Classroom Talk: 4/14/2019 - Trying to change our exterior relationship to life without having first allowed it to reveal what needs to be changed within us... is like trying to change our reflection in a mirror because we see something in it we don't like.

Student Talks: 4/19/2019 - Key Lesson: Trying to assign blame to the stress between you and the one with whom you are in a struggle... is like trying to judge which side of the rope in a tug-of-war is to be blamed for the tension (in it).

Classroom Talk: 4/23/2023 - Once we realize that living within the limits of the known is the same as the limitation of our spiritual possibilities, there is no recourse other than to depart the safety of all that we have been... in favor of discovering all that we're created to be.

Classroom Talk: 4/12/2023 - A great spiritual mystery: self-liberation is either found within what we're given to see, or not at all; the only thing we escape when running from any unwanted realization is the possibility of discovering its Divine purpose... whose revelation is the same as transforming and transcending it.

Classroom Talk: 4/15/2020 - The sooner we stop looking for, and finding fault with others, the sooner we will see -- and more urgent will become -- our emerging need to heal ourselves. Where, by the nature of this special work within -- and upon ourselves -- the brighter, gentler will the whole world be.

Classroom Talk: 4/29/2005 - Work to solve the mystery of your self, and realize the healing solution to every suffering one must face in this life.

Classroom Talk: 4/6/2005 - Looking to negative thoughts, or dark emotional states, for the power to help you out of some unwanted moment in life, is like hoping that your own shadow -- cast by the sun setting behind you -- can guide you out of a desert in which you have become lost!

Classroom Talk: 4/6/2005 - Looking to negative thoughts, or dark emotional states, for the power to help you out of some unwanted moment in life, is like hoping that your own shadow -- cast by the sun setting behind you -- can guide you out of a desert in which you have become lost!

Classroom Talk: 4/2/2003 - We cannot stop life from happening, but never recognize this fact, because each time we try (to stop it) all we manage to do is succeed in starting up the machinery of our own misery, and then we mistake this aching for the proof of our power.

Student Talks: 4/24/2020 - Key Lesson: It's NEVER life's lessons themselves that are painful: the real problem, which is the same as the reason why we groan in these moments -- instead of grow from them -- is that there's something in our present level of consciousness that does NOT want that lesson!

Classroom Talk: 4/22/2020 - Truth, like sunlight, radiates out, pouring down ceaselessly from the "emptiness" of The Great Unknown into the fullness of how we experience it... as something temporarily "known." But, don't miss the point: without emptiness, nothing flows. We mustn't allow the fear of empty space to deceive us into...

Student Talks: 4/17/2020 - Key Lesson: Conscious persistence perfects those who will suffer through the work it takes to discover that discouragement is a lie.
