awakening, flow of life, harmony, larger life, reality

JANU: Some have considered awakening as entering into a state of bliss, free of concern, quiet peace, trouble-free existence. Awakening reveals many realities, whether physical or not, filled with relationships, endeavors to understand and develop. What some call ‘magic’ is more commonplace and a way of life to varying degrees. The challenges of the physical life in some ways have their counterpart in other realities. We would have you know the so-called limitations of physical life are challenges that are understood in so many different ways when awakening, and give way to a myriad of other concerns that can be common to many worlds and species of consciousness.

Life is full, our brother. There is bliss and there is peacefulness. There is love. There is service and understanding. But these are applied in so many different ways that boredom is not an issue. Being conscious through awakening while incarnate brings into question the wisdom of applying new knowledge and understanding in ways that are harmonious with the normal flow of life, which must be considered.

What we are saying here, our brother, is that awakening exceeds projections of reality by those unaware. Some might say the demands of life are too great to take on more challenges. And for those, our brother, may they find peace in their current circumstance. But for someone who is bedridden, meeting their needs fundamentally, has a world view of their life based on their circumstance. But moving into mobility, as the nature of life beyond their confines, is life changing. Their life is fuller, with different challenges and opportunities and associations and countless discoveries.

Awakening has rewards, responsibilities, capabilities. The decision is to be made, whether to continue as you have or become something more and see everything you have known in a new way. Light-heartedness, commitment, and engagement, confidence, courage, and changes. It is not a journey you take alone. Your True Nature is your anchor, your center, and who you are. Awakening is a larger life, our brother, and includes all you have known and more.

The focus this evening is to grow into the reality of awakening. What this includes is your choice, the choice of all that you are. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 46: Transitions

Comments Off on Awakening 46: Transitions

Awakening: a series

allowing, awakening, evolution, flow of life, freedom, incarnation

JANU: Having once said that the decline of a civilization is a transition, one opportunity to another, such it is from one incarnation to another, one idea to another, from one philosophy to another, from the veil to awakening. See changes in life as ‘transitions.’ More understanding and acceptable than ‘endings and beginnings,’ for in transition, you see, reality is transformed not eliminated.

So embrace awakening, should you choose this path, as a transition into a larger life that retains everything useful. Some speak of leaving the body as a transition from one life to another. This is true but it is not the end of what you know, what you own. Life is full of transitions, movement, change. This keeps life fresh and new. Awakening is this kind of movement. Your sense of being makes the transition from limitation into freedom. Awakening is not the end of the journey, our brother, but a transition into a larger one.

When you evolve in consciousness to a clearer understanding of anything, that is a transition. Now, transitions, our brother, are processes and need to unfold in due order. Making the adjustment, or allowing it, we should say, is due process for what has been your foundation for understanding and engagement of life is changing. Be at peace with the process. Praise the gentleness of the natural flow of life. Learn from the process. Life is revealed through this. Much to experience, much to learn, much to enjoy, much to love. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Awakening 43: True Peace

Comments Off on Awakening 43: True Peace

Awakening: a series

awakening, diversity, evolution, flow of life, true peace

JANU: We are looking forward again to surmounting the challenge of awakening. But what a challenge it is, our brother, worthy of the effort to regain the freedom it brings. This journey employs more of the faculties of understanding and the power that brings. Being at peace helps restore the connection some might call ‘memory,’ but we call ‘presence of mind’ and ‘being.’

The frustrations humanity has set upon itself through their perceptions of time/space are not conducive to being at peace. The world of “it’s OK or it’s not OK” divides perception away from oneness. The reason so-called terrorism in Orlando, Florida, two days ago is viewed only as OK & not OK, a dichotomy, where in true peace the factors involved are understood that contribute to such events and the results of them. The rigid rules of right and wrong, with few gray areas of understanding, in the presence of awakening are no longer disturbing but understood, part of the life humanity has chosen for itself unawakened.

Very few involved see this event for what it truly is. The differences between people and their philosophies, social identities, hopes, angers, frustrations, passions, all play out and, in a sense, bounce off of each other. Everyone is part of life. Once again, awakening reveals so much and allows for resolution of so-called differences into the flow of life and the evolution of consciousness.

Awakening softens the intensity of different points of view, different understandings and preferences. The more you understand life, the less you rail against it. This is a measure of our suggestion to ‘be at peace.’ In peace, you understand more of all of life, all the elements, so-called differences, and how they combine into the flow of life, a life that is ever changing, evolving, restructuring, exploring, and creating.

Life is continually re-inventing itself, learning, growing, and evolving. Everyone, our brother, is part of this, in their own way, and even those ways are changing. Find peace in awakening and understand more of the life that you are and are part of and each other. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 40: The miracle and potential of incarnation

Comments Off on Awakening 40: The miracle and potential of incarnation

Awakening: a series

awakening, flow of life, freedom, identity, incarnation, the veil

JANU: Journeying today as one brings about a demarcation from the separation experience, due to the veil, and human identity. Let us bring about a reformation in the experience that restores a larger consciousness. Varying perspectives on awakening are centered on the central theme of return. For some it is as if you are visiting the place of your childhood and the memories and, in some cases, associations. Not unlimited experience compared to your current identity, but a fuller one. Not in the sense of childhood but in the reality of greater freedom, profound understanding, and unlimited life. No longer the human experience of aging, being fragile and vulnerable and uncertain perpetuated by society.

