Confusion

Accept the Divine Invitation to Transcend the Fear of Limitation (Remastered Classic Talk) (Classroom Talk 3/25/26)

Student Talks: 12/19/2025 - You can't escape any unwanted experience of yourself because that is the experience you don’t want! The Good news is this experience of yourself is not your true Self…but, for now, it is largely the only (sense of) self you’re given to know.

Topics covered:  "The events that we don't want must return. Above our present understanding is the fact that everything that transpires is the expression of another order of being that is responsible for reconciling the moment; The root of all true teachings, the true basis of religion, is "metanoia," which is the capacity to turn around and experience a completely new order of relationship with life."

Remastered Classic Talk: 04/27/16 - The present moment is the door of perception -- and if, when you look through it, you see something you recognize -- or otherwise think you know -- then all you're really seeing is a reflection of your self upon the mirrored surface of the door. The true door of perception opens... only into the unknown.

Topic: The Long Strange Journey to Being Happy with Who You Are (Classroom Talk 11/27/24)

Topics covered:  We're created with the capacity to understand that we are part of a higher order that is always asking us to outgrow who and what we have been; We need a new understanding of order, and the purpose of a true school is to introduce men and women to what higher order is; Real beauty is incomparable, which means that there is no "you" there analyzing what is being observed. In fact, in those moments there is no separation between the observer and the observed.

Topic: See the Silver Lining Inside Any Struggle with Life (Classroom Talk 6/1/22)

Topics covered: Do our daily struggles with life serve us, or do we serve our daily struggles? The answer is that, presently, we serve our daily struggles; The individual components in nature often struggle against each other naturally in order to perfect nature as a whole; When something happens that we do not want, we typically struggle against the condition that seems to be against us.
