Exploring identity

JANU:    Personal identity is a mixed bag, for varying degrees of identity and types of identity exist among people. To identify as one race or another can even fly in the face of physical reality. Many causes are fueled by senses of identity. Conflicts between genders, races, economic status, realities, politics, romance, even artistic abilities are fueled by different shapes of identity. And these change, providing a myriad of interpretations and expressions.

So the question becomes “Who are you, in this moment, in this circumstance, in these relationships?” Probably wise to say that your identity is what you choose in the moment, based upon personal agendas, social pressures, degree of awakening and understanding. So, grow in the freedom to identify as you choose, reaping those benefits or challenges, free to experiment with realities of identification, testing the waters socially and introspectively.

“Who are you?” then is a question for the moment. And what are the complex identities and their relationships that exist in that moment? Are you identified with your experiences or more towards your True Nature? And what is that? What’s the reality of it in your life, in your consciousness? What levels of familiarity exist in conscious relationship?

Much to explore in the world of identity. Find wisdom, richness, peace and joy in the quest. Namaste.

Simultaneous and coexistent realities

JANU: ‘Being here now’ brings focus to memories, traditions, influences, and distractions. It is in keeping with being in step with the flow of life, meaning the changes and evolution in relationships, patterns of existence, and the realization of potential. ‘Being present’ forms this reality.

So let us look at being present in the Now. The next issue becomes scale, on what scale one observes anything. This varies, of course, depending upon the observation. Consciousness not being limited to time/space leaves the door open for unlimited excursions into possibilities, many of which are simultaneous. This is a fresh look upon the nature of existence and unlimited interactions and influences.

Can life paths be varied and simultaneous? Expanding consciousness to include larger realities reveals this possibility. In many ways, your own incarnate existence at this time exists this way. Simultaneous paths of awareness are more realistic in observing life than the linear ‘one thing going on after another’ approach. Simultaneous coexistence is reality unlimited by duality consciousness, seemingly isolated from the complex flows of life.

One of many new avenues we shall pursue. Namaste.

Learning from a non-technical life

JANU:    Building blocks in understanding others’ and your own motivations. Let us speak of this in terms of more sophistication. Interaction with the Larger Life promotes expansion and knits the building blocks together into a larger foundation. The sophistication we speak of is the merging of these into larger understanding. So building blocks trigger more profound experience.

This one you ponder, bereft of technology, finds herself compensating in other ways. For many, technology is a distraction from Essential Nature. So she asks herself the deeper questions: “Who am I?” “What is real?” “What more is there?” She is aware of others judging her for seeming lack of interest in the technical life, but she has her reality to explore and find meaning. So learn from this one of her reality. Namaste.

Becoming ‘conscious as’

JANU: ‘Conscious of’ is founded in boundaries, isolated identities, limited perception. ‘Conscious as’ shares more than understanding, but a union as life itself. ‘Conscious as’ experiences being part of everything, and everything being part of you. Not just connection, but a more inclusive identity. Evolving together, benefiting from each other’s potential, discoveries, experiences. Yes, unique expressions of oneness, not just one or the other, you see. Coexisting realities. Not just being in the same room at the same time as someone else, but coexisting. Experiencing this is a teacher.

Experience is always a teacher. ‘Conscious as’—experiencing not only the reality of another but the reality of everything. Who and what you are is so much more. The veil no longer a thing but a perception that is changing, giving way to the freedom of universal being.

Much to explore here, and experience—becoming conscious as. Namaste.

The magic and power of kindness

JANU: Kindness is the key when opening the door to communication. Empathy, understanding, lowers the human defense shields from each other. Trust ensues. Openness to follow. Honesty, for there is an innate desire in others to judge another’s understanding with their own, partly for validation, also for clarity and new insights. Patience, listening. Everything you value from others, they value from you.

When one feeds an animal, it is seen as kindness, safety, looking forward to the next encounter. Fear diminishes, replaced by trust. An innate desire to return the kindness.

Kindness speaks volumes. Do so without agenda, freely. Cherish it, for it is life speaking to life. It is magical in its power to communicate. There are always opportunities for this. It brings great peace to one’s own life. Everyone benefits. Namaste.

