Winter Wonder Reset

His transmission is as fine & pure as the most pristine snowflakes ...

Wow - what a wonderful start to this year's Winter Seminar here with John!  Within moments of him sitting in his chair on stage, his transmission began to fill the entire room so powerfully, that even though I was sitting in the last row at the very back, I could still feel it so strongly and so wonderfully ... 

With no time to get Blogaliscious on Tuesday, this week's Post comes to you a few days early with Day One of this seminar already providing some super snippets for you.  This first snippet comes part way through the very first meeting yesterday afternoon where John answered the question, "What do you mean by 'life'?":

"The energy of form,

the being-energy of form;

the energy of consciousness."

A little later on, the questioner was speaking of feeling the need to somehow create his future and wondering whether that had to do with relaxing into what was next in his life, to which John responded:

"You are the essence of that relaxation

when you particularize Knowing

with the use of your being

instead of with the use of your self."

John then spoke of doing that when everything on the surface in life is "in service to what you Know but cannot see," and when the questioner asked what that looks like, he answered softly:

"It doesn't 'look like.'

It has to do with what you Know

but cannot see."

The questioner went on to ask how to know when such doing would be enough, and John said:

 "When you are staid in what 

you Know but cannot see 

in the midst of all that you can see."

Later, that same powerful first meeting, I loved hearing John speak of how the events of life belong to one's being and when the questioner asked how to come from his being, John replied:

"By you being a continuum

that isn't based on forms

as you see them."

And the last snippet for you today comes from yesterday's evening meeting:

"Your being doesn't have likes and dislikes;

it can't relate to them.

Whatever environment or circumstance

that you put your being in,

when your being moves, you love." 

Dear ones, you can perhaps tell that the start of this seminar portends an entirely magical and super good Winter Wonder Reset.  If you cannot be here, I'm sure you'll be able to purchase some CDs (and maybe some podcasts & VODs) from the John de Ruiter website's online store later on.  

And of course, you always have what you Know  to relate to ... to love ... to belong to ...

Until next time,

Love,

Shanti 

Winter Dialogue with John

John de Ruiter

Yay!  Today I do indeed get to upload another new Podcast, from a dialogue which got recorded in November.  There is really so much in this particular dialogue, that I hardly know what to say about it.  Yet although many juicy things get discussed - including the soul and how it links to what we Know - there's a lot of emphasis on what is most important for us as awareness to be attuning to, and about not fooling oneself ...

Being Still of Doing

John de Ruiter

Last night's meeting was enjoyable in multiple ways and I loved hearing everything John spoke.  Here's some snippets, starting with John's response, part way through the meeting, to the question, "Can you tell me what love is?":

"Openness of heart without an object.

Softness of heart without a reason.

Put love in pain and it thrives.

Put love in a corrupted past and it thrives.

Love won't reference what it is put in.

Love is free of everything,

enabling it to be in everything."

*

"You are not a 'who.'

At your very core

(you are) Meaning,

and when that moves, Love.

When Meaning moves, it's Love."

*

"When Meaning moves

the scale of doing doesn't move.

Doing to be

has no real existence."

*

"When you are still of doing;

when you're not doing to be,

you are

Love.

Love is unaccomplished.

It isn't able to relate to accomplishing.

What you are isn't able to relate to accomplishment.

It isn't able to accomplish freedom.

It can't even relate to freedom.

It's the essence of it

without the point of it."

Best of all, as usual, was John's lovely transmission throughout, which I loved bathing in and imbibing, as well as just looking at his beautiful stillness and ITness ...  And I do have to mention something pretty humorous which occurred near the start of the meeting last night.  The questioner was having a hard time understanding "what's going on here" and at one point, in describing what he sometimes sees happening to a person in the Chair, he was wondering whether John maybe had a little button under his foot (in the floor) which he sometimes pressed, so that the person in the Chair then "got electrified" (there were quite a few giggles from the audience as he spoke such things).  To my great delight, as soon as he said that, John raised his right foot a few inches and purposefully pressed it back to the floor, in perfect imitation of depressing a little button!  What a beautiful mix of deep beingness, deep restedness, unconditional Love and sprinkling of twinkly humour ...

And I can almost promise (I'm pretty sure) that next week I'll have a new podcast to upload! 

Meanwhile, the Blog door is wide open once more to receive your contributions.  Simply type any question you may have for John, in the form of a comment below, thank you.

