Student Talks: 4/8/2022 - Key Lesson: Practicing the Presence -- working to remember the truth of yourself -- doesn't necessarily change the kind of events that come to you; that's not how it works. But, what your inner work does change is for whom -- upon what 'I' -- will these events fall and, accordingly, the purpose they serve.

Topics covered: Reality, inner and outer, is a lot bigger than our thoughts about it; We have an innate longing to belong to something greater than ourselves; Thought is the limitation, not the way to transcend limitation. Identification with thought stops exploration and discovery; The greater our resistance to any unwanted moment, the bigger that moment seems...

Topic: The First and Last Law of Self-Liberation (12/2/20 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: There cannot be fear without unconscious desire. When there is no fear, then there is no conflict.

Student Talks: 11/20/2020 - Key Lesson: When it comes to the Great Way that leads to self-liberation -- of entering the Kingdoms above and beyond this temporal realm -- there is no such thing as "getting there."
