___________
Born in London, Dr. Churchill's interest in psycho-spiritual development, Integral theory, Contemplative studies, Western Esotericism, and Mahayana Buddhism began in his adolescence, eventually leading him to spend several years as a Buddhist monk at Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland. During this time, John received the esoteric Planetary Dharma transmissions that would in time unfold as his contribution to a planetary fourth turning teaching.
For the last 25 years, John has developed a a Fourth Turning Planetary Dharma practice which includes the somatically based contemplative practice path; Embodying the Open Ground, that integrates psychodynamic healing, adult development and meditation.
John holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College, and is a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

For all the comments addressing the real work coming after the "wake up" I strongly suggest finding a community that provides a supportive environment. We all need to feel we are not alone on this journey...and we are NOT, but the structures are still being built. Find your "Tribe" as Andre says. This KZbin Community is great, but you also need a more interactive personal group to share and grow with . They are out there!! Find yours. Much Love to you Andre for the dissemination of Beautiful Truth. ❤

How Humankind Came To Be “...Since it’s the new year, I should have said a few festive words that everyone likes to hear, but I see danger is getting closer and closer to mankind. Because of this, Gods and Buddhas asked me to tell all beings in the world a few words that the Gods wish to say. Every word reveals heavenly secrets, and the purpose is for people to know the truth and be given another opportunity to be saved.” * Why the Creator Seeks to Save All Life “...The Creator is the Lord of all gods in the cosmic realm, and He is the maker of the Lord of all lords, and the King of all kings. He commands all beings, including all humans, gods, and things in the Three Realms, which He has created. His love is the ultimate holy grace for sentient beings! It is the greatest honor for the world’s people to be loved by Him!” New articles by Master Li Hongzhi on Minghui website

Dear Andre, Dear John: This podcast has had me up all night, I literally skipped the night. I suffered from low spirits over the past time, because it all seems so hopeless out there, yet I see it differently, I feel it differently. Here in this podcast both of You lay out the map how the evolution will go down, how those of us who have the capacity will implement the change. So than k You! Your work goes far, it reaches around the globe, it even reached me in Switzerland.

[@rachellapham911]

The worst part about “waking up” is existing daily with those who have not at work…. and wondering how I can adjust my career to surround myself with more individuals who are…

[@AngelaSpenceley]

I can relate to this Rachell. I would submit that as you continue your journey, you will be called to surround yourself with folks who resonate more closely with where you are going. I know that can seem scary but i have found you will just naturally attract a new type of soul to you as you continue to raise your vibration. Just shine your light and BE regardless of whom you are in contact with - awake or not ! ❤ - In Love and Light

[@fuzzytraveller8588]

Lol tell me about it! Also going through Kundalini awakening and it hits me 🤣 but its okay, i will survive and thrive

[@km-du2ww]

When you have that sensation of unconditional love, you understand at the same time how to love people for where they are in their journey. One should not forget where you were at the beginning of yours, otherwise you are at risk of becoming spiritually proud and you will lose what you gained. You have to be careful to stay humble, it is the people that have not awakened yet that need us to lead by example and our awakening stories give them hope if they are genuinely interested to change their ways.

[@aaronjamesparker9007]

I went through this stage and would like to share with you that I have realized that I am right where I need to be. I set an example for unawakened souls of the highest possible standard that I am capable of and commit to the process of using love and compassion to gently inspire shifts and those around me. It is a difficult place to arrive at but this is how it grows. ♾️❤️

[@4XtraOrdinaryMen]

Remaining in the state of oneness means that we don't see ourselves as separate from others. We understand everybody is on their journey. Everyone will see the light, so to speak, in their own time.

[@ethanbabbage4336]

I can attest to the importance of building a real relationship with a teacher, having a tightknight community, and a well structured gradual path with clear instruction. As a student of the Karuna School, I've awakened, healed, and grown personally and spiritually more in the past year and a half of studying with John than I have in the past decade of DIY spirituality by simply choosing from the buffet of teachings available these days. The collective challenges we face in this era are calling for us to organize against empire and reclaim the mystery school tradition, our spiritual heritage which has been robbed and hidden from us. There is huge momentum behind samsara and we need an equally strong counter force of love to turn the wheel the other way... and its starting to manifest. Little pockets of sacred world are beginning to sprout up everywhere. What a time to incarnate! Hope to see some of you in the sangha next year 😁

I listen to podcasts like this because of the energetic exchange. Thank you for saying that there’s a “disenchantment,” but it’s much more than that. Complete dissociation and denial of the accountability of our actual effect on each other.

