Topic: Anchor Yourself in the World Above Anger, Fear, and Worry (Classroom Talk 7/19/23)

Classroom Talk: 1/3/2024 - Higher self-awareness is a sacrificial fire; both a flame and its light, it alone is capable of illuminating, and then consuming the shadows cast forth from the world of dreams within which, alone, they dwell; the light of this awareness is a fire that does not burn.

Student Talks: 8/5/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: It is impossible to be afraid of oneself, and be in command of oneself at the same time. Part 2: Whatever fear seeds in us, it breeds in us.

If we could hear the sun's voice as it heralds dawn, or know the secret meaning of the bird song that greets this first light, then we would hear the same testament that our own heart tells us with each beat: Begin again! What was -- is no more! To know the Truth of this is to be assured that God's Will (Itself) confirms that who we were a moment ago is not who we may be Now... If we will on...

Topics covered: The more we think about the purpose of our life, the more we fear any moment that comes along to show us that our certainty is mistaken and misguided; Why is it that we allow thoughts to lead us around, when we ought to be the conscious decider which thoughts we will or will not entertain?; There is only one way to win real freedom from painful thoughts and feelings...
