Classroom Talk: 10/22/2023 - Any time the mind makes a "package" out of some unwanted moment -- wrapping its reaction (to it) in familiar troubled thoughts, and negative feelings -- it does so at the cost of exchanging a priceless gift it's been given... in favor of giving itself another painful experience (of itself) that it doesn't know it's created for itself!

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.

Classroom Talk: 3/24/2023 - Part 1: Faith is a bridge between levels of self; it is an invisible, but real connection between who we have been, and the invitation to realize all that we are created to be. Part 2: Our level of understanding is no better or worse to us than is our ability to attend to what we know is Right, True, and Good.

Topics covered: There are experiences that are very clearly an indication of another order of consciousness; We all live in an invisible field where an immediate exchange of a certain kind of energy takes place between the observer and the observed; All reactions are registered in a field of awareness; The mind is active when it's busy trying to figuring out the choices it has to resolve a disturbance...

Classroom Talk: 10/9/2022 - Without an anchor, a ship is carried off by any shallow current or wave that passes beneath its bow. And so it is with us... as long as we try to navigate through this life without being able to anchor our attention in a place of our own choosing.

Classroom Talk: 9/23/2022 - Divine wisdom refreshes the soul by renewing its faith... but not faith in the hope of a time yet to come; rather it flourishes in the light of a ceaseless revelation that within it already dwells all that is good, patient and timelessly true.

Topics covered: Spiritual story about a knight who goes to rescue a princess imprisoned in a cave guarded by two chained dragons; Anything that is created is incomplete because it is connected to all other life; The activities we engage in is this unconscious nature trying to complete itself from the content of itself; All seeking starts on a false premise; What we seek is not the problem...

Classroom Talk: 7/3/2022 - Part 1: Unattended thoughts attract unwanted relationships. Part 2: Identifying with any painful reaction is a form of negative fascination; it is an inverse form of Narcissism where we feel drawn to "stare" at -- to dwell on -- whatever may be that dark thought or feeling we're so sure we don't want to see. Stranger still, the more we resist the...

Classroom Talk: 3/27/2022 - Attention touches whatever level of being into which it reaches. Sustained attention connects these levels and, if maintained, allows for an exchange of energy between them. Consistent connectivity permits and gradually grows into a form of systemic symmetry, until all levels involved are permanently integrated.

As goes your attention, so comes your experience. As goes your attention, so comes your possibilities; All possibilities already exist within consciousness; Instead of being aware of all of our relationships, we presently think about our relationships; We presently experience the world only from the outside-in, whereby the outside world must line up with ideas of how events should unfold...

All things have their natural place where they prosper; Our true nature must be returned to it's authentic, original place in the scheme of creation, where it is properly nourished. But how do we return to this celestial home that is within?; Our relationship with the Divine is only entered into by the realization of a new order of attention; As goes our attention so comes our experience...

Classroom Talk: 8/27/2021 - The present moment, what we call "Now" is a Presence; (it is) the revelation of what is being born -- living and dying -- in an eternal act of Creation; and because it is untouchable, incorruptible, it is only "be-able." It can only be entered into and realized as the source of our own Being by attending -- consciously -- to its perpetuity.
