Happiness

JANU:   The fundamentals of life achieved recently in understanding—the realization of potential, wisdom, conscious union—can contribute to happiness because of the harmony with the flow of life. Finding peace and happiness in the moment is achievable without struggle or effort by letting go of the structures in life that interfere: greed, lust, violence, avarice, sense of depravation or unworthiness. Harmony and happiness, peace, are natural gifts of being. Feeling worthy with a birthright brings confidence, peace of mind, and openness to the flow of life filled with gifts and opportunities. The systems of physical life, thoughts and emotions, thoughts of giving and uplifting have always been there and others have always been ready and willing to exchange them. Each day is filled with opportunity to be kind, even to those who don’t seem to respond similarly. “Humankind”* a powerful sentiment to live by. Namaste.

Being conscious as Life 

JANU: ‘Realizing’ is the key word here. When does one realize something they didn’t before, or that they had forgotten and misplaced? What is the key to awareness and understanding? It is to embrace reality, to own it. That it lives within your experience, that it has byproducts in your life, and that it enriches another. And what leads to these? Life realizing potential.

Creativity has a spark, an initiator or an initiating. A magic of life is creativity. So what is the source of this with a quest to explore? Imagination, wonderment. A thirst for one person could be a memory for another, but it is no less a wonderment, no less magical, and no less a blessing.

We all need each other. It takes all of us to explore life. To see each other in this way: What do you know that I don’t, yet? What has your life included that you are moving on from? What have I forgotten over many sojourns, and between them?

Life is a teacher. It is how it expands, enriches itself. It takes all of life—every nuance, every motion—to embrace, retain, and expand upon its journey. Every moment has value. Recognize enrichment for what it is. Be grateful for the opportunity to discover and improve your life and someone else’s, whatever that looks like.

Being at peace is a life in harmony and in motion. Be conscious of its presence, its vitality, its motion, and its love. Namaste.

Living peacefully, with love and light

JANU:    The basic nature of life includes all forms of love and light. Love such as kindness, generosity, forgiveness, peace, patience, tolerance. Light such as understanding, insight, Truth of Life. Harmonious existence, beingness, and expression to inspire self-redemption for everyone. Clarity of perception, discernment, being true to one’s self and each other, integrity, mutual benefit, nurturing. One does not create these qualities. One allows being these. With generosity, these all exist in a form of potential manifestation, through desire.

 Love and understanding derive their power from the True Nature of Life. They give but not take from. They receive from their own kind in the True Nature of Life. The archetype of peace: a harmonious relationship between all the systems of life. A foundation to embrace life’s opportunities, the results of which meet all challenges to evolution. Living peacefully brings enrichment and new opportunities for their involvement. Being at peace. Namaste.

What is journeying?

JANU: Summing up, if you will, a peaceful negotiation to the protocols of harmony, prolonged communication, and our best performance on the quest for the Truth of Life and a destiny of evolving. Let us explore the conditions of life, the flow of life, the nature of everything, and by this we mean the relationships of all things to each other. Life is symmetry and an evolving diversity. Together, it brings about change, the expression of creativity, freedom, organization, limitlessness with patterns, purpose with wonder and amazement.

Being conscious is life in motion. Asking the questions, inquiries, is evidence of this. Insights are the responses. Be open to discovery and understanding. Let us continue in this direction. Namaste.

Mutual enrichment

JANU:   Mutual enrichment is the theme here, the alternative to wars, violent conflict, partisan politics at the expense of the community, of the people. Mutual enrichment belongs to a path of life discovered on other worlds that benefits everyone and reinforces resilience to the challenges of life. Many do not feel resilient or see a path to this. What they see is chaos, disorder, conflicts of interest, and certainly not peace or harmony among the systems of life.

Mutual enrichment includes all of the systems of life, in one form or another. Enrichment is not limited to physicality but to consciousness on all levels. Mutual enrichment comes from a different perspective, a different attitude about the reason for living, the opportunity of living, the destiny of living. Overcoming challenges strengthens the reality of this. Resources for enrichment are depleted in the presence of conflict, violence, struggles for individual power.

Life is rich with opportunity. Inner wisdom is a profound resource not consciously embraced by most. Because of this fragility a few can take advantage of the many, not realizing how they diminish true enrichment. Life is sustainable when being in harmony with it, for nature has its own integrity of existence.

Israel and Palestine are an example to learn from. Surviving with others paying the price is not success, but wasteful of opportunity. Focusing on mutual enrichment brings revelation into these elements of success, when this takes place.

Being on the path of mutual enrichment enriches everyone’s harmony of their systems of life. Namaste.

A balanced approach to exploring other cultures

JANU:   This does open up the possibilities somewhat for exploration, for your world has experienced the cultures of those with understanding and demonstration in those areas yet realized by your current society, you see. There have been pockets of culture or civilization not large enough to be recognized as a nation or a country that have exhibited profound or transcendent relationship and understanding. These pockets are scattered around the world. Some exist today. many have long since disappeared, you see. And, yes, there have been those who have come and gone to your world, moving on to other adventures, multi-dimensionally speaking. There have been those called world shapers or world planners that introduce new possibilities of understanding or redirect or shape the direction of understanding in existing cultures, you see. There are many of those in your society today that if they possessed this ability to  move about and influence would spin, so to speak, and overwhelm the culture, to where it would lose its bearing, its identity, and ultimately its will to stand as co-creator with life. Much to be learned from this enlightened approach to assisting others when dealing with other cultures in your world at this time, one to another.

