Dr. John Churchill joins the podcast today to walk us through the process of human development: from infantry to enlightenment. He shares a deep understanding of the spiritual awakening journey and how we can best optimize ourselves for this process. He lays the foundation for the conversation by describing our planetary cycle and how it related to our own development. Revealing the "Fourth Turning" our planet is currently in and it's greater global implications.
He describes the personal ascension process in 3 stages: growing up, cleaning up, waking up - and how by deepening our understanding of these phases we can lay a strong foundation for our spiritual awakening.

___________
Born in London, Dr. Churchill's interest in psycho-spiritual development, Integral theory, Contemplative studies, Western Esotericism, and Mahayana Buddhism began in his adolescence, eventually leading him to spend several years as a Buddhist monk at Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland. During this time, John received the esoteric Planetary Dharma transmissions that would in time unfold as his contribution to a planetary fourth turning teaching.
For the last 25 years, John has developed a a Fourth Turning Planetary Dharma practice which includes the somatically based contemplative practice path; Embodying the Open Ground, that integrates psychodynamic healing, adult development and meditation.
John holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College, and is a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

For all the comments addressing the real work coming after the "wake up" I strongly suggest finding a community that provides a supportive environment. We all need to feel we are not alone on this journey...and we are NOT, but the structures are still being built. Find your "Tribe" as Andre says. This UA-cam Community is great, but you also need a more interactive personal group to share and grow with . They are out there!! Find yours. Much Love to you Andre for the dissemination of Beautiful Truth. ❤
Yes!!!! If anyone is in San Diego, California - let me know. Many mystical things have happened to me and I am on my way to my dharma. I am a biochemist by education and profession. Now studying spirituality.
I’m out here joining ALL the tribes! 💛
@@JoyfulJenn awesome - find one that resonates ! it makes all the difference. If you are interested, google search for Glen Bacon Medium . There is a link to a Spiritual community I am part of . You could check it out from the main page. Love and Light - Angela
@@fuzzytraveller8588 - Community makes all the difference. It does not even need to be in person or in your local area. If you are interested, google search for Glen Bacon Medium .

I agree. I've tried finding ppl around me who are on this level. But im truely alone. Im near southern sedona. Still looking,..ive began making "god helmets." I call them..my halos..are you familar?
Andre you are one of the best podcasters. You never interrupt unduly and you have mind opening guests that are important for these times. Thank you.
Andre is a brilliant podcaster but I believe he is a true Spiritual Master waiting in the wings ........
How Humankind Came To Be
“...Since it’s the new year, I should have said a few festive words that everyone likes to hear, but I see danger is getting closer and closer to mankind. Because of this, Gods and Buddhas asked me to tell all beings in the world a few words that the Gods wish to say. Every word reveals heavenly secrets, and the purpose is for people to know the truth and be given another opportunity to be saved.”
*
Why the Creator Seeks to Save All Life
“...The Creator is the Lord of all gods in the cosmic realm, and He is the maker of the Lord of all lords, and the King of all kings. He commands all beings, including all humans, gods, and things in the Three Realms, which He has created. His love is the ultimate holy grace for sentient beings! It is the greatest honor for the world’s people to be loved by Him!”

Dear Andre, Dear John: This podcast has had me up all night, I literally skipped the night. I suffered from low spirits over the past time, because it all seems so hopeless out there, yet I see it differently, I feel it differently. Here in this podcast both of You lay out the map how the evolution will go down, how those of us who have the capacity will implement the change. So than k You! Your work goes far, it reaches around the globe, it even reached me in Switzerland.
This is the best podcast ever produced in the history of podcasts.A gem of knowledge. Thank you André.
