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.

Individuality and oneness  

JANU: The sense of individuality seems to give purpose to existence. The sense of individuality is part of the incarnate experience due to the veil. The reason for this is focus and the evolution of life itself. The individual, so to speak, is motivated as the driving force for evolving. The True Nature and the monad are the evolving life principle throughout the creations occurring in the realms. The sense of individuality is a healthy vehicle to experience evolution.

The isolation of the veil allows for the assignment of failure and frustration as to the nature and actuality of these outcomes. But this is a limited perception. Allowing reality to unfold in a peaceful but committed manner allows for continuation.

See identity, then, as not so much a separation from the rest of life but as an expression of the Larger Life, the source of being. Namaste.

Understanding the Larger Life

JANU:    Living in the moment  is a prerequisite for manifesting the determination to awaken to the Larger Life, for that is the central reality to the journey of life. Past and future are the radiations of the moment. The reality of time tends to encourage past and future and present as unique realities. They are, within their domain, but there is more to this. These are elements of a larger oneness where reality is a more profound understanding.

Cycles of life relate to these. ‘Life’ is a limited expression.*  The word contains perceptions of beginnings and ends. It describes the cycles. Identifying with any of these is limitation, which is useful for exploration of these, but a limitation with a purpose. To be conscious in this larger way removes what might be called borders that describe ‘this and not that.’ Identifying with these is a limitation. But the perception of the elements of these brings wisdom through experience and enriches Life and fulfills it. Wisdom brings peace through balance and harmony to diversity. Let us enrich each other through this process, and this unites us in our perceptions. Patience is a powerful tool to explore all of this. Namaste.

Life owns you and you own life

JANU:    Life is a jewel with many facets, each of which is unique yet together they are one, rich in their contribution to life and each other. Live life as a jewel, a facet that enriches life and inspires where it may. Each facet is an evolving jewel, constantly changing and in motion, drawing essence and vitality from the richness of life. Not in competition for anything, but filled with evolving opportunities from the same source.

There is Larger Life that includes this larger life. Open the mind to consider reality larger than time and physicality. All that you are evolving, in motion, yet peaceful. In this stillness, find understanding, experience, and wisdom. Life owns you and you own life. Find freedom in the oneness. Namaste.

Remembering who I am & my relationships

JANU:    Surveillance ensues when changes occur in the flow of life. For these changes are catalysts for migration into creativity, into evolution, into new norms. The changes that are occurring are in different places in what you call time, but they are simultaneous in the Larger Life. The life of time is not linear or limited to sequential behavior, but has a simultaneous reality.

There are changes in your being that occur in this way. Your consciousness is opening to this larger reality, for your life is so much more than the incarnate journey. As one awakens to the larger truth of their nature, they begin to see and understand relationships in a larger way. The isolation of the veil hides these larger relationships for the consciousness.

Be open to associations that have been ongoing. Remember them. Be more conscious of them. Your journey is taking another step through the veil. Many relationships are emerging. Be open to them. Remember who you are. We are one in this. Namaste.

The nature of the True Nature

JANU:   Human consciousness, psyche, is dominated by the veiled reality. The True Nature does not have this limitation. It is conscious of, and as, many realities. Its life includes journeys into other worlds, other realities beyond physicality. It is a creator, to a growing degree, into the nature of life in harmony with many other so-called dimensions. It is ancient in terms of time, but timeless in larger realities, or subtle realities. Its reality is beyond individual beingness. Difficult for the human ego to grasp but the memories are there.

Remembering who and what you truly are has always been. Attuning consciousness is evolving in that direction. We are as close as a shift in consciousness and identity. Human reality is a small element of True Nature reality. Concerns of existence physically can seem overwhelming and, at times, insurmountable. But from the more complete perspective of the True Nature, it is very temporary. But wisdom is still to be gained there, along with contribution to the evolution of life.

To the human consciousness, physical survival seems like as important as existence itself. What we have encouraged here is the peace and confidence that comes from the reality of the True Nature and the Larger Life. This contributes to balanced perspective, reasonableness, wisdom, harmonious relationships, inspired discovery and creativity. Allow the consciousness of larger reality of being. Become a conscious partner in ongoingness. The range of one sojourn is not the concern, but the content for the experience is significant.

As one becomes conscious in this way, one becomes conscious of the larger life in others, which creates a strong foundation for tolerance, compassion, understanding, and service. Namaste.

The evolving circle of life

JANU: Exploration of the Larger Life (the macrocosm) includes the microcosm as well. Gross manifestation and the microcosm are one. An insight and a grand design initiated by that insight speak to a chain of life, for the macro creates the realization of the micro, which continues the cycle of life, the realization of potential, and the evolution of potential, for all of life is in motion.

Observe your own existence in this way. The incarnate sojourn is the circle of life, for that which survives the sojourn is a pattern of life that continues. The sojourn is but an element of that pattern and brings to the fore Life’s compulsion to be. See each day as an opportunity to evolve your pattern of life and its ongoingness, rich with opportunities that evolve and continue. Be sensitive to, cognizant of, and engaging of each day’s flow of life. Be at peace with this with a consciousness that welcomes with gratitude. Namaste.

The collective flow of life

JANU: This experience is part of embracing the Larger Life. Life is not just angels singing in the sky. It is the whole gamut of possibilities, probabilities, and expressions, experiences, not just in your world but everywhere. Each domain, whether physical or not, has its flow of life, its counterpart in each of the other domains, and with collective perspective it all works. It’s all okay, and it’s all enriching life to the benefit of everyone, everything, every moment.

So be grateful for all of it, no matter the expression. It is Life realizing its potential and evolving. Evolve with it, no matter the expression. In gratitude and peace, so be it.

Why we incarnate

JANU:    Clarity is the theme here, brother in life. We are one. There is, occasionally, an urge to know certain things. Life experience triggers interest and these interests further the foundations of understanding. Incarnation is not the only thing in the journeys of life, in the Larger Life. The circumstances for life and opportunity to add to the interests in this tapestry of life called incarnate evolution and the experience has evolved our Nature. Not only to observe incarnate reality but for incarnate reality to observe the Larger Life, the True Nature, and its evolution and destiny. For they are linked and serve each other.

So value the merits of this relationship. They serve each other and Life is enriched and the benefits become clearer as understanding evolves. This is part of Life maturing, not just ours but more. Be at peace in this. Continue with the discoveries, the realizations, and relationships. Namaste.

Light Bringers

JANU: Partnerships in the service of the Light are a blessing for humanity. There are traditions of life that are created through service. These traditions are like a breath of fresh air in the lives of humanity, that gentle breeze that brings a sense of well-being and hope for the future.

There is a natural desire to be part of something larger. In the Larger Life, open-mindedness, free thinking, creativity coexists with a sense of community and mutual benefit. The isolation of the veil experience gives way to this as enlightenment unfolds and the attention on the Family of Life replaces the loneliness of isolation. This is part of the Truth of Life, the Light of Life. Join the Light Bringers. It is part of human destiny. Namaste.