Some are concerned that this awakening means leaving incarnation, for how can one embrace the current incarnate life in the presence of such freedom? The incarnate life, our brother, was never designed to be what humanity has made of it, but something grander, with amazing potential for unlimited expression and experience. A joy in living and the wonder of it. A partnership with the larger reality of being. Only in ignorance does one assume that only the awakened consciousness and its reality is beautiful and wondrous.

The theme here is the return to connection of all life, not separating incarnate life, physical life, in any way. Just another plane of expression of a larger reality. See then, through awakening eyes and perception, the human experience grander than currently realized. The potential and magnificence of incarnate life was designed to be an expression of the larger life of freedom, the miracle of being. Not in opposition but part of the larger truth and an expression of it. Focus, then, our brother, on incarnate life being filled with the potential, the wonder, and miracles that are envisioned only for a more spiritual existence, see them combined into one truth with countless aspects and attributes.

The real human journey here, our brother, is an element of the flow of life. The Truth of Life, the Light if you will, is everywhere.

Awakening 39: True Power

Comments Off on Awakening 39: True Power

Awakening: a series

awakening, balance, evolution, flow of life, oneness

JANU: For this morning’s journey, let us agree to the reason for awakening, a purpose from the human perspective. And that is part of what can be called ‘true power,’ which has nothing to do with self-aggrandizement, attention, manipulation of others, or anything of that nature. What it has to do with, our brother, is being a conscious part of the power of life itself, requiring nothing from that it serves, and allows all life to be. The joy in it is the realization that all of life is enhanced, facilitated, respected and honored, and benefited. When you are in the flow of True Power, one requires in no way any attention or credit personally. True Power is a service reality, a giving reality, a contribution. The reward is that life is served and continues and blossoms and expands.

Being one with life means that your consciousness, your expansion, your vitality, everything that you are is enhanced through the oneness of life. No longer do you compare the power of one to another, one circumstance to another. There is one True Power, without beginning or end, that requires nothing of you. Allow your consciousness to expand in this way. The human consciousness can evolve into this and evolve is the word here, the reality.

Awakening is powerful indeed, the power of freedom, the power of connection, the power to be vitally at one with the flow of life. No longer concerned with how you appear to others, but the loving flow of life for others. False power is self-destructive, in the sense that it isolates from what we speak of, for its nature is taking not giving. The flow of life is only giving, and receiving. This is balanced reality. The flow of life is always such. Allow your awakening to have a theme of balance, giving and receiving, that enriches life.

Loving oneself in the true sense is not selfish but self-fulfilling, for it enables and ennobles, inspiring others into their freedom. True power, our brother, a theme for living and awakening. Namaste.

Awakening 29: Awakening to the truth of another

Comments Off on Awakening 29: Awakening to the truth of another

Awakening: a series

awakening, evolution, flow of life, integrity, Service, the veil

JANU: Understand this, our brother, that in your quest to explore through awakening the nature of another, the nature of your own being comes into play. You are known by those not incarnate. We have said before, “There are no secrets.” This is part of awakening, yet in the human condition secrets from each other are seen as necessary for survival and success in relationships.

What, then, allows for knowing the truth of another as well as yourself? Loving service without judgement; harmlessness; patience; respect and compassion for the integrity of another, no matter their circumstance or lifestyle or character.

Remembering that what your attention is on, you are connected to, and when you choose to know the truth of another, there is connection. The goal here is not to change the truth of another, for that is their integrity, whatever its condition. No condemnation allows another to live their truth in freedom, without enslavement of opinion or judgement. ‘Another’s truth’ includes everything, not just their human consciousness but their True Nature, their journeys of experience, engagements, understandings, twists and turns. Yours are known, our brother. Those of others can be known, but the veil through incarnation protects each other from the interference of another.

Awakening is the process of evolving, maturing in consciousness, to be one with the truth of another in peace, no longer perceiving them as just another human being with their outer characteristics, but much more. Symbolically, you see, the eyes you look through, the perceptions you look through, to see the life around you and the truth within it, reveal more as you awaken, understanding yourself more deeply and your choices, your consciousness as it awakens to more of life. Service to another, our brother, is not imposed but guided by the truth in your beings, the flow of life and its wisdom.

Understanding true service is a profound journey. It is a theme of life, older than what you call time. This is part of the path of awakening, our brother. Be patient with it, and gentle, and loving. Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

condition of human life, connection with life, flow of life, inspiration

After spending a lunch hour with my wife visiting her former colleagues, I had this attunement.

