What is the calling? How does the knowing of a depth way beyond our selves influence our lives and specifically our choice of partner? Listen to this talk and find out what it means to be in a relationship that is fair to your awakening and magnifies it.
What is our life for? What happens after we die? The questioner feels that he is making compromises in his life in order to function, work and make money. John explains that everything we do in life influences our life after death. Using practical examples, John guides us in how not to miss the wondrous opportunity of this life.
What is true individuality? How are we different and what is it that makes us the same? How would we change, as humanity, if we connect as beings rather than selves? John explains the shift of connectivity that happens when we awaken to the calling. In allowing our awakening to manifest through our heart, self and person, we manifest the beginning of oneness, realized in form.
Real womanness needs no defence, isn’t able to be overpowered. There isn’t anything that can enclose it, confine it, or stop it. Real womanness is quietly, deeply inviolable. Real womanness is just like our being. There, we have the potential for real relationship, that isn’t based on want and need, that doesn’t touch into lack. In these talks from an Open Mic gathering in Netanya, Israel, John explains how to let real womanness grow in us like a new inner garden, integrating our sexuality and enabling us to really get to know our selves.
The questioner had an experience where the structure of himself dissolved and everything was love. But when the experience dissipated, old structures returned. John explains that the experience is a beloved messenger. Instead of wanting the messenger to return, we can abide in the message it brings. When the knowing in the experience is enough, we become the same as the message.
“When you experience your subconsciousness coming up, all of the darkness, all of the fixations, everything that you’ve put together since you were little, as that comes up you just very quietly within add a tiny little bit of warmth. It’s your warmth. It’s your warm okayness within, your warm openness and softness. The fixations on their own in the midst of a climate change of warmth aren’t going to hold. Your internal climate change is going to permeate all your form.”
“The potential of reality is far far greater than the present configuration of reality. It’s awareness that opens it, by awareness being mastered by what is greater than reality.”
There’s a longing to live the love we know from a fully open heart, and there are the whispers from the ‘lawyer’ within who has other ideas. How should we respond? John describes how, without the ‘lawyer,’ we are like liquid gold in a life that is everlasting.
“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.”
