Classroom Talk: 11/29/2023 - Our unconscious resistance to any unwanted moment ensures its continuation, and here's why: there is no lingering resistance that's not a creation of some form of (unseen) identification with the moment being resisted. To this understanding, add the following insight by whose light we are helped set free: identification is fixation, which means the more we struggle to escape any unwanted moment...

Classroom Talk: 10/18/2023 - Any action we take initiated by resisting some unwanted moment ensures the continuation of an unconscious, deeply conflicted nature so asleep to itself that it can't tell the difference between struggling to escape a prison, and not walking into one in the first place.

Classroom Talk: 8/3/2022 - Our need to change, to be made new, is constant; however, so is our resistance to change. The former is inseparable from the freedom it heralds, while the latter ensures the continuation of patterns that imprison the soul. Choose the latter, and living becomes dying, but choose the former and see how dying leads to Life.

Classroom Talk: 6/29/2022 - The unimaginable reward of discovering the truth about any troubling condition we meet along the path to self-liberation is as follows: not only are we created to outgrow any painful reaction to these unwanted moments, but we are free to do so anytime we choose!

Classroom Talk: 5/4/2022 - There is a proportionate and direct relationship between the degree of an inconsolable pain -- some form of suffering that's pretty much our daily companion -- and our misunderstanding the true purpose of why we have been given a life.

Classroom Talk: 10/6/2021 - The more we dwell on something that we wish wasn't so, the more we soak ourselves in negative energies created by our own resistance. The longer we soak, the more we suffer; the more we suffer, the more we resist what seems to be the unwanted event when, in truth, what we are really drowning in are the dark waves of our own un-investigated consciousness.

Classroom Talk: 9/1/2021 - Learn to be still and listen... the less we talk to ourselves about life's unwanted moments, the more Life will speak to us, telling us things that ears can't hear.

Classroom Talk: 8/18/2021 - Until we learn how to use the moments we don't want... even the moments we do want are useless other than to strengthen the illusion of -- and our identification with -- a false sense of self that believes it will find freedom in a time to come.

Classroom Talk: 2/24/2021 - Unconscious opposition to unwanted moments can never change the condition being opposed because the lower nature responsible for mounting this opposing force not only remains unchanged, but resists all that it does in order to ceaselessly re-create itself... Including the unwanted moments in which...

Classroom Talk: 9/23/2020 - Any "certainty" born of ascribing a negative meaning to an unwanted moment, or that goes on to imagine that moment as a prelude to even more painful times to come, is a false conclusion arrived at by a false self... creating a false sense of captivity.

Classroom Talk: 6/7/2020 - Part 1: Our refusal to consciously meet any form of self-limitation only guarantees that it will be there waiting to greet us again -- and again -- until we discover the real reason behind its self-liberating revelation: we are not what we fear seeing about ourselves, nor are we the fear-filled level of self that would have...
