challenges, incarnation, larger life, oneness, opportunities, peace, the True Nature

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 vital presence of change and life

Changes

coexistence, diversity, evolution, flow of life, potential, the True Nature

JANU: Welcome, then, to that which precedes and proceeds change. The flow of life is always involved before, during, and after change, for change is an element of life that produces expression of potential and the wisdom it brings.

The evolution of life is a given. What does this mean, then, to the individual, as well as the rest of life expressions? It means an intimate relationship with the True Nature, the Nature of everything, for motion reveals life and life is imprinted in every part of your Nature, recognized by unlimited diversity of expression and life in motion. Not just physical life but beingness, understanding coexistence of everything, the experience of being conscious, aware and sensitive to more and more of reality.

Those who ignore these things have chosen ignorance, which is a quality of the freedom of being and is included in the reality of life. “Why?” you ask. Because even the path of denial is experience and wisdom gaining through the results of the denial, you see. Those results are an expression of life and its ongoingness. Even denial cannot escape the presence, the influence of life.

Change brings diversity to vitality and creativity. Namaste.

Comments Off on The veil is an identity shift

True Nature & Incarnate Life

awakening, identity, incarnation, the True Nature, the veil

JANU: The veil experience is real only in the sense of an identity shift. We have chosen, at the beginning of sojourn, to shift a portion of identity to the incarnate reality for the purpose of focused experience, immersion into that structure of life to gain wisdom, to have experience, to enrich life. The link between that limited identity and your total beingness is never broken. Awakening to the Larger Life is always on the table, so to speak. It is no more complicated or unattainable than just choosing. Doubts fostered by those who continue to linger in limited identity condition the choice.

We are one, always have been and always will be. Our total beingness has always been real and present. Our journeys are evidence of this and are part of the path of reawakening. We are one, conscious as one. Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys, The Human Condition

consciousness, the True Nature

JANU: The quality of humanity is demonstrated in its creativity that expresses high beauty, noble aspirations, and allows for something finer than itself. The Christmas spirit expresses the nobility of the True Nature of humanity. This occurs throughout humanity more than once a year. Christ Mass is a celebration of these ideals. Give it its due. See it in this way. Celebrate the source of human consciousness. Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

allowing, flow of life, the True Nature

JANU: Teaching is a relationship to explore, predicated on the assumption that there is a teacher/student relationship. Let us assume then, for the moment, that there is. Reaching into one’s so-called ‘bag of tricks’ or instruments of teaching, there is the spoken word. There is the demonstration. There is the direct experience. And there is the insight, revelatory beyond current awareness. And there is the True Nature, living in the flow of life.

So which one does one choose or, possibly, all of them? First, one must examine which one is valid for them and which one can the one being shared with relate to. One can listen to their words, observe their example, attune to their energies and consciousness, understand their body language, and point them towards their inner teacher, their True Nature. So, you see, it is a package approach to be guided on how to proceed, not to mention your own inner awareness of your own teacher. Then, the question arises, who is doing the teaching? Possibly, you are teaching each other, in different ways.

Allowing another to see your experience and observe your journey takes a bit of courage in this society that can easily find fault with, criticize or reject. But understand: there are those who are ready to hear and your example gives them the courage that someone will listen to them as they journey. It is true: nothing ventured, nothing gained. There is risk in everything, but benefit as well. So, is there a valid reason not to say, “Why not try?” Namaste.

Peace

awakening, challenges, identity, peace, perspective, the True Nature

JANU: Urgency seems to be the pattern sweeping human social consciousness at this time. Very few at peace; the pressure of circumstances weighing heavily. Survival is in confusion and, because of identity with the physical life, nothing beyond it seems as real, so everything seems in jeopardy.

Awakening to the Larger Life brings life into a larger perspective. Not the ‘all your eggs in one basket’ scenario that it seems. Physical existence is only a small part of the truth of your being. An important part and, while incarnate, the focus of existence. Finding and maintaining peace promotes balance in all of the systems of your existence, promoting well-being and longevity. Also keeping the consciousness open to wiser decisions and solutions.

