Question – “Hello John, Do you have any thoughts or experiences on the third eye? It’s more represented in other cultures (Indian mostly, no? and the “spiritual” culture too). I once dreamt with it although it’s something that I don’t think too much about… Maybe we (humans) have some physical or energetic thing in between the eyes linked with this […]

Questions – “Hi John, Why and how did you choose yoga, John? How was it helping in your process and how necessary a regular activity or moving your body is for enlightenment?” “Hello John, I have become conscious of how much time I spend with my cellphone and I am begining to try some strategies to […]

Questions – “Hi John,In one of the episodes I asked about food, you said it covers a lot.. can you talk a little more about this?I like to know about your current process but it feels too far from me, giving up on food.What would you say to the people that just want to bring […]

Questions – “I wanted to ask a question regarding something you mentioned in your book about putting restrictions and limitations on ourselves.Why do we do that?And what’s the point of it if really all we want is to be free?Why not just stay free as a child into adulthood and the rest of our lives?” […]

Questions and comments- “What do you think would happen if we knew “our question,” would we not want to keep watching the movie of our lives?” Macarena Asensio in Barcelona“I was thinking about the fact that we can’t see our backs, and how it was the same as how we can’t see our own blind […]

Questions –“November 1st is “All saints day” here..people eat special foods, some go to the cemetery and me and a friend are organizing a Mexican altar at home: everyone will bring something of their loved one that passed away, and will share their memories,it’s supposed to be a moving but also fun and kind of […]

Question – “A few weeks ago I felt jealous. I’ve always said that “I’m not a jealous person,” but later in life I realized that some things can be a trigger for me.  It could be that a colleague that has my same background and age is getting more opportunities and moving faster in his career.  Or […]

Questions – “I don’t know if I need a context for the meme, ‘You don’t get what you want you get who you are,’ because… Imagining that someone is getting some (shit emoji) from life(as it could happen from time to time)couldn’t this belief make them feel guilty and like they themselves are (shit emoji)? Looking […]

Questions – “Why do we have unconsciousness in the first place? We seem to be the only beings in nature that have it. Is this a cosmic joke or what?” “Have you done this exercise where you track your line of thoughts until the first one? Can you talk about it?”  “Why did you choose […]

Question –“How do you prepare yourself to record the podcast? Do you write before, does it comes to your mind while talking?” “After you first sensed that there was something greater than you that you loved and it loved you back… can I ask (if this is not too personal) how did this relationship evolve […]

Question –“You mentioned the cosmic joke a few times. Can you explain what that means to you? Thanks!” Photo by Nicolas I. on Unsplash

Question –“Don’t you have some enlightened friend John?” “I sometimes had to work / live / deal with people with a kind of energy that’s… (I don’t know which word I need) like they tend to be defensive and create conflict out of nothing and attack with words, expressions, trying to make you feel bad […]

Question –“I’ve noticed that you don’t talk about chakras, or at least you don’t name them like that. Do you sense them though? In yourself or people that have sessions with you? If so… could you talk about them and their peculiarities?” Rupert Sheldrake’s websitehttps://www.sheldrake.org/ If you have a question or a subject you would like me to […]

Question –“I’ve listened to a Barry Long video called, ‘The way to enlightenment.’In that video, he talks about heartbreak, and how it could help us to get rid of illusions. I’ve experienced it myself and I thought it would be nice if you could talk about heartbreak and its role in the growing consciousness.” If you have […]

Question in response to my saying something came up for me, “How is it that it came up to you? Do you mean not like a regular idea but like an intuition? If so… When / how did it start happening and how could you tell the difference with regular thoughts?“ If you have a […]
