Classroom Talk: 11/14/2018 - Here is why rushing from place to place -- from thought to thought -- is the same as going nowhere at all: in one's constant haste to reach the end of some self-spun story -- where he dreams he will, at last, claim the peace he imagines awaits him there -- he runs right by the truth he must see...that is, if he wishes to be set free: there is no story he can tell himself that doesn't develop,...

There's a reason why we all love stories about ancient maps, sunken ships, and buried treasure.

Not everything we serve serves us as we imagine. Only the Divine, the light of Truth, never fails us... never. There's only one reason why we ever find ourselves confused, depressed, angry with s...
Many of us have come to believe that being a good performer in life is somehow the same as fulfilling the purpose of life. Here's the strange logic behind the self-created misery that follows it: For each successful "performance" we pull off around others or within ourselves, it feels as if we've won, for the moment, what we've imagined will make us whole and happy -- but the drawback here...

Classroom Talk: 2/26/2020 - If we would awaken -- if ever we are to realize a (conscious) relationship with the Divine -- then a time must come when we are no longer able to believe in the time of becoming.
What good is it to find a solution, some seeming strength, that doesn't really resolve your problem, but that is just another form of secret self-deception? Outside of its power to help you temporarily feel better about the weakness that just claimed you, what good is the "strength" of being able to endlessly explain yourself to yourself? Of being able to "intelligently" justify some deliberately hurtful act towards another?
