Student Talks: 11/25/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: I am only as free as I am unknown, experiencing unfamiliar moments unfolding in an unknowable world. Part 2: As long as there's a limit to what we're willing to surrender -- to sacrifice of ourselves that we might awaken from the dream we dream -- we've given up little, save for a few precious moments of sleep.

Topics covered: To understand something completely means to realize it with your mind, heart and body; Every true teaching points to the following fact in one way or another: Unless a person gives up his life, he will not find what his heart really wants; "The first shall be last, and the last shall be first."

Topics Covered: False certainty, uncertainty, and real certainty are the inevitable stages that an aspirant must go through on the spiritual path; False certainty leads to misguided actions; We want certainty because our consciousness is uncomfortable with anything that is unfamiliar that does not confirm its perceived status quo; False security can be taken from you at any time...

Classroom Talk: 12/22/2021 - Part 1: No matter what direction you may find yourself turned in at the outset of any given moment, just be sure that before you start walking nothing negative guides your footsteps... or you will never find your way back Home.
