Classroom Talk: 4/3/2024 - When it comes to conflict between us, and any other -- let alone a person we may love -- anytime there's some kind of painful drama being enacted... each of us is responsible for whatever continues to be played out on that stage.

Student Talks: 3/29/2024 - Key Lesson: We are not being called to be more than we are, let alone to judge ourselves when we see we have missed the mark; rather, we are here to discover ALL that we have been given, and how - if we dare accept this unimaginable gift - we will see it multiplied a hundredfold.

Classroom Talk: 8/24/2022 - We all want to be free of painful dramas in our life, yet refuse to see how we play a lead role in their daily appearance.

Classroom Talk: 11/25/2020 - It takes us less than a second to tell someone, "I love you," but a lifetime or more to learn not just what it really means...but what we must give up -- of ourselves -- in order to be able to do so.

Student Talks: 10/11/2019 - Key Lesson: It's impossible to resist the revelations inherent in our day-to-day interactions with life, and to realize the lessons they bring with them at the same time.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of October 22, 2018. We must persist in finding out that we don't know what we think we do... until the presence of any "knower" within us is seen as being one and the same as the cause of all our useless suffering.
