John is currently winging his way back from Chiemsee in Germany where he gave some fantastic meetings. Here are some snippets from the very first meeting on Friday afternoon:
"Your evolution as awareness
is what first enables your
development as a being."
*
"When you open and soften
without the benefit
of experiencing your own being,
there is an exquisite fineness of awareness,
and in that fineness,
awareness evolves."
The questioner then asked John whether being in response to a stream of beingness meant that awareness doesn't evolve, to which he responded:
"Awareness still evolves
but not as much as when you, as awareness,
are purely opening and softening
and you're able to be that
in the midst of responding to a stream of your own being."
*
"The depth of groundedness in you coming into your
own being and moving as a being,
is in you as awareness,
being meaning.
You can develop in parts of your being,
without you as awareness
being grounded in meaning.
You can't develop and come into
all of your being,
without you, as awareness,
being grounded in meaning.
When it is meaning that you are,
as awareness, while you're in your being,
any kind of pressure in your self doesn't
move you out of your being.
If your relationship with your self isn't clean,
then when you, as awareness,
open and soften in your heart,
that puts your self under pressure
because it exposes your way
of relating to your self -
a way of relating that isn't like your own being."
Yes, it was an awesome meeting and I love how John's teaching continually moves us ever gently forward. I've noticed too how different it is to watch a meeting live as opposed to watching a video-on-demand. The latter is good, and the benefit there is that you get to watch it whenever you want to, but watching a meeting live is simply more. There's way more connectivity to what's occurring, no matter how far geographically the distance, it's almost as good as being with John in person.
Dear ones, the recently recorded dialogue is still in the works, but maybe I'll have it up for you next week! Until then, as always, please type any question you may have for John in the 'comments' below - thank you.
Until next time,
Love,
