Student Talks: 7/9/2021 - Key Lesson: Our greatest gift -- the heart and soul of our Divine possibility -- may be summarized as follows: not only are we created to give ourselves to what we love, but that we are able to discern -- consciously -- the difference between one order of Love that sacrifices itself for the sake of something Greater than itself, and another kind of love... that lives only to give itself what it imagines makes it great.

Topics Covered: We don't want to go through what we will awaken in another human being if we were to do what we know needs to be done or said; The understanding I have of my negative reactions is given to me by the consciousness that lives in fear; Every reaction comes with an explanation for itself; What's true never needs to defend itself, and what's false never can defend itself...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of August 13, 2018.
