Letters from the Field: Awakeness Writes Itself Some Letters (Updated 11.14)

I got this letter recently, and really liked it, but I don’t have the time to respond to everything I get these days, so I sent it along to John Ames, who is brightly awake, and whom I knew would know just what to do with it. I was right. Read this guy’s letter (his name is also John), then John’s response, and finally the guy’s response. You can taste It!

So I bought your latest book [Awaken Now] on kindle. I listened to your batgap interview yesterday, I really don’t keep up much with them anymore as I got tired of a lot of it but…..I also read through your brief booklet yesterday as well. I must say something has shifted. If asked if I was awake I would say no not yet but then something intercedes and cancels that thought as in not believing thoughts. For some reason I regardless of hearing this felt something would happen to this unit. The clarity I think was in realizing it was already there and this unit was just part of it and it would not be enlightened. Not sure. That’s the main thing this morning, I’m not sure. I do feel much more expansive and realize when I am in my head believing thought there is constriction and location just in the body. Then for some reason there is this feeling that thought is lying and again more expansion. I will start your book today. Strangely it’s like I feel I won’t get more from it. That could either be mind being afraid or the recognition that this is it……we’ll see……..John (X).

Hi John,

Fred has read your email and has asked me to get back to you. He has become so busy with his practice that he can no longer respond to comments like yours by email, as much as he would like to do so. I have been helping Fred for several years and am quite familiar with his teaching and can give you a good idea of what Fred would advise.

First, let me say that Fred is delighted to hear that you have been affected by his work. To get that reaction is why he does it, in addition to making a living, of course. When he forwarded me your email, he said, “Here’s a good one.”  I can see why. A great deal of what you suggest is familiar to me and a great many others who have been involved in spiritual pursuits. There is a sense of being tired of all the gab, as well as the suspicion that what you are feeling might be somehow fallacious. Fred would add that you should also recognize that something is percolating in the system. He has often said that he is the last door on the spiritual block. Those who wind up on his stoop have very often seen it all. You may be a little jaded. Fred would further advise you to avoid predicting the consequences. Most importantly, don’t overthink it. Just read what you read, and notice what happens. Your next move may appear out of nowhere; in fact, it will have to.

Love,

John (Ames)

Thank you. I just finished his latest book in one extended sitting. All I can report is I feel extremely dizzy like massive Shaktipat as close as I could explain it. Just a tremendous amount of energy. The whole time it seemed so clear and yet yes I have done it all and read it all so I expected to say, ya pretty good maybe I’ll check later. But since I felt such a deep hit yesterday I was curious. Today’s seems much more potent. No place really for John to argue, it was seen and…….I don’t know really beyond that. Just a little stunned. I will read and listen to some more when this energy becomes less intense. And after the new year I will schedule an appointment. I’m really stunned. I never expected this what ever this is to happen and I’m not sure what is happening. But as I listened to the batgap interview I knew this was it. Then the booklet and now the book. I would say I’m almost afraid to talk with Fred because I know it means my death but lol I also know now that’s just this conditioning…….i’ll report back if whatever happens happens lol Love, John (X)

Hi John (X),

I do some editing on Fred’s Website. When I went in this morning, I found this page that Fred put up last night. He thought your experience would be inspiring to others, anonymously.

? reading it lol makes the energy just pour through me like a fire or hurricane. I have wanted desperately to wake and never believed I could, not realizing I was even doing inquiry wrong and sort of inside out. Even now John wants to say yes but, and then I hear Fred say “answer honestly” and I have to say “yes I see it and yes i am that.” Relax is the best teaching now and not let the mind co opt this. I love you both so much right now and more intimately than myself…..
