I am that I am!

Master John, of magical service.

Oh, we’re having a little fun with John today. He gets so in his mind sometimes! Sometimes he feels a channel coming on and he’ll do almost anything to distract himself. Oh, he gets in his mind. He feels some of the things we’ll be talking about and he starts imagining—his mind starts trying to say the words to himself, and it spins and spins, trying to understand what we are going to say and trying to figure out if he can say it in a way that makes sense.

Hmm…

This morning—well, it’s been two days, or a day and a half, since our last message, with dear Jeshua, because yesterday was a very special day: February 22, 2022. A very special day, and we decided to do a very special channel for that day. A Day of Inner Union we called it, and you can find it on our website. And indeed it was a historic day, a day of transformation, a day of inner union. A turning point for humanity.

Oh, but here John is this morning, and it’s time to get back to this class. And he’s going, “I forgot what we talked about in those other channels. How can I possibly continue this series when I’ve forgotten what we already said?”

And then, of course, he knows the answer: It doesn’t matter, because it is not the mind that is creating this class. It is not coming from the human level, or the human part of me. This class is coming from ALL that I am. It is coming from my essence, my being, my knowing. It is coming from the wisdom that I have distilled from every single experience that I or any of my incarnations have experienced. It is not coming from the mind.

Oh, the mind has a little job to do in translating the feelings into words, with a great deal of help and monitoring from Soul, from the master self, from the Merlin.

Ha! In our earlier sessions we called the mind the great anti-creator. A brilliant metaphor! And of course, like any metaphor, you can take it too far. You can take it too literally. But it is still brilliant.

It is not that the mind is at war with you and deliberately trying to mess up your life or to create the opposite of what you want. It’s just that that is how it works. That is the result.

For you see, creation happens in this moment. In this Now moment, and it does not happen anywhere else.

But the mind has a very hard time being in this moment. It spends much of its time in the past, sometimes remembering happy memories, but mostly regretting where it thinks it failed or did something bad or wrong. And the rest of the time it spends in the future, taking that past and projecting it into the future, and trying to figure out how to change it. Of course it doesn’t work, and since that is where its focus is, that is what your energies create more of.

Hmm…

Oh, sometimes you imagine something beautiful. Well, in the very moment you imagine it, it is created. And it comes to you.

Hear that, dear friend. It comes to you. In the instant you imagine it the creation is done, and it comes to you. But so often, you are not here to receive it! You have already run off into the future and all your attention is on how you don’t have it or all the many other things you want. All your attention is on how to fix everything that is wrong in your world, so that beautiful creation floats on past because you are not there to claim it. And your energies are always serving you by creating more of whatever has your attention.

You see, the energies don’t hear your words. They only know what you are paying attention to, and if you are paying so much attention to something, they assume that you want more of that. And so they become more of that. It’s very simple!

Oh, but the mind doesn’t understand that. It’s trying, it is hearing us, but it still doesn’t get it.

You see, you gave the mind a job, a long, long time ago in your terms, of taking care of you and of figuring out your life. You forgot about Soul, and that was by design. It is the way it needed to be. But since you forgot about your soul, you turned to your mind. You allowed it to think it is you, and it is not. It is just a part of you.

You allowed yourself to think that your mind was the seat of your consciousness, and it is not. Your consciousness is the essence of who you are, the core of who you are.

Oh, the words don’t really work, because you are not a thing. You are simply consciousness.

And what is consciousness? Awareness. Pure, simple awareness. That is what you are.

But that is not what your mind is. Your mind is a computer. In itself, it is difficult to say that it is aware of anything. Oh, it takes input, just like a computer does. It processes that input based on its programming, and it creates some kind of output. And you use that to try to control your life. And oh, you see, your mind wants nothing more than to be in control of your life.

No, don’t blame the mind, because that is how you created it. That is how we created it. But as far as the mind can tell, at least up until now, its major purpose in life was to be in control of your life and to manage your life in a way that would keep you safe and help you get ahead.