Yes 🙌
The worst part about “waking up” is existing daily with those who have not at work…. and wondering how I can adjust my career to surround myself with more individuals who are…
I can relate to this Rachell. I would submit that as you continue your journey, you will be called to surround yourself with folks who resonate more closely with where you are going. I know that can seem scary but i have found you will just naturally attract a new type of soul to you as you continue to raise your vibration. Just shine your light and BE regardless of whom you are in contact with - awake or not ! ❤ - In Love and Light
Lol tell me about it! Also going through Kundalini awakening and it hits me 🤣 but its okay, i will survive and thrive
When you have that sensation of unconditional love, you understand at the same time how to love people for where they are in their journey. One should not forget where you were at the beginning of yours, otherwise you are at risk of becoming spiritually proud and you will lose what you gained. You have to be careful to stay humble, it is the people that have not awakened yet that need us to lead by example and our awakening stories give them hope if they are genuinely interested to change their ways.
I went through this stage and would like to share with you that I have realized that I am right where I need to be. I set an example for unawakened souls of the highest possible standard that I am capable of and commit to the process of using love and compassion to gently inspire shifts and those around me. It is a difficult place to arrive at but this is how it grows. ♾️❤️
Remaining in the state of oneness means that we don't see ourselves as separate from others. We understand everybody is on their journey. Everyone will see the light, so to speak, in their own time.
The greatest act of love to life is for men to heal their mother wounds; women need to heal and forgive the patriarchal father wounds
The Dharma Army. Bring it on, man!
I listen to podcasts like this because of the energetic exchange. Thank you for saying that there’s a “disenchantment,” but it’s much more than that. Complete dissociation and denial of the accountability of our actual effect on each other.
Lmao yes! I can literally go out into the streets and point to this left and right and look like a mad man when in reality... They're the ones that are insane.
Like that pessimistic blue Star in the new super Mario movie says "in an insane world it is the sane who are called crazy"
They're so disconnected from themselves and the universe that it hurts my soul.
One day.
@@oOTheMuffinManOo We the people, we the problem.
We’re also the solution.
Being able to point it out is just the first step to shift the momentum in a new direction, especially accounting for the three fingers pointing back at us and the one pointing to the truth of what we can do about it.
People give up at, “it is what it is.”
Yeah, so, what are you gonna do about it?
Keep waiting for one day? Or point your thumbs to your heart and say, “Day one.” ?
@@tiffinysanchez2312 you can't force someone to be accountable they have to do it of their own freewill and know why they're doing it.
Too many out here don't even know why they say what they say or think what they think.
Just going through the motions of life.
@@oOTheMuffinManOo I agree. It seems to me that even less are observing what the motions are being gone through where they’ll be willing to hear someone else’s opinion or idea without feeling threatened in some way by it or trying to control it.
It’s learned helplessness.
This happens and I feel this way and react this way. Most people can observe that much and they avoid feeling what they don’t want to feel and think like instead of digging deeper into it and seeing what else is possible through a shift in focus, a shift in breathing, and a shift in how they feel about handling what they don’t want repeating differently.
That’s the part that people accept as what is, though, the reactivity to external circumstances, and think they can’t do anything about it for themselves or anyone else (like their children who are the ones who count most to lead) to be in a position to inspire rather than force others to what they feel even *might* be possible through the clarity of their own example, not needing someone else to accept, agree and align in order to continue down that path for themselves.
Yay so glad he came on a show where he won't get interrupted constantly!
He has looong and very eloquent trains of thought that reveal themselves as he walks us through each sentence. I appreciate that...
Yes except for the constant commercial adds which is by choice 🤑
I thought the same 😂😂
Got to be my most favorite interview out side of Dr Joe D. The way this man articulated his feelings/words was beyond brilliant. ❤❤❤ thank you for another amazing show. Respect
Totally, not forgetting Gregg Braden ! Huge ! Yes, total Respect.
Unity, is so vital right now, sharing as a collective, we are all leaders striving for peace, love, light and harmony with Love being the driving force, can and will change our world.
