Classroom Talk: 4/6/2022 - The ability to explain our fears to ourselves -- all the "valid" reasons we have for feeling anxious about "tomorrow" -- is not wisdom. Wisdom is the Light by which we see the following truth: there is no experience of psychological fear that doesn't begin without first having imagined a threat to some equally imagined sense of security.

Classroom Talk: 3/20/2022 - You will never agree to spend another moment attending to worried thoughts and feelings once you realize that they don't care about you at all!
