Q: Hello John. Maybe you can explain a little bit to me what is happening when I’m here in the meetings. I am aware of a special space with my mind. My heart is getting open. Do I get in contact with my real ‘you’? Realizing what ‘you’ are, and then another question….
John: Yes, yes, and yes.
Q: And what I’m doing in my daily life to prevent all of this?
John: Yes. This belongs in your daily life. What prevents that, is that what your heart belongs to in your daily life isn’t the same as this.
Q: And how can I shift this to my daily life?
John: You need to surrender to what’s happening in your heart, what is happening in your heart in your being here. Then instead of it happening in your heart, this becomes your heart. When it becomes your heart you can take it into your daily life. What happens in your heart of deeper levels within, you cannot take into your daily life.
In your heart you need to become this first. Your heart becomes what is happening in your heart when you do completely take to heart what’s happening in it. What keeps you from that, what keeps you from taking so much to heart, is that your heart will not be the same as your self anymore. Your heart will be different than your self. Your heart will be different from what your self is.
To be a different kind of heart, you’ll need to bring that fully into your self, for you to be able to bring such heart into your daily life. For you to bring this kind of heart into your self, you know within your self that your self cannot remain the same way anymore. It will all change, and if your self changes, your daily life will really change. Your self and your daily life will become the same as what is happening in your heart in your being here.
Q: And do you think I can manage this in one life?
John: You can complete all of this in full manifestation in one life.
Q: You mean by totally surrendering to my heart?
John: To what is happening in your heart, yes. That costs you only your self, your daily life and your future. All three will be all different, just as what is happening in your heart is different than your heart. And it’s not different from what you know the truth of in your heart. That much is the same.
From the deepest level, within, as you belong to what’s taking place in your heart you will lose nothing. It will cost you nothing, and with your awareness, through your heart, surrendered to what you know the truth of within that is of the deepest level in you, as awareness, from within the deepest level, you will be coming into and having all of the levels that follow, including your heart, your self and your life.

“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
