Divided Mind

Classroom Talk: 05/31/2026 - Participating in the revelation of creation is the entrance into the realization of God’s life, paid for by the sacrifice of the lower self.

Classroom Talk: 03/29/2026 - By itself, no thought has the power to trouble us; its authority over us is equal to the extent we are deceived into identifying with its particular, temporary character.

Remastered Classic Talk: 07/10/2016 - Rushing somewhere, through anything, in the hope of finding some imagined peace of mind is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!

Classroom Talk: 06/08/2025 - The great universal misperception that secretly drives human conflict ­– with all of its sorrow and pain – is that the meaning of life is to be found somewhere outside of our own heart and mind.

Classroom Talk: 10/13/2024 - The first place to look any time you feel a sudden stab of pain is to see that not only is the sting of this moment a creation of your own hand, but also to see how - in that very same moment - you're being handed the reasons why you have no choice but to struggle with, and suffer over what amounts to a self-inflicted wound.

Classroom Talk: 4/7/2024 - Part 1: We can't be anxiously looking for real Life, and take part in its rebirth at the same time. Part 2: United we see; divided we fall.

Classroom Talk: 2/25/2024 - Just as the eyes that see the sun cannot understand its light by which they behold the shape and beauty of all things, neither can the heart understand the love that calls it to know and encompass all things.

Classroom Talk: 11/5/2023 - Our highest possibility for spiritual growth can't be separated from our daily work to question, explore, and illuminate any dark thoughts and feelings that may confront us along the Way.

Classroom Talk: 6/24/2023 - The anxiety inherent in ANY dream of "when and then" can only end in the here and NOW.

Classroom Talk: 4/16/2023 - Never run from any moment you don't understand, as whatever your conflict may be in that moment with life... (it) will be waiting for you when, and wherever you come to a stop.

Classroom Talk: 8/21/2022 - Part 1: To see all that I am... is to be all that I am; and when, at last, I am willing to see -- and to be all that I am -- there no longer remains any separate, isolated, lingering sense of self struggling to be, or not to be. Part 2: Wanting to master oneself -- without having obtained (true) knowledge of oneself -- is like hoping to harvest food...

Classroom Talk: 8/7/2022 - There is only one way to be released from negative reactions, and it begins with honestly considering the truth of the following fact: how ironic is it that we fear losing control of ourselves, or over some moment we fear... when the very attempt to control any relationship is, itself, born of fear.
