balance, choices, harmony, perspective, wisdom

JANU: What distinguishes this morning’s service from others is the propensity for tolerance of the lives of people trying to make sense of their lives. They rely on churches, religions, professional counselors, therapists, the external influences more than their own inner reality and are confused about how to begin. A beginning is to desire deeply to understand life, your own life, to discover your faculties for embracing a deeper and larger understanding. Many are not even grateful for being alive. Society has accomplished much to support living, but not a lot to support a clear sense of being and ownership of existence larger than their sojourn.

The peace we speak of is a wonderful pathway to understanding. They think that the resources outside of them are the substance and security of their lives. It is temporary, and flawed, unreliable. But seeing these with insight, depth, and the inner wisdom changes this. One need not embrace everything in society to meet their needs, so it is wise to choose with some care what you embrace.

Realize that there is wisdom within, insight beyond the external life. Balance the two with patience and insight into the Truth and to the existence and purpose of opportunities. Even the largest ambitions in the material world benefit from a core reality of harmony with the truth of your being and the larger life. Entertain the timeless reality of existence to have a maturing perspective on reality. Merge the inner and outer life in a balanced way. Namaste, our brother.

The Human Condition

balance, challenges, human potential

JANU: The overcoming of some by the twists and turns of life is from the confusion about the seeming dichotomy between peace and challenges. The premise for successful living in terms of achievement, survival, and well-being is that the peace and the twists and turns are one. One in the sense that each needs the other. For peace only, meaning the lack of challenges, does not have the depth, the broad strength and foundation that comes from all that challenges afford, including experience, strength of character, endurance, a determination to continue and master. For all of these things build a consciousness that can bring clarity and balance in the lives of those who feel overcomed with an imbalance between the two.

Your challenges are not unknown to life. It comes from the constructs of existence and the creations of those struggling to meet them. The evolution of life and truth includes clear sailing and the occasional storm. Life is constantly adjusting itself, flexing its potential. There is a natural flow of challenges, as well. To overcome the feeling of futility, place the challenges in your life in perspective. They are not your whole world. Balance them with inner strength, insight, and the tradition of your existence far larger than one lifetime, our brother. See your life as a flow of all of this, with a net worth to it all. You are becoming stronger as a being, wiser, and more in ownership of who you are and all you can be.

All of the challenges in life are not met instantly. They have a life of their own, based upon how you meet them. You get the challenges you need, whether you understand it or not. They are evidence of the presence of life and the truth of your existence. No challenge is devoid of its solution, its resolution. It lives within it for you to see, embrace, and master.

The times of peace are for inner balance, symmetry of your being, and the coordination of your thoughts and feelings and interpretations. Embrace all of life through the wisdom and love of your True Nature. You are an unlimited being. Achieve the truth of that and continue on. Namaste, our brother.

Peace, True Nature & Incarnate Life

balance, cycles, integrity, systems of life, the True Nature

JANU: We are elementally speaking on the nature of existence and individual being. Fundamental principles of life agree with each other and, in so doing, allow for the manifestation of a more complex existence, such as an individual being. Look at your own existence and ask the question: Are the elements of my existence agreeing with each other in such a way that my existence continues and is engaged with more and more of life’s reality? Pursuing this understanding develops a broadening conscious awareness of what makes for successful existence. Not just one malady after another.

This approaches the earlier journey on ‘balance.’ The integrity of each system, or element, of your being in cooperation with each other brings balance. You ask, “What interferes with this in the day to day of life of human society and individuals?” Primarily, it is a lack of peace, peace of mind, peace of emotions, peaceful desires. When examined closely, it is easier to see one system competing with another for dominance and fulfillment. When seen in the larger way, one emotion does not exist by itself. It is coupled with thoughts, experiences, and the influence of others, but not in cooperation, not at peace.

Elementals of life have cycles of duration and natural existence. In some thinking, an elemental is a duplicate or copy of a more primary reality. And each one has such a reality. We call it the True Nature. Elementals represent a larger truth. Do the elementals in your life represent your primary existence? When we suggest ‘being at peace’ this is part of what we refer to. Any unrest in your systems of existence?

Life is teamwork, our brother. You are an individual, from a certain perspective, with many systems of life allowing for many experiences and the evolution of a core wisdom. Consider these carefully when desiring balance and peace. Namaste.

