Encouragement on the path of awakening

JANU: We often speak of peace, its true power and role in awakening and in well-being. It goes hand in hand, connecting with the nature of your being and the deeper mysteries of life. Awakening is not a bargain you make with life or yourself. It has to do with a trust and a faith in the Truth of Life. Awakening is not just self-serving but contributes to the serving of all of humanity. Everything being connected reveals that what you engage in to build life, to create it, to evolve it, to realize its potential is service that touches everything. These journeys are such a service, as are many other endeavors of those who serve.

More and more, there is expansion of consciousness inspired by the truth within. The evolution of human consciousness is the composite of all of these, the movement from darkness into light. Even those possessed of their destructive ways are purging their systems of Light, their consciousness, of the darkness that seems to consume them. Changing the direction in your life can seem difficult, for how do you replace it with something you don’t understand and, as a result, fear? Make the choice to change from within. Allow yourself to see life differently. Ask yourself what can you be that would be more fulfilling.

Large changes, our brother, begin with small decisions. Your outer life is filled with opportunities to apply those decisions and see their result. Confidence builds with each application and experience. Learn to recognize the patterns of energy, emotions, thoughts, with each decision, each application, and each result. It strengthens the connection with the Light that lives within you. Do not be in a hurry. Be patient with yourself and life’s responses. Get used to the changes, and they will become a way of living.

This is the path of awakening. Start small and build. The rest will come, and you will discover you are not alone in this. And your True Nature will bring you insight, encouragement, and strength. Namaste.

A peaceful and casual life

JANU:    Casual is the theme this morning. And what do we mean by this? Casual speaks to an ease in the midst of moving through your day, your challenges, your opportunities, your relationships, and your searching for the truth. Being at peace is not quite the same. Being at peace is more powerful in the sense of being at one with, attuning to. Being at ease softens the intensity which can be a distraction to flow. Being at ease in your quests minimizes any sense of urgency. Natural flow of the movement of life has an ease to it. Being casual allows for natural assimilation. The elements of consciousness and the body find balance with each other, for new understandings and experiences define balance with what is already established and the outcomes in your life define their natural fit.

Casualness does not mean indifference or lack of interest, but a more lighthearted approach to what is and what will be. Resisting change and the intensity of pushing for change with impatience is a disturbance in the flow. Balance becomes elusive. The flow of understanding and the natural fit become overshadowed. Being casual and at peace allows for harmonious relationships to endure the many changes. Urgency is noisier than the subtle realities that describe life more fully and the simple truths that are so powerful. Longevity is enhanced, embracing these qualities. Consider these carefully. Namaste.

Growing familiarity with your True Nature

JANU: We are encouraging familiarity with more of your True Nature, for familiarity is a natural path to trust, confidence, open communication, mutual respect, and a deepening love. Your True Nature has these qualities and many more. Walk through your incarnate life with a growing familiarity, conscious involvement, with your best partner in life; an incarnate journey no longer separate from any part of you.

Walking through life in your integrity, a growing understanding and wisdom at the root of your choices, heals if you will disturbances in consciousness, thoughts and emotions that interfere with your well-being, the performance of your body, and your vitality. Inspire others to find their truth by way of the integrity of your own. A life full of changes, evolution, new discoveries, yet steady in purpose, commitment, patience with yourself and with others, enduring wholeness in the moments of your life.

Awakening, our brother, is enriching. Share what you own, the gifts of living. Your True Nature possesses great wisdom, has access to life resources and their blessings. Being a channel of these allows them to move through your life and touch others and benefit from the blessings that move through theirs. Remember, receiving and giving are one, each as powerful as the other. They complete each other.

The path of awakening reveals you are never alone in life. It can seem that way, but only if you choose it. Listen to the life story of others. They benefit from expressing it. Listen with patience. The connection benefits you both. Namaste.

JANU: We are attending to the mass of information available to so many. How does one sort through, sift, or winnow that which is needed in the moment for each one? Understand this, then, our brother, that the selection process or opportunity carries with it the burden of proof to the individual. So, portraying in the life the understanding which is gained or received is the proving process, is the winnowing, if you will, that the selections are based upon. What draws your interest from deep within? We do not mean entertainment here, but the information, the understanding has a life that connects with you.