Lmao yes! I can literally go out into the streets and point to this left and right and look like a mad man when in reality... They're the ones that are insane.

One day.

@@oOTheMuffinManOo We the people, we the problem. We’re also the solution. Being able to point it out is just the first step to shift the momentum in a new direction, especially accounting for the three fingers pointing back at us and the one pointing to the truth of what we can do about it. People give up at, “it is what it is.” Yeah, so, what are you gonna do about it? Keep waiting for one day? Or point your thumbs to your heart and say, “Day one.” ?

[@oOTheMuffinManOo]

@@tiffinysanchez2312 you can't force someone to be accountable they have to do it of their own freewill and know why they're doing it. Too many out here don't even know why they say what they say or think what they think. Just going through the motions of life.

[@tiffinysanchez2312]

@@oOTheMuffinManOo I agree. It seems to me that even less are observing what the motions are being gone through where they’ll be willing to hear someone else’s opinion or idea without feeling threatened in some way by it or trying to control it. It’s learned helplessness. This happens and I feel this way and react this way. Most people can observe that much and they avoid feeling what they don’t want to feel and think like instead of digging deeper into it and seeing what else is possible through a shift in focus, a shift in breathing, and a shift in how they feel about handling what they don’t want repeating differently. That’s the part that people accept as what is, though, the reactivity to external circumstances, and think they can’t do anything about it for themselves or anyone else (like their children who are the ones who count most to lead) to be in a position to inspire rather than force others to what they feel even *might* be possible through the clarity of their own example, not needing someone else to accept, agree and align in order to continue down that path for themselves.

8:47 “We have an opportunity here that we have trauma about because we’ve failed many times.” Such profound truth spoken out so plainly, simply, humbly. Ty ty ty🙏This was just the wording that I needed to see that this is the “dark cloud“ I’ve sensed followed me around since childhood. This is why life has always been so surreal to me. This is the thing I’ve needed to remember. It’s really a relief to hear others speak of it so unsuperstitiously, confidently and openly 🙏💜

[@torbjrneriksen931]

".. the body is not initiated/developed properly, therefore you cannot remember..." This is 100% true. I went through an amazing waking up ("Mystic" experience) 30. years ago, was catapulted step by step up through at least 6 "ladder steps" or layers. Now, Love is the thing that still sticks in my memory. For each "level up" there were more and more love present( a being pulled me up and showed me) I remember crying (out of love and amezement of the beauty of the system we are inside/part of. More and more joy, tears, rivers of emotions as love exploded my consciousness..Truth and love. This man knows things.

[@chavilahroberts8871]

Man....Bro....Andre. What a gift. Thank you so much, straight from my heart - and John thank you, thank you. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I already feel like I want to immediately go back and listen to it over again. ❤ The piece where John talks about viewing from within our physicality AND also from that broad and expanded perspective, simultaneously - and how that capacity for both at once is something that becomes standard at a certain level - really resonated and felt....(familiar?) true. So many things began to make sense as John explained various aspects of this curriculum, with emphasis on the way it is best integrated cooperatively rathet than sampled a la carte. This feels so important, and yes, absolutely inevitable. Oh, and I can't wait to talk to the dolphins!

That part would be easy but I see it coming with a teddy bear and string back pack to make it extremely difficult. It's hard enough to publish a book in our new economy, as a small business owner. But I know I have to do it. The book wrote itself. Getting the teddy bears and string backpacks for the displaced children in the world is a whole new challenge. I pray if I just follow my calling, opportunities will present themselves. 🙏. Thank you for this very important conversation!

Please stick with it! Synchronicity & the very authenticity of your dream (Calling) will make it possible. For example - there may be a corporation out there who would love to associate with your mission - & so would happily fund it. Or - someone famous who has the same cause close to their heart (Dolly Parton & Levar Burton both come to mind - because of the books/reading angle). So many ways for your seeming big wish to materialise.

Can you imagine that "Western psychiatrists" and their "drug therapies" are very far, far away from Jung's "spiritual sense of things"? Joseph Campbell also was a spiritual "generalist" who gathered various traditions into a "human instinct" common to everyone. My modern western Buddhism is an example of spiritual "multiplicities" available to seekers of wisdom that re-connects our materialistic pretensions into ancient spiritual disciplines providing new versions of old guiding principles. Help us reinvigorate the "spirit" of "Thou shalt not kill" back into a human consciousness that has been warped into a violent matrix of all against all, the spectre of individualism having shrunk our natural desires for peace and serenity.

