JANU: Breaching the divide produced by the veil is a monumental concern when considering awakening. The consciousness embraced in incarnate life has much to evolve into to breach the veil. It stands to reason that the challenges are many to merge the two in understanding and even-mindedness. ‘Flipping of a switch’ is not realistic. Maintaining perspective that is balanced, healthy, and at peace is crucial. Trust in the wisdom of the True Nature and the Orders of Life is wise. We of the Brotherhood, including our Nature, are united in this. The so-called masses have a tradition in this direction most are unaware of. Fear has no place in this. Choose understanding. Namaste.

Loving from perspective of integrated being
JANU: Loving others from the perspective of integrated being–True Nature engaged–allows perception of them as oneself. What they are living is only part of who they are and temporary. This allows others in their own consciousness to be perceived without bias, but within their understanding. Holding each other dear as a complete being encourages embracing life, including incarnate life, with a growing clarity. Everyone benefits. Move slowly but consistently in this direction. Namaste.

The answers will come
JANU: Reaching then into the enormous diversity of life that is humanity, let us bespeak of the main categories: relationships, survival, understanding and discovering, exploration into the nature of existence, and self-conscious awakening. Peace amongst all of these is a prerequisite for integration, symmetry, harmony, mutual benefit. Much of this is achievable short of conscious awakening, but the deeper and larger perspective of the oneness of life can be a mystery. Tantalizing are the ever-present hints of this, the suspicions, the inklings, the nagging wonderment.
Incarnate life can be rich, rewarding, fulfilling to a degree, but there comes the time, or times, when the questions linger but the answers seem distant. So the quest continues and life is always larger than the questions. The asking is a vehicle, looking for direction and destiny. We look for help from each other, for we are all the same and unique and the answers encompass all of these.
Be at peace in the asking. The answers come. Namaste.

Why do we exist?
JANU: A valid question. Why be incarnate at all? Purpose, potential, service, evolution, consciousness, kindness, inspiration. All of these, and more, are part of incarnate life. Each with their roots in the Larger Life, as are everyone. The challenge of the veil is to encourage the building of a foundation for the quest of a larger experience and understanding. Without being aware of it, the gains in these areas, through living the incarnate life, benefit the Larger Life as well. Fundamental qualities of existence coexist and inspire each other through the revelation of mutual benefit.
Valid questions for everyone: “Why am I here? Where did I come from? And how does it all interact?” The mix is not the same for everyone, but everyone enriches life. The interactions with each other while incarnate are co-creative experiences, creating life patterns that coexist as well, that interact as well.
Other inquiries are: Who is doing all of this? What is true identity? How do individuality and coexistence relate? Is all of this possible peacefully? What is the source of the incentive to continue? Are we ever truly alone? Is there really a Family of Life?
Everyone has access to these understandings if they desire them. Let it be so. Namaste.

The True Nature and the Larger Life
JANU: Organization as such has an interesting relationship with the Larger Life where everything co-exists with its own potential and destiny. The conscious physical mind has a tendency towards structure, priorities, empirical data, order, sequence. But there is more to reality than that, meaning that limiting your perceptions and experiences to that framework is limited.
What of more unlimited reality? How does one relate to that, find meaning, sensibility, and productive experience? One does so by being conscious, in conscious harmony with the Nature of their being that exists in this way. The larger individual reality is not limited to time/space but co-exists with it, allowing for expansion of experience and consciousness to the incarnate awareness. When exercised, perception of light, being, and presence becomes more fluid, more co-existent, more interactive, more layers of relationship. Even time and distance no longer limit, for life is larger than these but includes them.
So awakening, you see, is in addition to current incarnate consciousness, not taking the place of it but adding to it. So, the human consciousness co-mingles with the Larger Life, giving more depth and perspective to incarnate existence. Realize, then, that consciousness beyond incarnate life, before and after, is not so limited but is, in fact, who you are. Awakening has always been available to the incarnate experience, but has not always been known of as reality, as present, as coexisting with the human experience.
Life is vast, diverse, evolving, powerful, coexistent, relateable. The limited incarnate experience need not remain limited. That was a choice agreed to by your own being when incarnating. A temporary experience. The incarnate journey is full of wonder and discovery. The Larger Life journey is so much more and brings adventure to the incarnate life.
Your journey into awakening is wisely directed by your True Nature. What has your interest cared for more fully than the rest of who you are? From that conscious connection and reality, explore the rest of life, including the physical one. Namaste.

