Happy Holidays & Having More ...

Happy Holidays!

Goodness me, I have been having such a jolly time, I almost forgot what day of the week it is! (aside from Xmas Day) - I hope you are all enjoying a  joyous festive season this year and my wish for us all is to keep Having More... I am referring to John's meaning (as I understand it) of that term as meaning to Have More of that nectar-ful subtle Goodness, the entrance to which we can find by gently softening within and finding the tiny golden door to what we know the truth of in our hearts... Yes, Having More of that subtle loveliness feels ever more inviting once I quiet myself and align with what is finer and ever-present ... 

Incredibly, the Winter Seminar starts the day after next! - on Thursday 27 December - and ends on Wednesday 9 January 2013.  It's come around so fast that I haven't had time to ponder what may be in store for us during this special time with John.  Although I do have a sense that it will bring an opportunity to Deepen in what we Know like never before. These days John feels so intensely beyond that I feel a bit like a speck of stardust on the coattails of a light-speeding comet... 

 But paradoxically, rather than hanging on, I fly better when I fall most completely into what is most effortless ... and my love for John - for what he brings and for where he takes me - means I'm all in...

Until next time,
Love,

The Evolution of Consciousness

Yesterday John sat at my table and it was so good to be in close proximity to him. It's like my cells start drinking, deeply ...

John spoke a little about dying, and in that, what I got from it was the opportunity that life brings; the opportunity to evolve.  Instead of dressing up, maintaining and parading around as a self what are you doing that is truly meaningful?  
Are you evolving?

As you may be aware, this coming Friday the  
21st of December 2012, marks not only the Winter (or, if you're southside of the planet, the Summer) Solstice, but it is also the end of the Mayan long count calendar.  My understanding of that is that it is a major turning point and marks the birth of a new higher consciousness on this planet...  
A big change is coming ...  
My sense of it for some time now is of a veritable shift to a higher frequency which this planet needs if we and it are to survive...

 Change must come and I feel that this Friday marks the point of no return; the tipping point, and if you've been feeling the pressure building up all year, hang on to your hats in terms of what's coming...  But really, leaving the jokey cliches aside for just a moment, if you know the difference between your accustomed small self and what is altogether different; a finer, much higher and lovelier order within, then you don't need to hang on to anything, you can, instead, soften in the midst of any sort of pressure and keep giving your allegiance to what it is now time to let be sovereign in your daily life.  

I don't get the feeling that this massive transformation of life on Earth is going to be pretty.  But what it can be is... so good, so healing and so cosmically profound.  What a time to be alive!!  In facing these challenges which lie ahead I am so grateful to have John de Ruiter to continue to guide us...  Sitting with him and opening to his transmission is such a help with the realignment of everything within.

Disappointingly the next dialogue with John has been postponed until after the forthcoming Winter Seminar - but it does give you more time to send in a question for him if you would like to do so, (simply post it in the form of a 'comment' below).

Blessings be to all this coming solstice and beyond, may we choose wisely.  Let's allow the old to die, it's never worked for us in over a thousand years (at the very least!) and may the openness and softness of dear beingness resume it's rightful place in us.  And from there, we can continue to move ever finer by the tiny little bit we Know the truth of in our heart.

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti  

Tardiness, time and temptation ...

Dear ones, I am sorry for the tardiness of this week's Post - oops, a day late!  
What can I say... time flies and life's been busy!

Before I forget, I want to mention that the wondrous Winter Seminar starts in a few short weeks!  It begins on 27 December and ends on 9 January and if you are tempted to attend all or part of it, do not hesitate!  For more information, please click here.

I have been enjoying some merging of my nights with my days for some months now, so that for some portion of the night - where clearly sleep is not an option - I deeply relax and do some exploring awareness meditations instead... This is often interesting both from an experiential point of view and also in the sense that a deeper learning is occurring...  So that now in my daily living, my subconscious is (finally!) getting the message (or messages) and I find that I am more relaxed and more able to hang out in what I Know and love the most as opposed to giving in to those ancient patterns of closing, getting uptight, worrying etc.  And I am also disinclined to being affected by others patterns.  This makes me altogether more available for what is more valuable ...

My next dialogue with John will be happening soon - and you still have time to send in a question!

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti 

Sailing Alone in my Room

I have this thing about wanting to be completely Home as quickly as possible and it is both something I love in me and also quite a cross to bear ...   But what I am beginning to understand is that, in spite of what I Know the truth of in my heart, (to use John's terminology), these pesky patterns of belief/perception and associated thoughts/emotions have a certain momentum and won't just lay down and die just because I so want them to ...  And I'm also seeing more and more clearly that the Real difficulty is when I have difficulty with my difficulties!   You can see that these two are interrelated ...  Whatever is going on in me that I experience as unpleasant or tiresome, I can always soften ... 

So it's ok, I'm going Home; my sail is up and my course is set ...  there may be high winds and storms which toss me about but I'll hold firm to that rudder ...  sure enough the storms pass and the sun comes out and again I'm on calmer waters ... and sometimes it happens in a single moment - ah, that subtle shift!  The point is that I am absolutely going to keep going no matter what ...  Those who resonate with what I say are, like me, living a relatively mundane life full of ups and downs on the surface, but on a deeper level, we are light warriors constantly stepping forward, stepping up, going beyond; transforming, transforming, transforming ...  aligning with the Highest Good ...  
And I wish you well my fellow travellers, you are not alone!

As always, please type any question you may have for John in the comments below this Post.  He is back from Israel now and with luck I'll be recording a new dialogue with him soon ...

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti
