Guy's Classroom Talks

Remastered Classic Talk: 06/26/2016 - What is True is quiet; it is at peace with itself, whatever it silently reveals. What is untrue has no such peace; it is unable to be silent. What is True has no need to think about, let alone talk to itself about any lie it may see. What is untrue can't stop talking to itself in order to cover up what it doesn't want to see, ceaselessly telling itself that it sees truly.

Remastered Classic Talk: 06/22/16 - If someone can say something to you about yourself that causes you to crash and burn -- so that you never stop smoldering over what they have said -- it's only because you have yet to see the truth of yourself. Here's the fact that not only proves the above, but within it rests the only real solution to this kind of suffering: Any truth you realize about yourself cancels both the fear of that truth as well as the level of self that lives in fear of it.

Classroom Talk: 06/22/2025 - No seed - whether a kernel of corn, or a special talent - can prove itself any more valuable than the sweat it takes to sow it, cultivate & nourish it until it offers up its latent Good. In much the same way, the soul is a seed; relationships are its ground; and what grows when all is properly cared for...is unconditional Love.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/15/16 - It is possible to know so much about the nature of fear that, one day, it simply runs out of ways to make you believe in its shaking.

Classroom Talk: 06/15/2025 - To see how easily our attention is given away to what limits, or otherwise corrupts us creates – on the spot -- not only the necessity to reclaim it, but each such shock serves to renew and strengthen our intention to never lose (sight of) it again.

Remastered Classic Talk: 06/08/16 - The repetition of patterns, even painful ones, is a form of safety to a mind that prefers to remain asleep to itself... because in the continuation of the known it finds a fitful kind of rest, even as it talks to itself about how much it hates being stuck in a rut!

Classroom Talk: 06/08/2025 - The great universal misperception that secretly drives human conflict ­– with all of its sorrow and pain – is that the meaning of life is to be found somewhere outside of our own heart and mind.

Remastered Classic Talk: 06/01/16 - 

Emergency! Then urgency!
Oh my... such an important me.
In this blindness, it's unkindness
Too late I see... the insensitivity
Of unseen self-captivity.

Classroom Talk: 06/01/2025 - Show me the one who governs his or her own thoughts and feelings, and I will show you someone who lives in a world unclouded by worry and fear.

Remastered Classic Talk: 05/25/16 - There is no right wrong emotion; there is no true false feeling; there is no positive negative state: End of story. To begin seeing this spiritual truth is the first step in walking away from -- and then dying to -- a lower level of self; the part of us that doesn't care what it feels... only that it has some kind of emotion with which it can be identified.

Classroom Talk: 05/25/2025 - It’s not by accident that we reach interim points of mounting resistance in our work to be free, any more than we accidentally meet the challenge of some uncertain, unstable ground that waits to be gained the nearer we come to the summit of a mountain.

Remastered Classic Talk: 05/18/16 - It isn't your moment... unless you like doing time; real Life is a single movement. Whatever stirs you is a portion of the dance; whatever you hear is a single line from a verse or song with neither beginning nor end. Even these hints about heaven have already moved along. Creation is unceasing, so don't linger; for whatever seems to be here... isn't.
