Topic: Transform Painful Resistance into Your Personal Spiritual Assistant (10/6/21 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: There is no such thing as a compulsion that is pleasurable; If every solution to our pain has proved to be useless, then the suffering that compelled us to seek the solution was equally useless. Not only are the solutions to our pain false, but so is the "self" that dreams them up; A problem may go away, but the nature that creates the problem does not go away...

Classroom Talk: 10/6/2021 - The more we dwell on something that we wish wasn't so, the more we soak ourselves in negative energies created by our own resistance. The longer we soak, the more we suffer; the more we suffer, the more we resist what seems to be the unwanted event when, in truth, what we are really drowning in are the dark waves of our own un-investigated consciousness.

Topic: Be All that You Are and Be Set Free (2/24/21 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: How do our negative reactions begin? There is no negativity that is not rooted in resistance to the way that the moment unfolds; We get negative when events don't go precisely the way that we have imagined. This means that, without knowing it, we come into these moments carrying images; Everything that happens in any moment unfolds within us...

Classroom Talk: 2/24/2021 - Unconscious opposition to unwanted moments can never change the condition being opposed because the lower nature responsible for mounting this opposing force not only remains unchanged, but resists all that it does in order to ceaselessly re-create itself... Including the unwanted moments in which...

Student Talks: 2/5/2021 - Key Lesson: The more we will deliberately work to take time out of our day to remember -- and embrace -- what we know is Timeless and True, the more aware we will become of an Indwelling Light whose perfect grace reveals the means and the way to be made new... and new again.

Topics Covered: We presently spend too much time in worldly pursuits because we don't know that there is another world that sits above this present level of consciousness; Real peace cannot be interrupted. Real peace looks for nothing and wants for nothing; Most of our attention is dedicated to a "time to come" in which there will be a "me" that will find peace and be free...

Classroom Talk: 1/31/2021 - The more we will deliberately work to take time out of our day to remember -- and embrace -- what we know is Timeless and True, the more aware we will become of an Indwelling Light whose perfect grace reveals the means and the way to be made new... and new again.

When we look at life and we see a problem, are we looking at life that has a problem that's fixed, or are we looking at something in our own consciousness that has fixed something and called it a problem? We're looking in our own mind and it is showing us something that is fixed, yet we know it's not because life itself is fluid; it is potential. But our mind doesn't relate to what...

Student Talks: 10/16/2020 - Key Lesson: Part 1: We cannot live in fear of discovering the truth about ourselves, about our life... and hope to find the truth at the same time. Part 2: Here's an immutable spiritual law: we will never know all it's possible for us to be until we agree to consciously empty ourselves of all that we have been...

Topics Covered: Real life is actually set up to help you succeed at becoming a better human being; The lesson in an unwanted moment is an unexpected gift, and the gift is the realization that it is time to make a real change in our life; There is a level of consciousness that keeps covering up moments that it doesn't want with what it does want. The only real solution lies in the...
