Humility

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/29/15 - No one can be made stronger that doesn't first agree to meet one's own weakness. No one can become wiser without first agreeing to meet one's own ignorance. But the fact of a transcending strength and wisdom is only proven in the face of weakness and ignorance; which means running away from any painful limitation is the same as agreeing to live as its prisoner. Never forget this one last fact: left unattended, weakness and ignorance grow stronger by themselves.

Student Talks: 05/01/2026 - Just as the light of a candle can’t be moved by the shadows it casts, so is there within us a Light that can reveal and observe a reaction without being identified with it, let alone be moved by its shape or character.

Remastered Classic Talk: 5/17/17 - 

Part 1: We are told that life is everlasting -- but see that nothing lasts! We are taught there is no death, and yet we see it everywhere around us! We dwell in the middle of an immense contradiction wherein one part of us feels the possibility of a life eternal, but that sees, and fears -- in the same moment -- only the inevitability of the opposite.

Part 2: The Great and Timeless Teaching -- that which can't be taught -- can only be learned through humility.

Student Talks: 03/27/2026 - Putting our life in “God’s Hands” begins with handing it to Him.

Student Talks: 01/16/2026 - Given time, whatever degree of dependency we help to create in others will eventually prove itself a prison of our own making... For there is no form of psychological dependency that doesn't make a captive of whoever may be involved in that relationship... including the one who unknowingly initiated it.

Topic: The First Great Law of Spiritual Development (Remastered Classic Talk) (Classroom Talk 12/31/25)

Student Talks: 9/26/2025 - We have but a single thing to do to satisfy the Soul and, in turn, fulfill her role in the Greater Plan of Creation. Our one True Task in Life is... to complete the moment as we are given to it. This is the first agreement; and in our obedience (to it) is found not only our freedom... but also the assurance of knowing that whatever sacrifice we must make to that greater end ensures all that follows is always in the best interest of everyone, and everything around us.

Topics covered:  Within us already lives a nature that does not have to resolve problems because it is problem-free to begin with; True teachings are intended to awaken a new kind of effort in us, and to expose the wrong kind of effort; Doing is downstream from being, and sorrow is the inevitable result of living from a nature that is out of order, and not in harmony with the broader life.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/19/15 - When we stop blaming the darkness, or ourselves, for having been walking in it, and decide, instead, to thank the Light for showing us the truth of our actual estate... then we turn the corner in our work to awaken conscience.

Student Talks: 04/04/2025 - No one wins freedom who hasn't first realized the invisible relationship between resistance and revelation, and how one cannot appear without the other; wherein to see that they secretly serve one another, is to put both in your service.
