There is an order, an unshakable peace we can know... but only if and as we agree to its Presence in us. And when we are aligned with its “ place" in Time, everything is done for us, exactly as it should be, in its time...
We cannot hope to find true peace without fulfilling the purpose of (our) life, and we can’t fulfill that purpose without awakening to the Web of Divine Relationships...
Part 1 True silence doesn't have intelligence -- it is intelligence of an order, which a divided mind cannot comprehend. Its peace surpasses all understanding. Part 2 Only your work to patiently stand in the presence of a negative state can render it powerless and prove -- at the same time -- it's a pain pointless.
Part 1 The first step to reclaiming power over our own body is to become consciously passive to its unseen demands even while remaining actively aware of them. Part 2 The struggle to create peace in one's life is a futile attempt to achieve through action what can only be realized in being.
Part I: If our desires, answered, lead us to a temporary union whose crown is peace born of stillness in the soul, why not start there? Part II: It is impossible to try to hold one's life together and to know that one is being held in God's hands at the same time.

Classroom Talk: 12/14/2025 - You can't escape any unwanted experience of yourself because that is the experience you don’t want! The Good news is this experience of yourself is not your true Self…but, for now, it is largely the only (sense of) self you’re given to know.

Classroom Talk: 10/27/2024 - Our first action - regardless of circumstance - must be to give our complete attention to all we are being given to see, and to be...accordingly. In this way, we not only come to discover there's a Divine order at work in our life but - even as we learn how to comply with it - we realize ourselves as part of its fearless perfection.
Here is why it's impossible to run after, let alone come to possess real peace of mind: the same moment we set out to do so... we disturb it.
If seeking -- even realizing -- the consolation of some comfort had the power to placate our appetite for pleasure, or if running from a fear was the way to throw off and escape its power over us... then surely, we would have realized this kind of peace a long, long time ago.
Dreams of greatness are formed by life undigested, The fleeting stuff of souls untested... Who'd sooner sleep in a fitful peace Than leap into Life's cleansing fires. For there already dwells Greatness uncontested, A Gift beyond time, a Title vested... In the waking hearts of warrior souls Enflamed alone by what God inspires.
