Self-Compromise

Classroom Talk: 7/7/2024 - Believing that avoiding the experience of an unwanted, or otherwise unknown moment is the same as freedom from the fear of it is like being lost in the African bush, crossing paths with a hungry lion, and hoping that if you just look the other way... it will too!

Classroom Talk: 11/24/2004 - The higher the Love we would know, the more steep runs its cost.
