Awakening to solutions within

JANU: Prevalent in these times is the urge to make sense of life: the reason for being, the reality of ‘deity,’ the dignity of self, the purpose of life, the pursuit of happiness. The challenge to perceive the role of humanity’s choices in the creation of current conditions of society and environment brings understanding to the power inherent in human potential. The external challenges and conditions have solutions but they lie within. Many do not realize or experience their inner power to answer these. This is part of awakening.

Finding peace within the self makes this easier. Choosing the genius of understanding in one’s own Nature is rewarding and brings reason or self-love. Most feel alone in life, with a vague notion of deity and its influence or presence, something distant, other-worldly and uncertain. Awakening reveals the dignity and the deity within the self. One’s own True Nature is divine. One is never alone and this presence of being is always there.

Worship the truth of your being, in the temple you are. Meet every challenge with insight and understanding. Namaste.

Understanding prayer

JANU: Prayer in its infancy was called upon to resolve the issues of diplomacy, contentions between people and their struggles at a time when the mysteries of life were beyond the ken of the people, driven by an unconscious imprint of reality larger than incarnate understanding of existence. ‘Let there be peace’ became a mainstay, not realizing fully the implication of its larger meaning.

So what we say here at this time is putting one’s attention upon a source of solutions to not understanding life and its circumstances is part of everyone’s legacy of their True Nature. Let us continue, then, to place an emphasis upon the pursuit of understanding through the reality of our True Nature and its oneness with the Larger Life. Be at peace in the midst of challenge, to perceive its opportunity. Namaste.

The nature of change: Process

JANU: Processing change  is an exploration of the evolution of any part of life. Everything being connected in one way or another describes the so-called ripple effect of any change throughout life. This is the process of change. Initiating change is one thing, but processing change is quite another one. Let us explore, then, the nature of change.

Life evolves, being in motion constantly. Change does not occur isolated but it can be focused. But even the focus evolves, you see, which changes the relationship.  With the initiation of change, the degree of peace established influences the process of change for the harmony it brings to the systems of life supports communication and influence.

So, you see, evolution has many elements, with varying degrees of mutual influence, which in turn effects the results of change. Difficult to embrace one element of life without embracing others. Everything in flux, everything coexisting. The process of change is a journey in life full of wonder, apparent miracles and, to varying degrees, prepares one for further change.

Life renews itself, focuses itself, benefits potential, deepens and expands. Namaste.

A larger reality than individualism

JANU:    Begin, then, to assimilate peace and listening more deeply into these journeys. The depth and texture of love has many faces. Loving oneself into awakening establishes a foothold into the larger reality of life.

‘We are one’ has a larger reality than individualism. Loving oneself is preparation for enlightened expression, embracing the reality of connection. ‘We are one’ includes others as well, whether incarnate or not. Allow the many forms of love to flourish throughout your being—our being. Serve others by example. Namaste.

Change is everywhere

JANU: Allowances are wisely made in the presence of change. The flow of life is the movement of changes, the ingredients of evolution. The nature of changes determined by the parameters of existence. So, you see, adaptations, allowances, are called for determined by the cycles of life.

What we see here is resistance to these in the interest of preservation of uniformity, regularity, so-called peace and stability, when in truth the eternal stability reality is change, which is life in motion. So one would choose to be alert to changes, understand their nature and their opportunities. The peace comes from the experience of predictability that this will occur. So will the perception, the understanding, the experience, and the wisdom.

One can almost sense the future approaching by way of this. All change sheds light upon what led to it. Let there be peace through understanding. Namaste.

More on ‘being at peace’-2

JANU: Experiencing ‘being at peace.’ What is the nature of it? It is a sense of harmony within all the systems of the being, harmony with each other, integrity throughout. All systems mutually beneficial, and there is power in it, for life is powerful. So choose and allow ‘being at peace’ with life.

That is correct. Experience the presence of it. The experience extends beyond time/space, but includes it, for Life is more than physicality. The elements of your being are beyond time/space, are not physical, yet they are in harmony with life.

Pretense, fear and social image

JANU:    Fear challenges social relationships, communication. It is sensed by others and interferes with connection, wanting to present a certain image as perceived necessary in society yet hides their feelings. Pretense to oneself avoids the pain of responsibility. Being honest with oneself about everything contributes to peace. Choose to own everything about your experiences, preferences, capabilities, and desires. Be an open book to Life. Namaste.

Qualities worthy of attention & support

JANU:   Awakening is a journey. Many abilities to be realized that are not common: direct knowing, manipulation of matter, focusing of energies, true blessings, insight, peace in the presence of challenge, inspiring others with wisdom and confidence and loving themselves, perceiving the incarnate life in a larger way, peace and happiness for no reason, the wonder of children.

There are many beautiful realities to life. These qualities and more are worthy of our attention and support. Namaste.

The fruits of awakening

JANU: Serving, then, the light of the world. Global blessing to include nuances of individual and group awakening. Be mindful of the power of peace. It is that which supports awakening, for awakening is a peace-filled experience.

Some signs of this are a lowering of tensions, harmonious creativity, more joy in living, a loving relationship with the creatures of the world that they can respond to, moderating weather over time, better distribution of wealth and resources. Just a beginning, you see. The fruits of awakening are the feedback, have always been the measurement of a blessing. All in good time, life in motion. Employ peace. Namaste.

Understanding the nature of peace

JANU: Peace belongs to those who are engaged in the relative discipline of a structure that is in harmony with the patterns and nature of life. One does not create peace. One embraces it, attunes to it, allows it. Peace is the nature of being.

The struggles of humanity are conditioned perceptions of creating—manifesting—peaceful conditions externally. Peace has a natural vitality. It is the foundation for creativity, understanding, empathy, attunement, well-being, the flow of life, oneness.
