Student Talks: 3/10/2023 - Key Lesson: Allowing any part of self to act in such a way as to deny yourself a new awareness of yourself -- whatever its quality -- is the same as refusing your right to realize the limitless depth and breadth of your true Self.

Topics covered: To paraphrase the well-known koan: If a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one there wishing it didn't, does it create fear or suffering?; The very struggle to escape the captivity of the consciousness that you are born into is why you remain a captive of that consciousness; The task is not to save yourself. The task is to realize a relationship with a part of you that does not need to be...

Student Talks: 12/16/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: There is no solving the mystery of ourselves without having first solved the mystery of (our) pain... which is why so few become self realized, let alone set free. Part 2: The higher purpose of suffering is to ground us in the Existence and Presence of an altogether higher order of (our own) being... where neither passing time, nor its pain holds a claim on us.

Topics covered: Anything that I think that I am, I fear that I am not. Fear is built into identification; The purpose of a true spiritual teaching is to develop the soul individually and collectively at the same time. It is not about "you"; We presently live in a spiritual darkness, and the purpose of spiritual work is to bring light into that darkness, but we have to be willing to allow that light to reveal and enact its Will...

Topic: Walk Through the Fear of Limitation and Realize Endless Liberation (Classroom Talk 11/30/22)

Classroom Talk: 11/30/2022 - The often-painful experience of any personal limitation is our awareness of a difference between some higher ideal we feel drawn to actualize... and our (present) inability to fulfill that possibility; but, to be clear, this pain is not -- though it often seems to be -- proof that we've gone as far as we can go! In truth, the revelation of any limitation is a Divine invitation to walk into...

Topic: The Cost of Spiritual Freedom (Classroom Talk 11/23/22)

Classroom Talk: 11/23/2022 - No one has freedom of speech who -- for fear of being isolated, cast out and left alone -- feels unable to speak the truth they would, or to question what they see as false. And how much more so does the above hold true when it comes to the freedom to see oneself as one is... without endless self-judgment, and all of its painful justification...

Student Talks: 7/29/2022 - Key Lesson: True spiritual liberation is inseparable from seeing, and agreeing to undergo whatever these revelations make evident must now change in one's character. Such Divine intervention never moves in a single direction, but rather occurs in all directions at once, like the radiations of the sun. This order of Light doesn't transform the darkness...

Topic: Learn the First Law of Self-Liberation (Classroom Talk 7/13/22)

Topics covered: Human beings cannot change themselves without the help of something that intervenes between them and their tendencies; If you ignore the celestial laws of life, you do so at your own risk. You can't ignore a true law without becoming anxious; There is no unnecessary suffering that is not born out of a lower order of consciousness believing that it is...

Classroom Talk: 7/13/2022 - Just as the Light of Truth is Timeless, so too are its Laws; the soul that learns to embody and serve their celestial purpose soon realizes liberation.
