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.

Topics covered: The greatest joy in life is to realize ourselves as the experience of creation itself; The happiest moments in my life are when I experience life as it's being given, which is meant to be an unending process; At a certain point in our lives it becomes evident that what I do and create and manifest are not enough. It's an endless race; We can't change the situations we have in life...

Topics covered:  A key does not do any good if it stays in your pocket and if you don't put in the lock and turn it. Likewise, if you don't prove true spiritual ideas for yourself, then the ideas can become worse than useless; What is the one thing that never comes to your mind when you find yourself in a negative state?... That you could actually be interested in what you have no interest in. Our interest is usually in what we have to do in order to escape from the negativity; We are not rightly interested in our suffering. We are wrongly interested in what to do about it. What would happen if we could actually be interested in what we usually have no interest in?

Learn to be still and listen: the less you have to say about life, the more Life will speak to you, and start telling you things that ears can't hear.

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.
