Free & Independent

Beautiful Byron Bay

Like many others, I greatly enjoyed watching some of the broadcasts from Byron Bay.  Most notably the first one in which John was in top form, giving a mega teaching and really spelling it out.  Here are some snippets where he is speaking of not having any other beliefs; being a level within that is free and independent of all that:

"You are nothing but that.

You are that 

tiny little bit within

that you came to realize was everything.

It precedes all adornments,

it precedes all experience 

and has need of nothing."

*

"There is no core need because

what you first are is complete

and has need of nothing

and it responds."   

 *

"As what you first are moves,

in the context of form,

you have real reflection of what you are,

what you are being and

what you are doing.

The movement in form enables you

to comprehend what you are.

The further you move out into form

the more that you comprehend, in detail,

all of the meaning of what you really are."

*

"To leave what you first are

for an experience and a form

is for you, as awareness,

to be separate.

Having more density, 

more substance,

increasingly more and more forms,

while fundamentally, at the core,

being in lack,

because of not being that

tiny little bit

that is already everything

and has need of nothing."

Mmmm, already everything ...

Concerning the recent dialogue with John, it is in the works and with luck, might possibly be ready to upload for next  week's post.

To give you a taste of that new podcast to come, here's some excerpts where John's answering a question about why people have "different faces and different stories":

"People have different faces because there’s a different application of themselves within various social circumstances.  When there’s a need to cope and survive, what people invariably do is put on the aspect of themselves or the side of themselves that best serves coping and surviving."

 

"When one is in the heart and true to what you know in the heart, there isn’t going to be a siding with coping and surviving in the self.  The loyalty is to being in your heart and being what you know in your heart.  Then being in various social circumstances is going to bring up vulnerability because there will be the experience of lack within the self within various circumstances. So instead of putting on a face to cope and survive, the heart is seen.  And the lack within the self is also seen."

"If you’re not being more loyal to your heart than to your self, then you’ll be loyal to your stories because that’s all you have."

More of that soon!  And finally, the Blog door is once again wide open to receive your questions for John, simply type it as a 'comment' below, as always - and thanks!

Until next time,

Love,