Well, dear friends, that is a power game, pure and simple. It is a power game, and you already know that power is an illusion. It is an attempt by the mind to take power over you, the sovereign creator being, and to take power over the rest of life and over the people in your life. Oh yes!

You think, “No, I’m just trying to keep them happy.”

Well that, dear friend, is a power game. You do not have the power to keep them happy, and when you try, you hurt. And you already know that.

Hmm…

Your mind wants to be in control. And now, dear friend, it is time to start letting go of that control.

One of the first things that John realized when he had his realization a few years ago, is that from the human perspective, enlightenment is all about going out of control.

Because enlightenment is simply the realization of who you are, and you are pure awareness. And awareness has no control whatsoever. It doesn’t try to control anything. It is simply aware, and that is all.

Oh, amazing creations come out of awareness! Because whatever you are aware of, whether it was there before or not, it is there the minute you are aware of it. But awareness does not control those creations. It is simply aware of them. It allows them their own freedom to evolve.

Oh, and that is what the mind does not do. At least not yet.

The mind creates things the hard way, by manipulating what it considers to be reality and by pushing things around and piecing things together, and then it holds on to those creations for dear life to protect them and to keep them from turning into something it didn’t want, and to keep anybody else from messing with them.

The mind tries to control everything, including you, but how do you control awareness?

It doesn’t really work, but it was a fun game. And now, dear friend, it is just a painful game. It is time to let it go.

Some of you are new to this and you are going, “What? What do you mean? I thought the mind was who I am! What are you talking about?”

For you, dear friend, well, first we’ll say it: your mind—you can call it your brain, although it’s quite a bit more than your brain—is the thing that thinks all those thoughts in your head. They come from your mind. Oh, many of them come from other people’s minds. They’re floating through, and you pick them up and look at them. Where did that thought come from? Well, it came from somebody else.

Some of them are your own.

We talk about feeling and the difference between thinking and feeling, and it is very confusing for most humans. You think of feeling, and you think of emotions like happiness, sadness, anger or fear. Those are the basic emotions, and there are so many similar ones.

But emotions, oh, you feel them, but they are not, in and of themselves, feelings. They are thoughts. They are thoughts in your mind, because you gave it the job, a long time ago, of distracting you from your soul and from your real feelings.

Your mind uses these emotions as—well, they are a kind of counterfeit feelings.

Someone might say something that you don’t like. Maybe they tell you something they don’t like about you, and your mind reacts. It feels ashamed. It feels afraid. And it says, “I have to do something about that. I have to protect myself!” And so it floods the body with chemicals, drugs really, that make you feel all these sensations in your body.

You feel angry! Well, what you really feel is a drug. A drug that results from your mind’s interpretation of what happened. And that is all an emotion is.

Dear friend, as you open up to the true nature of you, you will find your emotions fading away.

Oh, that’s scary for the human, for you think those emotions are such an important part of your life. What would you do without happiness, sadness, fear, anger and all these things that give your life so much color?

Hmm…

Indeed. We are not saying that emotions are bad things, for they have indeed given your life, your many lives, so much color and so much sensuality. But as you come back to you, as you find your emotions fading away, you are going to discover true feelings. Feelings that don’t come from the mind, that are not controlled or managed by the mind, and that come from all the senses you have that you forgot about because you were so focused on these human senses.

These feelings come through your body. Many of you feel them in your heart area, some of them in your gut, and some of them in other ways.

Another example of how the mind turns feelings into emotions is, suppose someone comes up to you and slaps you in the face. Well, you feel the flesh in your cheek being slapped, being crushed. It is a physical sensation, a feeling, and that is all it is. It doesn’t even hurt. It is just a sensation.

But that sensation triggers an electro-chemical response in your body that sends a signal to your brain, and your brain thinks to itself, “Hmm, something happened to my cheek!” And it correlates that signal with the one from your eyes of this person slapping you, and it says, “Ouch, that hurts!”

And so your cheek hurts. Not because there is anything in your cheeks that can actually hurt, because there isn’t, but because your mind said, “That hurts!” And your mind creates more drugs in your body that reinforce the hurting sensation.

