“You begin to develop a body of the beyond. The beyond, by you, is in your flesh. As you walk this world the beyond that you are grounded in has life. As your self changes and turns into what you’re being in it, it isn’t just the beyond that is concretely in your walk, in your body as you move about in this world, but you also begin to have real life in your self, in the beyond.”
The questioner describes having been awakened to a deep energy of pure love within, and yet suffering still continues. John explains that the suffering is in the self, while the love is not. The love is your home. Your self suffers because it is not complete. You are complete. You don’t need to suffer. That puts your self in your care. Then, every difficulty that you have in your self will have you coming more deeply from the love that you’ve awakened to, within.
Parents face many challenging and stressful situations with their children every day, where practical needs seem to conflict with the ability to stay relaxed and kind. In this dialogue we find out how we can stay connected with our heart while addressing difficulties, and how children learn from their parents how to handle stress in a caring and effective way.
A questioner asks how to deal with difficult situations in life, such the death of a parent, that can trigger an experience of pain and difficulty. John speaks of death as something that can bring true perspective into our life; of love moving in pain and filling it, turning it into compassion. This is a talk on love, the passing away of veils in death and our real power being openness, allowing for love to fill all of our forms.
Is there a destiny and a purpose that we are to fulfill in this life? And if there is, how do we find it? The answer isn’t in what we think and can’t be found in what is familiar to us. We are able to deeply realize our life’s purpose by fully returning to and abiding in our heart and being. Listen to this podcast to find out how!
“Difficulty sends you to your resources …” John explains the evolutionary opportunity of this life and why, when we die, we’ll be indebted to the difficulties encountered.
“Love doesn’t move without it being empowered. All of the power that you experience in resistance is the power of love separate from love, moved as hardness. When you open in it, the hardness cracks open and all of the power that was held in it is released to where it belongs. It’s given through your heart to your being. Love is empowered and love moves.”
“My sole purpose is to be, in life, what we are after we’ve died. Through openness and softness of heart and core-splitting honesty at any personal cost, I live as that while actualizing the same in others I meet. I am available as a resource for anyone who recognizes and values this way of being.”
