Judgment

Student Talks: 9/19/2025 - We are not only complacent in cultivating the imperfections inherent in our divided nature, but increasingly—individually and culturally—we glorify these very weaknesses that, by grace, are revealed for what they are: stumbling blocks to the soul’s development.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/14/16 - Part 1: Real-life is the ceaseless expression of converging celestial forces as altogether they manifest what "cries out" to be harmonized in creation by the (merciful and loving) will of the Creator.

Part 2: Most everything that we think we "see"... isn't as it appears to be; that's why "wait and watch" is the true path that leads to the summit of higher self-knowledge.

Remastered Classic Talk: 07/27/16 - Spiritually speaking, as a required agreement essential in facilitating one's rebirth, one must learn what it means to be at peace with suffering the level of oneself that can never know the peace it seeks.

Remastered Classic Talk: 06/01/16 - 

Emergency! Then urgency!
Oh my... such an important me.
In this blindness, it's unkindness
Too late I see... the insensitivity
Of unseen self-captivity.

Topic: Enter Into the Current That is Your Home (Remastered Classic Talk)(Classroom Talk 5/14/25)

Topics covered:  We are born to search, but we keep running into dead ends, feeling like we are missing something. We only know to look for what our present level of understanding tells us is missing; "Metanoia" refers to the possibility of a higher part of ourselves that we are not present to. We would not know that we are presently blind were it not for an order of awareness that sees.

Student Talks: 3/28/2025 - We can be -- and often are -- sound asleep going through the motions of life with our eyes wide open. To be able to see — to be aware of - what our mind is actually looking at, experiencing, and responding to…is the first step in the process of awakening; it not only strengthens our wish to attend to the present moment, but to remember that any time our mind is unattended…it slumbers in fitful dreams, from which it cannot awaken itself. 

Topic: Take the True Path That Leads to Being "Free From All Men" (Remastered Classic Talk) (Classroom Talk 2/5/25)

Student Talks: 2/07/2025 - Nothing created has (a) weakness that isn't (already) married to a strength that fulfills its purpose. The only exception to this celestial law is found in an unconscious nature that imagines it has some strength of its own, and that - for having become identified with the illusion of this false image - lives in constant fear of anything that comes along to challenge its dream.

Student Talks: 1/24/2025 - Awakening is the (graduated) process of negating all forms of identification; (it is) the realization that no matter how real the feel of any familiar sense of self -- for its pleasure, or pain -- nevertheless: no sensation does a “self” make, any more than a wave on the sea makes the sea from out of which it rises, and must return.

Only in our conscious awareness of a personal limitation -- through our ability to sense the presence of any indwelling negative, or otherwise self-denigrating thought or feeling -- is realized the strength we need to die to an unconscious nature that, otherwise... lives to ensure that we accept its dark and limited view of life as our own.

It should be obvious, but it's not: we can't protect our heart and keep it open at the same time, any more than it's possible to be covered by a shadow, and feel the caress of a sunbeam touching our face.
