Episode 49 Blog There is No Responsibility in BEing Present

One of the strong integral parts of Self is what we perceive as the doer. In our interacting in BEing physical we manipulate, make action, with our environments and its elements. We are Creator.

When we are doing for ourselves and others obligation and responsibility can come into play. Sometimes we are the oldest child helping our parents’ parent our younger siblings or even our parents. We take on others which can come from caring, or as servitude. It can happen to the point of burden. We become responsible for outcomes that all too often are way beyond our scope of power at the time and results can foster helplessness, guilt and punishment can ensue.

We develop roles and realities that others need to be protected and cared for and are too weak, or sensitive or senseless or stupid to manage their own lives without our interference. They make poor choices they need to be saved from. We form our ideas about others that may have nothing to do with them but both others’ opinions and our own biases and projections.

When we switch to BEing, we free ourselves of our created stories/illusions and their conditions and patterns. We are in the position to notice our patterns of the doer and develop awareness, become mindful of cause and action. We can play with our connection to others as our stories/illusions of Self, adapt, grow, evolve.

It is about unplugging, as my friend and guest this week Rev. Janice Hope Gorman likes to say. It is choosing to disassociate from all the stories around us and mostly in each of us to give pause to allow our inner Self dynamics to relax. We connect with our Core Essence, the Infinite. We can then appreciate, recalibrate and then orchestrate what we are actively creating in any one moment. It is checking in to our self generated projection of reality, our story/illusion of identity. We become self- caring and allow for change where wanted, where desired.  

The stress we are all feeling seems unrelenting right now. There is so much overload or stimuli and information and intensity. People are running emotionally hot, not cool. How to relieve it is by choosing to release it in useful ways. By committing the simple shift through intention to enter into the field of heart centered awareness, of Unified Consciousness, into BEing present, into Oneness. 

We let go of the burden and responsibility of our story/illusion. And each time we do so our burden becomes less. Our story/illusion dictates soften. Our reality starts to reflect new awareness, new expressions, new appreciations. The old truly becomes the past. Our wants, our desires, change shape. What was important is no longer.

In BEing present we do, take action, through BEing. There is no responsibility in BEing, only moving through inspiration. Motivation is outside influences. We use them to inspire us to action. You don’t have to do something in order to BE.

In the quantum field of Consciousness responsibility is just a position, one of infinite positions one can assume. It is not who you are. It is only a position, a place holder in the field that you employ into form. Use it wisely. This is the payoff of BEing present.

Appreciation Transcends The State of Resistant Thought You Are In

 That’s why so many of us teach meditation. Because when you stop thought, you stop resistant thought. When you stop resistant thought, then you let it in. That’s why we teach appreciation, because when you’re in appreciation, you are not in the mode of resistance, and you are letting it in.

Excerpted from North Los Angeles, CA on 8/13/01

Our Love
Esther (Abraham and Jerry)

Did you realize that the boundaries in your story/illusion are creating resistant thought? When I read this quote above I realized that I had not thought of it in quite those terms.  

That is exactly what happens. How many times has someone suggested to you an idea, or version of your reality of yourself or some challenge you were dealing with that you automatically rejected? That is resistant thought in action. How much have we missed out in life because we were in a reality state of resistant thought, not open to new awareness?

It is what we do, every human individual on this planet. Our minds are constantly reinforcing its projected belief system and it can do it to a punishing degree, whatever the issue is. That is the power of biases and perceptions that make up our story/illusion mindsets. You have a thought, information and experience comes in and you make discernments. At some tipping point it shifts to a judgment and becomes part of your behavior and a story/illusion element. It become closed to new thoughts and interpretations and Mind goes on to the next thing. It has become you. 

Depending on our nature, we can build a lot of energy as part of the bias and become belligerent and righteous in our viewpoints. Ours is the only story/illusion and it is better than yours. 

Our willingness to accept a new premise or another's awareness of our projection comes from a reality state of Openness. One that is fluid based instead of block based. You know, all those times you felt blocked and there you were. You did not know how to deal with your block and it was all consuming and huge. You could not move it. This is a "powerless to make some thing different" reality state you find yourself to be in. 

What to do? 

Recognize what you are feeling and thinking in your self talk. And realizing that is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. That this is only where you are in the moment of awareness. Now access your inner wisdom, core essence where out of the quiet of no thought, more information will be available. BE present and ask "What is the value in becoming aware of your setup of thought?" How is this moment useful? What is gained by feeling and then being stymied by your concern? What does it feel like for this to be different? New thoughts as awareness are present. 

