Topics covered: When without falling into any form of despair, depression, or regret, you begin to lose all interest in looking for yourself in any image or belief - because the taste of yourself no longer tastes good to you - that's when you begin to wake up; The mind sees in parts -- sometimes through our intellect, sometimes emotion, sometimes sensation; Lower nature is constructed so as to identify with the parts of the whole, not the whole...

Student Talks: 1/26/2024 - Key Lesson: 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. In turn, always remember: the ocean into which all rivers eventually empty themselves is always at their lowest point, and that this lowly place is, in fact, the origin and source of their waters.

Topics covered: The last thing we want is to be in the lowest place, even though every true teaching talks about one's salvation being found not in pride nor in any of the possessions we have acquired; Your life has its own teachings. You alone can receive what you have been given to receive. Life is not a race to win, but a school for your higher education; Arrogance is the act of pushing everything away that does not correspond with the image we...

Student Talks: 4/1/2022 - Key Lesson: Attention touches whatever level of being into which it reaches. Sustained attention connects these levels and, if maintained, allows for an exchange of energy between them.

Topic: The Unimaginable Shelter of Higher Self-Understanding (10/27/21 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: Our experience of life is intended to be an education so that we learn things we didn't know about ourselves the moment before; If we meet life caught up in a stream of thought, then there is no chance of being open enough to receive impressions; To see all there is means to be present to ourselves and unafraid because we stand in the shelter of the awareness that...

Classroom Talk: 10/27/2021 - The more we work to remember this one Truth -- especially when facing a fear about what may come to pass -- that everything in this world of passing time is granted, at best, but a temporary stay... the more certainly will we enter into, and stand within a Divine sheltering awareness that never dies.

Classroom Talk: 9/29/2021 - No event itself creates anger (in us) any more than a flame causes a moth to fly into it and be consumed. Events serve to reveal specific corresponding qualities in the unexamined depths of our consciousness, bringing us into a Divine awareness of an unlimited, unimaginable power to transcend the same.

Topics Covered: "Made in the image of God" means that we human beings are the embodiment of all the forces that create and give life to all that exists. These forces are blind, and they have authority over us when we are unaware of their activity; Real beauty is not just in the beautiful object that is seen by the physical eyes, but in the realization that the observer is the observed...

Student Talks: 2/21/2020 - Key Lesson: We are never closer to realizing the next level of our own higher possibilities than when, by the light of a new awareness we see some old "darkness" within us, and then agree that we can no longer be that which we have been.
