Topics covered:  Without knowing it, something in us sets out each day with the secret intention of remaining the same as it was the day before; We say that we want peace and freedom, or a relationship with the Divine, but psychologically speaking, we spend our time defending old beliefs so that what is old and familiar remains in place; You can't transcend the nature that wants to remain as it is unless you first SEE it. You must have an interest in seeing what remains hidden within you.

Topics covered: Spiritual ideas are worse than useless, unless you apply them in the laboratory of your everyday experience. You cannot fail, if you work; The problem with relying on a bucket-list to make you happy is that the bucket has no bottom; What we see now is only what is in the foreground, so that our experience is only what our attention is on in the foreground.

Topics covered: Not one thought you have ever had has brought an end to the compulsion to keep thinking; In the unconditional acceptance of the experience of yourself is everything you need; The mind comes into each moment with a predetermined set of demands, comparing the present moment to what it imagines life should be.

Topics Covered: The level of consciousness that only knows how to think about what is wrong can only describe what is happening. It cannot change what is wrong, it can only add weight to it; Every outwardly-pointing action that we take to resolve what is wrong does nothing to change the consciousness that is responsible for what is wrong; The consciousness that blames the condition...

Topics Covered: Very little is understood about the nature of what is called "enlightenment." It is a level of consciousness in which the person understands, without needing thought, that everything they need is already provided; No person is enlightened.
