Moving from denial to the Light

JANU: Belligerence on the part of so many is the denial of ignorance to the True Nature, for even ignorance has a sense of identity and presence. But the True Nature ultimately wins, because it is the source of the consciousness in the incarnate life that chooses denial. Denial is based in fear, fear of loss of existence, of power and control. Moving from finite consciousness and denial to the limitlessness of the larger truth of being draws upon innate qualities and character, but once begun builds on its larger potential, power, and presence. And the darkness sees the Light.

This basic theme of understanding is a beginning to awakening. Awakening into the Light, which is the truth of life, the truth of being, and the truth of your nature. No longer a divided consciousness, each division seeking its own authority separate from each other. Together, as one, we are strong. Namaste.

The conscious emergence of the True Nature

JANU:   Emergence is that which dominates in the quest of many for a better life, for happiness and peace, for understanding, for enlightenment. The emergence of the True Nature, consciously, into the human experience, otherwise called awakening. Now, the desire for this is not the human ego alone, but the whole Nature. It always has been. Understand that this quest for emergence has always been present, since the beginning.

Loving the experience into the consciousness is a key to realization. Human consciousness tends to perceive their circumstance is initiated, controlled, changed, modified, developed solely by the human ego and consciousness. This is only part of the story, you see. The True Nature is the overseer, the initiator, the realizer, the potential for a structured existence and evolution. Loving your True Nature is loving who you are. And who you are loves the human consciousness as well.

So, awakening, you see, is a normal reality but not common yet. Not to the point of being conscious of it by most. Everything in your existence, your experience, is enhanced by awakening in a manner that goes hand in hand with your particular evolution in consciousness. Allow yourself to perceive life as it is, as it can be, as it was, as clearly and fully as your current perceptions allow.

Add consciousness to your human experience. Love it into ownership. Find peace, wonderment, joy, the thrill of discovery, anticipation of more, the fulfillment of all desire for a fuller life, which includes enriching life. Enrich each other by way of this. Be patient but engaged. Dream always of a larger life, a deeper life, a more meaningful one. Namaste.

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.

Consciousness as all that you are

JANU: Coexistence, then, means just that. The veil gives the illusion or impression that incarnate life and the Larger Life, the True Nature, are separated in some way. They are not. You exist holistically while an incarnation is an added dimension or element of experience and consciousness. One does not need to leave the body to exist spiritually. One already does. Most are not conscious of this, and this is why awakening serves you.

As the veil dissipates, one’s identity expands to include all that they are. That includes incarnate consciousness as well. The beauty of this journey is the destiny that unfolds. A complete consciousness as all that you are deepens and broadens not just the understanding of existence, but the embrace and experience of relationship with more of life. Awakening is natural, individual, liberating, empowering.

Life ‘as it is’ is life as you are. One does not have to create what one already is. Just become conscious of it and live life in a larger way. When one loves oneself as they are, it is natural to love others as they are, free to enjoy the journey of destiny supported by one’s potential. And even that evolves, you see. Life is rich, and so are you.

Stay in motion with a fluid consciousness

JANU: Exactitude is an imprecise reality, for the nature of life is flexibility, interaction, diversity, randomness and order as an experiment in determination. So, the call to attend to life and its situations is fluid at best. As the wind is constantly changing direction, and going in multiple directions at the same time, so are life movements. Circumstances come and go, as do eddies in the stream.

So hanging on to any moment in the life for any reason flies in the face of flow. Change is constant. Life continuation is constant. Remain in motion. Remain flowing. Otherwise, the most productive and natural involvements can be missed. Trust in the wisdom of life, the omnipresent intelligence, the moment by moment consciousness, grateful, of course, for every experience. Stay in motion with a fluid consciousness. Namaste.

The joy of exploring the Larger Life

JANU: This life you have reviewed, of the one called Shivapuri Baba,* is a wonderful example of being at peace and growing in consciousness, absorbing wisdom beyond one lifetime, but also serving humanity by giving counsel to others from around the world who visited his hovel in India. Still vital and relevant and conscious at 117 years old. A life committed to, dedicated to expanding his consciousness in the direction of his potential and the Larger Life. Journeyed on foot for thousands of miles to visit leaders in different countries, obtaining private counsel time where others were not invited.

Each one has the potential for wondrous journeys. Choice, commitment, dedication, sincerity, and the joy of discovery and sharing with others is available to everyone. Life is rich beyond imagination, just waiting to be explored. Time and space is not a limitation to journeys in consciousness and direct experience, although time and space are part of the larger reality of life.

Follow no one. Learn from each other. And choose the direct path within to explore all of life. Find peace in this, not understood by many or experienced but, more than this, embrace the wonders life offers. Namaste.

Choose to see the good works of people

JANU:   A cautionary tale. Condemn no one, for that throttles the spirit. Not only of the one that is condemned, but of the condemner as well. Hold the light for those who contribute to the raising of human consciousness. They are legion, but only a few find notoriety. Many serve in silence.

