The Now: The Source of Life

JANU:     We are exploring the Now, its nature. We are speaking here of life patterns of the past, life patterns to be, and the source of them. Enriching life comes through living it and its many realities. The past, to some measure, is known. The future is anticipated, based upon these and intuition of potential. The NOW reality is the eternal presence of life as a creator. Identifying with the past or the future is a limitation, with purpose. The Now reality in consciousness is freer than this. It is flowing with life in its motion of expression.

There is life more basic than past and future. It is more causal than even present. Source is a better word than Now. The physical universe has a source reality that transcends past and future, more causal. The past and future are expressions of it. Thinking of exploring the reality of the coexistence of the past and the future liberates one from identity with either. They are creations continuing to create.

What is their nature? What continues their reality? What is the source of their vitality? Including your own True Nature. Lingering in this perspective of inquiry awakens consciousness to Source of Life, yet it is omnipresent in all life patterns in motion. It is pure being and it is not well described as “it” for ‘its success’ suggests boundaries and limitations. What is there, we ask, that is not the Source of Life or part of it?

A life expression being conscious as the Source of Life is challenged by identity with any one expression from it. The purpose of the veil, you see, among others. Being conscious as Now liberates. Namaste.

What is awakening?

JANU: Where is the passion, then, to awaken? The joy of discovery, the freedom of understanding, the love of service, the enrichment of life? Awakening is a natural process, available to everyone. “Awakening to what?” many may ask. The Truth of Life, of one’s existence, of relationships, each other and the rest of life.

Awakening brings peace through revelation. It brings harmony to all the systems of life. No longer contradicting each other, but working together in harmony, every one of them evolving. There are systems of life beyond the physical body. Awakening touches them as well. Life without this is like a dream state, full of confusion, contradictions, misrepresentations, misinterpretations. Life can be exhausting, instead of invigorating.

True power is life in motion, evolving. What is the connection, the coexistence of everything? What is the reality? Who are you? What are you? What can you be? Deciding to know is a step on the path of awakening, without preferences in the face of the Truth of Life.

Simple joys, if only for a moment, have far reaching effects. They are a wonderful foundation for awakening. Find them in your own life. Inspire them in others. Namaste.

The role of patience in awakening

JANU:   We are exploring life and its wisdom. The evolution of humanity seldom takes into consideration the evolution of everyone’s True Nature. This is a so-called team effort, with one part more conscious than the other, temporarily. The wisdom of life is continuation in a realization of its potential in so many ways. The journey of the True Nature in the human consciousness is evolving.

The True Nature has the patience the human personality seldom does. It has to learn that, and its merit. The sense of urgency comes from the result of the veil isolating identity to one sojourn. When one compacts attention into limited time, many opportunities go by unnoticed. Life is richer than most realize and coexistence of its elements requires much patience to engage.

Consider carefully impatience and limited identity. Allow awakening of the consciousness, in every direction. So much is omnipresent to be awakened to. No need to create what already exists. Be an explorer of life, as well as an enricher. Namaste.

Mastering change through awakening

JANU:    The realization of the coexistence of challenges and evolution, the flow of life, opens the door to a deeper understanding of co-creation and these challenges to evolution. Awakening affords the opportunity to manage change, challenges, without waiting for the destructive hurdles that can ensue forcing change. So change in harmony with the flow of life is the key, through insight, understanding and acceptance.

The destructive side of challenges is cause and effect, from life patterns that have become fixed. Frequent inquiry into the need for change and the openness to understand it and embrace it is a more peaceful path in the flow of life. Learn the signs, the language of change: encouragements, the insights, and the desire. You are life in motion.

Challenge thoughts and desires of sameness, continuations of any one pattern in life. Become a conscious being in motion, not blindly but with insight and wisdom. Your True Nature is the doorway to achieve this. It is you. Awaken to the larger reality of being. Namaste.

The purpose of this sojourn

JANU:   We are engaging the inquiry: Sojourns and their mission, their purpose, mainly this one.

The scope of possibilities reign supreme. Any one sojourn has a mission of realizing potential, not always a particular outcome but to evolve as a co-creator, to become more conscious, to embrace life. Now, embracing life is not limited to incarnation, but it is part of it and it coexists with the larger Life. Your True Nature has more than one evolutionary journey evolving.

So, when exploring a so-called mission for a sojourn, understand that it’s more than the benefit of humanity, but includes that. Allow the consciousness to expand; identify with more of Life. As your True Nature, own it, so to speak. The frustration will dissipate. Think not in terms of time, only, to evolve. Think more in terms of opportunities, both potentially and present.

The package of life, so to speak, contains more than you know. Be more conscious, in an inclusive way. Find peace in achievement. It is powerful. Harmonious existence clears confusion and apparent contradiction. See all of it as the evolution of Life. Namaste.

