Classroom Talk: 7/17/2024 - There is no Love in thought; no wisdom in knowledge. There is no kindness, let alone compassion in any image; were Michelangelo himself to have painted the likeness of the most tantalizing loaf of bread ever imagined... still, it could do nothing to ease the pain of hunger.

Classroom Talk: 6/9/2024 - Any form of unconscious identification IS limitation; this lower nature lives to judge the limitations of others, so that it never has to see the real source of its suffering...is hidden in just how limited - tiny and tormented - is the world it never stops making from itself.

Classroom Talk: 1/28/2024 - Because we are literally defined by our desires, we are confined to an unseen house of pain that, in turn, has transformed our fertile planet into a prison filled with frustrated inmates... none of whom can figure out why they're unable to escape the consequences of their (own) choices.

Student Talks: 9/6/2024 - Key Lesson: As surely as planting a lemon seed will grow a tree full of lemons, so is the following true: any solution that begins with resisting (the pain of) some unwanted experience will not only prove itself fruitless, but always give birth to more of the same!

Classroom Talk: 9/29/2024 - In this life – regardless of circumstance – there is no greater reward than our God-given right to see what is true, and then to do what is asked of us in the light of that revelation; neither is there any task that comes with so great a personal price.

Classroom Talk: 9/8/2024 - Words are rocks in the stream of consciousness; no name is the experience it seems to define. Experience - like the flow of a river - is a silent, wordless movement. We can either live in, and from the conditioned experience of a word, or in the timeless awareness of experience itself.

Classroom Talk: 8/21/2024 - We end the conflict inherent in reliving any painful memory as we awaken to see that no such time, let alone any tormenting thought associated with it, exists outside of an unseen temptation to identify with - and then relive - the unwanted experience of what we've agreed to remember...again!

Classroom Talk: 6/12/2024 - The mind asleep to itself doesn't realize that it created the problem that it can't stop trying to resolve; and that the more it struggles to try and think through a solution to its self-induced conflict, the greater grows its struggle to escape its unseen, self-induced suffering.

Student Talks: 2/9/2024 - Key Lesson: If you are among the chosen few, the Almighty will prove your pride to be pointless; but, if you're among the truly fortunate ones -- who choose to be chosen -- you will be forever thankful to the Divine for showing you the truth of this unthinkable revelation.

Classroom Talk: 3/24/2024 - We are not being called to be more than we are, let alone to judge ourselves when we see we have missed the mark; rather, we are here to discover ALL that we have been given, and how - if we dare accept this unimaginable gift - we will see it multiplied a hundredfold.

Student Talks: 10/11/2024 - Key Lesson: Here's the truth that helps sets you free, but only as you agree to see its Divine Law at work within you: Real Life never asks for one thing more than what it's already given to you - in that very same moment - to make Good its request.

Classroom Talk: 9/15/2024 - Hanging onto a handful of anxious, worried thoughts to protect you from what they point to as a fearful moment to come, is like wrapping your arms around the anchor of a sinking ship because there's nothing left on deck for you to cling to as it goes down!
