Wise counsel

JANU: Wise counsel, our brother, stems from a measure of compassion, caring about the plight of another. Not agreeing with, but a sensitivity to, suffering which has many forms. Helping another own, through understanding, their responsibility and their role in the suffering or in the circumstance inspires the courage and the strength to own their responsibility and reclaim their power.

These ups and downs, ins and outs, of human experience are part of growing. Nothing wrong with these. They are opportunities to master their lives. Helping each other reach into the depths of their consciousness, of their life patterns whether from this life or another, helps bring about the inner peace that enriches their sovereignty.

Let us begin, then, by understanding this as we move forward. Compassion, our brother, is not sympathy, which is ‘agreeing with’ another’s circumstance, including your own. Compassion is the willingness to help each other find peace and understanding and the power to re-create their life path. Thank you, and namaste.

Challenges and victories are one

JANU: We are taking into account, as we may, the empowerment of another in the face of their challenges and choices. You are quite correct, our brother. Empowerment is self-induced, by choosing to accept in your consciousness full responsibility for your experiences and your choices. This is not punishment from life. It is empowerment. It is your divine right to manage your life, learn and grown from it, and at the same time serve others that they may as well.

So, the focus at this time is inspiring empowerment. This is what some would call ‘tough love’ but it is love nonetheless, our brother, and it is part of the path into freedom and a richer future. Hold another in the light of understanding. Help them see the truth behind everything, including themselves, and through this acceptance of responsibility comes insight to understand and make wiser choices. This is a growth experience.

We encourage others to see this in that way. Challenges are not punishment. They are opportunities to excel, to recover from the perception of loss of power and reclaim it. No matter the challenge, our brother, stand in your integrity, in your truth, and in your right to choose and accept responsibility for those choices and move on. Be a tower of strength in your own life and a peaceful one.

Enrich your life in this way and the path gets a little clearer, you see. Challenges and victories are one. Namaste.

There’s always a solution

JANU: We are engaging, if you will, the predominant cause for confusion and dismay in human society. What brings these about triggers procrastination in accepting responsibility for manifesting change and solutions. Every creative flow, instinct, journey requires a core foundation or connection with the core of truth at the heart of anything. When reaching for the wind, continuity of understanding or thought seems nonexistent. A core of understanding that brings peace of mind when searching the unknown is the reality that there is always an answer, a solution, and reason will prevail. What purpose is there in having opportunities, circumstances, and wonderings to resolve without understanding and its connection to core truths? There is always a solution.

Anchor your seeking for answers in this. Much exists whether there is understanding or not, only to be discovered through the persistence of the desire to know. Let not confusion and frustration and depression rule the moment. Attune to the truth at the heart of every concern. Life is vast, our brother, with countless realities and mechanisms of life. Consciousness can connect and reveal solutions. Finding the answers is rooted in the conviction that they are there. Namaste.

Being strong, resilient and insightful

JANU: Sheltering humanity from challenges does not promote awakening. Encouraging insight, survival, motivation, engagement of challenges, the wisdom to proceed, strength of commitment, the confidence in one’s own nature. These are parts of awakening, our brother.

Sovereignty is a foundation for keeping on and overcoming. The words are easy; the commitments take strength, insight, understanding, wisdom. Not shrinking from personal responsibilities and group cooperation have their rewards. No matter the outcomes, always looking for—anticipating—renewal, new opportunities, and being part of life itself, with its unlimited resolve and resource.

Focus upon what you know to do, what you understand. Be at peace with the knowledge that life continues. Be open to joy wherever you find it. Create it whenever you may. Always be about your capabilities and support each other. We of the Brotherhoods of Light are always connected, present, ready to assist where we may. Overcome hopelessness in the face of everything. Feel strong, resilient, and connected. Namaste.

A vision of leadership and destiny

JANU: We are speaking to, if you will, the proliferation of and dissemination of aggressive tendencies in the political arena. These attitudes and motivations speak of times of change, not so much the focus of the aggressiveness but the timing and amount of it. Balance includes a consideration of extremes. Aggressive tendencies come from frustrations and repressions. The conflicts in the world at this time stem from this.

A balanced approach to life takes into account the extremes of life, balancing their influence and patterns of existence to work together for the middle way that is more powerful but not separate from the extremes of life. A balanced view considers the entirety as components of collective reality with the inherent strength to embrace or engage life’s many challenges. The mind that only sees or understands one thing versus another does not grasp this easily. The balanced view sees the reality of everything and models these into a workable collective.

