Product Details




“I’m going to speak in common, everyday terms about your fantasies: how you live your life
and what gets in the way.” In this way, John-Roger begins a core teaching seminar which
highlights a way we avoid being present in our lives.

“As a child, we start building the references of who we’re going to become in our life,” J-R
says. “You see, as we’re making pictures in our mind about what we think is going on, we’re not
coming present. If you don’t come present in this moment, you miss the past and you miss the
future, because you base your life upon the old reference point. If you’re going to continue on
like you have been all your life up to this point, there’s no need for wishing or hoping for anything
more than what you’re getting today because what you’re getting today is exactly what you’ve
been putting in motion all your life.”

J-R, as always, uses many stories and personal experiences of his family (disagreement with his
older brother), school (argument with a teacher about grades) and life as a teacher himself, to
illustrate his theme and to point toward a solution. He tells a particularly moving story about an
estranged couple who consulted him a long time after the tragic death of their child. J-R shows
them that they both had been carrying around the image of the dead child and their role in that
death. J-R told them, “You can’t go back. All you can do is bring everything to the present and
update the experience. I’m not saying to get rid of the experience, but what I’m suggesting is
that you update your inner picture and behavior patterns to make them more mature with what
you are presently doing so you can be happier now with what you got.”

God Bless You!
