Darkness

When we try to avoid or manipulate a moment in order to just get through it, we will meet that same moment again because we are the same. We cannot separate the moment we don't want from the level of consciousness that fears it. Seeing this is the same as realizing that the fear, though we may feel its presence, is not the power that it claims to be.

When we look out at the world and don't like what we see, is it really the world we see that is making us sick?

Remastered Classic Talk: 12/21/16 - The Kingdom of Heaven -- the True Self for which we seek -- dwells within us, and above us at the same time. To sense this as true, even in the smallest way, is an invitation and an instruction, all at once. For not only must we know "where" these Divine forces meet and marry within us, but that we must also develop the attention we need to be able to stand "there"...in the midst of their eternal convergence.

Topics covered:  Within us already lives a nature that does not have to resolve problems because it is problem-free to begin with; True teachings are intended to awaken a new kind of effort in us, and to expose the wrong kind of effort; Doing is downstream from being, and sorrow is the inevitable result of living from a nature that is out of order, and not in harmony with the broader life.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/24/16 - Spiritual wisdom is our greatest wealth and, as we realize the truth of this -- so that true self-knowledge becomes our single greatest wish in life -- each moment of every one of our relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of ourselves.
