Classroom Talk: 4/24/2024 - Here's why truth teachings through the ages speak of our being "blind," as well as why -- if we hope to know the Divine -- we need new "eyes to see": As surely as the still waters of a mountain lake reflect the light of the moon, or that an injury starts to heal in the same moment incurred, the answer to the question "who am I?" is always in plain sight.

Classroom Talk: 2/14/2024 - Part 1: The witness to experience is not bound by it.
