Student Talks

Student Talks: 10/31/2025 -The Real Gift of Life is the grace to see that each moment -- inseparable from our awareness of it -- is always complete in and of itself. And further, that whenever we act as a silent witness to that revelation -- quietly observing whatever new form of life is conceived within it -- we too are completed and renewed, accordingly.

Student Talks: 10/24/2025 - Calling on anxious thoughts to check the rising tide of some fearful feeling is like trying to stop a landslide by throwing rocks at it! 

Student Talks: 10/17/2025 - There is no painful state of psychological resistance to any given moment that isn’t preceded by some form of unseen demand that we have brought with us into that moment. 

Student Talks: 10/03/2025 - 

Life gives. 

Life asks.

And when, at last, 

We are willing 

To surrender whatever

Life may ask of us,

Excluding nothing –

Let alone our most 

Familiar sense of self –

Then, for having died 

To the fear of death 

We are set free.

Student Talks: 9/26/2025 - We have but a single thing to do to satisfy the Soul and, in turn, fulfill her role in the Greater Plan of Creation. Our one True Task in Life is... to complete the moment as we are given to it. This is the first agreement; and in our obedience (to it) is found not only our freedom... but also the assurance of knowing that whatever sacrifice we must make to that greater end ensures all that follows is always in the best interest of everyone, and everything around us.

Student Talks: 9/19/2025 - We are not only complacent in cultivating the imperfections inherent in our divided nature, but increasingly—individually and culturally—we glorify these very weaknesses that, by grace, are revealed for what they are: stumbling blocks to the soul’s development.

Student Talks: 9/12/2025 - All anxious resistance to what "might be" is the avoidance of what is.

Student Talks: 9/05/2025 - There's no such thing as having a bad day, only our (present) inability to see the Good in it.

Student Talks: 8/29/2025 - Rushing somewhere, through anything, in the hope of finding some imagined peace of mind is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!

Student Talks: 8/22/2025 - The perfection of each and every moment is realized by seeing each and every moment perfectly. 

Student Talks: 8/15/2025 - No condition that our unconscious nature imagines into existence can change, let alone liberate that level of self that, out of fear, finds itself compelled to imagine it…in order to feel secure!

Student Talks: 8/8/2025 - Given the values of the world in which we live today, it's no small wonder that the first of the beatitudes -- "Blessed are the poor in spirit" -- more often than not proves itself a painful paradox regarding the notion of real wealth; for the truth is -- as Christ taught -- that the less we take ourselves to be, the more we're given to discover all that we are, and forever will be.