I love that I can wake up every day knowing the teachers of the collective will have some amazing knowledge for us all. Thank you for helping humanity in our cosmic journey
I can attest to the importance of building a real relationship with a teacher, having a tightknight community, and a well structured gradual path with clear instruction. As a student of the Karuna School, I've awakened, healed, and grown personally and spiritually more in the past year and a half of studying with John than I have in the past decade of DIY spirituality by simply choosing from the buffet of teachings available these days. The collective challenges we face in this era are calling for us to organize against empire and reclaim the mystery school tradition, our spiritual heritage which has been robbed and hidden from us. There is huge momentum behind samsara and we need an equally strong counter force of love to turn the wheel the other way... and its starting to manifest. Little pockets of sacred world are beginning to sprout up everywhere. What a time to incarnate! Hope to see some of you in the sangha next year 😁
Remember that love does not stand against... It stands FOR. 🥰🙏🏼🪷
@ethanbabbage4336 Hey Ethan, wondering what the process of becoming student of John was like? How much does it cost ?
What is the Karuna School?
8:47 “We have an opportunity here that we have trauma about because we’ve failed many times.”
Such profound truth spoken out so plainly, simply, humbly. Ty ty ty🙏This was just the wording that I needed to see that this is the “dark cloud“ I’ve sensed followed me around since childhood. This is why life has always been so surreal to me. This is the thing I’ve needed to remember. It’s really a relief to hear others speak of it so unsuperstitiously, confidently and openly 🙏💜
This hits home as a man who is walking the path alone, and really font know anyone who is on the path in my personal life. People call me a hippy or weird due to my beliefs and thoughts on whats really happening. Speaking on a system for ppl is what a lot need
I'm a truck driver from California so I don't even need to talk to be a wierd hippy
Bro, I’m the same way. I’m walking this path alone, I’ve tried to connect with people but it’s hard. Everyone thinks I’m crazy. I keep telling myself that at this moment during this transition I have to walk alone, but some day soon in the near future, I will be reunited with my soul friends.
Perhaps we are all finding or soul tribe right here cos we don’t fit in with “normal” & have an inner calling to do something more to save our world & return civilisation to some form of sanity instead of what they’ve all accepted it as 🤔
The modern slavery system just as not working for so many of us as we witnessed the ignorance of politicians & business people & narcissists hell bent on destroying everything for their materialistic needs - it’s time for change and I believe it’s well overdue!
Warriors of the light - or the New Earth Army he calls it the Dharma Army 😊🥷💫
Is it time to align with our calling and souls purpose 🌟
Namaste' Allansowell.... not alone there dude, my footprints are beside yours on that path too!...along with so many of us "different" folks!. It's been 60 trips around the sun and I'm just finding the few in our tribe that are growing exponentially! Lots of us...let's celebrate our authentic hippiehood/ and deep minds!
You are walking "alone" with so many 👣✨🙏✨👣 Blessings from Northern California 🕯️
"Beliefs are psychoactive"
".. the body is not initiated/developed properly, therefore you cannot remember..." This is 100% true. I went through an amazing waking up ("Mystic" experience) 30. years ago, was catapulted step by step up through at least 6 "ladder steps" or layers. Now, Love is the thing that still sticks in my memory. For each "level up" there were more and more love present( a being pulled me up and showed me) I remember crying (out of love and amezement of the beauty of the system we are inside/part of. More and more joy, tears, rivers of emotions as love exploded my consciousness..Truth and love. This man knows things.
I hope John Churchill gives credit to Ken Wilber's immense contributions around human/adult development, whose insights are being discussed in this podcast, he even uses concepts that Wilber coined, like pre/trans fallacy.
They both give Ken Wilbur the credit in the middle of the podcast. And recommend his latest book Finding Radical Wholeness
Waking up is only the beginning.
True! That’s when the real work begins!
Waking up is showing up. Then it all begins.
Waking up is an eternal process
Remaining that way is another ball game 😅
Staying up is more challenging 😅
I think the light army needs to organise itself into Round Tables as they did back in the time of King Arthur. Thank you for this wonderful discussion.🙏
Love your idea of the round table. Thank you for putting it out there!
If the majoprity of the globe can form a personal opinion on something like trump then we can unite and form a movement its all about TRENDING we are talking about conciousness make it bright make it big make it possitive fill it with love and watch them flock. The youngies are the ones to work on they are the future and the creators of trends get them onboard then we got a movement they have lost faith and disrespect because there is no movement and they dont even know themselves what is the point of fighting a losing battle when we talk about chrismas we pass on warm feelings and chrismas becomes every kids smash hit day if we pass on a feeling like we are on the cusp (chrismas eve) of a huge event unfolding yep it needs to be an NRG eveybody needs to feel it and it needs a catilist I been a fool my whole life I wish I could just take one for the team this is how i usualy show them jokes on me and now you see type scenerio.
