you are, being as one. New thresholds are revealed, realities of life, possibilities of being and becoming, and a loving insight into the reality of humanity. Your thoughts and understandings are in perspective and you realize that everything is all right and can change. Namaste.

Being the pendulum

JANU:    The theme at this time is “looking on the bright side of things.” While observing life’s challenges and the competitions that exist among people, the future can look bleak, because that’s all you see. As you awaken, your vision clears and includes more of life in balance, allowing perception to include the merit in everything. You ask, “How can there be merit in evil?” Evil, like bad weather, so to speak, helps define the range of the possibilities in life expression. Not that one prefers evil but why not learn from it, influencing your choices and observable outcomes. The more you understand through observation and experience, the more balanced your view of life and any circumstance.

Countless beings throughout the universe have these experiences and memories, conclusions, and wisdom gained. These are all a resource, our brother, for those who care to know and understand. Even among humans, primarily of Earth experience, collectively are a resource of vast experience and appraisals. So when looking on the bright side of things, so to speak, choose to see all of it.

The pendulum swings both ways. Be the pendulum, that touches everything yet results in a precision of consciousness that meters out wisdom and resolves the swings into a balanced point of view and appreciation of the moments of life. So, the ‘bright side,’ you see, isn’t so much opposed to the ‘dark side’ but the balanced understanding of both into one consciousness, one unifying perspective that reveals the destiny of things and their potential. The Nature of Life itself.

Many are concerned with the seeming dichotomy of the Earth and aging, deterioration of faculties. You ask, “Where is the bright side in this scenario?” It is that life processes continue on in cycles that repeat themselves, to move ever forward and further into what can be. So, your view at the moment is: understand from a larger perspective that includes that moment, you see. Cycles of life have a strength to them, an ongoingness as life reinvents itself, begins again, a bit more exalted from what has been gained.

When taking the short view, take the long view as well. Be the pendulum that finds purpose through these cycles of life. This is the fruit of awakening, our brother, among many others. Be the pendulum. Be true in your movements, in your conclusions, in your choices, in your understanding, Namaste.

Reality check

JANU: We are establishing then a course and a discourse to promulgate what has been happening in these sessions.

What is happening, our brother, is the fomenting of established protocols in the order of life that you inhabit for the re-emergence of your consciousness, your identity into the larger life. These seeming asides to the basic premise of this series are the formation of these, not only in the consciousness but in the record of Life, including yours as well. We turn to these to bring about triggers or catalysts for journeying in the larger life while incarnate. No small task, our brother. So pay attention to these journeys in the light of this understanding and we shall continue with this as we may.

These protocols are not arbitrary rules for engagement. They are part of the tapestry, the fabric of manifest life, the resources and the themes of creation. Kindness, love, patience, peace are still threads in this fabric, this tapestry. But wisdom, responsibility, and respect for the orders of life and life’s evolution are paramount. There is joy in this. And, yes, even light-heartedness. But a balance, a refinement of balance in all of these elements of experience.

Your persistence, our brother, is noted. It honors and respects ours. May we continue together these journeys in the Light. Namaste.

Character and the larger life

JANU:    Of the reasons, our brother, for incarnating on the Earth is included preparation for, through experience and wisdom-gaining, serving life in other venues. So you see, your incarnate life is one of the many keys to serving in the larger life.

The Earth is a wondrous platform for many of these opportunities and must be considered a significant part of the larger life you are awakening to. Other worlds have their conditions, some like those of the Earth and some not. It is possible to serve other incarnate consciousnesses, beings if you will, in their environment even when not incarnate, as well as in consciousness when incarnate. As you are aware, human civilization provides endless opportunities to experience service and to be served. The true nature of service, our brother, is giving and receiving. Balance is always a part of the motion of life.

As we journey the stars, so to speak, remember that your sun is one of them and the Earth is not the only world in your system with opportunities to serve. Be open to those travelers who visit your vicinity. The true nature of service applies there as well. As you develop greater understanding and abilities to serve and be served, these associations and collaborations will develop. So, you see, our relationship on these journeys provides many opportunities. This is part of understanding life, interactions and relationships ever-changing, evolving, seeming to appear out of nowhere, but there they are.

Kindness is welcomed and provides service wherever you travel. You need not be familiar with anyone to provide this. Be aware of those expressions of being that are universal. Kindness is one; there are many others. Kindness touches the spirit and is remembered, especially the result of that kindness. There are many ways to touch life, our brother. Even listening with a clear heart and consciousness is a great kindness. Allow others to understand themselves and their circumstance and their concerns by mirroring them.