We are all part of each other

JANU:    It is true, we are indeed part of each other in the wholeness of life. The natural caring, one for another, is from this reality. The quality of that caring is developed through the raising of consciousness: being aware of more of life, what it includes, its potential, its relationships, its oneness. Being part of someone else’s life is enhanced through mastership of your own. The same applies to them, you see. So, as one evolves the opportunities for involvement are enhanced in others. Realizing the connection of this brings peace and purpose to one’s existence.

So, in a sense, we are all related, whether incarnate or not. We of the Brotherhood understand this and this is why we perceive everyone as part of us. Oneness, uniqueness, brotherhood, caring, coexistence, service, mutual realization of potential, and awakening to the larger life are included. Find peace in this, and purpose, and justification for your journey of awakening. Namaste.

Universal consciousness

JANU:    Universal consciousness is the purview of the Family of Life, all that is known. No announcements needed. Attune to what already exists. Nothing to create. The human consciousness struggles to achieve what has always been. Allow memory. Memories of experience, of relationships, of understanding, many worlds, many realities, many sojourns. Whatever your attention is on, you are connected to, in both directions, you see. Yes, there is kindness everywhere. Namaste.

More exploration of integrity

JANU: We do stand in our integrity, not just a foundation for existence but a point of embarkation to embrace the rest of life and its integrity.

Life does have integrity, which supports its evolution and realization of potential. Integrity belongs to a genre of life that focuses relationship and all of life has relationship, for all of life is one and no part of it is alone. Integrity has a voice and the voice is simple, with the fundamental truth: We are one.

Even corruption and recycling of creation has integrity, for life creates by recycling, re-creating, and modification. Part of exploring potential, with redirection when chosen.

Integrity allows for intimate and accurate feedback and revelation. Integrity is peaceful, balanced, yet diverse and inclusive. Integrity challenges misguidance, manipulation, and false witness. Integrity reveals layers of reality for any life expression.

Creation has structures. Integrity is in harmony with them. Yet everything is in motion and changing, even integrity. Namaste.

Happiness and humor

JANU: Humor is an integral element of a balanced life. It brings lightheartedness and an easy, flowing manner of exploration. Seriousness is appropriate at times, but humor should always be available. It calms and balances conflicts, uncertainties, and doubt. The phrase “laughing at one’s self” is of great value. Better even still, laughing with yourself. It is never a so-called putdown, you see. It lifts. The two are so intertwined in the reality of the Larger Life that the incarnate life, so often seriously taken, would do well to be infused with these qualities.

There is much that is worthy of humor, worthy of humorous perspective. Happiness and humor are good partners. They are a taste of true freedom. They open the consciousness to the richness of being. Lightheartedness floats, so to speak, in the sea of life, moves freely in harmony with the flow of life, its many currents and eddies. They see life as wholesome, healthy, and wise. When expressed, they are infectious to others, for it is in their nature to appreciate the influence from within themselves and be reminded. Even the creatures of the Earth respond well to a happy and joyful presence. Playfulness ensues.

Seriousness seems powerful but it is limited. It’s confining. It is focused and narrow. Happiness and lightheartedness open the consciousness to unlimited possibilities. These attributes we speak of do not replace commitment, dedication, intimacy, while engaging life and its possibilities. So, allow humor into your observations as you experience more and more of life. The Larger Life includes the incarnate reality. Experience all of life in this way and true peace seems more natural and present. Namaste.

Building blocks of intimacy & identity

JANU:  We are foundation laying once more on our journey of awakening to the Larger Life. What meaning then can be gleaned from this journey?

It is a larger expression in the mastering of the incarnate life for, without this, mastership is incomplete. For they are one, coexisting, interrelated, holistic in nature, inseparable. Only in perception are they separated. Focusing on the incarnate life by way of the veil brings intimacy and identification with an experience. The same applies in the Larger Life. Intimacy and identification are some of the building blocks to a larger expression of one’s Nature.

This is normal ‘beingness’ but not that common yet. But humanity is moving in this direction. More and more unlimited as experiences and understanding deepen and broaden. Incarnate life is part of the Larger Life. Giving up on it is not an option. It will always be a part of who you are, for you are embued with the experience and the wisdom gained. Relationships matter. They form bonds, chains of connection, find expression in other realities and venues of life, including the incarnate life.

Intimacy and identity with life opportunities are profound connections on the path of mastery. Embrace everything masterfully. Yes, even your integrity is evolving. Live your life more fully every day. Discover and experience what that means. Own it all, which is a never-ending quest, for life is evolving—all of it. Namaste.
