Systems of life 

JANU:  The tree is an example of your request to explore life and serve as well. The tree explores its environment, takes from the earth and gives to it, is nourished by it, the Earth. And serves the Earth with vegetation, organic material. A system of life that endures. Humanity and the like do this as well. The efforts at refinement have eddies in the current of life that seem like reversals, contradictions, and destructive. The physical universe is the same.

A system of life includes change, evolution, modification, energy expenditure, all of these things and more. But life goes on. Realizing potential is not a path without these things, but the potential is Life in motion as it is realized. So where is the fault in life’s processes? What ideal might you profess that is superior?

Your True Nature evolves as well, realizes potential, changes, creates, enriches, and is nourished by the processes of life. Timelessness and time/space coexist. Enlightenment reveals this, and its benefits, the processes, the evolution and the enrichment of each other. Viewing life in new ways from time to time is challenging and calls for the patience for insight to reveal its nature. Namaste.

Message for Humanity: Choose your life wisely

JANU:    Peace seems to be an overused word with confusion as to depth, meaning, and true power.  As one observes humanity and today’s human environment and social realities, it’s not easy to see vast examples. One asks the question “Why is there so much anger and struggle for power and dominance, when working together for mutual benefit could create so much more that benefits everyone?”

From one point of view, it has to do with enlightenment, awakening to the larger life, not only of humanity but individually as well. Humanity’s potential is coupled inextricably with its true nature. Everyone has present within themselves larger, simpler, more powerful, and constructive understanding as to the nature of their own life and Life itself.

When one observes another or themselves gaining a moment of true understanding and freedom, the joy is obvious. When one gains power over others, power that takes and consumes, revelation is not the same. But that scenario seems more available when one is angry, frustrated, and impoverished, than the beauty and power of the inner and larger life, a loving life with patience, tolerance, and love.

How does one, then, embrace the difference, to the benefit themselves and others? By desiring it more than anything, recognizing its significance an unlimited possibilities. Seeing results little by little that bring encouragement and inspiration. Choose, with wisdom that evolves, the life of your desires and all that goes with it. The inner life is filled with simple solutions that are powerful, not complications or manipulations but a light of clarity. Easier to reveal to others, mostly by example.

The Family of Life, so to speak, in its way, is eternal, omnipresent, and evolving. Choose wisely. Your choice is not alone. You are loved. Namaste.

How to explore more of life

JANU:   Exploring life, drawing to our consciousness understanding. There are many branches of life to explore, any one being connection to another, establishing points of interest along the way. This may seem like a grab bag to some but, with enlightenment and experience, each is a pearl with many opportunities to realize potential. There are no dead ends, you see, only connections and diversity, all of which are evolving. Restorations of the patterns of living. Incarnate life comes to mind.

This seems a departure from common experience. There is a difference between ‘natural’ and ‘common.’ Both exist. The freedom of choice comes with awakening, and the removal of doubt, confusion, preferences that limit, for it matters not to the awakening individual. For awakening has many faces and rests in every part of life.

So open to engage, experience, understand more of life. It does not hide from you. Limitation self-created does the hiding. Let go of borders. Choose freedom. Life is everywhere. Engage it. Namaste.

An evolving perception of life

JANU:   Incorporate into our beings the sense of enlightenment. The peace that goes with union, the sense of urgency left behind. Timelessness and natural beingness and consciousness. No longer the struggle to blindly know, to speculate endlessly but to accept the larger reality of natural being. We are Janu and more, as we become an expression of the life that we explore, a symbiosis of evolution, the cadence of life in motion. With every aspect of being evolving, we are Life in motion. The discordance in humanity resists our physical life temporarily. To see beyond, through the moment, is the grander gift of awakening. To perceive in new ways the patterns of life and their interactions. The dynamism of vitality reaches into the crevices and dark shadows and fills them. Even perception evolves. See in larger ways. Process in a larger way. Identify and express your nature. This new freedom is in harmony with the truth you seek. Namaste.

The journey of awakening

JANU:    The potential of Life is enormous. Being conscious as more and more of Life is part of the process of awakening. In the current incarnate condition of consciousness, for most, the direct experience of life is perceived as physical life. Lip service is paid to the unknowns of being. Many religions try to describe this, but there’s a vagueness about it.

On our journeys, the word ‘our’ refers to the human consciousness and identity as well as the True Nature, the True Nature being the so-called soul or larger being that survives incarnations and is conscious of more of life than the human personality. Conscious union, individually, has its unique life patterns as part of the process of desire by the incarnate consciousness to reunite or become one with the larger identity. The process is described as that which affords continuity and non-interference with a wise and loving pattern of awakening. Integrating a larger consciousness with the incarnate life patterns unfolds in a way that brings enlightenment to both incarnate and spiritual elements of being. Both evolving together in the direction of oneness, fulfilling opportunities of potential; therefore evolving in harmony with life.

