He explains that it is energy and its frequencies that transform, and we are able to receive such transformation only when we let go of the judgement of who we are which stands in the way of it.

He is 77 years old, yet his attitude has nothing to do with his age. We talk about spirituality and connection with God, organic food, Sirius, and synchronicities.

What John really puts his focus on is conscious language. Which means being aware of our words and what comes out our mouth. Why? Because words shape our reality. Because if you say you can't, you will not be able to. Because our words are supposed to mirror what exists in our hearts. We also mention a different kind of language, which is Astrology. John sees it as means of communication, and we can see why.
