JANU: All along the path of awakening there emerges what some call ritual, but others call life patterns. The function of a life pattern is to ignore distraction and build or develop layers of depth of meaning of possibilities. Life patterns can be long standing, longer than sojourns, or seemingly instantaneous, for the flow of life, the evolution of creation, is not limited to any one pace. Life has unlimited diversity—countless unique properties, opportunities, changes—coexisting. Ritual can lead to its mindlessness. Living in the Now is a coordination of the form of life with all that has been and all that will be. See these journeys in the same way. Tradition, unending change, wisdom-gaining, and enrichment. Be at peace with all of this and more. Life is dynamic, eternal, and at peace. We are one. Namaste.

Penetrating insight
JANU: Penetrating insight is a gift in the sense that it predisposes one to wisdom on any subject or circumstance. Insight is to be understood as a predominance of sensitivity to elements of reality that keeps pace with its evolving changes. This includes insight into one’s own nature, motivations, agendas, predispositions, biases, behavior, perceptions. Awakening turned inward helps clear the path of evolution in consciousness and the True Nature.
Some perceive that close scrutiny does not allow for so-called wiggle room of experimentation, excursions into possibilities. Not true, for this so-called wiggle room in the journeys of life allows for its diversity to bring flavor, texture, and substance to Life itself. So, let us be mindful on these journeys of understanding that tolerance and discipline go hand in hand.
We are one on every step of the way. Namaste.

Ways to explore life
JANU: Exploring life has different modalities. There is the focused approach on one subject. There is a more general approach becoming aware of larger and larger perspectives, more inclusive, you see. There is more of a wandering approach of finding interest here and there. There is the guided selective approach, building a foundation of understanding for various purposes. There is the service approach for proficiency in service. There is a more casual approach of observing life in motion. One need not be limited to any one approach, but include a variety, the diversity of which has its own benefit.
Let us journey at this time, randomly. This time, the interest of the True Nature holds sway, and that is a variety of cultures.
There are those whose life journeys criss-cross each other in a network pattern, with individual enclosed identities that don’t always perceive the tapestry being woven. Humanity is a lot like this. In this case, on Earth, the tapestry is being woven as a conveyance to manifest a network of conscious creators of destinies. The diversity of experiences and identities in motion are a foundation for this. Wisdom based on experience is the theme, networking on more than one level, to include the True Natures.
A small glimpse. Namaste.

Sharing truth requires nothing in return
JANU: So-called ordinary people are extra-ordinary beings who have forgotten this. The richness of the diversity is beyond measure. Many have identified with what they have been told by others, a self-perpetuating reality of forgetfulness. The veil was never intended to be permanent, but the incarnate experience with the veil has an anomaly of disbelief in the presence and reality of spiritual life and one’s True Nature.
Exposing understandings in a sincere and gentle way of the truth of larger realities is a service, whether understood or not by those being served. Their True Natures have the wisdom to guide their awakening, when they are aware of the choice and choose it. Rejection cannot occur when nothing is offered. And even when it occurs, change takes repetition and patience. Do not take personally responses to the offerings. They do not require any particular response, only to be offered. The choice is yours, as is the opportunity to serve. Require nothing. Offer freely. Be patient and consistent. We are one in this. Namaste.

Life has meaning and purpose
JANU: The circle of life goes round and round, but in the process becomes richer and richer, deeper, more integrated in its expanding diversity. There is beauty in the process of awakening. Every element adds freedom and sovereignty and self-realization and new relationship with the True Nature. Awakening is not a straight line, many changes of direction. At times, a sense of traveling in circles.
The outer and the inner life merge. Identity expands, no longer alone in life but more and more one with it. Witnessing and understanding the nature of another is endearing. Caring for another is an opportunity to become a blessing for another, characterized by love, wisdom, and the true power of Life itself. No longer just one human to another, but something larger.
These realizations are not new. They have always been part of the potential of life. We talk of peace and freedom and awakening and consciousness. They are connected. Life has meaning and purpose. Choose to own it. Namaste.

Recognizing awakening
JANU: Fostering awakening brings into play the various modalities as they play out through the diversity of human consciousness. It is difficult, to say the least, to wrap a ribbon around awakening and describe it. And why would you want to? Life is larger than that. Go with the flow. Appreciate its motion. Identify with the diversity of life. No boredom here, you see. Even so-called repetition contains changes. Be that kind of observer.
How does one recognize their own awakening? By the revelations, the surprises, the wonderment, new understandings, and the evolution of happiness and peace of mind. See the future in the lives of others. Namaste.

Commitment and flexibility
JANU: ‘Once and for all’ speaks of determination and unbending commitment. But potential and Life are broader than this. They blend so-called absolute commitment with flexibility, change, variation, reality with many faces, with such diversity there seems to be no direction. Yet, in the larger Truth of Life, all of these elements of embrace build experience, wisdom, reappraisal. A complexity of life with many themes. Diversity in commitment and engagement keeps life from becoming routine and boring. Your True Nature knows this, and allows this. This flexibility and diversity of interest, constantly changing, brings a richness that one-pointedness misses. Understanding the life path of others comes from diversity of interest, brings tolerance and patience through understanding that relates. This flexibility of life engagement, from time to time, allows for change that is needed to bring wisdom to life through varied experience. Your True Nature is rich in this way. Namaste.

Choosing leaders
JANU: Realizing, through benevolent interaction with another, we are all brothers, partners in life with more common interests, capability, desires, insights than many realize. Some close knit families reflect on life in this way. It is part of human legacy, heritage, and nature. Benevolent wise leadership, of nations and groups of people, understand this and base their decisions in this way. The ones that do, understand the correlation within families, and then among families, with coordination, balance, incredible diversity, but a synergism of life that reflect these qualities. And through these decisions, help individuals understand this as well and pattern their lives accordingly.
Families nurture each other, stand by each other, understand each other, and sacrifice for each other. Should nations do any less? Look for these qualities in the leaders to be chosen. The decision gets easier. Namaste.

Why the ‘night of human consciousness’?
JANU: Salient points to be made when discussing the night of human consciousness. The first point: It brings imaginings of an alternative life. Secondly, it brings into view the nature of existing consciousness. Thirdly, individuality becomes the theme of achievement.
So what beckons the imagination to awaken? It is original thought and original being, the source of life and the power to create. For with the darkness comes isolation, disconnection, and loneliness, and fear. The veil experience, in its way, brings about the search for Larger Life and meaning. The hope and imagination that life has something better to offer, answers to the unknown. Self-examination is a springboard to the Larger Life. The clues to this are the diversity of the lives of others. Much to consider. Namaste.

Awakening is a process
JANU: Gradual support for the awakening of humanity is being in the flow. It allows all life its journey of process. Process enriches the journey, the awakening. Awakening begins in an instant but continues as a process so that potential is fulfilled and all of life has the opportunity to be touched. Such is the nature of a symphony.
So put your attention and commitment to the process of awakening. See its beauty, its changes, the amazing diversity of process. It is not just humanity’s awakening. In time, conscious awareness of the other realities of life beyond humanity and the Earth will become part of the mix, if you will. Many lessons to be learned, perspectives. Life is growing, expanding, deepening. Namaste.