I had the exact same thought. We also need mothering in a strong and nurturing capacity. The mind and the heart coherence that includes and integrates and has compassion for all experience while empowering us each and all to exercise their God given gifts for the benefit of the individual & collective & earth. A healthy, supported, empowered FAMILY whose collective voices and actions infuse the earth with golden change. ✨️ 🫂✨️
I noticed the subscriber of your channel right now is 369.
It is literally the key to understand the universe base on Tesla's quote.
Nikola Tesla is alleged to have stated: “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6, and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.”
I noticed that too lol
🕊️🙏 SHLAMA shalom names nameste dear soul~ I was # 9 on likes 👍😁🧈 smooth like butta lol
I prefer teachers who dont honor so many advertising add because they don"t choose that option. Its a good way to tell who is real and who is in for the 🤑🤑🤑
@@pinkifloyd7867andre is doing so much work putting these podcasts together. He needs to have some sources to make a living as well. To make such priceless information available to us for free, he is choosing to stand behind products and services he believes to be good. I may not agree with the ad, but i can respect and appreciate that we all need to make a living.
I’m really grateful for the amazing content he continues to provide week after week- all for free to us! Thank you Andre
Man....Bro....Andre. What a gift. Thank you so much, straight from my heart - and John thank you, thank you. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I already feel like I want to immediately go back and listen to it over again. ❤ The piece where John talks about viewing from within our physicality AND also from that broad and expanded perspective, simultaneously - and how that capacity for both at once is something that becomes standard at a certain level - really resonated and felt....(familiar?) true.
So many things began to make sense as John explained various aspects of this curriculum, with emphasis on the way it is best integrated cooperatively rathet than sampled a la carte.
This feels so important, and yes, absolutely inevitable.
Oh, and I can't wait to talk to the dolphins!
I sat with this for a few days and feel compelled to voice the following.
It strongly concerns me the concept of building new hierarchical structures within a movement towards species wide awakening.
If history has taught us anything it is that hierarchical structures lend themselves to abuse and corruption.
I strongly feel that the goal needs to focus on the way we connect via source as this is the only body with the wisdom to guide, connect, inspire with the level required to balance the complexity that is needed to maintain momentum.
Hierarchies have time and time again been the eventual catalyst for dissolving wisdom.
Having access to guidance and wisdom is important but in this time it is not required to be centralized and absolutely should not be.
This path can and should be guided through individuals primarily by source.
Encouraging individuals to find connection patiently through self reflection should be available to those beings who are ready to begin their journey as individuals to discover their connection.
Remember who is driving this shift and have faith in the process.🙏❤♾️✌️
I love and appreciate this interview so much. I have been obsessed or "called"(I assume) to write a comforting global Children's book for the displaced children in the world. That part would be easy but I see it coming with a teddy bear and string back pack to make it extremely difficult. It's hard enough to publish a book in our new economy, as a small business owner. But I know I have to do it. The book wrote itself. Getting the teddy bears and string backpacks for the displaced children in the world is a whole new challenge. I pray if I just follow my calling, opportunities will present themselves. 🙏. Thank you for this very important conversation!
Oh what a lovely idea I have felt the same about certain books I’ve started them but couldn’t draw and now started researching illustrators and self publishing! I hope you get your ideas to fruition maybe ask someone for help on social media as to how you could implement the plan to reach the children in need / if you already have the book finished Maybe some charity or philanthropist would help or guide you in the next steps! I think it’s an amazing idea 🙏
@@ladyalexander2003 Thank you for the kind words. 🙏 I found Lulu Publishing last night! It looks like that might be the one! This website offers so much help and lets you know exactly what the cost will be and guides you through the whole process from beginning to end. You might Google that! 💞
Please stick with it!
Synchronicity & the very authenticity of your dream (Calling) will make it possible.
