The 10 voluntary exercises below are for would-be Angels who want to develop their wings. Each is designed to help increase higher self-awareness.
You wish, and then rush, to free yourself from your sorrows, but refuse to change the beliefs causing them...which is like jumping off the Ferris wheel onto the merry-go-round in the hopes of bringing an end to your dizziness. Any attempt to protect yourself from emptiness only creates the illusion of it...along with an imaginary self that believes it can somehow outrun this unwanted nothing.
If... You serve only yourself, You serve nothing. If... You love only yourself, You love nothing. If... You cling only to yourself, You hold nothing. If... You wish to please only yourself, You please nothing. If... You have only things as pleasures, You have nothing. If... Your thoughts wrestle with tomorrow, You struggle with nothing. If... You strive to amass o...
Linger in the great mystery of moments untold. Wait there for the unspeakable invitation to live there.
Topics covered: We have spent our entire lives running away from pain that we don't understand, hoping to reach a permanent pleasure in a time to come; The so-called heaven that we try to reach through thought always reveals itself to be a present self-created hell; "Thirty spokes share the hub of a wheel; yet it is its center that makes it useful.

Student Talks: 2/16/2024 - Key Lesson: Life is change; it is creation revealing itself. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its Divine design, or we can continue to struggle with unwanted moments in the false belief that the pain of our resistance (to them) proves we know how life is supposed to unfold.

Topics covered: Every unwanted moment is the fear of death; God's life is a great undiscovered ocean that is already within you. The ocean doesn't exist outside of you and you have always been a part of it, but as yet you do not know how to participate. Seeing that you do not know is the beginning of participating; The fear of "un" is fear of the unknown, the undiscovered, the unwanted. Until you get over the fear of "un" you'll never know...

Topics covered: In order to genuinely change our life, we need a change of light. And the light that reveals our consciousness hurts the eyes at first; The land of "one and done" that we are all trying to reach exists only in imagination. There is no such place.

Student Talks: 1/6/2023 - Key Lesson: Nothing ends that something doesn't begin; nothing begins that something doesn't end. To know this as true is to no longer live in the fear of emptiness, let alone to covet the feeling of "fulness"... As neither of these psychological states, including the false sense of self (unconsciously) derived from them, exists without the temporary conditions that create the illusion of their reality.

Topics covered: Until we see a bigger picture of the real world that we live in, we won't be able to really know and experience endless new beginnings; If you want to experience what is new, then you are going to have to let go of your ideas about newness in favor of the actual relationship with what is always new; We can see the evidence of renewal all around us...
