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...

Student Talks: 2/16/2024 - Key Lesson: Life is change; it is creation revealing itself.

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.

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...