For example - there may be a corporation out there who would love to associate with your mission - & so would happily fund it. Or - someone famous who has the same cause close to their heart (Dolly Parton & Levar Burton both come to mind - because of the books/reading angle).
So many ways for your seeming big wish to materialise.
Thank you both SO much! The power of encouraging words is all the difference, as you know! @ladyalexander2003 sometimes just picking up the pen and beginning is all it takes. It just flows. Godspeed to you both! Much love and appreciation to you both. Namaste🙏
@@Kellyann56-cr7ib P.s. Something like a teddy could be vacuum-packed - turning it really small for transport. It's how they ship soft toys from China.
You know you _have_ to execute & complete this project - before Synchronicity will show you the next job it (your Higher Self) has lined up for you!
Good luck & Godspeed too!
Andre, your question about the assemblage of people, putting in the structure for those to move forward, is very important and is an inevitability. It really can't be stopped. As much as that which has come before us, there's no stopping in the change we feel in our heart.
Excellent, excellent interview, got so much out of it, especially confirmation of my path and all the work I've been doing. In particular the collective generational healing hit home. Thank you for this podcast ❤
I love this podcast. It’s so Synchronistic.
I am practicing fifth person perspective art right now. I get a group of Artist together and we all work on one or two canvases together. Our egos are put aside, and we allow for all of the visual language from all of the artist to be placed onto a canvas. The art created is amazing but most importantly we have the best time creating it!
Thank you, both of you and the people watching for bringing this into awareness. Love your podcast Andre !
Having the right motivation and taking care of enough of our personal stuff is extremely important preliminary light work!
Can you imagine that "Western psychiatrists" and their "drug therapies" are very far, far away from Jung's "spiritual sense of things"? Joseph Campbell also was a spiritual "generalist" who gathered various traditions into a "human instinct" common to everyone. My modern western Buddhism is an example of spiritual "multiplicities" available to seekers of wisdom that re-connects our materialistic pretensions into ancient spiritual disciplines providing new versions of old guiding principles. Help us reinvigorate the "spirit" of "Thou shalt not kill" back into a human consciousness that has been warped into a violent matrix of all against all, the spectre of individualism having shrunk our natural desires for peace and serenity.
Thank you my Heir Host John for attending unto our OWN! Love you too! Remember thy shared "i" AM came with sincere conversations, and thy shared Feet! Mileage from thy feet is recognize!
❤❤❤ " We are bottom dwellers ". Omgoddess thanks for the chuckle.
I’m in only 20 minutes and I have chills. This resonates so deeply. Thank you Andre for the invaluable work you do!🙏🏼
I got chills too. It must be resonating on a deep level!❤
At some points, I felt like I was listening to Alan Watts. Great conversation
Mine is 667’th like, all is interconnected, nothing is random. God is love! Illuminating podcast, it should be thought in schools.
Much love to you all ✌️
Tuesday is my favorite day 🥰 UA-cam University!
Please get Loren Lockman or John saint Julien Baba Wanyama on the podcast!!!
Truly legendary people.
(Albeit they are incredibly busy so it may be difficult, but absolutely worth everybody’s time, including their own I think.)
I completely agree
Beloved unfortunately many have forgotten! There's a judgment and Justice!
Divine Justice (Omraam)❤
So powerful. Thank you both. I, too, have no one I can talk to about all this awareness that is opening or the challenges of healing past traumas and not letting triggers pull me into reactivity. The teachings on cleaning up while waking up are so encouraging where I am right now. And the idea that I have to achieve perfection before I transition is so comforting. I'm on the path snd my heart is open ❤
Oops! That I DON'T have to achieve perfection, lol. Case in point!
I love and thank you for respecting your guests, never cutting them off or jumping in with your own story.
