Sense Of Self

Classroom Talk: 8/6/2003 - Part 1: In direct proportion to the strength of our remembrance of His Life does God grant us His strength. Part 2: Look at what a man labors at and you will know what he loves. Look at what a man loves and you will know whom he serves. Look at what a man serves and you know his master. Look at a man's master and you know his destiny.

Classroom Talk: 6/1/2003 - If we were half as concerned with what we "chew" over in our mind as we are about the kind of foods that we put into our mouth, not only would our soul be better nourished, but our bodies would be healthier too!

Classroom Talk: 4/2/2003 - We cannot stop life from happening, but never recognize this fact, because each time we try (to stop it) all we manage to do is succeed in starting up the machinery of our own misery, and then we mistake this aching for the proof of our power.

Classroom Talk: 3/16/2003 - If we could only remember in those unwanted moments -- when we see where we have been wrong in life -- that this vision is granted us because we have just been visited by some New Light by which to see and know ourselves more truly, then one day we might come to welcome what now seems so unwanted. What does it take to welcome every moment of one's life? Love the Light! 

Classroom Talk: 12/8/2002 - There are two paths through life thought to lead one to a happy Wholeness. The first path is littered with all manner of glittering things that one thinks are needful to complete oneself, while the second path is the way of discovering what one can live without. The former path is always cluttered, and leads only to increased conflict and self-compromise, while the latter path is as simple as it is peaceful in its native innocence.

Classroom Talk: 10/16/2002 - There is no fate worse in life than to be a hater of Truth. And whoever turns against the truth does not know his hatred is secretly of himself, for the shadows that torment him are not caused by the truth but are the dark effect of his having turned his back on the Living Light.

Classroom Talk: 9/1/2002 - The only true solution to that constant press of discontentment in our lives is not to acquire more of what has proven powerless to please us, but to consciously detach ourselves from that level of self that believes the path to contentment is paved by continually thinking about what is missing from one's life.

Classroom Talk: 7/7/2002 - Spiritual speaking... Knowledge by itself can change nothing real. Effort without knowledge is directionless. Only knowledgeable efforts reveal the hidden structure of God's Reality and permit us to change our relationship to, and within, that Greater Life.
