Owning memories

JANU: We exploring the memories that occur to you, and, for this exploration, those that you would change. But change them not, our brother. They are your journey through life, pearls of experience containing wisdom and understanding. Be grateful to have had them, for they speak of the human condition and the life that ensues from the evolution of consciousness. Be grateful and move on, knowing that there is no right or wrong to these, good or bad. They are experience and, in their way, reveal your future. They inspire new vision, commitment, purpose, different steps on your path of exploring life. Be aware of the fruits of these moments. You are divine being, spirit being.

Would you have a lifetime with nothing to learn from? Nothing to reveal choices? Own your memories. They enrich your life, your consciousness, no matter the memory. Through these you can love others as they are, with compassion, patience. Love yourself the same way. All of these, whether violent or not, enrich you. Do not reject them, or put your stamp of approved or disapproved on them. You have grown greatly from them. This is true for everyone, our brother.

Find peace in your integrity, no matter what. Bring joy where you may, forgiveness where you may, understanding where you may. Reflect what you’ve learned for others to see themselves in the mirror of life. And life is a mirror to see truly what is. Everything is all right in the presence of your honesty and truthfulness and love. Namaste, our brother.

Gratitude

JANU: ‘Tis the season of gratitude. Gratitude is like a magic wand. It blesses everything it touches, brings light and life to loneliness, indifference. It rejuvenates. What better thing to do on Christmas!

Being grateful for your own life, for each day, enriches that life. Being grateful magnifies the gift of another and enriches it. There is cause for gratitude always, not just because it’s a good thing to do but because you want to and lifts another. It is part of your nature. Namaste.

The pursuit of happiness

JANU:    Elemental though it may seem, the pursuit of happiness is a powerful journey and it belongs to everyone. The pursuit and realization of happiness supports everything included in your life.

You ask, “What is happiness, then, that is such a powerful element of living?” It contains exuberance, sense of freedom, a love for all possibilities that enrich your life. It is the elementals of your existence, the principles at peace with each other, full of life, confident and generous to others. Happiness naturally is open to sharing for benefit and enjoys the happiness of others, especially their release from the entanglements of their own choosing.

You ask, ”How does one pursue happiness, then?” It is a transition by choice from a gloomy, trouble-filled life to the peace of true freedom. Freedom from restrictions, rules and regulations imposed by society, by those who have yet to achieve the freedom we speak of, a society where people do not trust each other, full of suspicion and fear. When you choose to walk the life, the inner life, true freedom is found.

A happy person has a rich humor, patience, tolerance, and refuses to be entangled by the complexities of life or owned by them. They are not ignorant of these things. They appreciate very well what they lead to. But they choose to cope with life and its complexities with a light heart, a clear mind, and a confidence in a bright future. They easily see solutions where others do not. Happy people enjoy good health, for in a very real way, every element of their being enjoys this happiness as well.

Choose to be a happy person and others will be drawn to this, for they long for it as well. Help them understand who they are and what they are capable of. It is far easier and more natural to create a life of lightness than one of darkness, which must be maintained at every turn and is rich with self-destructive elements. A life of happiness does not need constant repair. It is in harmony with the flow of life and Life itself.

Choose to see viable, healthy solutions to challenges, to opportunities, to relationships, and to your understanding of that which is unknown to you, soon to be revealed. Grow in your awareness of what draws you into, and keeps you in, a life of darkness: isolation, confusion, frustration. The alternative, our brother, is very powerful and life-sustaining. Be at peace. Live in happiness. Be a light to others. And be grateful you have lived. Namaste.

The power and magic of gratitude

JANU: Being enamored of living is a joyous path. Many concerned with survival, power struggles, manipulation, greed miss the opportunity to be enamored of the Truth of Life. Being grateful for your next breath becomes clear when it is not there. A sunrise that’s not there. Love from another that’s not there. The warmth of the sun, the refreshing breeze, the basic comforts, peace of mind, the joy of discovery, the miracle of being, when not there bring gratitude for these things. Why be grateful for that which appears regularly, naturally, every day? Need there be a lack in your life to appreciate the abundance of its presence? Even when discarnate, the miracles of life abound. A moment of gratitude reveals more and more reasons to be grateful.

The process of life itself unfolding holds its own beauty. This process can be observed and understood in everything. The physical body you have borrowed for a time has its own beauty of life process. Expect miracles, but take nothing for granted. And the gratitude awakens you to so much more.

You seek peace of mind, balance, and well-being. The gratitude we speak of brings this. The constant searching for more and more is from a lack of gratitude for what is. When filled with gratitude, the emptiness disappears and the greater miracles of life continue. So continue a grateful relationship with life.

This is a powerful consciousness. It connects you with all of life and brings a bounty not designed by you but created by you through gratitude. “What are you grateful for today?” is the question. Namaste.

Awakening is a process of allowing

JANU:    Let us begin then by stating that the richness of life of each sojourn is influenced greatly by the inner awakening. Now, when we speak of the veil from the beginning of the sojourn, it does not close off conscious awareness of your True Nature completely.

The purpose of the ‘still, small voice,’ so-called, is to maintain the connection, for a variety of reasons. The instincts, the insights, of the youth are a response to this. Those who are older have forgotten and the connection is more vague to the human consciousness. The effort to rejoin this ‘still, small voice’ and its inspiration, its guidance, occurs for some later in life and, once begun, becomes a fairly constant pursuit for the richness it brings. And its strength grows in life as the veil diminishes, for with this comes the understanding to commit to a richer incarnate life and lessens the urge to depart from incarnation, envisioning greater freedom, a utopia.

We are not suggesting here premature awakening, but a growing maturity to include this in the life, bringing insight and sensitivity to the truth of everything. Realize that life is process and moving with the flow of life is not a function of ‘pushing’ but more a sense of allowing richness into your life, allowing awakening, with patience but expectancy, confidence, and gratitude.
