Student Talks: 7/22/2022 - Key Lesson: Until the lesson in the repetition of any painful experience is realized as inseparable from the level of consciousness responsible for its reincarnation, there can be no lesson learned, let alone any measure of freedom from all such unwanted moments.

Topics covered: Liberation is simple.
