Classroom Talk: 3/31/2021 - Part 1: All forms of anxious rushing through life are the painful effect of an impossible task: trying, in vain, to complete ourselves... by serving an incomplete, compulsive nature that always has one more task to get through before it can rest in its imagined place of peace. Part 2: There is a momentary peace...

Classroom Talk: 6/28/2020 - Part 1: The futility and inevitable frustration of trying to "fit" the Immeasurable into our present level of consciousness is like spending a day at the sea shore, and then hoping to take the ocean home with us... in our sand pail. Part 2: We live in a world the size of our present understanding...

Part 1 All negative assumptions about our lives are a painful prophecy made up by unconscious parts of us that not only want us to see ourselves as failures but -- once having convinced us of our inevitable demise -- actually cause the unwanted outcome they predict. Part 2 The King's interest is in his people, and not in his people's interests.

Part 1 Life is only a drama for those who play an unconscious role in an imagined story. Part 2 There are no fixed conditions in reality; in truth, all is consciousness that's either free to be its own Light fluidity, or that's made an unwitting captive of the frozen waterfall of forms it creates to try and know itself through.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of December 1, 2014. Part 1: Those who seek the Kingdom of Heaven are always in the right place, at the right time, to see their cup filled, and to drink from it... as freely as they will.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of April 1, 2013. Part 1: Unless we are working to ensure that our actions mirror the words we use -- about how we adore the Divine, and want to live in (its) Presence -- then we adorn ourselves with robes that only look good in the darkened corners of shuttered spaces, but that show themselves as rags only to fall apart the moment they are brought into...

Classroom Talk: 9/1/2019 - Never trust in any negative thought or feeling that would have you believe, "There's no way!" Always remember instead that Real Life is a secret and vital flux of possibilities rising up from the ground of what seems improbable, much as a spring flower manages to bloom in a once frozen field.

Part 1: From inner lies arise all forms of outer lying; to realize this truth is the beginning of the end of all self-created fears. Part 2: Each lie that we tell ourselves -- or that we "share" with others -- is both the seed and the bitter fruit of a fear to come... until the truth be told.

Student Talks: 12/4/2020 - Key Lesson: Part 1: There are as many desire-driven dead-end roads promising to deliver us from our fears as there are fearful thoughts looking for a way to escape the consequences of the unconscious choices they helped to create.

Topic: The Invisible Path That Leads to Being at Peace With Your Pain (1/31/16 Classroom Talk)...

Classroom Talk: 3/1/2020 - Real Life is a miracle revealing itself. The eyes that can see this truth are those no longer blinded by (all) the empty promises inherent in the illusion of passing time; to see things as they are...is to be what you are; to be what you are, without wanting to become anything more or less... is enlightenment.

Classroom Talk: 12/1/2021 - The more we think about what's wrong with life, with others, or about ourselves, the less we see this self-evident, but simple truth that once realized... helps set us free: the more we think about any disappointment, or the prison of some lingering pain we can't seem to escape, the more we are made a captive of those very same thoughts.
