Inner Peace

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.

When we know we can't put out a fire by feeding it more wood, then why don't we see the futility of trying to calm a mind enflamed by its own thinking... by adding more thoughts?

Classroom Talk: 9/21/2022 - Here is the real "secret" of starting over: No moment in life can be any newer than we are willing to be... that is, assuming we continuously agree to step -- consciously -- into its timeless stream.

Classroom Talk: 11/6/2022 - 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.

Classroom Talk: 5/29/2022 - When it comes to developing a living relationship with the Divine, good intentions cost nothing, which is why the road to hell is paved with useless coins. On the other hand, making conscious efforts comes with the cost of encountering the reality of our present level of being; of seeing what we are actually capable of doing, and what we are not...

Classroom Talk: 2/6/2019 - Part 1: Before we can have a conscious relationship with what is Timeless, before we can know a "peace that passes all understanding," there must come a series of (conscious) shocks that prove the truth of the following to us: any imagined time, power, or possession to come...
