Classroom Talk: 1/14/2024 - The greatest possibility for acquiring the Divine energy required to facilitate the transformation of oneself is found only in the moments of higher awareness that, itself, can only be realized in the same time and place of one's greatest resistance to that moment.

Classroom Talk: 11/12/2023 - Anytime we struggle in the dark of ourselves -- trying to change our nature -- our efforts are misdirected; our real work is to learn to see by the light that dwells in that darkness, and to know the truth of ourselves, as (it is) revealed.

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: 1/9/2022 - Poorest of us all... are those who "hear & obey" only their own reactions, because as long as that in-the-dark level of self remains in "power" -- calling the shots -- we will never see how our struggle to escape unwanted moments serves but one useless end: to escape a prison of our own making.

Classroom Talk: 11/21/2021 - The more we dwell on something in our life that we wish wasn't so, the more we soak ourselves in negative energies created by our own resistance. The longer we soak, the more we suffer; the more we suffer, the more we resist what seems to be the unwanted event when, in truth, what we are really drowning in... are the dark dreams of our own sleeping consciousness.

Classroom Talk: 10/2/2020 - Whatever temporary "strength" we derive from any stressed, agitated state of mind -- as it empowers us to "go through" what it is pushing us do -- is a lie.
