    On this one point all saints, sages, and illumined beings agree: there is nothing as certain as silence, stillness, and solitude to introduce you to the divinity within. The first step in learning to be still isn’t really an action at all, meaning that it’s nothing like we might ordinarily think of doing when we want our world to stop spinning like a top.

    The solution to all stress and tension is a mind that is made aware of itself as being the producer of that stress and tension. Stress and tension are products of an unaware, unawake mind wrestling with its own contents to free itself from struggle. Relief from that tension is not to struggle with more things or to become stronger than what stresses you, but to recognize the relationship between how you are involved in your own mind because of that...

    In this question and answer session, Guy explains that not wanting to see something about ourselves actually attaches us to the very thing that we say we don't want. So the task is not to change what we see. Instead, the task is to observe ourselves so that we can be changed by the very awareness that is observing.

    Real reactions are wordless, soundless, and even without familiar content. They are just the expression of something timeless touching something in time. The mind talks to itself in order to define these reactions for its own purposes, using its own past content in a vain attempt to reconcile the moment. The true reconciliation of any reaction is built into the very moment of the appearance of it...

    From this day forward, be a careful observer of the moving pictures in your own mind. Learn to watch all the various scenes without casting yourself as any of the players on the screen. Remember, nothing you see in that darkened theater is who you really are.

    Why can't we listen without conflict? There is almost always some kind of inner dialog going on in the background, formulating an interpretation of the moment and how we ought to respond to it. The true purity of the moment is rarely experienced. Seeing the fact of this division is the beginning of being present to the moment more fully.

    If we want to have a new relationship with life, we cannot continue to keep the company of chaotic thoughts that only serve to ensure that we remain the same person that we have always been. The Divine will come into our lives if it is invited, but we have to provide the space.

    Anytime we get a glimpse of the fact that we've made a mess of things in our lives, something in us quickly jumps in to cover it up and pretend that everything is fine. It is only when we no longer avoid seeing the fact of our situation and can finally admit "I don't like what I've made" that an atonement can take place.

    If you wish to enter into a new relationship with life you must be willing to challenge the voices of ""I can't"" or ""I won't"" or ""I don't"" when they appear in your mind. This is the only way you will ever have the possibility of discovering that those voices are not really you.

    The more any thought pushes you to run toward a time of some anticipated rest, the more you should work to slow down to see the following truth: with one hand, an unconscious self points to a "peace just ahead," even as its other hand is stirring up some form of anxiety that you might not get there!

    Topics covered:  Along with resistance to an unwanted moment comes the explanation about what the moment is all about; The first reaction to an unwanted moment does not have a name. It is a natural instant of something active acting upon something that is passive. The second reaction comes when the mind gives a name to the moment; There cannot be a perceived threat without something from the past naming and explaining what the moment means.
