Exploring the Richness of Life

, , , ,

JANU: When one experiences the diversity of life, what is there to enjoy, to find joy in, considering the seeming dichotomies? The joy is that life exists and allows the freedom to experience its diversity. The choices to be made are fueled by the desires to discover meaning, solutions: to understand, discover; to gain wisdom; to endure an enriched life; to find peace in the midst of challenge; to awaken to more of life; to find symmetry coexisting with diversity; to live in the moment, the source of everything; to find peace in the Now; to awaken to your Nature; to inspire others by example; to love all of life, including yourself.

Do not identify with challenges, or so-called failures. Let them come and go, and learn from them. Do not get stuck with one footstep on the path. Anticipate the next with wisdom that has been gained. Be the richness of life. Exist to inspire the lifting of consciousness, an opportunity for everyone.  Namaste.

Exploration of meaning: Dance of Life

Dance of Life

, , , , , ,

JANU:  In the Dance of Life, there are many dance routines, many patterns, many styles. They all have their symmetry, their beauty, their movements and flows, their rhythms, their uniquenesses and similarities. The Dance of Life has its reality in many dimensions, and they all coexist, are connected. Physicality is only one form, emotional another, mentality another, philosophy another, inspirational another. The dance is a coming together of expression, desires and understandings, confusions and clarities, of dichotomies and coordinations, of purposes and accomplishments. The dance is a perception of life in motion.

The dominant realm of consciousness has its parameters of existence, of experience and consciousness. Exploring others is a challenging opportunity for diverse and more profound perception. Exploring others can enhance and deepen perceptions of the current one for each consciousness.

The Dance of Life explores intimacy with diverse reality and one’s identity expands. Some fear this for their sanity is founded in familiarity, sameness, and repetition. Diversity of perception transforms stereotypes of understanding, letting go of life patterns that leave one attached to limitations, disturbances, inharmonious patterns of existence limiting the evolution of health and well-being. The Dance of Life is freedom to be. Namaste.

What is spirit?

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , ,

JANU: You ask, “What is spirit?” A term almost best left to the use of the incarnate consciousness, disconnected, in a sense, from the larger reality of life, for even the physical life, you see, is unseen to the five senses. Explored to some degree with physical technology but also explored by those with awakened consciousnesses—clairvoyance and the like.

Now, the True Nature might be categorized in this way but its consciousness embraces so much more. We use the term ‘life’ as a general label to include many realities, but even that is a limitation, for it suggests the possibilities: “What is life and what isn’t?” “What is real and what isn’t?” “What is true and what is false?” Even dichotomies are perceptions posed by parts of life.

You ask, “What is consciousness?” It is awareness by that which is capable of such. Then asking, “Are there any limits to consciousness?” and “What is the nature of unconsciousness? Does it have reality as well?” and “What is the source of consciousness? What is the nature of its existence?” “Is Life itself conscious, or only by virtue of its progeny, its creations?”

Many assumptions are made for the mind to continue to explore. Can a creation react to its creator and, if so, how fully? This is exploring life. Does an answer exist, even potentially, for any inquiry? What is the mind, the consciousness, of an explorer? Do inquiries ever achieve these? Namaste.

Comments Off on Pondering the meaning and purpose of creation

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , ,

JANU: Bringing the Light is a journey of vast proportion. Being conscious as one and part of the Family of Life while incarnate in the Earth is not unique but serves life well. Holding the vigil to lift human consciousness into the future of its potential does honor to that potential.

Why should being the Light be any less justified than the choices of darkness? Challenge and opportunity, two sides of the same coin again, you see. In the Larger Life, what is the enlightened perception of the role of each? Ignorance and its manifestations reveal the need for enlightenment and the fruits of its existence for life to evolve. Both are creations of the one Life.

What lies beyond the dichotomy of ignorance and enlightenment when resolved? Pure being, at-one-ment, and true peace. Co-create wonders yet to come.

Does the creation of the universe have purpose? Let us discover its meaning. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening, Human Potential & the Larger Life

, , , , , ,

JANU: We are continuing with our discourse and development of the elements of awakening. We are best suited for this, due to the fact that there exists within the human consciousness trace memories of the Larger Life and the reasons and choices involved in reincarnating at this time in human history. There is a growing need amongst humanity to more completely realize its potential, indicated by its achievements and growth in understanding and embracing life through service to each other, reinforced by the dichotomy of conflicts, human suffering, and ignorance to opportunities.

We of the Brotherhood of Light persist in integrity of consciousness, true nature, and life’s flow of opportunities to evolve and awaken. Let us restore, then, that which has been set aside as humanity moves towards the realization of its own potential by way of awakening and experience. Opportunities are created by the consciousness and the wisdom that is becoming increasingly ready for fulfillment of potential.

The adventure continues, rich in deed and ownership of integrity. Namaste.

