God

In this short clip Guy Finley reveals what "made in the image of God" means. When a student asks how to heal from "soul wounds," Guy explains that the soul can't be wounded because it is a microcosm of creation itself and a reflection of all that is made in the image of God.

Guy Finley explains that each of us has the possibility of nurturing the "seeds of our soul" so that in their flowering we not only become a bridge between Heaven and Earth, but are also brought into another level of relationship with the Divine.

Unconscious pain persists the way that it does in our lives because we don't know how to discern a true inner guide from a false one, and therefore are mastered by every negative thought and emotion that runs through us that describes to us why we feel the way we do.

In this brief talk, "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about how the discovery of who we really are -- our "true self" -- is possible only as we become more and more aware of the legion of false identities that have been operating mechanically in the dark.

Guy Finley explains that a real prayer formulates naturally within spiritual aspirants once they clearly see the fact of their own nature, and realize the necessity for genuine higher help.

Guy Finley explains that when you feel betrayed by God, the actual betrayal is by the deceiving mind that would lead you to believe that God deserts those who love Him.

In this short talk, Guy Finley explains that true prayer is not intended to be something that we do in order to achieve or acquire something for ourselves so that we can feel "at peace." Real prayer is connected to the understanding that, of ourselves, we cannot resolve the conflict that we experience within ourselves without higher help.

Guy Finley explains that everything you need to succeed and to change the kind of human being you are is already provided for you.

Topics covered:  The thinker can't escape its own thought. It is impossible. And yet we spend most of our lives trying to do just that; Two people arguing with each other each believe that they know what reality is. But there cannot be two different realities. There is only one reality; There are I's that are trained in the art of combat, and there are I's that are trained in the art of compromise. Each I is seamlessly handed off to another I. "If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."

Topics covered: The mind is forever trying to find a way to escape from the prison that it is constructing; Is there any other way to respond to a negative reaction other than to identify with, and then act out its choices... only to react again to the inescapable result of the choice we have made, and in whose promise we've become identified? What if its choices are not ours?; We go into thought in order to get out of the unwanted condition, when thinking itself IS the condition.

Topics covered:  Presently you are looking to find your place in life. What you should be doing is seeing what is out of place in your life; Hidden within the reaction that says "Make something happen!" is the unseen belief that you will lose something valuable if you do not. The unseen fear that demands that you make something happen threatens you with loss if you do not do as it commands.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/21/16 - What good is the love of Truth without standing up for the freedom it promises to those whom love it? This means that we must attend to, embrace, and then enact what is Light, Right, and True, even in the midst of all that may seem wrong within or around us. Only by daring to bring this intention into the midst of any such dark moment are we given to see -- first hand -- how His unfailing strength is made perfect in whatever may be our weakness.
