The Beautiful Simplicity of Knowing

Did you check out some of the live streamed broadcasts from Cologne?  I managed to watch a few of them and they were great.  I particularly enjoyed listening to John during the Friday evening meeting as he answered a questioner concerning his fear of dying.  John spoke of how he had ideas of dying and pain (both physical and emotional) and how he now feared those ideas.  And that the reality of any experience doesn't prevent you from relaxing into you simply being You.  He said, "You don't actually fear anything." And more:

"Realize the simplicity,
the directness of You
and as soon as you do,
there's Love.
What you really are is not fear.
What you really are
is Love."

He went on to speak more about believing ideas as being like making a trap, stepping into it and that's then how it works:

"It's not real because it's not You.
The trap can be undone.
It is directly undone
by you simply being what you really are 
in the midst of the trap.
When you are You,
You are not trapped."

John told how such a trap exists only in the self and when you genuinely and deeply relax in your self, despite the trap; when that which made the trap unconditionally relaxes, the trap also relaxes.  He spoke of not needing the experience within the self that such a trap offers, giving a sense of self importance ... "That makes your self more than You.  That makes your self Master of You - even though your self isn't even like your own Being..."

"Your self is an incomplete 
servant of You."

John made it clear that realizing the immediate and direct truth of what we really are is all that is required for us to step out of any trap, any distortion within the self that is not like we truly are.  In the end, he spoke of the love of hearing and being and doing what is True, "because all of that is what is really You."  And then he said, "You can tell those closest to you that you're not afraid of dying any more, so they can all have their lives back."  Ah yes, those strange ideas we buy into that aren't real cause so much trouble, not only for ourselves but for those around us on whom we then off-load, pressure-relief style, all of our 'woes' - it's all so unnecessary.  Yet, wonderfully it all gets to change, once we begin to wake up and realize the Love that we really and truly are.

During the evening meeting the following day in Cologne, on Saturday, John also spoke of the simplicity of relating to what is quietly Known within:

"When you are simply being You,
everything stops,
you relax,
and everything that's taking place toward you,
doesn't threaten you.
When you are being You,
instead of what you think and feel in your self,
 you don't fear
- you can't relate to fear -
and you Love."

John now jets on over to India, about to give a wonderful seven day retreat over there, and you can once again tune in - it starts this Wednesday! - and watch those meetings live or as VoD's (click here!)  Meanwhile, I'm still working to get the most recent dialogue with him uploaded for your listening pleasure and divine transformation, hopefully for next week.  There was one line he spoke in that dialogue which reminds me of what this Post is mostly about, when he was answering a question on feeling lonely.  He said - and I love the simplicity of this: 
"Love isn't lonely."
 Dear ones, more questions for the next dialogue with John are always welcome - you know what to do!

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti

Sweet Abandon


  
 I am seeing, the further I go down this magical path, just how much is required of me as awareness to keep everything moving forward.  In that, the marvelousness of being around John is so very helpful ...

I was feeling kind of desperate on Sunday for him to sit at my table in the café at Oasis, and I was most grateful when he did so - helping me to see more clearly and keeping me moving forward in This.  So now I’m back in the saddle, so to speak - with a renewed sense of encouragement and purpose - thanks to John. 

So much opens up with the correct alignment, and yet it can only be about what one Knows the Truth of within and not about what may or may not open up – such a wonderful law of entrance to those unseen and other-worldly realms and dimensions.

Before I sign off today, here’s a snippet from Sunday’s evening meeting, where John was speaking of believing what you Know and being the More of You in all the levels of your Being:
“As you follow through with what you Know
you’ll be coming into all of it -
all that you have a sense of, you’ll come into.
You, in your self,
in sweet abandon
to the More of You. 
Give the All of You your self and your life.
As the All of You comes into your self and into your life,
it will change it all.
The All of You,
having full access into your present self,
will change your present self in all of its structuring
to beautifully match You;
the All of You.
A self that is like your being …

