Classroom Talk: 3/13/2024 - It's always the right time to discover something new and true about our own nature, even if, in that moment, it feels as if what we've uncovered seems altogether wrong.

Classroom Talk: 1/18/2023 - Until we understand that the revelation of some undesirable quality in our consciousness is not an accusation, but a Divine invitation to realize and transcend that unconscious character... we will continue clinging to the false belief that judging ourselves proves we are superior to what we judge.

Classroom Talk: 10/12/2022 - We are not lifted by spontaneous reactions; rather, we are chained to these momentary feelings by our identification with them. As long as our sense of self is a derivative of any temporary passion -- "high or low" -- our identity is nothing more than a by-product of the same... much in the same way as an ember owes its existence to the flame that gives it birth...

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.

Classroom Talk: 5/12/2019 - The misunderstanding of our relationship with life, awash with the unseen and useless suffering it creates, is the "mind and heart" of the false self, whereas the realization of our relationship to life, including our willingness to fulfill the obligation it calls for... is True Self.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of March 5, 2018. The unconscious "self" that lives in the dark of us has no shape or form of its own... other than the one it creates -- and then identifies with -- as it weighs and measures all that moves in and out of its temporary existence. Its false -- and always alternating sense of superiority and insecurity -- is the unnatural byproduct of an eq...

Classroom Talk: 6/19/2022 - Conscious suffering is the one true path (that leads) to a Life that is consciously selfless.

Classroom Talk: 3/6/2022 - Coming to realize any limitation in our consciousness is not the denial of our passage into and through whatever may be the next stage of our inner development; all such revelations along the Way are, in fact, the threshold of an invisible door that -- if we will but dare to stand there -- knocking on it -- never fails to open, revealing a secret entrance into...

Classroom Talk: 5/9/2021 - Admitting to ourselves we are powerless to make permanent changes in ourselves is the true beginning of rising above all that troubles us about ourselves; for any and all such unadorned confession is the invisible entrance into another, higher order of being that is transcendence itself.

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...
