Darkness into Light

JANU: Understanding and helping humanity evolve, peace in the face of frustration, is a challenge. Moving in the direction of peace brings clarity and understanding and a vision to evolve. Let us portray what we see and what can be seen.

We see a mixture of struggle, failure, perceived failure, some hopelessness, anger from frustration, brutality from the anger, frustration from lack of solutions, pain and suffering, of regret and losses, ill health and lack of peace and harmony, self-doubt and isolation. The alternatives to these are masked because the Light, the Truth of Life, seems dim and distant.

Alternatives to these in the daily life are moments of kindness, understanding, patience, wisdom, yet certainly recognizable—if even for only a moment—without understanding why. Kindness always brings hope and strong memories. The desire to emulate the joy and enriching the life of another, the increase in self-worth, integrity, and gratitude for living. The desire to terminate life is replaced with the joy of fulfilling it.

Look for examples to manifest. Observe what they build. Continue with these. Namaste.

Being Life loving itself

JANU:    Pondering the large questions about existence and life can be an avoidance of what is at hand, even though related and coexisting. What guideline, then, influences the focus of attention for the purpose of exploration, understanding, and evolution in consciousness? The true interest of the moment  that one is connected to has to do with purpose. What is the nature of purpose, then, but the manifestation of potential? What is the nature and quality of that potential in the moment? It is to be. And what would you be? The love of life, love as life, life loving its own potential. The motivation of life in motion is to explore itself, to create and realize, not in terms limited to physicality. So focus in the moment on Life loving itself and all that it is, without preference. Namaste.

Freedom to explore

JANU: Analysis must take on a new name to be released from limited thinking and tradition.  The freedom to be embraces that which comes as intuition, dynamic life, and the promise of freedom. Freedom to be more. Freedom to explore. Conscious oneness.

So what does one explore, in harmony with these opportunities? The meaning of Life? Its potential? Current consciousness? Focused exploration, the pulse of Life and its potential. Life expresses countless forms, compositions, and seeming contradictions. One speaks of ‘isness,’ beingness, the arc of Life. These terms include so much more than ‘conscious of’ or ‘conscious as.’ Incarnate consciousness is consumed with, patterned deeply with the sense of time, sequence of realities, order, patterns, and cadence of life. Simultaneous existence, purposes, opportunities, understandings, consciousnesses, relationships are a step beyond.

As we continue these adventures into the Larger Life, one does not dismiss any of the life leading up to this. The Larger Life is just more inclusive, less restricted, biased, preferred, isolated in any way. Enjoy the freedom of limitlessness in thinking, experiencing, understanding, and service. See all of the vehicles of Life in this way. And, yes, even the physical for the duration of its expression.

Explore wholesomeness, balance, vitality, evolution, presence. Be present in understanding, discovery, engagement, expression. Find peace as a reality. Allow it to be and become. Greet all of Life in this way. It is a foundation for understanding and being the Truth of Life. Namaste.

Life challenges and solutions coexisting

JANU:     Solutions to challenges is the state of presence of mind. And what is ‘presence’ but an interface, a coexisting of consciousness reality and potential. With these in communication, in harmony, the Breath of Life speaks to challenges in a way that finds growth and benefit in that process. Challenges and solutions are elements of the one Life, along with many others. They have Life in common and Life is in constant motion and evolution. And Life evolves through all these processes, so evolve with Life and incorporate these elements into your process of living and awakening: challenges, solutions, open-mindedness, confidence, willingness, connection, and ownership through experience and understanding. Namaste.

The expression of Truth

JANU:   The Truth comes out, is revealed, manifests, creates along the lines of natural expression. By this we mean: Life is, we are, but the diversity of existence includes relationships that seem otherwise. When making choices in one’s own creativity, imagination and desires at times seem to conflict with observable existence. How does one, then, determine, perceive, understand these diversities in any light available? The successes of creativity, in the form of motion that flows with the ongoingness of Life’s reality, is observable as well and brings about revelations of deeper understanding and creativity.

Life in motion is constantly changing. The experience is a great revealer. Different realities have different paths of existence and revelation. The veil serves a purpose through focus. The existence of diversity with focus is through identity. All of Life realities coexist but their path of evolution and motion can overwhelm the consciousness of each identity’s reality of perception; therefore, the existence of time, relativity, space.

