Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, consciousness, peace, Service

JANU: We are entertaining again the invisible servers called upon by the activity of those consciousnesses that serve in the tradition of awakening. These beings are so at-one with the flow of the evolving life as to be transparent, so to speak, with their presence. Think not of these as a group of beings in a location but consciousnesses of like purpose throughout life. Their reality is not described by time/space, only their tradition of service and their oneness with those who serve. In this reality there is no such thing as small or large significance in service. Those who provide selfless service, even wars, do not ennoble the war, only that that lives in the consciousness of those who serve.

Lifting the consciousness of another, serving the liberation of their spirit lifts all of humanity, our brother, and does not end with one occasion. Child or elderly, rich or poor, this is the true power of life. As you consider every endeavor, every station in life, lifting consciousness brings a measure of freedom to everyone in one way or another. Be involved with the liberation of the human spirit. Nurture the reality of peace and life responds. Namaste, our brother.

Expanding understanding of who you are

Comments Off on Expanding understanding of who you are

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, consciousness, identity, memories, perspective, sanity, the veil

JANU: Many are longing to know who they are, more than this human identification. What is intrinsic about their nature? What possibilities await them in their own creativity and understanding? The physical lineage is only part of the story, even though their ancestry has varied. It is not who they are, but mostly physical influences, genetics. Good information but not completely satisfying.

Scanning the True Nature for the larger identity leads to remembering your origins and experiences. The physical body is not who you are. It is what you are doing, to a degree. You are more than that and your existence is more than that. These journeys of understanding are only part of the picture, you see, but they begin to provide answers to your questions of who you are.

The challenge and the opportunity is not to hang on to the human identity so tightly you can’t change your perspective to more of your True Nature. Accomplishing this while maintaining balance and sanity, reasonableness, and peace of mind is part of the reason for so many elements to these journeys that build the foundation for success. The human experience takes on patterns of consciousness that must evolve into something more open and engaging larger realities of life and of your nature. The human identity experience is part of a larger truth of your being. Not to be discarded or ignored, but to be merged with a broader and deeper perspective.

The dropping of the veil, so to speak, is very important and serves a purpose. As is awakening. Continue to ask the question: Who am I? Then, listen for elements of understanding, here and there, now and then, remembering the journey of awakening as you gradually realize your answer. Realize the truth of who you are. A miraculous journey. Namaste.

Comments Off on Examples of awakening

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, connection with life, consciousness, inspiration

JANU: Examples of awakening come to the fore when presenting the reality of this path of evolving consciousness.

An early example is the recognition of familiarity with another, without knowing why.
Another is the ‘déjà vu’ experience, of which there are many examples.
Another example is a moment of peace or joy, of happiness for no apparent reason.
Another is profound peace.
Another is understanding something you or another are curious about, seemingly out of the blue.
For some, it is praying for another in their time of need and they find themselves blessed with remedy, with recovery, with a healing.
Simple solutions to complex problems is another.
Knowing the thoughts and perceptions of another living creature, whether human or not, is another.
Communicating with your True Nature through the sharing of thoughts and energies.
Insights into living from old memories of previous life is another. Memories of existences, whether of the Earth or other worlds, with clarity, even if only for a moment, is awakening.
Moving objects without effort is another.
Loving a plant and watching it respond, loving any creature and having it draw nearer to you is life speaking to life.
Loving something into being reveals creativity and life responding.

Connection, oneness, service, the love that binds life, examples of awakening are everywhere, our brother. Choose to notice them. They will build your confidence and transform your life. Each one holds the promise of something more to discover. You are a living miracle. Choose to discover why. Namaste.

Freedom from doubt and confusion

Comments Off on Freedom from doubt and confusion

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, consciousness, freedom, patterns, the veil

JANU: Being unencumbered by doubt and misgivings adds to the strength of awakening. As you associate and collaborate with the larger family of life, be aware of this and gain confidence by observing the enthusiasm and commitment that they project.

Awakening from the human condition is challenging. The patterns of veiled experience, or existence, seem set in stone, if you will. Re-patterning is part of this change. Experience creates patterning in the first place; however, as you awaken you will recall and have experiences from before and from beyond. These journeys can seem sporadic at times, but old patterns of consciousness can obstruct. Choose then, our brother, the moments of success in your life, including these journeys, and re-pattern or build upon these experiences. Be open to the reality that all of this has been accomplished before and that life is a continuous experience of challenge, opportunity, and success. Focus upon past achievements and their presence in the memory of your being.

We journey as one, our brother. No need to be initiated by another lifestream, another being, but by your own True Nature, which is who you are. Journeys are taken in cooperation with others, but you are the captain of your ship, so to speak, and decisions are yours. Choose to think and feel, perceive, as a unified being, with all faculties in the mix, if you will.