Until next time,

Love,

Pure John

John de Ruiter

I've just come away from recording another dialogue with John - yes now there are two recent dialogues in the works to look forward to! - and it was, as always, divine and other-worldly to be with him ...  At times all there was in that room was, pure John.

Now back home and glancing through my little meeting notebook, I found some sweet snippets for you from the meeting on Monday 24 November:

"Your self doesn't need to die

for you to be meaning.

Your dependency on your self for meaning

needs to pass away."

*

"Meaning is what you really are.

You are that before you have a self  

and you don't need a self for you to be that."

And a little from yesterday's afternoon meeting, when John took the questioner deeper within, and then they asked him, "Where are we?"  To which he replied:

"In a better place

than what you're used to."

Then they asked him, "Can I do something more?" and he said,

"No, I am."   

 

And a few minutes deeper/later, he said:

"The more I do in This,

the more you Know in This."  

Yes, dear John, he does so much, so smoothly and so subtly, so powerfully and so wonderfully!

And dear Ones, do you realize that the wondrous Winter Seminar is only two and a half week's away?!  Click here for more information on attending this not-to-be-misseed event!  And apologies for this Post being a day early; I've no time to do it tomorrow!

Until next time,

Be One with What You Know

John de Ruiter

A couple of weeks ago in Hamburg, John spoke about how the ability to function normally in physical reality is the same ability "to be One...":

"Awareness in response to Knowing,

within unseen reality;

within non-physical reality,

isn't more difficult in the unseen

than in the seen.

It isn't more difficult

in what is completely not physical,

than it is in the physical.

What makes it work in the physical 

is your response to Knowing.

It's the same 

and it's only the same,

that works in the unseen."

*

"You adhere to Knowing

within physical reality

because the consequence of not,

is physical.

The Truth within is so easily taken for granted

because the consequence of not 

isn't physical.

We are multi-levelled awareness,

able to be one with what we Know

in physical reality,

while at the same time,

separate from what we Know 

in unseen reality.

The consequence of that,

though not physical,

is dire.

The dire consequence

is that you are then existing in physical reality 

not being Oneness." 

The above snippet is from the same meeting I recommended two weeks' ago, from the evening meeting on 14 November.  Since his return, John has been providing us Edmontonians with a very strong and exquisite transmission during the meetings, strengthening my ability to live what I love the most, in my daily living.  It's like I'm swimming against the tide of what this world is all about as I fall deeper and deeper in love with those unseen deeper currents...

The recent dialogue with John is in the works and with luck I'll be uploading it soon, meanwhile there is another one scheduled for Monday next week.  If you'd like to send in any questions for that, please do so by clicking on the 'comments' below.  And a little reminder, to please keep your questions fairly concise, thank you!

Until next time,

Gifts from the Edge of the Universe

 
See that little speck right in the middle?  That was me on Friday night, when I went to the Chair and John took me so far out that it felt like we were at the edge of the universe.  It was all pretty "Wow" and thus difficult to speak about.  Most lovely is how the resonance of it still has my heart.  It was there, at the 'edge of the universe' that I met (what I spoke of as) "The Ancient Ones" and received from them, so to speak, such Knowledge, the understanding of which is impossible to understand mentally or adequately describe.  I felt so known and so loved and I feel irrevocably and wonderfully changed by my encounter.  I simply Know more now and the integrating of such a powerful download will continue to work its magic in me as I continue to respond to even the tiniest resonance of it, for it is so subtle a Knowing to relate to.   What marvelousness, what magic.  And, as John made so beautifully clear earlier that day during our dialogue (which I'll be uploading in the coming weeks), it's good to remember that it's not about having powerful experiences, but rather to simply come from what we know the truth of in our heart in our daily living.  A real truth orientation is all about having a clean heart and the divine nourishment I received in the Chair on Friday night will certainly help with that.

It's my birthday today, and those 'Ancient Ones' certainly gave me the most exquisite gifts - thank you John!

Ok, not super profound, but so cute!

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti 
 

Complete surrender ...

Watch your step!

"Any part of you,

that isn't surrendered to what you Know,

will be gone after you've died and,

while you live,

whatever part isn't surrendered,

doesn't help you live.

It introduces only an illusory complication.

Any way that you try to deal with it

fuels the illusion.

All of the energy in that -

all of the energy that is used in that -

belongs to Oneness

moving in form."