The leadership of your country is waiting for this, but not understanding how to achieve it. Your two party system is drifting away from this balanced view and needs a leader who can recapture it. That is the vision we speak of here, for someone who is coming, but not here yet, not in the forefront. This coming one may elect to be a leader openly or work behind the scenes to redirect and inspire those leaders who are open to a wiser view. Yet remains to be seen, but either course is what’s needed. This one is not against the extremes of life, but coordinates, collaborates, includes the contributory strength of all factions.

This will move humanity forward, losing nothing of its inherent strengths and abilities, creative genius, commitments and endurance, and loving nature, but gaining so much more. For as humanity reaches beyond its world, the opportunities and challenges are great and many. Preparation for the future is what we speak of here. This is not the only world or species struggling with this. Much to learn from each other through experience. The awakening of humanity includes this purpose and scenario as well, becoming more and more aware, more conscious of the realities of life, its potential and destiny. Namaste.

Helping others become more sovereign

JANU: We are celebrating the many victories in human consciousness, the greater clarity of thought, purpose, motivation, and service. There are ways to help each other without bringing anyone down.

The primary ingredient is each one taking responsibility for their lives, accepting the assistance of others but that assistance not taking the place of the responsibility. Helping each other be responsible is a grand service. One does not always understand clearly their own responsibility, their own capacities to achieve, to understand, to stand in their integrity. Being an example of that as you assist another is a balanced reality, and a strong one. Assisting another by assuming their responsibilities is enslavement. Where is their victory then, their enduring strength, their foundation to proceed?

Be thoughtful in your assistance, that a growing depth of understanding and balanced view inspire others to achieve sovereignty and know that they can. This takes patience, a caring and loving disposition, and a deepening understanding of their nature and circumstance as well as your own. Wise counsel is of great value. Give it freely. Accept it the same way. This progression of the flow of life speaks for itself. Namaste.

Awakening 26: Responsibility and awakening

JANU: Taken with a measure of self-importance—and make no mistake, our brother, each one is important—one can assume the responsibilities of a larger life. Awakening opens this door, for with knowledge and experience and wisdom comes power and influence. What we are saying here: there is responsibility accrued with awakening. You have posed the question in the past to others, “If you had unlimited power, would you use it?” Awakening leads to this, our brother, and that’s what responsibility is, the ability to respond. Doing so responsibly is the hallmark of wisdom and your True Nature is rich with this. Remember now, this is who you truly are. Look to your true identity for wisdom, moment by moment, for with awakening the moments arrive, unbeckoned at times.

Now, experiencing this process is not burdensome but a joy, for there is a lightness and a freedom and a peace that comes from the beauty of life unfolding. Responsibility is a blessing, for it is an opportunity to reveal who you are and the nature of life. Responsibilities without awakening, without knowledge and wisdom, without the peace that love brings, can be confusing and disappointing.

So, responsibility, our brother, is part of the mix, and awakening is a mixture of so many opportunities, capabilities, understandings. It is the path of return to all you know and have known, all you have become and are becoming. Grow in the ability to respond to countless opportunities through awakening. Be responsible in harmony with others who enrich life with their gifts and abilities. Self-importance is not selfish. It leads you to understand and respect the importance of others and the qualities they bring to life. Namaste.

Individual sovereignty

JANU:    For this morning’s journey, we continue with the awakening of humanity into the larger life by expanding an understanding of the human condition to a more sovereign life. Instead of having authorities represented in your life, setting down rules, limits, regulations, outlined procedures, in a dictated sense of right and wrong, sovereignty on the path of awakening includes taking responsibilities and developing the skills to achieve these on your own. Now, you ask the question, “What of uniformity in these policies and laws, when the evolution from within is from so many individuals, with their perspectives of life’s possibilities?” These developments from within will be standardized from one person to another by virtue of the innate sense of fairness, compassion, honoring of yourself and others, inspired by the True Nature and its love of life.

This does not mean that everyone’s emerging sovereignty will be exactly the same. They will not. They will be diverse, bringing strength, versatility, and endurance to their sovereignties. The laws of authorities are not perfect in themselves, for their application to the people is far from uniform and, in many cases, not just or fair or equally applied. For their foundation is fear of chaos, loss of control, and disruption of economic flow. They were justified as a temporary measure until humanity awakened to their True Nature, their true sovereignty and responsibility from within. Another benefit, our brother, of the awakening of humanity.

Even though many individual sovereignties will exist, so does the collective humanity which will yield a balance of these perceptions with a direction and a destiny. So let us explore the path of individual sovereignty and how that can occur. It begins with introducing the people to the concept that this is true and real and they need not fear individual chaos and loss of control and a life inappropriate to the norms of the day. These moments of insight will demonstrate first to the individual, and then to others and society, that the inner sovereignty relieves the pressures of violence and conflict struggling in the name of justice and fairness and equal opportunity.
