Student Talks: 07/18/2025 - If we’re still talking to ourselves about some past, painful, unwanted moment—justifying, revisiting, or analyzing it—we can be sure the invisible, Divine purpose of that moment was not fulfilled.

In the same way you know that a dog may bark and nip at you but not harm you, when you hear a voice that says, "you're out of time," or feel a pressure telling you, "you've got to run," one day you'll feel that pressure, that hypertension, that anxiety, and inwardly you will hear another certain kind of voice that basically says, "That's it. No more running for you. No more running for you."
Much in the same way that darkness is the absence of light, meaning that darkness has no existence, let alone authority outside of the light that grants its temporary appearance... so is the following equally true...
A Commentary and Exercise in How to Consciously Be Atoned With Life The suffering we are aware of can't be separated from the awareness of that pain; they appear together. The question is: do we allow this pain, and its attending sense of self, to continue mechanically reconciling our suffering?
