Topics Covered: We are intended to use the world that we are in to enter into another world within ourselves that cannot be turned upside-down by anything that happens; Real life never acts against you.

Topic: Turn Painful Reactions into Self-Liberating Action (9/8/21 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: There is another, higher level of consciousness that is present for us in any moment that we are able to observe ourselves; We as human beings are created with the capacity to be aware of the divided level of consciousness that reacts with fight or flight; What we blame for our reaction cannot be separated from the consciousness that is having that reaction...

Classroom Talk: 9/8/2021 - We want to be free of painful reactions, but (unknowingly) resist the realization of our role in their annoying repetition; this awakening is a mandatory interim stage between being burdened by any form of unconscious resistance... and being liberated from its unseen prison.

Karma is also permanently tied to our character. The actions that we take cannot be separated from our character; We are invited to participate in a self-organizing, intelligent, loving universe....

Classroom Talk: 4/7/2021 - At every possible moment of crossing over into a new and higher level of consciousness, standing at the gate between each spiritual kingdom, there is a faultless, infallible celestial guard.

Topic: The First and Last Law of Self-Liberation (12/2/20 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: There cannot be fear without unconscious desire. When there is no fear, then there is no conflict. And when there is no conflict, there is no unconscious desire; Without really knowing that we do it, much of our lives is spent trying to protect what we imagine we have; The fear we feel cannot be separated from the substance that we lend to the objects...