 John is now in Cologne about to give a Seminar - so enjoy that if you can be there – and for the rest of us there's always the livestreams and VoD’s.  Click here for more information on these online viewing options to stay connected and to help with your continued sweet abandon to the More of You …

Until next time,
,Love,
Shanti

The Integration after the Download

John de Ruiter
 I think we are pretty much all agreed here that the recent Winter Seminar was super strong and pretty amazing.  It leaves us with plenty to integrate, for sure.  Below are a few more snippets from this year's wonderful Winter Seminar with John:
"You're infusing your environment
with what you're being in your heart."
*
 "Concerning anything that is real,
if your being isn't in it,
it's not real.
Your self tells you what is real
in physical reality.
The presence of your own being 
tells you what is much more deeply real,
within everythinbg.
When you are warmed within toward someone else,
you can See,
but having thoughts and feelings
toward someone else
doesn't mean you can See.
It's through your thinking and your feeling 
that you believe you See,
but it's when you are warmed within toward someone
that you Know you See.
It is through your own being
that you can See;
that you can really see someone." 
JdR 8 Jan. '15
"Be in all of the movement
of your sexuality
without having any use 
of that movement
for your self -
while you are unconditionally 
dwelling in your heart -
and the movement of your sexuality
will naturally directly reconnect to your being,
just as you do
when you're in your heart."
JdR 9 Jan. '15
"Your sexuality is integrated
in your self to your being,
not by you doing something with it,
but by your being completely in it 
while you are staid in your heart."'
JdR 10 Jan. '15

 We now have a few more meetings with John to look forward to before he heads off for some overseas Seminars, firstly to Cologne, Germany and then to Tiruvannamalai in India.  Please click here  for more information, or to check his schedule.

And there is another podcast dialogue with John to look forward to, recorded right before the start of the Seminar and currently in the works - hopefully ready to upload in a few week's time.  Meanwhile, more questions are always welcome - simply type it as a comment below - and thanks! 

Until next time,
Love,

The Sexy Seminar

Yes, there's been talk of sexuality this Seminar, in a way that is wonderfully new and most timely.  Just as you wouldn't allow a child to play with matches before it was mature enough, I feel that John has only now provided this super fuel to us as a means of boosting our power in This, as he teaches us how to move our sexual energy in a way that is aligned with our being and connected to the heart.  
Here are some snippets:

"In the same way that your heart is moved,
you can move it -
it isn't a sexuality that you're accustomed to.
It isn't a sexuality based on your self, 
it's based on your being."
JdR 29 Dec. '14
*
"When your sexuality
is directly connected to your being,
your sexuality moves and your being moves.
Your being moves up into your self
through your heart.
Your being up into your self 
moves toward everything and everyone,
while your sexuality moves your being." ;
 JdR 29 Dec. '14
 "Know what moves you in This,
and there, gently configure 
to what moves you in This.
Respond to being aligned.
Love being aligned to what moves you.
It isn't the experience,
it's the depth and the quality of it that moves you.
It's like your being;
you in your being,
are coming into puberty.
That development makes your sexuality
about how your being moves.
It acquaints you with your being.
It's directly connecting your sexuality to your being;
to what your sexuality belongs to.
The alignment that 
that brings into your self 
disrupts what you're familiar with."
JdR 4 Jan. '15
 
 In addition to this strong theme of relating to our sexuality all differently, John's transmission during this Seminar has, at times, been off the charts - such a powerful and a golden transmission - creating a potent sea of transformation ...


And still more wonderful Winter Seminar meetings to come this week!  
Now before I sign off, as always, I welcome any new questions for John for the next dialogue - simply type your question in the form of a comment below, and thanks for your contribution  :)

Until next time,

Winter Wonder Reset

His transmission is as fine & pure as the most pristine snowflakes ...
Wow - what a wonderful start to this year's Winter Seminar here with John!  Within moments of him sitting in his chair on stage, his transmission began to fill the entire room so powerfully, that even though I was sitting in the last row at the very back, I could still feel it so strongly and so wonderfully ... 

