Student Talks: 5/6/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: Until we can see that unconscious identification sits at the root of all useless suffering nothing real can change for us -- let alone within us -- save for what we're moved to imagine -- and then identify with -- as the next new solution to our pain. Part 2: False 'I' is a disease. Real I is the healing. Awakening is the prescription...

Student Talks: 9/17/2021 - Key Lesson: Part 1: What power has any painful moment over us save for having become unconsciously identified with our own negative reaction to it. Seen properly, this means the event we blame for our suffering is like looking in a mirror... and blaming the reflection for whatever we don't want to see in it! Part 2: Our willingness -- and the inner work it takes...

Student Talks: 05/01/2026 - Just as the light of a candle can’t be moved by the shadows it casts, so is there within us a Light that can reveal and observe a reaction without being identified with it, let alone be moved by its shape or character.

Student Talks: 07/11/2025 - The truth is, it’s not the moment that’s unfolding before your eyes — nor even your experience of it. Rather, it is you — your true Self — unfolding in the ceaseless revelation of a Timeless Life, inseparable from the Divine Light that serves to reveal it.

Student Talks: 07/31/2026 - By grace we may be assured we will get to see – as many times as it takes – any part of ourselves that we don’t want to see.

Student Talks: 10/18/2024 - Key Lesson: The first place to look any time you feel a sudden stab of pain is to see that not only is the sting of this moment a creation of your own hand, but also to see how -- in that very same moment -- you’re being handed the reasons why you have no choice but to struggle with, and suffer over what amounts to a self-inflicted wound.
