Topics covered: Our struggles to find freedom have not done anything other than set up the next series of conditions that we will find ourselves struggling against; Freedom has nothing to do with overcoming the conditions that we blame our pain on. What we must overcome is the level of consciousness that feels itself to be apart from the conditions that it perceives to be outside of itself; Useless struggle is battling with conditions that seem contrary...

Topics covered: Though we are not usually aware of it, we live within a field of forces that is perfectly organized; Your hope rests in being the willing recipient of the revelations about yourself that are always being given; We are not here just to serve nature. We are created to serve a greater good; When you are complaining about your life, you are participating in the futile attempt to bring order...

Topics Covered: God enters as self-love exits; You cannot separate useless suffering from the level of consciousness that produces that same suffering; When the real truth about suffering is revealed, most people run from it; Why else would we try to escape our suffering unless we believed that there was a way to do it?; Resistance to pain is not the same as the pain being resisted...

Topics Covered: If the Kingdom of Heaven is within, then why can't we see it and why can't we enter into it? The Kingdom of Heaven is another level of consciousness that can't be seen with physical eyes, and there is no awareness of the Kingdom of Heaven when we're filled with resentment, ambition and anxiety;There must come a point in our spiritual work...

Classroom Talk: 3/24/2024 - We are not being called to be more than we are, let alone to judge ourselves when we see we have missed the mark; rather, we are here to discover ALL that we have been given, and how - if we dare accept this unimaginable gift - we will see it multiplied a hundredfold.

Classroom Talk: 2/18/2024 - The present moment and our awareness of whatever may be passing into and through it are one consciousness, much in the same way as the Eye of The Beholder shares an awareness of both the mirror, and the object it reflects.

Classroom Talk: 12/18/2022 - We cannot hope to find true peace without fulfilling the purpose of (our) life, and we can't fulfill that purpose without awakening to the Web of Divine Relationships within which the purpose of (our) being has already been sown. So that anything working to interfere with this realization is, at best, delaying its revelation...

Classroom Talk: 8/22/2021 - Part 1: There is no solving the mystery of ourselves without having first solved the mystery of our suffering... which is why so few become self-realized, let alone set free. Part 2: Useless suffering has but a single cause.

Classroom Talk: 1/3/2021 - Into what do we gaze when looking through a telescope or microscope... other than into the yet discovered depths of our own mind? For whatever world we explore -- inwardly or outwardly -- what is it we uncover there... other than a corresponding knowledge of it; and, if this is true -- which it is -- then where does...

Classroom Talk: 8/28/2020 - Just as the sun consumes her own substance as fuel, transforming matter into life-giving light and heat, so too are we created to consume ourselves; to transform the base aspects of a separate self - the many conflicting characters inherent in our divided consciousness - into a single, higher form of...
