In this dialogue the questioner speaks of having a sense of what is deeper inside him, and a readiness to connect more deeply. John’s response takes us from a whisper of what’s deeper, beyond the perspective of the familiar self, and into unseen levels of love. When we allow our being to be ‘in control’, we come back to our everyday selves with a renewed awareness of the eternal nature of real connection.
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.
“There is no embodiment of a level deeper, without moving through its dark night. There is no price too high for a caterpillar to pay in becoming a butterfly.”
“As newness, you lead. As newness moving, entering, there’s no reference to what has been. This movement is love.”
“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.”
