Topic: A Tale Of Two Natures: The Unthinkable Revelation that Leads to Self-Liberation (Classroom Talk 6/21/23)

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.
