Remastered Classic Talk: 9/16/15 - The "fall" in the Garden of Eden was not for having received the knowledge of "good and evil," but rather that we -- soul consciousness -- fell into (and under) a level of being within which it was forgotten that -- save for the way thinking makes them appear -- no opposite exists apart from its other.

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/29/17 - The pain of any dark, unwanted moment - of any suffering that makes your life feel pointless - is best reconciled by this revelation, along with its implied action: Yours is the right to exchange any form of feeling powerless for the realization that nothing about it - neither its pain, nor its sense of despair belongs to who you really are.

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/22/17 - There is likely nothing more painfully mistaken -- no greater impediment to the realization of our freedom than the feeling that we are somehow entitled to it; we are entitled to nothing, and yet -- even in this world of spellbound souls who can only dream of being free -- we may have anything for which we're willing to make the appropriate payment.

Before we can experience the truth of a higher state of consciousness, before we can stand on the ground of ourselves that is the secret stuff of Reality, we are asked to quietly be who and what we are in the Now.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/14/17 - Being renewed by Life, and beginning your life all over again are one and the same interior action: it starts with becoming aware of, and then bringing a conscious end to all lingering relationships you may have with old thoughts and feelings that want you to keep seeing your life through their eyes.

In the moment of any impression there is no being for or against that revelation. It is pure. There is nothing outside of that moment...

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/28/17 - 

Part 1: Only complete action on our part has the power to teach us, completely, those lessons that real Life would have us learn.

Part 2: Regardless of circumstance, our first action must be to give our complete attention to all that we are being given to see, and to be... accordingly. This is how we realize the Good: the all-at-once justice and mercy that lay hidden in every moment of time.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/7/17 - There are two good things about a constant, strong wind in one's face: first, how resilient one's legs become, the stamina that's developed by walking directly into a gale force. The other good thing is this: when the winds change direction which, by law, they always do -- so that now the wind is at one's back -- one sprints forward with great ease, but it feels as if one is walking.

We see others tell themselves lies to explain their obvious negative reactions and attending self-destructive choices, almost never missing the chance to sit in silent judgment of them...

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/1/17 - 

Part 1: Between a reaction and our response (to it), we must find the will to repose. Without being able to enter into the timeless space between what stirs us, and what it reveals within us, it's likely that what we see as a wise choice (in that moment) will prove itself an action born of some ignorance yet to be realized.

Part 2: Knowledge doesn't exist without the past, while Wisdom has no past.

What if whatever we see in the world that makes us feel confined or sorrowful, that has us angry, anxious, or rushing around is because of what we are? When we look at the world around us, it's easy to see there is beauty in nature, love among family, compassion in times of disaster; in truth, there are wonderful things all around us. But, when we look at the world that we've made, what do we see there?

There is so much that goes unexplained in human life. And that isn't to say that you and I don't have explanations, but over and over again our explanations prove to be lies. And the way we are able to justify this way of getting around a problem (or a person), and stand momentarily on some ground as if we've conquered the world, is that we believe we have understood the situation and risen above it...
