balance, conscious union, Middle Way, peace

JANU: Chaos and cadence, seemingly arch-enemies but combined they are attributed to peace, balance, symmetry, and continuation. Current perception of incarnate life is strong on the side of chaos, and weak in the direction of peace and balance, symmetry, order.

“How do these combine to yield peace?” you ask. Because each reveals the other for their natures, leaving one free to identify with the Middle Way, the path of peace and balance. For in this Middle Way, the truth of everything is perceived. Extremes reveal each other for what they are, less likely the identification with either one. Yet both are born of the experiment of living, of creating.

So observe these streams from the True Nature that allows them to exist, with the eye of the Center Way, which sees all and condemns neither. Experience this reality of life, in conscious union with who you truly are. For, in a sense, you are this experiment of life, capable of experiencing these extremes and everything in between. No need to identify with any of this except the freedom and the wisdom of your True Nature. We are one. Namaste.

Human Potential & the Larger Life

JANU: Perception, then, does apply to the power struggles in government. And these exist throughout the world, not to mention other venues of power. Relaxing into daily routines perpetuates normalcy for most, but not those in so-called power. Each day is a challenge to maintain and build that power, not from within but through manipulation of external realities and other people. It is as intoxicating to them as compulsive eating, smoking, and drugs. They become addicted to that power, or that sense of it, because it is relatively easy in terms of relative maturity and the evolution of consciousness. There are situations when life allows these scenarios to run their course, so to speak, for inspirational learning begins when the outer expressions of life collapse on themselves, but not before. The challenges and opportunities, then, are for those who choose a different way—the inner life of true power—to avoid these bullets of power struggles.

Walking the Middle Way on the path of life, not only physically but emotionally and mentally as well, brings balance to life’s many experiences and challenges. This applies no matter the scope of your life involvements, whether parochial or global. And what is the Middle Way? How does one recognize its characteristics?

Even-mindedness, emotional sensitivity, has a strength that brings clarity to understanding through experience.
The overcoming of extremes yet allowing a range of experiences with a foundation of wisdom and integration.
A greater ability to perceive the progression of scenarios of life and their likely outcome.
A vision for the realization of potential.
A life of patience and tolerance for journeys of others.
A love of self, of life, all of it.
Being joy-filled and happy without needing a reason to be.
Confident in the future, as the present reveals it.
Being at peace with a growing understanding of its reality.
And much more.

Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

balance, changes, dichotomies, flow of life, larger life, Middle Way

JANU: Understanding the dichotomy between so-called evil and Life settles the mind and the passions into equilibrium. Negative and positive—two sides of the same coin. Positive builds the neighborhood. Evil is the catalyst for change, paving the way, opening the door to reconstruction, redirection, re-creation. See not these seeming opposites as enemies of each other, preferring one over the other, but pick the middle way with equilibrium between any dichotomies in life. They exhibit range of possibilities. They perpetuate the tension that motivates life in motion. Now, in incarnate physical life, they are perceived in this way. But in the Larger Life their counterpart is understood as part of the flow of life.

Allow the dichotomy. Perceive it in the middle way. Attune to the balance they possess. Choose your involvements with the wisdom of the center way, not preferring one over another. They are part of the tension of life. They create change and opportunity. They refresh each other. The coin exists because of the two sides. Develop thinking and perceiving in this way, about everything. Namaste.

Awakening into Larger Life

awakening, dichotomies, evolution, love, Middle Way

JANU: Part of understanding the nature of life is understanding the nature of love. They are synonymous when understood aright, engaged and experienced. There is a peace that is more profound and everlasting, a love that allows all expressions of being, supporting them evenly, continuously, for they are expressions of Life itself. Becoming one with what some would call the ‘big picture’ of life and all it includes, all the bits and pieces if you will, all of the changes, all of the nuances, all of the evolution. Life is at one with its own reality, the entire universe, one of many, and the reality that universes reside in.

You ask, “What is the nature of love?” It is the Life behind all of this, and its relationship with everything and every no-thing. It is Pure Being. The expressions of love, manifestations, are beyond number, but all connected, all at one. Love allows and supports and is Life in motion.

Awakening to your True Nature opens the door to embracing, for the human mind to grasp, what the True Nature understands and is continuing to evolve into. For your entire being embraces many realities, including its own source. A consciousness of oneness. A consciousness without condemnation, value judgements, preferences, dichotomies, yet includes all of these, for they are part of the evolution of Life through its creations. The Middle Way is a balanced approach to all of life. Namaste.

This is a series exploring further aspects of awakening into the larger life. These are my experiences but it is hoped that these will inspire you to take your own journeys of awakening and exploration. Awakening into the Larger Life-Set 12 contains prior attunements in this series.

Awakening into Larger Life

awakening, integrity, laws of life, Middle Way, the Now, wisdom

JANU: Overcoming any regret for having lived the incarnate life frees the consciousness to rise above and own it all. Owning your experiences gains you the wisdom of them. And through wisdom comes clearer choices that benefit the journeyer and their associations.

Integrity exists whether incarnate or not, whether awakening or not, and all of life has integrity, or it wouldn’t continue. Yes, all creations can be manipulated, modified, altered, transformed, but life’s integrity allows this. The so-called Laws of Life are fluid. Integrity allows this, for the purpose of expression, creativity, and wisdom gaining.

The Middle Way that you endeavor to understand is one with everything, is the source of all dichotomies, and is ‘living in the Now.’

The desire of any True Nature is to be, which is fulfilled by engaging more and more of life. Awakening is part of this, our brother. Even the True Nature is awakening.
