Student Talks

Student Talks: 9/9/2022 - Key Lesson: The harsh, or otherwise cruel judgment of ourselves feels like it's part of what's necessary to perfect ourselves... when, in truth, it's actually a mechanical movement of an unconscious mind punishing itself for not being as it's imagined it's supposed to be.

Student Talks: 9/2/2022 - Key Lesson: Who is to be counted the most dangerous of all my enemies other than the one I see as being a "friend"... who is not.

Student Talks: 8/26/2022 - Key Lesson: To see all that I am... is to be all that I am; and when, at last, I am willing to see -- and to be all that I am -- there no longer remains any separate, isolated, lingering sense of self struggling to be, or not to be.

Student Talks: 8/19/2022 - Key Lesson: The imagined time of "rest" we seek is, in fact, the same as an invisible burr beneath our saddle, as whatever form of comfort it is that still eludes us doesn't exist without some corresponding sense of discomfort that keeps spurring us on.

Student Talks: 8/12/2022 - Key Lesson: There is only one way to be released from negative reactions, and it begins with honestly considering the truth of the following fact: how ironic is it that we fear losing control of ourselves, or over some moment we fear... when the very attempt to control any relationship is, itself, born of fear.

Student Talks: 8/5/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: It is impossible to be afraid of oneself, and be in command of oneself at the same time. Part 2: Whatever fear seeds in us, it breeds in us.

Student Talks: 7/22/2022 - Key Lesson: Until the lesson in the repetition of any painful experience is realized as inseparable from the level of consciousness responsible for its reincarnation, there can be no lesson learned, let alone any measure of freedom from all such unwanted moments.

Student Talks: 7/15/2022 - Key Lesson: The problems and pains that plague a divided mind disappear in the same moment as they appear in a mind unified with itself.

Student Talks: 7/8/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: Unattended thoughts attract unwanted relationships. Part 2: Identifying with any painful reaction is a form of negative fascination; it is an inverse form of Narcissism where we feel drawn to "stare" at -- to dwell on -- whatever may be that dark thought or feeling we're so sure we don't want to see. Stranger still, the more we resist...

Student Talks: 7/1/2022 - Key Lesson: Part 1: The secret entrance into the unknowable Divine can never be found in this or that thought, but only within a faith-based action that must be trial-tested before it can be counted on as unquestionably True. Part 2: The instant that we stir any element of time -- of thought -- into our experience of the present moment we have sown...
