Unwanted Moments

It is a big mistake to believe that negative imagination requires we be present to its calculated organization in order to imprison us in what feels like some fearful, or angry sense of self; quite the opposite is true. Truth be known, our most familiar, if not dominant sense of "I" is thus manufactured, and our identification with the works of this dark machinery is the unseen source of most of our fear and sorrow.

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/02/16 - It makes no difference to whom, or at what we point the finger of pain as the figure to blame for our suffering, because until we are aware of our own hand in these same unwanted moments... nothing can change.

Topics covered:  We are always trying to recapture a peace that we think we have lost. But the whole idea of restoring a peace that you have lost is an illusion; The mind that believes it has lost its peace imagines a peaceful time to come, which it never reaches; The negative reaction that other people bring up in you is YOUR limitation, not the limitation of the other person.

It's not the unwanted moment that limits our possibilities, but rather that we meet it from a limited part of us; where, without our knowing it, an unconscious nature has already decided not just the meaning of that event, but what we can -- or cannot -- do about it; where our choices in each moment are predetermined by our conditioned reaction to it.

Topics covered: When captured by a negative state, we cannot see ourselves as we are. In those moments, we can only see through the negative state's eyes; There is something present in any moment of revelation, something that is always there, that is more than who you have been; The source of your pain can never deliver you to the end of that pain in the way that it promises; Most people spend their entire lives looking anxiously around the...

Classroom Talk: 6/19/2024 - To realize that I AM -- and always have been what I was scarcely aware of in days gone by -- is the first faint, but deep stirring of the Truth that set you free.

Hoping that a memory from "days gone-by" can show you the way out of any unwanted moment -- and into a safer time to come -- is like finding yourself lost in a dark canyon, and following the echo of your own plaintive voice -- mistaking it to belong to someone who's come to rescue you.

Student Talks: 1/12/2024 - Key Lesson: Any form of painful demand -- whether on others, or upon ourselves -- is born of unconscious attachment; it is proof of a level of consciousness that would rather cling to what has been, than allow real Life to help us see our True Self is not only the living incarnation of each new moment, but the eyes that see it take birth.

Topics covered: What usually follows a moment of regret is not a change of consciousness, but instead a new set of justifications to explain why we did what we did; We are easily "triggered" because we are loaded with pain, the weight of the past, and we don't know what do to with it; It is impossible to let go with one hand, and hold on with the other. That is not real letting go...
