In what John describes as the legitimate and wonderful pull towards sexual union, there’s no room for want or need, hope or disappointment. This dialogue takes a deep dive into the topic of sexuality and power, and how it can all come to rest in a fully opened heart.
After great experiences of inner surrender, awakening and peace, why is it that distracting thoughts and emotions return? John reveals the way from a divided heart to one rooted in knowing and how that gives rise to nurturing thought and feeling.
“In realizing who I am, I no longer moved as what I am. That one realized shift changed everything. A change of context realized, known, permanently changes the whole.”
“Deeper sexuality cleans by virtue of what it is: it’s clean. It’s clean of all attraction and aversion.”
“Having launched into being consummately gentled and quieted in your heart, there’s this other pulse that you can now hear. The pulse of a deeper level of reality.”
“The only turning that matters is you, awareness, turning into what you newly, directly know.”
“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.”
