Awakening questions

JANU: Awakening is the pursuit here, is the theme. The goal of awakening is to be conscious. And, then, conscious of what? And, once conscious, then what? What does it serve?

Is it not life becoming conscious of itself, self-aware and realizing the fullness of potential? Always becoming something more.

What is all this thrust to expand, to grow, to evolve, to mature, to create, to experience, to understand, to be? What is behind all of this? And what is its destiny?

Is there a reality aside from all of this?

What makes the question profound, or an answer profound?

Is there a reality other than life?

Is cause and effect always the case?

What is the nature of everything?

What is reality?

What is the full range of the nature of love?

And what is true peace?

What binds the coexistence of dimensions, subtle realities?

And what is the source of these questions?

The True Nature and identity

JANU:    What we are moving into here is the beginning of a perception of the reality of True Nature: focused consciousness, free to focus on any reality, coexisting with universal consciousness simultaneously. When relating to and understanding those who cherish identity, realize that it is a form of coexistence that includes the veil. What can be achieved here is relationship with life that no longer needs it but is still free to choose it. So identity, you see, is a form of focus, but when it consciously coexists with the Larger Life, one is no longer limited in that way. Eventually, intimacy with life as being one’s own Nature ensues, which leads to an intimacy of being the Family of Life. This is part of ‘being at peace.’ Time and distance no longer define your consciousness. Namaste.

Living blissfully

JANU: Wholly without rest is the pursuance of integrity, consciousness, desire to know, creativity, peace, engagement through service and enrichment, understanding the nature of Life itself, its motivation to continue and evolve, the evolution of its potential, the coexistence of countless realities, the freedom to be. Rest does not mean the absence of any of this, but the harmonious existence and relationship of it all, even though always in motion, changing, re-creating. Even in restful sleep of the body, all systems are rejuvenating, realigning, rebalancing, renewing.

Peace and rest are active elements of life and exist always. Even during the waking hours, peace and rest coexist with the systems of life. Some call this ‘bliss.’ Living blissfully is profitable. Attune to, align with, blissful peaceful existence within the systems of your being, alert and conscious, gaining wisdom through experience and insight. Namaste.

The True Nature and the Larger Life

JANU:   Organization as such has an interesting relationship with the Larger Life where everything co-exists with its own potential and destiny. The conscious physical mind has a tendency towards structure, priorities, empirical data, order, sequence. But there is more to reality than that, meaning that limiting your perceptions and experiences to that framework is limited.

What of more unlimited reality? How does one relate to that, find meaning, sensibility, and productive experience? One does so by being conscious, in conscious harmony with the Nature of their being that exists in this way. The larger individual reality is not limited to time/space but co-exists with it, allowing for expansion of experience and consciousness to the incarnate awareness. When exercised, perception of light, being, and presence becomes more fluid, more co-existent, more interactive, more layers of relationship. Even time and distance no longer limit, for life is larger than these but includes them.

So awakening, you see, is in addition to current incarnate consciousness, not taking the place of it but adding to it. So, the human consciousness co-mingles with the Larger Life, giving more depth and perspective to incarnate existence. Realize, then, that consciousness beyond incarnate life, before and after, is not so limited but is, in fact, who you are. Awakening has always been available to the incarnate experience, but has not always been known of as reality, as present, as coexisting with the human experience.

Life is vast, diverse, evolving, powerful, coexistent, relateable. The limited incarnate experience need not remain limited. That was a choice agreed to by your own being when incarnating. A temporary experience. The incarnate journey is full of wonder and discovery. The Larger Life journey is so much more and brings adventure to the incarnate life.

Your journey into awakening is wisely directed by your True Nature. What has your interest cared for more fully than the rest of who you are? From that conscious connection and reality, explore the rest of life, including the physical one. Namaste.

Understanding motivations

JANU: What motivates exploration into the nature of being, the nature of existence, the nature of the life being experienced?  What motivates sharing, being part of a group, being an expression of life? What are the sources of motivation? Is there an agenda? Are these motivations conscious decisions? Why do they vary in intensity and compulsion? Can they coexist with being at peace? What is the relationship of motivations between people? What motivates complacency? And the strong desire to discover? Namaste.

Adding the Larger Life to the incarnate life

JANU:  The elements of life of a sojourn are not preordained but subject to life patterns that have been created, innate potential based on many factors. The decision, the commitment to incarnate belongs to the tried and true desire to explore.

This plane of existence called ‘third dimensional’ is one of many, but wisdom gained while incarnate is unique to that reality. Therefore, the desire to evolve, expand the wisdom of the True Nature makes incarnation interesting. The goals are not set in stone. The opportunities and challenges vary. Choice pervades everything. Where is discovery when all is known in advance? So see each day as having possibilities to be explored.

