John de Ruiter Podcast
John de Ruiter is a Canadian author and spiritual leader. He holds weekly meetings from his home base in Edmonton, Alberta, where he established the College of Integrated Philosophy in 2006. John has been offering seminars online and in Alberta since 2020, resulting in conversations with people all over the world. As an innovative voice for spiritual evolution, John de Ruiter teaches that life's meaning can be known and lived through "core-splitting honesty," a concept he discovered in his teens after a profound awakening to foundational levels of existence. Ever since, John’s life and teaching have been informed by that direct knowing. His desire to communicate these ideas led to two books, “The Intelligence of Love: Manifesting Your Being in This World” and “Unveiling Reality.” John’s teachings focus on a willingness to let go of your ego and desires: He draws a distinction between your self and your soul, as well as your mind and your being. When teaching a group, John prefers to interact with audience members one-on-one, rather than addressing a whole crowd. This method results in fascinating and intimate dialogues.

Date: May 31, 2011 Evening - Tel Aviv, Israel

Quote: Whatever you know the truth of, whether that is almost nothing at all or whether it's much, it makes no difference. You do need to believe only what you know and all of what you know. Nothing less and nothing more. Then you're home.

Title: Profound Sincerity Doesn’t Miss

Date: April 9, 2011 Afternoon - Venwoude, Lage Vuursche, The Netherlands Seminar

Quote: Profound sincerity in all of its vulnerability does in its relationship to knowledge find its way.  Within that vulnerability, the kind of vulnerability that sincerity knows, don’t lose heart. Don’t lose heart by in all of the little things, giving your heart to what you know the truth of, within. It doesn’t matter how little that can seem to be. All that matters is that what you do really know the truth of within has your heart, despite all of the difficulty that that may put your self in.

Title: Being Free of Your Thinking Mind

Date: April 9, 2011 Afternoon - Venwoude, Lage Vuursche, The Netherlands Seminar

Quote: To come into balance in your self you will be letting what you are as awareness relax in your self. Consequent to that is a letting go of everything that you hold to through the use of your thinking mind. You will be losing the defenses that you have in place in your self. You will be landing in all of the weaknesses in your self that you have been using your strength to avoid. There is a lot that is entailed in your being free of your thinking mind.