Once you are open to new information, your willingness to accept it comes into play. And that too maybe  takes you to awareness of the pattern. Could be of more resistance, or of voices or experiences in the past that are engaged unknowingly, pushing agendas that have coalized into form. It can reveal your pattern of behavior in new ways and at the same time release and unfold into new patterns.  

Any engagement of potential into energy has its form, pattern, vibrational signature in your story/illusion. Notice i am not using words like weak for softer. Softer is a texture. Stronger/weaker is degrees of resistance. . 

This is where we are right now collectively. This is what is possible. Remove the resistance to what has happened. It has happened. That is the past. Recalibrate to a reality state of Appreciation. What shifts when you lose your anger of defiance and resistance to your perceived, projected story of illusion?

JIE Episode 47 Experiencing Energy

 

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet

 Podcast Releasing Tuesday October 20, 2020 

Episode 47 Blog Experiencing Energy

One of the most delightful experiences of body/form is to experience one’s senses, to feel, hear, see, touch, smell and to “know” things. The fun comes in when you can feel, hear, see, touch, smell, and “know” things that have some sort of an energy signature of awareness and not so much necessarily solid in form, like ghosts or angels or fairies and nature devas.  

Maybe you are like me and have been aware of different energies since an early age. My friends and I can see much with our inner eye, dead people for instance. Or maybe you have a history of feeling energies that were identifiable in some way, but you could not see them. You could feel them either or both physically and emotionally. I have symbols that show up in different ways to my inner eye. You might have a sense of Déjà vu often, or knowing before the phone rings, that sort of thing. It is entertaining in my realm and something one can look forward to. 

All of it at times was thrilling, or maybe alarming depending on who I was at the time and the situation. It was just a thing that was part of me, usually unexpected but I was open to it all. I have had many different experiences over the years, including channeling to running healing energy through my hands. My experiences were most often in a reality of being helpful, user friendly and not about the battle of good/evil that it can be for many. I was not alarmed and judging what I was witnessing as bad. There was no horror or fear, only Grace at times and neutral the rest. But dealing with people’s projections takes stamina and centeredness and neutral terrain within.

Of course, when I was young, I was not always clear or understanding about boundaries and how energy works. I got into metaphysical studies in my early 20’s when I realized it was a part of my life. I wondered how someone could feel” bad” or unsettling in some way to me and I felt “bad”. I have felt attacked and then at times used. And, along the way I was perhaps clumsy with others in their feelings I am sure.

We are all sensory creatures with bandwidths of sensation that extend beyond our human limits into our metaphysical range. BEing energetically sensitive is easier when you learn one’s own nature and develop energy hygiene. When you are wanting to help another, understanding energy and potential dynamics is essential to successful work. There needs to be respect for how you are both organized within. You can realize that energy can take any form and like a blade be two sided, and due to the bias of observation, positive or negative. When in itself it is neither, just a manifestation of projection.

We all experience energy differently and unique to the individual so there are guidelines to consider and frameworks to embody that make life as an energetic being delightful and rewarding. All too often people can feel overwhelmed or done in by the energies around and in them. And most of the time people are not in conscious awareness of the energies around them that are affecting in some way, positive and negative unless it is brought to their attention.  

All information, life, stuff, fits within the core of Consciousness so it can be interacted with. It doesn’t matter if it is in the past, the future, the cosmos, your neighbor. Energetic dynamics abound. It just depends on your internal settings of sensitivity, tolerance, and story line which determine your reality settings and what you consider real and not real, possible, not possible.

Everything is vibrational and informational in nature when it is reduced to its essence. Energy is vibrational and can clean, clear, protect, heal, destroy. It provides us with intuition of the present and organizational in terms of time as past lives and the precognitive of the seer of future events. It connects us with other energetic awareness of forms corporeal and incorporeal such as angels and other life forms. It resonates with all elements of living matter such as crystals and plants and animal life and our space around us as in feng shui and the senses that track surroundings.  Everything living is registering information and is connected.  

Energy is found in the known and unknown, the manifested and unmanifested, our notions of what are real and not real. Energy does not care what you think, it only reacts and responds and forms and develops into patterns of vibrations that we sense and interpret and experience as the habituated thought and behavior. Again, and again, time after time. Unless, some thing happens in our rule set to instigate change, shift, in the moment.

For me, when I work with clients or students it is about appreciating their references and how they are helpful or not to them, not to me. That is what being energetically clear, neutral, to me is about. I have no agenda to push, just clarity for the often-felt confusion that is present which is what our issues most often are, confusion between mind and heart usually.

I am an empath, an energy empath. I feel energy in people, places, things, words, etc. in my body. We all do in some way, to some degree. It defines me. These days I look to benefit from all my trainings, experiences and awareness to “feel things from within my field” and not so much in my body or in attached manner. I realize that long ago I made the choice to embody this time, in this way to explore Life within the body/form and to explore BEing. It has taken me many places.

