Creation

In this short talk, "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about how creation is not complete without our awareness of it. When we surrender the fearful self that never stops pursuing what it wants, what we receive in exchange is this higher awareness of being an essential part of creation. Then we are participating in something timeless, where fear, hatred, anxiety, and doubt cannot dwell.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/19/16 - Best keep your eye on the interior life; let it be first and foremost. If the direction of outer life interferes with the awareness of the inner, follow the inner. Better they marry, but never allow what is outer to have precedence over the inner... and should this be so, if you're not yet able to do otherwise, then let this (state) be as a sorrow to you until, from out of it, comes the discipline needed to put first things first.

Student Talks: 10/03/2025 - 

Life gives. 

Life asks.

And when, at last, 

We are willing 

To surrender whatever

Life may ask of us,

Excluding nothing –

Let alone our most 

Familiar sense of self –

Then, for having died 

To the fear of death 

We are set free.

Remastered Classic Talk: 05/18/16 - It isn't your moment... unless you like doing time; real Life is a single movement. Whatever stirs you is a portion of the dance; whatever you hear is a single line from a verse or song with neither beginning nor end. Even these hints about heaven have already moved along. Creation is unceasing, so don't linger; for whatever seems to be here... isn't.

Student Talks: 3/21/2025 - It may be said that one finds freedom from suffering over oneself in direct proportion to one's realization that there is no separate self whose suffering is to be resisted.

Student Talks: 9/13/2024 - Key Lesson: Words are rocks in the stream of consciousness; no name is the experience it seems to define. Experience -- like the flow of a river -- is a silent, wordless movement. We can either live in, and from the conditioned experience of a word, or in the timeless awareness of experience itself.

Student Talks: 8/9/2024 - Key Lesson: Every shocking revelation we are given to see, and to realize (if we will) as true about our present nature is -- at its heart -- an unseen act of mercy; it is the herald of an order of higher understanding unimaginable to the human mind.

Topics covered: Struggling to get what you want always sets you against other human beings; "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers." -- New Testament; Not wanting a condition is the same as struggling to control the condition you don't want; Some moments are as painful as they are because you have an idea that they should not be that way. The real source of conflict is your ideas of what you want...