The above snippet is from the second meeting John gave in Hamburg last Friday, in which he spoke so gloriously about awareness returning completely  to what it Knows.  Here's some more from that same talk:

"With as little as one percent

not completely given over to what you Know,

you are 

not One.

The difference that 

that one percent makes is enormous.

It accomplishes a self-created trip hazard.

It's like a little half-inch difference in the floor;

you'll catch it every time.

And, as awareness, you're genius enough,

to be able to move  that half-inch difference,

wherever you need it most.

As soon as you are really  on to what you Know,

you get that half-inch little difference in your floor,

to come up and save you from being

completely absorbed in what you Know.

It'll keep you from being
gone."

I highly recommend watching the entire meeting, available online as a VOD, simply click right here and then click on the meeting titled 'Your First and Only True Love - November 14, 2014 Eve'.

When I participate (even via the Internet) in such a profound meeting with John, I am even more inspired to step into It and never to step out again.  And I love knowing that any time when I may still trip and fall (on that half-inch raised floorboard) I Know to simply instantly get straight back up - because it's True; it's only True; it's all that's True.  In a world infused with so much untruth,  John de Ruiter is quite simply the quintessential God-send  in my opinion.

Before I sign off today, a reminder to send in any last minute questions for my forthcoming dialogue with him which is scheduled for the end of this week - you know what to do!

Until next time,

Love,

Happy Birthday Dear John

A matrix birthday cake!

There is no cake 

that I could bake 

that could speak of my love for you ... 

 Yes it is our beloved John's birthday today, and as he wings his way to Germany about to give a seminar in Hamburg, I am missing him already.  I've not given him a birthday present because, well, what do you give someone who is everything?   

But here are a couple of my favourite Rumi quotes: 

"Two, there are 

who are never satisfied -

the lover of this world

and the lover of knowledge."

*

"Come out of the circle of time

And into the circle of love." 

 And speaking of love, it was a most beautiful meeting on Sunday evening with our dear Dana in the Chair, (she has been with John for many years).  The love between them was palpable as John spoke,

 "Two ducks

seemingly incompatible and

 completely in love with each other."

Which brings me to my third and final Rumi quote for today:

"Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, and absent-minded."

 My beloved John, I wish you a most beautiful birthday from all of us who love you so.  

I am so very glad that you are on this planet!   

Before I sign off, the dialogue didn't actually happen yet as it's been postponed for a couple of weeks - so you still have time to send in any questions for that one.

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti  

Entering the Portal

"Response is your entrance" - JdR

 

 

Mmm yes, more lovely meetings here with John over the weekend as he took some of the questioners undoubtedly Beyond ..  In that, he is for sure a Portal  and a pretty powerful one ..  On Sunday, when the questioner asked how to go further into This, John replied:

  "Without needing to see and understand.

You enter that which is not at all like your self

because you Know."

He went on to speak about how, through response  we can begin to embody the deeper levels within:

"You have a body,

enabling you to embody  anything

you've awakened to.

Anything that you know is true."

I loved hearing him speak then of the Beyond:

"I come to you from what is Beyond.

Within what I bring, we meet,

and by that, you Know."    

*

"You're not able, on your own, to access the Beyond.

But when the Beyond accesses you,

you know the truth of it and by that,

you're able to enter it.

When it enters you,

you awaken and you Know.

When you  enter it,

you change."

*

"It's you entering all you Know.

You enter because you Know.

You enter as  you Know.

Enter because you Know,

without any need to understand.

Upon your return,

you'll understand a little bit more.

Understanding doesn't help you to enter.

Your response is your entrance."

Yes I loved hearing him make it so beautifully clear, that the way forward is all about direct response to what is Known but not first understood.

 

And the meeting last night was also pretty great, with John's transmission towards the end becoming very strong, enabling many of us to enter  and go deeper ..  I love to see what I see in John as he sits there on the stage exemplifying what is beyond what this world is all about.  As I go deeper and feel the changes in my body, it's like I'm not only seeing him through my eyes, but I'm reading  him with my whole body.  Last night, towards the end of the meeting, I was enjoying such deeper seeing and I loved seeing how deeply at rest he was as awareness within his form; such an incredible and beautiful stillness ..

Dear ones, I'm anticipating another dialogue with John at the end of the week - so be quick to send in any last minute questions for that one.  As always, simply type it as a 'comment' below - and thanks for your contribution!

Until next time,

Love,
