Question: How can I help in the plight of black people? It appears to me that police have a state-sanctioned pass to kill them. I have listened to your podcasts for two years and have transformed my life. I love your message of living a fearless life, including: "If you give up before you light up, you've lost everything." I can intuit there is a solution because here I am, but I cannot visualize it.

Classroom Talk: 5/31/2023 - Part1: The fear of pain, the pain of fear: See how they feed one another... And (your) liberation draws near. Part 2: Just as the threshold of a house is recognized as the entrance into it, so should our pain be seen, and understood, in a similar light... for its appearance tells the same story, only in spiritual terms: not only (is it) a doorway into an increasingly fearless...

There are unique challenges for the human being who wants to have a relationship with the source of his or her being. We try to control events outside of us in a futile attempt to find a fearless life, when our energy would be better spent attending to our inner lives. Yet at the same time we are in a body and we do need to take care of our basic householder responsibilities...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of November 10, 2014. Our love for what is Right, Bright, and True is constantly being tested... Not only by that timeless spiritual Light that calls us to take its side, but also by the nature of that darkness created in its absence... through which we must walk in order to realize our intention to be whole, fearless, and free.

God has your back as long as you face in the Light direction.

Topics covered: What does it mean to live in wholeness; Resistance strengthens the part of us that resists; Life is meant to reveal a series of self-discoveries; A fearless life is understanding that all things good happen to those for whom the good is all things; Love thine enemies because they show you what you are asleep to in your own nature; Learning to say 'you go one without me' to nega...

Topics explored in this dialogue: When we run into life, it's because we're not actually alive and present to ourselves; The true nature of a fearless life has nothing to do with anything that we can win in this world; All of our relationships exist to teach us deeper lessons about who and what we really are; We are created to neverendingly outgrow who we are; Anything that defines us confines us.


The fear of pain, the pain of fear: 
See how they feed one another... And (your) liberation draws near.

Remastered Classic Talk: 02/21/2016 - The vast majority of humanity views the idea of spiritual rebirth as some sort of prize to be claimed and declared: a new and exciting personal possession, like having won a tropical island in a high-stakes lottery. But true rebirth is nothing of the kind; (it is) a distinct awareness within oneself of a timeless and intelligent awareness -- a fearless and abiding patience, burgeoning with expectation -- that is "in the world (of passing time), but not of it."

There can be no "life after death" without realizing an order of Love that has no fear of dying...

The chief cause of any psychological fear is a false belief that life can throw something at us greater than our ability to outgrow both that unwanted moment... and the lower level of self that fears it. We are betrayed by this belief only because we have yet to awaken to this Truth that sets us free: Within each of us lives -- no matter what our culture, tradition, or religious background -...
