When: April 17, 2010
Afternoon Meeting
Where: ,

Q: There has been a lot of loss in my life the last three years. My heart wants to open but I’m feeling intensely a lot of grief and often fear. Is it just feeling it or trying to make it better?

John: You’ve been trying to make it better and all the while deeper help, unrecognized as that, keeps coming. Your losses keep bringing up the deep in you so, in that way, help keeps coming as to why you are really here in this world. Without such help you would be, in your self, overriding your own deeper interior. Life would just become about your self; it would become about a little self. A little self doesn’t at all relate to that which a bigger self does relate to.

Everything that doesn’t work for your little self helps you out of it. Even in fighting so much help you still become acquainted with the ‘more’, within. You are still getting to know more even if you’re not being it.

Q: Is that the help that feeds my spirit?

John: Yes, including the ways that are unrecognized. The more profoundly honest you are and quieted in your heart, the more you see it and, right there, there is no lack. In being surrendered to the meaning of that, you’ll have a bigger self than the littler one before. You’ll come to love what you know is big of you.  

Find the nurture in any little bit of actual heart-understanding you have, and that which you really are, deep within, will thrive.

What doesn’t feel good doesn’t change or remove that which is good.

Q: I want to clear up something with my father before he dies. I know the difference between being open and closed, but when I step into my parents’ home it’s very hard for me to stay open. It’s as if I step back into the child that sees
Q: How can I melt my frozen heart? John: Like that you have a heart, even though it’s frozen. That melts it a little bit. As your heart melts a little bit, you’ll know more. As soon as you know more in your heart, surrender to what you’re knowing.
Q:  My question is how to get to my next level of awareness. I’ve suffered a lot of pain this year and had an emergency operation. I didn’t see how dangerous the situation was. I stayed in my pain and arrived at the hospital almost at the last moment.
