The power of choice

JANU: It is part of the goal of all of us to find peace in everything throughout the systems of Life, including the physical, bringing clarity of observation and understanding. This is part of the True Nature of Being; therefore achievable for it already exists. One of the many challenges and opportunities of incarnate life.

See pain, discomfort, challenges as opportunities to find direction, purpose, and fulfillment. They are all temporary, for as long as you need them. They are fulfilling their purpose. Pay attention. Do not disregard. They are Life speaking to you. Own them. Understand them. Resolve them. And move on. No one is ever alone in this. The True Nature is always intimately involved.

There are many in the Brotherhood who serve awakening, enlightenment, creativity, understanding. Allow this to be your experience. It is within you, around you, and has always been there. Become the Larger Life. There are no limits except those self-imposed. The choice has always been yours to make. So choose. Namaste.

Mastering the many faces of identity

JANU: The focus, mastering the many faces of identity, a profound treatise on a consuming journey of discovery.

The role of identity, for most, is to establish purpose and to master that purpose, to benefit from it, to display and to compare with others. Identity becomes a central focus for most, not seeing it as a transitory reality, temporary but with purpose. Identity becomes the focus for understanding, skill development, personal relationships and alliances. Identity has the scope that results from exploration, experimentation, and discovery. Identity offers peace of mind, to a degree, identifiable traits and development.

Identity gives recognition to individuals, to each other. It’s similar to accepted names, unique to a degree, different enough to reveal diversity. Some identities are cultural—skills, talents, types of personality, racial, gender, performance. They are a limitation as well, for the common roles of each identity have their limit, their range, their inclusion. Some envy or long to be the so-called identity of another, in terms of many things—profession, language, culture, economic, appearance, even ego—not appreciating their identities as limitations.

There are some who explore alternatives to this, learning new professions, new skills and talents, exploring deeper meaning and revelation of their own True Nature, who they are beyond physicality, social norms, nationalities, and, yes, even gender. This is the journey of awakening, of becoming more realized, gaining access to previously achieved understandings and abilities. The challenge is letting go of one to gain something larger that includes some of previous, becoming more a conscious collective of possibilities, creations, experiences, life journeys, with a growing ability to see this in others, whether physical or not. For they realize there is a larger Life than social humanity. It is all around them, all part of the one Life which is ever-changing, evolving, creating.

Identity is temporary, but with purpose and opportunity to focus on a path of exploration, of wisdom-gaining, and of service to life. Understanding such as this opens the door to patience, tolerance, and contribution. Find peace in this and liberation, freedom to be whatever you choose from the opportunities that come your way. Namaste.

Exploring self-awareness

JANU:    Enumerating the discourses of the past, your challenge for the new vista of peace-mongering, the stronger struggle for evolution in the consciousness and affairs of the world, reaches thresholds and reversals. The peace you seek is the peace you have known. Reaching into the barrel of topics for exploration, let us assume that there is, in the beginning, a source for these, but they evolve as well and the flow of opportunities, new points of light, continues.

Life itself is the great communicator. It communicates with itself, through all of its expressions, creations, through the development and processing of understanding and the structure within and because of no structure. To understand the nature of life, one must become more conscious as it. The perception of distance or separation among the realities of life is a limitation.

Let us continue to explore not just realities of life but the nature of it all. To know one’s self, live and be as one’s self. The consciousness grows in inclusiveness. A never ending journey of absorption, of observation, of change, of expansion, of identity. Does Life identify with its own Nature? Once more, a limited point of view. What is self-awareness? Explore this. Namaste.

Living in freedom

JANU:    Mustering the strength, you see, to master challenges, to find opportunities, to penetrate limitations, to experience achievement. Our conscious union is one. Like so many others, has been beset with challenges and the opportunities they bring. As we have just experienced, all of them can be overcome. And they transition, transform into successful life patterns of our intent, desire, and design. We are freedom to be.

The nuances of life range far and wide. Each challenge, in some ways, is created by one’s own life patterns, for the opportunities they present vary according to their creator. Visiting other worlds and their cultures reveals this diversity, yet are customizable life journeys. Failure is not inevitable. Limitations are not final. Opportunities are without limit.

Love brings peace to all of this. Love into being your choices, your desires, your achievements, with the patience of Life itself.  Live in freedom. Namaste.

Being ambulatory in consciousness

JANU: ‘Ambulatory’ comes to mind. Not just in the physical sense, but in consciousness as well. There are correlations in life patterns. All of life is connected. What does ‘ambulatory’ look like in consciousness? It is the freedom to move in any direction, to explore and discover life everywhere. Time and space not an obstacle but an opportunity. Exercising this freedom strengthens it.

