JANU: We are embracing this quality of exploration in understanding the nature of every reality of life. A well-spoken title or focus called “The beauty of the moment” speaks to the nature of all of life, for coexisting with this essential reality is all of life, all of life’s expressions. Letting go of individual identity, any specific identity, one allows a moment of essential truth, without distraction, preference, interpretation. Pure being beyond any identity allows the experience of universal consciousness. Time and space no longer a limitation, but an element of Life among so many. Allow the return to the beauty of the moment. Namaste.

Enrichment
JANU: Numerous events in time and space beckon the call of the survivors of life. Mutual enrichment is the theme. Be enriched by enriching life, not just entities as yourself but beings of consciousness no matter the degree or nature. The purpose of enrichment, as you ask, is the continuation of existence on all levels of reality, the potential for life, which is beyond understanding at this time for most.
Now, enrichment covers a lot of diversity, meaning, and purpose. Allow your consciousness, your senses, your perceptions to touch and experience and understand, little by little, reality beyond reality—the vastness, the nature, the content, including time/space and beyond. Allow sensitivity to flower, your own Nature included. It’s there. It has its own existence. And all existence, whether physical or not, coexists.
Become conscious as universal life to a growing degree, becoming one with the nature of reality. Perspective and purpose, meaning, understanding, contribution, benefit is all one. Being conscious as a physical being is only part of it. Being conscious as more and more of Life, and its True Nature, is another. The limits of physical life are not the limits of your True Nature.
What is timelessness? Sense its reality as you once journeyed through a singularity. Explore coexistence as life in motion. That is part of your Nature. Be One—an expanding, exploring Being. Namaste.

Conscious union and the Larger Life
JANU: Exploring conscious union is not so much the fact of but the results of the door it opens to possibilities of universal consciousness , of the peace that guides and is guided by the Truth of Life. Let us focus upon not so much the path to conscious union but the path from conscious union, which is not so much vocalizing, publishing, lecturing, but contribution by way of fundamental principles of evolution and enrichment, that which liberates the seeker of the Light and their own union.
Understanding and evolution provide enrichment. “And what is that?” you ask. Enrichment is the fuller at-one-ment with the potential of Life and its creation. Complication diminishes, for the Truth is natural and ever present. Awakening experience is like becoming more alive. With each achievement, perspective is enhanced. Consciousness is more complete. Life in motion is full of fulfillment and love is lived more fully.
Observing the path of others is a good teacher of perspective and diversity on the path of evolving. So this is our focus and so be it.

The origins of mind
JANU: Exploring the options of discovery in the area of the origins of mind, we would pursue and prevail upon the many initiations of consciousness. The reality of being individual life has the reality preceding it. The term cloud of reality initiating consciousness comes to mind. This cloud transforms and is transformed into a coalescence of the reality of being as an individualized element of many for the purpose of exploration and experience of potential. So, you see, even potential was a creation. So mind became a natural manifestation of inquiry into the nature of potential, its manifestation, and its contextual experiences.
The reality of all of this is available for understanding and revisiting, for it is part of the ultimate nature of being. The sense of “you” in your inquiries is an evolving consciousness, born from the universal consciousness as it began to observe the nuances of potential, which are still evolving and will continue to do so as life explores Life.
These dynamics come to the fore the more potential is realized, for the discovery of what will be has a counterpart into the discovery of what has been. Both directions of discovery form the looping reality of life; past through present into future enriches everything and the circle grows. The incidentals of living and evolving reveal in the perception of the depth and breadth of being. Ultimately exposing the consciousness to the reality of being one with life, being one as life. Namaste.

The freedom of universal consciousness
JANU: The formation of other worlds is of interest to those who attempt to grasp the workings of manifest life. The universe is part of this, but the history of understanding and that to be understood complies with the evolution of consciousness, the evolution of being, the evolution of creating. The study of these worlds brings this to the fore. For as one engages in consciousness the realities of a world, these understandings become attractive to the curious, the open-minded, and those who embrace and love life.
The formation of planets and suns and systems is becoming understood more and more, but what about the creation of species, cultures, sciences, arts, survival, and the evolution of species? The bigger picture, as it is embraced, brings a growing sense of connection to everything. ‘Here’ and ‘there’ become faint perceptions, for as consciousnesses embrace life, the consciousness is everywhere at once. All fear disappears. The eternity of being is added to this larger identity. This takes nothing from individuality experience and personal identity, for these are part of the journey of life and its enrichment.
Linger, from time to time, in this freedom of being and find peace, harmony, and well-being. Namaste.

