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.

Title: True Seeking Realizes. 

Date: December 16, 2012 Afternoon - Edmonton, Canada. 

Quote: There is a different level of seeking that‘s direct. It’s immediate. Without using your programs and without using your operating system, the moment you seek, you meet; the moment you seek, you’re in.

Title: Live Your Awakening

Date: January 31, 2012 Evening - Pardes Hana, Israel

Quote: You need to bring Arunachala into city life. Bring it into fast-paced complexity where it thrives, instead of it in some way being reduced to an experience in your self that you long to return to. You’re able to be what it is. It is what gives beingness to responsibility.

Title: Making Difficulty Work

Date: March 18, 2012 Evening - Edmonton, Canada

Quote: Instead of having presence through the use of personality, have presence in coming forward in a way that you’re not accustomed to, in a way that doesn’t have you relying on your personality.  Others will be seeing into you because you’ll be visible.

Title: Walking into the Light

Date: April 25, 2010 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Quote: As soon as meaning moves there is the beingness of meaning. The beingness of meaning is light. In moving more deeply into the light, in a way that is no longer familiar to your self, but much in line to what you are knowing the truth of, you’ll be responding to knowledge so deep, it won’t be light you’ll be relating to. You will be relating to just knowing.

Title: Awareness Planted in Knowing - Part II

Date: December 5, 2011 Afternoon - Byron Bay, Australia Seminar

Quote: Knowing is the continuity of everything and in everything. Without knowing, nothing holds true. Without knowing, nothing works. Whether you are planted in it as awareness or not, whether you’re living for it, living from it, living in it, it is, in everything, enabling you.

Title: Seeing, Knowing, Loving Another

Date: January 31, 2011 Evening - Pardes Hana, Israel

Quote: You need no reward in being what love is, in moving it and in giving it. When you are what love is, you’re not needing its return. Love doesn’t need to be answered. It just quietly and freely gives.

Title: Awareness Planted In Knowing

Date: December 5, 2011 Afternoon - Byron Bay, Australia Seminar

Quote: With a fundamental shift of awareness, having your awareness planted in knowing instead of in the conditioning in your self, you’re no longer attuning to personal need. Need becomes something that’s in your care and it is no longer something that you make personal.

Date: December 18, 2011 Afternoon - Edmonton, Canada

That means that as awareness, from within knowing, with all of your heart, you will be integrating your self and all of its conditioning. Your self, by you, is going to become all different.
