Oh my Goodness

What a week!  Full of surprises and Goodness ...  Seeing John back at Oasis was divine - and what a surprise - he's shaved his beard!  And he was shinier with more Goodness than ever.  Then another surprise was in store during Friday's meeting with an invitation from John for anyone with a deep Knowing to speak ... to speak.  We accepted this invitation and the audio crew scrambled to pass mikes around as people spoke to John from wherever they sat (or stood).  It was refreshing, exciting  and enlivening. 

 Although subsequent meetings on Sunday saw a more familiar format with the questioner sitting in The Chair, my sense is that now there is a format-in-flux ... and part of it is to bring about a Real Oneness as we all learn to discern when and what to speak of from what is deeper, whether in The Chair, or anywhere.
I'm happy to report that there was another dialogue session with John this afternoon and we can all look forward to hearing a new Podcast soon.  It will take a couple of weeks and then as soon as I can I will be uploading it.

And this long weekend is the much looked-forward-to Nordegg camping retreat.  
We will get to be with John in the mountains!  Well, bordering them - the Rockies - Yes!

I see John now as being even more of a force.  In the meetings his transmission is so powerful and so pure.  And when I am with him outside of that context he is so full of goodness and dearness.

To finish, here is a taste from Sunday's meeting concerning Real talking:
 

 "When you speak as a person, mark your words

and you'll know what you have just built in your self 

for better or worse.

When you speak be aware of what you've just spoken

realizing that you have just built something

and was it worthy of being built?"

The good, the bad, the ugly - and the Truly Good

It's been an eventful week whereby I've been faced with the good the bad and the downright ugly!

I notice that when it's good there's the potential pitfall of falling back into small self mode ... until the wheel turns and it's kinda bad, and then I Know to go to my Deeper Beingness ... But when it's ugly, aligning with my gentled happy beingness isn't yet always quite so easy - and that's when it's useful to utilize
my connection to John.  

John de Ruiter

I connect to what he is, to what he's coming from -  and it's like a bridge of Love -  to what is   
truly good. 

Whether it's a mild, moody kind of difficulty or an intense negative reaction, it is clear that all difficulty is when I am believing - and thus empowering - a distortion that is of my small self.  And I can be other than that small self.

On Friday I will be seeing John in person once again as the summer break comes to an end and the meetings at Oasis resume.  I am so looking forward to seeing him and attending the meeting - and also to seeing where he takes Us next ... Meanwhile, please type any question you have for John in the 'comment's below, as always.

Until next time,
Love,

Togetherness

First up, thanks for all the great questions which have recently been sent in for John - you can view the comments and questions by scrolling to the end of the weekly Posts and clicking on the ‘comments’.

 Some of the highlights of my week:   Enjoying an outdoor fire and BBQ gathering and staying up late enough to watch the stars blink on one by one…  Making time to connect with others in a deep and heartfelt way…  Having a sweet breakfast and more deep and meaningful conversations with my housemate…  Canoeing on the river with a friend (and rescuing a gorgeous huge turquoise dragonfly which needed assistance)…  And talking on the phone to an old friend of mine who lives on the other side of the planet.

When I thought over the week, it was my interactions and connections with others that stood out the most.  And I can see that it is so good and helpful to Be with others now - more than ever before.  It's where there is new learning and experience; to come from what is deeper and truer in me and to see what is deeper and truer in them - it really happens at the same time...

The meetings at Oasis resume next week - hooray! - on Friday 24 August.  If you're not in Edmonton and you'd like to check out John's schedule for the rest of the year you can do so by clicking here - where you'll find details of International Seminars to be held in the Netherlands, Germany and Israel in the coming months - as well as information on the Autumn and Winter Seminars here in Edmonton. 

As always, please type any questions you may have for John in the 'comments' beneath this latest Post, (another interview will be happening soon).

Until next time,

Love,

Sweet Support

Ahh, only two weeks and three days until the next meeting with John here in Edmonton (not that I'm counting the days or anything).  But yes, having felt the need for a break in order to integrate after the Summer Seminar, I am now quite ready for more ...

This past weekend I was lucky enough to spend some quality times with friends and there were some lively conversations about our experiences of the Seminar and our understanding of what is occurring in Us and of what is to come...  As our conversations ensued and our hearts connected, more than just words were flowing between us and it was really helpful in terms of Being and coming from what I Know is true.  There was real sincerity in our discussions, which were also peppered with delightfully sweet humour, a quality which we all agreed we loved seeing in John too. And there were some lovely oneness moments; true connection, and it was so easy and enjoyable and supportive.  And kind of natural ...

I am happy to report that another Q and A with John will be happening very soon and that you still have time to send in your question should you wish to be in the running to have him answer it. The recorded dialogue will then be uploaded in the next Podcast. Simply type your question for John in the 'comments' beneath this Post.

Until next time,
Love