This was such a great interview with so much insights. ❤
I’ve come here right after the podcast with Dr Gilbert under which I shared my personal perspective that I’m not too sure about this somewhat urgent need to ‚fulfil your karmic contract’ or otherwise we will all get in trouble kinda thing... now listening to this, although incredibly interesting as it is, I find it makes a simple thing rather complex. In the meantime, I caught a glimpse of a short clip of Eckhart Tolle talking about helping others in their spiritual development... following that clip I watched a few others, and have come to realise the simplicity and purity of his wisdom. To my knowledge he’s not followed a prescribed, multi-layered! Complicated spiritual path to awakening... he simply awakened. And anyone who knows him, knows that he is perhaps one of the most advanced teachers that have ever walked this Earth. To reiterate my point from the other comment, spiritual journey doesn’t have to be, and I think shouldn’t be, overly complicated and prescribed. Yes, there is wisdom available and paths to follow, but it will no doubt happen to you when it’s due to happen, and it will happen the way it is meant to happen. No amount of fancy transmutations, breathing, insight, meditation, etc will do anything until you naturally realise the profound truth of who you really are, and that happens quietly inside your heart, inside your mind, and likely in a moment you least expect it. So anchor yourself in simplicity, anchor yourself in your Heart, the rest will happen. And then if you feel like diving deep into fancy transmutation work then do so, but know that’s not where you find God within.
⚡️EPIC! 🪄✨️💖 This conversation takes humanity to the next level! Gratitude! 🙏🏻🌏
8:17 we’ll said 8:17 ❤
Oh my gosh! You’re speaking my language yes, we all came here with different skill sets for a reason! Celebrating our differences and what we can ADD. What lights us up, what we’re passionate about…
WE know HOW!!!
Fabulous interview with such useful advice. It makes so much sense that only when you're 'cleaned up' and 'restructured' you ought to take the next step, across the veil into other dimensions. I wish more teachers would talk about this. There is so much talk that almost comes across as advertising for quantum jumping these days, some make it sounds that it's a new way of taking little short holiday breaks to somewhere new extraordinary and magnificent. Can you imagine the potential damage that could be done if everyone was let loose into the universe, even those who still carry all that heavy trauma baggage around with them within their soul!? Thank you John and Andre for this great interview.
THANK YOU. Bless our brother Ken Wilber. Health and prosperous being. So grateful for this alignment.
at stage 4.5 here (intuitively feel) and literally started my UA-cam 3 days ago to find my tribe
Another amazing and entertaining podcast. You’re good at what you do! Thank you!
Wow! What an opener to this podcast! Unbeatable!
Absolutely key 🔑 in these days we are facing “ in time”.
The faster we are self actualized- the better. We are complete. ( but you need to actualize it). Profound guest.
All I have to say to you is THANK YOU,,,THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO, IT SPEAKS MY TRUTH❤
Be Here Now - Ram Dass 1971
It is one of the best podcasts, that amount of intellect and wisdom was something amazing.
This was enlightening, educational, approachable, and hopeful! Thank you both! All of it resonates deeply with me.
Andre, you rock! Thank you for all you do. I’ve learned so much from your podcast. If I ever get bold enough to start my own podcast, I would absolutely love to have you on as a special guest!
What an insightful perspective on our planet's journey! 🌍 Aligning with Earth's unfolding process seems pivotal for our spiritual and collective evolution.
My mom died of cancer when I was 22, 11 years ago. I've done a lot of crying since but over the past 8 years I haven't really cried over her. I began the practice of Focusing last year and was surprised to uncover that the feeling of "being down" I had one day was apparently related to having lost both of my parents. Since then I've been trying to attune to my body and uncover any other emotions that want to be expressed but couldn't find any. Today, after hearing John talk about the White Tara 1:40:50, I figured let's try this practice of visualization. I played the mantra and had an image of White Tara in front of me. I closed my eyes and the image of White Tara gently brushing my hair with her hand and placing her hand on my cheeks appeared. I enacted the actions, and all of the sudden, I felt love and kindness, and tears began streaming down my face.
Now I'm left wondering, wow, how much do I not know and what else is going under there?!
Thank you Andre and John!
I'm so glad to be brought here today. There's so much to learn. ❤
Retiring my job and going gardening
I am in complete trust that God/Source/Universe is providing everything we need in order to bring about the new world. I feel much of the time that I am already here. I can see all of us in celebration for a job weill done. The end is absolutely assured. I don't have to worry about how it is to come about. I remain in trust, and next right actions, for myself, for Us, continue to reveal themselves and unfold, divinely, perfectly, beautifully.