Patience means moving in harmony with the natural order which takes all the patterns of life, of all of life, into consideration, so that Life benefits on its path of realization of potential. So, movement takes place from individual identity towards unlimited identity, or universal consciousness. Not to be rushed by unwise desires, uncontrolled desires, but allowed to unfold with patience, confidence, faith in reality, and a love of Life. So, walk the journey of being conscious as more and more of life. Namaste.

 As this is the basic premise of all I have presented on this website, there are lots of background sources to investigate, if you choose, in whatever fashion suits you. An identically named journey from 2019 offers a slightly different take on the idea, as does Progress on the human journey of awakening  from 2015. For further background, the reader may also wish to check out the page entitled Awakening to the Larger Life, which consists of various links to collections of journeys having to do with awakening.

The face of aggression in the Larger Life

JANU:   The face of aggression in the Larger Life is the face of commitment, momentum, service, enlightenment, willingness, acceptance, initiative, which brings joy through revelation and experience. Being aggressive in this manner revitalizes, invigorates, sustains the flow of opportunity and challenge. The commitment to peace, change, and opportunity with something to connect with, find expression, and evolve. Embracing life in this way is fulfilling to the individual and the being, and inspires others with its magic. Retreat from life is not the same. Everyone on their path embraces hope, longs for fulfillment, finds joy in service and uplifting others. Understand that True Natures share, understand these things, and support them. As you grow, do your respect. Admire and experience your own. See others in the same way, as Life evolves and becomes more. Namaste.

Recovery

JANU: Recovery begins our journey. Life recovers its momentum with each surge of change. Individual life journeys can be seen the same way, recovering momentum from change. One might see change as recovering newness, freshness, beginnings, inspiration, and insight into outcome and possibilities. Change is an exciting time. One is recovered as more of Life.

Staleness is replaced with new purpose, deepening enlightenment, with echoes of the past succumbing to movement of the future. What changes is The NOW . The Now is alive with potential, the vehicle of Life is the chariot. The directions that are possible are without limit, shaped by the echoes of the past, refined by the potential in the Now manifesting in the future.

Allow recovery by letting identity expand, change, evolve. Evolution and refinement are partners in the Dance of Life. Old acquaintances begin anew. New acquaintances evolve with a history. Discovering each other is the journey of miracles. Discover how rich life can be. Allow the time and patience to enjoy the flavors. Live confident that Life continues and its nature is indestructible, due to recovery. Allow your life as an individual to recover. Others can do the same thing. Namaste.

Living in the moment

JANU:   Many steps to wisdom, to enlightenment, to understanding. Participation in the evolution of life. Creativity. Service. Living. The intellect seeks out complexity, details, technology. The heart listens for feelings, emotions, a different kind of knowing. The True Nature allows with an intimacy into the nature of being. Coexistence. Past, present, and future and their interactions. Their mutual benefits are in understanding based on simplicity and infinite diversity.

Embracing the moment is a process of unfoldment, allows for peaceful experience. Embrace life as a continuing unfoldment of being. Living in the moment has profound depth. Many live in the past and future and miss many revelations of being. How many are conscious of the fullness of any moment ? Being of timeless consciousness is limitless and in harmony with Life in motion. Namaste.

The joy of awakening

JANU:   Established as one, we begin again this dialogue of light. Establishing, then, once more the momentum of being. Reaching, then, into the vastness of the Truth of Life, some call the Light, we choose to see and understand what is.

Let us begin, then, by announcing the forthcoming of a degree of enlightenment, a threshold to be achieved by humanity through self-determination and their own True Nature. The future is not doom and gloom. It is awakening to the full potential of life, individual being, and an enriched and awakening society. Preparing, then, for productive and meaningful connection and exchange with the Larger Life that already exists.

Let us proceed, then, through the discourses to come with an open mind and open heart and a desire to awaken. There is so much more to be experienced and service to be rendered through direct knowing and co-creating. We see at this time momentum building in this direction. There is no culmination or end to this awakening, this movement of life, for all of life is in motion, changing and evolving and creating.

We anticipate and look forward to the joy of becoming, for everyone. Solutions to challenges, the meaning of everything, realization of potential, and the joy of being coexist with your current level of awareness. Ideals and heart’s desire. We begin again, bidding namaste.

Balance of conscious of & conscious as

JANU:    Understanding through experience brings wisdom. The journey in your world brings about such changes. The incarnate life is to be experienced as it is to be understood. The wisdom gained broadens the embrace of life in such a way as to inspire it. The elements of wisdom gained elevate the base of understanding, enriching the path of awakening and enlightenment.

All of life draws upon this and is enriched, not just individuals but the framework of existence. All enlightenment is embraced by life. The power of peace is deepened. Understanding through experience awakens perception into reality and this, in turn, awakens the consciousness to an appreciation of all life and all it can be. Being conscious beyond the limits of individuality of the finite being, any reality in that is an instrument to explore life, to touch as much of it as possible.

So touch everything available in an enlightened way. It does not mean succumbing to anything detrimental but finding a balance between conscious of and conscious as.  There is vitality in this. The spark of life is a direct experience of awakening. Namaste.