Replacing urgency with the calm and peace of knowing, of resource of larger perspective, of clarity and priority is called for. The larger you, your True Nature, knows this. Prayer is not to something outside yourself, but with the truth of who you are and its resource, the gift of life that has always been with you and part of you. Don’t just witness challenges; see through them by way of your True Nature.

Life is richer, larger, and deeper than what you see outside of yourself, your surroundings. Claim your power. Choose wisely. The truth is within you. Namaste.

Miscellaneous Journeys

awakening, realities, the True Nature, the veil

JANU: Reality of the so-called planes of existence reveals that they are not completely individual and are more intertwined than many realize. The so-called veil makes it seem otherwise, but it is a tool of exploration, of singular focus in the midst of complexity of reality. Concentrating or focusing upon a point of interest, to a degree to the exclusion of others, reveals a detail ultimately to be explored in relation to larger realities, more inclusive existence. The consciousness employed in such ventures is, of course, constructed best suited for this. But realize that larger reality of being is more comprehensive and employs more of the True Nature.

So, in a sense, finite exploration of life is a window into larger realities, as they coexist. Opening the door wider in awakening to larger realities, including the current one, enriches everything and expands the finite consciousness, full of wonder for there is much to be remembered and discovered. There is a tendency to dissect Life to understand it, explore its components. But Life is a system, exploring which has merit, for each one’s existence is a system as well and has correlations.

Understanding and philosophy will be our systems as well, rich with elements that are changing and evolving. Compare a two-dimensional existence to a three-dimensional one as an illustration. Carry this further to a fourth dimensional one. It includes the lesser dimensions and beyond. Adding one group of parameters of existence changes everything. Namaste.

True Nature & Incarnate Life

coexistence, identity, larger life, the True Nature, the veil

JANU: What we are moving into here is the beginning of a perception of the reality of True Nature: focused consciousness, free to focus on any reality, coexisting with universal consciousness simultaneously. When relating to and understanding those who cherish identity, realize that it is a form of coexistence that includes the veil. What can be achieved here is relationship with life that no longer needs it but is still free to choose it. So identity, you see, is a form of focus, but when it consciously coexists with the Larger Life, one is no longer limited in that way. Eventually, intimacy with life as being one’s own Nature ensues, which leads to an intimacy of being the Family of Life. This is part of ‘being at peace.’ Time and distance no longer define your consciousness. Namaste.

Elements of Awakening

awakening, destiny, potential, the larger life, the True Nature

JANU: Elements of reality bespeak of destiny that describes peaceful creativity, harmonious relationships, immeasurable diversity, realization of potential. And not just of humanity, you see, but Earth itself and all of its creatures. It is a package, and the True Nature is a part of this. And understand this, for destiny is not a mystery just to wonder of. It is the fabric of life on so many levels.

What we speak of here is awakening and all that that means. Becoming conscious of and then conscious as. Looking not just for miracles but becoming them, being them. For the potential of life is no less than this. The future and the potential are one. The potential is the future. So, the question is not just “What is the future?” but “What is the full reach of potential and how does that evolve?”

Elements of Awakening

awakening, balance, consciousness, the True Nature, the veil

JANU: We speak of long lasting traditions of not just awakening but of life, enriched by and larger than the veil. Yes, humanity is awakening. All of life is evolving, but the nature of each expression is different. “But what ties all this together?” you ask. It is the nature of Life itself. Usually when considering, contemplating the elements of Life, they are the manifestations not the true nature. But they are all expressions of that Life and describe it to a degree. The question remains “What is the true nature of Life?”

When contemplating the true nature of others, including oneself, it is not a thing separate from creations. It is one with all of these creations, so one must ponder collectives, composites, aggregate understanding, coexistent realities yet diverse beyond imagination. Observation of true nature tugs at peace, acceptance, and faith. Direct knowing is a challenge to the incarnate structure, mind, causing awakening to see the elusive as a reality. The realization of the reality of true nature is a natural experience, not so much from analysis but acceptance. Confidence, willingness, and love are harmonious balance of the merging of consciousness from finite to the infinite. It is a process of life. It has its own parameters and destiny.
