Classroom Talk: 12/19/2004 - Have you ever turned the corner and seen a beautiful display of life that was for your eyes only? You are held in rap that is a blessing and an invitation.

Victory is assured only to the one who will neither fight nor flee, but who will embrace his foe until there is no one remaining to either win or lose the contested ground.
Classroom Talk: 8/16/2002 - It is never the unwanted condition itself that has us stuck, but that we are unknowingly hung up in habitual thoughts and feelings about our situation.

Classroom Talk: 5/11/2005 - Pleasure always outruns the grasp of the pain that imagines it.
Topics covered: There is an interior sanctuary that awaits human beings if they will only follow the breadcrumbs of truth that lead them there; There is nothing within thought that can satisfy the soul that hungers for what is true.

Part 2: Those who aren't aware...
God's ever-present life pours into the soul willing to let go of what it has been for the sake of His Love.
