Classroom Talk: 11/25/2001 - All who are asleep to themselves live in the same world of worry and woe, fear and frustration, regardless if they dwell in rambling shacks or richly appointed castles. The only difference between spiritually sleeping people is the temporary nature of the dream they dream from which they have no choice but to be painfully awakened.

As I get older, I find it harder to take full pleasure in life's joyful, renewing experiences. There always seems to be a sense of emptiness that soon follows. Is there such a thing on this earth as real, lasting renewal? I have been able to put aside my habitual self-involvement more and more frequently, yet I'm actually beginning to worry about what life will be like without my mind's usual...

I have had bad allergy problems over a period of years in response to certain chemicals in foods and in the environment. Reactions are triggered in distressingly familiar patterns when, for example, I am exposed to chemical sprays. This has caused me no end of worry and fear. Over the years I've used the "love the opposite" approach in an attempt to cancel the fear of exposure, and have even t...

Don't wish for freedom; choose it. Start by challenging the false notion that negativities are true powers. Deliberately walk past any dark state whose painful presence -- left uncontested -- makes you a prisoner of its domain.

Topics Covered: It is destructive to hate another human being. It is destructive to be afraid. It is destructive to rush, to be anxious, to worry; The unconscious mind is forever bringing up something that it can identify with; The realization of a new possibility is the same as becoming aware of an old limitation; What determines our possibilities in any given moment is what...

Classroom Talk: 10/6/2004 - Not wanting events to unfold as they do often feels like a measure of control over unwanted moments, but any negative reaction to reality is only an unseen form of self-punishment and not the rescuing power we mistake it to be. The only thing our resistance to life adds to us is the weight of a self-induced suffering born of a needless worry. 

Self-limiting thoughts or feelings have power over us only when we are tricked into believing that we need something we don't.

Life will show itself to you, and as it does you'll know just what to do and who to be. There is never any good reason to worry about anything.
