Each moment is unique; never to come again... and this includes all of our relationships as they're revealed through the celestial conditions that converge to create them. This is why our one real wish should be -- as best we're able to remember it -- to never rush through any moment of life; otherwise we lose the always new and higher possibilities inherent in its very appearance.

Classroom Talk: 11/20/2024 - Whenever we kneel to the temptation of some consoling indulgence, or struggle to acquire a power to protect us from a fear...we yield to, and serve the pleasure of a darkened desire that has promised, once again, to save us from (our) pain.

Topics covered:  We always find fault with what captures us instead of finding fault with what got captured. "The fox condemns the trap, not himself." -- William Blake; In the same instant that we identify with what we believe will make us whole, there is fear that we will lose it.

We don't question our suffering; we question what we believe is the source of it.

Remastered Classic Talk: 12/28/16 - In this world we are seized by desires that affirm the illusion of the opposites wherein, from out of their appearance, is born a separate sense of self that feels it must possess what is desired, or "die". In the spiritual world there is a holy desire; but being seized by it leads to the abnegation of identification; because what holiness desires is atonement: the end of the false sense of self created by unconsciously identifying with any opposite.

Heavenly Father, blessed Christ, Divine Mother, Holy Spirit: I come before thee bringing together my heart, mind, and soul in praise of thee, and to pray to thee: Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad: the Lord is our God; the Lord is One. Please help those of us who want to find their way back home to thee. Guide us; protect us from the evil one; lend us thy strength in our battles with the darkness.

We are creatures of the outside. We know as real only the movement from without to within; From hand to mouth, we exist. Yet, Real life is inside...out. The Christ is before the world. His Light precedes the letters that spell His name. His Life is to the thoughts and ideas about Him as is... The fusion of the sun to the light it generates. And when the inner Sun stirs... ...M...
