Classroom Talk: 3/25/2022 - Spiritual liberation is not an attainment; real freedom is not an achievement, let alone the by-product of belief. (It is) a grace-granted realization that we are not who we've mistaken ourselves to be: the limited experience of a temporal body that's been given a temporary place in this world of passing time.

Classroom Talk: 3/23/2022 - The spiritual body that alone can transform the pressure of unconscious opposing forces -- that learns to use them for the continued realization of its own innate perfection -- is further developed each time we struggle, as needed, to remember that nothing in this world (or the next) has the right to turn our own attention against us.

Attention touches whatever level of being into which it reaches. Sustained attention connects these levels and, if maintained, allows for an exchange of energy between them...

Classroom Talk: 3/6/2022 - Coming to realize any limitation in our consciousness is not the denial of our passage into and through whatever may be the next stage of our inner development; all such revelations along the Way are, in fact, the threshold of an invisible door that -- if we will but dare to stand there -- knocking on it -- never fails to open, revealing a secret entrance into...

Before the Light of the Divine can begin teaching us, revealing within us the healing facts needed to be set free, there’s one thing we must see as true... beyond the shadow of any doubt: fear can't learn.

Classroom Talk: 2/6/2022 - The more we realize our higher, true role in life is to act as an agent for atoning the appearance of "what is" with "what has been" -- by agreeing to surrender the parts of us that interfere with this reconciliation -- the more we see the beauty of this sacrifice as inseparable from an ineffable peace that comes with no longer being apart from Real Life.

Classroom Talk: 1/30/2022 - Painful reactions are born of an unseen resistance (to life). This means our suffering isn't created by the situation blamed for it, rather it is the negative effect of identifying with a lower level of consciousness that clings to this painful, mistaken belief: the first thing to do when having to deal with any unwanted moment... is to not want it!

God is my ground that does not shake. God is my heart that does not ache. God is my hope ever awake. God is my trust no fall can break...

When from the lower world into a Higher one we surrender its fruits, with one hand we are the flower, and by our other, its roots...

Classroom Talk: 12/18/2022 - We cannot hope to find true peace without fulfilling the purpose of (our) life, and we can't fulfill that purpose without awakening to the Web of Divine Relationships within which the purpose of (our) being has already been sown. So that anything working to interfere with this realization is, at best, delaying its revelation...

Classroom Talk: 12/11/2022 - Part 1: There is no solving the mystery of ourselves without having first solved the mystery of (our) pain... which is why so few become self realized, let alone set free. Part 2: The higher purpose of suffering is to ground us in the Existence and Presence of an altogether higher order of (our own) being... where neither passing time, nor its pain holds a claim on us.

Classroom Talk: 12/4/2022 - Thought, along with its incessant activity -- that we commonly consider as "knowledge" -- is a kind of dark Lego block; (it is) constantly building, only to be compelled to repair its own flawed creations. But, what is Divine in nature is not a construction of the mind that imagines a kingdom to come; what is Timeless and True lives now, or never. To seek it elsewhere... is a fool's errand.
