Classroom Talk: 4/21/2024 - A tree has many leaves, and -- in one way or another -- the wind touches all of them; some shake, some quiver, some hardly move at all. And, yes: it may be said the tree "knows" their trembling; but neither the wind, nor the leaves it stirs are the tree that feels their passing touch. Thoughts and feelings are like leaves; learning to watch them move is much better than being carried away with every breeze.

Classroom Talk: 3/17/2024 - Once we learn what it means to see ourselves, to accept every impression as the herald of the new self-knowledge that it brings, then we will not only understand what it means to welcome each such revelation - whether wanted, or not - but to receive, with grace, whatever we are given to see as being true about ourselves.

Classroom Talk: 11/5/2023 - Our highest possibility for spiritual growth can't be separated from our daily work to question, explore, and illuminate any dark thoughts and feelings that may confront us along the Way.

Classroom Talk: 10/2/2022 - Do what's wise, then what's desired. In the Light of that order is balance maintained, and all things otherwise thought profitable realized, accordingly.

Classroom Talk: 6/24/2022 - In the timeless accord of perfect silence speaks the Divine: "I AM the message in every moment; you are the messenger: learn to read."

Classroom Talk: 8/22/2021 - Part 1: There is no solving the mystery of ourselves without having first solved the mystery of our suffering... which is why so few become self-realized, let alone set free. Part 2: Useless suffering has but a single cause. It rests within a deeply-seated, punishing illusion that Life - as it unfolds before and within us - is somehow interfering with our own best, and truest interests.

Classroom Talk: 8/2/2020 - Here's why no spiritual "secret" -- in and of itself -- has the power to transform, let alone raise our consciousness in any meaningful way: no self-knowledge, regardless how subtle, can serve its true purpose unless it is accompanied by the one element capable of actualizing it: consistent, persistent self-honesty.

Classroom Talk: 3/25/2020 - During this crisis, it is physically necessary to be vigilant: to keep the prescribed social distance from others.
