Topic: Enter the Fullness of Real Life that Is Freedom Itself (8/25/21 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: If you do not know what initiates the actions you take, then there is no "you" choosing to do anything at all; Why would we limit the impressions that come with an unwanted moment? Why would we limit any impression at all, especially when it is these impressions that ultimately lead (through reactions) to our actions?; Within us there is a door that leads to...

Classroom Talk: 8/25/2021 - Just as the wise captain of a sailboat knows that a dead calm often precedes a new set of winds to fill his sails, so can the aspirant who is patient in the face of a growing emptiness be assured that a whole new order of fullness is on its way.

We're about to learn about a new kind of understanding with the power to transform "dark" moments into liberating self-discoveries. Let's get started... We don't yet see "problems" for what they really are: a part of the Light within us that we have yet to perceive! Any thought or feeling that troubles us in mind or heart, any fear or worry, is like a candle not yet lit...

Student Talks: 10/23/2020 - Key Lesson: Part 1: We cannot "make" things whole any more than the moon makes itself full by its own light. Rather our work is to serve as a witness to life's ceaseless, concurrent appearance of fullness and emptiness and, by so doing, to unite (within us) the awareness of Timeless consciousness...

Topics Covered: What our mind calls an "empty" moment is really a moment in which we are full of resistance, full of ourselves, full of negative conclusions about what the moment means; The world wants nothing to do with humility; it worships appearance and power; Moments that feel empty are a blessing because they reveal the imagined life we have been living...

The better we understand the unique power of being "passive"- and how it serves as the secret consort of all things active - the more we grow in the faith we need to be wisely passive toward whatever fears remain in us about letting go of our false self. This is why we should take time each day -- as often as possible -- to quietly return to the living Light that dwells in the...

Rather our work is to serve as a witness to life's ceaseless, concurrent appearance of fullness and emptiness and, by so doing, to unite (within us) the awareness of Timeless consciousness with the experience...

Student Talks: 5/8/2020 - Key Lesson: Until we stop trying, in vain, to fill the empty moments of our lives with all of the distractions we pursue to quell that ache, we will never see, let alone realize that this same sense of emptiness we fear is full of a Light, a Living Awareness that neither fears nor wants for anything outside...

Topic: How to Use Any Empty Moment to Enrich Your Soul (4/19/20 Classroom Talk)

Classroom Talk: 4/22/2020 - Truth, like sunlight, radiates out, pouring down ceaselessly from the "emptiness" of The Great Unknown into the fullness of how we experience it... as something temporarily "known." But, don't miss the point: without emptiness, nothing flows. We mustn't allow the fear of empty space to deceive us into...
