Spiritual Work

Student Talks: 06/19/2026 - The sleeping mind is a ghost. It doesn’t want to see how much it loves the haunted house it claims it can’t stand living in, but yet won’t leave.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/14/17 - Being renewed by Life, and beginning your life all over again are one and the same interior action: it starts with becoming aware of, and then bringing a conscious end to all lingering relationships you may have with old thoughts and feelings that want you to keep seeing your life through their eyes.

Remastered Classic Talk: 1/18/17 - Action without knowledge is reckless at best, and is almost always dangerous to everyone involved. Knowledge without action is useless at best, and guarantees that the individual who is "inclined to recline" will remain in the realm of the sleeping intellect.

Remastered Classic Talk: 12/28/16 - In this world we are seized by desires that affirm the illusion of the opposites wherein, from out of their appearance, is born a separate sense of self that feels it must possess what is desired, or "die". In the spiritual world there is a holy desire; but being seized by it leads to the abnegation of identification; because what holiness desires is atonement: the end of the false sense of self created by unconsciously identifying with any opposite.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/15/16 - It is possible to know so much about the nature of fear that, one day, it simply runs out of ways to make you believe in its shaking.

Student Talks: 9/27/2024 - Key Lesson: You are a creation of the Deep; drawn to explore not just an unknowable mystery, but to take an unimaginable journey into the depths of an unnameable Being...and all without having to take a single step outside of yourself.

Classroom Talk: 4/24/2024 - Here's why truth teachings through the ages speak of our being "blind," as well as why -- if we hope to know the Divine -- we need new "eyes to see": As surely as the still waters of a mountain lake reflect the light of the moon, or that an injury starts to heal in the same moment incurred, the answer to the question "who am I?" is always in plain sight.

Student Talks: 3/8/2024 - Key Lesson: Once we understand that all forces - even the seemingly contradictory ones - are secretly complementary, we stand on the threshold of not only discovering the lost secret of letting go and letting God...but, at the same time, find that we are well on our way to realizing the unconditional holiness of life.

Student Talks: 2/9/2024 - Key Lesson: If you are among the chosen few, the Almighty will prove your pride to be pointless; but, if you're among the truly fortunate ones -- who choose to be chosen -- you will be forever thankful to the Divine for showing you the truth of this unthinkable revelation.

Student Talks: 5/27/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1 – That we should search only our own conscience for confirmation of what is good and true, this is the best definition of integrity. For that which is good and true is not social in nature, but spiritual in need and in deed. Part 2: Here is an enigma wrapped in a paradox: we cannot buy the love of the Divine; no good deed can produce the Presence...

Classroom Talk: 12/9/2020 - Never forget the truth that follows, and freedom is nearer than you think: no real spiritual effort is ever in vain, even when we're given to see -- as result of our inner work -- some low estate into which we've temporarily fallen. In turn, always remember: the great ocean into which the waters of a river...

Classroom Talk: 11/18/2020 - Identifying with resistance to any moment the mind points to as a painful problem of some kind... is the only real problem there is in that moment.
