"The only way hanging on can take place is to become dishonest. Then holding on is instant and letting go is an impossibility." These words were spoken by one of the most awakened teachers of our time, John De Ruiter. John explains: "If you're trying to let go and it's difficult, what's confronted is your own honesty. What's manifested in consciousness is a state of inner conflict. Part hungers to let go, because that is what is true. Another part is hanging on only because it still perceives and trusts in its own thoughts and feelings ... that there is some advantage to hanging on to that ideal or emotion or thought ... There's hope invested in the belief that someday it'll get what it has been looking for ... through hanging on. The moment consciousness that's hanging on becomes honest, it sees that it's not being congruent with itself to be in a state of holding. The moment it sees not to trust in something that's merely a perception, there's no longer any inner conflict. When consciousness is completely honest and it tries to hold to something, it can't. It is not able to. It doesn't have the capacity. Join us at the Cafe this Sunday as we give ourselves to honesty greeting each moment with the warmth and kindness that Is letting go. Love, georgette
