Understanding

If we wish to find peace we must understand something of its life. Here are a few such facts: Peace is the natural radiation of a living Now; it is one with that Light whose life is the eternal present itself, even as the emanations of light and warmth are one with the sun from which they radiate. If our intuition can perceive that the above ideas are based in truth, then we should be naturall...

We who aspire to a life of Truth . . . in order to unite ourselves within the guiding Light of its silent providence, and to secure the blessings of a freedom that only its presence can provide, hereby establish within and amongst ourselves, for all of posterity, these Articles of Higher Consciousness as set forth in this Bill of Lights. Article I You have the Light to detect, dismiss,...

Key Lesson: 
We know, but don't understand. 
We will, but yet we can't.
 We try, but miss the mark. How do we know these things are true?
 The evidence is right before our eyes
, Yet still... we don't see.


Student Talks: 05/01/2026 - Just as the light of a candle can’t be moved by the shadows it casts, so is there within us a Light that can reveal and observe a reaction without being identified with it, let alone be moved by its shape or character.

Student Talks: 02/06/2026 - Giving yourself empty things to do can't fill the emptiness you feel inside, so…risk leaving that space empty; allow it to be filled with something you can't give yourself: freedom from the fear of feeling empty.

Student Talks: 01/16/2026 - Given time, whatever degree of dependency we help to create in others will eventually prove itself a prison of our own making... For there is no form of psychological dependency that doesn't make a captive of whoever may be involved in that relationship... including the one who unknowingly initiated it.

Our new and highest possibilities can only be found at a point in time when, and where our efforts to transcend our present set of possibilities have been expired. Here’s why: It’s what we do when we come to the end of all that we know how to do that determines whether or not we realize a new order of understanding that waits for us just on the other side of the known.

Student Talks: 10/6/2023 - Key Lesson: The real reason life feels like it's so full of hard choices that we have to make is because, in our spiritual sleep -- and in the dreams we dream therein -- we stand between a self-created "rock and a hard place": a perpetual captive of the unconscious conflict born of struggling -- in vain -- to protect what we first imagined we must have to be free... from its unseen opposite: an equally imagined fear... that we might lose it.

Student Talks: 11/11/2022 - Key Lesson: Real Life is a miracle unfolding in slow motion. The eyes that can see this truth are those no longer blinded by the nature of thought whose sleight-of-hand creates and sustains the illusion of passing time; to see things as they are is to be what we are: travelers through a time and realm whose peace passes all understanding.

Student Talks: 9/25/2020 - Key Lesson: True spiritual healing is never the result of an "achievement" one celebrates as such; it's always a very personal, and often painful moment of consciously realizing the extent of one's weakness. Yet, paradoxically, in the ensuing humility is a victory, but not our own; for now...

Student Talks: 2/8/2019 - Key Lesson: The degree to which we judge others, and would make them pay for their shortcomings is inseparable from the false belief that our nature is somehow different, superior to those as seen through the eyes of (our) disdain. In truth -- save for the rarest action of a pre-paid grace...
