What to do when wonderful awakening experiences fade away, and resistance, fear and suffering return to our experience? John reminds us that we know something much deeper within, which is different than our self. Suffering is in the self, it comes from what is familiar. There is no suffering in knowing, in being in what knowing is in our heart; and there is no suffering in the purity of liking. Liking knowing the deep within removes the suffering. It’s easy, natural, direct and immediate.
The questioner feels connected to her heart when she is being silent, but when she speaks she feels disconnected. How to speak from the heart? John explains how we are able to open our hearts in the midst of our life, regardless of the experience in our selves. We are able to not close even when there’s pain or discomfort. If we are okay with the cost of that, our selves will change, grow, develop, and purify.
The blocks are what you’ve put in place in your movie life to protect you from your real unseen life. The blocks are made of your role being made important in the movie. Your reason for being in the movie is not about the movie role. It’s about you being present as a being in that movie role. The benefit isn’t for the role, it isn’t for the movie; it’s for you as a being.
We have many energy centres in our bodies. These energy gates are doorways to our being and to deeper levels of existence. The energy that trickles through them is what gives meaning to our life. How do we open these gates more fully and step into a magical being-filled life? Listen to this podcast to find out!
The real power of human sexuality is very different from how the world relates to it. When our sexuality is connected through the heart directly to our being, it can be the fire that burns up everything that isn’t real in our selves, transmuting our selves into a true expression of our being – what we really are.
“As you, within the movie of your life, relate to the resonance within each of your chakras, these energy gates open and you begin to trickle into your being, giving you a little bit of real, unseen life in your life.”
John answers questions on various topics, in an open mic setting. How to have a deeper relationship with your children, how to open without reason, coming from the roots of your awareness in your meditation and in the rest of your day, the practise of NLP – is it helpful?, the need to be happy, being okay in the midst of anything, sexuality, deeper womanness and deeper manness, overcoming childhood trauma and what makes therapy work.
“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.”
