Exercise: Let yourself be reorganized. In the moment of any big event, high or low, realize that any sensation of feeling 'good' or 'bad' is actually your identification with something that is passing in time. Work to remember the whole of yourself, which automatically brings you into another order of awareness and attention that instantly removes you from the pain of clinging to your old unde...

A student writes: Dear Sir, Now a days i am trying to watch my thoughts the whole day to have a better understanding of the tricks of my mind. After reading your books, when i start the "watching of thoughts" method, my mind starts interpreting (in the form of conversion) of what you have just said in the book. For example, it says or sometimes shouts-"Be conscious", "Just watch the thought",...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of April 20, 2015. A rose doesn't 'try' to be beautiful; it never struggles to win one's attention, or to prove its value. Any part of you -- pressing within, or upon you to make a favorable impression -- of any kind, for any reason -- is unnatural to your True Self.

Would you shine some light on this subject so I can see it? I was listening to the talk you gave on the truth behind spiritual rebirth and there was a part in the talk where the attention of the talk was briefly pointed to us not being aware of "the authenticity of the kind of suffering that serves the purpose of the creature".

I have struggled to awaken for so many years, but have found your recorded audio and video to be of tremendous help. Of late, I've been following along with your recent exercises on attention. I've noticed what is akin to a healing crisis in my physical body. Some chronic pains have gotten worse and some old pains have returned and gone. I can see all of this as fear trying to hold on. Through...

Guy explains how we can begin developing true fearlessness by refusing to follow the commands of the internal pressure that jumps in and immediately tells us what we must now say or do, given the moment of uncertainty that stands before us.

Student Talks: 4/22/2022 - Key Lesson: There is a very strange feature as concerns most human beings: we would rather feel anxious thinking about unwanted moments over which we have no power, than to practice placing our attention in the fact of that moment... where no thought is needed to build a bridge between ourselves, and a timeless peace whose Presence all of us seek.

Part 2: In remembering the Divine, in that recollection of the truth of ourselves, we bring to the forefront of our heart and mind an all-encompassing Presence that cannot punish itself, or any other; whereas in forgetfulness, we forgo this relationship, and fall under the authority of a dark nature whose intent is to...

Classroom Talk: 8/15/2021 - Part 1: A rose doesn't "try" to be beautiful; it never struggles to win one's attention, or to prove its value.
