Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, discovery, opportunities, self-realization

JANU: We are pushing on then, so to speak, with our current adventure. And adventure it is, our brother, awakening to the reality of life, and who you are, and what you can be, and all you have been. Appreciate every discovery, every understanding as an adventure full of surprise, wonderment, solution, reasonableness, and the passion to continue.

A valuable question one can ask themselves, “Is living an adventure?” No matter the discovery, what a wonderful way to begin each day, looking forward to the adventure. Even if it is only applying what you’ve already discovered, to reveal new depths to that moment. Sleeping at night, our brother, is one as well. Your interests, your desires, your passions for living influence the adventure, are part of its purpose. Each person you meet can be an adventure, and for them as well.

This brings enthusiasm into the moment and marshals creative energies, activates mental ability, stimulates the mind and emotions, enriches the ego, brings magic into your life. Confusion is replaced with understanding, solution, and new possibilities. This is not a frivolous pursuit, but has real substance and depth, a foundation to embrace life. Part of why many engage in risky pursuits, it is the magic of adventure which energizes everything.

Imagine looking forward, with positive anticipation, to every new day. Every moment of insight, enhancement of faculties, learning how rich you are having nothing to do with money or possessions or so-called powerful friends. The best friend you will ever have is who you truly are. Discovering your nature is the grandest adventure. Awakening within reveals the truth of everything outside of you, so to speak. Allow adventure into your life. Namaste.

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, flow of life, magic of life, oneness, potential, self-realization

JANU: The subject today is self-realization, understanding that ‘self’ also refers to Life itself. The pursuit to knowledge, consciousness, evolution, creativity, loving, building, relationships, mutual support and service, these elements of life encourage their continuation. The question you raise is “Why? What’s the motivator? What is the purpose of awakening more and more, to what?”

The simple truth, our brother, is that the Source of Life, of which everyone is a part and is patterned from, has an imperative to realize itself through its potential and manifestation for reality exists in even larger ways than this, our brother. Your reality of existence, as you are understanding, is not just as a human being but as a spiritual being, of which there are countless others. But all of this represents collective life, and even it has a source reality that began it all. “Began” not being appropriate here. That is a human term based on time/space. So how does one embrace infinity, eternity, continued reality of that which has no beginning? These movements in consciousness, these imperatives to evolve, to ask questions and seek answers are issues that are larger than finite purposes. Your consciousness is experimenting, it is exploring with incarnate life, but it’s still life, our brother. Micro- and macrocosm are one. Their purpose, their achievements are one. Being in the flow of life speaks to this.

The answer to your questions are larger than the questions, you see, but are inherent in them. The pursuit to understand, experience, and gain wisdom is a manifestation of self-realization, not only for you but for Life itself. Who can answer the questions: What is it? What is all that you can be, and why do you want to know? Why begin the journey? Because you are Life realizing all that it can be, which is an expression of all that it is. The wonders that arise from these pursuits describe the magic of life. What greater journey is there, our brother, than to be one with all that can be? Welcome to who you are. Namaste.

Proficiency without judgment

Comments Off on Proficiency without judgment

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, inspiration, self-realization

JANU: We are cementing relations, if you will, on this series of journeys, establishing protocol, and earning respect for proficiency. You admire those in the professional music industry. Musicians you see as masters of their craft and lifting the spirits and consciousness of those who enjoy these arts, do inspire one to excel as they may in their endeavors. So it is with these journeys, our brother, mastering the craft, if you will, becoming proficient.

There are those who dabble and those who push themselves to excel. And all of these have worthy involvement. Realize, our brother, that their involvements have history, in most cases. Remember, life is not linear but can appear so, briefly. The growth into proficiency is not limited to the achievements in one sojourn, so comparisons have little merit. Even self-appraisal in the moment does not necessarily reflect the past or future achievements. So, enjoy the moment and the involvement and be grateful for it. For it remains a part of life to be drawn upon in one way or another. Consign not ‘awakening’ to degrees. Each moment of experience has merit.

So it is with others you meet and observe and serve. Encouraging others does not exclude encouraging yourself. Be sensitive to the achievements of others, whether they are aware of them or not. Namaste, our brother.

Wisdom

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, inspiration, memories, self-realization, wisdom

JANU: We are patterning today to bring out latent confidences. The challenge is not new understandings, new realities, new capabilities. The challenge is to become them. Remembering previous experience and abilities brings confidence. Realizing you have done this before, many times, melts the barriers of incredibility. So we focus this day on having done this before.

