Within each of us, in our hearts and in our minds, there lives a special kind of light. In truth, it is everywhere.

Any time we find ourselves sinking into some dark mood, getting more and more disturbed over some past unwanted moment, the first thing we need to see is the truth of the following: The reason we can't drop what's dragging us down is because we're connected -- in that same moment -- to a lower level of consciousness that likes to show us and give us good reasons to feel bad...

In all the worlds above and below there is but One Balance. This perfect equipoise is not God Himself, but the expression of His Life in the uncreated form of three forces unified. Balance is that indefinable third force where what pushes and what pulls are neither one nor the other, but a force transformed into a wholly new potential. This fully alive, ever active Supreme Stasis is the hidd...

Without effort to become, there can be no barrier. Without a barrier, there is nothing to overcome. Without that which must be overcome, there is no fear. Without the fear of loss, there is nothing to be gained. With nothing to be gained, there is nothing to be learned. Without that which must be learned, there is no ignorance. Without having to end ignorance, no effort is required. Wit...

Classroom Talk: 8/25/2002 - What possible Good is there in seeking Love or Peace in a time or place to come when everything along the way that thwarts your dream causes some kind of resentment or is seen as yet another disturbance to avoid!

Here are a few such facts: Peace is the natural radiation of a living Now; it is one with that Light whose life is the eternal present itself, even as the emanations of light and warmth are one with the sun from which they radiate. If our intuition can perceive that the above ideas are based in truth, then we should be naturall...

Classroom Talk: 8/30/2020 - Part1: There can be no silence, no real peace in our heart and mind without full acceptance of each moment... And there could be no such acceptance of the moment without accepting what the moment reveals to us - about us - in that same moment. Part 2 - Self-acceptance is self-realization; self-realization is self-acceptance.

Classroom Talk: 4/10/2022 - Part 1: The Unknowable Source of Peace in real life far exceeds our reach... because it can't be grasped, let alone taken by hand; it can only be received by a heart that has willingly emptied itself of hope in all things seen. Part 2: To see that our happiness is as the sand in an hourglass that never stops turning itself over sets the stage for realizing...

Classroom Talk: 3/16/2022 - The sense of any disturbance within us is the awareness of being touched by Life. The part of us that resists this unwanted sense of being "upset" by life is, in fact, powerless to restore the equilibrium it feels has been lost. In truth, all forms of painful resistance are the negative effect of an unconscious nature at war with life itself... as it blames life for disturbing its imagined peace.

Never speak out of anger, Never act out of fear, Never choose from impatience, But wait... and peace will appear.
