This Week's Topic

Remastered Classic Talk: 4/26/17 - It's impossible to separate being identified with the pursuit of some false purpose in life from the unconscious suffering produced by the same.

Remastered Classic Talk: 4/19/17 - There are some things in this life -- in this world of passing time, governed as it is by the illusion of opposites -- that cannot grow up side-by-side; by their nature, the lion and the lamb never lay down together. So it is with love and self-pride, for love of self denies obedience... While love demands it.

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/29/17 - The pain of any dark, unwanted moment - of any suffering that makes your life feel pointless - is best reconciled by this revelation, along with its implied action: Yours is the right to exchange any form of feeling powerless for the realization that nothing about it - neither its pain, nor its sense of despair belongs to who you really are.

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/22/17 -

Part 1: Your possibilities in life for spiritual growth are as unlimited as is your willingness to consciously meet your limitations.

Part 2: Resisting the revelation of any one of your present limitations... is like resenting the ocean because you never learned how to swim!

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/15/17 - It is impossible to hear the "Voice of Heaven" -- to be in any level of communication with real conscience -- and to be talking to yourself at the same time.

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/08/17 - 

Part 1: Humility comes only with our capacity to feel our own nothingness and, at the same time, to feel all that we are given to be.

Part 2: It's impossible to feel real life and to fear it at the same time.

Remastered Classic Talk: 3/01/17 - 

Part 1: The purer the reflection, the more immaculate its conception.

Part 2: We are not lifted by our emotions... rather, we are chained to them; we go where they take us. As long as our identity is a derivative of any temporary passion, our sense of self is a by-product of the same... much in the same way as a spark owes its existence to the flame that gives it birth. When the fire dies, so does its heat.

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/22/17 - There is likely nothing more painfully mistaken -- no greater impediment to the realization of our freedom than the feeling that we are somehow entitled to it; we are entitled to nothing, and yet -- even in this world of spellbound souls who can only dream of being free -- we may have anything for which we're willing to make the appropriate payment.

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/15/17 - 

Part 1: Behind every expectation that we have for how we should be treated by others lurks the inevitable sense of feeling betrayed by them any time they fail to hit their assigned mark. Behind this disappointment in their character or demeanor -- in fact, its partner in this kind of discrimination -- dwells an unseen sense of righteousness based on a false assumption that we are nothing like what we are so easily moved to judge.

Part 2: It's always the right time to discover something new and true about our present level of being, even if, in that same moment, what we uncover seems altogether wrong.

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/8/17 - 

Part 1: This moment -- now -- is the timeless ground, seed, and fulfillment of all that is possible for us to be; to discover its riches is the first step in realizing, and then reclaiming our True Self.

Part 2: Wanting to be anything other than aware of what creation is ceaselessly showing you about yourself is wasting what Life itself wants for you: a chance to realize, and become as one with a new and higher level of consciousness attainable in no other way.

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/1/17 - 

Part 1: Between a reaction and our response (to it), we must find the will to repose. Without being able to enter into the timeless space between what stirs us, and what it reveals within us, it's likely that what we see as a wise choice (in that moment) will prove itself an action born of some ignorance yet to be realized.

Part 2: Knowledge doesn't exist without the past, while Wisdom has no past.

Remastered Classic Talk: 1/25/17 - Being "clever," or "strong" enough to escape unwanted moments is not the same as escaping the fearful nature within us that creates them. Freedom, real freedom, is not being able to successfully avoid the things we fear; rather, it is the moment-to-moment realization of a relationship with the whole of Life... wherein we can see that who we are, our True Self, has nothing to fear in this world, or in any other.