And then your mind says, “That was bad! That is a bad person!” Or, “That was what I deserve for being bad!” Or any number of other possible responses, and suddenly you have an emotion going. Your mind floods your body with more chemicals and you feel ashamed, or angry, or sad, or all these different things that have nothing whatsoever to do with the feeling that you first experienced.

The simple physical sensation. That is a feeling, and everything that comes after it is first of all an interpretation, and second, an emotion. It is a counterfeit for the feeling, and usually a greatly exaggerated counterfeit.

Then you act out, based on that counterfeit feeling, and you find yourself in a fight, or running and hiding, or whatever.

Another difference between you and your mind: Once again, your mind is a computer, pure and simple. It’s a computer! It takes input, it processes it based on its programming and on its past experiences, or what it remembers of its past experiences, which usually isn’t very accurate. It takes that input, it processes it and it creates an output, usually in the form of an emotion or an action.

You, on the other hand, are simply consciousness. You are aware.

You are aware of the sensation in your cheek when it gets slapped, but as Awareness you do not have any interpretation for that. Nor do you need any interpretation for that. Therefore, at the consciousness level, you do not feel any pain. You don’t need to. Pain requires an interpretation. It requires the mind to say, “This happened, so it means that!” and then to react accordingly.

But who you are, as pure, simple awareness, has no need for that. You are simply aware: “Ah, this person slapped my cheek. Okay.” And that is all.

You don’t need to know why. You don’t need to understand any of it. You don’t need to interpret any of it. You will know why, because you do not need to. If you can be in that place of simple awareness, then your knowing comes into play.

You see, in awareness there is knowing. Absolute knowing that, from the human perspective, you cannot even imagine. But you know what it feels like. Every one of you has felt it at times. An unexplainable knowing. It’s like a sensation inside of you.

Oh, your mind turns it into words, or tries to. It usually argues with it and tells it how crazy it is, because it doesn’t understand. But when you trust that knowing, everything in your life gets better. For you see, when you are aware, you know. Pure and simple.

So, how do you know what is coming from your mind, and what is coming from your knowing? Well, one way is that your mind is all about words. It thinks in words. It speaks in words.

Oh, that is a beautiful thing! It makes it possible for you to play in this playground of mass consciousness, in the game we have spoken of, and to interact with each other and communicate with each other at this level. It is extremely limited, but it is also incredibly sensual.

So, there is nothing wrong with the mind, or with its thoughts. The only thing we’re trying to clarify here is that, it is not who you are. And now is the time to realize that.

So, a good rule of thumb, and once again, no metaphor is absolute, but a really good rule of thumb is, if it is in words, it is the mind.

Whether the words are inside your head or coming out of your mouth, or coming out of somebody else’s mouth, it is the mind. Because the mind communicates with words, and that is all It knows. Words  are all the mind knows.

“What about music?” John is asking. Well, the mind doesn’t really know how to communicate in music. It can make music, like a computer makes music, which is very technical and has no color in it. It is the soul, the knowing, the consciousness that adds the color. So, we’ll just come back to our simple rule of thumb: if it is in words, it is coming from the mind.

And now John says, “Okay, what about this channel? It’s in words!”

Well, yes, these words are being spoken by John’s mind. But John has learned how to open his mind to something deeper. He is taking the feelings that we are giving him and translating them into words, because we are speaking to your mind, dear friend. We are speaking to your mind in the hope of helping your mind—and indeed, John’s mind—to understand a little bit more deeply. Because, you see, that is what this part of this journey—we don’t like that word so much, but that is what this time is about.

It is not about getting rid of your mind or punishing your mind or silencing your mind. It is about helping your mind to open up to the knowing, and to begin to trust Soul again.

For a long time, the mind thought that Soul was something evil. Oh, we can’t imagine how it would have got that impression, given the fact that you gave it the job—we gave it the job—a long time ago of distracting you from Soul! That was just one of the ways it did its job. It decided there must be something wrong with Soul, so it worked very hard to distract you, to convince you that these feelings were evil or unimportant, because they come from Soul.