We all have our answers inside of us and where we have a sense of out there, somewhere, sometimes so buried, so wrapped up in a sense of lost that it is helpful to have another find the link. We share in this, this wonderful sense and experience we call BEing.

It is quite a journey of enlightenment that we are sharing.

A Nudge Good For Any Day of The Week

 Friday’s Nudge:

There are no accidents

If it's appeared on your life’s radar, this is why: to teach you that dreams come true; to reveal that you have the power to fix what's broken and heal what hurts; to catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses; and to lift the veils that have kept you from seeing that you're already the person you dreamed you'd become.

And believe me, that was one heck of a dream.

Tallyho,

The Universe

My friend Mari Hall posted this on her facebook page the other day. She is the founding director of the International Assoc. of Reiki and always has wonderful daily postings. It must have been last Friday. I saw it yesterday. It is a wonderful directional marker in Consciousness. it is a nudge that is good for any day of the week.

Where one is, is here. Sometimes you don't know how you got here but you find yourself here. And, sometimes, you know quite well how you got here. And, you don't always feel good about it.

But here is where you are. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

You are in an individual body you call Self, Me and I within a mindset observing that body called Self, Me and I. How mind is formed shapes how you view your body, here, in this moment.

It is a moment. To be used however you want. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

Are you conflicted? Are you in denial? Are you , are you, are you....? Are you okay? Are you aware of the wonder to be found in being alive, in BEing in formed sensory awareness that registers not only wonder but the lack of, as pain? It can be uphill or downhill from here.

Whatever, however you view this moment to BE it is that and not, as it is only illusion from your mind story. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

No body wants pain or suffering but we do it so well, so easily when we allow it to be in our formed reality. We can learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. It can hold meaning of many different nuances. It is not the final version but only part of the version, the illusion we are running, in and often from.

If you are in judgement of this moment, it is only that, a discernment of the moment. If is is part of a judgement you are holding about life in general and yours in particular it is set in stone, carved deeply. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

All of this is about your Core Essence choosing to interact as you in your body/form. What your Core Essence is choosing this go-around to enjoy about Enlightenment. Maybe this is why we seem to enjoy our misery. Because from the perspective of Consciousness all is to be enjoyed for the sheer sense of feeling as part of the spectrum. Consciousness is. It reflects us and is much more. For it holds both the manifested and unmanifested, the known and Unknown, the real and not real. So, at any one moment both are available to us to engage as and with. We are exploring and utilizing contrast in the spectrum of Life, of BEing in being alive.

All our moments have the meaning we give them. If there is no need to validate our moments in our stories what is possible? Is our moment one of many like a faceted jewel, catching the light as we turn it and different at every perspective, always beautiful no matter the refraction?

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Be Curious Today

Question what you see. Be curious today. 

Take the time today to explore something new, something old or ask a question and let the answer show up. Listen. 

Let go of social media for the day. Use your device to explore and find out more about? 

Be open, to learning something you don't already know. 

Notice what you follow, where your attention takes you. 

Consider the dream you put away long ago. What if this is the perfect time to change the direction of your life?

In all the upheaval you are experiencing, where is the joy you left behind that can now be found again? 

List 5 things you think are true and consider them again. What do you think you know for sure or on reflection, is only an assumption of someone else?  

What is your favorite color and is it in your wardrobe? Your house?

Curiosity is one frequency. It can not coexist with fear, another frequency. Which one is more active for you? What do you need to let go of to experience more curiosity? 

What is it like to feel anticipation instead of judgement? 

Be curious today.

JIE Episode 41/ Metaphor Realities Of A Hat

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 
Podcast Release July 28, 2020 

Episode 41 Blog/ Metaphor Realities Of A Hat 

In this latest episode 41 with Mari Hall, she and I speak in metaphor reality.

I watched a theater production once where the actor performed on a simple set highlighted by the hats and accessories he changed into as the story went along. The hat and the actor wearing it held our attention as the actor morphed a bit differently into each hat. It was a clever way to covey simply the changing dynamics of personality present under the brim of the hat.

Mari and I talk of some of the many hats we wear and roles we play. Our self-identities include many different facets of interactions and relationships. Most of the time we are not in awareness of all of them each of us encompass. But every role we have in our human repertoire, be it child, parent, lover, loner, significant other, friend, enemy, victim, hunter, citizen, teacher, etc, etc, etc. comes with a hat and most are worn all at once and interchangeably.

