Topic: The Truth that Sets You Free Begins the Moment You Agree to See It! (Classroom Talk 7/5/23)

Student Talks: 7/7/2023 - Key Lesson: 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.

Topics covered: The last thing your mind wants is peace. The only thing that keeps you from understanding the real peace of Heaven is what you do not yet understand about yourself; The peace of Heaven is a "time and place" without "you" in it. It is not a time and place "you" are going to reach and be applauded when you get there; What is the most rare form of self-knowledge?

Classroom Talk: 7/5/2023 - Part 1: If you want to catch a glimpse of Heaven just stop looking away from whatever truths may be revealed in its silent Light. Part 2: No matter how fast, or far we may run, it is impossible to out-distance, let alone hide from what we don't want to see in ourselves!

Topics covered: There is nothing in the universe that can stop you from learning the truth of yourself; Every moment of our existence is the expression of, and the possibility of completing "our" karma. There is no such thing as bad karma; Our consciousness sows the seeds of its own suffering, and then sets out to resolve the very conditions that it sets into motion...

Topics covered: The fallen state of humanity is such that it has fallen from the real into imagination, and imagination is where fear thrives; The fear in your life is inseparable from the life you have imagined; We have lived with fear for so long that we believe the lies fear tells us are true and necessary; There is a natural, necessary fear that is instinctual and has no sense of 'I' in it.

Classroom Talk: 5/17/2023 - The more we look for ways to protect ourselves from fear, the greater grows our inability to see its increasing authority over our heart, mind, and soul.

Student Talks: 2/10/2023 - Key Lesson: Here's an inconvenient truth: being "sorry" changes little, to nothing; only (spiritual) sorrow can help lead us to the liberation of transcending the unrepentant self.

Topics covered: Everything that you suffer from psychologically is the product of living from an attachment to an ideal that you don't know you live from; The consciousness that reacts violently to events cannot be changed through its own reactions; We cannot change the world we see around us until we change the way we see the world; The pain of resistance isn't caused by the condition or person being resisted.

Topics covered: Everything in creation is being acted upon by that which is greater so that it can be brought into the greater whole; Every creation is made more resilient by forces that might seem to oppose it or work against its own best interests; Negative reactions gather associated thoughts that justify those reactions; Useless suffering does not exist outside of the consciousness that creates it...

Topics covered: Blame is the denial of the manifestation of your nature. Be responsible for your own nature and for its manifestions; It would not occur to you to look for an answer unless there was also a feeling that something is missing; The perfect answer to your pain has been with you all along, but you have not been able to see it because the pain itself is what has been looking...