Two sides of the same coin

Comments Off on Two sides of the same coin

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , , , ,

JANU:    Understanding the dichotomy between so-called evil and Life settles the mind and the passions into equilibrium. Negative and positive—two sides of the same coin. Positive builds the neighborhood. Evil is the catalyst for change, paving the way, opening the door to reconstruction, redirection, re-creation. See not these seeming opposites as enemies of each other, preferring one over the other, but pick the middle way with equilibrium between any dichotomies in life. They exhibit range of possibilities. They perpetuate the tension that motivates life in motion. Now, in incarnate physical life, they are perceived in this way. But in the Larger Life their counterpart is understood as part of the flow of life.

Allow the dichotomy. Perceive it in the middle way. Attune to the balance they possess. Choose your involvements with the wisdom of the center way, not preferring one over another. They are part of the tension of life. They create change and opportunity. They refresh each other. The coin exists because of the two sides. Develop thinking and perceiving in this way, about everything. Namaste.

A balanced expression of True Peace

Comments Off on A balanced expression of True Peace

Peace

, , ,

JANU: The peace that exists between the so-called forces of good and evil is a misnomer, for there exists in the contemporary fields of life a pattern of justification that resembles the long-held belief in the epitome of human potential, human destiny, and human heritage. Let us consider then, at long last, the resolution of this in the face of that which tends to be ‘Divinity.’ What this means, exactly, is that the conventions, the norms of the moment in this area of life are woefully lacking in True Peace. What we suggest here is a sense of belonging to, ‘freedom to be’ or ‘freedom to not be.’

The peace we speak of is unmanifest in its potential. There is nothing to prove or disprove. All expressions in life are for exploration, experience, and wisdom. The illusion of consciousness reigns supreme in human destiny and belongs to, is at one with, the flow of life and its realization. Let there be a coming together of the dichotomies of life into a balanced expression of True Peace. Namaste.

The nature of love and life

Comments Off on The nature of love and life

Awakening into Larger Life

, , , ,

JANU:    Part of understanding the nature of life is understanding the nature of love. They are synonymous when understood aright, engaged and experienced. There is a peace that is more profound and everlasting, a love that allows all expressions of being, supporting them evenly, continuously, for they are expressions of Life itself. Becoming one with what some would call the ‘big picture’ of life and all it includes, all the bits and pieces if you will, all of the changes, all of the nuances, all of the evolution. Life is at one with its own reality, the entire universe, one of many, and the reality that universes reside in.

You ask, “What is the nature of love?” It is the Life behind all of this, and its relationship with everything and every no-thing. It is Pure Being. The expressions of love, manifestations, are beyond number, but all connected, all at one. Love allows and supports and is Life in motion.

Awakening to your True Nature opens the door to embracing, for the human mind to grasp, what the True Nature understands and is continuing to evolve into. For your entire being embraces many realities, including its own source. A consciousness of oneness. A consciousness without condemnation, value judgements, preferences, dichotomies, yet includes all of these, for they are part of the evolution of Life through its creations. The Middle Way is a balanced approach to all of life. Namaste.

Owning it all

Comments Off on Owning it all

Awakening into Larger Life

, , , , , ,

JANU:   That is the theme for this journey, owning it all, so to speak. Owning all memories, all experiences, all attitudes, utterances, everything, without denial or regret. Peaceful absorption of the records of life fully enrich the journeyer, reclaiming power and the freedom it brings. Owning it all gives access to it all and the wisdom is revealed. Honesty, integrity, perseverance, clarity, sovereignty: living in this way is grander than the veiled human consciousness, isolated from the Larger Life.

The courage to allow this into your consciousness is a choice made in the presence of your True Nature, which endorses this choice. Denial of the truth gives your power away, strains your integrity, delays realization and wisdom-gaining. Life includes everything, our brother, the bliss, the joy, the sorrow and the sadness. Owning it all sets one free.

You ask of the Middle Way. The Middle Way does not avoid the dichotomies of life but owns them all, for all of them are part of life.

Claim your power by owning all of your experiences. Namaste.

Motivations and the Middle Way

Comments Off on Motivations and the Middle Way

Awakening into Larger Life

, , ,

JANU: We are surveying, if you will, the climate for aggressive behavior on the parts of individuals and nations. What we see here is a climate that reflects the struggle that is occurring in the consciousnesses of these between survival, in terms of power, and a global sense of community and service. The power struggle is individually motivated, oftentimes amassing others who align with this to further their cause, you see. Global motivation and identity does not glamorize the individual. The struggle between power and the illusion of power, you see—true power and apparent power—they have many faces. What is power, then, but an expression of the creative reality.

Co-creators create in different ways, you see, different motivations. Self-centered and self-less consciousness is the dichotomy. The Middle Way includes both and brings balance to any dichotomy. The Middle Way is not against the dichotomy, but unifies it into a larger truth, a truth that endures and evolves. Grand is the consciousness that can embrace a dichotomy in this way. An example is the destructive and creative nature of the universe. In the larger understanding, seen as recycling, re-creating, re-inventing, release and embrace.

This principle can be applied to an individual life or a sojourn. “Where are the examples?” you ask. They are those that live in peace yet embrace society and grow in their understanding and compassion for the countless life expressions, those who do not live in fear, and recognize the illusion of power and true power. A worthy study is motivation. A complex understanding, for many have a mixture of these and they change. The Middle Way is open to understanding all of these, beginning with your own. Namaste.
