Are You Romanticizing Spirituality?
July 21, 2021 @ 12:00am
“The truth within is first all romanticized, until you’re in the desert, where all self-consolation, self-promise, self-hope has expired, and there you are in the quietude of your heart in a depth of listening within. You need no results. You need no fruit. You need no light at the end of the tunnel. You need no promise of anything. All you are is true. There’s nothing else to you, and the beingness of that is love. Love, all on its own, naturally undaunted by absolutely anything. That’s what you really are.”

A newly married woman is exploring how to give more outer form to her marriage, and discovering what it means to grow in realness, togetherness and deeper sexuality with her husband.
What is the energy of the feminine? Listening and being available, open and soft in the midst of strong and uncomfortable feelings. It's what you love, it's what you really are.
While the common wisdom of today suggests that self-empowerment is the key to success and happiness, John explains why this unintegrated form of awareness is not at all up to the task we've given it. And in fact, is the very reason many of us feel anxious, uncertain, and filled with a sense of lack.
Meeting John de Ruiter awakens deeper consciousness and the true purpose of life. The meetings bring us into the beauty and mystery within, a life infused with meaning, a heart infused with love.
This man has had vivid experiences on his spiritual journey but it has taken a lot of energy. He feels disconnected from everyday things, making difficult even his wish to find a partner. John shows him where the problem lies, how to be with his spiritual experiences, and how to become ready for a real relationship.
John gives a surprising response to this young man’s wish to be free of his addictions. Don’t stop! But he leaves the questioner with the key to his heart, and the freedom he’s looking for.
Our sense of freedom and individuality is exposed as illusory in this dialogue. John shows the questioner the key to the potential of our selves: the freedom of awareness confined to knowing, and further, that recognized sameness is the way to true individuality. This seeming paradox enables conductivity – the instant connection and free streaming of knowledge through our selves and beyond.
A woman speaks the extreme difficulty of her circumstances: her husband is in a coma and she doesn’t know how to handle all it means, and parent her children through the crisis. John shows her how goodness can thrive in hardship and how this deeper perspective can be a nurturing ‘love school’ for them all.
A painful physical experience has woken this man up to his body and the power of love in healing. He's shocked to see how he's neglected his body and wants to change, but how? John encourages him to let his feelings of guilt create a love-relationship with his body starting with the simple enjoyment of being in it “in the little things”.
“I'm haunted by my abusive past. How can I let it go?” John shows us how our beliefs are embodied in our nervous system, creating experience we make our reality. He shows how real healing doesn't come from understanding but from something much simpler: unconditional openness and softness of heart.
This man has experienced the disappointment of slipping into old patterns, letting love slip away, and ending up alone. Now in a new relationship, he wants to know how not to repeat that cycle.
A deeper awakening is bringing a whole new perspective, a new intimacy with form and the beginning of what John describes as real humanness. He explains how this deeper connectivity brings about a shift in human sexuality and the consciousness of the planet.
