Crisis

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...

There isn't an instant in which you and I are not being touched by life for the purpose of life being changed by its own touch. Creation is never not happening. But to take part in it, to be a participant in it, requires that we understand that presently we are meeting life from a mind that is fast asleep in itself because it is intimately connected with desire that imagines a way to resolve itself.

Instead of wishing that difficult moments would just go away, bestselling "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about the possibility of meeting those moments of crisis for the purpose of discovering something new about yourself.

The only possibility those busy thoughts hold as we anxiously consider fearful options is which one of them is going to make us its prisoner. And it doesn't matter which fearful thought you choose... You plant a fear seed; you will grow a fearful tree...

At our current level of consciousness, we experience ourselves as beings who have a certain emotional state of energy come into us, which defines and shapes our individuality. But the fact of the matter is that there is no such self. Not really. There are just these states of energy and the fleeting sense of self that their undetected possession produces...

Guy Finley reveals that the "self" that grieves over an unwanted event is the same level of self that dragged you into the situation in the first place. We have the capacity to use the shock of that realization to wake up and let go of the pain.

Topic: Let Go of These 4 False Beliefs and Be Free! (7/1/20 Classroom Talk)

Classroom Talk: 7/1/2020 - Most of our fears are based in a false belief that life can throw something at us greater than our ability to rise above it, or whatever frightens us about it. But this mistaken perception is as false as are the limitations it imposes on us. Our True Self never fears unforeseen changes in life any more than the sun...
