Remastered Classic Talk: 11/2/16 - What we see, and take, as being the meaning of any given moment -- including our experience of it -- is a direct reflection of the level of self being revealed by that same moment. This invisible relationship between the observer and the observed is the "mirror of the Divine". And it is only in this relationship -- in this "mirror" -- that we are able to discover not only the meaning of Life, but what is also our original role within it.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/26/16 - What is True is always new, ceaselessly original... and to realize its innocence, to share in its inexhaustible power and spontaneity, we too must be original.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/19/16 - Best keep your eye on the interior life; let it be first and foremost. If the direction of outer life interferes with the awareness of the inner, follow the inner. Better they marry, but never allow what is outer to have precedence over the inner... and should this be so, if you're not yet able to do otherwise, then let this (state) be as a sorrow to you until, from out of it, comes the discipline needed to put first things first.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/12/16 - No unwanted, painful condition in life can be separated from the parts of us that resist its appearance... anymore than what we see in a mirror can exist without what's being reflected within it!

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/05/16 - The spiritual search for the "old nature" set against you... isn't a "snipe hunt." The source of human misery is not a myth; so that if you've yet to see the beast of self-centeredness, if you don't recognize this creature for what it is -- and where -- it lurks within you... then at least learn to look for its tracks. That way, you might one day trace them back to its dark lair, where lie all the bleached bones of your life past. Don't be dismayed by this prescription, rather hear its timeless promise: your wish and willingness to enter into this place marks its death, not yours.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/21/16 - What good is the love of Truth without standing up for the freedom it promises to those whom love it? This means that we must attend to, embrace, and then enact what is Light, Right, and True, even in the midst of all that may seem wrong within or around us. Only by daring to bring this intention into the midst of any such dark moment are we given to see -- first hand -- how His unfailing strength is made perfect in whatever may be our weakness.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/14/16 - Part 1: Real-life is the ceaseless expression of converging celestial forces as altogether they manifest what "cries out" to be harmonized in creation by the (merciful and loving) will of the Creator.
Part 2: Most everything that we think we "see"... isn't as it appears to be; that's why "wait and watch" is the true path that leads to the summit of higher self-knowledge.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/09/15 - We live within a dynamic field of celestial energies whose natural opposition to one another ceaselessly creates what we feel as a "disturbance" within us: moments when primal active forces meet what naturally resists them, giving birth to an order of suffering that's part of the process of creation. It is only in the presence of these higher energies -- at the peak, actually -- that the forces needed for our transfiguration become available; for in our dawning awareness that their supernal struggle is one and the same as our own -- and in our willingness to consciously suffer their Divinely ordained union -- it is no longer "we" who are aware, but rather we are brought into that timeless awareness itself... from out of which these opposing forces have come, and back into which they return.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/02/15 - We are convinced that if there's anything lacking in us, then the answer must be to acquire it, as has always been our go-to solution when suffering over some discontent. But as long as our hope for contentment is remanded over to a search for something outside of ourselves, we will never see the fact that this discontent is inseparable from our present level of self, let alone come to understand that the only solution for it rests therein... In the last place we would think to search for it.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/24/16 - Spiritual wisdom is our greatest wealth and, as we realize the truth of this -- so that true self-knowledge becomes our single greatest wish in life -- each moment of every one of our relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of ourselves.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/17/16 - Part 1: You can neither control, nor change any anxious thought or emotion that rushes in and sweeps you off of your feet because this "I" -- this sense of yourself suddenly in a struggle to escape a psychological storm -- is itself a part of the squall it now so vigorously resists.
Part 2: Every thought, a blockage. Every emotion, a limitation. Every movement, a hindrance to Thee.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/19/15 - When we stop blaming the darkness, or ourselves, for having been walking in it, and decide, instead, to thank the Light for showing us the truth of our actual estate... then we turn the corner in our work to awaken conscience.
