A woman is experiencing a new, subtle sexuality in her body not connected to want and need but to qualities of dearness and love. John speaks about this deeper sexuality, its connection to her heart, her being, and how it all empowers her deeper womanness – the ability to meet and commune.
Exploring the characters and concepts in the movie “Locke”.
– Moving by clarity, under pressure
– Lived-in clarity that is paid for through time and troubles
– If someone is living being really clear, they are generally not distracted.
– If the heart closes then there is no heart in the self.
– A heartless self: A less than human self.
– It’s an open heart that gives the self its humanness
– Separation begins at a subtle level.
– When awareness, on its own, turns away from what it knows, that manifests as a closing in the heart. It shows first in the heart, then in the self.
– Empowering direct knowledge into clarity and empowering clarity into our selves:it’s simple but it costs a lot.
– Relying on clarity is the step right into the self.
– Authentic kindness isn’t learned, it’s a fruit of being.
– The main character coming to love, where he didn’t want to.
“It doesn’t matter what self you have, what life you have, what past you’ve had, the condition of your body. All that matters is that you, awareness, are synapsing with knowing and it is that that governs and determines your whole interior.“
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.
“With each level of your being that you come into, you are offered a different view of reality. The more views that you have of reality that are worked out into your thinking, your feeling, your seeing, and your perspective, the more balanced you are in your self within your sense of reality.“
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.
“Meaning knowing is your centre. It isn’t there to provide for your self. Your self is there to provide an entire field of form for that which needs none; your self deeply and uneventfully given to nothing, within.”
“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.”
– John de Ruiter
