A different world ...

A time of change for Planet Earth ...
 Whilst John's been away in Israel, it's been great to keep in touch with him - and what he brings in - via the occasional VoD.  I really enjoyed watching Saturday afternoon's meeting (21 February), in which he was speaking about the Calling, and below are some snippets from that meeting:

"The Calling is of a deeper level
than any of your other levels."
*
"The levels of your expression open
and reveal the Calling in you."
*
"Your eyes change.
Your eyes will reveal 
that you Know something
that is beyond your self 
and beyond this world,
beyond your life.
Your eyes would reveal
that you Know and you've Seen."

John went on to speak about how, as the Calling becomes manifest in your eyes and face, it will make others uncomfortable - because they'll see something that they know is Beyond.  And that, through continued direct response to what is so foreign and yet so Known within - 
"It makes you no longer belong 
  to anything that you can see."  
*
"It is the promise that
this whole world, in time,
will be all different."

It was so lovely to see John's face and to hear him speaking of the Calling in this somewhat new way, giving the hint of a promise that it may yet transform this tired old world ...

 And I may well be recording another dialogue with John soon, so if you've got a question you'd like to contribute, please type it as a comment below, as usual - and thanks!

Until next time,
Love,

Seeing through the Firmament

"There is no pain
in realization and response." 

Thus spoke John during Sunday afternoon's meeting, which began with the questioner trying to find a "speck of Gold" within an experience of difficulty in the self, which she described as being something like a nightmare.  As John's transmission filled and altered the room, he skillfully directed her to find that inner speck of Gold and to go all into it:

"Your response 
to what you Know is Golden
means more to you than the nightmare -
stay there."  

He spoke then of not needing the noise (of the accustomed self) any more and in not needing it, no longer being distracted.  And as the questioner Responded and went deeper into the Gold, John made it beautifully clear what was occurring - the wonderful difference between the experience of the self and what we truly are, saying:

"It's You
and you know your way to You." 
*
"Opening is what you are.
What you are is what you live
and pain, somewhere, is what you have."

By the end of her time in the Chair it was clear that she had accomplished that most sublime of tasks - thanks to John being the amazing portal that he is - and gone beyond the firmament  so to speak; that which is considered normal reality but which is in fact a matrix, the illusion seeming so real (and often nightmarish) when all it is that we, as awareness, are perceiving is confined to programmed beliefs and reactions.  Which reminds me of something John said during Friday's evening meeting when he used the phrase, "unprogrammed response."

 Such a transformation there was during Sunday's afternoon meeting, from awareness believing and seeing only a self in pain and difficulty, to expanding completely beyond such confines into what Truly Is ...  Really lovely.

John is now in Israel about to give a five day retreat and for more information, viewing the live streamed meetings and watching VoD's, please click here.

Until next time,
Love,

Latest Dialogue Podcast

John in India - Feb. 2015
Before I give you the link to the latest dialogue podcast with John, I just want to mention how completely wonderful it is to have him back home with us.  He was away for two weekends, and as I said to him when he sat at my cafe table on Sunday, it's so good to have him back, that it was almost worth him going away ..  ;)
And his transmission seems even stronger, yet again, as we've been re-immersing ourselves in that ...

Now to get straight to the main event, so to speak, which is to give you the link so that you can listen to the latest recorded dialogue with John - to hear it, please click here.


And as always, please type any new questions for John as a comment below, thanks.

 Until next time,
Love,

Eliminate the Mystery

John de Ruiter






Today marks the last day of the seven day retreat in Tiru and I thought I'd offer up a few snippets from one of those meetings, on Friday morning (30 January), when John was speaking succinctly about the ego:

"The ego is a distortion of awareness,
moving within the self it has.
The ego is awareness investing importance in the self
in the thoughts and feelings
within the self and of the self.
If you move with self importance
you have an ego.
When you let go 
of your own self importance,
and you no longer do something 
out of self importance,
then your movement is real
and it's without ego.
The ego is not some mysterious thing."
*
"When you're genuine,
when you're sincere,
when there's depth to it,
it's done.
That's because you are actually in charge.
That which creates self importance
can, in an instant, drop it all.
Eliminate the mystery.
There's no mystery to integrity.
There's no mystery to Oneness."

Fantastic stuff!  And the broadcasts from Germany and from India have been great, but I have certainly missed being around John in person and am looking forward to seeing him back here at Oasis this Sunday.

Unfortunately I've not been able to upload the most recent dialogue as a podcast just yet - but I will be doing so just as soon as I can!  Meanwhile, if you'd like to contribute to the next dialogue, simply type your question in the form of a comment below, as usual.

Until next time,
