Insight Timer Talks

Key Lesson: Learn to let your love of exploring new and open spaces replace all of the ever-diminishing pleasures... found in all the old familiar places.

Key Lesson: There are as many memory-paved roads promising a new life as there are old thoughts trying once again to escape the consequences of themselves. The tragedy is that every road built by memory eventually circles back to the same familiar destination, because the traveler has never changed.

Key Lesson: In REAL life there are no "tracks" to follow, but thought runs along the tracks of memory, and memory always departs from and returns to the same old railway station: the PAST. This explains why it seems we never arrive at the higher station in life called "True Freedom"... because real freedom is not in time.

Key Lesson: 
We shall find life's unending opening only when -- and as -- we agree to enter into and explore what seems closed, and at an end.

Key Lesson: 
Whatever storms you are given to face on your long journey back home, work to remember this truth... and be assured the day will dawn when you will know the unconditional freedom you seek: Your struggle is with yourself, and yourself only.

Key Lesson: 
We may ask the same question about unwanted moments in life a thousand times and in ten thousand different ways, but until we discover what those moments are here to reveal, we remain without an answer.

Key Lesson: 
The best things in life are not yet to come; they are inherent in the revelation of every moment in life.

Key Lesson: 
We know, but don't understand. 
We will, but yet we can't.
 We try, but miss the mark. How do we know these things are true?
 The evidence is right before our eyes
, Yet still... we don't see.


Key Lesson: What is past is colorless; neither does it have texture, any taste or odor. To lend any one of these qualities to what is no more is to transform what may be useful now into a prison of painfully pre-determined outcomes.

Key Lesson: We can't interfere with the inexplicable flow of God's life, and realize our part in its revelation at the same time; we either learn to move with it, or suffer for being set against it.

Key Lesson: We gaze upon a brightly colored veil -- see it flutter in the breeze of some passing event -- and call it the world.
