Self-Deception

Topics covered: When it comes to the Truth, there is no prescription that tastes good. The medicine is bitter, but it heals; Everything that is not 100% aligned with God's Will suffers as a result of that separation; Stop asking so many questions, and start seeing what is right in front of your eyes; Humanity dwells in a hell of its own making. To be full of anger, self-pity, resentment, fear, or any other negative state is to dwell in hell. Unconscious suffering is hell.

Topics covered: "Perfect freedom belongs to a nature that nothing can touch, therefore it has no fear of being tied down; Your mind as it is lives in a constant state of imagination; The same nature that lives in hell creates a heaven for itself. Being lost in imagination of a time to come is hell."

Remastered Classic Talk: 05/11/16 - Everything moves in ITS time, as are we intended to within that same movement. Learning what it means to be in this accord with Life, doing what it gives us (to do and to be) in the moment appointed is our path, gradually leading us to a kind of perfection without pride even as it fulfills our purpose at the same time.

We are meant to live where no one else has ever been, forever stepping into a world that is being made new with every step we take into it.

Topic: Escape the Circle of Suffering Born of Unconscious Identification (Remastered Classic Talk)(Classroom Talk 4/2/25)

Classroom Talk: 9/4/2024 - When any lie is passed down from one generation to the next, it not only becomes what is believed as being true but, as such, becomes the unsuspected seed of fear, mistrust, doubt, and the pain of unseen self-conflict.

Topics covered: People who are addicted to something lie to themselves, listening to something in themselves that justifies their behavior; "An unexamined life is not worth living." (Socrates) The act of true self-observation is constant self-examination. Little by little, you will want to spend more time in a properly contemplative state; Through self-examination we see what it is interiorly that is presently harming us, instead of unconsciously agreeing...

Classroom Talk: 7/3/2024 - Honesty heals; lies hurt. In these four words live all one needs to know and practice—that is, assuming one wishes to be whole, harmless, loving, and true.

The purpose of a compass is not to tell you who or what you are; it's created to give you trusted guidance, so you don't lose your way. So it is with any revelation about yourself; its (Divine) light is to help you see all that you may yet be, and certainly not to judge you over what you are not.

We are not being called to be more than we are, let alone to judge ourselves when we see we have missed the mark; rather, we are here to discover ALL that we are being given, and how - if we dare accept this unimaginable gift - we will see it multiplied a hundredfold.

Topics covered: Every step along the way to liberation is the same step: seeing the truth of yourself as you are in the present moment; Not one good thing has ever come out of impatience, irritability, resentment, or any other kind of negative state; We are not the way that we currently are because of any other person, any circumstance, any event, nor because of anything else outside of us...

Classroom Talk: 8/16/2023 - One of the ways the unconscious, divided mind hides the pain inherent in its conflicted nature -- not to mention its inability to bring an end to its suffering -- is by repeatedly condemning itself for doing, repeatedly, the very thing it keeps telling itself it doesn't want to do again.
