Is the duality of the persona and shadow - and the evolution from the ground and back again - positive as described in your work (and various others) or... basically unwanted and un-needed by the level of pure awareness as described by yet other teachings? It seems to matter only if duality is viewed as purely positive on one side, and negative on the other? Or...is it a mixture of both on eit...

You teach that what troubles us about other people is that we have within us that quality we dislike in them, and that being around them stirs that quality in us. So, if this disturbance is around a person who abuses children, are you saying my resistance to that person is because I am like him or her, and that somewhere in me is the potentiality to be a child molester? Please help me understa...

I have been working with observing myself and have noticed a direct connection between my facial expression and emotional state. The problem is that the negative state that is making the changes in my appearance is so variable because of my thoughts and the need that I have to understand how to awaken my inner soul. Can you give me advise or let me know of any suggestion that you think will he...

If most of our life and reality is based upon our thoughts and beliefs, how do you explain then the so-called "third world poorness?" Do a billion people just think wrong and live for that in poorness and with the wildest sicknesses? I have difficulties with that way of thinking. And also it makes the victims more guilty! As if they just had the wrong thoughts.... Thanks for answering and tak...

Topic: Cultivate Conscious Self-Doubt and Stop Arguing with Life (12/22/21 Classroom Talk)

The less we try to “teach” others about their shortcomings, the more insight we gain into our own.

Classroom Talk: 8/27/2021 - The present moment, what we call "Now" is a Presence; (it is) the revelation of what is being born -- living and dying -- in an eternal act of Creation; and because it is untouchable, incorruptible, it is only "be-able." It can only be entered into and realized as the source of our own Being by attending -- consciously -- to its perpetuity.

Do you have anything that will help eradicate the fear of death? I have experienced this for years and it makes my life miserable. I have tried many therapies over the years (which I have paid a fortune for), all to no avail. Actually I have an obsession with this fear as well as the fear of illness. I think the fear of illness really is that I would get an illness that would be terminal. I be...

Why isn't there actually a "secret" or technique for fearless living?...

All my life I have struggled with not having enough money. I have been playing the lottery and I do not know if it is wise to indulge in such ways. I want to see what has been holding me... I grew up in a very abusive environment with an angry father and a hard working mother who my father always humiliated in front of us. Being African I sometimes feel I have been placed under a black magic c...

I've spent so much time learning, to catch deeply what it means to see the difference between the false self and my real nature... but in spite of all that, I'm unable to stop being dependent. My relationship with my girlfriend is about to end and I suffer with that situation. I can see that she has a bad image of me and I do not recognize myself; the way she looks at me is hurtful - almost un...

The person I live with is a leader in the motion picture industry, so I know firsthand how we can get trapped up in all that appears to be gold. I want out! I came into this relationship with hopes of making my own career. I have had some minor success, but nothing to really allow me the independence that I was looking for. I want to move on from this life but feel trapped financially. I must...