At times some of them fit really well and some of the time they don’t. We may have been given them and we like them or not. We all have probably had the experience of a parent or someone in authority telling us we had to wear something we did not like or feel comfortable in. But we can hold on to them as empowered objects reminding us for better or worse. We might not recognize or even see through the illusions they cast and can feel burdened under the weight. For any one hat or role may be heavier than another.

Ever buy something on sale that was only okay, but it caught your attention enough that you bought it anyway? Maybe you were only in the mood for something new. And you have never worn it. It still sits in your closet taking up valuable closet space and every time you move it goes with you to the new closet.

Our illusions of what we look like in our hats, in our roles may be off. They may dazzle but be distracting like the outfit that dazzles and that is all you see, not the person. When what we are really looking for is the outfit or hat that highlight, accentuate and bring out the best in the person under it all. That is the secret that the great designers focus on. Bring out the best in their clients.

Sometimes we wear something to hide in, cover up something present, or something missing. Sometimes when we really closely look at the hat, we can see the wear and tear and the now shabby surface, different from the new when we got it, received it, bought it.

Some may only be worn once in a while, when some are worn every day.

At times hats are part of a uniform and when we put it on our head, we feel a part of something bigger.

Some are to create illusions of ourselves to keep safe from others or from things out there. Like a white beekeeper’s head covering and outfit. Keeps one from getting stung.

Some, like crowns, tiaras or mitres show others the entitlements of position one holds.

Some, like baseball caps show our team spirit at times and a way to show our support about something. And to cover up dirty or messy or missing hair.

What ever the hat, whatever the role, we can assume that it never hurts now and then to take a fresh look at how we are showing up in this world and see how current we are holding onto our pasts. And checking in with an open-minded friend and seeing what they might be noticing about you, the angle of your hat and life.

I tip my hat to you.

JIE Episode 40 Let Go. Really, Why?

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 

Podcast releasing Tuesday July 14, 2020

Episode 40 Blog/ Let Go. Really, Why?

Probably the hardest challenge for any of us is embracing any perceived pain as useful.  We tend to hold on to things and feelings and if it doesn’t feel good, we don’t want to feel it. So, we decide to never feel that way again and then we create often elaborate patterns of avoidance and rules. We build huge powerful rule sets that we think will protect us from the hurt again when in reality, the rules trap the energy dynamics into place and keep us chasing our tails. We never are dealing with our part of our own set up, our joint creation in honest ways and there is a failure to appreciate what our lives are about.

 We miss valuing our lessons about relating to our Selves and others and our own creations. 

 We get stuck in continuous looping holding patterns of pain. It can be challenging to be grateful for one’s pain. John J. Murphy my guest this week mentions that Egos don’t understand appreciation. We are in our wounds and can stay there. Unless something happens to bring awareness. It takes honesty and intention to look at what we are creating and making our reality. It takes us getting out of our blindness in perspective and role playing. This is an act of love towards Self. To look. 

Stuff happens in our lives, all the times. Acceptance is useful here. It will bring us face to face with what we value about life, as contrast, in gentle or most often, traumatic ways. We might never have seen it coming but on reflection we can often see our setups. Those times and spaces where we weren’t paying attention, where we failed to stop and where we listened to what sounded convenient and took the easy way out. Which is different than appreciating one’s own flow.

Most of us are not in strong enough daily congruent states to build in a flood plane and then not be surprised when the rain comes and the house floods. We might wonder sometimes why a neighborhood can be decimated and one house is not. Perhaps there is something different about the energy of the owners that keeps them safe in a sense of higher ground. Why is it that some get a disease that can kill many and it just dissipates in another?

Only when we realize what our feelings are letting us explore, from within our non attached sense of Consciousness, can we own our feelings and then shift gears, intentionally if wanted. There is nothing wrong with being unhappy. It can be a useful state at times. But who wants to be unhappy for more than a moment?

There is nothing wrong with feeling like a warrior vanquishing the bullies and protecting the weak. And felt, with righteousness and belligerence can wear a soul down. When it is coming from within a rule set of victim/abuse/user etc. it may be a sense of power/loss of power that is active. And it keeps creating realities of happening again and again and the highs and lows of joy/misery.  The pattern is set in place and the people and circumstances may change over the years, but the same dynamic is playing out for the lifetime.

Employing our ability to manifest our love of Self and others takes maybe many different moments of wanting to and choosing to BE Love. Is it Love betrayed you are feeling or is it your ideas of what Love means to you, your illusions of what Love is, that you are in resistance with? How is your pain helpful in supporting your wounded beliefs of Love and what you think you deserve to experience? We can say we want Love but if is with attachment it is not Love, only our illusion of Love.

Letting go means one can experience something else without the poison of the past. It is how we transcend our wounds into the gifts that they are if we are willing to unwrap them.