The veil can cause one to think that ‘awakening’ is for the first time. It is not. It just seems that way. The total you knows otherwise. Identify more and more as who you are. This is true for everyone, to varying degrees. You are more than you know, and your True Nature knows this. Always return to this larger knowing where you find freedom from doubt and confusion. Namaste, our brother.

Our choices touch each other’s lives

Comments Off on Our choices touch each other’s lives

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, choices, connection to life, consciousness

JANU: Pleasantries aside, let us focus upon, deliberate upon what some might call crucial elements or events in the awakening of humanity. There arise from time to time opportunities, some call choices, that influence the direction of a path undertaken. While humanity’s path of awakening is filled with such, this current American election cycle, to some degree, is one such. The issue, then, our brother, is not so much the candidates involved but the wisdom of the populace, the people they are intended to serve.

The process of awakening is not a sterile one, you see. It is rich with pivotal choices dependent upon inner values that draw upon the True Nature, whether conscious of it or not. In this instance, it’s the electorate and the wisdom of their desires for their future. And this decision-making is not just an influence on this nation, but the hopes and dreams of many looking for a better life around the world.

Decision-making, our brother, is never just for an individual, but for the lives an individual touches. We talk of the Family of Life, more real than you might suppose. Now this perception is not meant to stifle decision-making, but to temper it, to deepen considerations. A moment of pause for reflection. Now, as with any decision, our brother, and course chosen, corrections can be made, adjustments, modifications. But the need for these is greatly influenced by the wisdom of the choice to begin with.

This current election cycle is a test for the maturity of human consciousness for this nation. Make no mistake. Other nations want to influence the decision for their own benefit. This demonstrates the connection that we speak of.

So you see, our brother, awakening is a path not taken alone, but touches the lives of others. Everything is connected. Being conscious of this reality is part of the path, you see. The larger life exists, whether aware of it or not. So, when making choices, take a moment. Consider the impact or the influence your choices make. Make a decision and move on. Nothing is permanent, but everything matters. This view of life will serve you well as you touch the lives of others, and they touch yours. Namaste, our brother.

Absorbing the journey of awakening

Comments Off on Absorbing the journey of awakening

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, connection with life, consciousness, identity, the Now, the True Nature

JANU: We are beginning then to absorb what it means to be fully conscious. The incarnate concerns of past and future, confusing present, give way to the reality of the Now, which includes all of these.

Let us take a moment to be conscious, be aware of, to have a connection with Life itself. Searching for the truth of anything is a daunting task for the unawakened mind. For the conscious one, it is still a process without focus, allowing, and attention. At times, it is like watching a movie screen without the screen. Connection can be selective and measured. There is a timelessness to being. What you are aware of follows your interests. Memory is experienced more fully, more completely. Associations have an intimacy that is natural. And, yes, there are realities of existence that emerge.

For some, the awakening experience is challenging, realizing that you are well known and always have been. You are not a stranger entering a room for the first time. And you are aware of, you know these who know you. There is a familiarity of returning home, so to speak. No longer experiencing your True Nature as something separate but the identity of inclusiveness in all that you are and have been which you become accustomed to, once more. You are delighted at how rich life is and this physicality no longer confines you to the parameters of that existence, yet the memory remains.

Many changes yet to come, our brother, as we continue. Namaste.

True Power

Comments Off on True Power

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, consciousness, integrity, peace, power

JANU: The next in this series on Associations and Collaborations has to do with the diminishing power of circumstance, external influences, over the growing power of consciousness, of being. This would seem a trade-off, undesirable by many who bask themselves in the illusions of their power, the power of their influences over others. It begs the question, “What is the nature of power? Is there more than one concept of power?”

When dealing with others in circumstances and relationships human, there is a tendency, a component, of the thoughts and attitudes of having advantage as the result of a relationship, of gaining some kind of power. In the larger life, one has little need of this, in fact, no need, for the reality of power exists within the being, in harmony with the power of the flow of life, its expansive reality, all pervasive presence, and the reality of being one with everything. What physical or human perception of power is of more value? It depends upon the scope and nature of your world, what you have chosen.

When engaging, exploring the larger life, these are not your concerns. Your desire is to understand, be part of in a positive way the vitality and expansion of life, the continuation, the evolution, the enrichment. This power, our brother, is the epitome of peace. No fear of laws as with the human perception. No fear of disadvantage. In fact, concern is for the well-being and enrichment of the rest of life, other beings, other consciousnesses. For you live a life where all of these are part of you.

The purpose of this morning’s journey is the development of a consciousness that intertwines beautifully with this larger reality, and realities of life yet to be imagined. Many speak of love and its many interpretations. The love we speak of includes all and allows all life to be. It finds value in everything, for it is part of everything and, through this, you are as well.

