Classroom Talk: 6/21/2023 - Spiritual ignorance is like the deep darkness of a moonless night; and though it has no substance of its own, it not only obscures the path that leads back home, but ensures we will walk right by it... each time and place it makes its momentary appearance.

Classroom Talk: 5/4/2022 - There is a proportionate and direct relationship between the degree of an inconsolable pain -- some form of suffering that's pretty much our daily companion -- and our misunderstanding the true purpose of why we have been given a life.

Classroom Talk: 9/15/2021 - Claiming that we want to understand the source of (our) suffering without being willing to enter the (lower) level of consciousness that creates it... Is like saying we want to explore the depths of the ocean while reclining on a lounge chair somewhere near the shoreline.

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.

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.

Classroom Talk: 2/23/2020 - The more (we) mistakenly open a door to any negative reaction that comes knock-knock-knocking there, the more it will come back around - bringing "relatives" with it - until there's neither place nor peace left in our Home that we can call our own.

Classroom Talk: 3/25/2022 - Spiritual liberation is not an attainment; real freedom is not an achievement, let alone the by-product of belief.

But the fact is -- and may God help us to see it as so -- there is little difference between this hamster wheel and the "wheel" of negative thoughts and feelings that, on one hand, tell us how to escape...
