John Purkiss: The Power of Letting Go: How to Drop Everything That's Holding You Back


Listen Later

What if being wealthy was all about rewriting the mental software we run on?
My guest today is John Purkiss. He is the author of a truly wonderful book, a best seller called the “Power of Letting Go.”
John has had a successful corporate career first, learned mindfulness later, only to combine both in his later and current pursuits.
John studied economics at Cambridge University and began his career in banking and management consultancy. He then completed his MBA at INSEAD, where won first prize. Within three months John was diagnosed with clinical depression, which nearly proved fatal. He began searching for a solution, which led him to learn mindfulness and become an executive search consultant, recruiting senior executives and board members. He also began to invest in high-growth companies. John then learned Transcendental Meditation. In 2014 he met his guru, SPH Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.

In our conversation, we delve into how childhood experiences shape one's identity and leave a lasting impact on life. John highlights that traumatic childhood events can create pain patterns that drive success but may eventually lead to breakdown. We explore two approaches to life: living through the mind or surrendering to a higher intelligence. Embracing and merging with this higher intelligence can result in a natural life flow and magical outcomes.
There's a notable connection between consciousness and wealth; a shift in consciousness can enhance abundance. Our beliefs and expectations about money can impede our ability to manifest wealth. By disengaging from thoughts, or "unclutching," we can access a state of pure consciousness. Pain patterns or incompletions, stemming from past experiences, shape our beliefs and behaviors. Recognizing and releasing these patterns can transform our external reality.
John emphasizes that hard work alone isn't enough for success; a higher intelligence can guide us. While Western views often suggest that matter creates consciousness, Eastern traditions argue that consciousness is the source of everything, with matter being an epiphenomenon. Practices like meditation tap into this underlying consciousness that drives everything. Accessing a higher intelligence can provide answers to difficult questions. Letting go of the need to be right and considering different perspectives fosters understanding and growth. John concludes that true success means living in enlightenment, fulfilling one's potential, and manifesting health, wealth, and relationships.