Learn of, understand, embrace, and be True Power. The human misinterpretation or illusion of power is part of this larger life as well, but it is limited. You are moving beyond these limitations, rejecting nothing, embracing everything with your own true integrity and True Nature. Stand in your truth and love all of life, allowing that peace to grow within you. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Awakening 38: Becoming more aware

Comments Off on Awakening 38: Becoming more aware

Awakening: a series

awakening, consciousness, freedom, reality, the veil

JANU: We are welcoming this day the coming of attuning to the larger you and the larger life. Consciousness is to be aware of. What we reach for here is awareness. What is that magical transition from unaware to aware? It is opening your consciousness to possibilities, to what is and, through that, to what will be.

Deep within each one there is life, a reality that is connected, that is part of, that is the rest of your consciousness and your being. That is the magical moment of awakening: being aware of the life and the source of who and what you think you are. No need to imagine the reality of this, only to allow it, to bring its presence into your awareness. You are not creating this reality; it already is.

At first, there is a sense that there is something more than what you have known. You can’t describe it or touch it or define it but you know it’s there. With patience, love it into your life. Welcome it and understand that this is a journey home. Quite the opposite of something to fear because it seems unknown. It is a welcoming presence. Rather than it has been separate from your consciousness, you have been separate from the rest of you. Finally, you experience being loved, understood, forgiven, welcome. And, in time, as it unfolds, you understand your human life from that perspective, through those eyes so to speak, through that consciousness.

There is freedom beyond words, freedom to know and touch any part of life and to be touched by it. Your desire to know life, the truth of everything, is set free. Even incarnating, our brother, is a desire and a choice. But engaging realities of life, such as incarnation, physicality, is only one of countless opportunities to touch everything, every truth. And even awakening evolves, for life is ever changing, expanding, deepening, enriched, as are you.

Allow your consciousness to experience this presence in your life. This does not mean the end of your incarnate journey. That is choice as well, you see. And, yes, there are many aware of your awakening, of your awareness, and your presence. This is not only a private journey. That perception is the result of the veil, which is lifting. Allow awareness into your life. Namaste.

Overcoming barriers in consciousness

Comments Off on Overcoming barriers in consciousness

Personal Attunements

challenges, channeling, choices, consciousness, freedom

This is a question from a conversation with an individual, responded to by Janu and the Brotherhood of Light, and presented here to provide a more personal connection to these journeys. The response given is directed to that particular individual, but also seemed of benefit to all seekers. It is presented for research purposes only. For more of this particular conversation, see Healing, past lives, Kuthumi

Q: I feel as though there’s a barrier between me and the conscious awareness of what you speak of that is within me. And I still feel the need of something to dissolve or remove this barrier. Is there any technique or any method that you can suggest that would help me to get rid of this feeling or to access this knowledge that you say is within me on a conscious level.

JANU: Simple put, dear one, but profound in its nature and the true path towards what you seek. And that is: to acknowledge the barrier and love it with all your heart. Own the barrier, for in truth, dear one, it is of your own making. No part of life, in its truth, denies you access. None. Any denial or barrier is of your own making and for a purpose. Own the reason for it, and the experience of it, and love your way through it by resolving it in this way. This has always been the case and the truth for any seeming obstacle of your desire. Spend time with this, not in frustration, not in struggle, not in forced determination, but in your acceptance of love that barrier is a divine creation of yours. You had reason for this, dear one, as each does. Accept the purpose of it. Command it. And when you no longer have need of it, through the mastery of its wisdom, it will cease to be. This is the direction for mastering any such experience.

Once again we restate: no system of thought or practice can own your own creations. Only you can do this, dear one. It is a natural command of life. You commanded its beginning. By the same authority, as its creator, you command its resolution. This is mastership, dear one. And it is your path.

Warmth in communication

Comments Off on Warmth in communication

Nature of Life

communication, connection with life, consciousness, wisdom

JANU: Let there be known that your interest in enlightened communication carries with it a sensitivity to a balanced completeness. And, as you have noticed, one element of this in the presence of wisdom and intelligence is a warmth beyond the words. Underlying the words, a presence of love beyond words.

When exploring life, be aware of this quality intertwined with the wisdom, the information if you will. This speaks clearly of a pure consciousness at one with the truth and at one with you. Intellectuality without this has a coldness to it and only reaches your intellect, but you are far more than that and so is life. This quality is of value to be part of your relationship with others. This is the quality that truly connects one with another, beyond the words. It opens receptivity and trust.

This is the genius of life behind the wisdom and the power. It is the nature of life and of peace. Namaste.
