Life is Relationship

Topic: Do This to Awaken the Genius that Sleeps in You (Remastered Classic Talk) (Classroom Talk 5/20/26)

Student Talks: 04/03/2026 - By itself, no thought has the power to trouble us; its authority over us is equal to the extent we are deceived into identifying with its particular, temporary character.

Remastered Classic Talk: 11/11/15 - Just as a river is renewed -- each moment -- by the creeks and brooks that flow into it, so is our soul intended to be renewed by streams of Light, and all that they serve to reveal; of course... this assumes one thing: that we are empty enough -- each moment -- to receive this ceaseless flow of celestial impressions as they pour themselves into us.

Remastered Classic Talk: 04/20/16 - All of our imagined hopes and plans for the promising pleasures of "tomorrow" are crafted by the parts of us determined to keep us from seeing what we're being given to see about ourselves in each and every present moment.

While it's impossible to be entirely free of a psychological body -- including the elements inherent in the constant appearance of its deeply conditioned reactions -- we are free to change our relationship to that body and -- in so doing -- start working to liberate ourselves from being unconsciously identified with what amounts to negative thoughts and feelings of the self-created kind.

Student Talks: 11/08/2024 - Key Lesson: Persistence – without our awareness of the parts of us that steadily insist there’s no further we can go – is a recipe for frustration; this painful sense of self slowly morphs from simple despair into an unholy cynicism that, in turn, serves to confirm what we see as our own unwanted, but unavoidable conclusion: we’ve no other choice but to give up our wish to transcend whatever limitation we’d been called to outgrow.

Student Talks: 11/01/2024 - Key Lesson: Realize the Divine Order of Life at Work in You and Watch Fear and Worry Disappear

Student Talks: 11/5/2021 - Key Lesson: Spiritual wisdom is our greatest wealth. And when, at long last we see this is true -- so that our first love in life becomes the wish to discover the truth of ourselves -- then each moment of every relationship serves as the doorway to the indwelling Divine.

Topics Covered: Wisdom, peace and silence are intimately connected to a new understanding of a unity that had always been here; Thoughts are outside of you, and you will not find wisdom through them; We do not know how to search for wisdom because we do not yet know how to BE; How did the wise man become wise? He stopped answering his own questions...

Classroom Talk: 05/31/2026 - Participating in the revelation of creation is the entrance into the realization of God’s life, paid for by the sacrifice of the lower self.
