Classroom Talk: 11/24/2002 - Here is what the sincere seeker of truth must see if he or she would ever be free: Just as we have the creative power to manifest our desires, to turn thought into matter, so does the reverse hold true in the unseen world within ourselves. Desire also holds the power to transform the self held by that desire into the form of its nature...and no desire can ever be free.
There is a very distinct reason why the work of remembering oneself serves as the very foundation, the heart of spiritual self-liberation. It is very easy for us to forget what it is that we want from life. For instance, one can have an all-consuming desire to acquire some trinket or toy, or even a new relationship that -- "this time" -- will bring an end to one's loneliness. But as we have a...

There's only one way to stop being deceived by the empty promises of others -- including those produced from out of your own desires... And that is to know that nothing promised to you -- or by anyone -- has the power to "add one cubit to your stature."...
The unattended mind, directed only by the unseen desires that drive it in ever-descending circles, is not just lost in the maze of its own false conceptions of life; it is destined to wander, aimlessly, through that lower world until it loses, altogether, the possibility of entering into Real Life.
Topics covered: Part of our interior work is to discover that there is a part of us that does not want the pure water of truth; There is no imagination in the manifestation of any natural desire. On the other hand, all psychological desires are the product of imagination; There would not be a desire to complete ourselves -- through acquiring something outside of ourselves -- without the belief that there is something missing...
Part I: If our desires, answered, lead us to a temporary union whose crown is peace born of stillness in the soul, why not start there? Part II: It is impossible to try to hold one's life together and to know that one is being held in God's hands at the same time.
