The Human Condition

, , , ,

JANU:   We are connecting with the concept: Going within for understanding. Let us first speak to this subject as to its validity and benefit to humanity.

“What is going within, then?” some would ask, some having heard of this but not owning the experience or understanding it. ‘Going within’ is being in a state of listening, being alert and sensitive to inspiration. There is a world of reality with many elements and nuances and capabilities that are part of the being that you are. Now, this world includes the so-called outer life as well, for when ‘going within’ one is listening to and communicating with all of life. So ‘going within’ is sensitizing, quickening your consciousness to attune to the life that you are.

You ask, “Why is ‘going within’ more successful than seeking your answers only in the life around you?” The life around you is not the source of who you are, or the source of creation or the source of the life that creation manifests from. When one wishes to understand the behavior and awareness of any animal or creature, the core truth of that animal must be connected with and, in a sense, to a degree, take a stroll in their life as they see it. The same principle applies to your own. To understand the nature of your concerns, and related possibilities, one must attune to your True Nature, the source of your being, that that lives within you, and explore your life or any part of it.

Many will ask, “How does one accomplish this?” It is by asking the question in your life, about anything that you care about, and listening. And open your mind and your heart to the reality that there is an answer, and you are part of the life designed to answer it truthfully. This life we speak of is intelligence and information. It is always present, always available. As you develop the art of listening, and not just with your mind but with your emotions and your spirit, your understanding deepens and becomes more immediately available.

Now, this does not exclude moments of understanding inspired by observations of life around you. These are not separate realities and both can be beneficial, but the inner journey reveals, with less distraction, a more direct response to your inquiry. Now, it is possible, once developed, to observe life in motion around you and, with that listening sensitivity, see the truth that is taking place. Using both to gain insight and understanding simultaneously, discovering the inner and outer life are one. When developed to a comfortable degree, one no longer fears transition, but realizes they’ve been walking through that process of living both in the outer and the inner life, as they more freely experience any reality.

The Will of the People

Comments Off on The Will of the People

Larger Family of Life

, , ,

JANU: We are Janu speaking, discussing at some length the reality of the will of the people. Now, on one level this refers to the unawakened choices of humanity, and on another level the inner and more enlightened consciousness of humanity and its will. The first being subject to the whims of society, mob rule, the perceived power of the military and the politicians, the government, and the personal passions and biases. The latter refers to a collective understanding of the needs of humanity, its commitments, its potential, and its service to life, including that of the Earth.

Now, humanity is not just one or the other, but a mixture. Even the unenlightened will of the people is influenced by the inner memory of the larger Life and True Nature; although not consciously or with deliberation, there is influence still. Humanity, consciously, has yet to identify itself as part of a larger family of life. Most everything is parochial.

You ask, “Why do so many in Spirit give so much to the awakening of humanity?” It is because, our brother, humanity is a part of the larger family of life and, in a true sense, we all take care of our own, so to speak. It is our desire to serve humanity that has become aware of the magnificent genius and greatness and beauty and love that live within its True Nature, that they be inspired to master its potential.

It is useful for each individual to explore its own sense of will and free choice. How real that is, how real it could be, and what is the source of it. The will of the people on both levels is subject to the range of possibilities that each is conscious of and the degree of command over these opportunities. So the choices, you see, are not unlimited within the conditions of consciousness, but are unlimited in the full potential of life.

Awakening, our brother, to the larger life increases the options of engagement, realization, and co-creation. How can you exercise free will of choice over a reality you have no awareness of? The journeys we enjoy reveal more and more of this. May we encourage others to consider the same for themselves, and the dialogue within humanity grow, as well as the dialogue we enjoy, whether incarnate or not. For life talks to life, our brother, no matter the form or the location or the time or the reality. May we all lift each other into the Truth of Life and enjoy the journey. Namaste.

The destiny of human communication

Comments Off on The destiny of human communication

Destiny

, , ,

JANU: For this morning’s journey let us partake of excellence in the arena of destiny.  The destiny we refer to is the destiny of speech, of communication.

Humanity’s common speech is rife with misrepresentation, ambiguity, falsehood, and limitation. What is coming, our dear brother, is not just telepathy but direct knowing and the ability to perceive the energy fields of each other. This will go a long ways toward communicating with other species on other worlds for a number of them are accomplished in this area. Needless to say, this will completely revolutionize human relationships, behavior, conduct, and integrity.

