JANU: We are exploring the Now, its nature. We are speaking here of life patterns of the past, life patterns to be, and the source of them. Enriching life comes through living it and its many realities. The past, to some measure, is known. The future is anticipated, based upon these and intuition of potential. The NOW reality is the eternal presence of life as a creator. Identifying with the past or the future is a limitation, with purpose. The Now reality in consciousness is freer than this. It is flowing with life in its motion of expression.

There is life more basic than past and future. It is more causal than even present. Source is a better word than Now. The physical universe has a source reality that transcends past and future, more causal. The past and future are expressions of it. Thinking of exploring the reality of the coexistence of the past and the future liberates one from identity with either. They are creations continuing to create.

What is their nature? What continues their reality? What is the source of their vitality? Including your own True Nature. Lingering in this perspective of inquiry awakens consciousness to Source of Life, yet it is omnipresent in all life patterns in motion. It is pure being and it is not well described as “it” for ‘its success’ suggests boundaries and limitations. What is there, we ask, that is not the Source of Life or part of it?

A life expression being conscious as the Source of Life is challenged by identity with any one expression from it. The purpose of the veil, you see, among others. Being conscious as Now liberates. Namaste.

Exploring the Richness of Life

awakening, coexistence, evolution, Patience, the veil, True Nature & Incarnate Life, wisdom

JANU: We are exploring life and its wisdom. The evolution of humanity seldom takes into consideration the evolution of everyone’s True Nature. This is a so-called team effort, with one part more conscious than the other, temporarily. The wisdom of life is continuation in a realization of its potential in so many ways. The journey of the True Nature in the human consciousness is evolving.

The True Nature has the patience the human personality seldom does. It has to learn that, and its merit. The sense of urgency comes from the result of the veil isolating identity to one sojourn. When one compacts attention into limited time, many opportunities go by unnoticed. Life is richer than most realize and coexistence of its elements requires much patience to engage.

Consider carefully impatience and limited identity. Allow awakening of the consciousness, in every direction. So much is omnipresent to be awakened to. No need to create what already exists. Be an explorer of life, as well as an enricher. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

choices, diversity, evolution, identity, life in motion, the veil, Truth of Life

JANU: The Truth comes out, is revealed, manifests, creates along the lines of natural expression. By this we mean: Life is, we are, but the diversity of existence includes relationships that seem otherwise. When making choices in one’s own creativity, imagination and desires at times seem to conflict with observable existence. How does one, then, determine, perceive, understand these diversities in any light available? The successes of creativity, in the form of motion that flows with the ongoingness of Life’s reality, is observable as well and brings about revelations of deeper understanding and creativity.

Life in motion is constantly changing. The experience is a great revealer. Different realities have different paths of existence and revelation. The veil serves a purpose through focus. The existence of diversity with focus is through identity. All of Life realities coexist but their path of evolution and motion can overwhelm the consciousness of each identity’s reality of perception; therefore, the existence of time, relativity, space.

The experience brings understanding but there are processes of assimilation. Impatience is not easy to rein in. Thinking only in terms of one sojourn, one can misunderstand these processes and become impatient. Wisdom breeds patience. A worthy goal, you see, to not only understand Life but gain wisdom of its unfoldment. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

collective consciousness, harmony, identity, incarnation, life patterns, the veil

JANU: We are remembering when the discarnate life was the dominant consciousness, focus. Freedom to travel, so to speak, in simultaneous directions, so to speak. We had an entourage of like-minded, who began each journey with collective consciousness of experience and wisdom, to be opened to a more complete consciousness of the reality explored. Time and distance not realities to impede the duration of these journeys reaching into the duration of interest.

Personal identity was unlike the incarnate life. Not easy to describe in incarnate terms. Identity was based upon collective experience, understanding, perceptions. Identity with and is the depth and nature of life patterns matched and created. Vitality varied with involvement. Contributions to life were through connections. They still are. Shared consciousness, understanding, and life patterns formed relationships and still do. The veil has focused, and limited in some ways, involvements on a conscious level, but only temporarily, for the duration of the journey.

