Topic: Start Looking in the Right Direction for Self-Liberation (Classroom Talk 4/13/22)

Topics covered: In order to learn the right lessons and see the right things, you first have to look in the right direction; Being in a negative state cuts a person off from the nourishment freely and naturally given in every moment; Questions about what to do always appear whenever we find ourselves in a pit of some kind.
