Light, love -- all that is good and holy -- already exists. All the wisdom you and I will ever need already lives within us. It's just that we are not where the wisdom is. Why? Because we want to know, to prove, to get. We want to be seen as something special. All of us with that mindset are set to suffer ourselves until one day we see, "This doesn't work." In that same moment the epiphany comes, and suddenly we can see what we have been...

I want you to remember for the rest of your life on this earth that you were never created to be the slave of any negative thought or feeling, that you were never created to be the subject of some limitation. The only way you'll ever know the truth of that statement is when, through what is ultimately a long process in this education of the soul, you begin at last to experience the dawning o...

Classroom Talk: 4/14/2024 - If -- by the light of remembering and considering what is Timeless, Holy, and True -- the heart is warmed and gradually enflamed, then the following must be true, even if yet to be seen: within us must dwell some sort of celestial kindling; what else can explain how such a flame is created, let alone serve as a light in the darkness of the soul... uniting the twain, making of them as one.

Topics covered: It is very unnatural to have an unexamined life; It feels to most of us as if life is always asking, "What are you gonna do? How are you gonna handle that? What's next? What about this and what about that?"; Tension seems to demand that you respond to it; So much of our time is spent trying to sort out why we feel the way we do; The mind is always disturbed because it never stops comparing...

Classroom Talk: 4/3/2022 - Practicing the Presence -- working to remember the truth of yourself -- doesn't necessarily change the kind of events that come to you; that's not how it works. But, what your inner work does change is for whom -- upon what 'I' -- will these events fall and, accordingly, the purpose they serve.

Classroom Talk: 12/12/2021 - What is, always was; but what always was... need not remain as it is.

Classroom Talk: 9/19/2021 - Part 1: Love is effortless attention. Part 2: In remembering the Divine, in that recollection of the truth of ourselves, we bring to the forefront of our heart and mind an all-encompassing Presence that cannot punish itself, or any other; whereas in forgetfulness, we forgo this relationship, and fall under the authority of a dark nature whose intent is to...

Classroom Talk: 11/20/2019 In real life there are no "tracks" to follow, but thought runs along the tracks of memory, and memory always departs from, and returns to the same station: the PAST.
