Classroom Talk: 8/21/2024 - We end the conflict inherent in reliving any painful memory as we awaken to see that no such time, let alone any tormenting thought associated with it, exists outside of an unseen temptation to identify with - and then relive - the unwanted experience of what we've agreed to remember...again!

Student Talks: 12/06/2024 - The spiritual journey is not a movement through time, as if one travels from "here to there"; rather, it is an indwelling realization of the interaction of celestial forces giving birth to an immaculate conception; and where, for one's awareness of this relationship, one's sense of self ceases to be a mere effect – an unconscious byproduct born of being identified with some passing event – and instead, one begins to realize oneself as a partner in the Divine revelation of Life.

Student Talks: 12/23/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: We cannot hope to find true peace without fulfilling the purpose of (our) life, and we can't fulfill that purpose without awakening to the Web of Divine Relationships within which the purpose of (our) being has already been sown. So that anything working to interfere with this realization is, at best, delaying its revelation...

Topics Covered: Worry is not only a lie, but it also steals our life; Life is always creating and revealing at the same time. The very unfolding of creation causes a revelation in us; they are a singularity; We are always in a new relationship with the moment, but we are not aware of that relationship; Our tendency is feel as if we are under attack when we feel pain in any unwanted moment...

Calling on anxious thoughts to check the rising tide of some fearful feeling is like trying to stop a landslide by throwing rocks at it!

Learning to let the whole world pass us by is the only way to discover that the fear of losing some imagined position in life is as imaginary as that position we fear to lose.

Topics covered:  Nothing that is divided will find wholeness in whatever it looks for to bring an end to its divided state; Hell promises Heaven if we will just do what it says to do in order to escape the conflict. Hell is what the mind makes when it looks for the Heaven it has imagined; You can't love the image that your mind has made of Heaven without fearing and wanting to escape from the Hell that has been imagined.

Topics covered: Though we are not usually aware of it, we live within a field of forces that is perfectly organized; Your hope rests in being the willing recipient of the revelations about yourself that are always being given; We are not here just to serve nature. We are created to serve a greater good; When you are complaining about your life, you are participating in the futile attempt to bring order...

Remastered Classic Talk: 01/20/16 - The psychological weight of any pressing moment is the same as whatever level of importance is assigned to it by an unconscious part of us; this lower level of self looks for any situation where it can add "a cubit to its stature" by first imagining some unmanageable burden into existence so that then... it can feel itself struggling to carry its own impossible load!

Topics covered: Pain is already in us and is just looking for an excuse to remain; The path of least resistance has been worn by years and years of resistance; Resistance hides itself in feigned interest; The first illusion is that your intellect can change you and that there's a "you" with a will; Your mind revisits things to reinforce its own negativity; Learning is in the moment and must be...

How much time and energy and breath would we save if we were aware of the part of us that wants to speak before it starts speaking? Much of the talking that we do is brought about by an unconscious nature that compels us to speak so that it can experience more of itself. By observing ourselves we can catch the anxious part of us that demands we say something in order to relieve the pressure.

Whenever you try to protect yourself from any form of fear, it is only fear that you protect. Only fear can make you into what you don't want to be.
