Self-government

JANU:   Consciousness and self-government. There seems to be trepidation to admitting to the reality of conscience. What do you do with it? How do you apply it? How do you recognize it? How do you understand it? What do you compare it to, if anything? What is its source? Is it reliable? The answers to these, and others, is that it is a journey of exploration, experimentation, application, and focusing attention.

There lives within each one memory and True Nature. Not just of this lifetime, but many. And life not incarnate. Associations with countless others. The experience that challenges time. Discovery of the results of many situations, opportunities, shortcomings and those of others. Much to be learned and used wisely to move along the path of life and example.

There is merit in deciding to know the truth, cause and results, potentials, capabilities. All are in motion. Focusing one’s attention upon the Truth of Life is a great revealer. Decisions based upon these realities have outcomes that are rewarding, as all are when understood. The journey, the walk of life, has unlimited potential. Taking chances based upon best knowledge, best experience, is life in motion. Your True Nature performs well with a living partner, a conscious partner, a continuous partner.

Wonder about opportunities. Contemplate them. Make best decisions and walk those paths to see what happens. Be inspired. Learn from everything. Pause when wise to do so, move with the same wisdom.

These journeys benefit all of life, in one way or another, because all of life is connected. Allow these benefits to blossom where they may, as they may, for as long as they may but do not require them to do so. Be what you can be. Listen more than you speak. Choose your moments as they are offered. Be at peace. Namaste.

Loving the moment

JANU: We are holding sway once more for the benefit of life itself, all of life. We embark once more on this endless journey, discovering the nature of life and all that it brings, appreciating what is, what has been, and what will be. Every understanding can be extended, enriched, and become a blessing. Life is loved, appreciated, enjoyed, valued no matter the degree or focus or contribution. Living in the moment is the richest of all. Everything else is supportive, but the moment is the proof, is what continues, is what expands, what feeds everything. The realization of potential is the mystery, the source of wonder, the magic. Wisdom from experience brings peace and foundation, the substance of being, conscious union, fulfillment, the preparation for the next adventure beyond imagination.

Cycles of life that transcend each other inform a meaning in nature, the vehicles of expression that relate to new realities. Time and distance take on new meaning. Even joy evolves, even the meaning of life. Frailties are transitory and are replaced by new strengths with new purpose.  Namaste.

Being conscious as Life 

JANU: ‘Realizing’ is the key word here. When does one realize something they didn’t before, or that they had forgotten and misplaced? What is the key to awareness and understanding? It is to embrace reality, to own it. That it lives within your experience, that it has byproducts in your life, and that it enriches another. And what leads to these? Life realizing potential.

Creativity has a spark, an initiator or an initiating. A magic of life is creativity. So what is the source of this with a quest to explore? Imagination, wonderment. A thirst for one person could be a memory for another, but it is no less a wonderment, no less magical, and no less a blessing.

We all need each other. It takes all of us to explore life. To see each other in this way: What do you know that I don’t, yet? What has your life included that you are moving on from? What have I forgotten over many sojourns, and between them?

Life is a teacher. It is how it expands, enriches itself. It takes all of life—every nuance, every motion—to embrace, retain, and expand upon its journey. Every moment has value. Recognize enrichment for what it is. Be grateful for the opportunity to discover and improve your life and someone else’s, whatever that looks like.

Being at peace is a life in harmony and in motion. Be conscious of its presence, its vitality, its motion, and its love. Namaste.

Illumination

JANU:  Illumination is the theme here: illuminated consciousness, understanding, knowing. “Illuminated by what?” you ask. By the Light of Life, its truth, its nature, its creativeness, illuminating your own beingness, sense of identity, and conscience. The illumination is not limited but touches everything. That is the nature of the Truth of Life. Pure Being is without borders, identity, in the sense of one identity as opposed to another. Understanding and Pure Being evolve, period.

Now, evolution is a process, for even the foundations of understanding achieved and of being are in motion. The beauty of life is its continuation and change and newness and wonder. Seeking illumination continually renews its potential. Identities that limit have borders. Change brings a sense of insecurity to those who live in borders of identity. Embracing evolution as a natural occurrence liberates creativity, understanding, and discovery.

Seeing identity as temporary to explore a part of life has merit. But temporary it must be. Always seek wisdom guiding change and evolution and reception. Realize that a new understanding evolves. Value what has been. Embrace what is. Open to potential and a path of discovery. Find peace in this and balance and confidence and love of life. Namaste.

Probing the reality of the Larger Life

JANU:   Probing the reality of the Larger Life is returning from the depths of ignorance, not by fault but by the nature of the journey. The freedom of experiencing the presence of the Larger Life brings gratitude, confidence, and fulfillment of discovery of your Nature, the nature of everything. The quest to explore other worlds is part of the quest to remember to become more conscious, to recover that which seemed lost. Revealing the True Nature and owning it is like exploring another world, for as you explore the Larger Life we are exploring our nature. No longer the separate identity of ego-personality and local experience.