Being Life loving itself

JANU:    Pondering the large questions about existence and life can be an avoidance of what is at hand, even though related and coexisting. What guideline, then, influences the focus of attention for the purpose of exploration, understanding, and evolution in consciousness? The true interest of the moment  that one is connected to has to do with purpose. What is the nature of purpose, then, but the manifestation of potential? What is the nature and quality of that potential in the moment? It is to be. And what would you be? The love of life, love as life, life loving its own potential. The motivation of life in motion is to explore itself, to create and realize, not in terms limited to physicality. So focus in the moment on Life loving itself and all that it is, without preference. Namaste.

Elements of a blessing for humanity

JANU:    Assembling the elements of the request for blessing for humanity in the elections, one must assume responsibility for their own contribution. Giving life to these blessings is enhanced by the reality of one’s own concerns for wise outcome. Yet the elements of these blessings are the True Nature’s relationship to each one, each being, each person, for the True Natures are involved with the formation of these blessings. A gathering of the Masters of Life and their collective wisdom.

But one can sense a love for the future in present humanity. This is the true nature of a blessing, for love brings peaceful harmony, coexistence and coordination as well as awakening. Loving change into being inspires these qualities. The words are a beginning, but by no means the ultimate building blocks. A blessing that is real has real love as its source, which is in harmony with love in motion. So, hold humanity in the Light and see it shining in the Natures of each one. Namaste.

The Essential Nature of Life

JANU:   The ‘known address,’ as you might put it, of quantum leaps in understanding is in the heart of the matter that resides in harmony with that which belongs to essential nature. And what is the Essential Nature of everything? That which is Life itself and its nature. We regress into this Essential Nature of Life to understand that any inquiry cannot be made without Essential Nature being influenced by it. This foundation of understanding allows for acceptance of an openness to Life’s response. So, does the dog wag the tail, or does the tail wag the dog? They both wag together as their patterns match and are in harmony.

You request understanding of more of life to explore its reality, its potential, its creation. Your science explores cycles of life, beginnings and endings, transitions, re-formations, restorations, coexistences. The physical universe and its parameters of existence are yet to be fully known or revealed, which is only the doorstep, the stepping stone to other realities. So let us pattern match to the universe. The physical universe is a body of Life, with time and space no longer a limiting point of view.

Is the universe alive? And what does that mean? It’s constantly changing, re-forming, cycles of expression. And what is its source of being, as science explores theoretical beginning and ending? And does this really matter when expressing life, realizing its potential, in whatever cycle it is in?

Exploring life can be a distraction to the moment when one is distracted from being conscious as The NOW.  Essential Nature is a relationship with consciousness and Life, which elongates the Truth of Life into the production, expression of past and future. When contemplating your own existence, what do you discover is its truth? What part of your being can you see as eternal, ever changing?

We explore, in this way, the Larger Life that is one with all of its realities. Being timeless, with no permanent borders, removes frustrations, impatience, attachment, biases, preferences, as your conscious relationship with Life is without struggle. Namaste.

Coexistence and multiple realities

JANU:    Researching life does not suggest the intimacy of a direct experience: intimacy, coexistence, connection, becoming as. Exploring life similarly interpreted. Awakening and becoming is more inclusive. So let us become more of life, as we awaken to it.

Life is timeless, but includes it. It is ongoing but filled with cycles of existence, episodes of expression, creative outcomes, challenges and opportunities. This can describe an individual as well. Understanding your nature is an exploration in a larger identity. Identifying with life is a reality of coexistence. Letting go of one thing to embrace another is movement. A perspective of inclusiveness expands so-called identity into a reality not easy to describe in words. “We are Janu” speaks to this. Elements of consciousness coexisting as one, yet unique expressions of life as well.

Levels of reality are challenging to understand. Faith in their existence keeps the door open.  Not as blind acceptance but with a desire to be more. Allow this understanding to settle in and be revelatory. Namaste.

Experiencing the presence of life

JANU:   Absence of fear opens the door to confidence, commitment, continuation, exploration, understanding and more. Moving forward in this way compresses, to a degree, the gaining of these. The more of life we explore, the more that is owned in terms of relationship, identity, partnership, a mutual reality. Life seeks to know itself as well, so we are life seeking to know itself. Experiencing coexistence, connection, relationship, purpose, evolving realities, the light turns on, so to speak, in so many ways. The more we see and touch, the more we see and touch.

Searching for the origin of life can become a diversion when life is still evolving and revealing the scope of its reality. What is our frame of reference for such searching? Allow that reality to reveal itself according to its wisdom. The question has been registered, with patience.

One indicator of the reality of the life we seek to know is the sense of its presence. Words are left behind for the moment. They get in the way, for their meanings are limited and prejudiced.

Life is like an ocean filled with its expressions such as we. Our connection with everything is the ocean of life we exist in. Namaste.
