JANU: What some call enormous responsibilities are quite simple in their nature. “To be” is to allow, become one with, to identify with a profound, basic, and elemental relationship of oneness. Awakening to the Larger Life occurs in this direction. The enrichment of life in this process is the realization of potential, not just your own, but of Life itself. We of the Brotherhood of Light, which we are, live these truths with simplicity, clarity, insight, and a growing wisdom. The invitation and opportunity has always existed. The love of life is an unending evolution of awakening. When observing others, see them as Life itself evolving. Freedom from identifying with limitation expands the consciousness and experience.

These truths, and more, exist as potential throughout life and each other. Be persistent. Continue. Every day, every moment is an opportunity and a challenge. They are gifts. Namaste.

JANU: There is a glow that is experienced within an individual when Truth is realized, True Nature is realized, true potential is realized, and that realization in others is observed. The glow is a response that harmonizes individual’s elements of life through consciousness, their hopes and dreams. Inspiring others and yourself in these ways enriches life. Enrichment can be many things, but it walks hand in hand with evolution, continuation, consciousness raising, oneness and its infinite diversity. So when we choose to inspire others and ourselves this is a beginning. Experience the glow and share it. Namaste.

Exploring Life

balance, beingness, consciousness, evolution, freedom, harmony, larger life, oneness, Truth of Life

JANU: Analysis must take on a new name to be released from limited thinking and tradition. The freedom to be embraces that which comes as intuition, dynamic life, and the promise of freedom. Freedom to be more. Freedom to explore. Conscious oneness.

So what does one explore, in harmony with these opportunities? The meaning of Life? Its potential? Current consciousness? Focused exploration, the pulse of Life and its potential. Life expresses countless forms, compositions, and seeming contradictions. One speaks of ‘isness,’ beingness, the arc of Life. These terms include so much more than ‘conscious of’ or ‘conscious as.’ Incarnate consciousness is consumed with, patterned deeply with the sense of time, sequence of realities, order, patterns, and cadence of life. Simultaneous existence, purposes, opportunities, understandings, consciousnesses, relationships are a step beyond.

As we continue these adventures into the Larger Life, one does not dismiss any of the life leading up to this. The Larger Life is just more inclusive, less restricted, biased, preferred, isolated in any way. Enjoy the freedom of limitlessness in thinking, experiencing, understanding, and service. See all of the vehicles of Life in this way. And, yes, even the physical for the duration of its expression.

Explore wholesomeness, balance, vitality, evolution, presence. Be present in understanding, discovery, engagement, expression. Find peace as a reality. Allow it to be and become. Greet all of Life in this way. It is a foundation for understanding and being the Truth of Life. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening

awakening, Enlightenment, identity, incarnation, life patterns, oneness, True Nature & Incarnate Life

JANU: The potential of Life is enormous. Being conscious as more and more of Life is part of the process of awakening. In the current incarnate condition of consciousness, for most, the direct experience of life is perceived as physical life. Lip service is paid to the unknowns of being. Many religions try to describe this, but there’s a vagueness about it.

On our journeys, the word ‘our’ refers to the human consciousness and identity as well as the True Nature, the True Nature being the so-called soul or larger being that survives incarnations and is conscious of more of life than the human personality. Conscious union, individually, has its unique life patterns as part of the process of desire by the incarnate consciousness to reunite or become one with the larger identity. The process is described as that which affords continuity and non-interference with a wise and loving pattern of awakening. Integrating a larger consciousness with the incarnate life patterns unfolds in a way that brings enlightenment to both incarnate and spiritual elements of being. Both evolving together in the direction of oneness, fulfilling opportunities of potential; therefore evolving in harmony with life.

Patience means moving in harmony with the natural order which takes all the patterns of life, of all of life, into consideration, so that Life benefits on its path of realization of potential. So, movement takes place from individual identity towards unlimited identity, or universal consciousness. Not to be rushed by unwise desires, uncontrolled desires, but allowed to unfold with patience, confidence, faith in reality, and a love of Life. So, walk the journey of being conscious as more and more of life. Namaste.

As this is the basic premise of all I have presented on this website, there are lots of background sources to investigate, if you choose, in whatever fashion suits you. An identically named journey from 2019 offers a slightly different take on the idea, as does Progress on the human journey of awakening from 2015. For further background, the reader may also wish to check out the page entitled Awakening to the Larger Life, which consists of various links to collections of journeys having to do with awakening.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

awakening, consciousness, oneness, potential, presence, responsibility, Service

JANU: Incurring responsibility takes many forms. Many forms are needed for the needs are diverse and many. Service to life takes many forms as well and many are needed. One not greater than another, but different enough to fulfill the most needs. Your confusion in this area is due to awakening to the different forms of service and ability to respond.

What we see in this is the power and effectiveness of being. Not just words and ideas but presence, qualities, potential. Consciousness and vitality, the presence of Life, go hand in hand. Holding the need of another into the Light, the Truth of Life, is a subtle doorway of Light to be shined upon the need of another. Their consciousness, their desire to know, to be and understand, is their key to unlock opportunity, insight, and potential.

