Topic: Release Yourself from the Circle of Stress, Fear and Sorrow (Classroom Talk 3/2/22)

Classroom Talk: 3/2/2022 - Peace is not the opposite of conflict; it is the absence of it.

Classroom Talk: 1/26/2022 - The more that we say, "later" -- postponing the inner work of illuminating any painful disturbance within us -- the greater grows the illusion that it's profitable to delay bringing what lives in the dark of us into the Light of Higher Self-Awareness.

Student Talks: 1/14/2022 - Key Lesson: 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.

Topic: How to Rise Above Any Pain That's Dragging You Down (9/16/20 Classroom Talk)

Classroom Talk: 9/16/2020 - Nothing keeps you more aware of a pain you don't want... than does your struggle to escape it. Learn to see what truth is trying to show you about your strengths, instead of listening to your weakness tell you where to hide.

Student Talks: 2/7/2020 - Key Lesson: We cannot run away from what we don’t want to see in ourselves, any more than a mirror can escape whatever is reflected in it. And yet, to see the truth of this fact (about our present level of consciousness) is the same as transcending it, along with its pain.
