Awareness

Key Lesson: 
Whatever storms you are given to face on your long journey back home, work to remember this truth... and be assured the day will dawn when you will know the unconditional freedom you seek: Your struggle is with yourself, and yourself only.

Student Talks: 06/05/2026 - Participating in the revelation of creation is the entrance into the realization of God’s life, paid for by the sacrifice of the lower self.

Student Talks: 05/29/2026 -A small mind is filled to overflowing by its love of little things.

Student Talks: 05/08/2026 - Distractions never show themselves as empty sea-shells when the promise of their shape first catches the wandering eye. Perhaps that’s why – as we stoop down, and stop to pocket yet one more weathered prize – we never really notice – let alone step into – the vast sea that has cast them onto shore.

Student Talks: 04/17/2026 - Passing time reveals the true nature of thought to be naught but grains of sand, endlessly spilling themselves out of--and back into--the nothingness from out of which they have come.

Key Lesson: Awareness of the moment is our consciousness of it. So, the more aware we can be of the whole of our consciousness in any moment, the less there is for us to think about -- let alone try to do, because awareness cannot act against itself. Why? Because the light of awareness isn't divided into what it is aware of, and what it knows about it. It simply sees what is, and that whatever is one with that light is Good.

Student Talks: 02/27/2026 - I will be with you until the end of time, but if you look for me in (passing) time, you will not find me there.

Student Talks: 02/13/2026 - Looking to any reaction to resolve, or otherwise reconcile a negative reaction is like chasing a shadow to find the light.

Student Talks: 01/30/2026 - The end of suffering is not found in the pursuit of freedom from suffering, but in seeing through the very nature of desire that generates the suffering to begin with. The problem is not what we desire, but rather our unseen identification with desire itself, and the endless cycle of conflict it creates.

Student Talks: 01/23/2026 - Most of us live an accidental life...where our actual condition is constantly covered up by the convenience of being able to regret whatever we look back on as the source of our pain. But let’s be clear. Our list of painful regrets is not due to a cruel world, bad timing, or unfortunate events that got the better of us; no, the fault lies elsewhere, much closer to home: not only are we blind to the legion of unconscious parts at large in the dark of us, but we are yet to see the other half of this same truth: these same parts never stop working to ensure that we never stop wrestling with the regrets they keep resurrecting within us. To what end, this painful plot? That we never become conscious of the relationship between a life we regret, and our identification with a lower level of consciousness that ensures its continuation.

Student Talks: 01/09/2026 - Revelation is not a product of time, rather (it is) the sudden appearance of an impersonal, timeless awareness within us. These “ah-ha” moments do not provide intellectual answers; rather they provide, by grace, a glimpse of a higher order of awareness whose peace is inseparable the Divine intelligence it permeates.

Student Talks: 10/31/2025 -The Real Gift of Life is the grace to see that each moment -- inseparable from our awareness of it -- is always complete in and of itself. And further, that whenever we act as a silent witness to that revelation -- quietly observing whatever new form of life is conceived within it -- we too are completed and renewed, accordingly.
