Identity

In this video, we'll explore the concept that the only conflict we ever truly face is the one within us. It's not the world or the people around us, but the outdated ideas, beliefs, and identities that we cling to that keep us trapped in circles of frustration. When we recognize this, life can no longer be a battle. It becomes a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Topics covered: Suffering happens when something in life challenges a pattern that you don't even know you're a part of; Attention is connection; The sleeping mind is a breeding ground for self-defeat; New action is determined by the new light of a new intelligence...

Is not the whole world being reborn every moment?
Why not just step up, and go in…
There’s no waiting list.

Student Talks: 04/03/2026 - By itself, no thought has the power to trouble us; its authority over us is equal to the extent we are deceived into identifying with its particular, temporary character.

Part 1: This moment -- now -- is the timeless ground, seed, and fulfillment of all that is possible for us to be; to discover its riches is the first step in realizing, and then reclaiming our True Self.

Part 2: Wanting to be anything other than aware of what creation is ceaselessly showing you about yourself is wasting what Life itself wants for you: a chance to realize, and become as one with a new and higher level of consciousness attainable in no other way.

Remastered Classic Talk: 12/28/16 - In this world we are seized by desires that affirm the illusion of the opposites wherein, from out of their appearance, is born a separate sense of self that feels it must possess what is desired, or "die". In the spiritual world there is a holy desire; but being seized by it leads to the abnegation of identification; because what holiness desires is atonement: the end of the false sense of self created by unconsciously identifying with any opposite.

Student Talks: 10/31/2025 -The Real Gift of Life is the grace to see that each moment -- inseparable from our awareness of it -- is always complete in and of itself. And further, that whenever we act as a silent witness to that revelation -- quietly observing whatever new form of life is conceived within it -- we too are completed and renewed, accordingly.

Topics covered:  "You keep looking in the wrong places for what you are hoping to find when you get there in a time to come; The condition that we see is not responsible for the conflict that we feel; When reality challenges what we have imagined conditions should be, so that we can be who we think we have to be, we fall into conflict and suffering."

Emergency! Then urgency!
Oh my... such an important me.
In this blindness, it's unkindness
Too late I see... the insensitivity
Of unseen self-captivity.
