Impressions

Remastered Classic Talk: 11/25/15 - 

Part 1: If it is our wish to touch what is whole, to be touched by what is holy... then we must stop "reaching" (for it) and start being the seeing that is already the whole of us.

Part 2: We cannot "make" things whole any more than the moon makes itself full by its own light. Rather our work is to serve as a witness to life's ceaseless, concurrent appearance of fullness and emptiness and, by so doing, to unite (within us) the awareness of Timeless consciousness with the experience of its own creations living in time.

Student Talks: 07/11/2025 - The truth is, it’s not the moment that’s unfolding before your eyes — nor even your experience of it. Rather, it is you — your true Self — unfolding in the ceaseless revelation of a Timeless Life, inseparable from the Divine Light that serves to reveal it.

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.

Remastered Classic Talk: 02/03/16 - You are responsible for every impression you make on others; however what they make of your work is no longer your responsibility.

Classroom Talk: 10/2/2024 - Continuing to look for something new outside of yourself is like rearranging the clothes in your closet and, after you're done, going back through it hoping to find the experience of some unexpected joy.

Topic: How to Turn the Mountain of Any Unwanted Moment into a Molehill (Classroom Talk 7/24/24)

Student Talks: 3/22/2024 - Key Lesson: Once we learn what it means to see ourselves, to accept every impression as the herald of the new self-knowledge that it brings, then we will not only understand what it means to welcome each such revelation - whether wanted, or not - but to receive, with grace, whatever we are given to see as being true about ourselves.

Student Talks: 6/9/2023 - Key Lesson: Part 1: We cannot know the depth and breadth of our highest, heavenly possibilities as long as we fear to explore, realize, and release all that keeps us bound to this earth. Part 2: Our unconscious conditioning goes before us every moment, acting as the unseen judge, jury, and "executioner" of each, and every moment of our life.

Topics covered: Nothing can change in our experience of life until there is a change in the understanding of our experience; The purpose of every event is to help us change our understanding, so that we don't exit events as the same person that went into it; If we learned the lesson in the moment, then we wouldn't have to repeat the same moment over and over again in the same way.

Student Talks: 3/3/2023 - Key Lesson: Thought is a stoppage; it is an impediment in the celestial circulation of new impressions created to refresh the consciousness in which they appear.

Topics covered: How is it possible for you to act against yourself? Something in you is urging you to act against yourself. So when you act against yourself, it is not really yourself at all; We are without knowing it shifted from one 'I' to another according to the prevailing condition; The little 'i' of the moment depends upon the condition that it is identified with for its temporary existence...

Student Talks: 9/30/2022 - Key Lesson: Into what do we gaze when looking through a telescope or microscope... other than into the yet discovered depths of our own consciousness?
