Topics covered: Attempting to save yourself is the same as imagining about a better time to come; There is no such self that goes by your name that can do the good, which you then punish yourself for not being able to do; You never sincerely ask the question "Why am I afraid?" Instead, you are given answers as to what the source of the fear is outside of yourself.

Topics covered:  There is an inner alchemical possibility, where what was once useless -- the lead of unconscious reactions -- can be transformed into something useful -- the gold of self-awareness; Life is relationship; self is awareness of that relationship; Everything that is passive naturally resists everything that acts upon it. Active and passive forces are complimentary. In nature a new conception comes out of the intersection of these forces.

Topics covered: Pain always finds the blame. Pain looks for something to blame outside of the consciousness that cannot escape from itself; We are predisposed to blaming the experience for the pain, instead of seeing that the reaction to the experience IS the experience; "I don't deserve this" is the general feeling behind any reaction that blames the experience for the pain that you are in.

Topics covered:  Every day of your life is meant to include a new revelation of something that has always been within you, but that you were not aware of before; If you know so much, then why are you still so afraid?; When we are fighting with a moment, it is another will that has come into our life and acts in our name, but we don't know it.

Topics covered:  We seem to be at peace whenever we are getting what we want, but anything can interrupt that kind of peace; There is never a moment when you are not being given what you need, but you have to want to receive what you are being given; If you are thinking about how to face a moment outside of what is practical, you are lost.

Topics covered:  Spiritually speaking, the very action of looking for something often separates you from what you are looking for; We live in a world that exceeds our understanding of it; If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Can there be a sound without an ear to hear it? And can there be hearing without the awareness of it?

Topics covered:  "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." -- Ecclesiastes, Old Testament; Any sort of development requires a certain amount of voluntary suffering. The path of development requires that you meet limitations; We will go through great pains to make sure that we get what we want.

Topics covered:  What we call our thinking isn't really us doing the thinking at all. Rather, it is a mechanical mind talking to itself about what each moment means; The nature that reacts mechanically has already concluded what the moment means even before the condition that stirs it to the surface. As we are, we are that reactive nature; Any time life runs counter to expectations, there is instantaneous judgment and resistance.

Topics covered:  A profitable human being is one who no longer serves fear; Truth comes to show you that you have not been able to change your life because you have been living an imagined life; "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." -- New Testament -- In a true reflection, there is no division.

Topics covered:  There is something waiting to grow in you that you are responsible for and that requires your attention; There is a difference between a familiar reaction, and our awareness of it; A mirror reflects whatever is before it, no matter what the object is. Neither the mirror nor the object being reflected is aware of each other -- they do not know each other -- but we can be aware of both at the same time.

Topics covered:  For all of the possessions that we have, we do not have peace. You cannot possess real peace, and yet you can never lose it; What deceives you into seeking peace promises peace in a time to come after you have obtained what it has prescribed. We become obsessed with the peace that we imagine is coming; "You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come." -- New Testament

Topics covered:  We are not typically aware of the weight of the physical objects that we pick up, just as we are not aware of the weight of the thoughts that we carry; Lying has become second nature to us. For instance, it is a lie to try to manipulate the way that we are perceived by others; A lie is any attempt to force life to line up how you have imagined it should be.
