Not separating from Knowing

 

John is now in Australia about to give a Seminar in Byron Bay, which we get to see on the web (see last week's post for the link).  Before he left, however, he gave us some wonderful words of wisdom on Sunday during the evening meeting.  Here are some snippets:

 "The greatest value is you

being in response."

*

"Response puts you

into what you know.

    It bypasses any process."      

*

"Any separation from knowing

and you fall." 

*

"When you are oriented to the truth 

you will respond to direct knowledge.

Knowing that has 

no recognizable form around it."

*

"You move into it

and you move as it.

You won't be able to look behind you

to see how you've done.

To look behind you is to

separate from Knowing.

You be and do 

because you know.

Because you know

you don't need to check 

and you need no proof."

*

Oneness in form

without separating

because of the 

perceived attractiveness of pleasure

without separating 

because of any aversion to pain.

Without separating 

because of any perceived gain or loss." 

It's so easy to separate from knowing the truth within and just as easy to return to it ..

It will be a couple of weeks until I can upload my most recent dialogue with John, but as always, it's worth the wait! 

Until next time,

Love,

Going for Gold

John de Ruiter

It's great to have John home again in Edmonton and I enjoyed the meetings over the weekend.  I notice that when he's here, it's a stabilizing force for being and doing what I most deeply know the truth of.  And I love to see how steadfast John is both when he is so deep in the meetings and also even when he's more animated in the cafe; there is that constant loyalty to the truth and I love to see that.
Some golden snippets for you now, from Sunday's afternoon meeting when John was speaking of the goodness of moving the deeper levels in the body and of doing so regardless of one's physical condition:

 

 "The condition of your body and your health 

isn't to be a limitation to you

moving your deeper bodies.

In that, as awareness, you evolve."

*

"The greater difficulty offers deeper gold.

You digging into that redirects your nervous system

to deeper bodies than what the body of your self is.

As your nervous system is brought into deeper bodies

your nervous system changes.

The change in your nervous system

directly changes your self."

 *

"You have a body

because you are their deeper levels,

whether you've awakened to them or not.

After you have died

these deeper levels are not only 

levels of what you are

but they're levels of how you move

and you're able to come into them

in your body before you die.

It's what you're in this life for.

You don't need good health for that,

you need to be alive for that." 

*

"If you're connecting to them

 without any kind of result being a condition,

awareness evolves physically."

*

"The results are not what is first important to you,

you being the deeper levels in you

is what is of greatest importance to you,

then moving these levels into your body

through sickness and through health,

for better or for worse,

you are all in.

*

"When you are evolving as awareness while you live,

because you are being what you know the truth of,

despite any experience

and in the midst of every experience,

the difference that makes in your

evolution as awareness

in what you will be after you have died

is massive."   

Mmm, how good his words are, real food.

And people in Australia are no doubt gearing up for such sumptuousness from John when he visits Byron Bay at the end of this month - and for the first time the meetings will be available on the web.  For more information on that, please click here.

Many thanks to all those who have sent in questions for John for the upcoming dialogue.  As always, please type your question for him in the 'comments' below.

Until next time,

Love,

Welcoming John home

John de Ruiter

Ah yes, only two more sleeps and then Friday brings with it the chance to be with John again and attend the evening meeting at Oasis.  I am looking forward to it, for sure.  It has been good in some ways that he has been gone these past few weeks, in that it's been an opportunity to stand on my own two feet and to see exactly what my feet are actually standing in.  And yet, for all my independent inclinations, I would be among the first to acknowledge the real help that John provides when he's here.  It's clear not to be too dependent on him and his transmission and his wisdom; that we each need to play our part and to be and do what we most deeply know the truth of, but the help that John brings is so deeply good.  It is useful, beyond serving any purpose that pertains to what this world seems to be all about, but rather it serves what is all beyond this world, and yet is also for  this world, and beyond ...  Increasingly I love how the truth of John's teaching, applied, touches my heart so deeply and how intrinsic such heartfulness is to being Home and never leaving it.

So I welcome John home; I welcome what he brings to us and what he makes so available for us and I look forward to seeing what's new.

By the way, sorry this week's Post is a day late - couldn't be helped!  And there will be another dialogue with him soon - time to send in your last minute questions!

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti  

Feeding what's Deeper

 I had a wonderful opportunity the other evening and I'm glad to say I didn't miss it.  It came about due to a circumstance in which I was feeling such discomfort my first impulse was to escape but then I found a way to transform those feelings.  I used that difficult experience to remain true to what I Know; to what I value the most within, and gradually I felt my feet became more and more firmly rooted in that deeper Goodness.  Then I sort of internally took everything I was experiencing down and in to those deeper levels within me and it was like they hit some kind of golden pool.  It was quite something to discover and experience this real alchemy, for as those uncomfortable feelings touched upon that golden pool, they were instantly transformed and soon it was, all different.  I moved it all Deeper until that's all there was for me (and meanwhile the circumstance was exactly the same) and then the Love began to flow.  A kind of love that moves me in my heart like nothing else can, a free flow of real Love.  And then it was all pretty magical ...

Meanwhile globetrotting John will soon be in Cologne, Germany, for a four day retreat and if you'd like to know more about that just click here. 

And then I'm anticipating another dialogue with him when he returns from Germany so if you have a question or if there's something you'd like to hear John speak about, please send it in by posting it as a comment below - and thanks for your contribution!

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti
