Classroom Talk: 5/21/2004 - We spend so much of our time thinking and re-thinking about how to succeed with our personal escape plans that -- for these same dreams of a freedom to come -- it never has a chance to dawn on us that our True Nature cannot be made a prisoner of anything!

Topics covered: Waiting on something vs. waiting in presence; The divided mind always waits on something to identify with; The nearest you come to having God's life is when you are the furthest away from thinking you do; Real help isn't finding something that gets me through a problem, it's realizing that I am the problem; 'I never ask where I am on the mountain, I just keep climbing'; Anyone...

The freedom you seek cannot be found by protecting a fear.

Part 1 To find the part of you that can love whatever any moment brings to you, is to realize the part of you that never fears or regrets anything that happens.

There is hidden just behind every bitter disappointment the presence of a sweet light whose power can turn any unwanted event into a new kind of victory yet imagined.
