JANU: We are looking forward again to surmounting the challenge of awakening. But what a challenge it is, our brother, worthy of the effort to regain the freedom it brings. This journey employs more of the faculties of understanding and the power that brings. Being at peace helps restore the connection some might call ‘memory,’ but we call ‘presence of mind’ and ‘being.’

The frustrations humanity has set upon itself through their perceptions of time/space are not conducive to being at peace. The world of “it’s OK or it’s not OK” divides perception away from oneness. The reason so-called terrorism in Orlando, Florida, two days ago is viewed only as OK & not OK, a dichotomy, where in true peace the factors involved are understood that contribute to such events and the results of them. The rigid rules of right and wrong, with few gray areas of understanding, in the presence of awakening are no longer disturbing but understood, part of the life humanity has chosen for itself unawakened.

Very few involved see this event for what it truly is. The differences between people and their philosophies, social identities, hopes, angers, frustrations, passions, all play out and, in a sense, bounce off of each other. Everyone is part of life. Once again, awakening reveals so much and allows for resolution of so-called differences into the flow of life and the evolution of consciousness.

Awakening softens the intensity of different points of view, different understandings and preferences. The more you understand life, the less you rail against it. This is a measure of our suggestion to ‘be at peace.’ In peace, you understand more of all of life, all the elements, so-called differences, and how they combine into the flow of life, a life that is ever changing, evolving, restructuring, exploring, and creating.

Life is continually re-inventing itself, learning, growing, and evolving. Everyone, our brother, is part of this, in their own way, and even those ways are changing. Find peace in awakening and understand more of the life that you are and are part of and each other. Namaste, our brother.

Comments Off on Another look at True Peace

Peace

choices, harmony, service to life, true peace, wisdom

JANU: How does one experience True Peace within, within the consciousness, within the being, as a foundation for engaging their lives? Meaning all that occurs each day. It is not achieved primarily by analysis, but more by choosing and allowing the peace that already exists deep within your being.

When you are at peace, all that you observe in life, including yourself, is seen for what it is, without judgement, condemnation. For those reactions to what you observe do not occur when you are at peace. Peace is not a separation from, a distancing from the movements of life around you, but a stable state within you of perception, without being ‘for’ or ‘against’ it. Pure love and peace go hand in hand.

Life itself, our brother, does not agree or disagree with social or individual behavior. This does not change your freedom to choose one path over another, to choose your relationships and the life you wish to live. But a peaceful relationship with your choices and your relationships allows you to be clear enough, perceptive enough, understanding enough, and patient enough to make wiser choices in harmony with harmonious timing.

Helping another wisely includes all of these, and more. Being of service, whether to others or circumstances or any part of life, is not defined by outcomes. Allow life to unfold as it will. Intimacy with life deepens when not ruled by reactive responses. Intimacy with yourself allows the truth of your being to come to the surface as experiences to understand, accepted for what they are: part of your journey. And grateful for them, for what you have learned. Wisdom is yielded from all of this; knowledge applied to experience.

More to understand, our brother, at another time. Namaste.

The nature of True Peace

Comments Off on The nature of True Peace

Peace

consciousness expansion, inspiration, true peace

JANU: We are bringing peace, the peace that liberates the consciousness, brings clarity to challenges and opportunities, the peace that supports the reunification in consciousness of the being. This peace acts as a vehicle of transport through the journeys of life. The faculties are liberated from constrictions. The constrictions of disbelief; limited perception; self-denial; the opinions of others; the negative programming from society, physicians, religions, the media; the outer and inner programming from incarnate life; even the limited perception of longevity.

The peace that supports a larger view of life and your own being. The peace that supports standing in your truth and your integrity. The peace that allows you to know the truth and the shadows that conceal it. The peace that supports an inquiring mind that can absorb more of life. A peace that, by example, inspires others to allow it. The peace that can embrace a harmonious blend of order, clarity, creativity, and change in your life. Peace that allows seeing the Truth for what it is and what it is not.

A free and happy being, filled with gratitude and love for life. Namaste.

Recycling and recreating of the human journey

Miscellaneous Journeys

awakening, freedom, integrity, the True Nature, true peace

continuing with the thought of the past two days:

JANU: There is growing within the human psyche, the human consciousness, a pattern that could be called a peace movement formulated by, conditioned by, the desire of so many for freedom from a lack of integrity and the games people play for position and power at the expense of others. The ambitions that drive so much of society take their toll on those that support it with the perception that survival is a function of this form of insanity. What we describe are changes in human consciousness that seem too gradual to be noticed but, when attuned to, can be seen as a groundswell.