[@user-ss7el9ky4u]

Fabulous interview with such useful advice. It makes so much sense that only when you're 'cleaned up' and 'restructured' you ought to take the next step, across the veil into other dimensions. I wish more teachers would talk about this. There is so much talk that almost comes across as advertising for quantum jumping these days, some make it sounds that it's a new way of taking little short holiday breaks to somewhere new extraordinary and magnificent. Can you imagine the potential damage that could be done if everyone was let loose into the universe, even those who still carry all that heavy trauma baggage around with them within their soul!? Thank you John and Andre for this great interview.

My mom died of cancer when I was 22, 11 years ago. I've done a lot of crying since but over the past 8 years I haven't really cried over her. I began the practice of Focusing last year and was surprised to uncover that the feeling of "being down" I had one day was apparently related to having lost both of my parents. Since then I've been trying to attune to my body and uncover any other emotions that want to be expressed but couldn't find any. Today, after hearing John talk about the White Tara 1:40:50, I figured let's try this practice of visualization. I played the mantra and had an image of White Tara in front of me. I closed my eyes and the image of White Tara gently brushing my hair with her hand and placing her hand on my cheeks appeared. I enacted the actions, and all of the sudden, I felt love and kindness, and tears began streaming down my face. Now I'm left wondering, wow, how much do I not know and what else is going under there?! Thank you Andre and John!

[@kamilaewska1663]

I’ve come here right after the podcast with Dr Gilbert under which I shared my personal perspective that I’m not too sure about this somewhat urgent need to ‚fulfil your karmic contract’ or otherwise we will all get in trouble kinda thing... now listening to this, although incredibly interesting as it is, I find it makes a simple thing rather complex. In the meantime, I caught a glimpse of a short clip of Eckhart Tolle talking about helping others in their spiritual development... following that clip I watched a few others, and have come to realise the simplicity and purity of his wisdom. To my knowledge he’s not followed a prescribed, multi-layered! Complicated spiritual path to awakening... he simply awakened. And anyone who knows him, knows that he is perhaps one of the most advanced teachers that have ever walked this Earth. To reiterate my point from the other comment, spiritual journey doesn’t have to be, and I think shouldn’t be, overly complicated and prescribed. Yes, there is wisdom available and paths to follow, but it will no doubt happen to you when it’s due to happen, and it will happen the way it is meant to happen. No amount of fancy transmutations, breathing, insight, meditation, etc will do anything until you naturally realise the profound truth of who you really are, and that happens quietly inside your heart, inside your mind, and likely in a moment you least expect it. So anchor yourself in simplicity, anchor yourself in your Heart, the rest will happen. And then if you feel like diving deep into fancy transmutation work then do so, but know that’s not where you find God within.

[@aaronjamesparker9007]

I sat with this for a few days and feel compelled to voice the following. It strongly concerns me the concept of building new hierarchical structures within a movement towards species wide awakening. If history has taught us anything it is that hierarchical structures lend themselves to abuse and corruption. I strongly feel that the goal needs to focus on the way we connect via source as this is the only body with the wisdom to guide, connect, inspire with the level required to balance the complexity that is needed to maintain momentum. Hierarchies have time and time again been the eventual catalyst for dissolving wisdom. Having access to guidance and wisdom is important but in this time it is not required to be centralized and absolutely should not be. This path can and should be guided through individuals primarily by source. Encouraging individuals to find connection patiently through self reflection should be available to those beings who are ready to begin their journey as individuals to discover their connection. Remember who is driving this shift and have faith in the process.🙏❤♾️✌️

Same! This resonates so strongly and provides beautiful clarity. I feel as if I'm stabilizing in the 4.5-5 zone and my work has been in healing, cleaning up, and restructuring. It is wonderful! 🥰🙏🏼🪷✨

[@ketherwhale6126]

Wow! What an opener to this podcast! Unbeatable! Absolutely key 🔑 in these days we are facing “ in time”. The faster we are self actualized- the better. We are complete. ( but you need to actualize it). Profound guest.

Tuesday is my favorite day 🥰 KZbin University!

[@tracyhill6166]

I'm so glad to be brought here today. There's so much to learn. ❤

[@EcomCarl]

What an insightful perspective on our planet's journey! 🌍 Aligning with Earth's unfolding process seems pivotal for our spiritual and collective evolution.

at stage 4.5 here (intuitively feel) and literally started my KZbin 3 days ago to find my tribe

[@mercedesdulawan4662]

Amazingly awesome conversation, Andre and John. 3 deep bows.

