Topic: Transform Any Painful Relationship into a Spiritual Triumph (Classroom Talk 4/3/24)

Topics covered: When does the world change? When you change the way you see the world; The blessed ones through the ages have tried to convey the idea that you need new eyes to see what is in front of you all the time but that you don’t currently see.

Student Talks: 10/1/2021 - Key Lesson: Here's why it makes no difference who, or at what we point the finger of blame for any mental or emotional suffering we're given to feel at the time: until we become aware of the unconscious role our own hand plays in the misery of these unwanted moments... nothing can change.

Topics Covered: There is no fight with another person or with life without there being a "you" in it; Whatever we believe we are fighting OVER is not really what we are fighting FOR.