Now, each understanding gained and applied to the life is not necessarily empirically linked to the next one, at least not immediately obvious. So, a certain openness and faith in the wisdom of your True Nature and the universal intelligence of life itself is of value. It is not necessary to expose yourself to all there is to understand, but to grow into it as needed, based on where you are in your life and what lies before you. Appetites are of value, however must be applied wisely. This we endeavor in choosing the subject of each journey and its content, visiting the subject more than once to help answer questions that new understandings inevitably bring. When responding to the questions of another, trusting in this wisdom is part of the service, you see.

Any quest to gain knowledge, experience, and abilities must be tempered with the patience that allows for pioneering pursuit yet insight into the potential ramifications. A balance between the appetite of discovery and the seeming delay of process, for once knowledge is attained it is coupled with responsibility for what you do with it. And employment of that responsibility has results. So, in the pursuit of awakening, these principles serve well.

Awaken according to your capacities, with guidance and wisdom from within and the opportunities of the moment. One can sense there is always more to know, experience, and be. Reckless abandon is immature. Commitment to grow, serve life, gain wisdom, and a degree of patience are ingredients in the evolution of consciousness and the avoidance of unnecessary reversals, which can affect others as well. Be at peace, be patient, and keep on moving forward into the Light. Namaste, our brother.

Collaboration with the human journey

JANU: Let it be known that embarking upon this journey of life enriches your human journey in ways that cannot be foreseen without this larger involvement.

We understand that your desire is to jump into, if you will, relationships and collaborations. These will come in time, our brother, as they have already begun. Your awakening is not ready yet, but it is moving in that direction. Being patient with the natural order of unfoldment of new experience and capability that you call ‘awakening’ is a repeating reminder. Your movement in this direction is known, and others are ready to proceed. But they honor and agree with this preparation time, due to the significance of what is coming.

Your time on the Earth in the human experience does not exist to wander off into larger venues, distant venues. One of the collaborations of this series is between the human journey and other realities of existence and understanding. For the human journey is part of this, you see, this awakening and what it brings about. Too easy, then, to be distracted with fascinating realities and not collaborate with the human experience. So we focus at times, you see, on the merging of the two, for it is needed and is of service.

Hold this model of understanding in your consciousness as a vehicle for the realization of this collaboration. This is part of wisdom, our brother, gained through the application of awareness to experience. The merging of the so-called spiritual and the incarnate life has purpose that fulfills potential. Be at peace, our brother. All is well. Namaste.

Awakening and the flow of life

JANU:   What we have in store for this journey is a remembrance of a time when—time being a limited expression here—you were on a world in some ways like this one. Far more conscious and consciously active in the affairs of that world, in the role of guardian of its so-called secrets, looking for opportunity to share these with others of that world. The dilemma, of course, is how much and when and with whom.

The flow of life in any reality is not the conveyance of all there is to know and be without reservation. By ‘reservation’ we mean being in harmony with destinies, timing, preparation, capabilities, and the many currents of life.

You learned patience on that world, profound caring, and the reality that your contributions to life remain connected with you. There are legacies to your involvement. More than just memories, our brother, but real, active residuals that are not fixed but evolve, as your contributions evolve and expand.

Awakening to and being involved in the larger life is a continuous process, just as life is. Nothing lost; everything gained. Your involvement in the larger life makes your life larger. How can it be otherwise? Your life in this incarnation has become larger, as have your associations.

The theme here this morning is the reality that awakening is the embracing of a continuous movement in the flow of life that evolves and expands endlessly. The brief, limited identity of separation through the veil is very temporary and, in some ways, an illusion. For even under the veil, you become larger. Your life expands, as does your identity and sense of being. The human mind tends to think in terms of steps along the way, fixed plateaus and levels. Life is continuous, our brother. Nothing fixed about it. Even the illusion of physicality, isolated any way from so-called spiritual life, is a reality within a larger one.

So grow more aware of the expansion of your being, your identity, in all of your contemplations, involvements, and commitments. The movement, flow of life is present in every reality. Namaste, our brother.

Awakening 44: What happens to me?

