Life is Real Only When You Are

Talk #1: Being Real Begins With Seeing the Truth of Yourself

• The unseen purpose of each ""moment"" of real life is to create, sustain, and seamlessly reveal a Divine consciousness being expressed and revealed through it.

• Your True Self is never outside any moment in time, any more than it's possible for a branch to appear without the vine from out of which it grows.

Talk #2: The Single Greatest Roadblock to Your Spiritual Awakening

• Each time we agree, knowingly or not, to lie to ourselves about ourselves -- and therefore to others, as well -- there's no escaping the following fact: to lie is the same as denying the Truth that sets us free; which is exactly what our lower nature hopes to achieve in its almost ceaseless effort to deceive us however it can.

• The never-ending journey of trying to set the world straight -- so as to escape feeling ravaged by some bitterness or anger that rages through us -- always starts with the lie that something outside of us is responsible for the flames that burn within us.

Talk #3: Enter the 'Kingdom Within' Through Higher Self-Knowledge

• Unwanted moments in our lives have not come as some blind force set against our best interests, but rather to help us see what's needed to realize them!

• He alone is free who never has an ax to grind with who -- or what -- he is, and who always sees the Good in whatever he's given... in each and every moment of his life.

Talk #4: Fulfill the First Agreement With Life and Freedom Follows

• Until one is able to remember -- and then embody -- the realization that ""I am"" must come before ""I want"" -- then the old fears and tears over one's self must continue taking precedence over the possibility of one's (spiritual) rebirth.

Talk #5: Stop Being a Victim of ""Yesterday's News!"" + Q&A

• Calling on ""what was"" to deal with ""what is""... is like being stranded on a deserted island, without any food, and hoping to make your growing hunger pains go away by reading and re-reading ""Best Places to Dine Around Town""... the one magazine that washed up with you when you staggered onto shore.

Talk #6: Unite Yourself With a Living Light That Nothing Can Defeat

• Each effort we make to walk toward the Light sends a corresponding wave into that darkness within that we thus intend to illuminate, integrate, and put behind (us). Due to our actions, the subsequent stirring of this dark nature serves a double purpose: first, we are brought into a more acute awareness of our actual interior condition; and second, as a result of this revelation we know, with certainty, that our wish to unite ourselves with the Light is not just the right choice... it is our only hope.

• By love we overcome death, for death is an act of love... not the end of it.

Talk #7: Parts 1 & 2: Observations on Meditation and Self-Realization

Talk #8: Open and Read the Book of Life

• Nothing physical has the power to answer your true spiritual needs that are sown into you by heaven; with this evidential fact in mind, then it must also be true that the main purpose of our experience in this world... is to lead us to realize this unthinkable conclusion.