The transition will be slow at first, with breakthroughs here and there, confusing to many uncertain as to its grasp on reality and reliability. Current speech patterns continue for they are difficult to challenge, decipher, and probe the truthfulness of. But as the new abilities come into being, the advantages will be obvious to those who continue in the old ways. The legal system will change dramatically. Confessionals in churches will, as well. Negotiations between nations and politicians will come to a halt, at first.

This is all part of human awakening, you see, which we bring to point once more. Consider deeply, even before this becomes common, the impacts to come on communication and interactions, relationships, and individual thoughts and behavior. How many people presently endeavor to make their true thoughts and feelings known to those they communicate with? It would be wise to carefully consider this destiny of human communication. Even prayers to whatever deity you choose will be impacted.

There will be schools, so to speak, to guide those slow to enter this new communication and the abilities required, to reduce the conflicts and mistrusts, for there will be divisions in human culture between those who do and those who do not. Much effort will be needed to overcome this rift. Many challenges, our brother, as this changes. Most of human culture will be affected and will change. We do not offer a timeframe, but it is on the horizon and can be explored, even at this time. A good beginning to this is individual assessment of their own truthfulness and clarity of thought and feeling. Namaste.

The act of love

Comments Off on The act of love

Nature of Love

, , ,

JANU: We are Janu speaking, to explore the meaning of love, its purpose, and its expression. What we see here at first is the coalescing factor of love, uniting life and its expressions, its creations, into composites, forms, beings, worlds, and universes. It is possible to look at a single fish in the sea with awakened eyes and see love all around it and through it. It is conscious of this and has a natural urge to relate to others in a loving way, combining lives, stronger to overcome the challenges of living. Portions of humanity see this and live this way. Others do not.
Would that people could see one another as an opportunity through love to be stronger and more complete, more creative, more insightful, and mutually beneficial. It would change the face of the Earth in terms of human consciousness and society. Love serves the expansion of life, ever growing richer with endless possibilities. Even Life itself, our brother, is not aware of all it can be. We are not speaking of life here as a thing, an object, but as a reality with vitality and presence and Pure Being.
When a planet coalesces from the debris of creation, it isn’t just gravity that brings these together. It is the love of Life, creating platforms of life to expand and enrich in countless ways. Science has done well to understand the mechanics of life, but how life functions through love is still a mystery.
Most of humanity sees love as a thing of passion and emotion, procreation. It is these, but so much more. Exploration of life with new understanding and experience is an expression of love. Discovering the needs of another, and their reasons for these, the desire to be of assistance is an act of love. Taking good care of your physical body is an act of love. Incarnating, fulfilling potential in the life is an act of love. Helping another fulfill their dreams is an act of love. Taking care of the Earth is an act of love. And even taking another breath to continue the life is an act of love. Standing in harm’s way to save the life of another is a grand act of love.
Acts of love are all around you and bring purpose and meaning to life and to love. Have a loving day, our brother, and namaste.

Oneness and individuality co-exist

Comments Off on Oneness and individuality co-exist

Oneness

, , , ,

JANU: May we begin this journey with preface that a life with Oneness has an element of choice and appropriateness for circumstances and service, and a perspective to pursue and achieve. Let us explore the term ‘oneness’ and its reality. Oneness does not suggest the end of individuality, of a unique consciousness and life path. It does suggest, and is, a life where one may choose a varying degree of connection with any part of life, revealing its truth and yours as well.

And you ask, “When is oneness called for, in any life?” It is called for when there is a need for life to communicate, appreciate, and serve. When blessings are being offered and received, oneness applies. When insight is needed to understand the needs of another, oneness applies. And this occurs in any venue of life, other worlds, other realities, and your own True Nature.

Oneness serves life in motion: survival; conception; yes, and even the blessing of your own food; everything that provides sustenance.

Oneness is a way for life to touch life, to share for both to prosper, and oneness extends beyond one-to-one reality but one-to-many.

As a way of life, oneness evolves as the consciousness evolves and becomes a fine art, so to speak, of application, interpretation, and contribution.

Through oneness, an individual appreciates life more fully, and understands its process and motivations to continue.

Oneness brings profound patience before it brings understanding of circumstance and the eternal nature of life. Practice oneness with a creature, a plant, any life process.

