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.”

“Cosmic love that calls you: higher than all of this world, most intimate and clean”. This is how John concludes his response to this young man asking the fundamental question: “What is Truth?” Watch the rest of his answer.
A young man would like to be free of the conditioning and judgments he knows are present in his sexuality and asks for help. John explains in practical terms how sexuality can be returned to the heart, freeing judgments held in the body and bringing balance and healing.
The Questioner is asking about something called a touchstone that is used to find what is gold and what is not gold. and something called the philosopher’s stone that turns base metal into gold. Which one is real?
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.
Is it possible to move past the sudden loss of a loved one? Can we be free of the fear that it may bring up about the inevitability of our own death? The answer to both questions, is yes.
In this talk, John explains that it is openness and softness of heart, in every little thing in life, that can become your beloved master. When you live being a servant to openness and softness of heart, that is you finding and living with the beloved within.
Through the story of meeting with a beggar, a man speaks of his sense of continually coming up against a threshold within that he knows will take him deeper, but which he cannot seem to pass through. John explains that this is an illusory threshold created by beliefs, and that the way through is by way of a complete return to innocence.
A mother feels entangled in the difficulties of her handicapped child's condition and asks how she can be of real help. John shows how they can meet and enjoy each other without the condition getting in the way, which will also help the condition. Don't wait until you die to really be with her.
Exploring the characters and concepts in the movie “Locke”.
– Moving by clarity, under pressure
– Lived-in clarity that is paid for through time and troubles
– If someone is living being really clear, they are generally not distracted.
– If the heart closes then there is no heart in the self.
– A heartless self: A less than human self.
– It’s an open heart that gives the self its humanness
– Separation begins at a subtle level.
– When awareness, on its own, turns away from what it knows, that manifests as a closing in the heart. It shows first in the heart, then in the self.
– Empowering direct knowledge into clarity and empowering clarity into our selves:it’s simple but it costs a lot.
– Relying on clarity is the step right into the self.
– Authentic kindness isn’t learned, it’s a fruit of being.
– The main character coming to love, where he didn’t want to.
How to transcend life and death?
– The principle of life and death comes in the integration of your self, from what is beyond your self.
– Realizing a profound equilibrium of meaning in living and in dying
– Being grounded in what you directly know of the beyond.
– No longer dependant on beliefs to be grounded in your perception of reality.
– Awakening life within that doesn’t pass away.
– You transcend life by coming into the deeper levels of life.
– You transcend death by not being limited to the level of life you perceive.
– Never loyal to your perception, in living or in dying.
Have you ever felt the influence of something deeper than your self which touches you deeply, but that you don't understand? What is the calling? What does it mean for the calling to move in you? In this dialogue, John gives guidance and explanation about the calling and its influence on the individual self. He further explains that as a result of this influence, our subconscious opens into our conscious self, exposing forms of illusion that come through our ancestry and how we’ve developed in our selves. As the forms of illusion fall away, what remains is the deep movement of the truth within, forming a different body, a body not like our selves, a body of being that we can move by
