Negative States

Topics covered:  Every day of your life is meant to include a new revelation of something that has always been within you, but that you were not aware of before; If you know so much, then why are you still so afraid?; When we are fighting with a moment, it is another will that has come into our life and acts in our name, but we don't know it.

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/05/17 - What is the true spiritual journey other than the discovery that who we really are is (a) part of a Consciousness that remains, at least for now, unconscious... not just of itself, but also to the suffering inherent in being apart from the Holiness of life.

Topic: Jump Off the Pain Train (Remastered Classic Talk) (Classroom Talk 4/1/26)

Student Talks: 03/20/2026 - 

Part 1: I can't speak to you of life without speaking to you of death; not the death we fear, but the fear we have of it. For to live in fear is to die in slow motion.

Part 2: Our principle fear is not what any moment may or may not bring, rather what we really fear in any unwanted moment is our reaction to it.

Topic: Catch the Negative Reaction of the Self-Centered Kind (Remastered Classic Talk) (Classroom Talk 10/1/25)

Student Talks: 05/16/2025 - The only thing good about any negative reaction is the revelation of how useless is that (level of) suffering to change anything about our present nature, let alone the condition it convinces us to blame for its pain.

Student Talks: 05/9/2025 - Spiritually speaking, the Light of awareness is the universal solvent.

Let every search for a solution to the suffering you feel begin in the unlit corners of your own consciousness, and soon you will never again wonder "why" you feel the worries, fear, and the bitterness that you do.

Remastered Classic Talk: 04/13/16 - No worldly acclaim or possession can ever make us feel whole, let alone free us from that irreconcilable fear that comes with feeling ourselves as apart from others, and from life itself. Only by consistent, persistent interior work to remain awake and watchful can we place ourselves in a conscious relationship with higher, eternal influences... under whose authority are we released, at once, from the illusion of isolation and the dreadful sense of desperation that comes with it.

Topics covered:  A "winner" according to the world is someone who gets what he or she wants. These "winners" then have to protect what has been won; Real freedom is to no longer feel the need to protect what you believe you have won; A real winner, in the higher sense, is someone who exits the moment with more understanding than when he or she entered into it.

Topics covered:  Most of us have agreed to settle for a life that is "not as bad as that other person's life."; We presently set out on a search outside of ourselves to find a life without fear, not understanding that it is all an interior matter and that we do not have to go anywhere in order to find out for ourselves; In negative imagination we struggle to make real what is already real.
