How can we be free of the illusion of self-identity and the non-stop chatter of our self narratives? John’s answer details, in practical ways, the shift from an inner dialogue to a flow of being in your day, likening the right use of mind to watching TV: when you’re done, you turn it off.
How do we create separation? This dialogue shows us where our shadows lie, and how all the little annoyances we feel toward others can instead become reflectors of love, returning us to the grace we truly are.

“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.”
