Classroom Talk: 9/10/2023 - We remain convinced that if we feel like something is missing in our life, then the answer must be to acquire it; this has always been our go-to solution when suffering over some discontent. But as long as our hope for contentment is remanded over to a search for something outside of ourselves, we will never see the fact that this discontent is inseparable from our present level of self...

Classroom Talk: 9/3/2023 - Creating, and then identifying with its own negative reactions is one of the ways the "false self" works to hide the truth of its essential nothingness... from itself.

Classroom Talk: 8/27/2023 - No one is obligated to "love thy neighbor as thyself," let alone to seek and find one's place in the Great Circle of Life; yet, "it is written" in the stars themselves: all must eventually pay for what they have done against themselves, or others. For Justice through balance is Divine Law, enforced by its tireless, unfailing love... whose final consolation is a pure heart no longer...

Classroom Talk: 8/20/2023 - Having no real direction of its own in this life... a wandering mind is incapable of recognizing the difference between finding the promise of (another) false purpose to live for, and the pit into which it falls... as it's tempted to reach for the treasure it imagines it has found there.

Classroom Talk: 8/13/2023 - Negative reactions -- in fact any form of painful resistance -- prevail only when we fail to remember it is -- at once -- our Divine right, and our work to transform, and transcend them.

Classroom Talk: 8/6/2023 - Part 1: There is no relief from the conflict and grief born of unrealized self-ignorance, which is why it's wise to seek self-knowledge. Part 2: The hardest thing in the world is to quietly do what life asks of you; but, if you attend to this first, Divine desire, all else is added... and you "shall not want."

Classroom Talk: 7/30/2023 - Part 1: Faith flowers into Love; Love is the fulfillment of faith. Part 2: To live with the perpetual fear you may "do the wrong thing"... is to be doing the wrong thing that you fear. Part 3: Whatever may be the welcome appearance of some familiar path promising to lead you away from a moment in life that you fear, be not mistaken: it is, by any other name, the path of fear.

Classroom Talk: 7/23/2023 - A true search for the beginning of things must, invariably, lead to the end of things; but the end of things is not the end of the awareness of them.

Classroom Talk: 7/16/2023 - Part 1: Whenever you make someone else's karma your own, you'll always blame them for it. Part 2: An incomplete mind creates incomplete actions; incomplete actions have consequences. Part 3: Word made flesh... or, "war" made flesh; that's the question that sits at the heart of every moment of life, whether it is wanted, or not.

Classroom Talk: 7/9/2023 - When the winds of fortune blow hot or cold, sweet or sour, don't lean toward one or away from the other. Instead, remain upright; only the balanced mind can walk safely over and through the uneven surfaces of this world.

Classroom Talk: 7/2/2023 - Part 1: Here is why it's impossible to run after, let alone come to possess real peace of mind: the same moment we set out to do so... we disturb it. Part 2: Here is the unseen cause of the great circle of human conflict and suffering: we unconsciously resist the appearance, realization, and hence the reconciliation of (our) collective and individual karma, accordingly.

Classroom Talk: 6/25/2023 - Part 1: Enlightenment is instantaneous, but keeping the lights on is another story altogether! Part 2: Intention is the front runner of a race yet to be run, a new order of will yet to be tested, but waiting to be realized.
