Does the presence of tears mean that you’re being emotional? No, says John, and he goes on to explain what emotions are for and what to look for when we’re deeply touched.
There’s just one thing that can be of any help in a polarized world, and it matters more than any of our words and intentions. John explains why.
In this dialogue a questioner asks John about how to heal depression. Recorded at ABC Carpet & Home in New York.
A fundamental topic: the healing effect of no longer relating by positive or negative emotion instead of the connectivity of beingness.
John describes the gift in the death of a loved one, how to access the depth of the bond, and how to enter a relationship to our own death that brings life-changing perspective.
“Am I addicted?” A comment from a spiritual teacher has sent this person in search of the answer. John speaks in depth about how to be what we first are, whatever our addictions may be.
“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.”
– John de Ruiter
