Classroom Talk: 6/14/2023 - The higher purpose of suffering is to ground us in the existence and Presence of an altogether higher level of (our own) Being... where neither time, nor the pain it harbors holds a claim on us.

Classroom Talk: 3/22/2023 - What is Limitless hides within, and just behind limitation. So anyone who will agree to silently slip into the quiet awareness of any painful sense of inadequacy -- refusing to bow before it -- will be crowned with a new and unimaginable strength.
