Quote: As great as the distractions are in having a body, so great are your opportunities. Q: I was wondering if you could tell us what happens to us when this body leaves this earth plane? John: What are you being on this earth…
Topic: Meaning of Life
This conversation addresses destiny. Does it just happen or can we do something to change it? John explains how it can only be changed with a shift of awareness: away from our emotional makeup into what we know the truth of in our heart, bringing stability, freedom and healing that before seemed impossible.
This questioner speaks of having no secure ground within and of not trusting others. John shows him how he can find real ground within, beneath his experience; that believing and being loyal to that knowing will bring real groundedness and stability whatever his experience.
Popular culture asserts that your hopes and dreams are what give your life purpose. But what if looking for a meaningful life through the fulfillment of your hopes and dreams is actually a prison of your own making? Becoming free is the difference between looking for meaning and being the meaning that you really are.
“In this interview with Rishi Itzhak, John describes the essence of his teaching: how to awaken to reality, most of which is unseen by the minds of our selves and how the entrance to that reality is through the heart and the fundamental beingness of openness and softness.
Asked basic, but important questions, John explains in detail what is actual in this world but not ‘real’ in the greater context covering such topics as:
Why there is so much depression in the world. The full potential of our selves. Being around an enlightened teacher. The power of thought, will and emotion . Why fear keeps us from manifesting what we are truly meant to be
Rishi is a therapist who specializes in rebirthing and meditation, instructing students and practitioners alike. He studied at the Osho Multiversity in Poona, India, as well as in Greece and Italy. With over 20 years of experience in his field, he presently lives in Isreal with his wife and two children. He is the co-owner (with his wife) of the ‘Centre for Breath and Meditation’.”
When we work hard, have projects and goals, it can be difficult not to be dependent on the outcome. Striving for success and a fear of failure – how to overcome this source of stress? In this talk John offers keys and codes on how to connect your life on the surface with deep inner beingness.
We often ask ourselves what direction to take in life when we’re facing an important decision. John explains that what we do on the surface doesn’t matter very much, including whether we succeed or fail. What matters most is the beingness of openness and softness of heart, flowering in all of life’s circumstances.
What is true love? Do we meet our loved ones again after we die? In this talk John explains what love really is, what happens after death and how we reconcile our lives, our selves and our relationships with our eternal nature.
The most powerful human engine is sexuality. The sexual fields are the magicalness of our sexuality, a magicalness that isn’t reachable and obtainable through anything that we can do in our selves. We can’t access them without deepening in our humanness: that our initial purpose of life comes from being within the heart and coming from the heart. Living from that is the revelation of our humanness. The mystery is all there in our sexuality, in the meaning of meeting and communion, connecting us to the beyond.
What is true individuality? How are we different and what is it that makes us the same? How would we change, as humanity, if we connect as beings rather than selves? John explains the shift of connectivity that happens when we awaken to the calling. In allowing our awakening to manifest through our heart, self and person, we manifest the beginning of oneness, realized in form.
In this dialogue John answers questions about his own awakening, what he saw at age 12, how it continued to unfold, and how we too can give form to what we really are. He explains knowing and awakening to something other than your self, what happens to us when awareness is distorted, and how to easily and naturally come out of that distortion into a true way of being.
“If before we are born we are in a place of absolute peace, and, if after we die we return to a place of absolute peace, what’s the point for us to just go through this life? Wouldn’t it be easier just to kind of skip over this part?” Listen to this golden oldie for an introduction to the meaning of life.
