Classroom Talk: 12/27/2023 - The light we need to be free is always with us; it is at once a creation of life, and the Life that creates it... where "both" are revealed in every moment of life, inseparable from the Divine life within which they ceaselessly unfold. Enlightenment is one and the same as (a) conscious relationship with this timeless order of Being.

Student Talks: 11/17/2023 - Key Lesson: Anytime we struggle in the dark of ourselves -- trying to change our nature -- our efforts are misdirected; our real work is to learn to see by the light that dwells in that darkness, and to know the truth of ourselves, as (it is) revealed.

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.

Part 2: Rough edges attract grinding wheels.

Classroom Talk: 1/5/2020 - Part 1: No seed -- whether a kernel of corn, or a special talent -- can prove itself more valuable than the sweat it takes to sow it -- cultivate & nourish it -- until it offers up its latent Good. In much the same way, the soul is a seed; relationships are its ground; and what grows when all is properly cared for... is Love...

Student Talks: 10/4/2019 - Key Lesson: The more we learn to let go and give ourselves to the greater Good, the more Good we will find in everything we are given to go through in this life.
