JANU:   Attention should be given to the natural heritage that belongs to everyone to awaken to their own True Natures, to explore and serve life in this way.

Whatever their endeavor, it will be enhanced by way of greater insight and understanding as to the nature of circumstances. Goals will have deeper meaning. Others will be understood in subtle ways. Decisions will be wiser. Anticipations of a better life will be fulfilled. Any sense of being alone in life will slowly give way to belonging to a larger family and its collective wisdom. One’s own motivations will become more clearly understood. Caring about and for others will have added dimension. Creativity will blossom; conflicts giving way to mutual benefit. Realization of living as an energetic being in harmony with true power and the flow of life will become the way of life, for humans will have the benefit of the qualities of their own True Natures. And individual identity will give way to something much larger.

This and much more through the path of awakening and conscious reunion with all that you are. Namaste.

Understanding and experiencing the reality of the Larger Life sometimes challenges the individual’s sense of identity. There is definitely a need for shifting one’s identity, in order to fully experience different realities. In an effort to help the reader grasp some of the challenges and solutions, my journeys in awakening that deal specifically with identification are collected into this grouping: Identity within Awakening.

Elements of Awakening

, , , , ,

JANU:    Seeing the truth of things is a practicality you seek, for a life committed to taking journeys into awakening to the Larger Life. The practical result is wisdom, insight, awareness, consciousness expansion, the liberation of identity, and a deepening understanding of the self, of others, of society, the Earth and its creatures, the nature of everything. Wiser choices benefit everyone in your circle of influence through service.

Symbolism works best when there is not the need to verbalize their meanings, but when you allow your consciousness to be one with what the symbol represents. Words limit the experience and the understanding. But before the symbol existed, what it represents already was a reality. So the reality comes first, you see, and the symbol of it after. Symbols are only clues. Do not worship them. Be the truth of what they represent and you will know more than the words can say.

Experiences can be shared the same way with those who are awakening. Namaste.

Is the Larger Life formless?

Comments Off on Is the Larger Life formless?

Larger Family of Life

, , ,

JANU: To begin with, the Larger Life includes the third dimension physicality. So the answer to your question, “Is the Larger Life formless?” is ‘yes and no.’ It depends upon your perspective. If your perspective is physicality, human incarnation or otherwise, the answer is ‘No.’ But formlessness, or we should say form, has many realities. The physicality of form is derived from perception through the five senses of the parameters of physical existence. However, other realities have different perceptions, for the parameters of existence for those realities are unlike those of physicality; therefore, form exists there as well, but not substantial form from the human perspective. It is form perceived by senses beyond the five senses of physicality and those parameters of existence allow for more variability.

Now, senses of identity have similarities, though fixed in perception; therefore, moving the consciousness from one reality to another, it must make adjustments and not be anchored to one reality or another. The part of awakening, you see, is a liberation of conscious identity from any particular reality, for the freedom to be one with the reality of choice. The subtler the reality, the subtler the parameters of existence, and they give way to what you would call formlessness. For them, the perspective, the sense, is one of connectedness rather than identity.

Identity, you see, in the denser realities, becomes a sense of protection, of maintaining integrity, of protection and survival. It also isolates, to facilitate a journey of denser exploration and discovery. As the parameters of existence transcend limitation, liberation from identity is experienced, returning closer to the perception of one Life, of pure being, a threshold of experience even beyond this. One tends to perceive from identity perception that the postulate of an immense universe beyond the ken of human understanding is reality beyond knowing, yet in the Larger Life it is understood and seen as a limited view.

Yes, anticipate as you awaken, a changing perception of form, identity, limitation, isolation, unity, oneness, intimacy, being, and even beyond cosmic reality. No need to explore all of this in one sojourn. But brings peace to inquiry as to the nature of life and its vastness, all coexisting.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

, , , , ,

JANU: Exploring consciousness is exploring the presence of life in everything, every reality. Yes, even past, present and future. Life exists. Human conscious is one thing. Animal consciousness another. Earth consciousness another. Solar consciousness another. Solar system consciousness another. Light, the Truth of Life, is conscious. If this be so, what possible relationships can exist consciously between human consciousness and everything else, everyone else, every reality? The so-called modern magicians who manipulate matter are exploring this consciousness. Some are aware of the dynamics, the reality of that relationship. Some less.

Human potential of experiencing consciousness of their species, of their environment, of other realities moves beyond personal identity to cosmic consciousness. Many would ask, “How does one begin this journey?” By understanding their own, exploring it, experiencing its capabilities and its presence, by experiencing its response to desires, interests, questions, wonderings, observations of life around them and the interactions. Patterns after patterns of life in motion.

Questions are a powerful force. They are part of a mind that is opening, considering possibilities, experiencing something new. Revelations of truths behind current perceptions. Nothing fixed or locked but everything in motion in ways yet to be understood. Connecting with every part of life, every part of creation in a more intimate way. Being aware of something is one thing. Being aware as something is quite another. Identity shifting, expansion, even progressing to the point of no identity at all, opens the consciousness to the rest of life. Start your journey by asking a question on a subject of sincere interest, and listen, knowing that an answer, a response, already exists. Namaste.

