In this dialogue a man shares the difficulty of having social anxiety, a state that has him wanting to avoid social situations altogether. Revealing the true source of his anxiety, John describes how it’s possible for him to replace the tension he experiences with joy.
Asked the ultimate question, “What happens after death?”, John answers the question in simple, yet concise terms, revealing what we really are and our sole purpose for being born. He goes on to describe the basics of what he’s doing in meetings and how we can take that out into our lives, where it matters most.
Frustrated by a lack of understanding, this questioner feels he’s not getting the help he needs to connect with his heart and the honesty John speaks of. By way of a simple metaphor, John illustrates the way out of frustration into surrender.
How did I get to feel so trapped in my self when I know there’s more to me? John describes the way to our deeper self, past practised methods of coping and ideas of self-esteem – all the way in to the real, unshakable you.
Depression and its paralyzing effect can seem insurmountable. John reaches into its darkness revealing its roots in our beliefs and, with practical examples, shows how we can be and sustain our own healing.
“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.”
