Learning to let go of our own constant mental chattering prepares us for the entrance of the Secret Self.

In the same way that we outgrow toys that are no longer of value to us as we mature, so must we learn to outgrow the part of us that finds value in negative states such as anger, fear, and resentment. It begins with seeing that any attachment to a dark state is completely unconscious.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of February 13, 2017. The "power" of evil lies only in the subtlety of how it's able to temporarily incarnate itself, which means any sense of being powerless in its presence is nothing more than our ignorance of how it works its ways within us. Evil, the "devil" that seems to plague us has no form of its own. There's only one way it can manifest itself...

As you start to do interior work you begin to see that a war is being waged within you, one that you have been complicit with even as it rends you. Now a proper battle of self-discovery begins, and while it's very difficult to be in the throes of this new level of combat, you must stay in it long enough to learn what it means to be a witness of the war versus getting caught up in it.

Topics covered: talents, prune, pruning, shocks, taking care of myself and others and the world, do unto others as you would have them do unto you...

Classroom Talk: 6/30/2019 - Part 1: (Your) True Self is a "match made in Heaven," even as (the) false self dwells in a kind of "hell" born of its ceaseless conflict with any moment that fails to match what it imagines it must have... in order to ensure its equally imagined life remains in place. Part 2: When we finally understand that we cannot...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of July 9, 2018. Since you would never agree to let anyone deliberately belittle you -- or to otherwise "label you" in some disparaging way... Then why (do you) accept the presence of some negative character at large within you that can't wait -- at the drop of a hat -- to pin any kind of painful, or shameful name on you.

Sometimes the very best thing we can do for those we love - or, for that matter, anyone we meet - is what we don't do to them!...

When facing the painful revelation of any limitation within you, it takes real courage -- the kind born only of higher self-knowledge -- not to identify with the attending and always immediate negative reaction.

Far better than being someone who is always sorry for what their being has brought to pass in the life of others is to start, instead, the difficult interior work of actually changing our being. . .so that we no longer need to regret the mindless actions committed by a self asleep to itself.

Until you know the truth of yourself, you can't help but live a lie.
