Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of March 23, 2015. There is only one real way to share the life of the Immortal Self that lives within us, and within whom we live: we must shoulder our share of creation by consciously suffering the throes of its ceaseless birth and death. And how is this done? By agreeing to embrace its seemingly opposing parts until they reveal the secret holiness fro...

Life is change; it is creation revealing itself. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its Divine design, or...

Remastered Classic Talk: 5/17/17 - 

Part 1: We are told that life is everlasting -- but see that nothing lasts! We are taught there is no death, and yet we see it everywhere around us! We dwell in the middle of an immense contradiction wherein one part of us feels the possibility of a life eternal, but that sees, and fears -- in the same moment -- only the inevitability of the opposite.

Part 2: The Great and Timeless Teaching -- that which can't be taught -- can only be learned through humility.

Life gives. Life asks. And when, at last, we are willing to surrender whatever Life may ask of us, excluding nothing -- let alone our most familiar sense of self -- then, for having died to the fear of death we are set free.

I know there must be a relationship between good physical health and true spiritual principles, but what part does Truth play when it comes to our healing? When I am in physical pain and not in control of what my body is doing, is there a tip you can give me for easing the seemingly inevitable anxiety? I am always so impressed with people who are able to overcome their physical impairments wit...

Classroom Talk: 7/28/2019 - One of the great, unseen contradictions in our life is that we can so easily "talk ourselves" into acting against our own best interests. If anything deserves our dedicated spiritual study then, surely, it must be how we can be deceived into jumping into a pit that we dug for ourselves!

Classroom Talk: 7/21/2019 - Part 1: Many are those who love, but only because they are loved, and so their love is not true. But those who love, in spite of being spurned... their love alone is true. Part 2: Don't do what hurts another, but not for the sake of being someone who doesn't do what he believes his "goodness" forbids...

Classroom Talk: 10/20/2019 - Part 1: Look behind and beyond all that unfolds in creation, and therein you will see...an eternal Source, the seed of all that flowers in passing time. Look behind and beyond yourself, and therein you will see...a Divine Light whose timeless Life is the source and seed of your soul. Part 2: I am in you, you are in me...

It may be said that one finds freedom from suffering over oneself in direct proportion to one's realization that there is no separate self whose suffering is to be resisted...

My father has had cancer for about two years. Neither of us talk about dying. When a nurse asked him about dying, he said he was afraid he wouldn't go to heaven. I would like to help in some way, but I'm also afraid to talk to him about it and I don't really know what I would say. After the death of my father, we began the arduous task of moving my mother to an assisted living facility. This...
