Student Q&A with Guy on "Enter the Divine Flow of Life Where No Fear Can Dwell" (9/8/24)
Posted: Sunday, September 8, 2024
Meeting: Sunday, September 8, 2024
Duration: 52min 44sec
Topics Covered
There is no way to see what you need to see as long as you only pursue pleasure and what makes you comfortable.
Life becomes unnecessarily difficult when you try to extract a sense of self from it. Then that self's life becomes all about trying to tame the very difficulties that it creates.
What you truly need is always with you, but your mind is always being misdirected away from looking in the right place.
Something new comes out of the relationship between what is active acting upon what is passive. The active and the passive already contain the potential for a new creation.
Creation is not personal. Creation is not static long enough for it to become personal. We turn the experience into something personal in our own minds, in imagination.
Our minds name the spark of creation, and at the same time believes that the disturbance it is feeling is separate from itself.
The purpose of life touching us is to disturb and therefore reveal the qualities that are already present within us, but that we do not yet see.
Needing to know exactly what has disturbed you converts the disturbance into something personal that, according to the mind, must be resolved in order to protect the self that thinks it knows.
The mind reduces the immensity of creation into a tiny form that it can understand. The moment that you give creation a name, then there is a self that knows.
Thought is the collapse of possibility, not the fulfillment of it.
A liberated human being is someone who is no longer identified with every experience that comes along.
You are never a captive of anything other than identification with what the mind has named. Pure experience is without a name, and that is freedom.
Revelation is nothing other than the Divine showing an aspect of Itself.
What is perfectly empty is perfectly full at the same time. A river is perfectly empty and perfectly full at the same time.
Exercise: See that what you fill the moment with IS what the moment is filled with. The more you see that, the more you will want to leave the moment empty of you. Leave the experience alone.
Identification with what you don't want strengthens the sense of self that doesn't want it.
The mind that begins to understand what is unnecessary begins to let go.
