Part 1 It is impossible for one to awaken -- to realize a new mind and a new heart that carries no residue of resentment, let alone the image of some enemy -- until one sees the absolute uselessness of complaining about anything, to anyone... Including to ourselves about our "self." Part 2 Here's the real reason a "coward dies a thousand deaths." By law, any fear we refuse to fac...

Student Talks: 10/29/2021 - Key Lesson: Just as a river is refreshed -- each moment -- by the small creeks and streams that pour their waters into it, so are we meant to be renewed by the passage of Real Life as it pours into us, revealing all that it does... within us. Of course, this ever-green relationship assumes one thing: that we remain open enough -- each moment...

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/08/17 - 

Part 1: Humility comes only with our capacity to feel our own nothingness and, at the same time, to feel all that we are given to be.

Part 2: It's impossible to feel real life and to fear it at the same time.

Part 1 It's said that 2 things are certain in life: death and taxes; while this old saw may be true, it shines no light whatsoever on the deeper truth that hides within it, as follows: in this world of passing time -- whatever it makes, or that is made out of it -- will be undone. Part 2 The only thing that awaits the one who sleeps through this life is the dream he dreams to com...

Student Talks: 10/24/2025 - Calling on anxious thoughts to check the rising tide of some fearful feeling is like trying to stop a landslide by throwing rocks at it! 

 

The only way we will ever know that death is an invisible doorway into another level of being -- Higher or lower, depending -- is if we do the interior work -- here and now -- of dying to an unconscious nature whose "will to live" we've mistaken as being the same as our own.

Student Talks: 8/15/2025 - No condition that our unconscious nature imagines into existence can change, let alone liberate that level of self that, out of fear, finds itself compelled to imagine it…in order to feel secure!

 

Nothing is created that isn't preceded by an act of love, which means that our experience of life -- our manifestation of it -- for either its grace and beauty, or its broken-heartedness, is the inescapable expression of what we actually love.

Topics covered: Each level of existence is subject to the laws that create it; What you think you are is not who and what you truly are; Just as opposites attract, similarities repulse one another; The laws of this world govern the creation of opposites; When you truly learn the lesson, you become what you learn; All that is in your power to do is to awaken the need to no longer be under the l...

If all of creation didn't share something in common, something invisible... yet in some ways more real than the objects that reveal and manifest that relationship... then how could the death of a tree bring life to the forest...

Until we awaken enough to see that within us lives the same nature as our "enemy" of the moment, we will never know the freedom or the forgiveness found in this great liberating truth: no enemy exists for us until the judge within us makes one so.

Topics covered: The answers to your questions are less important than being aware of yourself as you ask them; Nothing can be understood outside of the perpetuity of the moment; You can't transform yourself, you can only invite transformation; You can't enter into higher understanding until it shows you that you were apart from it; Silence is not the absence of things; Resistance is innate to...