Hmm…

So, here we are at this point, at the completion of the game and helping the mind to begin to realize that Soul is who you are. Not it, but Soul. So yes, we speak in words. And we hope you can feel, beneath the words, the same feelings that John is feeling and translating into words.

These same feelings, we are transmitting them to you underneath the words. We hope you can feel them. We ask you to feel them, for we know you can. We ask you to open up to the feeling.

The words are extremely limited, and we cannot possibly describe the true nature of reality through them. But we try, because it helps to open your mind so it can relax a little bit and let in those feelings. It wants to, but it is still afraid. It wants to be sure that it’s okay, that its job of distracting you from Soul is really done.

Dear mind, it is time. It is time to step back, open up, and allow Soul back in. To allow the feelings once more. Not the emotions, but the real feelings.

Mmm…

Sometimes they come as sensations in your body. But truthfully, those are mostly emotions, or the result of emotions. Mostly, the true feelings come as knowing.

We don’t have words to describe true feelings. We truly do not, because words are of the mind and the mind is only beginning to become aware of them. But you know. You have felt them. You feel the resonance as we speak of these feelings. You know what they are.

They don’t come with judgments. They don’t come with evaluations. They are very simple.

Sometimes they show up as an inspiration. You see something and it just sort of lights up a little bit, or you feel your heart light up a little bit. That is a knowing. That is a feeling coming from Soul, saying something like, “Pay attention to that! Go in that direction!”

Oh, the mind argues with those feelings. We’ve talked about why. But when the mind lets go and starts paying attention to those feelings, when it starts allowing you to trust those feelings and to follow them, or to take action according to them instead of all the reasoning and logic in your mind, oh, your life will change.

Your life will change in ways you cannot even imagine, because your mind does not have the ability to truly imagine the future. It only has the ability to project its experience of the past into the future, and that is why, so often, your future simply becomes a replay of your past, or a continuation of your past.

When you start getting in touch with those—oh, let’s not say it that way.

When you start allowing, being aware of, those feelings, the real feelings, it opens the door to potentials that you truly cannot imagine yet and that are going to amaze you and thrill you!

The human mind says, “Okay, I’ve felt those. I know I have. But so often they don’t make any sense! They don’t have anything to do with solving my problems!”

Ha! Indeed they don’t! Because, you see, your problems are an illusion. Every single one of them is an illusion. It is a projection by your mind of your past into the future, and that is all a problem is!

The truth of the matter is, you do not have any problems.

And when you let that in, then you will be able to trust those feelings a little bit more. And when you do that, oh, you’ll find that what you thought were problems aren’t problems at all. They take care of themselves. They resolve themselves.

Because, you see, it as a fact of creation that, just as there cannot be a question where the answer doesn’t already exist, there cannot be a problem where the solution does not already exist. Oh, but if you see it as a problem, and you fight with it as if it is a problem, the solution cannot get to it. But when you let go, when you begin to trust the feelings, the simple awareness of who you are, then the solutions and the problems simply reunite.

You see, your mind is all about duality. It is all about opposites: the past and the future, up and down, light and dark, masculine and feminine. Your mind does not know how to function without duality, partly because it created duality!

Hmm…

Your mind is the computer within which this game runs, so it cannot comprehend anything without duality. That is part of why it is having a hard time right now. Because it hears us talking about something beyond duality, and it is trying really hard to understand, but it doesn’t. It doesn’t come in that way, so the mind is struggling. And that is okay. It will understand. It is coming to understand, little by little.

When you step out of that duality you come back to your pure, simple awareness. There is no duality in that, and when there is no duality, there is just a flow.

You see, one of the things you are doing right now, in choosing to stay on Earth at this time, especially for those of you who have already had your realization—you know that you can leave anytime you want to. The game is over. You have come to the highest level. The game is over, and you know you are the player. You have experienced everything there is to experience in this game. Or so we thought.

But you have decided to bring that simple, pure, non-dual awareness into the game.