[@romanceclubabc5683]

Thank you. May the Arahats and Bodhisattvas be with You Always.

I've had more trauma than a person should ever grow up with and what he is saying is true. Its impossible to hurry through processing this said trauma. I recently went through a hard time because I was all of the sudden able to process stuff that I had been trying to figure out for 30 yrs. The dots connected on some stuff that I wasn't really thinking about. I don't think our mind, or our brain will let us experience x amount of pain if it can help it. I just find it extremely weird how I finally connected dots that I had forgot about? My point is, you cant just put your head down and rush through it. It takes a long time to figure out

[@my2cworth4U]

You're not wrong. ❤

[@larsstougaard7097]

Agree I have spent decades figuring out my deep complex trauma , it finally begins to makes sense the many layers. Cant be rushed

[@cathycuizon571]

This is amazing Andre! Thank you John - my heart is full.

[@eduardkaiser1]

This was enlightening

[@TheSidneyBean]

This is hands down one of the most important and well explained talks I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. So much of this has been hard to put into words for me. I don't have the extensive vocabulary for a lot of the systems and practices and this is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for everything

[@GlenBaconMedium]

Excellent Information. Thank-you for these deep conversations that facilitate awakening. The real work comes after waking up !

[@patriciaarmstrong246]

I have to say this was one of the most informative interviews that I have heard on your channel. All others have been superior as well. However, this one had me thinking, stoping the program to reflect as well as taking detailed notes. I'm glad I broke the recording into 2 listening sessions because this way I was fully engaged. The entire program was full of wisdom. Thank you for your work here and for sharing your phenomenal guests. You are truly making a difference in the world.

[@susancampbell5948]

As I lay in bed and listen to your pod casts I can listen more intently taking in the peace I want to say your setting there makes it easy to listening to at night. The phone is not glaring bright at night. I also like most of your speakers and yourself André are relaxing voices. Thank you susan

[@chrisvine8065]

Andre! You are such a stud. You are an incredible interviewer and are so well informed. Great job!

[@shannontalanca4125]

Great episode. I concur with the great need for accessible initiation processes. Accessibility also includes an element of affordability. The commercialization of spirituality is often a deterrent to people who are ready and need that extra element…

[@taranolan6709]

I never comment on anything but have to say Andre you are truly a gift, so genuine, kind, and after binging all of your videos I am so impressed with how you read all of your guest’s books etc. Thank you for everything you are doing, I feel so renewed as a human and can’t wait to follow your journey, I sense you are going to make quantum leaps from here :-) Speaking of quantum may I suggest Shehnaz Soni as a guest, the two of you in dialogue would be amazing!

[@dravonwalker2352]

Ascend-gers unite! Hahahahha. Love that.

[@eleni8920]

Yes. From my own experience, I had a spontaneous top down kundalini awakening, but it was the cognitive work I engaged in afterwards along with mindfulness practice that helped me integrate the experience. And it’s an ongoing process. Kundalini is what kicked me into gear. Someone very close to me only works with mystical states, and she has delusional thinking and says her way is the absolute truth. Spiritual work entails always questioning one’s own judgements and perspectives. Children need to learn this!

[@laniplandes9833]

Thanks Andre for another beautiful, deep, insightful, soul awakening episode. In deep gratitude from my core, I deeply thank you for all the efforts, intention, time and energy, you and the whole Know Thyself team that you put in every episode, crafted with so much love.

[@tanyamcclure3700]

LOVE LOVE! BEST TEACHING EVER! I MAY LOVE LOVE RICE & PEAS BUT IT CANNOT BE READY UNTIL THE TIME & THE REST OF THE SEASONS ARE REALLY READY! THANK YOU BOTH!❤❤❤

[@johanaloha]

Total resonance...Every thoughts that have been verbalized here resonate with my self, to and from wholeness...So precious to feel we're not isolated in these visions we're downloading so Thanks to you two beautiful generous beings for Sharing,

[@PraytheDivineMercyChaplet]

I am in complete trust that God/Source/Universe is providing everything we need in order to bring about the new world. I feel much of the time that I am already here. I can see all of us in celebration for a job weill done. The end is absolutely assured. I don't have to worry about how it is to come about. I remain in trust, and next right actions, for myself, for Us, continue to reveal themselves and unfold, divinely, perfectly, beautifully.

