Exploring Life, Service

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.

Exploring Life

, , , ,

JANU:  Peace comes to mind as gratitude builds for what has been given, what has been gained, and what will come. The patterns of life yield many things. Not only their existence, their relationships, but their potential as well. Each one is a life pattern. Each creature, each world, are patterns in motion comprised of countless elements of living qualities.

Appreciating life in this way helps one become aware of and sensitive to the vitality, the presence, and the essence of life. Find peace in all of this, as it flows and moves, changes and explores its own vitality. Acknowledge your own life reality. Allow your sense of identity to live as the universe of possibility, unknown potentials, and potentials achieved. Be grateful for the richness that you are and, in turn, the richness of others. The minutia of your opportunities to engage and let go of, for all of it is life.

Do not separate the significance of the elements of life into importance, worth, or beauty. Life is all of this. The gratitude and depth of understanding marches on. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

, , , ,

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.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening, Inspiration

, , , ,

JANU:    The dynamics of life include the confusion of ignorance, the clarity of insight, the challenges—unexpected and expected, the blessings whose source is unknown and whose duration is unknown, the mis-emotions of frustration and anxiety, and others. What then enriches life? What brings about enthusiasm to explore, gratitude for what has been gained?

Being grateful for everything. Faith in the continuation of Life and its evolution. Finding joy in being and that Life is. Discovering what Life is. Witnessing its essential nature and the patience that it demonstrates, the endurance it provides, the rewards as it responds to your existence. The connection it gives you. The Truth it reveals. Namaste.

Exploring the Richness of Life

, , , , , , ,

JANU: Gratitude, the chosen focus for this journey, is one that announces to Life constructive positive feedback to its manifestation of potential, establishing a co-creative relationship with its progeny. Peaceful harmonious journeying through the challenges of being brings enormous response from life to continue to understand, be that expression.

Gratitude can dominate, permeate consciousness in so many forms of expression. Gratitude is like a fountain, bringing freshness, renewal, and balance to the patterns of life. Gratitude and forgiveness are partners in evolution, so choose to evolve each day. Namaste.

The Human Condition

JANU: Benefiting from a blessing is a life pattern worthy of gratitude. The experience brings a joy to be shared with others. It is natural to wish blessings for others, for the human journey is one that all are included in, incarnated on one world. Blessings flow constantly as Life encourages, lovingly, the evolution and happiness of all creatures. A simple desire to lift many. Namaste.

JANU:   Miracles. What are they? Throughout time there have been phenomenon categorized as such. Some have been called nothing more than “speeded up” normal events. Much more to it than that. A miracle can be a thought of genius, a moment of forgiveness, freedom from enslavement—self-imposed or from another. Every heartbeat is a miracle; miss one, and see if you don’t think so.

What makes a miracle possible is the alignment of, the engagement of creative elements. “And what are these?” you ask. They are thought without doubt. They are the focus of consciousness unrestricted. Unlimited thought. They are the creative forces of life organized and manifested. They are life in motion. They are not limited to physical life.

Miracles occur whether perceived or not. If one could perceive all of life, one would understand that all of life is a miracle. The joy, the wonder, the amazement of witnessing a miracle applies to every moment of life. Living in gratitude and appreciation of the moment brings peace and an openness to be conscious of more of life, whether yours or another’s, of what has been and what will be. Find peace in this and freedom from frustration, anxiety, any fear.

Allow your sense of identity to be that free. If life is always in motion, does that not include your identity as well? Your thoughts, your perceptions, your intimacy with everything. Namaste.

JANU:   Seasonally speaking, the requests for enlightenment exist more often at these times for there are many who wish enlightenment for humanity, thinking that a time of thanksgiving is a reminder of what to be thankful for.

Life promises abundance, but only when open to it. And this is what gratitude is for, energetically. Gratitude attracts abundance, for life responds to opportunities to enrich itself. Life invests in all of its creations, and prospers when these creations flourish. Co-create and express life’s potential. So find peace in the promise of life that it will continue, evolve, and cherish its creations. Namaste.

Service

, ,

JANU: I am beginning this evening’s service by spreading the joy of living throughout your world.

Is it possible, then, to find joy in living moment by moment? It is, if you love life and all it can be. The joy of living is in the freedom of each breath, a moment of peace, the movement of the body, the freedom of a thought, the beginning of a day, the observing of a child, the tears of happiness in another, an infant in the arms of its mother trusting completely her protection and care, the beauty at the moment of sunrise or sunset, the rain in your face, the warm summer breeze, the serenity of a grazing cow, an autumn leaf’s journey to the ground, the magic of music. Life is filled with moments of joy, experiencing the love life has for you. Allow it in and feel the joy of gratitude.

So, you see, the joy of living isn’t necessarily grand events, but every component, every part of life’s symphony. Service this evening is being one with the joy of living and donating that to everyone. Namaste.

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

, , , , ,

JANU:    Incarnate life is an opportunity to proceed along the lines of co-creation. Choices seem arbitrary until more awakening occurs and life can be understood in a fuller way as an opportunity to co-create. Cooperatively speaking, being conscious of your True Nature helps you be conscious of all that you are, including the incarnate experience. Cooperating with your own flow of life, consciously, is a more coordinated endeavor than being unconscious of it.

Now, gratitude for opportunity can be on a global basis, but moment by moment, day by day, it seems more real and immediate. Gratitude is a key to rejuvenation, clarity and the blessings of life. Gratitude is the whisper of hope to the rest of your being, which responds lovingly. Gratitude unites the elements of the moment, coordinates them, unifies them. It inspires others to see their lives in new ways, no longer limited to looking to the future for a better life, but finding the path to it in the moment.

Focusing on lack, disappointment, frustration, deprivation does not marshal that needed for opportunities to be understood, seen, and engaged. Gratitude is a joy-filled experience. All that you are benefits from this. Gratitude radiates and touches others. Namaste.
