Attention

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/05/17 - What is the true spiritual journey other than the discovery that who we really are is (a) part of a Consciousness that remains, at least for now, unconscious... not just of itself, but also to the suffering inherent in being apart from the Holiness of life.

Remastered Classic Talk: 5/31/17 - True patience, the seed of being consciously kind, begins with the interior work of never forgetting the following: what someone else does, whatever the nature of his or her action, has no authority over who you are.

Remastered Classic Talk: 4/19/17 - There are some things in this life -- in this world of passing time, governed as it is by the illusion of opposites -- that cannot grow up side-by-side; by their nature, the lion and the lamb never lay down together. So it is with love and self-pride, for love of self denies obedience... While love demands it.

Remastered Classic Talk: 12/14/16 - Speculation, speculation: thy true name is doubt, and thy brother is fear.

Remastered Classic Talk: 11/23/16 - 

Part 1: It is impossible to hear the "Voice of Heaven" -- to be in any level of communication with real conscience -- and to be talking to yourself at the same time.

Part 2: In stillness, I see. In silence, I hear. Seeing and hearing in this way, I am instructed... And come to understand.

Remastered Classic Talk: 11/9/16 - 

Part 1: We resist not what we see as being fearful, but rather what fear sees whenever we look at our life through its eyes. And the reason this fearful nature trembles, as it does, resisting its own dark vision, is so that it can feel unsuited to meet the very situation that it has imagined.

Part 2: We are never overpowered by a negative reaction, regardless how strong it may seem; rather we are overcome by misunderstanding our actual relationship with that dark thought, or emotional state.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/05/16 - The spiritual search for the "old nature" set against you... isn't a "snipe hunt." The source of human misery is not a myth; so that if you've yet to see the beast of self-centeredness, if you don't recognize this creature for what it is -- and where -- it lurks within you... then at least learn to look for its tracks. That way, you might one day trace them back to its dark lair, where lie all the bleached bones of your life past. Don't be dismayed by this prescription, rather hear its timeless promise: your wish and willingness to enter into this place marks its death, not yours.

Where is tomorrow's fear other than in today's imagination? And, if this is true -- and IT IS -- then what to do with our attention in the here and now? Let it be swallowed up in the dark shadow of what "may be"...or hold it in the Light of awareness where no shadow can dwell, let alone its fear?

If we can't give the whole of our attention to someone -- or, for that matter, to any moment -- then we can't listen. If we can't listen, we can't possibly hear the whole story. And if we can't hear the whole story, then how can we ever hope to understand, let alone realize our actual role in it.

Classroom Talk: 8/14/2024 - There is only one requirement if our wish is to "boldly go where no one has gone before"...and that is to realize that not only are we the explorer, but the new frontier is either found within us, or not at all.

Classroom Talk: 6/5/2024 - Every step along the path (of life) is the first -- and the last -- for anyone who chooses to walk in the silent light of higher self-understanding.

Classroom Talk: 2/8/2023 - All careless actions are the creation of an unconscious nature unable to care about anything other than what it wants... which always involves how to resolve, or otherwise avoid dealing with the outcome of the last careless action it took!
