What is 'we' and 'us'? The point of John's statement is that 'we' are the energy: he is suggesting a redefinition of self-identity.
Beware of identifying knowledge as something lodged in the mind. Real knowledge and intelligence are aspects of your energy, as is real feeling, and nothing whatsoever to do with the rational mind. Relaxation is simply the process of sinking into this truth. Feelings filtered through the mind we call opinions. The 'world' is built on them. Not only does science get it wrong by investigating models of reality rather than reality itself (institutionalised fantasy), but so does normal living. We construct 'reality' from an isolated standpoint (family is just an extension of self), obsessed with our own 'freedom' and 'uniqueness' and 'wealth'. Capitalism and its obscene consequence, consumerism, has become so entrenched and ingrained within the common psyche that connectedness and selfless responsibility on any level have to be really worked for.
Feeling is really unimportant. Belief is all important.
One of John's students once met Mother Teresa, "I'm so in love with Jesus", she said, "and he's so in love with me!"
