Topic: Enter the Unseen Temple of the Indwelling Divine (Classroom Talk 1/3/24)

Topics covered: We cannot have a change in life until we have a change in light. Which means that we need a new kind of understanding that allows us to see each moment and our relationship with it; With thought we try to figure out what to do with moments, figure out whether or not we want them, instead of being present to the moment, which includes all the right instructions about any possible actions to take.

Classroom Talk: 1/3/2024 - Higher self-awareness is a sacrificial fire; both a flame and its light, it alone is capable of illuminating, and then consuming the shadows cast forth from the world of dreams within which, alone, they dwell; the light of this awareness is a fire that does not burn.

Topic: The One True Solution that Dissolves Unconscious Suffering (Classroom Talk 8/9/23)

Topics covered: If we are ever going to reach the end of unconscious suffering, then we have to uncover the true interior cause of the suffering; Have you ever noticed that you are grateful when you wake up from a bad dream and realize that it was just a dream?; To live in fear of another person, to have an enemy, or to hate anything in life, is to be asleep in a bad dream...

Topic: The Real Reason Why It's So Hard to Start Life Over! (Classroom Talk 5/11/22)

Topics covered: The urge to make a fresh start does not usually occur to us until we have hit bottom as a result of having been asleep in a dream; There is a purpose for every disturbance, but the sleeping mind does not know the true purpose, and so it searches its own library of content for an explanation; Disturbances would not be pushed away if we understood their true function...
