Whatever form your resentments may take, they wreck only you... not the one you resent. So, here's a key thought to help you release this self-wrecking inner state: Holding onto some hurt or hatred -- over what someone may have done to you in the past - makes you that person's slave in the here and now. If you're tired of being a slave to a painful relationship out of your past, this study an...

Topics covered: If you had one minute to express, from your heart, what you've learned from your life, what would you say; without humility a human being can't change; humility is one of the anchors of attention; you can't give yourself humility but you can invite it into your life; blaming anyone or anything outside of you is an act of lunacy by a lunatic who is trying to keep the asylum in p...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of February 3, 2014. Suffering over unwanted moments does not mean the world is against you, or that it has suddenly turned upside down. Your pain appears, as it does, for one reason, and one reason only: it is trying to tell you that your priorities in life are out of order... which means they need a dramatic re-evaluation leading to a new, truer arrang...

When you're negative, you're dead; it may feel like you're alive, but that's only because of how much you don't want to feel the painful presence of (your own) resistance... with which you have become unconsciously identified.

When you think that who you are is connected to something you are not, you are identified with it. To make this clear, think about how you felt the last time you accidentally scuffed your brand-new shoes or tore your brand-new pants. It felt like it was you who got damaged! Remember? That's what it means to be identified with something or someone. It hurts! None of this is too difficult to und...

There is probably no greater treasure than authentic higher self-knowledge but the reason that so few seek it, let alone make the kind of sacrifice needed to succeed in their quest...is because its realization leads one, inexorably, first to the shores...and then to the endless, open waters of uncharted seas.

Topics Covered: The wave is a momentary expression of something much greater; We would not be able to experience movement without the presence of stillness through which it moves; Movement and stillness are not apart from each other, they are a unity; Seeing is coming into a relationship with a being within which everything already awaits; Identification is blindness...

Part 1 If it's a Real Life that you seek, then you must stop thinking about it -- running after what you want from it -- and instead learn what it means to look at your life. Only this action -- of conscious self-observation -- can bring you to what your heart of hearts seeks above all else: the realization of another order of Self -- already present within yourself -- that is greate...

We are created not to know ourselves by what we think about, but to know ourselves within God's ever-present, perfectly changing life. The challenge for us is that we are habituated to thinking about ourselves and deriving a sensation of ourselves based upon the images that we consider. What happens to us when we feel the blows in life? In those moments where Life is actually trying to bring...

Classroom Talk: 12/5/2018 - No (psychological) self exists without memory; no (psychological) memory exists without thought; no thought exists by itself. And yet, nothing is more alone and isolated than is the thinker-... regardless of how many thoughts may emerge to support and sustain the appearance of its temporary identity.