The first approach, the first step, is remembering what was accomplished with these abilities and they bring credibility to the capability. Allow memory, then, of a previous existence in another world where you and your compatriots were the Wisdom Guides for different cultures, tapping into the memories of those you served to bring them their confidence of their own abilities. Now, these achievements were not calculated, manipulated, or engineered into existence. They came more naturally by opening to their reality without the conditioning of others who had no understanding.

Now, one learns rather quickly that the dispensing of specific wisdom tailored for an individual or small group can ultimately bypass their own efforts and earnings or ability by being an easier path than owned achievements. So, what is wisdom, our brother? Shared understanding, but not bypassing the strength-building, confidence-building reach for awakening.

Yes, awakening is a personal experience with measures of wisdom, of support and inspiration. We of the Brotherhood of Light have long served in this way. It takes patience, thoughtfulness, and a history of experience, with caring and loving monitoring of what unfolds. This is knowledge you already have, our brother, which describes your reluctance to be a so-called ‘teacher’ in the ordinary sense of your world. We are not here to carry you, but to inspire. Inspiration based upon your deep desires and truth that lives within you.

We speak of associations and collaborations. A developing and deepening wisdom is key to this. The true inspiration of another serves both equally. In different ways at times, but never to the expense of another’s opportunity of self-realization. But the march of life goes on, our brother, and no matter your proficiency, the desire remains to be helpful and serve life in harmony with its nature. If one is lifted, one lifts themselves, then all are lifted, our brother.

Ponder wisdom carefully, patiently, foundationed in a peaceful love of life. Namaste.

Appreciating the value of each element of life

Comments Off on Appreciating the value of each element of life

Awakening II: Associations & Collaborations

awakening, co-existence, destiny, evolution, larger life, self-realization

JANU: How is it, then, that humanity needs encouragement to embrace the larger life of which the Earth life is a part? It is the nature of evolution, our brother, that element of life that is subject to so many influences yet, at the same time, has a destiny. This is not just a time/space issue, you see, or influence. But one must consider from the larger point of view the countless elements of existence that touch each other. The destiny of any species, and its evolution, does not occur in isolation. The inspirations that we offer are part of this larger tapestry of life, not the only influence or inspiration but part of many. As many individuals that exist, whether conscious incarnate or not, there are constant elements of evolution at play. Even a passing thought, our brother, of interest plays a role. These journeys we take and have compiled are only part of a larger movement of life, and even they are created by so many influences, beings, circumstance, interactions.

So, describing awakening, evolution, and destiny in words is futile. Even the perception of these is limited. So the question becomes: why proceed? Because these elements of life, our brother, are part of the magic that is life and consciousness is raised in so many ways. So compare not any contribution to the raising of consciousness to any other. You proceed because it serves life, without requiring to see the whole picture, you see. The whole picture exists, and is evolving, but each piece of the puzzle is as important as any other to complete the picture. Everything is of value.

The larger life is not defined by time/space. That is only part of it and it all coexists and is one. It is difficult for the human oriented consciousness, conditioned by society, to see everything as of equal value. Learn to perceive, to appreciate the value of any part of life on its own merit, without comparison. A peaceful way to live, free of judgement, condemnation, diminished value. Everything matters, our brother, at all times. On this foundation, explore life, every journey, every encounter, every endeavor. Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

oneness, self-realization, symbols, the True Nature

JANU: The focus of ‘Religion and Churches’ is a revealing one. You ask, “What do they represent and what do they accomplish for society?” For they are a construct of society, symbolizing its deep desire for something profound and truthful in their lives.

What we look for here is movement beyond the symbolism into what the symbolism represents. Performing symbolic ritual does not get you there, on its own. Owning within you what it represents brings you the peace of victory within the search. The true teacher within each one is symbolically represented by the preacher or minister, the appointed head of the church, the student of the religion memorizing and attempting to understand the scripture, attempting to resolve issues in the lives of the parishioners. All of this is useful, but crossing the threshold of ownership, bringing understanding to your questions, your issues, from within brings a confidence in life by the inner strength through experience that everything can be understood and mastered. Scripture alludes to this here and there, but it can’t step through the doorway for you.

Get to know your teacher within and you will discover that the teacher is who you truly are, and have always been. Speak your truth from ownership, and your oneness with others is revealed and felt and accepted. Move beyond the symbol, experience and own what it represents. The symbol is a shell for a larger truth. It is the beginning of the journey, not the destination. And the destination, our brother, is vast and always evolving. Namaste.

Living as a complete being

Comments Off on Living as a complete being

Elements of Awakening

co-existence, oneness, self-realization

JANU: Of interest this morning is the venue of life that is a blend of physical and non-physical to the point where one is not seen as isolated from the other. This is coming to humanity. It’s always been there, but not consciously. One life, our brother, in the attributes. Open the consciousness to recognizing, embracing the one life reality while incarnate. Not just in your inspirations, but in thought processes, decision making.