Let us examine, then, this range of possibilities, for the benefits of awareness of the realities of other cultures of other worlds have already been visited upon you, some in ways you may never realize their origins. Others, suspicions grow that this is so, among your researchers.

How, then, do you offer a new possibility to another? Examine this carefully. Do you do it honoring and understanding their nature and their path to their current experience? Or do you do it only from the conviction of your own? Do you monitor carefully that your method and your suggestion bears fruit in harmony with the soul desires and patterns of those you would assist, according to their timetable and not yours? Do you encourage in such a way that they will grow to eventually understand and embrace you and others with understanding, self-assuredness, and ownership of their being in truth as free beings? Examine your motivation to assist another and grow in sensitivity and awareness to the motivations you would welcome in those other cultures that might assist you.

One advantage of this other world/other culture examination is to assist in the long or larger view of possibilities and outcomes. For we speak here of the lifetime of worlds and many cultures and not the advantage of one over another, you see. The flow of life, has many tributaries and many directions and is in constant change. And these tributaries are all connected in some way. One stream leads to another and another and another. When you connect with the life of another world’s culture, do you not connect with their connections, as well? And, of course, they connect with you, too, and your understandings. As you would gain from another culture’s path and experience, with the same joy and enthusiasm, are you equally as eager to be a blessing for them as well? And as our dear brother Ramtha has said, “Each are givers and blessed in the giving.”

This approach this morning is for the purpose of laying the foundation for the exploration and embrace of these realities for successful outcome. When you reach for the life understanding of another, do you reach to receive only or to give? Let that be your conviction and your declaration at the onset, you see. And do this with your neighbor as well. To take only, spirals downward and withdraws in on itself. When mutual assistance takes place, it expands and grows, with endless possibilities. So connect with life in this way, dear one, when you reach for the stars, when you reach for the truth of your being, and when you connect with your neighbor.

Let us proceed in this manner in these future journeys and we will expand into limitless possibilities. This is a good beginning and foundation. Namaste.

Reason

JANU:   To employ reason in the midst of disorder begins with perception of one’s own thoughts and processes. The question is “What works for you? What is practical? What stimulates insight, breakthrough understandings?” It is a relationship, whether conscious of or not, between the personality, the ego, the incarnate mind, emotions, and other qualities and the True Nature and its perception and relationship with the Larger Life. Any unreasonable reality seems not in harmony with this. In other words, it doesn’t work for you…yet.

You will find that as you mature in wisdom and experience, the line between reasonable and unreasonable shifts. One’s consciousness matures as awakening becomes more inclusive. One can perceive the relationship of everything to everything. For as one forms distinctions between the two, one must grow in openness to be more inclusive in the range of perception as life as it is and is becoming. Final conclusions of observation must be in motion as well, to evolve in wisdom. Namaste.

Living in the Now with freedom 

JANU: The Light is descending upon the reality of the moment, perception of which begins with the freedom of being. To many, this is a fearsome possibility, for the unknown in the veiled existence has much uncertainty. Confidence in the freedom of being is found in the conviction, the hope and desire that freedom brings the truth, the diversity of life, the ongoingness of life, with strength and beauty, clarity and joy, understanding, peace and love. The incarnate life has all of these but the challenges are not seen for what they are, only as confusion, frustration, and life being against you.

Freedom is powerful, indestructible, full of conviction, confidence, and determination. It is in harmony with the Truth of Life. Living in the Now, perceiving in the Now, expressing in the Now shines light upon all of life. Choose to see into the truth of everything. No one is ever alone in this. All of life is connected. Embrace the Family of Life. Namaste.

Living in the Now

JANU: Consciously living in the Now reveals the Now reality of the flow of life where past, future, and present are one. There is a profound peace in this, for focusing upon that which has happened and that which is yet to happen is living in the past and the future.

Being in harmony with life is being in the Now. Healthy body and healthy consciousness find their balance and harmony in the present. Intimacy with life is in the present. Forgiveness, love, harmony, the richness of life is in the present. Life in the present has no need for wars, manipulation, repression, violence, deception because in the present the truest reality exists, as is the consciousness of Life itself.

Live each day to the fullness of this. Your intuition, your True Nature, the Truth of Life are always present. Become aware of the total you and live life as that. Namaste.

 The concept of ‘living in the Now’ has been a recurring one. So much so that a collection of journeys titled The NOW has been compiled, which the reader may wish to peruse.

Theorizing

JANU: ‘Exploring the richness of life’ has many connotations, some physical, some energetic, some consciousness, some theoretical, some scientific, and some social. What we explore today is theoretical.

Theoretical physics dominates the scientific community, for it is based upon third dimensional understanding of reality. Exploring beyond the envelope of conventional wisdom and experience opens doors through theoretical postulates into possibilities yet explored or understood. The richness here is the open door, the inquiring mind, the experimental nature and creativity.

Some would contend that theory is vague, misty, unproven, not demonstrable or repeatable. But that’s not its purpose, you see. Its purpose is to explore the unknown, to wonder about life, to stretch the imagination and the consciousness, to explore with collaboration, cooperation, and sharing. What we speak to here is potential, on every level. Theoretical approach to discovery and exploration is in harmony with life in motion. It stretches everything in the human experience and eliminates stagnation.

It is life in motion. New designs, new creations, new understandings, new standards of living, new health benefits, new prosperity, new freedoms begin with theory, wonder, and possibility. This is part of the richness of life. Namaste.