JIE Episode 37 Blog/ At The Our Core Of Our BEing

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 
Podcast releasing Tuesday June 2, 2020 

Episode 37 Blog/ At The Core Of Our BEing   

I am not in any way shape or form with any level of training as a scientist with specific training and learning traditions. But I can speak to their fields of knowledge from my own experience and wisdom.  

Consciousness is made up of many things. Actually every thing, in the cosmos is part of collective we call Consciousness. Be it energy or form of some sort that we can observe and that which we cannot observe as it has no observable physical form but is just as real. And then there is Potential, the Unknown. Space too is not empty but filled with dynamic energies we can label.

Depending on your training you can take apart all the known and unknown factors that we use as anchors in Consciousness. Things like electricity and gravity and magnetism can be observed taking place and then there is what is taking place that is not seen but maybe observed over years, like the nature of black holes. There is also Scalar energy which is found on our quantum level of awareness. 

Go inward and sit in the seat of the Spirit realm as such. It is the quantum realm. It all can get confusing at times when we are thinking about it. Religion and what we think spirituality is, what metaphysics is and what science is finally identifying comes with language that can just create more confusion when we have broad backgrounds of inquiry and exploration about BEing. Pile on lots of studies and confusion can reign in the alignment. Different traditions use different language for referencing the same thing. And then one may tend to use a mix of terminology.

So we pull back the labels and just let our senses experience. We pull back and let mind relax and we enter into the world of scalar dynamics and energy.  We enter our core Essence as Consciousness.

Scalar energy is quantum energy. It is life force, called prana, chi, mana, zero point field, and other things. We can feel it. We can manipulate it. We can create with it. We can heal with it. We don’t make it. It is the given.

My metaphysical senses and abilities at an early age took me places with being intuitive and psychic and hot hands that could make others feel better, clear conditions. My hands don’t get that hot these days but if I wave my hand people can fall over.

By my adult years, my life’s health journey was compromising the length and quality of life. I would come to find myself exploring into the quantum realm of embracing Life. I had to go beyond any training or tradition of medicine. Going beyond my own or anyone else’s construction of God, Source, Universe and the Spirit realm. Taking all the metaphysical skills I had and reframing conclusions and seeming certainties into a state of just information, not judgments that I was not even aware I was holding.  

I reconnected with the power of not just Self/Mind but of not seeing a spiritual life in terms of good and evil, the world full of rights and wrongs and thinking that mind was all there was and believing in my limitations as real. Any emotion, be it love, fear, abandonment, etc., any trauma of abuse or compromise had value in the scheme of things. My judgments were the issues. My human values.    

I started to explore the reality of Consciousness that our quantum levels of awareness embody. I had to find a way out of my box that was turning into a casket.

I didn’t have to become a physicist or quantum scientist. I just began to appreciate the growing field of Consciousness technologies. And sharpening up my sense of bias, of judgments and conclusions that are in every thing we observe and label in any tradition of learning. I just learned to let go of what I thought something had to be into just being open to noticing what was present to my senses and not judging the information. To be in a state of Essence.

I can feel when bias is present in the word used. I could pull the qualities of awareness into my own observations about energy. To be free of any religious, spiritual labels and encompassing beliefs that not allowing me to access potential. To shift how I was experiencing life from within my own bias of rules about life and those traditions of learning were encompassing. How I was fulfilling my destiny and playing into my own creation.  I needed to create different rules of bias if I was to live.

And so, it began, this part of my journey of enlightenment. Into BEing. I had been all along but not with any awareness that I was forming my reality. That I would start unfolding into my truth of Essence as Consciousness free of any dictates we label. 

Someone can tell you something and you agree or disagree it is true because it has no connection to you within.  You don’t feel any connection. And the connection can be there but confusion/avoidance/resistance is wrapped around it. Connection is a feeling. It is also a sense and a state of awareness.

Scalar energy is in the core, the heart of everything that is in the cosmos and in us. It is sunlight and starlight and it is the essence of Life.

Episode 31 Blog/  Heart Centered Awareness, the Field of Unified Consciousness is Alive 

What we call Heart Centered Awareness the Field of Unified Consciousness is actually an active transformational reality if you were to recognize it as such. Your world is not just some thing you observe but are actively creating through our shared genetic memory. Rupert Sheldrake calls it Morphic Resonance. The potential in Being is the unknown available material able to interact with energy.

The realm of Spirit and Consciousness is filled with the senses of malleable time and space where our physical reality seems to hold them as fixed. Time and Space have become standards to anchor our experiences to. We have developed a process where stuff happens over the course of time and plays out. The truth? Whatever we think manifests instantly. Our challenge in this is that we are unclear in our manifesting. We are always creating all kinds of contrasting dynamics. In the Spirit realm this is clear and in this physical world which embodies contrast it is not.

