Surrender

The one who looks to me for strength, Is not without my own, The one who calls on me for peace, Finds quietude is sown, The one who reaches for my hand, Will never walk alone, The one who comes to me for love, His heart is made my Home.

And I saw a vision of a gleaming white castle with a narrow footpath leading up to its great white gates. This walkway -- extending out from the gates as far as the eye could see -- was so worn that it appeared to the eye as a kind of cut-mark several feet deep. And when I asked a nearby angel as to the nature of this Bright Place -- and why the path leading up to it was so well-worn, she repl...

When it comes to the possibility of spiritual rebirth, it isn't that God does not will this for all of his earth-clad children. Quite the contrary: In this world of ours the goodness of God's Will is always active through his Son. What nullifies the birth of this eternal Life within us is that we have yet to learn how to ask and receive it. What is freely offered to us goes unaccepted because...

Is not the whole world being reborn every moment?
Why not just step up, and go in…

Student Talks: 10/03/2025 - 

Life gives. 

Life asks.

And when, at last, 

We are willing 

To surrender whatever

Life may ask of us,

Excluding nothing –

Let alone our most

Student Talks: 04/25/2025 - The life and death of the Christ did not happen two-thousand years ago, any more than the rising and setting of the sun belongs to a particular place and time. Seen, or not, the life of Christ is always now…as is His sacrifice for the sake of the continuing perfection of the human Soul.

Student Talks: 1/31/2025 - The path to self-perfection weaves its secret way through the land of imperfection, where only the conscious awareness of what we are shows us not just who and what we have been, but all that we are made to be...as we agree to be perfected right where we stand.

Student Talks: 10/4/2024 - Key Lesson: In this life – regardless of circumstance – there is no greater reward than our God-given right to see what is true, and then to do what is asked of us in the light of that revelation; neither is there any task that comes with so great a personal price.

Student Talks: 4/5/2024 - Key Lesson: The reason why the search for the "Truth" of oneself is called "pathless"... is because it's not taken in steps, let alone in any known direction; rather, the "journey" to authentic self-liberation is found in our endless opportunity to enter into an ever-higher order of self-understanding that -- like the light in which it is revealed - never stops expanding. And... we are invited to travel along.

Student Talks: 4/7/2023 - Key Lesson: There is no reward for love, let alone for being "loving." Either love ITSELF is the reward, or it is not.

Classroom Talk: 12/14/2022 - The immediate recognition, and subsequent negation of any useless thoughts serves, on the spot, to negate the pain born of being identified with their unconscious "thinker."
