Classroom Talk: 07/05/2026 - The only way we will ever know that death is an invisible doorway into another level of being  – Higher or lower, depending – is if we do the interior work – here and now – of dying to an unconscious nature whose “will to live” – we’ve mistaken as being the same as our own.

Classroom Talk: 05/03/2026 -Distractions never show themselves as empty sea-shells when the promise of their shape first catches the wandering eye. Perhaps that’s why – as we stoop down, and stop to pocket yet one more weathered prize – we never really notice – let alone step into – the vast sea that has cast them onto shore.

Student Talks: 04/10/2026 - Every movement we make is determined before we are conscious of it; yet, absorbed in the minutia of life, we do not see this. And what is true of our actions is true of our thoughts and emotions as well: we are the manifestation of a Divine, still, and silent Light in timeless motion.

Topics covered:  "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" -- New Testament. There is no peace through thought; The pursuit of peace through thought is actually the prescription for uncertainty; Presently our faith is in the fear that promises freedom whenever what we call our freedom is challenged.

Topics covered:  "My religion is not to deceive myself." -- Milarepa; The greatest deception is not what the world tells us is true, but rather that we are caught up in a great lie; Every reaction implies that there will be a consequence to the moment if it does not unfold the way it wants.

Topics covered: The world that we look for outside of ourselves in order to provide us with meaning cannot provide it. We are looking for meaning in a world where it doesn't exist; What if the shocks that you would normally avoid are actually the doorway to what your heart has been looking for...

Topics covered:  What we see outside of ourselves as separate objects are connected and never not touching one another. Everything that exists affects everything else; All of creation is in constant labor, because there is never not something being born. Spiritually speaking, we don't generally understand the suffering that is inherent in the labor of birth.

Topics covered:  We can clearly see when other people are harming themselves unnecessarily. But what about the harm that we do to ourselves?; All judgment is blind by its nature; We falsely believe that hiding our pain from ourselves is the same as having escaped from its influence.

Topics covered: The mind can only approach the meaning of something through thoughts about it; You cannot separate yourself from life without suffering for that separation. We are punished by a nature that is never satisfied with where it is; When you really know the meaning of something, you don't have to look for it.

Topics covered: We go looking for a way to save ourselves from a nature that creates the very thing that we suffer over; We are intended to live within the immensity of God's life. We are drawn to that immensity because everything else pales in comparison; Something within us is terrified of disappearing, of not being able to find itself in passing time.