The difficulty for those who grab their power at the expense of others is that the fear behind these struggles is growing, making it ever more difficult to see the Light. Unfortunately, many who are caught up in these circumstances, the followers if you will, will feel the burden of these changes, which will bring freedom preceded by confusion and fear for survival.

So these are turbulent times for humanity. Letting go of the old rung on the ladder of life to embrace the next takes a faith and courage to be found within. These are the times when True Nature takes more conscious place in the consciousness of humanity. As nature recycles itself to create anew, so is the human experience, dramatically for some, being recycled, recreated. Look forward to these changes. Attune to them. Understand them. Move with them and profit from them. Namaste.

The inner truth can become the outer truth

Miscellaneous Journeys

awakening, freedom, integrity, the True Nature, true peace

JANU: We are considering carefully an approximation of that needed for a balanced understanding of the powerplays outpicturing throughout humanity. The True Peace that comes from true inner power is an illusion to those who struggle for power by controlling others to feed their need for it, which is never satisfied. So they exercise violent control, or their illusion of it, to take what they perceive as power from others. And others, not understanding or owning their inner power, live in fear of this and give their power to despots. And the cycle feeds on itself.

Once again, the need for awakening, individually and collectively. Individuals acquiescing to these violent forces do not stand in their integrity, for they do not see they have the power to do so. Fear for survival tends to rule the heart and mind. These despots have no power of their own, save what the people give them, but they are held hostage by fear of the very ones they give power to. Where does the cycle end, our brother? What changes it? Despots come in all sizes, from the boss at the workplace to the so-called leaders of nations. And even in religion but in different forms as even they teach fear of God. Fear is their tool to gain power and survive. All of this is created by people with varying agendas.

Peace comes, our brother, by being at one with your True Nature, what some call the ‘still, small voice.’ Why is it still and why is it small? Because it challenges the strongly held beliefs in the need for external power, control of others, loss of integrity, cleverness, manipulation, and lip service to so-called models of a ‘righteous’ life. Where is the truth, our brother?

It appears as though humanity survives in spite of itself. All of this can change into true freedom of spirit, ownership of life, and creativity that benefits everyone. It is not a pipe dream to be free, but one must let go that which interferes and choose that which promotes. Awaken to the truth within you that has always been there and never left you. That’s where freedom and power lie. Namaste.

Discovering beauty

Comments Off on Discovering beauty

Miscellaneous Journeys

inspiration, true peace

JANU: We are enjoying with you this moment of reverie induced by the music that runs through your mind and your being. Encouraging moments of beauty in your life is not only therapeutic but raises the consciousness, harmonizes the systems, and is revelatory. Beauty is appreciated in different forms and it matters not which. Filling your life with beauty and what it brings does not mean to turn your back on serving life that it find beauty as well, meaning others. What a worthy starting point in relating to another and exploring what they find beautiful.

Beauty fosters the True Peace we speak of, with its amazing benefits. Beauty opens the paths of communication into ideals and values and your integrity. Much of life’s beauty goes unnoticed, unappreciated, unengaged. Encourage this reverie in others and the beauty that inspires one brings out the beauty in the one appreciating it. Complete being is a thing of beauty, including the incarnate experience. Allow yourself to see the beauty in others and in yourself.

Yes, there is what you would say as violence in nature, destructive, which is nature recycling itself into new life, new expressions. But there is beauty in this as well, our brother. Life in motion, process, interactions, creation, the closing and opening of cycles.

Music, our brother, is not limited to the incarnate life. Great symphonies are performed in the consciousness of many and, when so attuned, shared. Do you think composers of beautiful music while incarnate do not continue composing? Only less limited. Allow yourself the experience of a symphony in spirit. Grand compositions. Where do you think inspiration comes from for those who compose great symphonies while incarnate? The so-called ‘Music of the Spheres’ is a natural reality.

The beauty of a sunset, immaculate in detail, composition, color, and movement. Can one avoid being filled with gratitude to experience such? Think you not this gratitude, deeply felt, is not therapeutic and balancing and loving? Discover beauty in life, our brother, heretofore unnoticed, and be at peace. Namaste.

