    Have you ever experienced a barrage of pressing thoughts telling you what you need to do in order to make a problem go away? All of those frantic thoughts are essentially saying "Follow me" as they present their advice. The Divine never pressures a person into following anything. Instead, the Divine is always gently whispering, "I am here."

    Classroom Talk: 12/5/2021 - Part 1: The search for your true timeless Self begins and ends with being true to yourself; no other path exists; no power is required to walk it. Part 2: The reason the true path to self-realization is referred to as being nameless is because unless the one who walks has no name... then it is not the true path.
