Freedom

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how we are intended to actively use the gifts we are given so that we can begin to enter into an authentic relationship with the Divine.

Each time we see the need to let go of something -- a bad habit that drags us down, an unsatisfactory relationship, a career choice that can't complete us in the way we dreamed it would, or maybe unrealistic expectations of ours about others that eventually spoil our partnerships with them -- whatever it may be: what is it that's actually happened in these moments of honest self-examination?

The key to regaining command of yourself in any moment you start to feel as though you're in a rush is to remember that who you are and what you are is made to be changing and transforming the moment you are in.

In this podcast, Guy Finley talks about how painful tension persists because we are relying on something outside of ourselves to tell us who we are.

In our willingness to journey to what seems the end of us, we are gifted with the understanding that there is no ending to our True Self.

How do I find some way to feel good about something that I have no interest in? If I am trying to motivate myself, it means that I have no real interest in what I am doing. Why would I even want to try to motivate myself to do something that I have no passion for? Why would I run myself through the same loops that I have already seen as being empty? The answer is that we human beings have bee...

Ultimately, all of our searching in life is for what we believe will release us from something that presently restricts us. If a man or woman is genuinely earnest, he or she will go down a countless number of different roads in order to find freedom. But you can't set out to find something without you being the one who is going to find it, which means that for each different pursuit, you assum...