I’m here … Thanks for showing up finally🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🌺🐝
Excellent Information. Thank-you for these deep conversations that facilitate awakening. The real work comes after waking up !
I’m so thrilled with this podcast! 🙏😇💝
I’ll watch it many times and take notes. It explains so much about where I am 4.5-5, doing cleanup and wondering why Awakening wasn’t the ticket. Feeling pressure to keep going and why it matters. Thank you so much for this diagram of it and what’s next. 💜💖❤️🩹🌈
Same! This resonates so strongly and provides beautiful clarity. I feel as if I'm stabilizing in the 4.5-5 zone and my work has been in healing, cleaning up, and restructuring. It is wonderful! 🥰🙏🏼🪷✨
As I lay in bed and listen to your pod casts
I can listen more intently taking in the peace I want to say your setting there makes it easy to listening to at night.
The phone is not glaring bright at night.
I also like most of your speakers and yourself André are relaxing voices. Thank you susan
This is amazing Andre! Thank you John - my heart is full.
Great episode. I concur with the great need for accessible initiation processes. Accessibility also includes an element of affordability. The commercialization of spirituality is often a deterrent to people who are ready and need that extra element…
> Strange how things manifest in terms of the inward journey. Dharma Warrior in the making. 🙏 😎 🙏
I've had more trauma than a person should ever grow up with and what he is saying is true. Its impossible to hurry through processing this said trauma. I recently went through a hard time because I was all of the sudden able to process stuff that I had been trying to figure out for 30 yrs. The dots connected on some stuff that I wasn't really thinking about. I don't think our mind, or our brain will let us experience x amount of pain if it can help it. I just find it extremely weird how I finally connected dots that I had forgot about? My point is, you cant just put your head down and rush through it. It takes a long time to figure out
You're not wrong. ❤
Agree I have spent decades figuring out my deep complex trauma , it finally begins to makes sense the many layers. Cant be rushed
Amazingly awesome conversation, Andre and John. 3 deep bows.
LOVE LOVE! BEST TEACHING EVER! I MAY LOVE LOVE RICE & PEAS BUT IT CANNOT BE READY UNTIL THE TIME & THE REST OF THE SEASONS ARE REALLY READY! THANK YOU BOTH!❤❤❤
This is hands down one of the most important and well explained talks I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. So much of this has been hard to put into words for me. I don't have the extensive vocabulary for a lot of the systems and practices and this is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for everything
Yes. From my own experience, I had a spontaneous top down kundalini awakening, but it was the cognitive work I engaged in afterwards along with mindfulness practice that helped me integrate the experience. And it’s an ongoing process. Kundalini is what kicked me into gear. Someone very close to me only works with mystical states, and she has delusional thinking and says her way is the absolute truth. Spiritual work entails always questioning one’s own judgements and perspectives. Children need to learn this!
This was enlightening
Andre! You are such a stud. You are an incredible interviewer and are so well informed. Great job!
Total resonance...Every thoughts that have been verbalized here resonate with my self, to and from wholeness...So precious to feel we're not isolated in these visions we're downloading so Thanks to you two beautiful generous beings for Sharing,
I have to say this was one of the most informative interviews that I have heard on your channel. All others have been superior as well. However, this one had me thinking, stoping the program to reflect as well as taking detailed notes. I'm glad I broke the recording into 2 listening sessions because this way I was fully engaged. The entire program was full of wisdom. Thank you for your work here and for sharing your phenomenal guests. You are truly making a difference in the world.
Gosh Annnndré I worship this podcast. It’s everything a seeker needs to awaken ❤ blows my heart open that are so so many wonderful people contributing to the inner “eye opening” here on hot concentrated free media channel! ❤ thank you for bringing these amazing gifts (people) to the mic 🙏👏🫶
I never comment on anything but have to say Andre you are truly a gift, so genuine, kind, and after binging all of your videos I am so impressed with how you read all of your guest’s books etc. Thank you for everything you are doing, I feel so renewed as a human and can’t wait to follow your journey, I sense you are going to make quantum leaps from here :-) Speaking of quantum may I suggest Shehnaz Soni as a guest, the two of you in dialogue would be amazing!