Oneness is a subtle and gentle experience, not forced but invited, allowed, and a quiet element of love is present.

The oneness experience is not controlled by time and space, or limited, for life is every where and every when, and is known. Consciousness is not limited by time and space. It is free to be one with any life and includes individuality. The co-existence of life, our brother, a thing to be remembered. How can life deny any part of its existence?

Thank you, our brother, and namaste.

Co-creation: a continuous reality

Comments Off on Co-creation: a continuous reality

Oneness

, , , ,

JANU: We have again this opportunity to explore co-creation, to a degree as humanity understands it, with a look at the larger reality here, you see.

Co-creation, then, is a continuous reality. Even when dreaming in the evening, you are co-creating. Collectively, humanity is constantly co-creating, interacting with life, its world, and the subtle realities. See this from life’s point of view, being one with life. Life sees itself, if you can use that term, through the perceptions of its creation. And creation continues, our brother, through the reality of continuous co-creation.

How does one describe in words the ramifications of all of this? For in a very subtle sense, all of life is a collective reality and it continues, fulfilling its potential, evolving. And all of your thoughts, feelings, factions, and on and on, are life creating itself, re-creating, beginning anew from time to time. One must move beyond the perception that life is somehow out there, beyond your individual existence. It is, and it is not, our brother, for life is everywhere, including all you are and will be.

Life is collective. Life is one. How deeply is that grasped and experienced? Every breath you take is Life taking that breath, is the air that is breathed and exhaled, and is the magic that has on the rest of your systems. Everything is connected, influenced and influencing. Co-creation taken to a larger meaning is not just an individual creating something. Everything is co-creating. The obsession with individuality and identity does not allow for the intimacy, the oneness, that life is. And if you are one with life, and another is one with life, as they say: things equal to the same thing are one with each other.

Co-creating in harmony with life is co-creating within the Truth within you. Be conscious. Be aware of life that you are, as you move through it and it moves through you. The smallest and the largest of creation are still just Life. So the truth and presence can be experienced in its fullness in the micro- and the macro-realities, equally. The depth, the continuing depth of understanding and experience is everywhere, in everything. If you long for love, intimacy, compassion, understanding, and yes, even lightheartedness, you are at one with already all you need and can desire. Your attention moving then from lack and separation to fulfillment, richness, of everything you desire.

Your True Nature, our brother, is not separate from these desires, for it loves life as well, and you, more than you know. So continue to co-create, adding to the richness of life, and this benefits everyone, everywhere. Namaste.

Transitional Migrations: Choose to enjoy all that life offers

Comments Off on Transitional Migrations: Choose to enjoy all that life offers

Miscellaneous Journeys

, , ,

JANU: As an individual or any part of life evolves, in the transition from one state to another, the elements of what has been built carry into the next experience, the next evolutionary reality. Now, you ask, “Is this to be managed by the individual?” To a degree, yes, our brother. Managed in the sense of choosing the degree of involvement of what has been into what is now and what will be. Certain qualities, built over time, of experience, understanding, and perception may not be something you wish to continue. The choice is yours.
But the presence of these past tendencies can reach into and modify your decisions. It is wise to be aware of these and manage them. Some call these ‘instinct’: they are uncontrollable and cannot be changed. The impression of some experiences are so strong, they force through the veil, for the veil is porous, our brother. Wise to examine one’s own present life as to the nature of strong experiences, emotions, with the understanding of their potential for carryover. Even when making the transition from the physical life, deep-seated strong patterns of attitude, philosophy, experience, judgment, carryover and must be dealt with.
Life is a continuous reality, our brother. Experience in life of a sojourn is not isolated from the life after transition. So choose carefully what you build, choose to experience. Judge, even of yourself, for it stays with you, to be resolved. This includes pleasures, joys, peace, and fears. Going to heaven, so to speak, is the simplistic term.
Life is rich, full of opportunities and challenges, whether incarnate or not. Even though one may choose a state of rest and peace, when letting go of mortality, life is still richer and fuller than just rest and peace. One can linger in any state they choose. But ‘linger’ is the word here.
Transitioning includes not just leaving mortality, but leaving a current thought or attitude, emotion…yes, emotion….taking ignorance into illumination of issues or well-being. In a very real sense, we transition from one moment to the next. What you carry with you is up to you. What you embrace is up to you. Transition is an ongoing reality of migration and realization. But choosing to enjoy life and all that it offers is very rewarding. Namaste, our brother.

