End the Dark Cycle of Discontentment - Part III...

Classroom Talk: 11/29/2023 - Our unconscious resistance to any unwanted moment ensures its continuation, and here's why: there is no lingering resistance that's not a creation of some form of (unseen) identification with the moment being resisted. To this understanding, add the following insight by whose light we are helped set free: identification is fixation, which means the more we struggle to escape any unwanted moment...

Classroom Talk: 10/18/2023 - Any action we take initiated by resisting some unwanted moment ensures the continuation of an unconscious, deeply conflicted nature so asleep to itself that it can't tell the difference between struggling to escape a prison, and not walking into one in the first place.

Classroom Talk: 10/4/2023 - The consistency of any painful, negative reaction to some person or event doesn't prove -- as we imagine it does -- that the "guilty" party remains unchanged as "charged." Rather, what it does show -- at the very least -- is that it is we who are unchanged: an unwitting captive of being unconsciously identified with our own negative reaction.

Classroom Talk: 8/2/2023 - There is no new resistance; regardless how "fresh" the nature of a negative state -- be it fear, anger, frustration or regret -- the only thing that's actually changed in any seemingly new painful moment is what's being blamed for its appearance.

Classroom Talk: 6/28/2023 - Part 1: Hidden deep within every desire there dwells an unseen fire; handle carefully... if you don't want to get burned. Part 2: A divided mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat; not only is it incapable of seeing its own contradictions, but then it struggles with them in a futile attempt to free itself from a conflict that wouldn't exist if it didn't first create it somewhere in the darkness of itself.

Classroom Talk: 5/31/2023 - Part1: The fear of pain, the pain of fear: See how they feed one another... And (your) liberation draws near. Part 2: Just as the threshold of a house is recognized as the entrance into it, so should our pain be seen, and understood, in a similar light... for its appearance tells the same story, only in spiritual terms: not only (is it) a doorway into an increasingly fearless...

Classroom Talk: 4/12/2023 - A great spiritual mystery: self-liberation is either found within what we're given to see, or not at all; the only thing we escape when running from any unwanted realization is the possibility of discovering its Divine purpose... whose revelation is the same as transforming and transcending it.

Classroom Talk: 2/8/2023 - All careless actions are the creation of an unconscious nature unable to care about anything other than what it wants... which always involves how to resolve, or otherwise avoid dealing with the outcome of the last careless action it took!

Classroom Talk: 7/20/2022 - Part 1: There can be no painful resistance to any moment of life that isn't born of some unseen form of insistence that it unfold only as we've imagined it should. Part 2: While it is possible to have thousands of different kinds of life experiences, there can be no possible change in the way we experience our life... that doesn't begin with transforming...

Classroom Talk: 3/30/2022 - Any resistance to the revelation of some weakness within us, is the weakness; so that contrary to the way we now perceive these painful moments, the resistance we feel to any unwanted moment is not there to punish us, but rather to help polish and perfect the incomplete character within us that it has come to reveal.