Isn't it an amazing place & time that we live in. The podcast is a gem.
I took his 4th turning workshop, I find Dr John to be really interesting and I hope to find a way to study with him again. Thank you for having him on I am on my 2nd listen,

I loved this conversation. The Dharma Army 🤩 count me in 😊 I loved the phrase “you can’t get there by getting there.”
A truth I know but that just hit a little bit more. I was listening while I walked, and as he was talking about sacred world, I just felt like there’s already that avatar world if all possibilities exist outside of time, and if we all dropped the lens of separation and brokenness, would it already be here…. I know there’s more nuance to it and our actions have caused actual “realities”, but it was just a really interesting feeling as I was walking and listening. Thank you as always for the work that you are doing.
I am fascinated that I should find this talk today after having many of these thoughts yesterday and today. This was very helpful to my own understanding of where I am🙏
I love these videos, the knowledge is amazing. At 2 hrs. and 44 mins., its just to long. An hour is good for me, I max out at about one and 1/2 hour
One of the most helpful resonant pods I’ve ever heard! Thank you Djedis! 🙏😘
😇💗🫂♾️🆒🌎🌐💠✨
I love the way higher educated people relabel everything "calm stay"grounding?!
I'm ready for sacred world!

i am always impressed by the colors/lighting of these podcast, looks beautiful in 4k
I love love love this interview and I thank you for bringing human and consciousness development to the table. One remark - Wayne Dyer was quoting Max Plank when he was saying “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”.
One of the things that’s stood out to me on this journey is the flood of synchronicities. Early on it started with seeing repeating numbers multiple times daily and that has certainly intensified but also in other things like thinking about someone and the person reaching out. But most importantly how timely these conversations are. Through out my journey, these videos have come to me exactly when I need them most. Starting from finding Alan Watts years ago after watching a “random” after skool video to finding Rupert Spira (who I would love for you to have a conversation with) and all the other teachers that have contributed to where I am today. Now to this video popping up pretty much in the middle of me integrating and doing shadow work which hasn’t been easy at all. It’s all quite reassuring, not like I had any doubt but it definitely helps make the process easier. Thank you both. 🙏🏽♥️
Some even cooler personal details are the conversation about ADD/ADHD and his interpretation of that from a sacred perspective, that resonated strongly. And then the weirdly spot on example of retiring (resigning in my case) and becoming a gardener, I did exactly that a couple years ago.
Thank you Andre for being the willing voice helping/reminding us of alternative ways of thinking and being. Simply thank you and all our other selves for our coming together in this way. I am thanking my self for the first time for tuning in at this moment for being part of all of this. How grand is Life 🙏🏼🎶🙏🏼
"Our planet is like middle school....obviously." 😂😂 This gave me a chuckle, because its true! 🤭
Ascend-gers unite! Hahahahha. Love that.
What a lovely conversation 💗🌟💞
SOUL FOOD my guys. Haven't had the words/framework to express my own emergence into what I'm feeling is somewhere in the 4.5-5.0 developmental perspective laid out here. Thank you for sharing this way of being that's been cultivated from the Perennial traditions, Eastern and Western. I'm enlisting in the "Dharma Army" as we speak. :) Any added pointers towards connection/next steps, I'm all ears!
I've woken up to this... must have fallen asleep watching previous podcasts... will watch later. I know everyone is on their own journey but it can be frustrating seeing people to continue hurting themselves and others through having such narrow minded views. Namaste beautiful souls!!! 💖
Thank You 🙏 I hope the developers of Building the Dharma Army John speaks of & we so desperately need - Build that in a gifting economy 📿 Otherwise it’s all just same spiritual global economic paradigm that is only available to those that can afford & thus the army never really builds & the sacred story is arrested & majority just keep getting busy working & surviving !!!
Thank u both ❤
I am all in, brothers🕸
