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."

In this short commentary, Guy explains that the more you study the inner judge, the stronger the true and impartial observer within you becomes.

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.

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.

Guy Finly explains in this short talk that, if we want to be lifted above ourselves, we must see that we cannot reconcile any psychological disturbance that moves through us with the same level of mind that created the disturbance in the first place.

Guy talks about how it can actually be unhealthy to discuss the concept of "being one with God" because, most of the time, we get lost in imagination when we consider the idea. There is genuine "oneness with the Divine" only when, through moment-to-moment self-seeing and work on ourselves, we become the authentic expression of that which never stops giving life.

In this podcast, Guy Finley talks about how it is possible for us to establish a real relationship with a higher order of stillness that is authentically in command of any interior disturbance.

It is sometimes confusing when a person hears the idea of having faith in the divine because the mind that hears the idea is still a divided mind. This is why it is often so challenging to talk about such ideas. As the mind sees it, there is "me" and something outside of myself that I am going to have faith in. To have faith in what is true does not mean that you do not fully experience what...

The experience of what we are in the moment is always the product of comparison. Presently, what "I am" is always measured against something else, so that my identity begins divided. But our true nature is not something that our minds can think about, and cannot therefore be the product of any comparison. The great lesson that life is always teaching individuals is to let go of being who or w...

If you took the branches off of a tree, would the tree have the same meaning as it does with the branches? No, the tree would not have the same meaning because it would be missing half of what it is. The tree would no longer be whole. Love is when the reflection and the reflected are the same thing. The meaning of something cannot be found apart from the whole of it. Our present mind does not...
