Wants

Topics covered: What this consciousness that we are born into sees, is not the real world; Close encounters of the truthful kind; The pain of any experience is created by coming into that moment already sure of how that moment should go; What IS can only be what is, and we presently live outside of what is; We are intended to exit every moment we enter as a different order of human being.

Topics covered: The root of fear is the mistaken belief that something outside of yourself can make you whole; The fearful self must defend itself against anything that threatens its image; Who you really are has no beginning and no end. But you must stop trying to save yourself in order to really know that; Not wanting a negative state actually nourishes it. Resistance is a form of negative attraction.

Topics covered: Real evolution is the awakening of the soul to its natural relationship to that which created it; We are created to transcend every split second whatever it is that you become aware of that needs to be transcended; The true aspirant has the sense that something is missing, and that the journey back home is inward, the path of negation; Awakening is discovering that here is there.

Topics covered: We can never change our past by thinking about it.

Student Talks: 4/19/2024 - Key Lesson: If -- by the light of remembering and considering what is Timeless, Holy, and True -- the heart is warmed and gradually enflamed, then the following must be true, even if yet to be seen: within us must dwell some sort of celestial kindling; what else can explain how such a flame is created, let alone serve as a light in the darkness of the soul... uniting the twain, making of them as one.

Topics covered: We believe that thought is somehow one and the same as who we are, but that could not be further from the truth; In taking thought, everything about our relationship with the present moment is divided; "We do not have to understand new things, but by dint of patience, effort and method to come to understand with our whole self the truths which are evident." -- Simone Weil
