The AI summary which I’m calling CI anymore which would be collective intelligence. Has the homogenous people pleasing flavor to it as its current learning phase is expressing. I need to read it again for a couple of details that I’m not quite sure is accurate but overall seems to have done a pretty good job thank you. U2 and everyone else as well 🙏❤️🌈
Scroll up for my Feb 25 comments.
I am so grateful that Pam led me to John’s Nisargadatta class. It was a miracle that she heard my cry for help across the ethers. The class has been more than I could have imagined.
I believe in the last class John asked for ideas of other books that might be candidates for class study. I have not read this myself, but what about Joel S. Goldsmith, “The Infinite Way”. Just a thought. Maybe you have already done this.
Thanks for responding, Barbara. Your interest to continue is duly noted. I agree, the teachings are so rich and deep that we could spend years unpacking and enjoying the treasures that they offer. The trouble, as I see it, is that in order to access them one must be willing to trek into very high altitudes, which will inevitably cause headspinning and dizziness for those that are not used to such teachings. I’m thinking something less rarefied.
As for Joel, we recently went through a study of three of his books, the last was over 400 pages. So I think it best to offer something new.
Barbara,
Joel’s writings are totally transformative and wonderfully radical. I think you would love them.
The Class on Joel’s book, “Living the Infinite Way” is available for $40 in our archive study offerings. Here is a link: https://studyoftheway.com/archive-studies/#joel1.
Love you,
Mary
I believe you asked if there would be interest in doing a third class for this book (I am That). I am interested. For me, the study of this book is like a never-ending story. I can’t get to “Natural Unity” through reading the words, but I sometimes hear whispers of that state when I participate in the classes. The words distract and elucidate my mind as my heart quietly sneaks across the bridge spanning the abyss. Hard to express in words. My appreciates John’s explanations and and my heart loves the energy in which they are uttered.
I should have edited my comment…LOL You get the point….
Very well put, Barbara. I love Nisargadatta and John’s teaching. Both are helping me so much. I want to have a 3rd Part to help me stay grounded and reinforced. Being in a community of learners is helpful beyond words. If we do not continue, I am concerned that I will wander off the Nisargadatta path which is foundational. It is a small call yet powerful.
There are many givers but few takers. We are the takers and we all appreciate John’s teaching so much! I have searched the internet and Meetup and found nothing to even come close to the power and depth of this class.

Here’s a little word play you may have noticed
Entitled “hidden in plain sight”
The infinite is reading these words in the finite
InFinite 👀
And then on the spiritual path
we find we are going nowhere
NowHere🌻
Yes, I am familiar with these word plays but always nice to revisit. It is fascinating to contemplate how immediate, open, and ever-present is the Great Mystery of Being, and how beyond all comprehension and contemplation. “The mind makes the abyss, the heart crosses it…. Love is the bridge.”
Your mention of pirates yesterday 🏴☠️
in Bob Marley’s “ Redemption Song”
Reminded me of a Dzogchen pirate saying
“Yar That!”🙏❤️🌈🛸
Haha! Shiver me timbers.
“eat me drink me smoke me”
from: The Firesign Theatre – How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You’re Not Anywhere At All
From Ch. 42:
… there is no progress in reality, it’s final, perfect, unrelated.
Q: how can I bring it about?
M: you can do nothing to bring it about,
but you can avoid creating obstacles.
🤗
Same chapter:
Q: is there a way to it?
M: everything can become a way, provided you are interested.
Just puzzling over my words I’m trying to grasp their full meaning is a Sadhana (spiritual practice) quite sufficient for breaking down the wall. Nothing troubles me. I offer no resistance to trouble – – Therefore it does not stay with me… I am immune. Anything may happen– – What is needed is sincere interest. Earnestness does it.🙏❤️🌈
And from the Introduction to A Course in Miracles:
…It [the Course] does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance…
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
🙏❤️
Ya Salam Shalom Shantihi Shalamay