Do not underestimate the universal continuous presence of Life and its vitality. Being this is significant, reinforcing, bringing into clearer consciousness what has been gained. Build the stronger foundation for that yet to be gained in beingness. Embrace this with clarity that grows. Not just an idea, you see, or philosophy, but an actual presence, a part of life and its universality, its oneness, its connectedness with everything. Reinforce this foundation with this in mind, of becoming more fulfilled and fulfilling. Namaste.

Other worlds

consciousness, diversity, integrity, oneness

JANU: Summarizing encounters, their progress towards conclusions as to the nature of significance and understanding, compounded by the seeming frailties of expressions of creation. Let us assume that there is an integrity of life that transcends fragility and confusions. So what does one hang their hat on, so to speak, to rely on, to fall back on, to start over from, and to build on? The nature of existence varies according to the existence, for how does one understand, relate to, and grasp life essence that has such potential. Other worlds and civilizations, other systems and subtler realities find the support they need to not only exist but continue. Many search for cause for everything. The question being: What is the nature of every thing, every world, every reality?

Expressions of oneness exhibit infinite diversity. It appears to some that the Nature of Life and the creations are only connected beyond understanding. A limited point of view from a physical life. What we are suggesting here is the vision, a perception of the worlds being explored that what is sustained isn’t just the expression of creation but life in motion, no matter the form or the expression. Even understanding is not fixed, for Life is in motion and understanding must be as well.

So, when observing a society or a natural expression of life, think not in terms of only longevity and permanence and origination, but see Life itself in motion no matter the expression. For one’s consciousness to evolve, as well as understanding and wisdom and contribution to life, this perception we refer to contributes greatly to your own being in motion. So even sojourns that come and go are only the beginning and modifications of expressions of life in motion. Be not attached to these, or identified with them, but allow them their life and contribution. Ponder this. Namaste.

Other worlds

coexistence, diversity, evolution, oneness

JANU: Savoring the richness of life is a peaceful journey through its creations. Its diversity and its evolution are unlimited. Exploring other worlds is part of this, but not all of it. There are thoughts of cause, results, origins, purpose, reason, potential, timing, connectivity, relationships, timelessness, cycles, and pure being. These—and many more avenues of discovery, exploration, understanding—go hand in hand with exploring any part of life.

So whatever is explored, have a foundation of a larger reality of which the exploration is a part. Even perspective is evolving. The elements of life are evolving. The descriptors are evolving. Much to be learned from exploring worlds, for they reflect on your own and your journeys. A grand perspective to achieve is the reality that everything is connected in countless ways. And everyone, as well. Diversity and oneness coexisting in a symphony of Life and Light. Namaste.

Comments Off on The origins of mind

Exploring the Richness of Life

discovery, evolution, oneness, potential, reality, universal consciousness

JANU: Exploring the options of discovery in the area of the origins of mind, we would pursue and prevail upon the many initiations of consciousness. The reality of being individual life has the reality preceding it. The term cloud of reality initiating consciousness comes to mind. This cloud transforms and is transformed into a coalescence of the reality of being as an individualized element of many for the purpose of exploration and experience of potential. So, you see, even potential was a creation. So mind became a natural manifestation of inquiry into the nature of potential, its manifestation, and its contextual experiences.

The reality of all of this is available for understanding and revisiting, for it is part of the ultimate nature of being. The sense of “you” in your inquiries is an evolving consciousness, born from the universal consciousness as it began to observe the nuances of potential, which are still evolving and will continue to do so as life explores Life.

These dynamics come to the fore the more potential is realized, for the discovery of what will be has a counterpart into the discovery of what has been. Both directions of discovery form the looping reality of life; past through present into future enriches everything and the circle grows. The incidentals of living and evolving reveal in the perception of the depth and breadth of being. Ultimately exposing the consciousness to the reality of being one with life, being one as life. Namaste.

Exploring the Richness of Life

identity, Individuality, larger life, oneness, reality, the True Nature, the veil

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.

Comments Off on Identity of mind to universal oneness

Exploring the Richness of Life

consciousness, identity, incarnation, Individuality, oneness, True Nature & Incarnate Life

JANU: Mind is a term for ‘collector of life impressions’ but is limited to the incarnate experience and sensory input. Let us explore a concept of that reality with new meaning, larger meaning.

Consciousness is a state of being, of perceiving. But what is conscious? The term ‘mind’ does not embrace this. It’s an incarnate expression and perception, concept. What is conscious is ‘true nature’ and functions differently than incarnate mind. This is consciousness, this ‘true nature’ is more in the direction of oneness, the intimacy of oneness that leaves ego separation, any sense of borders or limits, to the incarnate perception. The True Nature is a more universal reality than the word ‘mind’ can embrace. Pure being is pure oneness. It becomes the reality experienced, perceived, understood in the sense that it is its oneness of being.

Higher and lower mind, so to speak, do not embrace this reality. They are a result of it, with a purpose of exploring an experiencing a part of life. Individuality as such does not apply to universality. But universality is. Putting your attention upon this connects you to it, liberating your identity from limitation into the connection of oneness and unlimited intimacy.

This journey follows directly upon the previous one.

Higher and lower mind comes from the writing of C.W. Leadbeater in A Textbook of Theosophy.
