“The deeper levels of your body are either still or flourishing. For the deeper levels of your body to flourish is for you to live in awakening.”
John responds to a person longing to find home within, yet repeatedly caught in patterned ways. He explains how we can move on two different levels, forming a living bridge that heals the split, within.
“Look for more and you find less. Look for less and you’ll find more.” A classic teaching that unwraps this paradox, revealing how it’s through being less and less that we awaken to the vastness of what we really are.
There’s a difference between the wish for information and understanding, and being receptive to living knowledge. Using an example from their conversation, John explains that difference.
What is real knowledge as distinct from mastering a subject? This is a conversation about real mastery: where it begins, how it manifests, the importance of surrender, and the only way to go.
Could simply trusting in existence be the key to happiness and peace? Using an analogy from nature, John explains how easy it is draw a false conclusion about the source of awakening and realization.
“Love, and you’ll know its intelligence.” A journey into the multilevelled body of love that lies beyond our comfort zone. John explains the role of the energy centres in allowing this love to have presence in the self.
“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.”
