Podcasts Old and New

Dear ones, I have some good news and some slightly less good news. The good news is that the new podcast is ready to upload!  But... there are some technical difficulties in doing so, and as such I cannot do it today - but I'm hoping to be able to do it tomorrow... And to tide you over, I thought I'd offer the link to enable you to review some of the older dialogues with John.  To listen to them, just click here.              

So I'm sorry the new one is still not up, but I am pretty sure I can upload it tomorrow, so tune back in for a mid-week post especially for that!

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti  

Honesty

 First up, apologies for this Post being a day late and also, concerning the latest podcast, unfortunately it is still in the works - but the plan is to have it ready by next Tuesday.

It's been a big week, following on the heels of a pretty big Seminar.  There is a lot about John's teaching that I truly love, especially when he speaks about the truth of what we know in our heart.  For me that is an on-going process of discernment and cutting edge honesty.  It's easy to overlook certain things in ourselves or in others because it's more convenient and comfortable that way.  And often, clear Seeing is painful and the follow-through can certainly be disruptive to those comforts.  But thankfully I do enjoy Seeing more than what I see and in that as the saying goes, the truth does indeed set you free, even if it appears to come at a cost.  Whatever you have to pay it's well worth the price.
 
I'm fairly certain next time you check in there will be the latest dialogue with John available for you to listen to - it's a good one, for sure.  And as always please type any question you have for John in the 'comments' below.

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti   

The Love Seminar

John de Ruiter

... mmm ... this deeply divine Autumn Seminar has been, to me, The Love Seminar ... From day one I felt what John was doing was on a whole other level from anything he's put out before.  And his teaching has been incredibly profound and so LOVEly ... 
Of course, here are some Golden Snippets, all from that magical Day one!

"As your self is purified your behaviour

is freed of gain and loss.

Freeing the continuity of meaning

into your behaviour..."

"When you remain in openness and softness of heart 

while your self is opening and softening, 

your behaviour opens and softens ...

Change becomes the continuity of meaning

in free flow."

"Awareness, one with Knowing, loves."

"Oneness relating is love."

"Love cannot comprehend fear."

"Love is the continuity of meaning moving."

JdR DAY 1 - 10 Oct 2013

My favourite moment thus far, was when he was speaking to a questioner about This, using the analogy water and of being in it in different ways such as diving or floating.  When the questioner asked him to say more about the water he simply said, " ...mmm ..." in a most inviting tone.

Similar to what he said about Love on day one of the Seminar, at a party on Sunday night, when asked what love is, John answered, "the movement of meaning."  Yes, we can each access such movement as we open and soften in our hearts, move more deeply within and let the love flow ... And then there's the love between two beings and two hearts ...  I loved John's words to the angelic couple in the Chair yesterday:

"Live finding each other in what you haven't found yet.

Seeing each other in a way that you haven't yet seen."*

  "You live on the cutting edge of coming together."

 *

"Two hearts in a state of flux to what's new."

  *

"Together unroll each other."

  *

"To meet is to be unrolled.

That kind of relationship is one of poetry."

JdR 14 Oct 2013

Looking at John during these meetings embodying his teaching and demonstrating it so clearly, is a real delight and a true gift.

Before I sign off, I've not forgotten about uploading the recent dialogue with him and there's a chance it'll be ready for next week's post - I'll do my best!

Until next time,

Love,

John the Vanguard

John de Ruiter in Nordegg, 2013

For sure John is leading in something entirely profound and on Friday I loved hearing him say:

"You know I am your

deepest cutting edge."

JdR 4 October 2013

Indeed he is and he was in fine form over the weekend.  Here are a few more favourite Golden snippets:

"Feed that undomesticated

depth of power..."

  JdR 4 October 2013

"This world isn't a manifestation of reality; 
it's a manifestation of the common level of belief, 

which moves it and sustains it,

protects it from change."

JdR 7 October 2013

"When you are in your heart

that touches someone else's heart."

JdR 7 October 2013

John's wisdom is definitely food for the soul, attested by my recent dialogue with him which I will be endeavouring to get in uploaded a.s.a.p. so you can hear him speaking about a range of subjects from subconscious beliefs to the different levels of sex... But for all John's super being ability to touch what is deeper in us with his words, it is tiny compared to being present with him in person, whether he speaks or not.  If you resonate with John's teaching and have a sincere desire for true awakening, but have yet to meet him in person, I encourage you to make it happen.  To meet such a true master is not an opportunity to be squandered.  Click here to check out John's schedule.  And don't forget the sure-to-be awesome Autumn Seminar begins this Thursday... see you there?

Until next time,

Love,

Live, Love and Laugh ...

There's been a lot distracting me this past week from what, under such circumstances, is tiny.  And yet I love that tiny the most ...

Not all of the distractions have been difficult however, some have been quite fun.  Like planning costumes for myself and others for New Year's Eve ... And that's really fine, I don't need to heap more pressure on myself with a no-fun  rule ...  

In fact one of the good things coming out of the pressure is that I'm clear not to make things worse.  In that, the basics always work; to soften and relax inside, but wonderfully I've also tapped into a stream of real lightheartedness. At times, to be able to laugh is as good as the quieter more serious-looking goodness of the Deep -  they're both a God-send.

Perhaps it's all that light blazing from John in the meetings which has me lightening up..?  By the way, my dialogue with him got postponed and is now scheduled for the end of this  week - and many thanks to all those who sent in questions!

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti
