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.

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.

Classroom Talk: 1/2/2022 - Much as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so it holds true: our experience of any given moment - for its light or darkness - its joy or sorrow - is cast in the image of the consciousness momentarily awakened to reflect upon itself.

We are always being fed by impressions; Thought makes an icon out of every experience; Things don't come to you, you are revealed to yourself; The Prodigal Son is a story of consciousness; Consciousness is the awareness of something; Feeling disrespected is a result of that self overvaluing itself; Starving the self and feeding the soul; I know better than to start the journey to...
