A Self of Constant Change

John de Ruiter in Neve Shalom, Israel, in 2012


I loved seeing some of the live broadcasts of John in Germany over the weekend and tuning in to what he is ... and even though he was so very far away, on some level I was right with him.  He is away now to Israel for a two day event at Neve Shalom (on 31 January and 1 February) - click here for details.

I loved hearing him speak the other day about the evolution of awareness:

"The evolution of your self is completely dependent 
on the evolution of your heart.  
The evolution of your heart is completely dependent 
on the evolution of your being 
and the evolution of your being is completely dependent 
                       on your evolution as awareness..."                 -JdR 
 
And he spoke of having a self of change and a life of profound difficulty:

"Awareness that is evolving and moving forward,
that is awareness that increases in its capacity.
It increases in form in its ability -
what it is able to be and able to do is  
continually more -
that will always make diffficulty 
as close to you in your life 
                      as it's able to be..."         -JdR

And this, on difficulty

"Difficulty is what you are
simply in.
Real opportunity for what you really are
                  isn't separate from difficulty."
         
-JdR

I feel lately like it's all me, and that I can be at the tip of the arrow, moving forward... At times it feels like everything's coming undone and undone except (leaving) what I stand tall in ...

In my own evolution and also for many others, John is such an awesome help and I am grateful as ever to Know him and to learn from him.  I'm so looking forward to seeing him back at Oasis on Sunday ...

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti

The Goodness of John

John de Ruiter
I sat in the Chair on Sunday evening and got to meet with John in the Deep once again.  Oh it is so Good!  So good.  At the start there was the familiar weirdness of big heart thumping and the pulsing of my whole body and something like gently spinning into another zone, with the accompanying increase of electromagnetic sensations ... but I barely noticed any of that so instantly did I jump into being/meeting with John on that most subtle and most real level ... What joy, what love, what ease, what freedom.  

I began speaking by commenting on something that the previous speaker had said concerning what we are to John - that the word that came into my mind was "response."  And recently, in the cafe, he had said to me that I am "a responder."  I went on to describe, as best I could, what it is that I see John is doing - which is nothing less than enabling the evolving of consciousness.  And how the newness of that means that "we don't Know until we go" and yet we Know (where and how to go) "because there is a flow" ... And of course the Knowing is of a deeper level than our accustomed small self, which doesn't Know until we can begin to inform it by being and perceiving from a deeper, truer place ...

I acknowledged John's ability in providing the space and enabling this evolving to occur and how he's been doing it for so many years and how he is really doing it - that the changes in me and in others in the past year are obvious.  And I said from what I know regarding other teachers who have been, or are, on this planet, that John is truly supreme.  That it is one thing to have an awakening to what one is, but to then truly bring that out through physical form, with all of its patterning, through this sea of distortion (of this world), through 'normal' thinking and feeling - how amazing that is.  And I thanked him for being here and for doing what he is doing.  It is so truly, deeply good.  And then I just poured out (silently) how much I love him.

I am still aglow from that meeting with John and I don't think that I will ever not be in awe of what he is and what he does, so seemingly effortlessly, so beautifully, so well ... 

He is away now, to Germany and to Israel and for information concerning these International events, please click here.

I've been told that the next dialogue with John shall occur upon his return (in a couple of weeks' time) - it's been too long between podcasts, so I'm looking forward to being able to upload another one soon.

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti

Knowing has to be Everything

Several years ago in Byron Bay, Australia, I remember speaking to John about Knowing. I recall saying to him, "hmm, Knowing has to be everything doesn't it?" and he nodded. I'm still integrating the truth of what it really means for Knowing to be everything. But I know what it means. It means not to get unnecessarily uptight about things. It means siding with Knowing in all situations, in all circumstances ... and in order to be able to do so I need to be sharp. Recently there were several days in a row where I was wonderfully sharp; allowing not a speck of negativity from dawn until dusk (and in between even!) And it was wonderful because, in being sharp, it was clear how difficulties arose; by believing and following a negative thought or reaction ... In being sharp, as soon as a whisp of negativity arose, I gave it nothing, zilch, zip, nada. And then beingness was all; Knowing was everything ... and it was easy. And it still is, I just fell off the knife edge for a while ... What preceded those days of being rooted in This was an increased willingness to be sharper in the meetings. And now once again, I'm back in the saddle, sword held high. And beingness, as I soften back into it, is there, like my dearest oldest most trusted and beloved friend.

At last night's meeting I was so aware of how John's ever more potent transmission filled the vast meeting hall. It was just thick, subtle, invisible, but so palpable and so strong and so richly good. And John's face in the meetings, his eyes, so pure, so kind of heart-breaking, like a silent distant call to come Home, to be Home. How can we not say Yes? Such a blessing to be in his divine presence ...

With luck there will be another chance to dialogue with John soon and ask him more questions which have been sent in. As always, if you have a question for John, please type it in the comments beneath this post.

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti

More Snippets from the Beyond

John de Ruiter - December 2012
Forgive me for the brevity of this week's Post, but life is uber busy right now and I've got to dash off to another meeting in a matter of minutes ... Alas, the end of the Winter Seminar draws near (yes, it's been amazing!) - and here are some recent snippets from John:

"The more you come into This, the further 
away you'll be taken  ...
further from anything that you're used to in your self..."

"Knowing,
having,
until
you're dead."

"You'll be freeing your self
of every servile and reactive weed in your self ...
A garden of being,
full of ability..."

"... being, in response to Knowing,
what your mind is not ..."

That's it for now ...

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti
