Student Q&A with Guy on "How to Succeed in the "Business of Life" Without Really Trying!" (2/21/21)

"It is only when we float upon the stream of awareness that we know that everything is just fine. We have no idea where we're going and yet we are unafraid, for we know and feel that we are eternal." -- Vernon Howard

The real business of life is not about hoarding as many possessions as possible. The real business of life is not connected to an achievement of any kind. The real business of life comes from a source that is Divine.

Divine dissatisfaction is an innate sense that we need to reconnect with something other than what the world is offering.

The world's business is based on achieving something in time. The real purpose of life is the realization that we already have everything we need in order to participate in the revelation of everything in the present moment, which is the same as the revelation of ourselves.

The consciousness that we live from sees itself as being separate from the world, and that division produces pain.

No moment or experience is apart from the revelation in the consciousness that perceives it. There is nothing outside of the eternity of every moment.

Identifying with a reaction separates us from the perfection of the revelation of that moment. The reaction belongs to an order of consciousness that is not 'I.' However, the reaction IS an element of that revelation.

The way we meet the moment is what determines our level of success in the real business of life.

The very attempt to keep anything in place is connected to something that is afraid of losing its place.

We either drink from the cup of revelation -- whether it is bitter or sweet -- or we don't. The ultimate revelation is that the consciousness that experiences the moment is not separate from the moment that it is perceiving.

An unwanted moment is the same as the revelation as the self that doesn't want the moment. The business of life is to die to that self as it appears.

It is not really the moment itself that we don't like. What we really don't like is the experience of the self that doesn't like the moment.

Serenity is in the relationship with the eternity that is within the moment, the Now, not in trying to make yourself eternal through accumulating psychological and physical possessions.

Real 'I' has no "why." There is no "why" the moment is the way that it is. The "why" comes after the mind's explanation of the experience of creation. The "why" that resists life is part of the "lie" of the false self.