Adding the Larger Life to the incarnate life
JANU: The elements of life of a sojourn are not preordained but subject to life patterns that have been created, innate potential based on many factors. The decision, the commitment to incarnate belongs to the tried and true desire to explore.
This plane of existence called ‘third dimensional’ is one of many, but wisdom gained while incarnate is unique to that reality. Therefore, the desire to evolve, expand the wisdom of the True Nature makes incarnation interesting. The goals are not set in stone. The opportunities and challenges vary. Choice pervades everything. Where is discovery when all is known in advance? So see each day as having possibilities to be explored.
Yes, the Larger Life coexists but it is only separate from third dimensional reality by the perception of physical identity. Even though the five senses dominate perception, the larger consciousness still coexists and is knowable. As one explores incarnate life, endeavor to make wise choices. Attune to the larger You to assist. One is never truly alone for there is far more of ‘who you are’ than many know. Be encouraged by the love of your True Nature, its wisdom, its patience, its oneness with the rest of life, because it is who you are. Namaste.

The sun is setting on ignorance
JANU: Realize this, then, that there is coming the setting sun upon ignorance, the divisive methods of controlling each other. Ignorance leads to destructive behavior and mis-creation. The incarnate life will expand beyond the veil, bringing with it insights, intuitions, moments of realization and clarity. It is not the intent or the design of incarnate life to perpetuate ignorance, but to promote opportunities to climb the ladder of understanding into the light of awakening. A beginning desire is all it takes, and a willingness to embrace the truth of your being.
Though make no mistake: ignorance is being challenged, even with the veil, as insights inspire the reaching for more and deeper understanding. The attention turns from the mundane to the esoteric and the nature of life. The physical body is an instrument of expression to experience and engage the incarnate journey. Powers of perception beyond the five physical senses is part of everyone’s nature. Not to replace the five senses while incarnate, but to enhance and support the experience from a larger perspective. That that has been hidden is revealed. Namaste.

More on the nature of conscious union
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.

Consciousness as all that you are
JANU: Coexistence, then, means just that. The veil gives the illusion or impression that incarnate life and the Larger Life, the True Nature, are separated in some way. They are not. You exist holistically while an incarnation is an added dimension or element of experience and consciousness. One does not need to leave the body to exist spiritually. One already does. Most are not conscious of this, and this is why awakening serves you.
As the veil dissipates, one’s identity expands to include all that they are. That includes incarnate consciousness as well. The beauty of this journey is the destiny that unfolds. A complete consciousness as all that you are deepens and broadens not just the understanding of existence, but the embrace and experience of relationship with more of life. Awakening is natural, individual, liberating, empowering.
Life ‘as it is’ is life as you are. One does not have to create what one already is. Just become conscious of it and live life in a larger way. When one loves oneself as they are, it is natural to love others as they are, free to enjoy the journey of destiny supported by one’s potential. And even that evolves, you see. Life is rich, and so are you.

Aging body–still a youthful adventurer
JANU: We are enabled once more to continue to promote the ongoingness of life and its true nature. Incarnate life is beset with a sense of time, beginnings and endings, time progressions, loss of opportunities, inadequacy, and unattainable distances. What we speak of here is the Larger Life, which understands all of these and experiences them through incarnation and observation, but also has the perception of eternal life, ongoingness, new adventures, patience not understood by incarnate consciousness, and judgement-free relationship with all of these.
Timelessness is a threshold in consciousness, challenging at first, but it puts life in a perspective that accepts a freedom to explore many realities without urgency or competition of any kind. There will always be more opportunities as even they coexist. Life is not limited to a linear path, straight line empire building. It is the coexistence of all realities, with opportunities of collaboration. Allowing your consciousness to open to these larger perspectives of existence, of life, opens the door to experiencing the richness of life.
So, as the physical body ages, the consciousness does not. The richness of life continues. The body benefits from these excursions of experience and understanding, for the mindset of aging is through physical identification, not identification with the True Nature and the Larger Life. So continue to be an ageless youngster, exploring and anticipating more to come. Be at peace. Namaste.
