Topic: Start Seeing How Others See You and Watch Old Conflicts Fade From View (Remastered Classic Talk)(Classroom Talk 3/12/25)

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/09/16 - It is virtually impossible to consciously bear the unpleasant manifestation of any other human being until we have awakened to the same manifestation in ourselves, and learned to consciously suffer it.

Topic: Awaken to the Self Beyond Circumstance, Conflict, and Time (Remastered Classic Talk)(Classroom Talk 2/26/25)

Topics covered: Enlightenment is not waiting for you someplace, or born out of a knowledge you acquire, or an action that you take. Enlightenment is everywhere; Correct action at the right time is wisdom, and that wisdom is freedom; All confusion is born out of insistence. If I insist, I can't see. If I can't see, I struggle. What do I struggle with? What’s right in front of my eyes that I can’t see. That's confusion...
