We are created and each of us is intended to discover the truth of ourselves within ourselves; no authorities are needed. Our lives -- and all of our relationships as revealed in the present moment -- are the ground we must plow. These soils, rendered receptive through conscious humiliation, are seeded with our intention to be kind and true to one another, to give up our selfish ways, and to willingly embrace whatever life lessons we need to further...

Love exists. She is never not present although her life-giving presence is rarely perceived, much in the same way as we breathe in air moment to moment barely noticing the gift of life it sustains. Nothing exists without Love. She is the secret Heart of all. These are not just words. They are an introduction to an Invitation created when Time began. To what are we invited? To know that we are already a measure of Love's Timeless Life...

What if you actually understood there is no death? Think for a moment what your life would be like. And I'm not just talking about the incessant human fear of their mortality. I'm talking about those moments in which it feels like you're dying because something has happened to you that you don't like, and how you struggle to keep alive the very thing caught in that crisis -- that nature struggling, suffering instead of understanding that the moment has come...

Almost every day I receive a letter, an e-mail, or phone call from an aspirant who wants to know, essentially, the following: "What must I do to succeed spiritually?" Or, in a slight variation on that theme: "What's the right way to do what I must in order to awaken?"

I'm going to give you five ways to make the most out of every moment of your life. They're very simple ones. Then I'm going to explain each simple one. These actually are presented to you in a specific order because there's a broader story. Whenever I order principles, there's a broader story that's told in the collective understanding of them.

Our lives, as they are, are less than half of what they are intended to be. We can recognize that something is clearly missing. Often, even though we come up with: "It's him," "It's her," "It's this," or "It's that" which is clearly missing, it turns out that we may even get these things, and things still seem to be missing in our lives...

Classroom Talk: 4/14/2024 - If -- by the light of remembering and considering what is Timeless, Holy, and True -- the heart is warmed and gradually enflamed, then the following must be true, even if yet to be seen: within us must dwell some sort of celestial kindling; what else can explain how such a flame is created, let alone serve as a light in the darkness of the soul... uniting the twain, making of them as one.

Classroom Talk: 4/7/2024 - Part 1: We can't be anxiously looking for real Life, and take part in its rebirth at the same time. Part 2: United we see; divided we fall.

Classroom Talk: 3/31/2024 - The reason why the search for the "Truth" of oneself is called "pathless"... is because it's not taken in steps, let alone in any known direction; rather, the "journey" to authentic self-liberation is found in our endless opportunity to enter into an ever-higher order of self-understanding that -- like the light in which it is revealed -- never stops expanding. And... we are invited to travel along.

Classroom Talk: 3/24/2024 - We are not being called to be more than we are, let alone to judge ourselves when we see we have missed the mark; rather, we are here to discover ALL that we have been given, and how - if we dare accept this unimaginable gift - we will see it multiplied a hundredfold.

Classroom Talk: 3/17/2024 - Once we learn what it means to see ourselves, to accept every impression as the herald of the new self-knowledge that it brings, then we will not only understand what it means to welcome each such revelation - whether wanted, or not - but to receive, with grace, whatever we are given to see as being true about ourselves.

Classroom Talk: 3/10/2024 - Being is a conscious relationship with what is now; knowledge is a relationship with what was, the conditioned content of the past.
