Whenever we will do the best we can -- give the very most that we have to give -- even though our action may be very far from "perfect" -- nevertheless, that action is our part of entering into a celestial perfection to be realized in no other way. It is only by consciously enduring our own imperfections that we are given eyes to see that, all along, Love itself has been our guide and master.
Student Talks: 3/1/2024 - Key Lesson: Just as the eyes that see the sun cannot understand its light by which they behold the shape and beauty of all things, neither can the heart understand the love that calls it to know and encompass all things. Eye and heart are creatures in time, but Light and Love are not. Even so, all meet; and to be a silent witness to their inexpressible union... is to realize the pathless journey to the indwelling Divine.
Student Talks: 2/10/2023 - Key Lesson: Here's an inconvenient truth: being "sorry" changes little, to nothing; only (spiritual) sorrow can help lead us to the liberation of transcending the unrepentant self.
Student Talks: 1/27/2023 - Key Lesson: As long we find value in being identified with anything, we remain the captive of an unconscious nature that not only never stops longing for what it imagines will make it secure, but that also consents to suffer over its inability to satisfy its own insatiable desire.
Student Talks: 12/18/2020 - Key Lesson: Part 1: The Divine journey begins with our gradual awakening to the timeless depth and breadth of our own sleeping consciousness. All that we are, and hope to be already resides therein... waiting to reveal its Light to whoever will dare make the leap into the seeming darkness...
Student Talks: 5/14/2021 - Key Lesson: Admitting to ourselves we are powerless to make permanent changes in ourselves is the true beginning of rising above all that troubles us about ourselves; for any and all such unadorned confession is the invisible entrance into another, higher order of being that is transcendence itself.
Student Talks: 3/21/2025 - It may be said that one finds freedom from suffering over oneself in direct proportion to one's realization that there is no separate self whose suffering is to be resisted.
Student Talks: 1/31/2025 - The path to self-perfection weaves its secret way through the land of imperfection, where only the conscious awareness of what we are shows us not just who and what we have been, but all that we are made to be...as we agree to be perfected right where we stand.
Student Talks: 10/21/2022 - Key Lesson: We are never judged for whatever may be our present degree of spiritual blindness. Only when we turn a blind eye to a truth Life asks us to see about ourselves do we unknowingly judge ourselves, and where the suffering that follows is the result of having looked away.
Student Talks: 3/26/2021 - Key Lesson: We have no greater Friend in life than that small part of us that loves what is True. The more we are able to recognize and honor the fact of this matter, the more powerfully does this interior Friend step forward... And prove to us the value of our love for it.
Student Talks: 9/12/2025 - All anxious resistance to what "might be" is the avoidance of what is.
Student Talks: 10/25/2024 - Key Lesson: United we see, and are free; divided we struggle...and fall.
