    The John of new channel Shares the teachings of John Davis who remembers a past life where he walked with Jesus. This reincarnation story tells us of our own divinity and it's especially relevant to recovering Catholics.We fine there is a great number of women between 55 and 65 who seem to resonate with the content. Though the content is for all people it does seem to reach those men and women from anywhere from 30 to 80. If you want to live a more joyful fulfilling life, with an understanding of spirituality like you've never had before, this is the channel for you.

    Thank you John and good morning! I don't "meditate" but I like to sit quietly by myself in the woods along a stream or river and listen to birds, watch animals. I know God is always with me but there I feel even closer to God in nature. When I was a child in 1946 my parents and I started to go to a place called Cook Forest in PA. I always called that my "happy place". I was born and raised in York PA. I am now 86 and I still love that place and was there last September the week of my birthday. I love nature and prefer to be away from city noise. Have a good day John!😊❤

    Indeed John, the word meditation is so overused!! I am a bit allergic to this that I decided to just sit in silence or listen to beautiful music from Nature Healing Society and you call it sitting in love and I think we do the same! And I love to take a nap and love to sleep. Thank you very much for your point of view! 🙏

    I think it's different for everyone. My view on spiritual practices is to try different things, take what you like and feel you benefit from, and don't let anyone else tell you what is right for YOU. I've tried the sitting down chanting, breathing , etc. formal meditation, and I think my chattering mind is just too active to want to shut down in that situation. I've done what I call walking meditations for years. Just walking alone and enjoying nature and focusing on the sights and sounds and feel of the wind and the sun, and trying to quiet my mind. One thing I will say I love , and that lends itself very naturally to a peaceful, joyous, and meditative state, is yoga. The kind I do is very basic/beginner, but when I do it I feel both physical health and spiritual wellness improvement immediately. Thank you for your thoughts on the subject.

    I find that breath work has helped me get to a clear mind. I started with a rigid practice and have broken it down to a simple slow exhale, bathing in the blissfulness of love. This allows me to then be grateful for all thoughts, raising my awareness to the calmness and love at the end of the exhale. I am nothing but breath.

    Thank you Dearie it is good to hear someone echo some of my own thoughts on meditation, which for me was basically an invitation to take a nap, I've never have been able to completely relax my body, even when asleep, let alone my mind. I don't know what one is supposed to "tap into" or "connect" with and honestly, I really don't care anymore lol I laugh everyday and often. Life is good and I go with the flow and that is far less stressful than trying to do something it seems everyone thinks one has to do to find inner peace. Peace Love and Blessings

    Thank you for this message, John. I have been beating myself up trying to meditate and seek my higher power, but my mind oftentimes just takes over with too many thoughts that take me away from my intent. Finally, I would just give up and use breathing techniques and emulate love into the ether, and thank the Universe, Source Creator for all of my blessings. Trying to manifest abundance when I already have everything I need is kinda like asking for a glass of water when you already have one in your hand. It's not just about what we want and having positive affirmations, although being positive is key, it is about what we can give of ourselves. To join our collective, with positivity, love and gratitude with anyone else out in the world who may be doing the exact same thing I am, and to try and make the world a better place, trusting God to provide for our essential needs.

Not for everyone but it's the least religiously dogmatic despite some of the Hindu influences. Open up awareness of the heart and brain, immersing in feelings of gratitude, love, joy to be alive, and freedom. Staying in the present moment.

    I think the chants are based in the concept of cymatics, or vibration. It can be used for healing and such. If you are drawn to it, look into it. There are some nuances to the tones, so there is somewhat of a right and wrong way to do that.
    Thanks for making me feel better about not keeping a rigid meditation schedule, I tend to do things my own, well informed (if possible) way.

In the medieval times, they believed that when you sneezed, you opened your soul to the devil and you would be blessed so that the devil wouldn't enter your body.

    Thank you John, I always enjoy your perspective. However without meditation how does one control ones mind? How do you influence your subconscious? How do you shut that voice up inside your head without breath control during meditation? I'm sure there are various and sundry ways to achieve each, but to do all in less 15 minutes? I agree meditation is many things to many people, when I sit to meditate the primary reason is to connect to the divine power of the universe, to be rejuvenated, healed and sometimes chastised by that still small voice.
    I encourage you and enjoy your channel.

    Hi John, I have a question about Jeshua that to this day no one seems to be able to answer it. Is there a reason why Jeshua seems to always be speaking in parables. Especially Mark 4:12. My answer is that I think Jeshua knew that the people back then were not ready to hear the truth or to receive the kind of knowledge he was giving, given how they were so preoccupied with their religion. I could be wrong. Any take on that would be appreciated. Thanks

    John, I always felt that the reason Jeshua or any of the other of our "enlightened masters" were able to reach their level of oneness and enlightenment was due to their time in meditationand fasting away from others. It seems that they all had lengthy bouts of this in time alone. Ive often joked with my wife that Jeshua and Budha didn't have to deal with occupations, bills.and children running around causing chaos. No wonder they have gotten further than everyone else.
    Second question. Do you not believe that our goal should be to reach that level of these guys. If we are just living in love without progression then "greater things than he did" we are probably not going be able to do.

Yes... spiritual aspects are connected to an egotistical perception of the freedom and power we have in terms of creation 🙏. That is egotistical. Instead , as John mentioned works with him, just stepping back from that ego determined thinking and breath.. no rules on how fast or for how long. It's up to you. Find that calm peace and it'll still your storm. Stay there as long as you want...or until your fur buddy feels like sharing some of that 💕. Just smile and be thankful.

I watched a woman on RUclips talking about this, she shared her own experience with it. About beings of love that aren’t quite what they seem. Pretending if you will. Hmm 🤔 I’m not sure about this?