Explore your interests with wisdom that the True Nature possesses. Be at peace with the results, and understand them. Explore life’s connections and their contributions. Be sensitive to the ripples and currents of life. What seems like chaos and randomness has purpose, outcomes, consequences, and opportunities. Reach into the fishbowl of life and experience it. Be open to identity that is larger and larger, more inclusive, more ambulatory, more free. Understand challenges and perceived limitations as opportunities.

All of these come into play, and more, when exploring other worlds, other realities, and your own nature. Remember, each one you meet is life in motion. Cherish everyone. Namaste.

Observing the Earth

JANU:  The other world we observe at this time is none other than the Earth. What we see here is the complexity of the diversities of life, finding their footholds in what seems to be uncontrolled chaos, cross-purposes, a huge range of conflicts and cooperations. The journey of life for this world came from mostly potential but the influences of other existences is sprinkled throughout. But still left with the challenges, and opportunities to make use of these and evolve is still in play.

When studying the potentials and manifestations of other worlds, the journey of Earth has its own footprint in Life, but is still connected, not just in physical patterns—life patterns—but in consciousness and the creative forces that enrich manifestation. The challenges of the moment come and go but the seeds spring forth as a result to sprout and grow. That potential is an evolving reality for what therefore manifests from this is influenced by so much.

The cycles of evolution, evolution in consciousness, experience and wisdom have so many eddies and currents as to be confusing but clarity grows through experience. And Earth’s commitment to survive, discover, understand, and contribute will see it through. The suffering along the way has its pearls as well. Rich with motivation to overcome and enjoy the rewards. The lessons to be learned have benefits far-ranging, even beyond the human journey.

Open the eyes to what is to come. Have the courage to meet it. Humanity is never alone. It is part of a larger family. Namaste.

Encouragement

JANU:   The reality of encouragement takes many forms, with many needs for it. Encouragement’s source isn’t just one person to another or life circumstance or angelic force. It can be self-inflicted or processed from within someone. The observance of the success of another, their understanding and application through their basic ego-personality, life and lifestyle, through an insight from within from Life itself. There are blessings to be experienced everywhere and many go unnoticed.

Encouragement does not have to wait for the support of another. One can choose to be motivated and encouraged to try again, to understand more deeply, to benefit from insights into success or the stages thereof. Even from observing the creatures of the Earth and how they survive. Even the playfulness of animals and their beauty.

The message and music of a song that touches you, inspires you, brings a memory that you or another finds in a moment of living and of loving. The majesty of a symphony, of a flock of birds in formation, the rising and setting of the sun every day. Every chance to bring a smile to another, finding peace, encourages continuation.

The forms, the sources, the opportunities are endless. Reach into your vast resources and encourage someone, including yourself. Namaste.

The journey

JANU: Striving to ordinary social structure, order, is only part of the journey of experience in this world. Awakening through to the truth behind it all, its many nuances, layers, meanings, realities, evolutions, is the journey. And the journey includes service, enrichment, the elevation of peace, intelligence, maturity, and even love. There is much it fulfills and rounds out. The opportunities, even they are evolving.

Life is in motion everywhere. So be in motion, as your guidance, your insight suggests. Look for opportunities appearing on your doorstep, such as these journeys together. Every day, a journey of some kind, to varying degrees. Continue with this. Discover its path. Be attentive, committed, and open. Namaste.

Forgiveness and loving bring freedom

JANU:    Enormous, then, are the opportunities to serve life, which you are, which we are. What isn’t life? Even the most outrageous human expression is life. Understanding this brings about a pause in emotional judgement and condemnation. Opening to a consciousness of understanding that realizes this is another step on the path of freedom. Forgiveness with understanding does nothing to perpetuate negative emotions, judgements, frustrations, and persecutions. Regardless of frailties of the body as it endeavors to maintain integrity and support the journey of exploring life, be responsible for any negativity or unwise behavior that impedes its integrity.

Forgiveness and loving is freedom. Love your vehicle of expression, whether physical or not. It is Life manifesting itself as it gains wisdom and the realization of potential. Find joy in the journeying. It is Life in motion. Feel the harmony in association with it. Allow the body its harmony with Life. Namaste.

Life in motion is rich with opportunities

JANU:    We are serving, then, the opportunity to proceed along the lines of the investigation of opportunities in the flow of life that proceed along the lines of awakening. Experiencing these opportunities, no matter how mundane they may seem, is part of awakening for there is understanding to be gained, forms of service, enrichment of the Tapestry of Life serving opportunities for others. In the midst of walking the day, be open to becoming aware of opportunities to attune to, whether people or circumstance. Yes, even the creatures of the world, and the world itself. Set no limits. Disregard nothing as unworthy. Namaste.