We shift from the set quality that our daily reality may seem to be and become flow oriented not event oriented. It is not enough to see and have a new awareness. How many times have we had an awareness or someone else has one for us and it didn’t change anything? Instead you set up adaptive behavior to try and control not having to experience or feel the same in the future. The patterns involved originally are still engaged without being different. and you may be busy activating an existing or developing a pattern that knowing the truth doesn’t make a difference in changing the wound or world of you.

When we are paying attention in a state of not being attached to the same outcome, we can engage it and feel it in different in some way. We don’t have to validate the existing story pattern. That is the Now. The pattern is in your past. It has no need to continue into your future. Unless you are attached in recreating the pattern every time.

You can register the change or shift as a new choice emerges. And it isn’t about the outcome in the future but in knowing and recognizing that something has changed right now. You feel different in sometimes subtle and sometimes dramatic ways.

This is Being Present Now. Time and Space have shifted a bit and our stories patterns of what we were feeling are now stopped. All the elements that we think we are, personality, patterns of beliefs and behaviors, emotions, thoughts, etc. are not us. We may call them I, Me, Mind or Self but we are bigger. Eckhart Tolle puts it this way “I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions and experiences, I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am Consciousness. I am the Now. I am.”

In the quiet, the calmness, the sacred of BEing aware, as Consciousness, there is none of the doing of working at some thing that Self is busy perpetrating. You instead, become an active listener/traveler. Life is not about doing. It is about BEing.

Our reality takes on such a seamless dynamic that you lose the discernments that make up your judgments about your realities. Your bias and perceptions and experiences work together creating a sense of any one life theme, the story you have created about being you as human.

Consider Reality as made up as strips of film, individual groupings of pixels as pictures. Each grouping or picture validates individual moments of being in form. String them together and those individual arrangements of pixels become a moving moment of reality where we are captivated.  We will take what we notice in our picture and activate it and let it become a moving engaged state of reality.

Now, it doesn’t matter how you might notice this experience, happening in the moment, though awareness is nice. Most of us can be pretty dumbed down to being alive so awareness can seem to build over a sense of time like many things that we attach Time and Space to. But, it doesn’t have to. 

The more you pay attention that some thing different is possible and could be enjoyed it comes into form, into reality.

Consciousness and Your Day to Day

Do you enjoy your day to day life? What is it filled with? Does it leave you excited for the next day?

What would it be like to look forward to your unique day, and the day after and the day after? 

Sometimes in the humdrum that we might enjoy at times we might lose a sense of excitement about our day and the days that follow. 

Opening ourselves up to the unexpected and variety of all kinds happening in user friendly ways might seem a threat to our finely set sense of control.  

It doesn't have to be. Enjoying expanding rule sets are helpful. 

You know your rule sets. Such as "Oh, I am not the artist, my sister is the artist", " You will never amount to much.The men in our family are always achievers". "Public service will never pay. Greed is good". You can live your day to day life following these rules and fighting with them. All of them come with a hook that rips. None of them are true. 

Rule sets are what we define them to be, the states of awareness that Life is. We are powerful and dynamic in projecting what we think Life is and how it will show up. We base much of our world view and Life on assumptions and acceptance without question. 

Our self identity is filled with stuff that really is not true but we think is. Self image and identity could offer a sense of enrichment or it can be a downward slide, events piling up validating your viewpoints in support. That is how dynamic we are. We manifest our emotions that color our thinking. We create our reality.We share in those realities. 

How to enjoy something different, a different pattern of belief and behavior means one must question the status quo. How to do it is to realize that you are more than what you think and feel you are and our surrounding myths. Start there.

Heart Centered Awareness, the Field of Unified Consciousness is available within. Accessing it, free of your self identity and image loosens the patterns of belief and assumptions that you have made up about being who you are. 

You are a unique self created idea of reality in a body form. Do you realize that? Even conjoined twins are unique to one another. 

But we are One shared state of Heart. We are individually part of the whole. 

Make time and access Heart Centered Awareness. It is right there inside you. Allow yourself to see what your self imposed ideas of Life are. Question what you experience Life as and notice what it would be like if that could be different. Question what seems real and solid and what you never question. 

Let Consciousness interact with your day to day in a more noticeable way. Let your new awareness influence and color your Life. We will all be better for it.

Consciiousness and the State of Your Heart

How is your heart doing these days?

The Field of the Heart is made up of three distinctions. We have our physical heart, our emotional heart and our core essence when we talk Heart. They work together in harmony, keeping balance, always.

