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. We can only realize that these Divine gifts – of a quiet mind and overflowing heart – have already been given to us: an interior discovery which may prove to be the most difficult thing we will ever agree to do in this life.

Topic: Transform Painful Anxiety into Perfect Self-Command (3/31/21 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: Understood properly, the momentary awareness of any shortfall in our character is really a Divine intervention; where, by a Light that "dwells in a darkness that knows it not" we are given a glimpse of a truth that cannot be known otherwise. The acceptance of this intervention initiates a holy transformation, and the realization of our liberation...

Topics Covered: The root of the loss of freedom is in the consciousness that arrogantly tries to create freedom according to its idea of what freedom is; We rush through life to get to where and what we already are, which is already whole; Negative reactions are the dark effect of misunderstanding who we are; We're never where we are, doing what we're doing because we are always...

Classroom Talk: 3/31/2021 - Part 1: All forms of anxious rushing through life are the painful effect of an impossible task: trying, in vain, to complete ourselves... by serving an incomplete, compulsive nature that always has one more task to get through before it can rest in its imagined place of peace. Part 2: There is a momentary peace...

Topic: Release Yourself from the Grip of Painful Tension and Realize Perfect Freedom (10/28/20 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: Genuine change is not something that we can imagine. "Our hopes must not be in things seen"; What we imagine will bring an end to our tension is in fact inseparable from the cause of it. The things that we imagine will free us from stress turn out to be prisons; All psychologically rooted tension has its beginning in resistance; The real root of continual, chronic tension...

Classroom Talk: 10/28/2020 - Tension is a part of creation itself; its boundless energy is a feature of every relationship in all worlds. The unknowing masses resist its manifestation, and wear themselves down trying, in vain, to escape it. But the Wise know how to use it... to remain aware of their part in a Divine awakening that is the fulfillment of Life.

Topic: Wake Up and Walk Out of the World of Worry (10/7/20 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: Worry is not only a lie, but it also steals our life; Life is always creating and revealing at the same time. The very unfolding of creation causes a revelation in us; they are a singularity; We are always in a new relationship with the moment, but we are not aware of that relationship; Our tendency is feel as if we are under attack when we feel pain in any unwanted moment...

Classroom Talk: 10/7/2020 - The only thing that worrying does is waste the time and energy we need to shed light on a painful sense of self that exists only for as long as it has something to worry over.

Topics Covered: We have been betrayed by our own ideas about what strength is. Real strength is not full of conflict and is not full of fear; In order for there to be a new strength, there must also be a new understanding of ourselves; No follower is free. Any sense of freedom based on an exterior condition eventually turns into a source of fear and anxiety; There is never anything practical...
