Part 1: Ending the Struggle
How do you get out of the struggle of life?
In 1995 I learned, the hard way. Perhaps my story will inspire you to do it a little more gracefully.
Part 2: Letting God Drive the Train
Learning to let things work out while you’re following your passion, instead of doing all the normal things to make them work out, is one of the hardest lessons any awakening human must learn. And yet a time comes where you simply have no choice anymore, because the old ways just don’t work anymore.
In 1997 I had an experience that changed my life, because it showed me why it works and why it is so important. In this video I’ll tell you about it.
Part 3: Enjoying the Ride
It took nineteen years, but in 2016 I finally realized there was a key part that I had missed in that experience in 1997. That realization changed my life more than any other, and in this video I’ll share it with you.
Part 4: Out of Control
A master controls nothing.
When I first heard that statement, made by various Ascended Masters, I hated them for it. I could feel the truth, but it boggled my mind. “Isn’t being in control what it means to be a creator?” I asked. “Isn’t enlightenment about finally getting my life under control so I can create my dreams?”
No, it’s not.
In this video I’ll talk about how I learned that, and why it’s such an important part of realizing your mastery.
Thank you John. Your very personal sharing of your life experience has somehow reached that part of me that has battled with not trusting myself in many moments of my life; where I’ve let fear stop me from trusting and taking ‘risks’. The fear of letting go can be very strong but I can see where trying to control things in my life has bound me too tightly. I look forward to hearing more of what you have to say.
dear Master John
thank you so much for sharing this realization! I listend to your story today in the morning and thought about my experiences of going out of control. and I also reflected about, where in my life I’m still trying to control things… still acompaned of this thoughts I took the car to go with my daughter to the doctor. arrived, finding a parking place imediatly. moving my car again backwards ( I was in my fast driving mood) I hit another car ????. it was so funny. seems that it will cost a lot but I dont care. shit happens…
a warm embrace

Ouch! I hate it when that happens! But it’s such a different experience when we can laugh about it, right? I’ve done it too, and we call it a “Bump and Fill.” That’s where we bump into something unexpected, sometimes painfully, and the jolt breaks a lot of old stuck energy loose and pulls in a whole bunch of new energy. Blessings to you Christina!
Dear John, wise Masters sharing: I was just finding you by playing round through FB- Amazing when I let my Self show me answers or support she does: here you are with your video-
I am still not working, and I do not want, but as you experienced, human fears, patterns of life of how things have to be done, and those are really not the best compagnons -guides for what I have chosen. I did not need to go as far as to get sick..but any kind of attempt applying for a job is either not answered or a negatif one. –cause Iwould go for it because..the “BECAUSES” Adamus talks about in the MASTERS LIFE “NO MORE”.
Right now I am at the point of just wanting to do a 3days /week job, with no money paid.mere distraction and beeing around with other people, to quiet some aspects /mind.
It was a pleasure reading and listening to you.
Hi, it is really about this :to enjoy the ride, cause i created it, I mapped it out- Enjoying it i all ways possible. Whenever I try to control, I am shutting down the energy flow , limit it and those monsters grow bigger bigger. I do feel all those energys of fear , And now simultaniously comes a relief “finally” and peaceful lightness and Joy.
For very long I kept , rather my mind kept telling me I HAVE NO PASSION, i am good at nothing that can make a business- or make people find , just like you wrote in your sharing…..and i still feel this anger I had on others..until recently I realised it was a big LIE: cause I am passionate about my SELF, allowing my REALISATION, FEELING MYSELF; BEEING ALIVE never felt before.
