JIE Episode 53 Bog Enjoying Life Is My Choice
Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet Podcast

Episode 53 Blog Enjoying Life is My Choice
For many enjoying life can seem like a nice idea. Nice but not likely. And they can list all their reasons for thinking that. I have experienced many disease patterns that have challenged me to being alive. The following principles have helped me form a now present reality that Life can be and is an enjoyable expression.
1. We are each Consciousness in human
form. Each of us is responsible for our choices on the deepest
levels as the way Consciousness experiences and expresses itself.
2. Consciousness allows for all.
It does not care or judge. Humans care and feel attachment.
Consciousness is not attached to outcome.
3. Consciousness celebrates variety. It
would be boring if we all looked alike, acted alike, thought alike. We also
would have died out a long time ago without our ability to adapt to our geographical
environments.
4. Consciousness has a deep,
broad sense of humor and tolerance. Humans are highly entertaining.
5. Be willing to explore internally.
Making the time to contemplate, meditate, question, ponder, reflect is a
gift to oneself. Hindsight is a lovely thing and too late.
6. Embrace the power of your emotions
and use them constructively. Sabotage, subversive, explosive are not
helpful ways to interact with them.
7. Question everything. Assume nothing.
Someone else’s truth is not always your truth no matter the source. Question
the source.
8. Think in ways that enrich and do
not diminish yourself or others.
9. Accept that you have
conscious/unconscious rules in place about Life that decide how you
will experience it. How you perceive Life to be is a collection of learnings,
trainings, thoughts, experiences formed by perceptual filters. They are also
mutable, changeable, and don’t have to be set in stone. You have choice.
10. Value
your unique self and realize that you are not any more special than anyone
else. We serve differently from one another in many different ways. We cannot
know all the different ways. Each of us is important. Each has a place in the
totality of the All.
11. Acknowledge
that we all live on this pale blue dot called Earth in the middle of the
immenseness of the Cosmos and we share it. We can work together, or we can
destroy it with the division of selfishness that comes with
our sense of separateness from each other.
12. Learn
to not judge yourself for what life position you experience. Value your life
experiences and place them in a context that enriches you.
13. Realize
that when you feel victim to people or events, you feel less than and you
learn of helplessness. It can take you to your knees or give you reason to
rise up.
14. Feel
okay for whatever you are feeling, about anything. Give yourself permission to
be real and not apologize for how you feel and think about anything, to anyone.
And what you can be feeling in one moment may be different in the next.
15. Focusing
on the negative reinforces the negative. Focusing on the positive reinforces
the positive. If you are focusing on the positive because you are in reaction
to the negative your results are not going to be as successful as if you
enjoyed focusing on the positive because you enjoy the positive.
16. Appreciate
what you have and don’t have. Hold the gift of awareness and gratitude for what
wonders Life has to offer in whatever guise that might be.
17. Being
human is a gift. Being alive is a gift. Without our next breath and drink of
water we are dead. Life is precious and gone in a heartbeat.
18. We
have the power to grow, help, heal, explore, design, destroy, cultivate,
enrich, maim, kill, share, violate, forgive and change our minds. We decide.
19. We
have the power to engage, retract, to wait or to be still or take action,
and knowing when to do any is vital.
20. We
are beings who do. Not doers who be.
21.To
give is to receive. To receive is to give. Same energy. Both are only labels of
the direction of flow from heart centered space.
22.There
are rights, there are wrongs and both are only labels. There is black; there is
white. Both are only shades of gray.
23. Magic
and miracles are common and demonstrate our appreciation for something
different and unexpected. They are the potential and the possible as
real.
24 There
is only the present. Which is already a result of the past. Tomorrow is now.
25. Who
you are is part of a story and myth and lineage, and is only that. At times it
might feel karmic, predetermined, or out of your control. All of it is only
subject to our biases and interpretation and acceptance. All
is active and in play writing itself as you speak. DNA is subject to the
effects of RNA.
26. We
each are the final decider on how we respond to what Life has to offer and
share. We each create our reality of life. We are the sum results of our
illusions of what we think Life is.
27. We
are all Consciousness exploring, Consciousness expanding, Consciousness evolving.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Charles Dickens begins A Tale of Two Cities with “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us …” Written in March 1859
Life was not easy in Victorian England. Life is not easy in the modern world today. But it would seem the energies present are not so different almost 150 years later. And probably through out history epoch of societies and civilizations have gone through the same to the observing commentator.
Take the day to let go of the blame, fear, your story of separateness.
Access heart and feel where Wonder is present.
And, for the rest of your day let Awareness of Wonder BE present. Instead of blame, fear, your story of separateness.
Happy New Year!