The sense of time and distance has limited patience and the drive to accomplish quickly. Productivity becomes imperative. Timelessness is seen as laziness but can be more productive, so to speak, in expansion of engagement and understanding. Sense of purpose has more depth and scope, but all of this is acceptable and in harmony with the Nature of Life. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

challenges, conscious union, evolution, flow of life, relationship, the veil

JANU: As requested, the focus is ‘challenges and solutions.’ Often, the challenges superficially are more readily apparent than the solutions. But not all challenges are physically obvious. Life is more diverse than that and all realities are connected.

So it is with solutions. Not all solutions are physical in their natures, but some more so than others. Rearranging relationships while being attuned to the flows of life allows solutions to flow as well, for the challenge and the solution are one. As stated earlier, look at the heart of any challenge and there lies the solution.

Accomplishing this is aided by a growing conscious union with the larger nature of your own being. Beyond the veil of forgetfulness, one is still connected. The desire to know and to be acts as a key to unlock the path to knowingness, to conscious union, which strengthens with each achievement.

See not challenges as unknowable in their solution. You are one with all of life. Explore it. Grow in your understanding of it and your relationship with it. Challenges and solutions coexist. All of life coexists. Be an explorer, a discoverer, a revealer, and employ what life offers. The tools of life are vast and evolving. What greater challenge and opportunity for an explorer than a life reality ever-changing, evolving, creating, and responding? Challenges are not obstacles to avoid or ignore. They are part of the evolution of life. The solutions bring confidence in the magic and continuation of Life itself. Namaste.

Understanding and mastering the veil

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening

awakening, evolution, incarnation, larger life, the veil

JANU: The veil experience is two-fold. As a protocol for incarnation the True Nature agrees to, for purposes of a fulfillment of the human journey to wisdom through experience. Focusing the consciousness by way of identifying as a human born of the third dimension, even though much more is part of this reality than many are aware of. The veil is not the enemy of human consciousness. It is the guarantor of focused involvement. There is wisdom in this, even though a temporary reality. But while identified as ‘human being’ this does not occur generally. Being conscious of the reality of incarnation, which the veil provides, is not being conscious as. The veil is a state of consciousness.

Desire is a motivator for change and the mastership it provides. It begs the question: why does the True Nature agree to this experience? Because the larger understanding and the wisdom accumulated on that level pursues evolution for consciousness in all realities. And the human experience is rich in these. Now, there comes a time when, on the human journey, questions arise without apparent answers. So the human consciousness desires more and the True Nature hears the call. The fulfillment of the desire is a catalyst for resolution. The union of consciousness is a journey of wisdom as well, of ownership and mastery of the larger life of each one.

The veil is an arrangement, a contract, an agreement in the nature of consciousness. Understanding more deeply the human dimension eventually requires awakening to its nature as well. This path of discovery is subject to the timing, the readiness, the desires, the discoveries of each one. No two the same. Made more apparent by the nature of the questions being asked and the insights being discovered. This journey of awakening grows with each insight, each moment of new understanding that is embraced and incorporated into the perspective of each one.

This path of discovery is not linear or uneventful. But, as it begins, it becomes more difficult to ignore because it is fulfilling, liberating, enriching, and brings more peace to the pursuit of life. The human condition can make it seem illusive, impermanent, and unfulfillable, but that is a limited view. The Larger Life and a larger view are one. One grows into something more. Futility appears differently to the one awakening.

Some would ask, “Awakening to what?” Awakening to the nature of Life itself, and your own truth. Awakening to the harmony of the systems of life, even the dichotomies. Own the veil experience. Understand it. Master it. Take advantage of it. Awakening also means remembering. Choose to remember who and what you are. Namaste.

Footsteps on the Path of Awakening, The Human Condition

awakening, coexistence, collective consciousness, conscious union, the veil

JANU: Self-governing for a society entails a measure of awakening through conscious union. It can begin with a desire to find common ground with others. What do you have in common as a foundation for mutual benefit? Reaching into the vast possibilities, embrace a model that evolves, changes, grows, realizing a greater and greater potential. What relationships and structures can benefit everyone, appropriate to each one’s potential? Discovering the reality of mutual connection, perceiving with a perspective of understanding coexistence of individuality and common good or benefit.

