Classroom Talk: 8/24/2022 - We all want to be free of painful dramas in our life, yet refuse to see how we play a lead role in their daily appearance. Catching ourselves in a play of our own making -- hearing ourselves reiterate old lines even we are getting bored with -- sets the stage for closing the curtain on a show where we keep starring in our own suffering.

Topics Covered: The first shall be last, and the last shall be first; Judgment of yourself is the continuation of karma; Don't try to be calm, be present to the storm; Realization is the release from the identity from of resistance; Each moment is a perfect mirror; To be spiritual is to see; Genuine prayer comes from seeing, not from wanting; Separating the wheat from the chaff...

Topic: How to Recognize and Release Yourself from the Circle of Self-Induced Suffering (4/5/20 Classroom Talk)

Classroom Talk: 4/5/2020 - Psychologically speaking, the pain & bane of our life is not just mistaking today's troubling event as proof of tomorrow's pain, but actually ensuring that it will be... by unconsciously resisting what is nothing more than a dark image generated by (our own) negative imagination.

Classroom Talk: 12/11/2019 - It's said: Truth sets us free. So, welcome this Truth... and watch how it keeps its promise: The only thing we really fear (in life) is our own weakness... and this is only because we haven't yet realized another Truth: Whatever the weakness we may fear is NOT ours.

Classroom Talk: 6/5/2019 - Only by coming to know -- intimately -- the Divine purpose of each moment in our life can we hope to play our part in the fulfillment of the purpose of Life itself... which is the only relationship in which dwells the perfectly fearless, unshakable peace of the Divine.

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. Eye and heart are creatures in time, but Light and Love are not. Even so, all meet; and to be a silent witness to their inexpressible union... is to realize the pathless journey to the indwelling Divine.

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. A fearless life awaits anyone who will cast-off from the "shores of the known," and who will remain set on that celestial course called "self-knowledge."
