"In this impromptu chat at a Cliff College retreat John reflects on:

what is God?

the real teacher is Presence

what is substantial?

to make whole be whole

the body is crystallised Spirit

what is Jesus?

everything is perfect as it is

in Truth nothing matters; in Ignorance everything matters

the sunshine of unconditional love

"In this impromptu chat, the second at Cliff College, John addresses:

differences between Eastern and Western Christianity

origins of 'The Jesus Prayer'

on Russia - ""These people are my people""

in the real world there is no death

when present we are 'in love' and free from fear

we can never not be in Jesus

be determined for freedom

how to deal with thoughts

whatever you attend to expands and seems more real
