Classroom Talk: 3/31/2024 - The reason why the search for the "Truth" of oneself is called "pathless"... is because it's not taken in steps, let alone in any known direction; rather, the "journey" to authentic self-liberation is found in our endless opportunity to enter into an ever-higher order of self-understanding that -- like the light in which it is revealed -- never stops expanding. And... we are invited to travel along.

Topics covered: It is very unnatural to have an unexamined life; It feels to most of us as if life is always asking, "What are you gonna do? How are you gonna handle that? What's next? What about this and what about that?"; Tension seems to demand that you respond to it; So much of our time is spent trying to sort out why we feel the way we do; The mind is always disturbed because it never stops comparing...

Topics covered: Awareness and my capacity to attend to my actual state is what allows that state to change; This present level of consciousness apprehends the world and its relationships through an unconscious process of separation; Life is not happening to you.

Classroom Talk: 3/26/2023 - Love professed is not proven true until tested.

Classroom Talk: 3/25/2023 - Our great hope dwells within whatever supports, strengthens, or sustains our love of truth, where much as candle light banishes any shadow before it -- revealing its nothingness -- so a living faith reveals that hiding just within any dark moment is a light that it knows not.

Classroom Talk: 3/24/2023 - Part 1: Faith is a bridge between levels of self; it is an invisible, but real connection between who we have been, and the invitation to realize all that we are created to be. Part 2: Our level of understanding is no better or worse to us than is our ability to attend to what we know is Right, True, and Good.

Topics covered: There is no freedom without real faith, but faith is not a belief; Faith is the living expression of a human being's conscious relationship with the Divine.

You need to be awake to what is keeping you from participating in that life, then real faith is there...

In the silence of this relationship is revealed and received, all at once, the wisdom and wealth of your True Self. A few of these timeless riches include: a faith no fear can shake, an innocence no temptation...

Revelation is seeing something I hadn't seen before; Faith is knowing that the love or gratitude you don't feel is still there; We have a default relationship with Mr. Familiar; Following the path of least resistance; I can't love my brother as myself until I recognize, instead of reject, their pain; You can't have fear without negative imagination; I don't know how to be myself...
