Student Talks: 05/29/2026 -A small mind is filled to overflowing by its love of little things.

Student Talks: 8/15/2025 - No condition that our unconscious nature imagines into existence can change, let alone liberate that level of self that, out of fear, finds itself compelled to imagine it…in order to feel secure!

Student Talks: 06/06/2025 - Show me the one who governs his or her own thoughts and feelings, and I will show you someone who lives in a world unclouded by worry and fear.

Student Talks: 9/13/2024 - Key Lesson: Words are rocks in the stream of consciousness; no name is the experience it seems to define. Experience -- like the flow of a river -- is a silent, wordless movement. We can either live in, and from the conditioned experience of a word, or in the timeless awareness of experience itself.

Student Talks: 11/24/2023 - Key Lesson: The single greatest unseen cause of premature aging, stress-related health issues, and ultimately of death is... the deeply mistaken, agonizing idea that somehow our constant struggle to control the outcome of any moment we fear will one day free us from these moments we fear.

Student Talks: 8/4/2023 - Key Lesson: Part 1: Faith flowers into Love; Love is the fulfillment of faith. Part 2: To live with the perpetual fear you may "do the wrong thing"... is to be doing the wrong thing that you fear.

Student Talks: 4/14/2023 - Key Lesson: We can keep running through our day -- rushing to get to where the next thought tells us we need to be -- or we can work to let these painful impulses pass into, and through us; there is no other choice: either we're awake, and aware of the presence of this "demanding self" -- watchful, and willing to die to its dark will -- or we're caught in its draft...

Student Talks: 8/5/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: It is impossible to be afraid of oneself, and be in command of oneself at the same time. Part 2: Whatever fear seeds in us, it breeds in us.

Student Talks: 2/18/2022 - Key Lesson: Before the Light of the Divine can begin teaching us, revealing within us the healing facts needed to be set free, there's one thing we must see as true... beyond the shadow of any doubt: fear can't learn.

Student Talks: 12/3/2021 - Key Lesson: The inner journey that leads to a life no longer bound by painful unwanted moments -- including their ever-present fears and doubts -- has one prerequisite: along the WAY we must agree to walk through any gate above which reads this sign: Enter here to meet whatever limits your right to be free.

Student Talks: 7/16/2021 - Key Lesson: Part 1: Whatever we seek in this world to confirm our sense of self, the same serves to corrupt us. Should you doubt this, just become aware of your compulsive need to constantly be assured that whatever "kingdom" you've created for yourself... is still there. Part 2: Blessed are those who love, for they shall be loved; but for those who love not -- but only imagine they do -- even what little they have shall be taken... and they shall neither know love, nor be loved.

Student Talks: 1/15/2021 - Key Lesson: Hoping to end the fear that accompanies us in so many of the unwanted moments in our life without first realizing the unconscious "machinery" that creates it is worse than useless; it's like blaming the path we're on for the pain we feel while walking it... when the truth is there's a stone in our shoe!
