Topic: Enter the Unseen Temple of the Indwelling Divine (Classroom Talk 1/3/24)

Topics covered: We cannot have a change in life until we have a change in light. Which means that we need a new kind of understanding that allows us to see each moment and our relationship with it; With thought we try to figure out what to do with moments, figure out whether or not we want them, instead of being present to the moment, which includes all the right instructions about any possible actions to take.

Classroom Talk: 1/3/2024 - Higher self-awareness is a sacrificial fire; both a flame and its light, it alone is capable of illuminating, and then consuming the shadows cast forth from the world of dreams within which, alone, they dwell; the light of this awareness is a fire that does not burn.

Topic: How to Let Go and Enter the Divine Flow of Life: Part 2 (Classroom Talk 3/1/23)

Topics covered: The moment that you start thinking about being in the flow, you are cast out of the flow; Resistance to the disturbance seems to prove that we would be content if it were not for the disturbance; When a dream is interrupted, the dreamer comes up with a plan to get rid of whatever is obstructing the dream; Identification with anything always places a person outside of where the real flow exists.

Student Talks: 1/6/2023 - Key Lesson: Nothing ends that something doesn't begin; nothing begins that something doesn't end.

As neither of these psychological states, including the false sense of self (unconsciously) derived from them, exists without the temporary conditions that create the illusion of their reality.

Topics covered: Until we see a bigger picture of the real world that we live in, we won't be able to really know and experience endless new beginnings; If you want to experience what is new, then you are going to have to let go of your ideas about newness in favor of the actual relationship with what is always new; We can see the evidence of renewal all around us...

Student Talks: 8/26/2022 - Key Lesson: To see all that I am... is to be all that I am; and when, at last, I am willing to see -- and to be all that I am -- there no longer remains any separate, isolated, lingering sense of self struggling to be, or not to be.

Topics covered: Every condition that you see outside of yourself is a reflection of something that is already in your consciousness; Life is ceaselessly being renewed, always giving birth to a new form; The level of consciousness that we presently live from is a psychological hoarder, not able to let go of and creating a storehouse the images that provide a strong sense of self.

Student Talks: 1/7/2022 - Key Lesson: Much as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so it holds true: our experience of any given moment -- for its light or darkness -- its joy or sorrow -- is cast in the image of the consciousness momentarily awakened to reflect upon itself.

Student Talks: 11/19/2021 - Key Lesson: It is an eternal law: everything is always being changed, ceaselessly transformed into something else; but within us dwells the light of a Divine intelligence that is the unchanging center of all there is, or that ever will be.