Yes, the Larger Life coexists but it is only separate from third dimensional reality by the perception of physical identity. Even though the five senses dominate perception, the larger consciousness still coexists and is knowable. As one explores incarnate life, endeavor to make wise choices. Attune to the larger You to assist. One is never truly alone for there is far more of ‘who you are’ than many know. Be encouraged by the love of your True Nature, its wisdom, its patience, its oneness with the rest of life, because it is who you are. Namaste.

Enrichment

JANU:   Enrichment is a worthy subject, a worthy endeavor, a worthy accomplishment, a worthy consciousness, and a worthy legacy. What does it mean, then, for something to be enriched: your own consciousness, your life patterns, your relationship with others, the experience of others, the world you live in, the life you serve?

Realizing your potential in harmony with the flow of life brings a radiance, a glow to your life patterns that touches those of others, for the connection between all realities is understood by their coexistence, their oneness. Making enrichment a personal goal and path of enlightenment brings balance to the physical body and the energetic bodies, a sense of peace and order, of confidence and continuation and evolution. Enrichment brings joy. It fulfills the need to become more conscious, to discover realities, and to understand the beauty and function of life.

Enrich each moment with purpose, with wonder, with discovery. Radiate the garment of your being, enriched with the light of truth, presence, and love. Everything is as it should be and evolving, changing, in motion. Rejuvenate through the power of true peace, without regret, frustration, or any sense of loss. Moving forward, fulfilling all you can be. Namaste.

Reality and discernment

JANU: Reality is in the perception of the beholder. What is real and what isn’t for any individual or group? Perceptions of reality are based on so many elements of experience and impressions. And what inspires perceptions of reality to evolve into larger truths? Moments of inspiration, open-minded consideration of possibilities, a moment of Light shining briefly into the conscious mind by way of the True Nature, which also draws upon the Larger Life.

Perception of reality calls upon individual faculties of discernment, a knowingness from within. The reality one perceives outside of themselves is in their world of the five senses. They are part of that world and their reality is limited to it, as long as only the five senses are involved. Each individual has within them a larger Nature with access to larger realities, the nature of their existence. This does not diminish in any way the merit and practicality of the physical world, for it is coexisting with the Larger Life. The opportunity is to be conscious of more and more of what is. The relationships take on more depth, layers of meaning and expression. And one slowly experiences the reality of association with others.

Choosing, committing to the integrity of one’s own True Nature, as one proceeds to discover and embrace the Larger Life, brings focus to, integrity to the experiences to come. Namaste.

Together we are strong, no matter what

JANU: Supposing for a moment that the rest of humanity were fully awakened to their True Nature. What would life be like, in incarnate life? Yes, there would be peace, for a while, but then dissatisfaction would arise at the lack of struggle, the lack of challenge, the lack of the mystery of life in terms of co-creating. Manifesting your needs without building anything does not foster wisdom through experience. Where would be the diversity of incarnate exploration, the discovery of why life functions as it does and the grander functions that can exist?

The veil does not produce disharmony. The veil only blocks memory. The veil demonstrates the reason for conscious union, the coming together, the coexistence, the quest for collaboration, and the understanding through experience of disharmony. So, you see, from one point of view, awakening as a goal is not the only magic in life. It is one path of many, and all paths of overcoming challenge, of different destinies are part of the richness of life.

So, as you look about you at the whole gambit of society, individual and collectively, the magic of this is that it compounds discovery, continuation, fulfillment of wonder. Not something to be eliminated but to be realized. Awakening, then, to be seen in a different way: the diverse fulfillment of life’s potential. That is the magic and the beauty of living. Even though not conscious fully of all the Larger Life, all of life is one and cherished.

The True Nature cannot be lost. The expressions of potential in any realm come and go, but the wisdom, the magic, the beauty of life flourishes. Inspire others and yourself to be successful no matter the interest or endeavor. And what does success mean? It means fulfilling potential, potential of wisdom gaining, enriching life, diversity. Together we are strong, no matter what.

Coexistence, a key element of awakening

JANU: The coexistence of Life and its elements is a theme of understanding that is central to awakening to the Larger Life. The human mind, dealing with life behind the veil, is not conscious in this way. A major change in consciousness through awakening is this understanding that all of life coexists. Unique properties existing all through the body of life, each with their own integrity but each coexisting with each other. This is the beginning understanding of the nature of life and the nature of your own existence.

In this larger way of consciousness, there are no secrets, but there are protocols of engagement in order for integrities to be maintained and evolve. Life loves all of its existence, loves itself, you might say. Each one awakening moves in this direction as well, loving all that they are. Peace is experienced without regrets, disappointments, frustrations, or sense of lack. These are some of the elements of ignorance, where in this nature of each one there is so much more to be discovered, realized, and evolved. Coexistence, then, is a theme of exploration, even when exploring one’s own nature. A good place to begin, you see. Namaste.
