Classroom Talk: 11/24/2019 - We all want to be new; we long to meet each moment with a clear mind and open heart. But being new is not a destination; neither does it wait for us in some imagined time to come. Being new is an action; and it is now... or never.

Classroom Talk: 11/17/2019 - Part 1: Unconscious negative reactions feel intelligent because they are inseparable from some equally unconscious judgment that lends them their temporary "life." So that, in this manner, the more stress, anger, or pain we feel -- born of having identified with one of these dark reactions...

Classroom Talk: 11/10/2019 - For too long we've believed that whatever limitation we meet in ourselves -- in some unwanted moment -- would not exist were it not for that same unwanted moment in which we meet it. It's just not true. The real limitation is how instantly identified we become with a fearful reaction "telling" us that we...

Classroom Talk: 11/6/2019 - Here's a great secret: anytime you feel like you "can't" go through something -- do what you want to -- or maybe just handle whatever needs to be done, remember the following: This painful sense of "I can't" -- including the legion of heavy thoughts that seem to anchor you to it -- is NOT you. Who YOU are...

Classroom Talk: 10/27/2019 - Any form of identification with the insanity of this world -- regardless the "noble" name we may come up with as the reason for it -- serves to instantly negate our highest possibilities. And this makes us, in turn, complicit in the creation of our own limitations, so that we live in a kind of prison we help...

Classroom Talk: 10/20/2019 - Part 1: Look behind and beyond all that unfolds in creation, and therein you will see...an eternal Source, the seed of all that flowers in passing time. Look behind and beyond yourself, and therein you will see...a Divine Light whose timeless Life is the source and seed of your soul. Part 2: I am in you, you are in me...

Classroom Talk: 10/13/2019 - Part 1: It has long been said, and wisely so: "Birds of a feather flock together." But for those who seek higher Wisdom...let it also be known: this old proverb holds equally true when it comes to useless thoughts and feelings. Part 2: The answer as to what is the best use of one's life is found in being present enough with oneself...

Classroom Talk: 10/6/2019 - The more we awaken to realize our true role in life is to fill the gap between "what is" with "what has been" -- by agreeing to die to any part of us that would otherwise interfere with its atonement -- the more we see the truth that sets us free: our willingness to make this sacrifice aligns us, on the spot, with an ineffable peace...

Classroom Talk: 9/29/2019 - Part 1: Refuse to negatively anticipate a problem, and you won't have anything to resist. Part 2: Any negative assumption that pops up in us about ourselves -- that darkens our aspirations for a higher, happier life -- are like sharp thorns on the stem of a fragrant rose: their only the power to cause us pain is if, or when we...

Classroom Talk: 9/22/2019 - We cannot be made into anything that we haven't first agreed to be made into; this means there can only be one reason why we find ourselves feeling afraid, angry, or anxious when suddenly thrown into some unwanted moment: we are turning to, and living from... the wrong maker.

Classroom Talk: 9/15/2019 - Each moment is pregnant with infinite new possibilities that can only be realized and conceived in the "womb" of a higher consciousness that waits -- in perfect stillness -- to be both the instrument, and the witness of that new birth.

Classroom Talk: 8/28/2019 - We cannot separate the pain, the sorrow, nor for that matter, the mounting rage of this world from what amounts to nothing less than our unseen demands upon it.
