Classroom Talk: 7/24/2002 - The secret inlet into the realm of what is Timeless and Eternally True is our awareness of the present moment; for our awareness of Now is not an awareness of a given time, but is vested in that higher consciousness through which the things of time move in an out of creation.

Classroom Talk: 11/28/2021 - The inner journey that leads to a life no longer bound by painful unwanted moments -- including their ever-present fears and doubts -- has one prerequisite: along the Way we must agree to walk through any gate above which reads this sign: enter here to meet whatever limits your right to be free.

Classroom Talk: 3/18/2020 - Until we are fully present -- awake and attending to each moment as it enters our consciousness -- we dwell somewhere outside of what is being ceaselessly revealed. This means that to whatever extent we are absent from what is real, neither can our response (to it) be real; and so, it follows...

Classroom Talk: 3/27/2019 - Untouched, uncorrupted by what once was, and yet unfolding from it -- as does a new blossom from its bud -- comes forth the ever-present moment. But (such) newness holds no familiar pleasure for a mind locked in time: where its struggle to be free unfolds in self-spun captivity, an unwitting but...

We can imagine almost anything save this one unimaginable exception: the dark walls that seem to close in on us in the midst of some unwanted moment are, in fact, nothing more than (parts of) a dark dream born of a mind so asleep to itself...

In this short talk Guy explains the importance of keeping the wish to remember ourselves continually before us. When not practicing the presence moment we must work to prepare...

We are meant to serve, moment to moment, the Light and Life that never ceases from introducing us to ourselves; we are not meant to live in servitude to whatever that character may be to which we have just been introduced. ...And why are we thus introduced to ourselves -- through the infinite and ever-changing web of (our) relationships? So that we may know all what we are, and within each...

We are never judged for whatever may be our present degree of spiritual blindness. Only when we turn a blind eye to a truth Life asks us to see about ourselves do we unknowingly judge ourselves...

When we will be present to ourselves, quietly watchful of the relationship that is always unfolding in the Presence moment, then we have no more need to prepare for what life will bring to us than a newly opened rose needs ready itself for the warmth of the sun that comes to release its fragrance.

To grow into a new and higher order of peace we must remember at the first sign of resisting some unwanted moment that we must work to detect and dismiss any tendency we have to identify with that negative reaction...

The "hard" part of this practicing of presence in the now is that our habitual mind, the false self, wants to know itself through one thought or another.

Classroom Talk: 8/5/2020 - The wish and the work to be present -- to live in the Presence moment -- is the upper path. The "steps" alternate between complementary discoveries: first seeing within ourselves where and how we fall spiritually asleep... A discovery that, in turn, becomes both impetus and the power we need to wake up and to walk out of...
