Listen to this talk to find out what grace and devotion really are; where they come from, what they’re for, and how to live for what you belong to.
The questioner in this dialogue expresses concern regarding the world situation: poverty, war, disease and debt. He is asking: how can we help to heal this planet? John explains: first heal your self. First change your self by being in your heart and deeper, and then the world can be healed. The health of this planet needs to come from the innermost outwards.
A question about the self, how to be free of it, free of being ‘selfish”. How to stay in the peace that isn’t of the self, and what is the distinction between the heart and the self.
How to be free of past hurts and conditioning? Is there a method that can help, a spiritual practice? Can meditation help? John explains why methods and spiritual practices ultimately don’t work. Spiritual practices can help bring you to the door of your being, but they can’t take you through the door. It is only a shift of orientation that can take you through the door, into pure you and into freedom from past hurts and from the conditioning in your self.
How to truly nurture your child? What happens when your child is discovering their power and testing yours, causing reaction? In this conversation John gives direction and guidance on how to sustain direct connection with your child and give them ground, stability and clarity in what is deeper, enabling them to know about what they really are and find it in you.
From the integration of the self to warmth and clarity, this dialogue explores the principles of awareness and knowing central to John’s teaching.
In this dialogue John answers questions about his own awakening, what he saw at age 12, how it continued to unfold, and how we too can give form to what we really are. He explains knowing and awakening to something other than your self, what happens to us when awareness is distorted, and how to easily and naturally come out of that distortion into a true way of being.
