Transcending the familiar


There is a conspiracy, a lie that pervades this planet like a covering; a matrix designed to keep us out of the Love that we are and to be instead something so small and confined; in a prison so pervasive and familiar, that most people are completely ignorant of their enslavement.  In becoming free of that covering, I see that this world is actually geared to prevent such opening Beyond.  It's like I heard John speak of once, that becoming as our own Being is, here on this planet and in a world like this one, is "against all odds, basically."  That may be so, but what marvellous help it is to be around John - one who has sustained and built such a solid embodiment of true Beingness that just being close to him can change your perception; can open you - making it so much easier to be in Loveland ...  Alas, he is off again, this time to the UK and then on to Israel.  To check John's schedule, and to find out more concerning his overseas seminars, please click here. 

 

During Friday's meeting, John invited the questioner deeper, saying, "Transcend familiarity - and come in."  Yes, the familiar here is the old matrix; the box; the prison that our awareness has become caged within ... until of course we find our way out.  And I am reminded now of a quote attributed to the fabulous Rumi, that: "a secret freedom opens through a crevice you can barely see." 

 

During Sunday's evening meeting, John sweetly and repeatedly pointed out the importance of integrating the basics.  He said, "If you're not integrating basic Knowledge you can't shift into what is everything in a moment."  He explained that "if you don't live opening and softening in your heart" then it isn't possible for something greater to open; "it won't stay."  That without such basic beingness coming into place, "there isn't anything deeper or higher that can be built."  When the questioner continued asking questions about higher beings and where they were, John said, "They're all having cosmic cappuccinos waiting for you to live out the basics." 

 

Ok - the podcast!  I can now promise that the latest dialogue I recorded with John last month will finally be ready to upload as a new podcast in the next day or two - and I'll be doing a special Post for that.

 

Until next time,

Love,

Real Change

During Sunday afternoon's meeting John said, 

"When your self changes because of a door that's opened in you, that door won't easily close."  

 To me, such a statement epitomizes some quintessential truth that I have only ever found in John's teaching - which concerns making 'spirituality' practical and real, and more ...  It's about not compartmentalizing what we know the truth of in our heart, not keeping our deeper resources - such as opening and softening and moving in our deeper levels within - for only the difficult times of life, but through continual response to such deeper Knowing within, actually manifesting all that lovely deeper True YOUness right up into the vehicle of one's self.  Without bringing such deeper realization into one's self and one's life (in every way), the self remains unnecessarily small and confined to conditioned (and predominantly illusory) beliefs and reactions - and most people still live that way on this planet, until they die.  To never know the truth of what we really are, whilst being alive and in form, is the loss of all losses!   And then, to bring that knowledge into one's self and into one's life is the only true giving ...

Dear ones, alas no new podcast today - what to say - it's out of my hands!  But soon, very soon ... perhaps there'll be a special mid-week podcast post!

Until next time,
Love,

More Right-side Up-ness

You would think that by now I'd be used to the coming and going of John with regards to his overseas seminar trips.  But I am always surprised and amazed by what occurs in me when he returns from such a trip and I am in his presence once again.  Always surprising!  As I spoke to him in the cafe the other day, it's like - in me doing what I can and 'going for it' I feel things are going pretty well - but then he's back and I feel like I've only been in the paddling pool and now - woah! here's the ocean!  And of course, I dive right in...  
In diving in to what John embodies, any concerns which have been taking up attention and energy on the surface and in one's self, soon wonderfully dissolve.  
As he spoke to me at that cafe table, he embodies my Being, and that's why there is such a natural response and deepening in me when I'm around him; the level he embodies is the level, in truth, I also belong to.  The depth of that response is always somehow unexpected and I'm always so very happy when he does return - and I realize, all over again, the value of being in his presence.  I love his Right-side Up-ness.  
Giving more form to our Being is what being here with him is all about ...  And then there is his transmission in the meetings to really take us deeper and deeper, fortifying that unseen frequency of deeper Beingness and Love within us.  He makes that Knowing, that frequency of deeper Beingness, so available.  Like Moses parting the waters, he makes that nectarful frequency so wide and available in the meetings.

Dear ones, the most recent dialogue with John in still in the works and I am hoping to be able to upload it very soon, I'm fairly sure it will be ready for next week's Post.  And I do not know when the next dialogue with John will occur, and that's why I've not been inviting you to send in your questions.  But if you're not in a great hurry, of course you can still send in your questions for him here, in the form of a comment, and you can also send in any comments and questions to me also - and the latter I can answer here on the Blog much more quickly.

Before I sign off, here's a few little Love Snippets of Truth from John, the first from Sunday's afternoon meeting, (about the importance of coming from what is deeper within than the accustomed and conditioned self):

"What you're moving as

matters a lot more than

what you're moving through."

And one from Sunday's evening meeting, (short but to the point): 

"As awareness relaxes,

   awareness returns to Love." 

Until next time,
Love,

Nuthouse or not, I Know What I am

In not choosing the sage in the cave option, I get the increasing feeling that I'm living in a nuthouse.  I guess that I did choose to incarnate here, and yes - thank goodness I found such an awesome teacher in John to assist me in how not to join them (any longer).  And yet, there are all sorts of new difficulties arising, the deeper I realize my true belonging, the more crazy living in this world at times looks and feels ... 

Being alone brings a breather for sure, as does watching John on YouTube.  And I do see that being what I truly belong to, in the midst of other people's weirdness and hardness and horribleness, does indeed strengthen my roots in This.  Really, I imagine I'll be getting unseen deeper roots as thick as tree trunks soon.  And that's the help, though it does not feel like help, and there's no pay-off for the accustomed self - all it gets is to make way and make way and make way for my Being.  Which can handle anything, so that's  a bonus!  A little bit of humour also does the trick in lightening the load on one's little self, when getting battered (when it least expects it) in the storms of other people's distortion!  Clarity; kindly telling my self it's really all right, also softens those blows, but at times I do have to put my (Being's) foot down and disallow any story-fuelled wallowing.  That creates the pressure, and in not relieving it  - even when I feel like the proverbial pressure cooker about to explode (or at least have a little cry) - in not doing so, there's only one thing left to do ..  and to be.. and that's, well, that's like my Being!  Sweetly rooted in the present moment, untouched, calm and so in love with what I Know is True - and that's got very little to do with being vastly outnumbered in a nuthouse (even when some of the inpatients have clearly forgotten to take their med's).  That's how it works, it can be tough at times but isn't that so for pretty much everyone on this planet right now (and for the past few thousand years at least)?  The difference is, in applying the true teaching of John de Ruiter - you get to use it all - especially the horrible times - to make your Being real in you, to be True .. and that's one helluva love affair ..

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti
