Letting Go

JANU:   Perusing life, then, in freedom allows the experience to be unconditioned by perception, agendas, anticipations. Conditions such as these play a role in keeping the consciousness within the parameters of perceived existence. The universe, life, already is. To experience without coloration is a freedom. Humanity in many ways is consumed by their attention on so many goals, requirements of understanding, and conditions of comparison to their history of experience.

Realize this, our brother, that every visit with some element of life is unique, for life is in motion, as we have said many times. And if this is true, every position in life, when revisited, has changed. So how can you anticipate every experience by what has been? The freedom to explore, in fact, is enhanced by letting go of previous exploration. They do not validate a new journey by resembling it. Exploring life in the freedom we describe takes no effort at all but, as we have said, an open mind and open heart, meaning free of what has been.

Every moment of life is new. Compelling the moment to live in the past leaves you in the past. The question may be the same. The answer is always different. Allow this to be so, and you allow your freedom as a traveler exploring life. How can you validate a new experience with old information?

As we have said, life is not linear. Life is a simultaneous reality, not limited to such notions. So, when exploring, letting go means just that, as we have described. Ponder this, our brother, and you will succeed.

Resolving the complexities of life through enlightened simplicity

JANU:   For this morning’s journey, let us view an understanding of the complexities of life. From an incarnate point of view, these complexities seem to compound over time—complexities leading to complexities—yet the inner life seems devoid of solutions and insight. Not always, but much of the time. How does one, then, initiate a change in these complexities towards solution, leading to more solutions? The simple act is a beginning, our brother. Not just simple in possessions but simple in circumstance, simple in motivations, ambitions, and goals.

Even though one may choose numerous paths of engagement in the incarnate life, the approach can still be simplicity, free of complex manipulations, deceptions, and maneuvers for power over others. Goals include the benefit of humanity, the growth of peace in the life, and by ‘peace’ we mean the harmonious relationship with the nature of the endeavor, the patience for natural unfoldment instead of pushing beyond natural evolution in understanding and service. Genius of insight, understanding, and solutions is revealed more freely and naturally when the approach to complexities is free of agendas that disturb the flow and cause turbulence and reversals of direction. It is possible, our brother, to embrace a new path or goal and gain insight, clarity, into the ramifications, whether turbulent or flowing. Waiting to see what will happen is not mastership or guided insight.

Complexities are developed or enhanced by ignorance and lack of perception, not only of the goal but of the self and the motives. While surveying the larger life and its vastness and diversity, simultaneous reality, look for the simple truth that explains so many of these, which is their root, their origin, and a bit of their destiny. Complexity, mastered with simplicity, enlightened simplicity.
