Classroom Talk: 7/17/2019 May as well try and explain to a door that its total possibility is nothing more than being open or closed - by a force not its own - as hope that a sleeping human being will be interested in seeing the futility of a life consigned to the swing of the opposites.

Classroom Talk: 7/10/2019 Part 1: There is nothing you can possess in this world of passing time that will not eventually prove itself worthless... And yet, as unwanted as this indisputable fact of life may be, that's its value! So then, why wait to see the truth of this when, by embracing it, you might just be set free. Part 2: Powers, possessions, all forms...

Classroom Talk: 7/3/2019 The more we consent to see that whatever we've imagined as needed from this world to make us feel whole, and then sought after in some equally imagined time to come -- is no closer today than in any time before it -- the nearer we are to attaining a holiness realized no other way: by agreeing, consciously...

Meditation Talk: 6/28/2019 We cannot learn the truth of ourselves -- let alone hope to be set free by it -- as long as even one part of us refuses that revelation -- regardless of how impossible it may feel to stand there... in its Light.

Classroom Talk: 6/26/2019 Any sense of discouragement that would drag us down into its dark world -- where it feeds on feelings of hopelessness that it lives to create -- appears only when and as it does for a single reason: to keep us from realizing that there is no such thing as failure for anyone who will consciously walk into...

Classroom Talk: 5/29/2019 Along the upper path that leads Home, there are many phenomenal events that first tempt, and then -- God willing -- liberate the aspirant. The first temptation is the dream of being someone spiritually special: an image whose upkeep is the pain of being in conflict with any experience that denies its existence...

Classroom Talk: 5/22/2019 The sure way to guarantee that your suffering goes on unabated is to keep talking to yourself about it!

Classroom Talk: 5/15/2019 The harsh, or otherwise cruel judgment of yourself feels like it's part of what's necessary to perfect yourself when, in truth, it's actually the mechanical action of an unconscious mind punishing itself for not being as it's imagined it ought to be.

Meditation Talk: 5/3/2019 Since there is no self apart from the relationship in which it appears, this means there is no awakening, no liberation, apart from relationship. This means that any and all forms of "transformation" are not really a change in some separate "self" that seeks its own idea of being free, but rather what is called...

Classroom Talk: 5/1/2019 It may feel as if it's true, but familiarity is not safety... Any more than we might believe that some unfortunate creature -- protected by the cage in which it is confined -- finds comfort in its captivity.

Classroom Talk: 4/24/2019 The more we resist -- and suffer over -- any moment that proves we don't possess the strength we imagine ourselves as having -- the further removed we are from recognizing the real healing lesson these moments bring with them: the realization that the source of this suffering -- over our alleged "weakness"...

Classroom Talk: 4/17/2019 -Resistance can never be escaped; all efforts to flee (from) its eternal touch are an act of unseen "vanity." However, (it) can be used, consciously, as the irreplaceable force it is... to help reveal What Is Real: a Kingdom of Light within whose awareness there is no longer a struggle to be free because...