In the nature of physicality, solids are not always solid. The properties of matter have many origins; one material is not limited to its common properties. In a sense, make the transition without ‘making the transition’ and you will see that materiality already has. Acknowledge your body has a subtle existence as well and is healthiest when the reality of this is not only embraced, supported, but expressed in the life. When you leave the body, you are already there.

Experience your body as more than physical, but with direct connection to the subtler realms of life. It’s all one, our brother. Live this way. Be at peace. Rejuvenate naturally. In reality, the body has a universe of realities, a living system that emulates universality. Dwell upon this. Allow it to be your experience. Nothing is lost; everything is gained. Live your day as a complete being. Namaste, our brother.

The essence of life

Comments Off on The essence of life

Power to Create

cycles, freedom, inspiration, self-realization

JANU: This evening’s focus is the essence of life. Essential life is represented by its imperative to exist. Realizing its potential is an extension of this. And the power to create is the faculty. The power to change and adapt is part of its wisdom. The power to think, process, experience, understand, and appreciate relationships is life owning its creations, absorbing them, building its foundation for re-creation simultaneously. There is a feedback system, a circle of life, what you have called the looping reality of life. Creation, manifestation, assimilation, re-creation changing and flowing in harmony with its own being. Everyone is part of this. Everyone’s True Nature is part of this.

This is essential ‘isness’ that allows all creation without judgment, condemnation. Pure ‘isness.’ No right or wrong. Complete freedom to be. Fully vital. Unlimited by any creation or reality. The true essence of life is present and essential for the singularity to all of the universes and beyond. Each one plays their role, serving the essence of life, contributing, magnifying, expanding. No one is insignificant, neither person or creature or nature.

This is conveyed to encourage an awakening of the sense of the reality of the essence of each one’s being. No one is smaller or larger, in significance, to another. The essence of your being, your significance, your contribution to life is eternal. Stand firmly in the Truth of your being, with an open mind, an open heart, and a loving spirit. Namaste.

Leadership

Comments Off on Leadership

Elements of Awakening

challenges, collective consciousness, inspiration, self-realization, the True Nature

JANU: Our attention this morning is turned to a form of leadership among nations not limited to politics and governments, but to the hearts and minds—and, yes, souls, if you will—of the people. We encourage continually the emerging of the reality of the True Nature in the consciousness of people. This is true leadership, for it is from within, the so-called Divine within.

More and more of collective humanity is moving into the arena of self-determination and a general caring for each other. More and more individuals will become aware that their hopes, desires, dreams, ambitions, and visions for their life are more common than they realized in the lives of others. And, in so doing, realize that cooperation and coordination of these serves everyone better than, more fully than, individual pursuits. Collective humanity is beginning to be realized individually.

Some governments attempt to construct themselves, to a degree, in this way. But the motivation for their existence is to stay in power. Yes, there are a few who are inwardly motivated but the pressures of survival cause pandering to the selfish interests of the power brokers. The military does not want an end to conflicts. It is the justification for their budgets and, ultimately, their existence. Many make a living servicing humanity’s troubles, not open to new careers serving humanity’s peace, happiness, and successes.

Choosing with wisdom what you serve in life takes honesty and courage. Being true to who you truly are, the Divine within, is a challenge in today’s social climate, but the rewards are more immediate and enriching than you might suspect. That is leadership, our brother, leading people in the direction of their own True Natures. Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

consciousness expansion, inspiration, memories, self-realization

JANU: Coalescing understandings into vocabulary takes getting used to in the beginnings of communication. Even though words hold meaning for the human listener, they say so little about the understanding they are generated from. Each one’s life has far more meaning and potential and service to life than all of the vocabulary that tries to describe it.

Humanity is concerned with self-worth, the worth of their lifetime, of their day, of their thoughts and feelings. Realize this, that your worth is already beyond that. In truth, your contributions to life, your existence, are eternal. They are not limited to one sojourn. They continue on and on, as do you. In time, more of humanity will understand themselves in this way, and all of their contributions, their existences survive past incarnation. Accepting who you are as an eternal being opens the consciousness to the truth of that existence. And the memories return and the wisdom and the capacity to be and to create more life, more opportunities for each other.

We are aware of this, our brother, and see this in ourselves as well. Why would we not continue to serve humanity and all it can be, appreciating every moment of your existence from an eternal point of view? And appreciation of all that you are brings a peaceful happiness and joy at being part of life.

Leave thoughts of limitation and life spans and timetables behind. They do not contain your future. They put limits on the unlimited truth of who you are. They serve a very small purpose in the affairs of society. Nothing more. You are unlimited being. Live like one. Namaste.
