The woman in this dialogue is standing at the threshold of elderhood and needs to discern what’s next for her. John invites her beyond all familiarity into a deeper level, where she would be reconceived by her own deepest knowing, and live as what she will know when she dies.
Is there such a thing as life purpose, and do we have unique gifts to bring? John answers fundamental questions on what real destiny is and how it can change as we live.
In direct connection with John, this woman notices her heart and mind opening newly. John describes the price of having such a heart in everyday life, and why that cost is really nothing.
Unusual experiences that seem to come out of nowhere prompt the woman in this dialogue to seek John’s perspective. What’s happening and how can she live what she has newly awakened to in the busy-ness of her everyday life?
“The midnight being is you, there: you, before you came into this body, here, but wiped of all knowledge of what you were before. All you have as a being to live by are tiny, tiny little bits of direct knowledge that don’t offer you information. They offer you beautifully blind, original centredness which plays itself out in your humanness.”
“I need to know more about my soul.” So begins this finely detailed dialogue with John describing the soul, how it develops, and all that must harmonize to manifest its value in our life and with others.
“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.”