JANU: Peace again, our brother, is part of the path to victory in awakening. One might ask, “When awakening, what becomes of me? Do I still exist?” Yes, our brother, but in a larger way.

Within the human experience, the consciousness can have several identifications: human being, philanthropist, engineer, designer, musician. Many identities but you are still you. When you awaken more fully, the identity expands to include much more. The identity has the capacity to interface with the human journey, but many other realities as well. What happens is that you become something more, our brother, more than you were aware of before, more possibilities. Nothing of the human identity is lost, you see, but understood more clearly. No longer limited to reacting to life experiences, but responding in a more complete way. You are still you, our brother, but you are more.

The me in ‘what happens to me?’ becomes a larger reality. The only thing that diminishes is ignorance. Your love for life and your own being expands, deepens, through understanding. In ignorance, these are only words. In awakening, they speak of a life that is more alive. It is stepping into the sunlight for the first time. Whatever your interests, you become more aware. More is revealed, not just of the life around you but the life within you. A growing freedom and presence. Being ‘born again,’ returning to all you have known. Physical experience is only one of many.

Allow your consciousness to adjust and settle into the experience. Patience is a challenge for many, but it serves you well and allows peacefulness. Functioning in this way while incarnate is a process. Balance is a good monitor of your progress, your pace of awakening. Namaste, our brother.

Owning memories

JANU: We exploring the memories that occur to you, and, for this exploration, those that you would change. But change them not, our brother. They are your journey through life, pearls of experience containing wisdom and understanding. Be grateful to have had them, for they speak of the human condition and the life that ensues from the evolution of consciousness. Be grateful and move on, knowing that there is no right or wrong to these, good or bad. They are experience and, in their way, reveal your future. They inspire new vision, commitment, purpose, different steps on your path of exploring life. Be aware of the fruits of these moments. You are divine being, spirit being.

Would you have a lifetime with nothing to learn from? Nothing to reveal choices? Own your memories. They enrich your life, your consciousness, no matter the memory. Through these you can love others as they are, with compassion, patience. Love yourself the same way. All of these, whether violent or not, enrich you. Do not reject them, or put your stamp of approved or disapproved on them. You have grown greatly from them. This is true for everyone, our brother.

Find peace in your integrity, no matter what. Bring joy where you may, forgiveness where you may, understanding where you may. Reflect what you’ve learned for others to see themselves in the mirror of life. And life is a mirror to see truly what is. Everything is all right in the presence of your honesty and truthfulness and love. Namaste, our brother.

A larger perspective of oneness with life

JANU: We are remembering when the Earth was young, and that life is ageless. Species came and went and life went on. And the life stream of souls came into view, manifested to match conditions, circumstances, environments. First existing spiritually as worlds were forming physically. The plan has always been to populate life with life’s own creations and countless realities. These changes in creation are still continuing.

These brief moments of sojourns are puzzle pieces in a larger picture that is still developing. What is evolving here is the management of sojourns’ elements merging with a consciousness embracing the larger life. The patterns and plans of life are not finished but still being created. You wonder of timetables for creations, completions of cycles. Your perspective should always be tempered with timelessness. Allowing your life, your sojourn, to unfold free of the pressures of timeframes, for the patterns and plans of life are not limited by these yet always changing.

So, as you move through your life dealing with all that offers, focusing on goals and your own plans, hang not onto them so tightly you miss the natural flow of life and the flow of changes, new perspectives, changing goals that accommodate, are at one with, life’s movements. Your life being part of it. A larger perspective of oneness with everything.

You are correct. As you seek to be at peace, realize that pure love of being and of life brings a grand peace that already exists. Be at peace with yourself and life. Be patient with everything. Be alert and notice what there is to understand without fear of engagement. Namaste.

Remembering who you are continued

Be sure to check out yesterday’s post.

JANU: We are organizing the steps to be taken entering into a peaceful solution to the pull to awaken. Each one has this tug from within for conscious union. Years of struggle are not required, yet patience is. The conscious human mind imagines so many obstacles, trying to dominate the experience thereby prolonging it, trying to be the source of your identity yet being only part of it. Your true identity being only a hair’s breadth away. Allow the memory to return naturally as the truth of who you are, peacefully, lovingly, sanely. Your wonderful journey of joy and happiness. Namaste.