The imposition of laws and regulations imposed by a few does not carry the insight of collective consciousness, integration, and the wisdom each one possesses from within. In a world of many creatures, “nature” if you will, the benefit in productive consciousness effects all nature, for it is all connected. Even the behaviors of creatures of the world will evolve. Humanity will come to realize these many levels of contribution to the rest of nature. The direction this takes is a choice. Humanity unawakened does not realize it is not alone in this. All of life is in motion, attempting to realize its potential and evolve into new possibilities, new achievements which set the foundation for even more.

Self-governing is much more than current politics and legalities. Everyone is involved, learning, growing, understanding, and awakening to a larger life. By any comparison, many are still in slumber. The veil is not fixed or permanent. It is temporary. Self-determination and awakening move beyond any limitation, based in a growing wisdom as to the nature of Life. Each one has a legacy of insightful wisdom, of experience, memories. This of course takes initiative, assumption of responsibility, standing in your truth, and exploring it. This is government by the people who have common ground in their True Natures. Namaste.

conscious union, evolving consciousness, larger life, the veil

JANU: We are one. Proceeding on this basis, let us begin to normalize, become accustomed to, and identified with conscious union. This key understanding brings about changes in perception, identity, and equilibrium throughout the systems of life.

The Larger Life is full of peace, diversity, change, life in motion, renewal, creativity, initiation, momentum, timelessness, coexistence, optimism, confidence, and the joy of discovery and realization. The veil experience hides the larger reality of Life. It is not permanent. One wakens beyond the need for it. Its function is to bring focus to the reality of life incarnate. It is not permanent. For the sojourn, you see. For all of life, all realities coexist. An evolving consciousness replaces it. One coexists with everything needed to evolve, serving life through being it. Namaste.

World with rapid transition & rebirth

Other worlds

conscious union, incarnation, larger life, life patterns, memories, the veil

JANU: Ownership of life contributes to exploring other worlds in the sense that we are one with the record of life. Life remembers everything and the opportunities to explore are born of the records and experiences of that to be explored. This includes our own path as well, you see, for there are no secrets in the Larger Life.

The world of interest this morning exists between two others in the same system. Between in the sense of distance from their sun. This planet revolves around its sun twice a day, in your days. It is quite small and rotates every thirty-six hours, has one moon which is part of its collective mass determining orbit and orbital speed.

This world decays more rapidly than the Earth, for its contribution to life exists in the form of transitional experiences. Yes, we mean the transition from physical to non-physical existence. It is time for mastering conscious incarnation and transition to the point where it is considered routine, therefore accessing and contributing to life in a more dynamic way. Though the realms—as you might put them it seems—include incarnate life, but the role incarnate experience plays in their overall life pattern contributes more directly through the conscious transitional experience to reach other realms. A whole new dynamic and relationship in life with the incarnate reality, more integrated with the other realities, you see.

Think in terms of this as an evolution in continuous consciousness. No longer the veil, you see. Less repetition of life journeys, gaining wisdom more continuously, exploring larger opportunities without interruption, identifying with neither reality. Their consciousness and the memories of their being seems a larger life on its own. Part of the beauty of life. Namaste.

Exploring the Richness of Life

identity, Individuality, larger life, oneness, reality, the True Nature, the veil

JANU: The sense of individuality seems to give purpose to existence. The sense of individuality is part of the incarnate experience due to the veil. The reason for this is focus and the evolution of life itself. The individual, so to speak, is motivated as the driving force for evolving. The True Nature and the monad are the evolving life principle throughout the creations occurring in the realms. The sense of individuality is a healthy vehicle to experience evolution.

The isolation of the veil allows for the assignment of failure and frustration as to the nature and actuality of these outcomes. But this is a limited perception. Allowing reality to unfold in a peaceful but committed manner allows for continuation.
