Classroom Talk: 12/29/2021 - Only as we dare to explore and understand the nature of fear -- including how it projects and protects its prison-like boundaries -- only then will we see its illusion fall apart, and begin to quietly disappear.

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.

Classroom Talk: 11/10/2021 - To see that what makes unwanted moments feel so important to us can't be separated from a powerful, but false sense of self provided by these same painful feelings... is the first step in separating ourselves from an unconscious nature that doesn't care what it feels as long as that stress, anger, or fear supports its insatiable need to feel important.

Classroom Talk: 8/11/2021 - Part 1: Until we can be aware of -- present to -- the fact that the Light of the Divine never leaves us -- even should we find ourselves full of darkness -- we can never really understand the appearance and the purpose of any fearful negative state, let alone how it's possible to die to it... and to the "fearful self," as well. Part 2: There is no possibility of freeing...

Classroom Talk: 7/28/2021 - Along the interior path, the aspirant must face what seems many separate temptations; but, in truth, there is but one. In the end, the root of temptation is the desire to see and to feel oneself as being "special"... the cost of which is to be thrown into conflict with anyone, or anything that threatens this image. Self-liberation is seeing this conflict for what it is...

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.

Classroom Talk: 6/30/2021 - Part 1: What is True always disturbs what is false. What is false never disturbs what is True. What is false is compelled to protect itself. What is True... is its own protection. Part 2: Who can possibly enlighten me as long as there's any fear of what I may see in the dark of myself?

Classroom Talk: 6/9/2021 - There can be no end to what we fear, only an end to fear itself.

Classroom Talk: 3/3/2021 - The mind, emptied of its attachments, fears nothing, while the mind full of wanting and not wanting spends all of its time afraid of... everything.

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!

Student Talks: 12/4/2020 - Key Lesson: Part 1: There are as many desire-driven dead-end roads promising to deliver us from our fears as there are fearful thoughts looking for a way to escape the consequences of the unconscious choices they helped to create. Part 2: As long as desire remains unaware of itself... it can only chase its own...

Classroom Talk: 10/21/2020 - The (spiritual) impetus to transcend our present level of self is granted in our first glimpse that what we really need is not a way to resolve, or outrun whatever punishes us... but rather to quietly – consciously – walk out of a dark and lower world inhabited by legions of self-limiting beliefs, including their...
