We're about to learn about a new kind of understanding with the power to transform "dark" moments into liberating self-discoveries. Let's get started... We don't yet see "problems" for what they really are: a part of the Light within us that we have yet to perceive! Any thought or feeling that troubles us in mind or heart, any fear or worry, is like a candle not yet lit...
Guy Finley reveals that the "self" that grieves over an unwanted event is the same level of self that dragged you into the situation in the first place. We have the capacity to use the shock of that realization to wake up and let go of the pain.
The goal of all truthful teachings handed down through the ages has been to encourage individuals to follow the path to a more expansive existence.
Nothing is missing from our lives except for our not yet awakened ability to see this essential truth: just as fire needs wood to express its warmth and light, so too do we need the "darkness" of what we have yet to understand about ourselves. It rarely occurs to us, but *there is a greater potential in what we don't yet know about this life of ours than there is in what we've already seen...
Regardless of how dark or empty any given moment may first appear, it acts only as a herald of the living light he needs to see his way home to the Divine.
If the sky were empty, birds couldn't fly through it. The only way to know the fullness of the nothingness you fear is to launch yourself into it. Do this enough times, and soon you will start to feel -- and know -- the presence of a timeless stillness that binds all things together.

Every once in a great while you get a very quick glimpse of the fact that you are spiritually alone.

Every shattered dream and every crisis brings us back to that moment in which we realize that inwardly we are alone, with nothing and no one to lean on. We must see the fact...
Could you give some insight into loneliness and how to abolish it? At times it seems to me that the more I realize about the awesome nature of spiritual love, the more loneliness I feel in my current human relationships. I long to share my discoveries with others, but who do I turn to? Sometimes I feel a deep loneliness in my heart. I know I have many tools to be happy, and the most important...
End the Dark Cycle of Discontentment - Part I...
Whenever you come to me I have no questions for you, only openness. Nothing needs be spoken. Everything is in its place; all is accounted for. But when you leave... I am like a harbor without a boat; a nest without a bird; a cup that somehow knows what it means to have capacity, yet that sits without any means to fill itself except for this flood of questions rushing to pour themselves into w...
At times it seems to me that the more I realize about the awesome nature of spiritual love, the more loneliness I feel in my current human relationships. I long to share my discoveries with others, but who do I turn to? A certain kind of loneliness, of feeling ourselves all alone, is a necessary portion of the path to the higher life. This sense of being alone comes out of realizing what...
