As difficult and shocking as it may be to consider, within us dwells a certain level of unconscious desire that loves... to not want. It has but one purpose: This part of us "lives" to resist anything that doesn't live up to its expectations. Why would anything want to live like that? Because what this dark nature likes most of all is being negative!

In this short talk, self-realization author Guy Finley talks about the benefits of a quiet mind, which includes the recognition and letting go of the pain that is inherent in the mind's judgment of both yourself and other people.
In the same way you know that a dog may bark and nip at you but not harm you, when you hear a voice that says, "you're out of time," or feel a pressure telling you, "you've got to run," one day you'll feel that pressure, that hypertension, that anxiety, and inwardly you will hear another certain kind of voice that basically says, "That's it. No more running for you. No more running for you."
The "healing" we need, the sense of wholeness for which we search, has nothing to do with adding anything to ourselves. This needed healing comes from recognizing that the pain we have -- along with the suffering inherent in being negative over this pain -- is born out of participating in a series of illusions that have been handed down from generation to generation!...
It is no stretch of the imagination to say that many days most of us wrestle with some form of discontentment in life. Add to this disgruntled condition an equal amount of time spent searching for solutions to "cure" this confliction, and we come to realize a great deal of our time on earth is spent trying to dodge feelings of being discontented!
In this short commentary, Guy explains that the more you study the inner judge, the stronger the true and impartial observer within you becomes.
The awakening mind is fully capable of recognizing the difference between states of darkness and light, between what "serves" and what "steals" the new life stirring within us.
Guy Finley explains that fear is not real any more than the shadow of an object is the object itself. It is merely a projection of a nature that has set itself against what is real. Just as we cannot defeat the hydra by attacking its individual heads, we must work to see and change the nature itself that uses the many heads of fear to divert us from its hiding place in us.
The mind asleep to itself is a "divided" mind. One part of us wants what another part of us feels guilty about wanting.

Guy Finley explains how weakness that is within us resists and judges the weakness in others, and how we can use that negative force of judgment to realize the oneness that already exists.

When you stop talking to yourself, you will find yourself back in the moment where life is literally bringing to you everything that you need in order to go through and become a part of the moment that changes you.
