Classroom Talk: 11/22/2023 - The "importance" of any given moment is inseparable from whatever may be the momentary sense of "self" responsible for lending it that significance.

Classroom Talk: 11/15/2023 - No single substance -- whether physical, mental, or emotional -- creates an addiction, let alone the pain and conflict inherent in its corresponding dependency; rather dependency is the birthplace of all false solutions with which we first become identified, and then become addicted to... in the vain hope that it has the power to release us from a pain we have yet to understand, let alone resolve.

Classroom Talk: 9/23/2020 - Any "certainty" born of ascribing a negative meaning to an unwanted moment, or that goes on to imagine that moment as a prelude to even more painful times to come, is a false conclusion arrived at by a false self... creating a false sense of captivity.

Classroom Talk: 6/14/2020 - Our true nature can no more be threatened, let alone diminished by any event in time than can the timeless light of our sun be darkened, or overwhelmed by one of its own beams.
