Illusion

One of the things about the spiritual journey that is so difficult -- because of what it asks of a person -- is that we must reach the point where we look at our life as it is and realize that we cannot have what our heart longs for in our life such as it is. We come to a full recognition that we are indeed a house, and a spirit in a house, and that the house has had its way with the spirit but that the spirit was never intended to be commanded, dominated by the house...

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/05/17 - What is the true spiritual journey other than the discovery that who we really are is (a) part of a Consciousness that remains, at least for now, unconscious... not just of itself, but also to the suffering inherent in being apart from the Holiness of life.

Classroom Talk: 6/26/2024 - Anytime we feel a need to stand in the healing light of the Divine -- and act to honor that wish -- we are shown a truth that not only sets us on the path back Home, but that serves to guide us the whole way: we have never been outside of the light of God.

Student Talks: 5/3/2024 - Key Lesson: The cost of "knowing" real beauty -- of realizing all that is timelessly noble and true -- is to be the emptiness into which it pours, and from out of which it will pour again.

Topic: Welcome this New Light that Takes Fear and Anxiety Out of Your Life (Classroom Talk 1/10/24)

Classroom Talk: 1/10/2024 - Real life is change; it is creation revealing its endlessness.

Topic: The Unimaginable Cause of Stress, Fear, and Other Unwanted Moments (Classroom Talk 8/23/23)

Classroom Talk: 8/23/2023 - The majority of would-be aspirants believe the "heaven" they imagine is the same as being in the presence of an unimaginable level of Self. And when -- as it must happen -- they are "rudely" awakened from their dreams, they do what comes naturally: they go back to sleep, hoping to find the comfort of another new shelter, in yet another make-believe world.

Student Talks: 5/12/2023 - Key Lesson: There can be no "life after death" without realizing an order of Love that has no fear of dying. This Timeless Witness to its (own) creation doesn't see death as the end of life, but rather as its invisible partner in a ceaseless act of love.

Topics covered: If the world was capable of providing you with genuine fulfillment, then it would have done so a long time ago; The explanation of a spiritual truth is not intended to become a soothing affirmation. The explanation is intended to lead to interior exploration and real participation in your own life; Blame is you not helping me to be what I think I need to be...

Student Talks: 11/11/2022 - Key Lesson: Real Life is a miracle unfolding in slow motion. The eyes that can see this truth are those no longer blinded by the nature of thought whose sleight-of-hand creates and sustains the illusion of passing time; to see things as they are is to be what we are: travelers through a time and realm whose peace passes all understanding.
