Student Talks: 1/5/2024 - Key Lesson: Just as the eyes that see the sun cannot understand its light by which they behold the shape and beauty of all things, neither can the heart understand the love that calls it to know and embrace all things. Eye and heart are creatures in time, but Light and Love are not. Even so, they meet; in their union is the mystery, miracle, and fulfillment of our yet realized Divine possibility.

Student Talks: 12/29/2023 - Key Lesson: Blessed are those who do (what they do)... for the love of being a part of what they love; but few are those who know this Divine order of love, let alone what it's like to have Love itself as their life partner.

Topics covered: Love does not appear in a time to come after you get what you want. The Love that we cannot give ourselves is always acting on all of creation; We long to give ourselves to something greater than ourselves, and the longing is placed there within us by what is greater; People are afraid to walk away from things that they think they need to produce for themselves, even though attachment to those very things is the cause of...

Student Talks: 8/11/2023 - Key Lesson: Part 1: There is no relief from the conflict and grief born of unrealized self-ignorance, which is why it's wise to seek self-knowledge. Part 2: The hardest thing in the world is to quietly do what life asks of you; but, if you attend to this first, Divine desire, all else is added... and you "shall not want."

Topics covered: Intellectual knowledge is not the same as understanding. Do not mistake thinking for being; A sudden sense of disturbance comes with the want of relief from that same disturbance; What we really want relief from are the unseen part of our consciousness that by its very nature has attracted the conditions that it then seeks freedom from; What is true refuses to live with conflict or act from weakness.

Topics covered: Bear the manifestation of yourself that you are being given in the moment to see. You are being given something to see about yourself so that you might go through a change; You are the center of every moment of creation because you are centered in a place where all celestial forces come streaming down into you for the purpose of revelation...

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? For whatever world we explore -- inwardly or outwardly -- what is it we uncover there... other than its reflection within us, along with a corresponding knowledge of it; and, if true, where does this new...

Topics covered: You cannot exist without the food of impressions. The soul hungers for spiritual impressions; In order to start having a broader experience, we need a new way to see life; We are created to be aware of what is reflected in our consciousness, and to know it as part of what we already are; The more wholly that something is seen, the more complete is the experience...

Topics Covered: Even though it may sound like a paradox, the quality of obedience is intimately connected to perfect self-command; Real command is not about controlling your own reactions, let alone controlling other people. Anything that you feel you must have control over is in control of you; In order to fulfill its purpose in existence, a seed must die so that it may give birth to another order of itself.

Student Talks: 9/24/2021 - Key Lesson: Part 1: Love is effortless attention. Part 2: In remembering the Divine, in that recollection of the truth of ourselves, we bring to the forefront of our heart and mind an all-encompassing Presence that cannot punish itself, or any other; whereas in forgetfulness, we forgo this relationship, and fall under the authority of a dark nature whose intent is to...

Topics Covered: "What is important is to find out if you're one of those within whom love wishes to dwell." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; Do what is needed to do so that you can be a place within which love wishes to dwell; Everything that we think is so critical to attend to eventually becomes a source of discontent; You have something in you that is in need of nourishment, which means that the first...

Student Talks: 7/9/2021 - Key Lesson: Our greatest gift -- the heart and soul of our Divine possibility -- may be summarized as follows: not only are we created to give ourselves to what we love, but that we are able to discern -- consciously -- the difference between one order of Love that sacrifices itself for the sake of something Greater than itself, and another kind of love... that lives only to give itself what it imagines makes it great.
