I love seeing how much John embodies the truth he speaks and it was good on the weekend to tune in to some of the live broadcasts from Israel. Here's a few snippets for you, from Saturday's open mic gathering (10am Alberta time), when the questioner was asking John about being complete:
"If you look for something
in your self or in your life
you separate from what you really are."
He went on to elaborate that, from the perspective of the self, it seems like nothing, but it's as simple as relaxing into what you know in your heart, where nothing needs to change for you to be what is already complete - and where
"The more you unconditionally relax
the more you Have."
Later John spoke of the numerous times throughout the day when we are naturally a little bit like our own Being, but how we tend to take those moments for granted, such as when the sun first hits our body when we walk outside, or when we stand under a hot shower, and even when we eat food or drink something. He likened those pleasurable experiences in the body as being something like, "Mmm." As we begin to notice such moments with greater awareness, we can see how they do indeed point to something deeper that we Know is occurring within and we can begin to see that we can have that kind of response, without those outside triggers:
"All it is,
is you being in your heart.
The quieter the 'Mmm' is,
the more powerful it is."
Mmm... yes! And the greater the pressure, the more we need to relax into what is so ok within; into that tiny little bit we Know the truth of in our heart - in a sense, it's moving in the opposite direction to the pressure. That's what life's all about if you're an advocate of the Truth and John's teaching - it's the only way home - to relax, to open and soften, to be in that most tiny, most quiet, so lovely Mmm... All unseen, so known, and so other than this world...
Until next time,
Love,
Shanti
