What is awakening?

JANU: Elements of this morning’s journey will be considered as temporary perspectives on the facets of the jewel that is humanity. The journey of awakening is not a simple one, but there is a fundamental truth to it, that being: it is a journey of profound changes and revealed so-called ‘mysteries’ and the realization of unforeseen potentials. Temporary in the sense of ever changing and evolving.

From the incarnate perspective, the question always arises: When? How fast, and what can be done to accelerate this? The answer to the ‘when?’ is when you are ready. The matter of accelerating awakening must consider the aspects of awakening that are not physical, beyond time/space. The maturity to deal successfully with what awakening affords is a process. Self-mastery arises in these considerations to include patience, sensitivity to conditions of the moment, insightful awareness of the trends in your life, and a growing realization and sense of the nature of your relationships with everything, a growing sense of the flow of life and your relationship with it. Is any part of your life swimming against this dream, or are you flowing with it? Can you see these changes in others, and understand them?

Awakening is not measured in time or speed. How can it be, when it is an eternal, growing reality? So you see, the goal here is not the awakening but the realization of it, what your consciousness and being evolve into in so many ways. Where do you begin to measure that? What terms?

Being at True Peace and growing into this more and more is part of a journey that embraces an unlimited journey. Awakening is not a thing, but a growing embrace of life with profound changes. Namaste.

Celebrating the miracle of insight

JANU: We are celebrating those magical moments of insight, life-changing revelations that occur around the world with many of humanity, and explore what triggers an insight or revelation.

Primarily, it is the desire to know and experience, whether for yourself or for another; an honest, simple desire for guidance, understanding, and service; a moment of open-mindedness and faith in the power to receive, to understand, from something larger than your current perception of reality. One does not need to understand the mechanics, so to speak, the structure of communication, but willing to receive it and apply it. We are not speaking of curiosity and entertainment here, but a conviction that it is needed. A perception of the presence of a reality that knows, some would call a ‘divine connection.’

Sincerity and light-heartedness go hand in hand. Sincerity focuses the commitment to know, to serve. Light-heartedness opens the mind and heart to receive, joyous to once more experience a sense of the magic of life. Always there. Always benevolent. Always loving.

There is an answer and a solution, our brother, for any question, any need. Be open to the answer, the understanding, as it is. And then apply it, honestly. Have faith in its result, whether seen or not, and find True Peace. Namaste.

Self-mastery

JANU: We are hammering away again, if you will, at this concept of self-mastery. And “What is meant by this?” you ask. It is to be in conscious control, at one with, all of your faculties, motivations, purposes, relationships, and well-being. And what is in control is not the ‘personality-ego’ or mundane interests but the whole you that is your true Nature.

A central theme of awakening is not only “what are you awakening to?” but “what is awakening–what is the being?” A profound question, answered as you mature and contribute to life. We do not mean the power to manipulate at the expense of life around you, but to serve life in its countless destinies. And, in so doing, come to realize and understand in the most profound ways you are that life. Moving from individual consciousness only to universal consciousness, some call ‘Cosmic Consciousness.’

Structured life, form, boundaries, limitations are created by life that is not limited. Both are necessary. Both co-exist. And both serve each other. This beginning of understanding of the function of life.   We of the Brotherhood of Light are still growing in this direction, understanding there is much more beyond this principle. The principle being a doorway or window.

We speak of service, but what is doing the service, our brother? What is its authority, its True Power, its nature? The wisdom that comes from loving life selflessly, simply, enduringly, with the patience of eternity, with the strength of True Peace. Self-mastery, our brother, is a grand journey indeed. Let us begin. Namaste.

What is justice?

JANU: We are opening this morning to a climate of retribution, for this limited gain by attack and revenge, neither of which is justice, still plagues many humans.

What is justice, then, that so many seek through violence? The only justice in life is True Peace, for it ends the cycle of violence and reprisal. And those cycles perpetuate the energy and consciousness of anger and revenge, for the one who is angered and attacks retains those patterns, even when so-called vanquishing takes place, only to look for opportunity to attack once more. How is that justice? Only True Peace, and the love it is a medium for, is true justice for it gives the attacker nothing to push against, find fault with, and justify their anger. Justice is the freedom from violence harbored in the feelings and minds of people, and only this ends the cycle of violence.

Is the risk to life and limb worth this reality we speak of?   It is, our brother, for the physical body is not what you are and is not what lives on to experience more of life and to contribute more to life. How can one be truly in love with life when living in anger and intolerance? Justice is balance in life, and balance does not mean retribution, which perpetuates imbalance. One can disengage from imbalance at any time. What some might call the price of this is worth it, for True Peace is true freedom to enjoy an unlimited life.

There is more than physicality to violence. It includes hurtful feelings, attitudes, psychic attack, labeling another person as this or that. Yes, even your common speech can be a form of violence, imbalance, and injustice. The balance we speak of comes from within, from your True Nature, and the True Nature of life itself. Allow peace in your life, in every form and find freedom. Namaste.

Confidence to create a better life

JANU: At the present moment, may we journey together, supporting peace in a troubled world. Instead of addressing directly personalities and egos of humanity, we choose instead to foster a supporting relationship with the True Natures of each and their conscience. Through this procedure, inspiring revelations of the benefits of True Peace and what humanity can become together in this way. In large measure, humanity’s condition of True Peace affects the nature of and timing of off-world contact and interaction. Those others who visit the Earth are very sensitive to humanity’s condition in this area. It limits greatly their openness, interaction, and support.

Humanity finding peace with each other is becoming crucial in the evolution of humanity. But True Peace is yet to be understood widely, certainly not as a powerful way of living and way of loving. So, the task is at hand to convey this understanding in many forms, many ways. Not as a teaching but as an inspiration. As True Peace becomes expressed in the lives of people, the results of which will be observed as proof of the merit of such a change in the ways of living, human suffering and homelessness, destitution, families in starvation and ill health will no longer be ignored as much as it is. Lifting each other becomes a way of life and not just waiting for the grief of others to find your doorstep, but being sensitive to the needs of others.

One form of this uplifting is inspiring the homeless that they have the ability to change their lives through a change in attitude of self-confidence and, yes, thoughtful introspection, encouraging people that they can do more, helping them find a path to accomplish this. The possibilities are many and reveal themselves to those who want to know. When someone is helped in this way and re-masters their life, what better witness to others who need inspiration?