The experience brings understanding but there are processes of assimilation. Impatience is not easy to rein in. Thinking only in terms of one sojourn, one can misunderstand these processes and become impatient. Wisdom breeds patience. A worthy goal, you see, to not only understand Life but gain wisdom of its unfoldment. Namaste.

This relates directly to the previous journey and may make more sense if they are read together.

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.

The role of identity

JANU:   Identity, the exploration of, is an attachment to variations on a reality. Personal identity can expand beyond the manifestation of a singularity, life beyond that limitation. Identity reaches into the depths of the mystery of Life when it encounters borders, one thing versus another in description and purpose. The nature of which succumbs to limitation under the perception of diversity, differences, isolated existence for the purpose of exploring the depth of life patterns.

Let us reach then into the so-called mysteries of Life, understanding their nature, their coexistence, that which builds opportunities and challenges of discovery and realization. The fluid nature of reality allows for constant flow, change, combining, reconstruction, dissolution, and enrichment. Owning in consciousness in this manner reinvigorates openness to discovery, the possibility of complexities and interactions, starting over, re-examination, stirring the pot of Life, so to speak. Timelessness  when realized is reality where realizing its reality allows for deeper exploration of possibilities and existence. Re-incorporation of past journeys into new relationships and new adventures invigorates life as never before on any path of discovery.

We reach into these things to understand, to gain wisdom, to refine meanings. Why not, then, incorporate these into a scheme of life of constant evolution, depth, and new purpose? In other words, explore Life as far as it will take you into timelessness. Namaste.

The question of identity and identity shifting is a recurrent one. Two other journeys most related to this one are Mastering the Many Faces of Identity (LINK) and The What and Why of Identity. A compilation of journeys on this topic is Identity within Awakening

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 purpose of life

JANU:   The purpose of life is to be, to evolve, to realize potential, self-examination to reveal what some would call efficiency and waste. What is waste? The appearances of life expressions have superficial and deeper layers to be understood, engaged, and become what is. Observing that life that your being is one of includes associative reality.

Human consciousness is identified with its current perception. Expanding that reality includes a freedom to have a larger identity, not defined by only part of life. Realizing a larger reality of being includes awakening to the larger reality without the fear of any loss. Reaching a higher rung on the ladder of life does not mean the loss of the last rung of understanding. Life builds and builds and builds as the role of identity evolves. Survival is a function of concern for a limited identity. Allow your consciousness to expand and your sense of identity expands with it. Fears fall away, realizing that, through experience, an evolving identity transcends limitation.

Life is larger than a limited identity. Become that life. It is your destiny. Identify with continuation, evolution, expansion. Experience from this on the move.  Namaste.

 Like many, I have struggled with this topic over the years, receiving similar but progressive insights. Try The Purpose of Life (2018), Life Purpose (2016),  Meaning and Purpose in Life (2015) or Meaning and Purpose of Life (2014) in whatever order pleases you.

More on “What is Life?”

JANU:   The course of evolution in any culture, whether the Earth or somewhere else, includes survival and, at times not as you might think. Life is larger in meaning, potential, purpose, and begs the question: What is Life? The expressions of it vary greatly. Its purpose is to be. Life patterns compound exponentially, moment to moment, and even beyond definite perception of time. Each plane of existence has its own consciousness, its instincts for survival, its curiosities to evolve, to connect, to communicate. One unaware of the other to varying degrees. The perception of sacrifice for the survival of another speaks to essential life.

The existence of life extends beyond any one reality. For one reality to embrace another there must be re-formation for pattern matching. Common ground for communication forms in this way, and others.

How does one pattern match another? Through insights, inspirations, or in subtler realities that exist and blossom through the evolving evolution of the species from deep within.

“And what inspires?” you ask. A love of life, which includes gratitude and the desire to awaken to something greater. Life has an affinity to awaken, to embrace itself through expression, much as the physical body takes a breath to continue.

It is revealing to explore what is natural for any existence to continue. The presence of natural conditions is a foundation for the beginning of that reality. There are other natural realities that are foundation for other life expressions. Life is aware of all of these realities even though the realities, in their natural state, are still awakening to the roots of their being, where all exists and potential is blossoming.

So beginning and ending exists in a reality of ongoingness. As pattern matching evolves, so does evolution. Find peace in this, confidence. Think and live as Life continues. Namaste.
