Classroom Talk: 2/12/2023 - The only way we will ever realize that the end of the known -- what we call "death" -- is an invisible doorway into a higher order of consciousness... is by agreeing to do the interior work -- here and now -- of voluntarily dying to a psychological "time body" whose fear-filled identity we have mistaken for being the same as our own.

Classroom Talk: 12/16/2023 - The fear of silent immensity belongs to a lower nature attached to, and dependent on dividing life up into separate experiences in order to generate a familiar, continuing sense of self. Which begs the question: who or what needs to be special when -- in the revelation of any Divine impression -- it's evident that everything is (special) by right of its existence.

Student Talks: 12/1/2023 - Key Lesson: Since it is impossible to be unhappy over what you don't have without first having been subjected to some form of unseen painful comparison, this means the true source of one's unhappiness isn't because of some passing condition, but rather is a creation of an unconscious nature -- punishing itself -- each time it negatively reacts to some imagined happiness lost.

Classroom Talk: 11/29/2023 - Our unconscious resistance to any unwanted moment ensures its continuation, and here's why: there is no lingering resistance that's not a creation of some form of (unseen) identification with the moment being resisted. To this understanding, add the following insight by whose light we are helped set free: identification is fixation, which means the more we struggle to escape any unwanted moment...

Student Talks: 11/10/2023 - Key Lesson: Our highest possibility for spiritual growth can't be separated from our daily work to question, explore, and illuminate any dark thoughts and feelings that may confront us along the Way. A fearless life awaits anyone who will cast-off from the "shores of the known," and who will remain set on that celestial course called "self-knowledge."

Classroom Talk: 8/6/2023 - Part 1: There is no relief from the conflict and grief born of unrealized self-ignorance, which is why it's wise to seek self-knowledge. Part 2: The hardest thing in the world is to quietly do what life asks of you; but, if you attend to this first, Divine desire, all else is added... and you "shall not want."

Classroom Talk: 4/26/2023 - Praying to change the world around us is pointless until we see that the world around us is the way it is because we are the way we are; only in the realization of this truth -- and in our agreement to make the sacrifices inherent in its revelation -- is there hope for the world, and for us, as well.

Classroom Talk: 3/24/2023 - Part 1: Faith is a bridge between levels of self; it is an invisible, but real connection between who we have been, and the invitation to realize all that we are created to be. Part 2: Our level of understanding is no better or worse to us than is our ability to attend to what we know is Right, True, and Good.

Student Talks: 9/1/2023 - Key Lesson: No one is obligated to "love thy neighbor as thyself," let alone to seek and find one's place in the Great Circle of Life; yet, "it is written" in the stars themselves: all must eventually pay for what they have done against themselves, or others. For Justice through balance is Divine Law, enforced by its tireless, unfailing love...

Student Talks: 8/11/2023 - Key Lesson: Part 1: There is no relief from the conflict and grief born of unrealized self-ignorance, which is why it's wise to seek self-knowledge. Part 2: The hardest thing in the world is to quietly do what life asks of you; but, if you attend to this first, Divine desire, all else is added... and you "shall not want."

Student Talks: 6/9/2023 - Key Lesson: Part 1: We cannot know the depth and breadth of our highest, heavenly possibilities as long as we fear to explore, realize, and release all that keeps us bound to this earth. Part 2: Our unconscious conditioning goes before us every moment, acting as the unseen judge, jury, and "executioner" of each, and every moment of our life.

Student Talks: 2/24/2023 - Key Lesson: My most contented hours are those filled with emptiness; and I regret -- as comes their appointed time -- having to fill these precious moments with what is little more than the mandatory, but mostly empty business of this world: attending to all of the virtually endless forms that are, at best, shadows of the real... at worst, vanities.
