Remaining in the physical has always been a challenge for me, as I prefer the inner life. My journeys with Janu have helped me to understand the connection of the two. This is a personal acknowledgement of my growth, as well as inspiration for others on the path.

JANU: Good morning, our brother. You’re beginning to experience the oneness of our relationship. Not an easy concept to allow into the consciousness for many. You are beginning to realize that adversity and uplifting achievement draw us closer together, when one embraces everything they experience in life in ownership. In some ways, the life free of challenge is somewhat barren.

For today’s journey, let us discuss—or should we say explore—pinnacle experiences. And at times, they occur together. A pinnacle experience, then, is that which reveals understanding that is somewhat unique on life’s journey. A life of peace can be realized in the midst of challenges and blessings.

Do not see challenges in your life as failures of any kind. Can there be compassion for the suffering of others by those who’ve never experienced any, never taken one step in their shoes? Helping others see their circumstance with a new perspective that empowers them is a worthy manifestation of your own experience. How long you survive incarnate life is not the issue. The experience, the wisdom, the service you gain from it each moment is its purpose. Carrying on and not withdrawing from life is true achievement. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

True Nature & Incarnate Life

challenges, Self-mastery, the True Nature, wisdom

JANU: What is a life challenge, then? What are its merits? What success at wisdom comes from these challenges? Challenges can be found in every part of life. And what is the measure of success for any of these? The success is the wisdom gained, our brother, and the freedom to move on. You envision, at times, existence without challenges. A challenge can be both troublesome or a delight. The result is the same, the opportunity is the same: the ongoingness of life, mastership, and the movement through life of that needed to overcome a challenge.

How many see a difficult challenge, physical or otherwise, as an opportunity to gain understanding and a beneficial experience? Most of the energy and thought is against the challenge, attempting to push it away, ignore it, resolving it without enduring it. Some challenges can appear to be life threatening in the incarnate life. It is still an opportunity to experience its manifestation, and your ability to overcome, or repeat the life pattern at another time. Some challenges are opportunities to excel, to embrace, to find solutions, to serve life in some way.

Move from a perception that any challenge has any power over you, only what you allow it. Engage your challenges through the power of your True Nature, the Eternal You. Not to obliterate the challenge, but to master it, growing stronger with each success. Challenges are not your enemy in life, no matter the form they take. Patience with the course of each challenge yields the richness it has for you.

Seeing the truth and destiny of our choices

Miscellaneous Journeys

challenges, choices, conditions of human life, Truth of Life

JANU: Let there be an understanding that the progress towards peace, in the world of humanity, is passing through some critical struggles and conflicts. The awakening of humanity is the path beyond this. But accepting it is challenged by those who would destroy, filled with anger and fear, believing that the power of force is the answer. They will run their course and do their best to bring confusion and fear. Their time will pass. It is important that those who are centered in a better way of life remain vigilant, use the power of prayer, and not be tempted by the power of force.

Those nations in the vicinity of ISIS are going through great turmoil. Even if ISIS controlled the world, what would they have achieved? Another Nazi Germany. ISIS represents fear and power and force and destruction. The challenge here is to deal successfully with its illusion of power, not with its patterns but with something more permanent, more lasting, more creative. Force can be met with force, but then the wars continue and nothing new has been learned or achieved. ISIS is made up of people. The opportunity is to provide alternatives to their misguided model for achievement and understand what motivates them. Their so-called successes in their region are allowed by those who only know violence against violence. This model of living and governing keeps humanity where it is.

The world working together on one level playing field of prosperity, mutual support, and constructive freedom must be developed and will not be achieved by isolating the growing numbers dissatisfied with current relationships and models. They must be engaged in an enlightened way, that they see their truth for what it is and that it will only bring them more of what they are against. They are the architects of the past.

So let us begin by shining the Truth of Life everywhere, that everyone can see the truth of their choices. The awakening of humanity is the path. Humanity must choose for itself and open to alternatives, begin to perceive the destiny of their choices. Yes, our brother, the push is on for awakening. Namaste.

Evolving communication

Miscellaneous Journeys

challenges, communication, evolution, larger life

JANU: We are combining with others to explore life, survey opportunities, and appreciate the desires of countless beings to explore and further their lives. Humanity is one such, as well. Humanity’s strong passions to evolve have existed through many changes. Other worlds have this as well, some of which humanity would recognize, much it would not understand. Looking for answers in nature, the sky, and so-called heavens, language has been both a blessing and a limitation, for with language it usurps the ideal or desire for communication and perception.

How does one shake off then the evolution of communication through language for something less ambiguous, with deeper meaning, encompassing far more of life? The powers of perception through awakening provide the answers. To evolve beyond language, spoken language, is an interesting challenge. Consider then that language on other worlds will not be English or any other Earth language. So where does that leave communication, mutual understanding, tolerance, patience, compassion, and relating? Could it be, then, that other types of communication are invaluable? Direct knowing beyond words, a sensitivity to the revealing energies of another, the patterns, emanations, inner configurations of thought and feelings, memories, visualizations. To be developed, seeing spoken language as an evolutionary step, not a final destination.

A picture truly is worth a thousand words, if understood. Is there any common ground in understanding an image or a color or moving patterns? Purpose and reason for being must include more than physical identity. The non-physical reality of human consciousness has always been in play but being accepted more and more as part of the human experience, not finding the answers in understanding just the physicality of the journey. Even individual consciousness, thoughts and exploration, are conditioned by words and their limited meanings. So how can communication in these new ways with others even begin without first beginning and developing with the individual?

When communicating with an animal or a creature, it is far more effective to project the visualization of meaning and inquiry. This is easy to test and witness, as you have already done. Spoken language is only part of the path of communication. It is wise to develop the rest of that path, even within your own consciousness. Namaste.

Blending of harmony & challenge in the life

Comments Off on Blending of harmony & challenge in the life

Miscellaneous Journeys

balance, challenges, harmony

JANU: Which do you prefer: a harmonious life without challenge or a life of challenging opportunities? One is a blissful life and the other rich with achievement. Why not both, our brother, co-existing? The challenge is bringing wisdom to the harmony, the harmony bringing the strength and returning the wisdom to gain more. Measure not the worth of your existence by just the virtues of harmony, but the growth you achieve by mastering life as it is.

As you blend both in your life, the insights into understanding become more profound. Sanity is a precarious thing without the balance of these two. “What then is sanity,” you ask, “to be cherished, nurtured, achieved?” Sanity is a harmonious relationship with life that maintains integrity, serves life lovingly, grows in understanding of life’s interplays, and finds peace in the midst of everything.

Resolve the extremes of living by coordinating your engagements to produce creativity that spawns new life. That’s what the flow of life is, our brother, forming the new from the old. Structures, forms, and functions change, but life continues. When one form is replaced with another, life did not end, only the forms and structures that it supports changed. Recognize the cycles of any form of life and see them in this larger way, including your own form, our brother. And we will always be one, as we move with the flow of life. Namaste.
