Topic: A Tough Talk About the Nature of True Individuality (Remastered Classic Talk) (Classroom Talk 12/24/25)

Remastered Classic Talk: 12/21/16 - The Kingdom of Heaven -- the True Self for which we seek -- dwells within us, and above us at the same time. To sense this as true, even in the smallest way, is an invitation and an instruction, all at once. For not only must we know "where" these Divine forces meet and marry within us, but that we must also develop the attention we need to be able to stand "there"...in the midst of their eternal convergence.

Student Talks: 11/28/2025 - The clearer we can see that negative states must have an excuse to exist within us, the sooner -- and more strongly -- will arise in us a refusal to grant them a place anywhere in our heart, mind, or soul.

Topics covered:  Presently you are looking to find your place in life. What you should be doing is seeing what is out of place in your life; Hidden within the reaction that says "Make something happen!" is the unseen belief that you will lose something valuable if you do not. The unseen fear that demands that you make something happen threatens you with loss if you do not do as it commands.

Topics covered: The Truth awakens a possibility that is literally beyond imagination. It is a kingdom within us that is not determined by thought; What we call our happiness or peace can be ruined by a single disturbance, and instead of happiness and peace, there is resistance.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/19/15 - When we stop blaming the darkness, or ourselves, for having been walking in it, and decide, instead, to thank the Light for showing us the truth of our actual estate... then we turn the corner in our work to awaken conscience.

Student Talks: 07/25/2025 - Our true nature is not discovered by acquiring new knowledge, but by awakening to what has always been present: the light of a living awareness, waiting to be awakened, and realized as being inseparable from one’s True Self.  

When we rest in patience, life never fails to reveal the silent wholeness of its celestial design. But without it, we are condemned to a fruitless labor: defending not only the painful illusion that our imagined life is meant to continue uninterrupted, but also that everyone and everything in it exists solely to ensure that nothing disturbs -- let alone challenges -- what we've imagined life to be.

Student Talks: 04/25/2025 - The life and death of the Christ did not happen two-thousand years ago, any more than the rising and setting of the sun belongs to a particular place and time. Seen, or not, the life of Christ is always now…as is His sacrifice for the sake of the continuing perfection of the human Soul.

Topics covered:  We are born to search, but we keep running into dead ends, feeling like we are missing something. We only know to look for what our present level of understanding tells us is missing; "Metanoia" refers to the possibility of a higher part of ourselves that we are not present to. We would not know that we are presently blind were it not for an order of awareness that sees.

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/23/16 - Being responsible for our negative reactions begins with becoming aware of them. For instance, until we can observe and learn what it means to be consciously passive to our own negative reactions then what else can we do but go on identifying with them and embracing, by default, the false perception that someone or something else is responsible for our pain.

Topics covered:  Demands, and the sense of self that come with them, are blind because they mistake the part for the whole, incapable of seeing the bigger picture; Parables and teaching stories are able to communicate truths to us in ways that other means of communication cannot; In the story of the King looking for a new Governor for the Kingdom of Agape, most of the candidates were self-serving motives and full of demands, seeking more power and authority. The one who was selected said, "How can I be useful to you? How can I best serve what it is that you Will for the Kingdom?"