When issues appear in one distinction it is reflecting in the other two.Since the heart is the first organ to develop in the embryo the circulation and communication it provides is everywhere. It is the physical manifestation of Being. So if you have a pain, whether it is physical, or emotional or at our essence level as our connection to Consciousness, you will be relaying the information to the whole body and mind field. The same goes for Joy. And any emotion.

On the electrical and magnetic level of awareness you are also accessing and affecting those around you and across the world if you tune in. Also the time and space is malleable so you are resonating in both past and future realities. There is a lot out there that is an extension of Essence affecting your current physical form.

I am, among other things, a clearing house energy. Perhaps you are too.  You may feel in some sensory data input those "others".

I heard, years ago when I was first time in a Matrix Energetics seminar, the Voice. You know the one I mean, the internal one who has been in there for years. It said, as I was being present, "What is it like to be a toxic waste dump? And down the rabbit hole I went. I knew I was in for a bumpy sliding ride.

I would later come to realize that being a toxic waste dump is a very dynamic place to be. It did not have to be the horrible thing death sentence I had been projecting it to be. Where does humanity release their toxic thoughts and emotional states? How do we get rid of the garbage? We certainly are happy to share with others.

Certainly Western societies can generate massive amounts of physical waste. Most of which they dump someplace and expect it to be all okay. Blindly. For it can take thousands of years before decomposition starts to take place. What about the energy of emotions and thinking? It can leave an energetic impression on the generations that follow, on their objects and the ground they walk.

Now, nobody likes to think that this is their relation with others on this planet. But facts are facts! This is the reality I have created. So how to make it work, how to enjoy life, how to find the value in life with such a gift has been my Journey of Enlightenment. It was not a surrender. It was a coming into alignment with my unique gifts and a win/win.

You upgrade the machinery you provide service with and give back what others need in order to become who they can become. I don't judge the shit. I don't judge the creator of such. You are a Bridge of Transcendence. It is a capability we all have and most don't hold in awareness.

There are ebbs and flows in how one might experience being alive and what meaning one's life has. Along the way you will feel and fall into patterns of thinking and behaviors. Some you will enjoy and some you will resist, some you will deny. Those that you resist and deny will stay with you until you quit resisting the information as you think you know it to be and let it reveal itself as your hidden truth and treasured awareness. .

We have been in a collective uproar for a long time in our humanity. We are all learning how to be Spirit in a human form with Love and Grace and a sense of Oneness for as long as there has been an awareness that it is helpful to think and live this way. It has come and gone many times in civilization and still it is there.

How is your heart doing? Take a moment or two and notice. Access Heart Centered Awareness and just listen and feel what is present. Breathe through your heart. Notice your garbage. What do you do with it? Do you judge it? Recycle what you can, go through it looking for missed treasures or let the bacteria and microscopic life forms that are designed to break it down be present? Let nature do it's thing with supplying the means to deal with what you have created. Leave the world a better place, cleaner than you found it. Sweep up your emotional excesses and free the energy into potential again.

Let yourself breathe and feel your heart beat.

JIE Episode 20 BEing is Performance Artistry

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet Podcast Episode 20 Blog

BEing is Performance Artistry  

Many of us might not think this way but we each truly are performance artists. Our lives are an expression of Being. So, let’s consider the elements in expressing our art in terms that any great artist in any creative endeavor comes to know, as our guide.

Sheryl Hirsch-Kramer, my guest this episode suggests this with her students: Access the avenue of where the art is already done. Simply a matter of then expressing. Sounds like being present in Heart Centered Awareness to me. We will start there.

If you have never considered yourself an artist of being, no problem. Just let yourself be present. Take your next breath through your heart and let a re-tuning and refining in your integrity of Self and Consciousness. Right in this moment, you are experiencing the art of being alive.

You, by simply breathing are expressing who you really are. Whether you are aware of it or not, you already are.   

There is that place where one is learning and the difference one feels where the medium meets the innate physical ability and the eye and internal says yes, this is my truth. Artists learn about their medium of choice, be it singing, writing, painting, numbers, people, etc. They navigate with developing skill sets and then reach maturity in the expression.

Any final piece is a marriage of inner and outer vision and intent and accomplishment. It will be an ongoing state of taking in information and awareness to express with its ebbs and flows of moments. Artists create a body of work. They will go through different periods.Sounds like living a life. 

Great artists appreciate:

Judgment is fluid. No judgement, being the best you can be, is fluid.

No pressure to conform. We spend much energy in trying to meet others’ ideals that seem to have become our ideals. They are not.

 
Thinking outside of the box. Realizing that you have a box is important in order to not be defined by it.

Take new approaches. Embrace change.

Being fearless. Putting into action what is your truth no matter your own reluctance, the environment or the prevailing opinion.