Identity and universal consciousness
JANU: The subject is the range of knowing and not knowing. Not knowing with doubt, confusion, frustration, unfulfilled desire. Knowing with fulfillment, imagination, creation, possibilities, understanding, desire to explore and grow, to fulfill existence. Both exist in a single point called transition. Choosing transition is to move from one to the other. Consciousness makes the transition. First conscious of and then, through connection and engagement, conscious as. Knowing of moves to knowing as. One is observation. The other is intimacy.
Intellectuality is knowing of. Intimate embrace is knowing as. The challenge is identity shifting. Most identify with the transition into knowing of. It is with a perception of separation, something outside yourself, a thing, a fact of existence. The other a transition into universal consciousness, embracing more and more of life, becoming one with.
How does one transition from identity to universal consciousness? The question is “Can they coexist?” The answer is “They can.” For universal consciousness embraces everything, but not owned by any one of them. So in a sense, identifying with everything through coexistence. Otherwise, it’s an identity of ‘this and not that,’ instead of ‘this and that.’ Choose wisely what you hang onto in the direction of separation. Evidence of this is the reality that we are one. Namaste.

Resilience
JANU: Resilience when it comes to this pandemic is born of the desire to continue, to engage life and grow or evolve. Short-term and long-term resilience allows for solution finding, and the patience to demonstrate it. This pandemic experience for humanity has tested this, and still does. Encouraging each other to be resilient is a uniting influence.
For some, it is an opportunity to take advantage, being their form of resilience. Mutual resilience, to the benefit of all, is restorative. But when at the expense of others is ultimately self-destructive. Individual consciousness cannot see this. Awakened universal consciousness sees this naturally. Choose wisely the focus of consciousness in your relationships, in your behavior. Namaste.

Universal consciousness
JANU: Universal consciousness is the purview of the Family of Life, all that is known. No announcements needed. Attune to what already exists. Nothing to create. The human consciousness struggles to achieve what has always been. Allow memory. Memories of experience, of relationships, of understanding, many worlds, many realities, many sojourns. Whatever your attention is on, you are connected to, in both directions, you see. Yes, there is kindness everywhere. Namaste.

The larger view tempers the smaller
JANU: Life is larger than most realize. It behooves one, when ready, to incorporate a larger appreciation and conscious union with more of life. There are many confusing areas of incarnate living, many mysteries of existence, causes and effects, circumstances, opportunities, and seeming closed doors, so-called stumbling stones on the path. There are answers, so to speak, to every question, every concern, but not all of these answers exist in the limitations of incarnate perception. And these questions arise because life is larger and coexists with incarnate life. Your own Nature is multi-dimensional. The incarnate consciousness is unaware of these larger realities, so the understandings seem unattainable.
A valid question is why the confusion exists at all, if there are not secrets in the larger life? It is because of the agreement made with the True Nature to the structures of life to incarnate, called the veil. The veil’s purpose is to focus the consciousness on the incarnate life, for a time, to focus on individuality, which leads to a limited identity and persona. Instead of a consciousness coexisting with everything, one seems isolated, singular, and to a degree distant. Even when observed by the five senses, the distance sense is there, isolation, privacy, secrecy, and survival that is challenged.
There comes a time when this is no longer satisfying. The True Nature knows this and seeks to explore incarnate consciousness, at one with the larger life, for this venue is full of unlimited possibilities for exploration, experience, and wisdom. More universal consciousness leads to a more universal contribution to the enrichment of life and each other.
Time frames are based on a single lifetime of incarnate life. Your Larger Life perspective is far more patient and less limited. Engaging life with a larger perspective frees one from impatience. The larger view always tempers the smaller view, and the normal flow of life is understood. Namaste, our brother.

A universal calling
JANU: Peak interest in the expression of information amounting to established principles in the direction of maximizing potential results in a growing mass effort to realize that potential. What we show here is the determination of Life itself to evolve. We are part of this, which includes your life journey as well.
So the issue or focus here is not just the awakening of others and the self, but the larger effort or imperative, compelling of the True Nature of Life. It has always been there but, as awakening ensues, the ground becomes more fertile for expression. We of the Brotherhood of Light do not lay this responsibility on you alone. It is distributed throughout life, engaged by those who welcome it for it lives within them and walks through their lives with them.
This is not your imperative alone. It exists in others. Help each other discover the truth of their own life, their own Nature. Encourage them to do so. Encouragement in time takes the form of one other expressing the calling from within and sharing what they have learned about it. Namaste.