Since I get out of my way more and more/my Master i hear her laugh when she sees me try to resist, I smile more, just because…I feel more relaxed, i appreciate and become aware of how amazingly my Self created my actual situation..and that 96% of what i hold on to wasn’t mine. How did you come to your passion..computering, coaching..I find it hard, kind of to put into words what I like, cause what is true now changes the next week..and I have to admit, that a part is also a game iam/i was playing with myself: poor me. Cause when I feel into myself, the answer for my passion is “simply BEEING”..it is the synonim for consciousness attracting energy..the human just has to allo and enjoy it. Its like babys with each step they take they become more and more confident:)
Christiane! Nice to see you here, and your comment inspired a whole new post. Check it out at https://www.mastershandbook.com/2018/03/01/where-is-my-passion/
Hello John, it is really good to see you again. I ve been following you since the web site advancedcreatorship.com published in 2011. I have a question: So, if we are masters, how limited are our abilities to create? when we can change some aspects of our lifes on earth? if us just accept the things as they are, it wouldnt be as if we were impotent facing life? in which moment we will be able to improve ourselves as a humankind? I am not a pessimistic person but seems to be that as the time pass the living conditions in the world are getting worse. Thanks for your advice.
Hello Diego, thank you for your long-time interest in my work! I’ve been on a very deep inner journey since 2011, and I’ve learned a lot about mastery and creation that I didn’t understand at that time.
“Impotent.” That’s a pretty scary word for the human self, right? But impotent means powerless, and what we are learning is that the true master creator is indeed powerless.
What I hear in your question is, “When will I be powerful enough that I can take the controls of my train (life) and drive it anywhere I want to go and change my life and the world in whatever way I want?”
My answer is, never. You can try, you can grab those controls and try to make your life go where you want it to go, but as a human the only tools you have to work with are force and power, and those will ALWAYS let you down. It is a scientifically proven fact that for every force there is always a counter force, and when you push at life or try to change it, it will always push back in some way. And it WILL change you, in ways you probably won’t like. As in the train metaphor I’ve shared in this series of posts, when you take the controls of your life as the human, you WILL crash and burn, and you will feel much worse than “impotent.” And I suspect you already know exactly what I mean.
A true master has no power. A true master is someone who has realized that power is an illusion, and so is both potency and impotence. A master is someone who has discovered that when we let go of the controls and stop trying to fix life, life begins responding to us in a whole new way.
You see, the human is NOT a creator. The human has no ability to create anything, and all it can ever do is push the energies around and be pushed around by them. But the soul, your soul, is creation itself, and it knows exactly what you most want and what will serve you best. When you the human let go of power and potency, when you let go of the controls of your train (life) and ALLOW it to be just the way it is, and turn your attention to simply enjoying the ride, then you the soul comes in close and takes over.
When your soul is at the controls you find that everything starts coming to you without any effort on your part, and your human life becomes magical and full of grace and abundance beyond anything you can now imagine. But that can only happen when you let go of the controls, when you allow yourself to face life powerless and impotent, and when you allow life to unfold as it will instead of trying to impose your agendas upon it.
Hi John
Thanks for these videos. I have really enjoyed them. They really resonated and were a timely reminder.
Jen
Glad to hear it, Jen!
Now that my hands have been freed from my own train’s controls, and I am happily looking out the windows from the passenger car, I notice myself wanting to reach out and grab the controls of other people’s trains as they pass by my window.
Indeed, I find that really tempting at times too! But isn’t that just another way of grabbing the controls of our own train?
Yes, now that you mention it, I see that it is. It also increases the potentials for that inevitable “crash and burn” scenario. I am realizing that my human just loves playing the game of loopholes! 🙂
Ha ha! Mine too! And, as my human sees more of what happens when I REALLY keep my hands off the controls, it’s getting easier.
More and more I’m experiencing the magic, and the beautiful creation, that happens when I simply enjoy the ride and ALLOW whatever experience may come.
Dear John. in a way i feel connected to you and what you’d said here wasn’t just words, because you can send through the line the whole experience.
From Chile, thanks
Thank you Conrado!
I expected to read an interesting story but the JOURNEY has the energy and the clarity of a workshop… with the potential of gifting the listener with a gentle expansion of his/her awareness.
I felt the love in your sharing and I’m so clear now about the role of my human self. My own Master within was leading me there… the last steps were gracefully accelerated with your videos. You did make it easier for me.
Thank you, John!
Ah, beautiful sharing. Thank you, Marie-Louise!
