Classroom Talk: 8/16/2023 - One of the ways the unconscious, divided mind hides the pain inherent in its conflicted nature -- not to mention its inability to bring an end to its suffering -- is by repeatedly condemning itself for doing, repeatedly, the very thing it keeps telling itself it doesn't want to do again.

Classroom Talk: 7/30/2023 - Part 1: Faith flowers into Love; Love is the fulfillment of faith. Part 2: To live with the perpetual fear you may "do the wrong thing"... is to be doing the wrong thing that you fear.
