The Frustration Invitation

Like most people I find myself pretty busy these days, even whilst on school summer holidays from Knowledge College.  And I love how such busyness affords multi-levelled opportunities for stepping up - in all the ways that we Know the truth of.   That can be very practical, such as eating food according to what would be good as opposed to letting eating be governed by want feelings.  And living life applying John's teaching also means that continuous noticing of where we are coming from, relaxing and staying open.   From there, loving what we Know the truth of in our hearts opens the door to unlimited potential in terms of letting our own Being govern our way of being in this life.  When we notice ourselves becoming frustrated, that's simply an indication of a wrong orientation and it's actually such a wonderful invitation to soften right there and to let go of what it is that we're believing that we need to go our own way.  The real truth is that there is only one way and that's the way you quietly Know the truth of within.  

Whilst on this school break, I've been enjoying listening to old John de Ruiter tapes on my stereo whilst working away in my art studio and it's a great way to keep in touch with his teaching.  As ever, I find John's teaching to be simply supreme, inviting everything in us that's upside-down to turn right-side up.  That's all about bringing the deep right up to the surface - and in that, seeing that any hint of frustration is really an invitation...

Until next time,
and YES the new website is imminent (really!) 
Love,
Shanti