Awakening into Larger Life, Peace

transformation, true peace

JANU: We are assembling at this time a quivering, so to speak, of essential vibrations that help to coordinate the peace movements in your world. This quivering sets up a tone that is responded to by the patterns of True Peace that emanate from the consciousnesses of humanity. It strengthens the synchronicity of emotions and insights into human nature and helps prolong the presence of True Peace that will build a new life for those incarnating into a changing society.

So, you see, our brother, True Peace is not just stillness but a dynamic reality that encourages exploration into its nature. It is a transformative experience to employ the power of this in the consciousness. Many are hungry for this without understanding what they are hungry for. That will come in time. But for now it is sufficient that they are open to the possibility.

The joy in living in this way can seem overwhelming, but once experienced, even to a small degree, there is no turning back. Anything that gives you true joy, as when helping another, is a product of this. Remember, what your attention is on, you are connected to. Choose wisely and be at peace. Namaste.

Comfort, the seductress

Comments Off on Comfort, the seductress

Awakening into Larger Life

flow of life, true peace

JANU: Amiable though it is, we would research, if you will, the conditions of prolonged exposure to the comforts of life. Comfort is a seductress, when obsessed about. Excessive comfort brings a laziness to life. We speak not just of physical comfort here, our brother, but mental and emotional comfort.

The desire to learn and know and evolve and awaken to greater faculties and the Larger Life is not realized through comfort and sameness and routine and habits. It is realized through change, letting go and embracing, risk-taking to a degree, exploring wonderment, and exploring the magic of life yet to be understood.

Original thought and original experience are unconditioned by society. Explore what you have been accustomed to in a new way. When society says that humanity is not meant to understand this, choose to understand it, if it speaks to you and you are drawn to it. Now, comfort in this setting of understanding is not being at peace, the peace that we refer to, True Peace, for True Peace is free to explore all of life, taking on change and new experiences and understandings. Comfort does not acknowledge the flow of life, the constant change. It holds on to sameness. True Peace is dynamic. Comfort more static, you see.

So, you see, our brother, life beyond the veil is active indeed, on the move, exploring and expanding and evolving. The integration of the True Nature while incarnate adds this quality to life. Consider this carefully as you engage new adventures and the dynamics and reality of the inner support will be yours. Namaste.

The price of social conformity

Comments Off on The price of social conformity

Awakening into Larger Life

freedom, integrity, societal norms, true peace

JANU: Sublimation of the desire for freedom in the face of social pressures is a weakness in the human experience. Self-examination of the price of acclimation and obedience is called for here. It calls into question the whole concept of collective reality, group dynamics, and the so-called ‘common good’ defined by those taking advantage of what they have created in society. It is time for many to discover, experience, and take command of their true inner power, identity, and heritage of their own making.

This does not mean anarchy and dissolution of all social structures, but it puts them on a different footing, you see, a footing of mutual freedom and support, integrity, and True Peace. Instead of organizing societies to be at war with each other, organize societies to create a better life for everyone, combining their strengths to overcome frailties, misperceptions, doubts and fears, and ill health. Whenever thievery and mayhem appear in a society, these are the markers of abuse and lack of focus.

Let us always challenge ourselves to change directions, to sort out our perceptions and choices, and be willing to embrace a change in these areas. Namaste.

Challenges are opportunities to be free

Comments Off on Challenges are opportunities to be free

Awakening into Larger Life

connection with life, harmony, mastery, true peace

JANU: For this morning’s journey, let us explore and comment on the scope of the human journey. It has been beset with many obstacles that are seen as challenges to gain strength and clarity in the understanding of its own nature, realizing potential through overcoming adversity. The magic, so to speak, here is the overcoming. Difficult to convey the reality that the adversity and the overcoming are, in the larger reality, one reality. Two sides of the same coin, as we have said. Instead of seeing challenges as a drain upon your time and energy, see them as a reminder to call upon more that you have within you.

It is in Life’s interest for you to succeed, but what does ‘succeed’ mean? It means mastering not only what is in the challenge, but your own perceived limitations. And being one with Life, your victories in this area are resource for others, for there is no part of your life, and your experience, and your being that is not known by Life itself. You are never a ‘victim’ unless you allow it, and even then new opportunities and challenges come to you. The true power for this comes through True Peace, for when in that state of consciousness, you are in harmony across the spectrum of your existence. Which also means you are in harmony with the Life that you are part of. Claim your true power. Realize that challenges are opportunities to be free. Namaste.
