Disturbance

Classroom Talk: 05/10/2026 -

Is not the whole world being reborn every moment?
Why not just step up, and go in…
There’s no waiting list.

Classroom Talk: 04/12/2026 - Passing time reveals the true nature of thought to be naught but grains of sand, endlessly spilling themselves out of – and back into – the nothingness from out of which they have come.

Classroom Talk: 03/15/2026 -

Part 1: I can't speak to you of life without speaking to you of death; not the death we fear, but the fear we have of it. For to live in fear is to die in slow motion.

Part 2: Our principle fear is not what any moment may or may not bring, rather what we really fear in any unwanted moment is our reaction to it.

Classroom Talk: 01/04/2026 - Revelation is not a product of time, rather (it is) the sudden appearance of an impersonal, timeless awareness within us. These “ah-ha” moments do not provide intellectual answers; rather they provide, by grace, a glimpse of a higher order of awareness whose peace is inseparable the Divine intelligence it permeates.  
 

Classroom Talk: 9/8/2024 - Words are rocks in the stream of consciousness; no name is the experience it seems to define. Experience - like the flow of a river - is a silent, wordless movement. We can either live in, and from the conditioned experience of a word, or in the timeless awareness of experience itself.

Topics covered: A new insight comes when we realize that we've gone as far as we can go with thought; We have an obstruction in our minds that we don't know about because we've already named the condition that caused the blockage; As above, so below; we are part of a celestial circulation system; Without emptiness, there would be no circulation and therefore no life; There's always a moment of empty space between resistance and the cause...

Topics covered: What can be new for us if we do nothing but look outside of ourselves in the attempt to confirm the image we have of ourselves?; To be a true "co-creator" simply means that you understand your relationship to the whole. It means that you understand your role within that whole; Most of us don't know that we are actually alive because our attention is fixated outside of ourselves measuring whether or not the moment can serve us...

Classroom Talk: 6/2/2024 - It's well known that storm-tossed waves often expose new treasures along the shoreline... and there is unexpected wealth to be collected by those who know the secret value of rough seas. And yet, even though most of us have little tolerance for anything that "rocks our boat," the truth of the matter is self-evident: Unwanted moments introduce us to dark parts of ourselves that would otherwise never be realized...

Topics covered: It's impossible to die to the pain of our past... as long as we remain identified with an unconscious nature that can't seem to go through a day without reliving some dark memory it then summarily resists; We don't realize that we've agreed to give our attention to what pains us; Our mind doesn't go back and revisit the past. Our mind revisits the conditioned content of itself that it calls the past...

Topics covered: You can't explain the mystery of yourself to yourself. You ARE the mystery that needs to be investigated. You don't already HAVE the answer... You already ARE the answer: What if real life has nothing to do with explanations, but instead has to do with participation?; The wise man because wise because he stopped answering his own questions; The antidote is in the venom. The answer is in the question...

Classroom Talk: 12/10/2023 - The world today: Those who can't think, criticize; those who criticize, think they see. Those who think they see, are blind. And those who live in the dark follow, blindly, the shadow of any beckoning thought that promises the end of whatever they fear will surely be found... just around the next corner.

Classroom Talk: 10/8/2023 - No peace appears outside of, or apart from the disturbance that conceals it, and no disturbance appears outside of, or apart from the peace that reveals it. They are inseparable celestial characters, each surrendering itself to become the other... in a ceaseless, seamless Divine act of creation.