It is innate, this ability to express oneself, in some way. Everyone around you is expressing their awareness in being alive.

Just breathe into the awareness that YOU are a work of art. A unique living breathing work of art. You are Essence in human dynamic form. Sometimes we can get nervous about how we come off to another. That’s okay. Let it be excitement.

Like any great work of art, we are invited to look beneath the surface or into what is showing. We can see into the illusion of the moment and find different moments in play. We see and feel dimensions when what we are looking at may only be a flat surface. 

See another as the work of art that they truly are. Feel this planet as unique work of living art that it is. Treat both with respect.

Birthday Thanks

Last week I celebrated my 65th birthday.

When I was in my late 20's this accomplishment was not a reality in my future. I never really thought of life much beyond my late 30's I guess. Illness of all kinds and physical pain keep me thinking in terms in the moment and of short life. Astrologically speaking, apparently there was no picture of health so it would become a journey of spirit and mind working together to support the body function.

Now I am set for many more moments and a much longer life. Why limit it? I am finally getting the hang of letting go of many of my assumptions about life I picked up along the way and being in a body and wanting out of it.

I like the energy of ageless and I realize that being present is how one is ageless. Age stops becoming ones reference in how one shows up.

I would rather value and appreciate where I am right in this moment and give thanks.

Thank you to all of you who sent me birthday wishes. Over 100 of them on fb. I am doing my best to personally respond to each, as you each took the energy to share your happy tidings with me. I feel that deeply and it has been a lovely warming these last couple of days.

Many I don't know personally. And the graciousness extended is, as I said, heartwarming.

Thank you to my husband. After 43 years, there is much to recommend him. I chose well. He is the reason I am still alive and thinking in terms of living some more. But today I thank him for his computer skill sets and keeping me safe and warm and with some money in the bank and helping me deal with Medicare and insurance and all the ways one can be compromised filling in the important forms. .

Thanks to my colleagues who feed my soul and support. We all have different backgrounds and stories and share life on this planet and that adds to my delight in diversity. 

Thank you to Mother Earth and all her bounty. I drove around in the beauty of the fall sunlight and fresh air today and just reveled. Breathed it in when we parked, enjoyed the view and felt life.

Thanks to Boyd who creates music and acts as sound engineer for my podcast. He supports me in my enjoyment in spreading around this world that being able to connect to our essence and Consciousness as Spirit in human form is rich, rewarding and essential. Together we share in our awareness that Life is what you make it to be and being able to change what you make it out to be is not as hard as you might think it is. Just need to experience it.

Thank you to my mentors over the years who shared how it is possible to enjoy life if that is what you want to do. Among them Dr. Kam Yuen, Dr. Richard Bartlett, Dr. Mark Dunn, Grandmaster Foo, and their great surrounding teams of" potential explorers".

Thank you to the medical field that did not know how to define me or help me at times. Thank you to those who help me now. 

And to all of you.

Thank you for those who took a leap of faith and continue to explore Life beyond the perceived reality of the human body and mind with me.

It is lovely to be alive sharing in our grand experiment.

Consciousness and the Awakened Hearts of Friendship

`

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet

15/Consciousness and the Awakened Hearts of Friendship

In her book The Awakening of Friendship Carol Olivia Adams articulates what it means to live with others sharing on this planet.

What is essential to enjoying Life? Carol identifies 9 core principles that awaken us to how to live with others. They are also priceless in dealing with ourselves. They bring out the best in each of us. 

These principles may seem as only ideal concepts or conditional at times but they are within each of us. Some are as dynamics more awakened than others or maybe not so apparent. But they are what gives us meaning to embracing Oneness, Wholeness and our spiritual terrain. There can be no harm in utilizing them.  

These principles are to be found in the wisdom of patience and time, and our inner sense of security which brings serenity. It is in our courageous action of thought and motion guiding us and the art of listening to others that gives us not only perspective but witnessing for another.  Compassion brings us wisdom in action. Our willingness to engage faith and experience the gift in generous sharing leads us to gratitude and back to the essence of love. We hold this in our human emotional heart and as the essence of all as Consciousness.

Our heart is always beating when it is alive. It registers the degree of aliveness of the being that surrounds it. It just keeps beating, in all conditions of environmental chemistry. It registers ebbs and flows of blood. It registers the rhythm of our life.  

Each of us is a unique human individual though we share in similar actions and dynamics as a species.

I know what makes my heart beat physically easier. I know what my emotional heart feels like when it is filled with the pleasure of a smile or held hand, or someone valuing me. I know what serenity I feel as Spirit in connection with another as Consciousness.

It leaves me grateful to be alive, to feel, to think, to connect in the physical and non physical realms of Being.

My heart is awake. Is yours?
