Gratitude

Topics covered:  A profitable human being is one who no longer serves fear; Truth comes to show you that you have not been able to change your life because you have been living an imagined life; "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." -- New Testament -- In a true reflection, there is no division.

Topic: Learn to Give Yourself to Life by Letting Life Give You Life (Remastered Classic Talk)(Classroom Talk 4/23/25)

Topics covered:  Each of us has three different "bodies": a physical body, an intellectual body, and an emotional body. These three bodies are presently disconnected from each other; The physical, intellectual and emotional bodies are intended to work in concert, but they are almost always in conflict with one another; There exists a higher body altogether that is always present, but we are not present to its influence.

Topics covered:  There is no way to see what you need to see as long as you only pursue pleasure and what makes you comfortable; Life becomes unnecessarily difficult when you try to extract a sense of self from it. Then that self's life becomes all about trying to tame the very difficulties that it creates; What you truly need is always with you, but your mind is always being misdirected away from looking in the right place.

Topic: Realize Your Relationship with the Vine of Divine Life and Be Set Free (Classroom Talk 6/26/24)

Topics Covered: Other than practical or creative thought, we don't need to think; The more you think, the more you sink; When we're identified with anything, we're asleep; Don't try to win, don't try to be strong, just watch and see; We suffer because we have forgotten; The worst that can happen if you go into a moment that you fear is that you'll learn something about yourself...