Exploring balance and imbalance on the human journey

True Nature & Incarnate Life

balance, collective consciousness, the True Nature

JANU: We are searching out, if you will, the need for re-balancing in the collective human consciousness. For this is the root of so many elements of discord on the journey of Truth. The degree of collective human balance changes greatly over time. Stability in this area of the human journey would lead to more rationale thought, behavior, and motivations.

Now, balance involves many things, for the human and the True Nature of each are a collective of many systems of life. This balance can be disturbed by fluctuating energy fields humanity is yet to be aware of. Countless interactions. Balance can be recovered, to a degree, by those who serve life, but this is temporary in the presence of human diversity in a consciousness that is influenced by a life of excesses, externally motivated desires, and the human games played between each other. A more permanent, complete, and appropriate balance is found in a close relationship with the True Nature, the source of who you think you are, the Eternal Nature. Unstructured equilibrium in the thoughts and emotions can be seen and understood for what they are, with perception based on the insights of the True Nature.

The incarnate life is filled with imbalances that can be a vast resource of experience to explore the reality of balance personally and collectively, allowing one to master their lives and contribute greatly to the human journey. Focus upon the balance in your life, or imbalance. Choose to understand the reality of it and what would change it. Namaste.

Awakening into Larger Life

balance, forgiveness, incarnation

JANU: We are aware of the struggles of humanity in the midst of an incarnate life filled with wide ranging experiences of brutality and beauty and wonder. We understand this, the path of life that seems to have too many potholes, ruts, hurdles, and reversals. This tempers the experience, broadens the resource of experience to develop the ability to see through situations, attitudes, behaviors, to the beauty of the life that allows this. They are minor in the larger view of life. All of these have beginning and end, temporary. But the love that allows this expression is permanent and, yes, eternal.

So choose wisely what you hang your hat on, so to speak, as a reference for stability in your life, solid foundation, and determination to continue the path to wisdom, peace, and enlightened service. The balance here is to be conscious of everything, understand its existence, and be steadfast with the truth within you. All is forgiven in the larger life. Misinterpretations, misperceptions, misunderstandings. It’s as a child learning to walk, behave in relationships, absorb the falls, rise up again and move on.

Be mindful of the path of improvement in the midst of reversals. The patterns of life exist simultaneously, our brother. They co-exist. But consciousness appraises them and chooses. Be conscious of the truth behind everything, including your being, and cherish the wisdom that comes. Difficult to do within the midst of challenge of pain and suffering, but choose to return to the balanced life. Find your equilibrium and continue. Help others understand this, as you may. Namaste.

The scope of life

Comments Off on The scope of life

Miscellaneous Journeys

balance, integrity, systems of life

JANU: Let us probe, then, the magnitude of life, its scope. Finite reality. Through all realities, including this universe and countless others. Can there be a common principle behind it all that looks like, to the incarnate mind, the ‘back door ’ into everything? And the answer is ‘Yes,’ because there is a ‘back door’ so to speak to who you are.

How may we understand this so-called ‘back door’ to all of creation? What does it afford us? What does it mean? A singularity experience is a beginning of understanding, touching both sides of the coin of creation, the manifest and the unmanifest. Seeing life as a system, every reality of it connected. Systems continue to be, when they possess balance within themselves and, in association with other systems, they hold their integrity in balance with each other.

When we explore together, there is a balance within our integrity that makes possible all that we accomplish, experience, and understand. We do have a growing integrity of balance and the intimacy of oneness. There is some of this between couples in life, as the years go by and the balance of love evolves. Their integrities, their consciousnesses, overlap and at times appear as one, with similar understandings, perceptions, thoughts and feelings. We are growing in this way, our brother. Thinking carefully, you can recall evidence of this.

Understanding one element of life, you can begin to understand many others. In time this will extend to the consciousnesses of others and not just human. The scope of life includes all of this. How can there be such a vastness in creation yet still, we are one? Namaste, our brother.

Happiness

Comments Off on Happiness

Miscellaneous Journeys

balance, choices, inspiration, perspective, Service

JANU: We of the Brotherhood of Light have presumed for a long time, time being a relative term, you see, that humanity would engage in pursuits of happiness that transcend current social relationships that are more a part of the past than the future. A worthy question on this pursuit is: What is happiness, and where does it come from, and what does it afford?

