Classroom Talk: 03/01/2026 - The fortunate soul who, seeing with only one eye -- even it, barely half-open -- is, in fact, a virtual king in any realm where all of its citizens are blind.

Classroom Talk: 01/11/2026 - Given time, whatever degree of dependency we help to create in others will eventually prove itself a prison of our own making…For there is no form of psychological dependency that doesn't make a captive of whoever may be involved in that relationship…including the one w ho unknowingly initiated it.

Classroom Talk: 01/04/2026 - Revelation is not a product of time, rather (it is) the sudden appearance of an impersonal, timeless awareness within us.

Classroom Talk: 05/25/2025 - It’s not by accident that we reach interim points of mounting resistance in our work to be free, any more than we accidentally meet the challenge of some uncertain, unstable ground that waits to be gained the nearer we come to the summit of a mountain.

Classroom Talk: 05/04/2025 -Spiritually speaking, the Light of awareness is the universal solvent.

Classroom Talk: 11/17/2024 - Real self-change begins with seeing that Real Life is change itself.

Classroom Talk: 6/30/2024 - Just as a prism takes in sunlight to reveal its hidden array of colors, so do impressions pass into and through (our) awareness, revealing therein an infinite number of unexpected characters, and their qualities... in that same moment.

Classroom Talk: 1/21/2024 - Never forget that no real spiritual effort is ever in vain, even when you're given to see some low estate into which you have fallen.
