Student Talks: 8/20/2021 - Key Lesson: Part 1: A rose doesn't "try" to be beautiful; it never struggles to win one's attention, or to prove its value.

Classroom Talk: 5/5/2021 - Peace of mind is not some "place" we can rush to; fulness of heart is not a possession to be claimed.

Classroom Talk: 10/28/2020 - Tension is a part of creation itself; its boundless energy is a feature of every relationship in all worlds.

Classroom Talk: 9/2/2020 - The only true solution to any stress, anxiety, fear or frustration -- that rears its ugly head in unwanted moments -- is to do the (interior) work it takes to outgrow an unconscious, conflicted level of self that sees its pain as proof that it knows... the true nature of peace.

Classroom Talk: 8/26/2020 - One way we can be assured that we're beginning to awaken to Real Life is when we can say the following -- without a trace of doubt -- to any anxious or fearful thought: "I don't need you anymore!" And what a day that is!

Classroom Talk: 3/29/2020 - The soul that best navigates this world is not the one who seems to "arrive" where 'X' marks the spot... but rather the one who departs from all places known: for that soul knows it's created to sail the wide-open seas where there's nothing to be claimed -- or lost -- because all found therein... is free.

Classroom Talk: 12/11/2019 - It's said: Truth sets us free. So, welcome this Truth... and watch how it keeps its promise: The only thing we really fear (in life) is our own weakness... and this is only because we haven't yet realized another Truth: Whatever the weakness we may fear is NOT ours.
