In this exchange with an online viewer, "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about a critical stage in the inner development of spiritual aspirants in which a necessary sense of emptiness appears after letting go of painful attachments.
In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how freedom from the tyranny of psychological storms begins by refusing to be consoled by anything that our minds can imagine, an action that allows the true consolation to make itself known to us.
What do we typically give our attention to in any given moment? Whether we are busy working on a practical task or waiting expectantly for something to happen, our attention is usually lost in a stream of thoughts about the past or about what may take place in the future. For those of us who are tired of finding ourselves the servant of any errant thought, we must learn what it means to wait i...
Have you ever have a "yuck" kind of a day? We're all familiar with those days in which there's no passion to do anything at all, there's no energy, everything seems meaningless, and our personal forecast looks dreary. But why would we ever sit and not like what the day has brought? Why don't we want what we call a "yucky" day? Here's the answer: Because we don't know what to do with it. You...
An unknown Love, an unknown God, and an unknown "me" that must give that unknown Love. With persistence, the awakening soul gradually awakens to what is asked of it. What is asked of the soul cannot be taught to us by another person. Only God can reveal the way to the willing individual. But what do we do when it seems like we have been abandoned, when we feel no love at all? How is it possi...
Student Talks: 2/16/2024 - Key Lesson: Life is change; it is creation revealing itself. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its Divine design, or we can continue to struggle with unwanted moments in the false belief that the pain of our resistance (to them) proves we know how life is supposed to unfold.

Topics covered: Every unwanted moment is the fear of death; God's life is a great undiscovered ocean that is already within you. The ocean doesn't exist outside of you and you have always been a part of it, but as yet you do not know how to participate. Seeing that you do not know is the beginning of participating; The fear of "un" is fear of the unknown, the undiscovered, the unwanted. Until you get over the fear of "un" you'll never know...

This content is only available with Premium Membership
Topics covered: In order to genuinely change our life, we need a change of light. And the light that reveals our consciousness hurts the eyes at first; The land of "one and done" that we are all trying to reach exists only in imagination. There is no such place. It is a mythological land. This is what mechanical religion and false teachers try to sell to you; If you don’t see for yourself the truth of something, you do not know the truth...

Student Talks: 2/24/2023 - Key Lesson: My most contented hours are those filled with emptiness; and I regret -- as comes their appointed time -- having to fill these precious moments with what is little more than the mandatory, but mostly empty business of this world: attending to all of the virtually endless forms that are, at best, shadows of the real... at worst, vanities.

Topics covered: A necessary realization along the upward path is that there are parts of you that do not want you to realize the truth of yourself; Although not really aware of it, the question of "Who am I" sits behind every pursuit, both worldly and spiritually; We are told that we are missing something, believe in the absolute truth of that idea, and then search for what we are told to pursue...
