Classroom Talk: 11/13/2019 All unconscious reactions are useless except to serve the mechanical man who believes the involuntary sensations produced by his own familiar clanging and clanking... somehow prove he is alive, thriving, and most important of all... real.

We naturally want to discover more about ourselves through whatever it is that we attempt to do in life. And in order to do anything to the best of our ability, we must necessarily envision the kind of outcome that we want. But whenever events do not turn out as expected, we usually get angry at ourselves for having missed the mark. Anger is always the negative expression of some form of resis...

Part 1 To know why we feel as we do in any given moment, we need look no farther than what we love, for the mind cannot create anything that drags us down without our willing embrace. Part 2 As goes your attention, so comes your experience.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of May 2, 2016. Allowing your mind to dwell on any unwanted moment -- anticipating that the more thought you give to finding a solution to that pain -- the sooner you'll be set free from it -- is like hoping to escape a prison cell by walking into it and locking the door behind you.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of April 29, 2013. The spiritual journey is not a movement through time, as if one travels from here to there; rather, it is an unfolding realization acting as a catalyst for the transfiguration of oneself... wherein one's identity ceases to be a mere effect -- an unconscious byproduct of passing events -- and becomes, instead, a 'partner in cause' -- a...

Classroom Talk: 11/11/2018 - Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of November 19, 2018. Anyone who rushes through life always finishes last! This is a truth unseen by the masses, but evident to those weary of going nowhere fast. You race as you do to escape the unhappiness you feel being where you are, running toward what you imagine will free you from that dissatisfaction. But such races are always lost before they be...

Nothing is created to "have and to hold," but rather always to be transformed by the Greater Life in which it is held, and that acts upon it... in order to bring about and reveal the infinite possibilities inherent in its continual perfection.

As the chaff is gradually threshed from the wheat... It's not hard to imagine that the wheat may "feel" as if it is losing itself: as if all that it has been -- or known -- is being taken from it. In much the same way, a sincere aspirant (who seeks unconditional Love) may feel as if his life is being stripped away by the light and action of a "Divine Miller"... Who first reveals, and then clea...

We can realize all we are meant to see -- and to be, accordingly -- only as we allow self-awareness to serve its highest purpose in life. Which is to do what? To reveal what is yet realized about (our) consciousness, that it might be reconciled and re-integrated, reborn, as part of a greater whole.
