Student Talks: 9/20/2024 - Key Lesson: 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!

Student Talks: 9/13/2024 - Key Lesson: 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.

Student Talks: 7/12/2024 - Key Lesson: Believing that avoiding the experience of an unwanted, or otherwise unknown moment is the same as freedom from the fear of it is like being lost in the African bush, crossing paths with a hungry lion, and hoping that if you just look the other way... it will too!

Student Talks: 3/8/2024 - Key Lesson: Once we understand that all forces - even the seemingly contradictory ones - are secretly complementary, we stand on the threshold of not only discovering the lost secret of letting go and letting God...but, at the same time, find that we are well on our way to realizing the unconditional holiness of life.

Classroom Talk: 12/08/2024 - We are not bound by any unwanted condition, but rather by our failure to realize that we've become unwitting prisoners of our own misplaced attention. Which means that before we can liberate ourselves from this bondage, we must first do the inner work it takes to free our attention from the unconscious nature that misdirects it.

Classroom Talk: 5/22/2024 - It's impossible to let go of any painful moment until we lose interest in the troubled sense of self that we are deriving from it! So that the real secret of letting go begins with seeing how (our own) unconscious nature doesn't just reach to "catch" the experience it says it doesn't want, but then clings to it...

Classroom Talk: 3/27/2024 - New, true self-knowledge re-orders the world we see because, for one thing, the way we experience each moment of life is inseparable from how we understand it; so that just as a fractured mirror can only reflect back an image that seems shattered, so is it true that a divided mind can't see what is holy.

Classroom Talk: 3/17/2024 - Once we learn what it means to see ourselves, to accept every impression as the herald of the new self-knowledge that it brings, then we will not only understand what it means to welcome each such revelation - whether wanted, or not - but to receive, with grace, whatever we are given to see as being true about ourselves.

Classroom Talk: 2/11/2024 - Life is change; it is creation revealing itself. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its Divine design, or we can continue to struggle with unwanted moments in the false belief that the pain of our resistance (to them) proves we know how life is supposed to unfold.

Classroom Talk: 2/21/2024 - Spiritually speaking, we have but one problem: we are unable to see that the source of our conflict with life -- including the suffering it induces -- is inseparable from an unseen false belief, as follows: unless we keep struggling with unwanted moments, we'll never reach, let alone realize a time in our life... when we can finally rest from our struggles!

Student Talks: 5/24/2024 - Key Lesson: There is no distance, no time or space in seeing what is; And what is speaks for itself, which means no thought is required to understand what is being revealed in the space of some troubling time. This clarity is choiceless strength, as well as its right use, all at the same time.

Student Talks: 2/16/2024 - Key Lesson: Life is change; it is creation revealing itself. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its Divine design, or we can continue to struggle with unwanted moments in the false belief that the pain of our resistance (to them) proves we know how life is supposed to unfold.
