Guy's Classroom Talks

Classroom Talk: 9/7/2022 - Nothing makes us more common, more like all those we constantly judge, than being identified with a false sense of self that would have us believe that -- by some "act of God" -- we're so much better than all we see.

Classroom Talk: 9/4/2022 - 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.

Classroom Talk: 8/31/2022 - Talking to yourself proves only one thing: you're still unable to tell the difference between good and bad company!

Classroom Talk: 8/28/2022 - 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.

Classroom Talk: 8/24/2022 - We all want to be free of painful dramas in our life, yet refuse to see how we play a lead role in their daily appearance. Catching ourselves in a play of our own making -- hearing ourselves reiterate old lines even we are getting bored with -- sets the stage for closing the curtain on a show where we keep starring in our own suffering.

Classroom Talk: 8/21/2022 - Part 1: 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. Part 2: Wanting to master oneself -- without having obtained (true) knowledge of oneself -- is like hoping to harvest food...

Classroom Talk: 8/17/2022 - Unconscious identification with any pain from the past -- especially as it involves, or otherwise lends support to some negative perception of oneself -- is a slow-acting poison that, once ingested, soon darkens the soul and leads to its destruction.

Classroom Talk: 8/14/2022 - 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.

Classroom Talk: 8/10/2022 - For those who love truth no door is locked, no secret is kept; all that is needed to be free is given... freely; and Life asks but one thing of us in exchange for this Gift: the willingness to unwrap ourselves.

Classroom Talk: 8/7/2022 - 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.

Classroom Talk: 8/3/2022 - Our need to change, to be made new, is constant; however, so is our resistance to change. The former is inseparable from the freedom it heralds, while the latter ensures the continuation of patterns that imprison the soul. Choose the latter, and living becomes dying, but choose the former and see how dying leads to Life.

Classroom Talk: 7/31/2022 - 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.
