At last a chance to share with others to the joyful, magical and mystical experiences that John has given to the eyes of my heart. This record will be presented soon.
As of today, I especially related to the story “The Stars will Bear Witness”.
I first met John about ten years ago. Went to several meetings and then did not go again, I have re picked up my interest this year, listening to his fascinating podcast, the snippets from meetings. For me he has been a wonderful person to encounter because, simply, I dont know, or have never come across anyone else who is able to pull out this feeling / sense within others. I found /find it hard to have a spiritual teacher as such but that is I guess how I see him, even though I am a reluctant, its just that he makes so much damn sense ! I have read that John is vague , this is from reading some of the critical material on the web on him, I so would counter that with saying he has managed to firmly explain the human condition / the nature of a persons thought processes and its structure with an extreme precisesness, there really is nothing vague about his dialogue. Reading elsewhere here someone saying about getting a hug from john, well I was with a couple of friends who were ‘alternatives’ and they wanted to hang around till the end for a hug, i felt really embarassed and reluctantly did, he is quite a big man and he towered over me , smiled and briefly embraced, maybe a few seconds, I think what he does is swap himself for you for a moment, something I cant quite comprehend but that would be my closest explanation. I was afraid I may start weeping or something odd as I had seen others, fortunately I could not stop giggling, I sat in a chair and just thought wow, I have not felt like this since I was a baby, but it is familiar, I last saw / felt like this as a baby, maybe a 1 year old, kind of if you can imagine what its like when a baby has its tummy tickled and it just laughs joyfully. I was not insane and not out of control laughing, I was giggling at the fact I was just very happy suddenly and it had seemed to have arrived from nowhere, it felt deep in belly. I wish I could summon that at will but it was one of those one of things and I imagine if John had of swapped something with me for a moment then it was I guess something rather profound. I thought at the time that was so kind to that, you know I’m not like mr super nice or anything and he was willing to do that, it was a lovely gift.
I find myself re interested in what John is about again and as I listen to his words, I feel that what hes saying now 10 years later is a very together picture of whats going on within a person. Certainly me. For me the key thing he’s been talking about is approaching any kind of inner questioning should be done with a core breaking honesty. I dont approach myself nor my life with anything vaguely like this, though I know I could if I choose to and was brave. Its so so nice for someone to spread the picture out and put things fairly simply whist at the same time painting a very indepth complex picture of things.
I find myself listening to the talks and just saying oh my god john, oh my god !! thats so other worldly, yet it actually makes sense and is as such real.
He recently visted my hometown and I wondered whether to visit a talk, I choose not to as I felt I am not serious in my questioning, I have a really strong interest. I was afraid that I would get this strong inner sense from his visit and then it would be gone and I would be really misserable, I dont know if thats the way it would have gone but thats what I thought.
Hes a very special man, I’ve never had an interest in these people who say they are awakened and such like, I have strongly felt that they have been egotistical and in it for something. Thats just been my limited experience, I could see it on there face instantly, they were just like me.
I really dont feel / sense / nor use in using my critical judgement get that from John.
I think something thats hit me hard, very hard from hearing him talk is theres a cost…people often are looking for something to gain and use and boost themselfs up, like we would turn something into a status symbol, a nice buzz to enhance our lifes, and listening to the podcasts i think i can hear it in lots of peoples questioning. When I ve heard John say its going to cost something, its going to cost everything, I guess thats what makes me know hes deadly serious, and thats not a game, not something I can treat as oh i ll get a higher self and it will cost me everything , thats really hard for me to get my head round, because it really will cost everything, theres not a way round it one bit and that kind of hurts quite a lot.
So for me , thanks for letting me rant a bit as I dont really have anyone to chat about this stuff, dont know anyone at all whos familiar with John. its nice to write some things about something which I guess I have to admit is becoming fairly important to me.
To anyone who say’s his words are vague !! you really need to have a critical listen to it all, hes very precise in what words are coming out of him.
No one religion has all the answers.
No one individual has all the answers.
I believe that there are universal truths, however the whole of them is not attainable my man.
We are meant to seek out these truths as best we can, by engaging with life, love, nature and fellow human beings.
We are meant to enjoy life, love, nature and fellow human beings.
We are meant to appreciate them.
In doing this, in being truly engaged with the world around us, we occassionally get to glimpse little pieces of the truth.
Turning your spiritual self over to another human being denies yourself the profound joy of seeing truth for yourself.
