In this busy world of computers, phones and increasing technology, how can we listen to the heart and stay committed to inner truth? John shares a tiny shift in relating that makes it easy in the midst of any kind of pressure.
A rich and unusual dialogue on the subject of love, death and real humanness. We’re shown the fineness of the thread that can change our destiny, and what it is that stays with us after we die.
This conversation is a simple introduction to the basics of John’s teaching, including a question for John about his own journey. In it, he describes how he returned to what he knew without any understanding: in his own words, “not even a clue.”
A decision taken in childhood that it is not safe to love is opened up in this dialogue. John reveals the mechanism and the role of emotion in its creation, and we discover how the whole structure can transform.
“It isn’t how much you know but how much you are in what you do know, even if that knowledge comes down to parts per million.”
In this conversation John describes the effect on our subconscious selves of a lifetime spent believing what we don’t actually know to be true. He reveals the way forward, from the darkness of false belief to the creation of a self of light.
Responding to a question about how consciousness and unconsciousness become one, John describes how realization, or its lack, forms the basis of our reality. A reality governed by experience or by what truly nurtures and satisfies us.
“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.”
