This Week's Topic

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/13/17 - The only thing more useless than a negative thought or feeling is the level of self that wants you to believe these dark states serve something useful.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/30/17 - Everyone wants to be illuminated, but few are the True who are willing to enter the flame that consumes all, but that never burns twice.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/16/17 - Unconscious resistance is a mounting suffering born of refusing to see the following: the only way to change what is -- unseen for the most part -- a string of unwanted life experiences... is to die to the level of self that lives to not want what it keeps creating for itself.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/26/15 - The real thing that's unwanted in any moment is not the event we blame for our pain. The actual source of (our) suffering is in having identified with a negative reaction, and then mechanically resisting this unconscious state now rooted in the darkness of our mind. In other words: resistance is the source of (our) pain, and not the event we blame for it. Once we see our complicity in the creation of these troubled thoughts and feelings... it's not that they go away, but rather that in dropping our identification with them, it is we who are now empowered to depart from their dark world.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/12/15 - One is always considering, so deeply steeped in the ceaseless preparations of planning and pursuing some imagined freedom "to come" that he forgets -- and consequently -- forsakes the possibility of realizing that the freedom he seeks has long awaited him... within his (own) Being.

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/26/17 - Without something within you to unconsciously oppose it, a negative state is a wind without a sail that has no choice but to blow itself out, returning into oblivion.

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/29/15 - No one can be made stronger that doesn't first agree to meet one's own weakness. No one can become wiser without first agreeing to meet one's own ignorance. But the fact of a transcending strength and wisdom is only proven in the face of weakness and ignorance; which means running away from any painful limitation is the same as agreeing to live as its prisoner. Never forget this one last fact: left unattended, weakness and ignorance grow stronger by themselves.

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/22/15 - To identify with even the brightest star is to lose sight of the boundless heavens within which it shines... without whose vast tracts of darkness would no celestial light be seen.

Remastered Classic Talk: 7/05/17 - What is the true spiritual journey other than the discovery that who we really are is (a) part of a Consciousness that remains, at least for now, unconscious... not just of itself, but also to the suffering inherent in being apart from the Holiness of life.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/28/17 - 

Part 1: Only complete action on our part has the power to teach us, completely, those lessons that real Life would have us learn.

Part 2: Regardless of circumstance, our first action must be to give our complete attention to all that we are being given to see, and to be... accordingly. This is how we realize the Good: the all-at-once justice and mercy that lay hidden in every moment of time.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/23/17 - 

Part 1: No evil can be done to me save for those moments when -- enmeshed in a forgetfulness not my own -- I can’t remember the Good.

Part 2: The pain of a thousand failed attempts to remember oneself, to put what is true before all else, not only disappears in the flash of each success, but that same light lingers, grows, and eventually comes to outshine the return of any shadow of doubt.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/21/17 - Awakening to one's true Self begins with realizing that within us lives -- eternally, and right along side one another -- an endless need, as well as an endless resource that exists only to answer it!