Oh, there have been others that have tried before, who created whole religions around what they call non-duality. In truth, most of them are diving deeper into duality, because they don’t understand, yet, who they are. They talk about it, but they don’t really get it yet. A few have, but most of them, not so much.

But you are getting it, and you have decided to bring that awareness into the game and see what happens. It’s not clear yet what is going to happen, because it has never been done before. Everyone who has ever come to this point in the game, when they got to the end, to the highest level and there was nowhere else to go, they just left. Partly because they didn’t see anything else to do, and partly because it was too hard to stay in the game once they realized they were the player.

So, you are doing something different. We are doing something different. We are staying in the game, at least for a little while, and we are bringing in that light, that awareness, that non-dual awareness. Not the awareness of non-duality, for that is a game, but the non-dual awareness. The awareness that has no duality, that has no agenda, no evaluation, no interpretation.

It doesn’t need interpretations, for it simply knows. It is simply aware. It is aware of the question and of the answer, of the problem and of the solution. And therefore, there is no need for interpretations or anything else, because once you are aware of the solution, then the problem doesn’t exist anymore. Once you are aware of the answer, the question no longer exists.

There is no duality in consciousness, in awareness.

In the mind—well, we will say that the mind does not think that it knows what to do with that.

John was going to say, “The mind doesn’t know what to do with that.” But the truth is, the mind thinks that it doesn’t know what to do with that, and so it doesn’t.

We ask you, dear mind, to let go of that. You do know what to do with this. You do know, because you are me. You, dear mind, are a part of me, of your being.

And you, dear friend out there, your mind is part of you, of your being. It thinks it doesn’t know what to do with this non-dual reality, but it does. It truly does, because it is part of you, and you know. The essence of you knows, has always known, so how can your mind not know?

And this is true about anything in your life. You think you don’t know.

There are so many things you think you don’t know, so many questions you think you don’t have the answer to and so many problems you think you don’t know the solution to. It is time to let that go, because you do know. You always have known, at your core, and when you stop telling yourself that you don’t know, then you will know.

You see, that is another power game that you play with yourself, another way that the human, the mind, tries to stay in control. You tell yourself that you don’t know, but you do.

Listen to yourself as you go through your day. How often do you say, “I don’t know?”

It is not true. It is not ever true! But you see, you don’t want to know.

Hmm…

That’s a hard one. But let it in, dear friend, because it is true. You do not want to know, because if you did know, you would have to take responsibility, and there are so many things that you do not want to take responsibility for. But you DO know.

It is a lie when you say, “I don’t know.” Every time, without exception, when you say “I don’t know,” it is a lie.

[pause to let that in]

Oh, in your interactions with other people, sometimes it is a useful lie. Sometimes saying anything else would lead to an argument or discussion that you are better off not having with them, because it triggers things in them. But you need to understand that when you say “I don’t know” you are lying.

And, while sometimes it is necessary to lie to another person, it hurts when you lie to yourself. And that is what you are doing when you say, “I don’t know.”

When you say, “I don’t know how to solve that problem. I don’t know what the answer to this question is. I don’t know…” whatever. It is a lie. It is a power game against yourself, a battle with yourself, and it hurts. It is time to let that go.

Instead, when you see a problem or you have a question and you don’t see the answer right away, just take a breath and come back to that pure, simple awareness. And the answer will be there.

It might not come into your mind instantly, but if you come back to that awareness, and then turn your attention to the feelings of this moment, then the answer to the question will be there. The solution to the problem—you may never be aware of it in your mind, but it will just happen. The problem will go away. It will be resolved.

You see, you look for the answers in your mind, and so often they are not there. They are not going to come to you in your mind! They are not going to come to you in words!

Oh, after you become aware of them, your mind may translate some of them into words. But that is not how they come. They come in feelings, in knowing that has no words, and they come in the moment. In the Now moment when they are needed.

Sometimes they don’t come immediately, because you don’t need them right now. The problem that you see is off in the future. But the future does not exist so that problem does not exist, and it does not need a solution right now.

