Q: I do so love to meet with you. You’ve been speaking quite often of the deep and I’m not sure what you’re referring to. It appears that different people have different ideas of what the deep is. So that’s what I’ve been wondering: if it’s just in terminology or if it’s actually something I’m not knowing.
John: The deep has to do with the more of you, the more of you, within, that isn’t initially needed for being a functional self and functioning in this world. The deep is what is beyond your generally understood self, and generally understood relationships and life.
When all of that that is generally understood is understood to not fundamentally or even deeply satisfy, you have straight-away knowledge within that there’s more – known before but not necessarily pressing in. It begins to press in when what is generally known no longer suffices in being met, within, in being you, within. That knowledge, together with a kind of openness that is also beyond a generally understood openness, begins to open what is beyond…beyond your generally understood knowledge and life.
With the deep opening, you begin to be awakened to there being more of you that promises awakening to the much more of what is actually your self, beyond a generally understood self: a self with unthought-of ability, a self that isn’t needed for general life and function in this world, but a self that is needed to enter the mysteries of being in this world…a sense of mystery that has always touched you but has not really apprehended you, and, even more so, you have not apprehended it; the unveiling of mysteries very much at hand in everything to do with your self and in everything to do with all aspects of life; the more of you in the deep needed to generate greater form, a much greater self that would enable you, as a self, to be able to fully and deeply appreciate what it really means to be here on this planet and in this world. Instead of having seeing and perception and experience that generally lacks, awakening and living as a much greater self that generally doesn’t lack. Such is the integration of the deep, within, that is in proximity to your self.
The great more of you lies beyond that, within, where this planet and this world is not in mind. The awakening of such more of you opens up a function of self with ability that doesn’t really yet belong in this world, yet answers completely all lack and all problems in this world. To fully address what is and isn’t occurring in this world does require the awakening of all of you and its integration while being here in this world, bringing into this world what is profoundly and altogether needed…what is wanted, yet mostly not.
The panacea to anything – your self, this world, or this planet – is in the all of you, in everything, awakened and realized all the way back in and through your self, enabling all of you to be encompassed by all of your forms: all of you awakened, the levels of your forms opened, functional and with purpose, coming from and including everything.
Q: What a wonderfully awesome responsibility to be stepping into. Step by step, I’ll hold that in my heart.
John: The timely entrance to what is greatly ahead of our time. A portal becoming a place, becoming a planet – no longer planet earth but rather planet answered. All of our innermost, outward.
Without having the requisite self to hold this, this cannot even be called a vision. It’s beyond a dream. It’s not beyond you.

“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
