Classroom Talk: 8/28/2020 - Just as the sun consumes her own substance as fuel, transforming matter into life-giving light and heat, so too are we created to consume ourselves; to transform the base aspects of a separate self - the many conflicting characters inherent in our divided consciousness - into a single, higher form of...
When you go outside on a beautiful day, do you step into the sunlight and try to enjoy the warmth, or isn't the enjoyment inherent in the experience? Similarly, when you see a falcon fly amongst the trees, land, shake its tail, and then survey its domain... or a great buck with its massive horns, broad chest, and strong neck... do you try to feel the nobility of these creatures? Or isn't that...

The painful experience we have to any unwanted moment is inseparable from being momentarily identified with our own negative reaction to it; which means -- all said and done -- that what we're actually suffering from, and uselessly struggling against in these moments -- is ourselves.
Topics covered: The degree to which you see the truth of yourself is the degree to which you will be a free human being; It is in the revelation of your limitations that you are set free from identification with those limitations; Only human beings, no other creature, can decide for themselves what they give their attention to; It is impossible to see that Life is always changing until we agree to let Life change us as well...