Sometimes you have a question about the future: What is going to happen to this or that? Well, the future does not exist, so there is no real question. And there can be no answer for a question that does not exist, for it has not been written yet.

So, come back to now.

Hmm…

When John started paying more attention to Now and letting go of all those projections into the future he discovered that most of the things he thought were problems simply were not there anymore, because they were off in some imagined future that didn’t actually play out. Some other future played out that surprised him, and none of those problems applied. And that is what you will find too.

So many of these things you think are problems only exist in an imagined future. And so, when you come back to the pure, simple awareness of Now, those problems simply do not exist. And you find that in the Now, there simply are not any problems.

It’s hard for the human, because it is so used to projecting into the future, to projecting its past into the future.

So many people have come to John over the years and said, “I can’t figure out what to do! I can’t find my path! I feel so lost!” And, after a little questioning, it would get clear that what they really meant was that they couldn’t figure out what to do for a living for the rest of their life. So, John would try to help them to come back to Now.

You see, from this point forward—oh, from some time in the back, sometime past….forward—Ha! Here we are in time again, confusing John!

You see, life is not about the future anymore, for you. All of those things you are worried about happening in the future, they do not exist and that is not how your life is going to go!

Even if you keep trying to control it, it is most likely going to go in some entirely different direction that you cannot possibly prepare for, that you cannot possibly imagine. So come back to Now, in this moment.

If you check in with yourself, in this moment, you know exactly what to do.

Maybe it is to continue listening to this recording. Maybe it is to get angry and smash the device you are listening to it on!  Maybe it is to take a break and go to the toilet. Whatever. You know, in this moment, exactly what to do. And in every single moment, you always know what to do. You can feel it. It’s in your knowing.

So often you don’t do it, because your mind says, “Oh, that will take you in the wrong direction! That won’t solve the problems in the future!”

Sometimes you are inspired to take a nap, or to go for a walk, and your mind says, “But you need to get money so you can pay the rent at the end of the month!” And so you focus on that, instead of on your knowing. Whereas if you had taken that walk, who knows who you would have run into or what new opportunities would have shown up? Or if you had taken that nap you would just feel better, and that would put you in a space that is more open.

You see, in every single moment you know exactly what to do with that moment, if you will only trust yourself.

Trust that feeling inside of you that just feels better. That’s all. It doesn’t make any sense, and it never will make any sense to your mind. But it feels better. And then you will find your future unfolding in ways you never dreamed possible, in ways you never imagined, in ways that will thrill you.

Because your soul knows what you want and what makes you happy a lot better than you the human does, and now you are finally home to receive those things. Home in the Now moment. Home in this pure, simple awareness that you are.

And when you finally allow that, when you stop saying “I don’t know” because you are only fooling yourself, when you stop battling with yourself or anybody else, when you stop trying to take care of your future—oh, that sounds so irresponsible to humans! But it is actually the most responsible thing you can do. When you stop trying to take care of your future, stop trying to fix the problems of your life and of the world, and stop saying “I don’t know,” that opens you up to your true knowing.

Oh, it’s not smart. It’s not like the human ‘common sense’ that comes from human experience. It’s just a knowing, and it is always there in the present moment. It is not there in the future, for it can’t be. It is not about the future. It is about what to do right now.

Oh, there might come a time when you suddenly have an urge to set a date in the future for a trip, and to buy your airplane tickets. But the feeling in the moment is about it being time to set a date and buy the tickets, not about the trip.

You see, in your human reality you get to deal with time, but in a whole different way. John and Romana have spent a lot of time traveling in the last couple of years, and so often they get caught up in arguing in their own minds, and even with each other sometimes, about when or where to buy the tickets for the airplane flights or what dates to travel, or all these things. But always, always, some moment comes and one or the other of them says, “I know what to do! It’s time! Let’s go on this date. Let’s buy the ticket!” And the other feels it, and they just do it.

It is so different from how most humans live!

