Transformation / Transcending

Classroom Talk: 06/21/2026 - To identify with any experience of life, no matter how whole it makes us feel in that moment must – at some point – reveal that the “experiencer” of that moment is, in fact, apart from it.

Classroom Talk: 03/09/2025 - We can't change others – or, for that matter, the purpose of any given moment as it unfolds – but we can work to place one less demand on both. Only in this action can we hope to find the freedom for which we seek, because the only thing that imprisons us – in the end – is our resistance to whatever runs against our deeply seated demands.

Classroom Talk: 11/17/2024 - Real self-change begins with seeing that Real Life is change itself.

Classroom Talk: 8/25/2024 - We are so occupied trying to fill our lives with what we want that we can't see how all that we need is being given to us freely every moment of the day.

Classroom Talk: 4/4/2021 - 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...

Classroom Talk: 10/11/2020 - Part 1: We cannot live in fear of discovering the truth about ourselves, about our life... and hope to find the truth at the same time. Part 2: Here's an immutable spiritual law: we will never know all it's possible for us to be until we agree to consciously empty ourselves of all that we have been moment-to-momen...

Classroom Talk: 8/28/2020 - Just as the sun consumes her own substance as fuel, transforming matter into life-giving light and heat, so too are we created to consume ourselves; to transform the base aspects of a separate self - the many conflicting characters inherent in our divided consciousness - into a single, higher form of...

Classroom Talk: 7/19/2020 - Once we realize the only thing that makes some painful moment seem impassable is nothing more than our reluctance to assume responsibility for what that same moment has come to teach us about ourselves... we are well on our way to realizing a new order of freedom wherein all things are possible.