What we are addressing here, our brother, is character and qualities to engage the larger life. Allow your human experience to be only part of your consciousness. Everyone is so much more than they know. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 44: What happens to me?

JANU: Peace again, our brother, is part of the path to victory in awakening. One might ask, “When awakening, what becomes of me? Do I still exist?” Yes, our brother, but in a larger way.

Within the human experience, the consciousness can have several identifications: human being, philanthropist, engineer, designer, musician. Many identities but you are still you. When you awaken more fully, the identity expands to include much more. The identity has the capacity to interface with the human journey, but many other realities as well. What happens is that you become something more, our brother, more than you were aware of before, more possibilities. Nothing of the human identity is lost, you see, but understood more clearly. No longer limited to reacting to life experiences, but responding in a more complete way. You are still you, our brother, but you are more.

The me in ‘what happens to me?’ becomes a larger reality. The only thing that diminishes is ignorance. Your love for life and your own being expands, deepens, through understanding. In ignorance, these are only words. In awakening, they speak of a life that is more alive. It is stepping into the sunlight for the first time. Whatever your interests, you become more aware. More is revealed, not just of the life around you but the life within you. A growing freedom and presence. Being ‘born again,’ returning to all you have known. Physical experience is only one of many.

Allow your consciousness to adjust and settle into the experience. Patience is a challenge for many, but it serves you well and allows peacefulness. Functioning in this way while incarnate is a process. Balance is a good monitor of your progress, your pace of awakening. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 39: True Power

JANU: For this morning’s journey, let us agree to the reason for awakening, a purpose from the human perspective. And that is part of what can be called ‘true power,’ which has nothing to do with self-aggrandizement, attention, manipulation of others, or anything of that nature. What it has to do with, our brother, is being a conscious part of the power of life itself, requiring nothing from that it serves, and allows all life to be. The joy in it is the realization that all of life is enhanced, facilitated, respected and honored, and benefited. When you are in the flow of True Power, one requires in no way any attention or credit personally. True Power is a service reality, a giving reality, a contribution. The reward is that life is served and continues and blossoms and expands.

Being one with life means that your consciousness, your expansion, your vitality, everything that you are is enhanced through the oneness of life. No longer do you compare the power of one to another, one circumstance to another. There is one True Power, without beginning or end, that requires nothing of you. Allow your consciousness to expand in this way. The human consciousness can evolve into this and evolve is the word here, the reality.

Awakening is powerful indeed, the power of freedom, the power of connection, the power to be vitally at one with the flow of life. No longer concerned with how you appear to others, but the loving flow of life for others. False power is self-destructive, in the sense that it isolates from what we speak of, for its nature is taking not giving. The flow of life is only giving, and receiving. This is balanced reality. The flow of life is always such. Allow your awakening to have a theme of balance, giving and receiving, that enriches life.

Loving oneself in the true sense is not selfish but self-fulfilling, for it enables and ennobles, inspiring others into their freedom. True power, our brother, a theme for living and awakening. Namaste.

Awakening 18: Creating and lifting the veil

JANU: The subject this evening has to do with the veil, as requested. Now, the origin of this, in the human experience, comes not only from the wisdom of the True Nature but those patterns of creation for the human journey, a contract of sorts between incarnating consciousness and the tradition of protocols for human incarnation. The reason for this has been stated more than once, having to do with focus and non-interference with gaining wisdom through service and experience while incarnate, without the distraction of larger realities that co-exist.

Now, the overcoming of the veil while incarnate has to do with protocols again. They being those that guide the consciousness while engaged in relationships and endeavors that call for greater insights and inspiration, not through aloof positioning in life, but direct engagement. These protocols are known through the True Nature, but the human tendency to propose striking bargains to gain advantage does not operate here. The truth of motivation, desire, and attitude are known, even as they form. As we have said before, there are no secrets. Freedom comes through service, our brother, with a giving nature and a love for life, the basic tenets of the flow of life.

Once again, understand this as process, not instantaneous change. You already live beyond the veil, for you are your True Nature, which is fully conscious. Continue to serve, learn, grow, gain wisdom, and engage more and more of life. The process of awakening continues. There is balance, order, and symmetry in the process of life. Embrace it. It has opportunity beyond your imagination, waiting for you to engage and become one with. Namaste.

One does not awaken alone

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

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.
