In Honor of John

Nov 28, 2022

By IBA Office

We are profoundly grateful for the many heartwarming messages and condolences that have come in since the announcement of John's passing. John saw so much more to his work than could ever be captured in books or lectures. With his deep knowledge and foresight when it came to metaphysical matters, we have no doubt that John knew that his passing would create profound shifts and new opportunities in his cherished little global matrix, as so many of you have suggested when sharing your sympathies. 

Here are some special words from Tim Hall that honor John's legacy:

When a tree falls in the forest and everyone hears it, what do they do about it?

John was a master gardener of human potential. He had a gift, and he didn't keep it to himself. John planted it like a seed. It was a unique seed, and it grew into a wonderful tree producing fruit of its own kind, which is to say that every fruit is also unique. Countless people all around the world enjoyed the shade and sustenance of this tree like a much-needed oasis in a barren desert. Other people wanted to be a part of the tree. They wanted to learn and grow and be nourished by its roots. These people became the fruit, which in turn contains its own seed.

When the fruit is ripe, it separates from the tree and falls to the ground or blows far away. Can your seed take roots of its own without the direct sap of the parent tree? John enjoyed his tree and cared dearly for every piece of fruit, but this was not his ultimate goal. John wanted to help people and to be of service to mankind. John's vision was not that of one tree, no matter how glorious it could be. His vision was more like that of a self-sustaining forest in every corner of the world, providing endless nourishment for all those who enter for centuries to come.

In my opinion, John wouldn't be too concerned about being remembered for what he did. What he wants to know now is: What are You going to do?

You are the seeds. Keep the seed growing.

Tim
