Genuinely Happy ...

Mmm - go to your truly happy place within!
 
"What you know in your heart
is to open and soften 
and you're not genuinely happy
without opening and softening in your heart.
John de Ruiter - 6/6/14 
 
The above snippet is from the very first meeting of the recent seminar in Dorset, UK, where John really spelled it out once again regarding the importance of awareness opening and softening.  From that same talk, here's a little more:
 
"There isn't anything that stops you
as awareness
from opening and softening."
*
"Because you're in a body
anything that you believe
becomes physical."
*
"When you access
anything of your own being
you're accessing forms of you.
Forms that perfectly match you.
So when you move as them,
as awareness,
you move as pure form."
 
John then spoke of not believing anything that requires you as awareness to unrelax.  That anything which requires you as awareness to close and harden isn't worth it, because then you "compromise what is pure you."  It doesn't mater how real it seems ...  I loved hearing him say that closing and hardening is awareness distorting itself - it's simply not real.  And that pain in your self is an imposition in your heart, but when you remain open and soft in the midst of such an experience, then the pain doesn't stop you from being "pure you ..."  
 
"In the belief 
of what you experience in your self
you fool your self;
you teach your self
that your self is you.
Your own being isn't even you.
Your own being is a perfect form of you."
 
Seems like the participants enjoyed a pretty wonderful Seminar last weekend and it was good to be able to watch several of those meetings via live stream on the web.  And now I'm looking forward to seeing John back at Oasis this Friday - and of course the awesome Summer Seminar begins in under two weeks'  time!  For more information on that, just click here.
 
My recent dialogue with John is almost ready to upload  and I'm hoping to do a special mid-week post when it's done.  And my next dialogue with him is happening next week - so feel free to send in any last minute questions for that!
 
Until next time,
Love,
Shanti

    (for John) You are always teaching the same thing year after year after year for such a long time and I am so grateful for that. It is beyond patience - what is it? can you speak about that and how long you have been teaching what you teach.

    Dear john
    How and where do I draw the line in myself for no longer allowing unhealthy behaviors like aggression ? It's not ok for these sharp reactions to continue if they hurt others. Please can you help me draw a line somehow ,with a soft open heart.
    Thank you

    Hi John,
    What is the most true and deepest meaning for two people to enter into marriage?
