The other day I ran across the very first video I ever made of myself talking, and the words I said back then were so much exactly what I needed to be reminded of just now, that I decided it was time to post it here for everyone.
In hindsight it is incredible to me that when I recorded this message, I had no idea that in less than a year I would live on the other side of the world and be happily married to the woman of my dreams! In that moment I could not have imagined all the amazing things that were coming for me.
Enjoy!

In Stillness It Comes to Me
Recorded by John McCurdy on 21 October 2024 and 10 August 2017
2024 John:
Greetings, dear friends!
My name is John McCurdy, and I channel my soul. My self, my whole self.
Ahh…
It seems like in the life of a master, points come where you just can’t see what’s ahead.
One of the interesting things about living as a master is that the future becomes so open that you simply can’t project your past into the future anymore, and so it seems to the mind like you have no idea what’s coming next. Ah, but soul knows.
Well, the last few weeks, and months even, have felt like that for me. Big change! I could feel it happening inside, and yet I have no idea what it’s going to look like on the other side. And sometimes that, oh, it scares the crap out of the human!
So, a couple of days ago I happened across the very first video I ever made. It was back in 2017, and I was feeling just like that. Like I could feel the changes happening, but… And big changes were happening in my life, but I had no idea where it was going. Or what to do, other than just to be in the moment.
So one day I was feeling that intensely, and I sat down at the computer and just started talking, and made a little short video. And I happened to cross that a couple of days ago, and it was exactly what I needed to hear in this moment.
It’s short and to the point. And it was such a beautiful message, such a clear and profound message, that I decided it’s time to post it on my website.
So here it is, and I hope you enjoy it!
Blessings.
2017 John:
Hello, Master!
What, you don’t feel much like a master today?
Yeah, I didn’t feel like a master this morning either. But we are Masters, and you are too. The master is here. The master is inside of us.
This morning I woke up feeling all frustrated about financial issues, health issues, and all these things that the human aspect of me doesn’t know what to do with. It feels like I should be doing something, so I decided to take a warm bath. Sometimes that helps.
And during the bath I realized something that I’ve known for so long. And it’s so hard to remember sometimes that in the stillness, everything comes to me.
My job in life is not to go out and figure out how to make things happen, how to get the things I want in my life, how to fix my body, or how to get more money. That’s not my job!
My job is to be still, to be here, to be in this experience of life, right here where I am, right now. That’s all.
Right here, right now, I have everything I need.
I have a roof over my head. I have food to eat, and a beautiful home in a beautiful place. When I can be with that I’m alive, and then it doesn’t matter what happens tomorrow.
And the truth is, when I’m present with what’s here right now, when I can be still with this, when I can allow me just as I am in this moment, that attracts a whole different kind of tomorrow than what I would have attracted by trying to make tomorrow into something. It attracts a better tomorrow.
But it doesn’t matter, because I’m living, right now, right here. And that, my friend, is what a master does.
A master doesn’t have power and doesn’t use power. A master doesn’t go out and create grand universes by pushing them into place, by demanding them into place. That’s not a master. That’s a human trying to be a master.
A master is simply present, right here, right now, and everything comes to the master.
So I don’t know today how all the issues that my mind thinks are such big problems are going to resolve themselves tomorrow, or the next day or whenever, but it doesn’t matter. Because right now I’m here.
Right now I’m loving me, and that is the greatest love that there ever has been or ever will be.
Right now I am allowing me to just be here, to be still. Still inside.
I might get inspired to lots of activity this afternoon, or not. Either way I’m still, in me.
I’m living life, just because it’s life right now. Not in order to get something for tomorrow.
Tomorrow I could be dead, and that’s okay too, because there isn’t any death. I’ll just be in a different reality.
Tomorrow I could be homeless. I’ve been there before, kind of. I don’t need to do that anymore, but it doesn’t matter! Because everywhere I go there is life, and that is why we are here. To experience life.
When we are off in the future chasing after what we want for tomorrow, we are not alive. We are not experiencing life. We are experiencing a mind game mind game, and that’s all it is.
Life is here, right here, right now. This is life.
When we live right here, right now, and allow ourselves this experience, whatever it is, then that attracts more life, and more life, and more life.
When we are off chasing after the future, trying to fix everything that we see wrong with our lives, that attracts death. Because we are not alive. We are not living. We are just a big ball of worry.
So I invite you to come into your life, right here, right now.
Tomorrow is going to take care of itself, no matter what you do.
Tomorrow will be whatever it is, and there isn’t much you can do right now that’s going to change that. Your mind will tell you different. Your mind will tell you that you have to do this or that or the other thing. But the truth is, that’s not how life works.
Like attracts like, and whatever you are being in this moment is what attracts more of the same in your future. So if you are focused on doing things in order to create your future, yes, you are going to create more of the same in the future. More of those things you’re scared of or worried about.
Come into life right here, right now, and that will attract more life in the future.
Be here.
Be with this experience today, and have fun with it.
Blessings.