As opportunity presents itself, choose wisely what your attention is upon. Support the spirit in each one. Yes, even in Atlanta and the like. Even without the larger view of life, many continue to serve and care for each other. The focus of their attention on living and relating is the window of opportunity for insight of the higher nature. There is magic everywhere. Choose to see it.

When you benefit from the sacrifice of another, a great lesson is learned, not soon forgotten. And the beneficiary tends to continue the blessing. Kindness is more difficult to see, for it is seldom boasted about. But it is not lost on the recipient. The good works of humanity are more silent than boisterous. Be not fooled by the news broadcasters. They sell sensationalism and fear.

Yes, the incarnate life is challenging, the seeming hodgepodge of conflicts, confusion, fear, and avarice, but it is part of Life. And Life supports its evolution with incredible patience, understanding, and love.

Ponder these things. Plumb their depths. Be encouraged. Namaste.

Energy

JANU:    Energy, then, being the theme for this morning’s discussion, is a fundamental principle of life in all creations, every level of reality. For most reality has structure, which are the properties of energy, but there are many forms of structure and energy realities. Yes, we agree. There is life, there is that which lies beyond energy, as we have said, that which creates energy but does not use it. And that which lies beyond that.

But to understand life expression through the energy creations, it is essential to open the consciousness to fundamental reality of the nature of everything. The physical body, which so many identify with, and the physical existence of their environment have a nature of energy.

“What then is energy?” you ask. It is life force with, as we say, parameters of existence, of expression, that creates structure as opportunity for relationships, patterns, cycles of expression. The body and its components one of many.

But, as we have said, life is in motion. Everything changes, whether the physical faculties of perception can detect these rates of change or not. Experiments with visual perception demonstrate that color exists beyond the physical capability of the eyes, which you have seen, so to speak. All of the physical senses have their limits in the presence of life expression that is well beyond their capabilities. Your own identity is part of this.

The consciousness is not limited to physical reality. Exists in it and beyond it. The veil makes this difficult to perceive but it is a temporary limitation. It is a protocol of incarnate life, created by the incarnating entity. It can be uncreated through discipline and the evolution of maturity.

The entire physical body is composed of atoms, particles of energy with their own parameters of existence, science having demonstrated that they come and go, seemingly out of nowhere. Which means that your human identity is not who you are; it is what you are doing. But begs the question “who’s the ‘you’ doing this?” How conscious are you of who you are, in the larger sense?

This is why it is possible to roam the physical universe, move through time and space, yes, even into the potential of the future, gaining insights and understanding and experience. Energy is the vehicle for all of these structures of life. So, in this sense, everything is connected to everything, on one level or another.

Explore energy and its reality, even the energies you’ve yet to understand or observe. Remember, whatever your attention is on, you are connected to. Become more aware of these possibilities. Explore the life that you are and its connection with everything. Namaste.

Being in the flow of life

JANU: What is the flow of life, then, but life in motion? With eddies and currents and protuberances, seeming reversals, creations, re-creations, change. What then of ‘being in the flow’ in a moment of challenge, which is an opportunity in disguise? The flow we refer to at this time is that which occurs throughout the total being while your life is in motion. Your understanding is changing, evolving, growing.

So it is in group work. Being in the flow of the moment, being rigid about nothing, being spontaneous, centered in the Truth of Life, whether yours or that of another. Questions, responses, exchange of ideas and experiences. Possibilities to be explored, manifested, and observed. Being in the flow with others is a relationship between each one’s flow of life. There is wisdom everywhere, in countless forms. Each one has a story to tell, questions to ask, wonderings and experiences. Honor this in each other and when conscious of the larger flow of life that includes the consciousness of discarnate beings as well and the archives of life.

The flow of life is everything in motion, coexisting, relating, evolving. See through these eyes as you speak and as you listen. Namaste.

The nature of existence

JANU: The nature of existence is a worthy focus. There is the minutia and the overview, and they coexist as one. The nature of existence is ‘being.’ The significance of life is even beyond its manifestations, not usually grasped by individual human consciousness. But how does one relate the evidence of existence from incarnate perception to that which is more encompassing? For the microscopic, you see, is by comparison part of the whole and there is purpose in everything, whether manifested or not.

“What is the nature of existence?” is a key question in awakening. The union of coexistence does not blend purpose to the point of eliminating individuality, for even the atom has purpose, each one as part of the Larger Life. All components, all elements of existence are connected. The nature of existence and all of its components coexist and are part of each other. Realizing this, between people and their human egos, is challenging. For that which is not physical, you see, exists; that which is beyond energy exists.

“What is the reality,” you ask, “of non-existence?” “Is there beginning of life or has it always been?” These types of questions open the consciousness to larger understanding without prejudice or preconception. Use every challenge as an opportunity to ask a larger question, putting all of life in perspective. Having a question of this nature does not mean one is identified as ignorant of life. All consciousnesses, you see, ask questions, are awakening. Part of the nature of the Family of Life. You’re among good company.

Many fear for their physical existence, unaware of their larger nature that continues on, long before and long after incarnation, and it coexists as well with the human journey. Identify with life, which you are. Namaste.