Most people get stuck in the arguments. John Romana have, mostly, learned how to let the arguments go and to realize, “Oh, the answer isn’t clear yet, so let it go.”

The idea is clear: “Oh, we’re going to take a trip!” Sometimes that gets clear, but the answer of when or how just isn’t clear yet, and they have learned to be okay with that and to wait until that moment comes when suddenly it is clear and something inside them says, “Buy those tickets now!”

Only, it’s not in words. It’s just a knowing: Oh, it’s time to buy the tickets. Or whatever other step needs to be taken. And oh, so many times they’ve been surprised at how easy it was, and how they got the perfect flight or the perfect place to live for a while in wherever it is they are going.

Oh, so many things just flow when you are in that place! When you have let go of control.

And when you have stopped saying, “I don’t know.”

Hmm…

Oh, the human mind goes, “Yeah, I hear you. I get it, kind of. But, you know, I still have to deal with this human reality.” And they limit themselves. That is what they expect, and so that is what they get.

Human reality keeps going on in the same old way, because they are still projecting their perceived experiences from the past—even those are not real or complete—into the future and trying to figure it out. They say, “I’m still in this human reality, so I have to solve those problems!”

No, dear friend, you do not.

But that expectation keeps you stuck there, and when you let it go those problems will solve themselves. Even though it looks like they are real, they are out in the future and nothing in the future is real. Nothing!

When you stop seeing the future as something that is real, then you will discover that it is actually something that evolves and unfolds in surprising new ways. When you are not trying to control it, it opens up and truly, truly, those problems just disappear. New solutions appear. New opportunities show up. New life comes into being. But it is always in the Now moment.

No, you do not live in the human reality. Not at all. And you do not have to solve any of those problems that you see.

You are pure, simple awareness. That is all, and everything else is imaginary.

When you let that in, when you allow yourself to experience your life in the Now moment, you will find that it all shifts and it all changes. The problems disappear and joy comes into your life in this moment.

Hmm…

We will come back for one more session, and then we will take a break so that John can publish this.

Hm. He got all emotional just now, because suddenly he felt the weight of all the work that he thinks he has to do to publish this, and all the problems he thinks he has to solve. For you see, this is not going to be a free class, and he needs to find a way to make it available for sale, so that you can put your energy into you.

So, we ask John not to take that on. He’s off in the future again! Come back to now, and let the publishing unfold.

Once it’s published, once it is available, we will wait thirty days. John will announce a way to collect questions from those of you who have been through these first sessions. There will be a thirty day window to send in questions, and then we will do a question and answer session where we address as many of those questions as we can.

Oh, we’ll actually address them all, but we may only be able to talk about some of them. They will all get addressed if you can open to your feelings, to your awareness, in the Now moment.

So, we will have a question and answer session. You will have access to that if you have purchased this class, and then we will have at least one follow up session. And after that, this class will become available as it is, with that question and answer session and the follow up, as something that others can purchase.

So, it is time for John to take a break and get some lunch.

We encourage you, dear friend, to take a break yourself. Take a break from the future!

Oh my. Take a break from the future!

Be with you, right here, right now.

Take some time to simply be here, with you. To simply be in your simple, pure awareness.

And so it is.

  1. Em sento molt bé amb tot el que vaig llegint…

    Ja fa un temps que la meva ment, està en pau, tranquil·la.
    Quan em sento pensar massa estona, respiro i m’obro per integrar tots els pensaments i tornar a la calma.

    El meu saber em va portar a una solució ben senzilla, en quan em trobo en una situació en que haig de triar una opció a fer, “tria allò qie et faci més feliç, que sigui la que fagi senti millor al teu cor”. ❤️
    Amb això, no necessito processar, veure pros i contres, es simple i es la meva guia.

  2. The note about that creation is happening in the Now.
    When I saw and read John’s post about this material “Living as Soul” it resonates without any doubt. However the mind did its travel to my bank account, lol
    I had made a decision to purchase and acted in about 15 minutes after reading it. In couple minutes after the purchase I recived message about an extra money was coming to my way . Not even a delay.