"Our planet is like middle school....obviously." 😂😂 This gave me a chuckle, because its true! 🤭

[@ChrisBowmanArt]

One of the most helpful resonant pods I’ve ever heard! Thank you Djedis! 🙏😘 😇💗🫂♾️🆒🌎🌐💠✨

[@beinghere1494]

Thank you Andre for being the willing voice helping/reminding us of alternative ways of thinking and being. Simply thank you and all our other selves for our coming together in this way. I am thanking my self for the first time for tuning in at this moment for being part of all of this. How grand is Life 🙏🏼🎶🙏🏼

[@kellyredgrove]

I am fascinated that I should find this talk today after having many of these thoughts yesterday and today. This was very helpful to my own understanding of where I am🙏

[@user-morningperson]

I took his 4th turning workshop, I find Dr John to be really interesting and I hope to find a way to study with him again. Thank you for having him on I am on my 2nd listen,

[@user-xc2sb9ub2y]

I really must thank youtube and the all channels that are helping us take out the pressure. Just like the film Matrix you are the science revelattions. You have the abilities to put the words of the ancient teachings in a language we can relate with easier. I know now why it feels good with meditation, dance or prayer. I give away the pressure.😂. I hope that I understand you well...Thanks again.

[@johnraykos8713]

Isn't it an amazing place & time that we live in. The podcast is a gem.

[@laoluAD]

One of the things that’s stood out to me on this journey is the flood of synchronicities. Early on it started with seeing repeating numbers multiple times daily and that has certainly intensified but also in other things like thinking about someone and the person reaching out. But most importantly how timely these conversations are. Through out my journey, these videos have come to me exactly when I need them most. Starting from finding Alan Watts years ago after watching a “random” after skool video to finding Rupert Spira (who I would love for you to have a conversation with) and all the other teachers that have contributed to where I am today. Now to this video popping up pretty much in the middle of me integrating and doing shadow work which hasn’t been easy at all. It’s all quite reassuring, not like I had any doubt but it definitely helps make the process easier. Thank you both. 🙏🏽♥️ Some even cooler personal details are the conversation about ADD/ADHD and his interpretation of that from a sacred perspective, that resonated strongly. And then the weirdly spot on example of retiring (resigning in my case) and becoming a gardener, I did exactly that a couple years ago.

[@kimmyfarrell]

I've woken up to this... must have fallen asleep watching previous podcasts... will watch later. I know everyone is on their own journey but it can be frustrating seeing people to continue hurting themselves and others through having such narrow minded views. Namaste beautiful souls!!! 💖

[@jeaniejadias]

Gosh Annnndré I worship this podcast. It’s everything a seeker needs to awaken ❤ blows my heart open that are so so many wonderful people contributing to the inner “eye opening” here on hot concentrated free media channel! ❤ thank you for bringing these amazing gifts (people) to the mic 🙏👏🫶

[@sipetilesixishe14]

We need this episode broken up and simplified! 😂It's so awesome 😊

[@maricelaelizondo2482]

What a lovely conversation 💗🌟💞

[@foreverskeptical1]

i am always impressed by the colors/lighting of these podcast, looks beautiful in 4k

[@danielarusu8993]

I love love love this interview and I thank you for bringing human and consciousness development to the table. One remark - Wayne Dyer was quoting Max Plank when he was saying “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”.

I love these videos, the knowledge is amazing. At 2 hrs. and 44 mins., its just to long. An hour is good for me, I max out at about one and 1/2 hour

[@pascale516]

Thank you Andre and Dr Churchill for these insights. Looking forward to our meeting in 2050 😉

[@rachelpointer4828]

I loved this conversation. The Dharma Army 🤩 count me in 😊 I loved the phrase “you can’t get there by getting there.” A truth I know but that just hit a little bit more. I was listening while I walked, and as he was talking about sacred world, I just felt like there’s already that avatar world if all possibilities exist outside of time, and if we all dropped the lens of separation and brokenness, would it already be here…. I know there’s more nuance to it and our actions have caused actual “realities”, but it was just a really interesting feeling as I was walking and listening. Thank you as always for the work that you are doing.

[@holysadhu9226]

Thank You 🙏 I hope the developers of Building the Dharma Army John speaks of & we so desperately need - Build that in a gifting economy 📿 Otherwise it’s all just same spiritual global economic paradigm that is only available to those that can afford & thus the army never really builds & the sacred story is arrested & majority just keep getting busy working & surviving !!!

I really enjoyed this interview. I especially loved the analogy with the little fish in an egg cup, I never thought of awakening and awareness in that way.

What an amazing episode! Feeling very inspired listening to it!
