Impromptu #2 - The Jesus Prayer

In this impromptu chat, the second at Cliff College, John addresses:

- differences between Eastern and Western Christianity
- origins of 'The Jesus Prayer'
- on Russia - "These people are my people"
- in the real world there is no death
- when present we are 'in love' and free from fear
- why love affairs go wrong
- in the real world there is only one time - eternity
- pure and impure, divine and demonic
- meditation is the practice of letting go attachment to our separate identity
- we can never not be in Jesus
- be determined for freedom
- how to deal with thoughts
- whatever you attend to expands and seems more real
- practical exercise in the use of 'The Jesus Prayer'
