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.

Student Talks: 10/7/2022 - Key Lesson: Do what's wise, then what's desired. In the Light of that order is balance maintained, and all things otherwise thought profitable realized, accordingly.

Student Talks: 2/4/2022 - Key Lesson: Painful reactions are born of an unseen resistance (to life). This means our suffering isn't created by the situation blamed for it, rather it is the negative effect of identifying with a lower level of consciousness that clings to this painful, mistaken belief: the first thing to do when having to deal with any unwanted moment... is to not want it!

Student Talks: 9/17/2021 - Key Lesson: Part 1: What power has any painful moment over us save for having become unconsciously identified with our own negative reaction to it. Seen properly, this means the event we blame for our suffering is like looking in a mirror... and blaming the reflection for whatever we don't want to see in it! Part 2: Our willingness -- and the inner work it takes...

Student Talks: 6/4/2021 - Key Lesson: In the end, all forms of psychological suffering can be traced back to a basic single source: the false belief that our unwanted conditions -- whatever they may be -- are greater than our capacity to change our relationship to them.

Student Talks: 4/23/2021 - Key Lesson: Being able to realize, and then release one's resistance to any unwanted moment does more than help to change the "dark tide" of that event; it reveals that within us already dwell the untroubled "waters" of a celestial harbor: the timeless shelter of an eternal Self that becomes the same as our own...

Student Talks: 4/2/2021 - Key Lesson: If it feels like the same unwanted moments keep coming around... think again: reality never repeats itself; creation is always new. To know why life seems to repeat itself -- and painfully so -- we need look no farther than to see how instantly identified we become with our (own) recurring negative reactions.

Student Talks: 3/5/2021 - Key Lesson: The more we don't want to experience some unwanted moment, including the memory of one, the more real and protracted becomes the pain we feel, but not for the reasons we believe make it so. The pain in any negative reaction does not exist apart from the struggle of an unconscious...

Student Talks: 1/15/2021 - Key Lesson: Hoping to end the fear that accompanies us in so many of the unwanted moments in our life without first realizing the unconscious "machinery" that creates it is worse than useless; it's like blaming the path we're on for the pain we feel while walking it... when the truth is there's a stone in our shoe!

Student Talks: 11/13/2020 - Key Lesson: All forms of feeling stuck are the negative byproduct of having become unconsciously “fixated” on some moment in life that we don’t want!

Student Talks: 9/13/2019 - Key Lesson: We learn to "pan" the gold out of unwanted moments by seeing that identifying with any form of troubled, or otherwise fearful thought that has appeared to protect us is, in fact, fool's gold.

Student Talks: 2/15/2019 - Key Lesson: The passage of life’s events, including the innumerable relationships through which they are revealed, can either grind us down, or serve to remove our rough, sharp edges; so that whether we feel punished or are polished by our relationships in life all depends upon how well...