JANU: An interesting day, indeed. The healing of the hand has begun for that teacher. The warmth of renewed fond memories have been a blessing for the others on your day’s journey. Such events are a blessing beyond words or philosophies. Being a conduit for a touch beyond limitation will become a more frequent occurrence. When one is inspired by a quiet touch with fond memory, it lingers in the spirit, in the thoughts and emotions. Generosity, our brother, breeds generosity. That is a wise model for any day or interaction with others. Humanity needs this more and more. Feeling rich within, by its nature, wants to be passed on. Invest your blessings in others. Part of the flow of life, you see. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Celebrating differences

Comments Off on Celebrating differences

Miscellaneous Journeys

collaboration, diversity, flow of life, Individuality, oneness, systems of life

JANU: We are encouraging at this time the beginning of a dialogue that attempts to unite philosophies of various cultures under the fundamental principles of life and traditions older than time. Focusing on their differences adds the diversity of understanding but stopping with differences misses the systems approach to how the differences are one truth, one reality. This unites philosophies into diversified oneness, bringing about allegiances, collaborations, and mutual support, paving the way for explorations of life that transcend any one of them.

So then, what we see here is a systems approach to life, which brings tolerance for all diversity with a vision toward the collective one. Systems approach opens the consciousness to the meaning of the flow of life, for life is a system of differences being one at the same time. This is a hurdle for some who are identified with individuality and separation. Two can accomplish more than one, and be more enduring in their flow of life. Unity, but not at the sacrifice of differences, for diversity is strength. Strength in the sense of continuation, overcoming of challenges, and depth of understanding. Find peace in differences, and genius resulting in wisdom, and true power. Discover the love that is real and transcends any differences. You are all of equal worth in the presence of life itself. Celebrate your differences with a vision that includes them all. Namaste.

Comments Off on Co-creation

Miscellaneous Journeys

choices, co-creation, Enlightenment, flow of life, the veil

JANU: Enlightenment, our brother, is always useful. Insights that occur in the lives of many speak to the living presence of their larger consciousness, their True Nature. Even with the veil, the presence of the True Nature remains. More so than many realize. Superficial consciousness becomes dominant with the veil in place. But even with this, the life is not devoid of fundamental truth born of the need of the moment, the desire of the heart, concern for another, and moments of love. Presence remains. The veil does not change this. In time, it is possible to see beyond the veil and the beauty of life that surrounds you and fills you. For the life that surrounds you is a creation and the nature of creation is life itself, the common element that connects everything. Do not see materiality as an inert or dead thing, you see. It is vibrant with life, evidence of the living presence of even your own True Nature.

You ask, “What does co-creation mean? What is the reality of being a co-creator?” The thrust to live, to create, to manifest, to experience, to understand, to contribute, to share is a co-creator. Not limited to the human being, you see, but any measure of consciousness that can respond to the presence of life. How does life itself, then, continue, evolve, and expand without a consciousness that can co-create, always present in each life? What then would you create, our brother, in coming aware of this? Whatever you are drawn to realize through your interest, your compassion, your nature. Creation that has inherent within it more creation.

Creating includes far more than materialization, by patterns of energy, qualities of being, living patterns of essential nature. Mastering the flow of your life, choosing unfoldment rather than just waiting for it. Good health is a choice, not an accident. Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Awakening 14: Let your life evolve into something larger

Comments Off on Awakening 14: Let your life evolve into something larger

Awakening: a series

awakening, choices, evolution, flow of life, identity, integrity, larger life

JANU: For today’s journey, let us review what is to come. The elements of awakening in this series have to do with a sense of belonging to, being part of, included in the Family of Life. This family is vast and deep, not just in the physical reality with those of similar interest and ability, but in many other realities as well where consciousness exists in harmony with the flow of life. Participating in such a way is not the loss of identity, but the expansion of identity, identifying with more of who and what you are and can be, as well as the essential nature of others and their desire for being part of a larger life.

This pursuit is a course taken for the life that is in you and that you are to grow, expand, and discover. No matter the degree, most everyone wants to understand more, experience more, absorb opportunities, not only enrich their own lives but help enrich the lives of others. Receiving the joys of living and sharing those joys is part of the flow nature of life, you see, the giving and taking. Or should we say: the taking and giving? They are one and the same thing, both sides of the same coin.

The Family of Life does not concern you and your identity. It is more sharing mutual benefit with no loss of integrity. The mystery and the wonder and awe of this is the countless outcomes. What does life turn into? A measure of decision making, choosing this or that, but the outcomes of those choices are still a wonder and a miracle. The Family of Life gives you purpose, a larger identity, and the ability to perceive grand opportunities to even recognize their existence. Enlightened, awakened Family of Life is an experience on the move, renewing, refreshing, and reviewing.

Awakening provides opportunity for incarnate families to grow together in creative ways, with love constantly taking on new meaning. A cooperation of individuality, freedom, but growing together, sharing each other’s strengths, supporting each other’s challenges. Some are fearful of allowing their lives to include others, for the challenges of this are unknown, unpredictable. So build the foundation to proceed on. What are you comfortable with? What is the nature of your relationship with yourself and with others? Be true to that, even if it is evolving as well. As you open to the larger life, allow evolution of consciousness, experience, wisdom, and love. Namaste.