There is an intimacy with the realities of life that has been softened due to the protocols of incarnating. Awakening is like being truly alive once more. Not only being conscious of, but being conscious as. (LINK to More on C of, C as)  There is joy in this, peace, freedom, fulfillment that continues to evolve. These qualities, experiences are always available whether incarnate or not. They are part of the true heart’s desire to experience and understand.

Without these things, the challenges of living seem to overcome and the frustrations and anger in so many clouds the view. A grand service to yourself and others is these revelations. Yes, even anger and the like are opportunities to find and employ solutions.

Understanding these parts of the human psyche can be liberating and empowering. Love these qualities, which are your Nature, into your life, into your day, into the moment. Allow these, for they are yours. Namaste.

The origins of mind

JANU: Exploring the options of discovery in the area of the origins of mind, we would pursue and prevail upon the many initiations of consciousness. The reality of being individual life has the reality preceding it. The term cloud of reality initiating consciousness comes to mind. This cloud transforms and is transformed into a coalescence of the reality of being as an individualized element of many for the purpose of exploration and experience of potential. So, you see, even potential was a creation. So mind became a natural manifestation of inquiry into the nature of potential, its manifestation, and its contextual experiences.

The reality of all of this is available for understanding and revisiting, for it is part of the ultimate nature of being. The sense of “you” in your inquiries is an evolving consciousness, born from the universal consciousness as it began to observe the nuances of potential, which are still evolving and will continue to do so as life explores Life.

These dynamics come to the fore the more potential is realized, for the discovery of what will be has a counterpart into the discovery of what has been. Both directions of discovery form the looping reality of life; past through present into future enriches everything and the circle grows. The incidentals of living and evolving reveal in the perception of the depth and breadth of being. Ultimately exposing the consciousness to the reality of being one with life, being one as life. Namaste.

Two Caveats when Exploring Other Worlds

  1. A change in purpose and perspective

JANU:   Suggesting equivalency between the Earth and the experience of other worlds, or that there is a basis for pursuing other world experience and culture to relate to some way of uplifting or reconfiguring Earth society, is a misnomer. There are different ways of thinking and living on other worlds that would make little sense to the average person on Earth. A viable purpose for such an adventure of discovery is to expand your identity and consciousness for another purpose.

At this time, let us let go of being on a mission to ‘fix,’ if you will, anything here. But be open to opportunities to serve. We agree on this and will adjust perspective to include it. Namaste.

  1. Explore with an appreciation of present and potential

JANU:  Employing the attributes of consciousness realized through the manifestation of potential we come to these terms of exploration into the realities of other worlds, amenable to the patterns of life with deepening understanding. The configuration for this relies upon a growing identity that has an affinity for what is discovered. From the point of view of ever growing, a perception of the magic of life, with potential always anticipated. Be patient as we prepare. Namaste.

Building a strong foundation for understanding

JANU: Post-apocalyptic perceptions of the durations of civilizations, human consciousness will prevail as it has on other worlds. Even when a world expires, life goes on and the imprints of that experience remain and continue to serve. So, you see, traditions of the end of humanity, those fears, are not founded in the larger perception of life, the larger reality of life.

Attuning to the realities of other civilizations on other worlds offers a perception of illusion of any anticipated future for Earth humanity. Let us continue to begin this journey of discovery with this foundation building, so that the bricks we lay in the foundation of discovery are harmonious with each other and can bear the weight of the truth for those yet to come. This journey has the potential for being larger than one sojourn. It matters not, for that which is built withstands sojourns. Let us proceed of this basis. We are one in this. Namaste.

The path of awakening

JANU:    We are encouraging, then, the discourse of the moment that begins with the illumination of entry level consciousness into the larger reality of individual being. We would say this: There comes a time when there is much to be learned and gained within the purview of incarnate life. We would say this in response to the many questions about purpose in life, about a better life, about the resolution of challenges, about the desire to uplift others which is born from the desire to find upliftment.

We say these things in earnest. Let them be pursued in ongoingness to these inquiries and ultimate discoveries. Why not join in the revelations of your own Nature?  Therein lies the secret to awakening. Realize that who you are is much more than what you think you are. Begin by opening to the Truth within you. Namaste.

A beneficial exchange with another

JANU:    The moments of enlightenment during today’s exchange are encouraging to both of you. It’s rewarding to observe and experience and own the path of wonder and discovery of another. It is also their path to freedom, discovery, enlightenment, and growth. Both benefit, in different ways. Life is enriched and the results can spread to others, for the field of discovery, the energy patterns, are not confined. Life touches life. Be alert for other opportunities. Grow in consciousness, in harmony with others. Namaste.
