True Response

 "Response, within your self to what you Know,

draws your being into your self.

That makes your being the substance of your self.

It's the substance everyone is looking for

and tries to come to it 

by believing what it wants to be true 

and needs to be true -

creating a substance within the self that satisfies

only surface appetite.

It doesn't meet anything that is deeper in the self 

and it excludes the heart."

The above quote is from mid-way during the recent Summer Seminar where John was once again pointing out the value of responding to what we know the truth of in our heart and the foolishness of covering that up for a believed surface want or need.  And here's another great snippet from that same day:

"As soon as you, anywhere,

separate from what you do know

by believing what you don't know the truth of,

you are catapulted into the levels of your self

and barred from your own being..."

Barred from our own being!  Alas and alack!  And no wonder ... that nothing really works out when we put those bars in front of what we truly are, what we can have and be ...  Faulty wiring (a natural consequence of being born on this planet) doesn't help, but the application of John's teaching in daily life, truly does  :)

Dear ones, I have a nice surprise for you for next week.  No I can't say, it'd spoil the surprise, but let's just say it's more help to correct any residual faulty wiring still lingering in the system...  Meanwhile, as always, please type any question you may have for John in the form of a comment below, and thanks!

Until next time,

Love,

Shanti
