Classroom Talk: 5/29/2024 - Here's why no negative reaction -- no matter how valid, or inescapable it may seem -- can liberate us from any unwanted moment it blames for its pain: all (lingering) painful reactions are the reincarnation of a dark nature whose "life" depends on their reoccurrence.

Classroom Talk: 5/22/2024 - It's impossible to let go of any painful moment until we lose interest in the troubled sense of self that we are deriving from it!

Classroom Talk: 3/21/2021 - We have no greater Friend in life than that small part of us that loves what is True. The more we are able to recognize and honor the fact of this matter, the more powerfully does this interior Friend step forward... And prove to us the value of our love for it.

Classroom Talk: 7/29/2020 - The ache of any dark moment -- of any discouraging thought or feeling that wants to convince us we'll never be free... is simply a lie.

Classroom Talk: 5/6/2020 - We cannot keep trying to "delight" ourselves, and develop ourselves -- spiritually -- at the same time, any more than we can have our cake and eat it too. But once we understand that the work of developing our soul is the only pleasure that never turns into some painful opposite... then our life becomes delightful...

Classroom Talk: 4/29/2020 - Part 1: Knowledge without spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and not a flame with which to light it.

Meditation Talk: 2/28/2020 - Strive for excellence in all things -- especially in your spiritual work -- to make your studies and actions continuous. Even a small amount of inner work on oneself, done each and every day, is better than a "grand" effort made every second moon.