Happiness is a condition of consciousness. It comes from deep within and radiates from an individual that is unmistakable to others. Being at peace with life and who you are allows this.

Happiness extends itself into the lives of others. Even those who, in their ignorance, reject it are touched anyway. Their choices in life are enriched and their True Nature comes closer to the surface.

Happiness is a great liberator. And happiness creates after its own kind, without effort.

Happiness is a natural healer, bringing balance to the systems of life.

Happiness anticipates, with fondness, every moment and every day. Impossible dreams and adventures become as achievable, with the confidence that happiness brings.

Happiness brightens your aura and every part of your being.

There is a lighter side to life than the stifling effect of seriousness that sees no humor in living. Take a moment and choose happiness. Allow it to come from within you and enjoy the experience of it and how it changes your perspective, bringing an energetic freedom to enjoy life. Wishing everyone this experience, namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

balance, inspiration, service to life

JANU: It is a worthy journey, our brother, to explore the journeys of humanity and the light and glory they bring to life itself. The public has been conditioned by the media to focus upon mayhem, with occasional glimpses of the journeys into Light by humanity. Would that they brought confidence to humanity to create beauty, genius, creativity, and to love each other for it. Humanity’s experiences are a product of their choices, but for many they know not what to choose other than that that looks like their neighbors’ choices, accepted by society, to gain favor and not ridicule based on being different.

A worthy goal for each day is to create something beautiful. Beautiful in the eyes of another. Beautiful in your own perception. And beauty need not be limited to grand creations, but the tiniest moment of kindness, relief of suffering, the joy of a child, a moment’s freedom from social oppression or limitation.

What makes a creation beautiful, our brother, is its symmetry, its balance, its universal appeal to the heart and soul of another. Beauty endears people to life. Beauty captures the essence of nature and of Life itself. A moment of beauty is remembered and cherished. And the soul desires more and is compelled to share.

Create some amount of beauty at each opportunity. The effect it has on others will be the same that it has on you. And it enriches life. And it serves humanity. Namaste.

Playfulness

Comments Off on Playfulness

Miscellaneous Journeys

balance, condition of human life, freedom, inspiration

JANU: We are walking away, so to speak, for the moment, from the drama of human existence to the lighter side of life. From the human perspective, awakening is serious business. But on the lighter side of life, there is much playfulness, enjoying life as it come, playful manipulation of energies, bringing amusement and a joy in association. The sobering drama of human society tends to block these from view.

There is a time for pursuing changes in the drama of life and a balancing time for lightheartedness, playfulness, easy banter if you will, and a joy of observing the miracles of life, its beauty, its symmetry, its creativity, its beingness. Art and music, the child dressing up to be an adult in its imagination, and yes, even the games people play to amuse themselves. Playfulness with animals and small children.

Playfulness serves life everywhere. Are you free enough from seriousness for a moment of playfulness, to lighten the heart, unburden the mind and emotions, and allow the systems of the body to find equilibrium and enjoy each other? Strolling barefoot in the sand at the waters edge. Smelling the flower. The hues in your aura change during playfulness, softer and dancing.

It is not difficult to notice these changes in someone or yourself. Always find time for playfulness and yes, even silliness. Nurture your sense of humor. Allow its freedom and, above all, be kind and you will have a wonderful day and lift those around you. Namaste.

The Solarization of the body for well-being

Comments Off on The Solarization of the body for well-being

Miscellaneous Journeys

balance, disease & health, Service

JANU: We are tailoring this journey to the needs of the many and the few. The few with needs they understand and the many with needs they have yet to understand.

Proceeding in this way, we embrace what is called the solar wind. Now, science sees this as the rapid movement of charged particles, radiations from the sun to be protected from. These are not the only radiations from the Sun. The Sun has life giving properties, energies that are not influenced by the magnetic fields of the Earth. They have to do with what we call the ‘solarization’ of the cells of the body, enhancing in a balanced and perfect way, not just the body’s immune system but the energy fields within and around the body that are a life force of balance and repair. These conditions have been present since the beginning of Earth’s journey, in some ways conditioned by the realities of each world, especially those supporting life.

Our service to this reality consists of clearing the atmosphere—and we don’t mean just the air—the energetic atmosphere to complement this flow, which is essential for well-being. There are many factors in nature, in life, that contribute to well-being. Namaste.