With no time to get Blogaliscious on Tuesday, this week's Post comes to you a few days early with Day One of this seminar already providing some super snippets for you.  This first snippet comes part way through the very first meeting yesterday afternoon where John answered the question, "What do you mean by 'life'?":

"The energy of form,
the being-energy of form;
the energy of consciousness."

A little later on, the questioner was speaking of feeling the need to somehow create his future and wondering whether that had to do with relaxing into what was next in his life, to which John responded:

"You are the essence of that relaxation
when you particularize Knowing
with the use of your being
instead of with the use of your self."

John then spoke of doing that when everything on the surface in life is "in service to what you Know but cannot see," and when the questioner asked what that looks like, he answered softly:

"It doesn't 'look like.'
It has to do with what you Know
but cannot see."

The questioner went on to ask how to know when such doing would be enough, and John said:
 "When you are staid in what 
you Know but cannot see 
in the midst of all that you can see."

Later, that same powerful first meeting, I loved hearing John speak of how the events of life belong to one's being and when the questioner asked how to come from his being, John replied:

"By you being a continuum
that isn't based on forms
as you see them."

And the last snippet for you today comes from yesterday's evening meeting:

"Your being doesn't have likes and dislikes;
it can't relate to them.
Whatever environment or circumstance
that you put your being in,
when your being moves, you love." 

Dear ones, you can perhaps tell that the start of this seminar portends an entirely magical and super good Winter Wonder Reset.  If you cannot be here, I'm sure you'll be able to purchase some CDs (and maybe some podcasts & VODs) from the John de Ruiter website's online store later on.  
And of course, you always have what you Know  to relate to ... to love ... to belong to ...

Until next time,
Love,
Shanti

Winter Dialogue with John

John de Ruiter
Yay!  Today I do indeed get to upload another new Podcast, from a dialogue which got recorded in November.  There is really so much in this particular dialogue, that I hardly know what to say about it.  Yet although many juicy things get discussed - including the soul and how it links to what we Know - there's a lot of emphasis on what is most important for us as awareness to be attuning to, and about not fooling oneself ...  
Without further ado, to hear this latest offering, simply click here.

Until next time,
Love,

Being Still of Doing

John de Ruiter
Last night's meeting was enjoyable in multiple ways and I loved hearing everything John spoke.  Here's some snippets, starting with John's response, part way through the meeting, to the question, "Can you tell me what love is?":

"Openness of heart without an object.
Softness of heart without a reason.
Put love in pain and it thrives.
Put love in a corrupted past and it thrives.
Love won't reference what it is put in.
Love is free of everything,
enabling it to be in everything."
*
"You are not a 'who.'
At your very core
(you are) Meaning,
and when that moves, Love.
When Meaning moves, it's Love."
*
"When Meaning moves
the scale of doing doesn't move.
Doing to be
has no real existence."
*
"When you are still of doing;
when you're not doing to be,
you are
Love.
Love is unaccomplished.
It isn't able to relate to accomplishing.
What you are isn't able to relate to accomplishment.
It isn't able to accomplish freedom.
It can't even relate to freedom.
It's the essence of it
without the point of it."

Best of all, as usual, was John's lovely transmission throughout, which I loved bathing in and imbibing, as well as just looking at his beautiful stillness and ITness ...  And I do have to mention something pretty humorous which occurred near the start of the meeting last night.  The questioner was having a hard time understanding "what's going on here" and at one point, in describing what he sometimes sees happening to a person in the Chair, he was wondering whether John maybe had a little button under his foot (in the floor) which he sometimes pressed, so that the person in the Chair then "got electrified" (there were quite a few giggles from the audience as he spoke such things).  To my great delight, as soon as he said that, John raised his right foot a few inches and purposefully pressed it back to the floor, in perfect imitation of depressing a little button!  What a beautiful mix of deep beingness, deep restedness, unconditional Love and sprinkling of twinkly humour ...

And I can almost promise (I'm pretty sure) that next week I'll have a new podcast to upload! 
Meanwhile, the Blog door is wide open once more to receive your contributions.  Simply type any question you may have for John, in the form of a comment below, thank you.

Until next time,
Love,
