Past

Guy provides deeper insight into ideas from recent talks as students report on their experiences and observations while working with various exercises. Topics include consciously choosing not to go with old patterns, bearing the pressure of painful thoughts, and working to allow revelation.

Classroom Talk: 06/14/2026 - The sleeping mind is a ghost. It doesn’t want to see how much it loves the haunted house it claims it can’t stand living in, but yet won’t leave.

Classroom Talk: 03/29/2026 - 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.

Classroom Talk: 03/08/2026 - The fact that we can be aware of – a witness to the experience of our own reactions proves, undeniably, the existence of a higher order of being that is not bound by them, let alone to the subsequent actions they tell us we must take.

Topics covered:  The antidote is in the venom. Likewise, the answer that you look for to ease a pain is not outside of the moment that the pain appears; It is the way that you see the moment that produces the feeling of being seized by it; Does a moment itself, as it is, have any psychological weight? No, the weight is in the consciousness that struggles against the moment.

Classroom Talk: 03/01/2026 - The fortunate soul who, seeing with only one eye -- even it, barely half-open -- is, in fact, a virtual king in any realm where all of its citizens are blind.

Classroom Talk: 10/12/2025 - There is no painful state of psychological resistance to any given moment that isn’t preceded by some form of unseen demand that we have brought with us into that moment.
