Classroom Talk: 6/14/2023 - The higher purpose of suffering is to ground us in the existence and Presence of an altogether higher level of (our own) Being... where neither time, nor the pain it harbors holds a claim on us. Discovering there's a choice like this transforms any moment of feeling lost, confused, or resentful into the possibility of realizing it as the new and higher opportunity it represents.
Self-limiting thoughts or feelings have power over us only when we are tricked into believing that we need something we don't.
I am 26-years old and have not been able to secure a job for almost four years since leaving college. I have been through so many recruitment exercises for diverse organizations, but always end up receiving rejection letters.

Those with whom we assemble we will soon resemble, so the simple old saying goes. Yet it tells of a deep truth. It says that who we are -- the stuff of our soul at present -- is being transformed continuously by the nature of the company we keep; so that, in our essence we are always moving and evolving towards a kind of psychic oneness with whatever relationships we have revolving around us t...
The core of your being -- heart, mind, and body -- holds within it a consciousness capable of realizing a world without limitations; a life unfettered by any fear, empowered by a Living Light, and renewed every day by timeless Love. It is our unique possibility as human beings to know this Gift of gifts, to not only realize the kingdom of this higher consciousness within us, but for our entra...

Classroom Talk: 2/8/2025 - Pretending to be a loving person, while inwardly being resentful, is pain; A nice deep breath will always help you to digest more of the many impressions that are raining down on you; The secret source of our painful, ongoing imperfections is our fear of them; We don't see the judgment in ourselves because we are identified with what we are judging; Creation is an unfinished business...
Student Talks: 5/31/2024 - Key Lesson: Forgiveness is not the blind acceptance of what is dark, sinful, or just plain evil; real forgiveness begins with seeing the need to transcend our own negative reaction to whatever we summarily find as wanting in someone else. After all, whose limitation is it when the best we know how to do (with those who have hurt us) is to hate -- or otherwise resent them...