Can life be defined?

Comments Off on Can life be defined? 

Miscellaneous Journeys

, ,

JANU:   The scope of consciousness is limited only by the scope of perception or identity. Does life itself have limits? Yes and no. Limits within its expressions, but not its potential. For how does one define life, in its fullest reality? Certainly not by dimensions, for there is life beyond these. Even ‘freedom to be’ suggests choices and identities, but life is beyond identity. What does ‘me’ mean?

There are reasons for limitations, no matter the reality, and for perceptions of identity, but there is life larger than these. Being ‘conscious of’ and being ‘conscious as’ is a spectrum of life, but not being limited by either of these does not negate their usefulness and their reality.

How does one ponder an expression of life and not be contained by it? What is life? Namaste.

Comments Off on Dynamics of awakening

Elements of Awakening

, ,

JANU: What dynamics are involved in the movement of consciousness into the so-called unknown?

  • One is the wonderment of observing another on their adventure and the beauty and magic of their experience and creations.
  • Another is the possibility of your own imagination of new possibilities or abilities coming true.
  • For some, it is being part of sharing something wonderful with others.
  • The first experience of “freedom through understanding” has a strong attraction to continue.
  • The mysteries of Life can be revealed from within. Revelation of who you are makes more and more clear that path of change, which is filled with challenges.

Many dynamics on the path of awakening. No matter what is achieved, there is always more. And one realizes this is a path of living without end. Awakening is very dynamic, more so than an incarnate life that is not free.

Being more conscious with a growing identity and appreciation of the magic and mystery of life is what some might call addictive, but it is an addiction of love, fulfillment, and giving. Life is beautiful. Prove it to yourself by experiencing it. Namaste.

The nature of the True Nature

True Nature & Incarnate Life

, , , , ,

JANU: Exploring the True Nature from the perspective of the human consciousness is an uplifting journey into the larger reality of being. The True Nature is not described by incarnate parameters of existence. It is described by the richness and diversity of life itself and words do not contain this. So, exploring the True Nature is a journey of consciousness experience, of letting go of the limitations of incarnate ego identity and embracing an unlimited presence in the flow of life. In due course, the experience deepens to an expanding identity and a realization that everything you embrace, you touch with consciousness. It is part of you from a much larger inclusive sense of being.

The limited perceptions of dichotomy, duality, are perceived as minor realities that only exist in incarnate life. These are not judged or condemned in any way. They just are, as an interim experience on the incarnate journey.  An experience of pure being, not needing identity, realizing that any identity is that of Life itself and even beyond. Identity uncontained, yet to be realized more and more fully. And this includes the reality, the presence of other True Natures, beyond any species identity.

The growing freedom of being, the incarnate life a path of exploration and experience to gain wisdom and understanding of part of a larger Life. The True Nature being the source of the incarnate consciousness but so much more. Namaste.

Comments Off on The what and why of identity 

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , ,

JANU: The essence of existence portrays life not unlike a hologram. The sense of physicality while incarnate is limited perception, for the true nature of physical existence is patterned energy that belongs to a range of patterns of energy of many other existences, other realities, other dimensions some would call, other parameters of existence. So, what does one identify with? What is the True Nature in the presence of these energy patterns? Is it the consciousness? Is it more than that?

We have long held the perception that the nature of life stirs the pot, so to speak, of the energy of all existence, a coexistent swirl of potential with the ability to co-create throughout that domain. So, once again, what does it mean, what is the reality of identity? This suggests that identity is nebulous. It changes, it evolves, it expands, and at times contracts, yet is flowing. So living in the Now has its appeal. Within the sense of incarnate identity, there are boundaries, time and distance constraints. But that is only part of the perception of identity.

And what does the sense of identity serve? It is a foundation for exploration, comparisons, feedback of expression and experience. As a descriptor for continuation, identity is useful. But do not become contained by the sense of it. Namaste.

More on the nature of conscious union

Comments Off on More on the nature of conscious union

Miscellaneous Journeys

, ,

JANU: The journey begins of discovery of the nature of being. The larger reality of our nature extends beyond limited concepts, the limited perceptions of incarnate consciousness including time/space, limits and borders, contained identities. The journey into incarnation, although engaged by many, is also avoided by many for it is an experience of limitation, confusion. Modeled by so many with alternatives to reality touted as if they were the way to achieve the return to the glory of the larger nature of being.

The journey of return to conscious union instills a fear of the unknown and the loss of identity one has become used to. The devil you know, so to speak. Embracing union into the larger reality of your own nature is the path of freedom, of a greater wisdom and more intimate relationship consciously with all of life. Why would one fear expanding a limited identity into one that is who you are? The conscious mind is just becoming more conscious, seeing life as it already is.

The journey into incarnate life and its consciousness, its identity, brings focus to that which is unlimited. Quite a shift, you see. The reality is one can be both because one is both, and more. Be steadfast, committed, patient, at peace, and grateful for what you have desired longer than you realize. Conscious union while incarnate is a journey many have taken and are still achieving. We are in good company. Namaste.
