Have you noticed yet that wherever you go, the thing that you don't want the most seems to know where you are? Seriously. It doesn't just know where you are. The Divine has created the conditions under which a reaction will be stirred and brought into your consciousness so that you can finally realize that running from it doesn't change the reality of it. Only bringing it into the light...

It feels like I have been a seeker forever, but have not yet found the enlightenment I have been seeking. Is enlightenment something that happens, or is it just an understanding?

Real spiritual strength is realized, slowly, by daring to drop any self-blinding negative states that we have allowed to define us.

In this excerpt from an interview with Rob Spears of KKNW's Conscious Talk Radio, Guy Finley explains that the purpose of his 2017 "Talks in the Pines" workshop will be to feed the part of us that longs to understand the role of our soul in our spiritual life.

Without the soul there is no relationship to the Divine. Our relationship with the Divine occurs because of this tiny magnetic part within us that is capable of developing. We can't see leaves grow, and likewise we cannot directly see the soul grow. And yet, like a tree that opens its leaves when it gets what it needs from the sun, so does the nascent soul open up its sails when it receives th...

The following higher insights are rarely discussed among the spiritually uninitiated because of the measurable effect that their strong medicine causes in the soul. But not only do they help summarize a prescription for a free life, they also present the case for why we need such a healing.

Just as there must be a marriage between the aspiring soul and the timeless Spirit that gives it life, so must there be a union between spiritual sweat, sacrifice, and the fruit of what that interior work reveals.

The goal of all truthful teachings handed down through the ages has been to encourage individuals to follow the path to a more expansive existence.

In this short talk, Guy Finley explains that when we begin to observe that most of our time is spent in a sort of twilight state of sleep, we will begin to understand the necessity for waking up and working to remain present to ourselves.

When we understand that self-knowledge is to our spiritual growth what a spring rain is to the wildflower seeds that await it, then we also realize how vital it is to not just embrace these higher laws but embrace them mind, body, and soul.

The spiritually awakened life is not something that one achieves -- the true higher life comes to us naturally and reveals and expresses itself in anyone who realizes that this living light within us is always present.

Guy Finley explains that there is a nature inside of us that wants nothing to do with spiritual work and inner transformation. We must consciously meet this part of ourselves that is not interested in doing what is right, and work to develop the right kind of spiritual toughness so that we can be present to ourselves in every moment, in spite of what it seems to cost.
