John de Ruiter is a spiritual pioneer, teaching that life's meaning can be known and lived through "core-splitting honesty". At seventeen years old, John de Ruiter awakened to the deepest dimensions of reality. He realized that living in this world was not about himself, but the tiny little bit he knew was true in his heart, which is one with all of consciousness. Since his awakening, John has become recognized as a luminary of deeper truth. He began teaching and sharing his knowledge wherever he was invited. For the last thirty years John has been teaching at his home base in Edmonton, Alberta, establishing the College of Integrated Philosophy in 2006. He also holds seminars all over the world, where thousands are responding to his presence and the simplicity of his message: the heart is our doorway to deeper truth within. John's commitment is to activate the awakening of consciousness in others, to build a true reality in our lifetime and beyond.
