How do you heal and fulfill your sexuality? What is human sexuality for? In this talk John explains how to connect your sexuality to your being, building a new self in place of what was old, a self that is free to move just like your being. Your sexuality is your greatest human power; you integrating that power transforms your sexuality, self and your life.
The questioner experienced an awakening but finds it difficult to stay in it because of stress and pain. John explains that this is because she is relating to her awakening from her self instead of relating directly without “keeping an eye” on her self. John speaks of the stream of what we know; when we merge with what we know in our heart we are in the stream. Then, instead of emotion and experience moving, it’s our heart that is moving, which is deeply transformative to our self. The awakening is newly found and the stress in the self dissolves.
Being in nature is a source of great joy for many, but is there a deeper meaning beyond the pleasures that nature’s abundance and beauty provide? This interview with John de Ruiter was filmed on the last day of a 6 day camping trip in the spectacular Canadian Rockies with over 400 people in attendance. In it, he explains not only the deeper meaning of being in nature but the potential value of being in it together.
When you awaken to more than this mundane existence, how can you make that real in your life? How can you let it have more form in your life? How to get out of the matrix? The answer, John says, is in letting the roots of your awakening go to your being. Then, like a tree, you become planted in what you really are, planted in your source.
The questioner describes an experience in which he saw a shell around him, blocking him from being in his heart and experiencing life fully. John explains that this shell is common to many; it is made of forms of illusion that we have empowered. John shows us how to give our power, through our heart, to what we actually know the truth of. We become free of the shell and its confining influence.
Why do I have this shell around my heart? John explains the power of illusion to create separation, and how to become free of its influence.
“All you are is gentled within, and this movement of being wakes you up in your self to what is so much deeper than anything to do with your self, changing your whole sense and experience of your body and of reality. It changes your whole sense of self.”
The questioner feels connected to her heart when she is being silent, but when she speaks she feels disconnected. How to speak from the heart? John explains how we are able to open our hearts in the midst of our life, regardless of the experience in our selves. We are able to not close even when there’s pain or discomfort. If we are okay with the cost of that, our selves will change, grow, develop, and purify.
