False Beliefs

In this video, we'll explore the concept that the only conflict we ever truly face is the one within us. It's not the world or the people around us, but the outdated ideas, beliefs, and identities that we cling to that keep us trapped in circles of frustration. When we recognize this, life can no longer be a battle. It becomes a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley explains that the revelation of what is false is made possible by the light of truth, so that we can gradually stop being deceived by harmful lies.

In this short video, Guy explains that there is a treasure hidden inside all of us, and that part of this treasure includes the understanding that we are not who we think we are.

True serenity, real inner repose is the same as being quietly, consciously, released from a legion of false beliefs... each of which gives rise to an equally false sense of self.

Spiritual blindness is not of the eye; (it is) the dark effect of being unconsciously identified with a lower level of consciousness that has no interest in looking beyond its own deeply conditioned beliefs... for fear of falling off the edge of the only world it knows.

Classroom Talk: 3/20/2024 - So-called "self-love" is the endless hunger of an unconscious nature for the attention of others... to feed its insatiable appetite to feel as important as it imagines itself to be.

Classroom Talk: 7/12/2023 - Only in our awareness of a weakness -- by our ability to sense the presence of any negative, or otherwise self-denigrating thought or feeling -- is found the strength we need to die to this lower level of self that, otherwise... lives to ensure that we accept its limitations as being our own.

Classroom Talk: 1/18/2023 - Until we understand that the revelation of some undesirable quality in our consciousness is not an accusation, but a Divine invitation to realize and transcend that unconscious character... we will continue clinging to the false belief that judging ourselves proves we are superior to what we judge.
