John guides a young man in his awakening experience, helping him to see the truth in what he’s knowing, realizing that as alien as the experience is to his habitual self, that he was not born for anything else.
What is real, direct knowledge amongst all that can seem the same: deep feeling, intuition and even clear thinking? This searching dialogue untangles what it means to be grounded in knowing, and how to be given only to that in the words we choose to speak.
The gift of being judgment-free has inspired this woman to go deeper into her heart. John shows her how to be taken by the delicacies in a flower, the sky and the stars, and how to follow through by letting these touches of being inform her womanness.
How is it that we can experience being ‘home’ within, and then suddenly lose it? John takes this young man through what’s happening in his nervous system and how, through the experience of a hot or a cold shower, he can realize and remember the code to the quiet okayness of home.
What makes the search for the truth, within, genuine? Is the purpose of this life to awaken? John and the questioner explore the difference between knowing the truth and living it, and how quickly we would do this if we knew we would die tomorrow.
“Why does the energy of awakening get stuck in my head?” This woman is also aware of making a lot of effort in her spiritual search, which seems to make things worse. An illuminating teaching on fundamental relaxation, the head’s connection with the heavens, and how that changes the brain.
“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.”