The Discarnate Life: Comparisons

Comments Off on The Discarnate Life: Comparisons

Miscellaneous Journeys

, ,

JANU:   We are Janu speaking, welcoming this opportunity to explore a part of life that leads to greater understanding and growth. For it is true that there are many parallels between incarnate and discarnate life. But there are differences, as well.

The passage of time in both worlds is non-linear, for that experience is a perception subject to many changes. Time in some circumstances seems interminable. And in others passes in a moment. This is also true in discarnate life. The cycles of life are many in incarnate experience. The days and nights, the comings and goings, of weather, of breathing. In discarnate life, the cycles are there as well, varying greatly from one subtle reality to another. But rhythm and pace, cycles of interaction, the flows of energy, the comings and goings of relationships. And even the Breath of Life, our brother, has a pulse, a rhythm, a cadence, which varies.

The transition itself has various experiences, depending upon the circumstances of the moment, the consciousness of the individual, from fear to joy. The challenges of the physical body disappear, but are remembered. The regret of unfinished business, so to speak, pertains for a time, until one perceives that life has successfully moved on.

Many linger to provide service for those of concern. And many move on, with larger concerns, some of which are carryovers of previous discarnate experiences. And some return to other worlds, to continue their incarnate experience through past association. Some combine with groups in spirit to develop new procedures that can serve humanity through inspiration and guidance. Some join in groups that help maintain many conditions of life; that stability keeps the opportunity for discovery and evolution to continue. And some continue their education with groupings designed for this. And some simply roam life to discover its nature and more of its creation.

This is a beginning look at transition and discarnate life, as you have requested. And yes, there is much more. Namaste.

The human perception of self-importance

Comments Off on The human perception of self-importance

Miscellaneous Journeys

, ,

JANU: For this morning’s journey, let us pursue the denomination, if you will, of specific integrity shining light upon that which consumes human attention and interest in the purpose of life, namely human existence.

The denomination, so to speak, of this pursuit is described as the supreme importance of the reality of humanity, compared to everything else. Humanity has difficulty grasping that its importance is not such that life is centered around it exclusively. There are many other species in the universe with varied cultures and philosophies of life, if understood, might re-position the human perception of self-importance or significance in the larger life, you see. That particular denomination of perception shapes the belief systems, social structures, perceptions of deity, and the creatures of life that populate the Earth and the seas.

When one is committed to and understands more and more deeply the nature of service and its position and contribution to the larger life, the sense of superiority and primary importance is of less and less concern. More so, the concern is of the health and well-being of creation and the movement of life through its path of evolution and realization. And even understanding that the elevation, through service, of any part of life evolves the server in unforeseen ways, allowing for more profound service and effectiveness.

Now, the instinct for self-preservation is a necessary ingredient for life to continue. But not with the disrespect that can ensue, for other life forms. Physical survival at times can be seen as expendable, as the True Nature continues on. At times, life continues for reasons not known, when one life or physical existence is sacrificed for another. Much of human thought, emotion, and society lives in fear of the loss of survival. True freedom is not based on fear. Your history records the lives of those who have found their peace with life, even when faced with the loss of their physical body. What is this peace they have discovered, and live in? This is worthy of consideration. Namaste, our brother

A sense of family among all of humanity

July 19, 2014

Comments Off on A sense of family among all of humanity

Larger Family of Life

, , ,

JANU: What we serve this evening belongs to a paradigm of consciousness that is the thread of life as humanity evolves through many generations. This thread of life is a sense of family, integrity of common purpose and destiny. At times, humanity seems not to demonstrate this thread of life, but it is always at the core of human nature. Turning conflicts into cooperation with mutual benefit and respect, and honoring integrity, is what this achieves. Outrageous behavior against one another becomes unthinkable, for it makes no sense and profits neither.
The scope of this reality can be carried from couples to communities to nations to all of Earth humanity and, yes, to other worlds. We do see this happening in time to come. There will be triggers or thresholds along the way that accelerate this, with quiet times in between for life to adjust. Once again, the need for awakening to a larger life and profound understanding as to one’s own nature and destiny.
The human heart continues to awaken, lifting each other’s spirit without a price. Namaste, our brother.
