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!

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

We become prisoners because we imagine there is a “someone” inside the pattern who must escape it.

Topics covered: If the Kingdom of Heaven is within, then there is no distance between you and the Kingdom, and it takes no time to get there. Whatever is keeping you from knowing that must be something that sits outside of the Kingdom; It is impossible to resist "what is" without there being within us some unseen presence of a fixed position that is already in place. There cannot be a struggle with "what is" without the presence of something that is fixed.
