"When you, awareness, is relaxed within your self,
your self will have no spin.
It is simply as it is- available - for you to be in.
To be openness and softness of heart in.
Your self, spun, is unteachable.
Your self, without a spin, is malleable.
It will move and change,
to match what you're being in it.
The scope of your experience
isn't then determined by what self you have,
it is determined by your heart.
The scope of your experience
is determined most by purity of heart.
A heart unmixed,
a heart available for your being,
a self available for your heart.
Purity of heart removes the confines of experience.
Without any beliefs experience is pure."
John went on to speak then about how, without beliefs, your self can move outwardly in the direction that you're coming from, enabling you, through your self, to be seen. He said, "Beliefs in your self introduce constraints of want and need. Beliefs cripple your self." Yes, and I'm seeing how, in me, there have been some subconscious beliefs which, because I have never deeply looked into them, have been boundaries and filters to my own deeper beingness. Beliefs which stopped my being from being able to have that pure space in my self ... all because of subconsciously believing it needed to be that way. Those beliefs never really served me - or anyone else for that matter! I feel touched within to be able to see all this, in form, and not after I've died, so that I can take steps to make amends, to not have those crippling beliefs any more. Facing such boundaries within and seeing them for what they truly are is not pleasant but it is so deeply good!

Dear John, I have a question about the subtlety of relating to deeper levels and how that makes definite changes to one's self and to one's life. How does this work in daily life? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDear John,
ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean to be "meaning"? You have said that it is what informs someone about what is real within any experience and also that then you can be "meaning creating". Does this have to do with why sometimes you do not reply to someone's question but remain silent? How does meaning create?
The tiny little acts in a day which lack presence - do they hold the same weight in our integration as the more obvious acts of either holding or opening? Things like culturally conventional greetings offered without genuine warmth, or the unconscious energy with which we push the buttons on a phone, etc. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDear John,
ReplyDeleteI have been pondering in my heart what the difference is between meeting someone, communing and merging. To me it seems like there are different levels to each the deeper you go and stay pure in your heart with no filters or bounderies and being present more substance happens, I would love to know about merging with another, could you explain please.
