Everyone wants to know how to think their way out of painful situations, especially the ones that keep repeating in our lives. Guy explains how to start seeing this question with a new mind by being conscious and aware of when we start to overthink it.

We say that we want things to change, but we usually seek a change that we can recognize. If what we want is a change that we can recognize, then we must have an image of what change actually is. And if we are imagining what change is, then it is no change at all, but is instead part of a consciousness that is trying to escape itself through yet another plan.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how anything that is authentically new in life is the fulfillment of a pattern, which then creates a new pattern, which itself is then intended to be transformed into something new. It is a timeless process of rebirth.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how all interior dialogs within oneself are the result of something within us that is trying in vain to reconcile a disparity that is intended to be reconciled in the moment the disparity appears.

Guy Finley briefly describes in this short talk how our lives can change for the better, including all of our past, if we are willing, right now, to do the necessary kind of interior self-work that changes everything.

Guy Finley explains in this brief talk that we can either be embroiled in regret and resentment over the cruel behavior of someone from our past, or we can stop agreeing to hurt ourselves in the present moment by becoming aware of our unhealthy relationship with these dark states.

In this short talk, Guy Finley emphasizes the importance of having an awareness of our own interior lives so that we can begin to see the need to stop feeding the painful parts of us that blindly judge others (and ourselves).

In this short talk, Guy Finley explains that if we will stop agreeing to "feed" the parts of us that produce unnecessary pain, then gradually those parts will stop growing.

There is an immense reason why we do not develop spiritually. It is because when it is time to act, our intellects become frozen and get locked up in the trap of "should I" or "shouldn't I.". Instead of properly acting on impulse in the present moment, we have become people who always defer to a conflict that exists in thought. Every impulse to act is the same as the opportunity to discover a...

Do you think for a moment that God is ever disappointed with the moment that He has made? Your personal unhappiness is because you are disappointed with yourself. In reality, who you really are is not apart -- not separate from -- the moment that God has made. The moment and you are the same thing. Whenever you can catch anything in you that feels disappointment or discouragement, drop it ins...

The pain you go through when there is a higher purpose behind it is not the same as the pain when there is no useful purpose. Pain gives you a purpose that serves nothing but the nature that serves it. The clearer that becomes, you will no longer be afraid to "sell all" in moments when you are invited to turn the other cheek and not speak out from your suffering.

Topics covered: The meaning of the passage "Sell all and follow me" pertains to selling the psychological possessions of your past and your future; The hope in a time to come in which you will be free is the very prison you are in now; If you complete the moment, then you complete yourself. If you don't complete the moment, then you are tied to an incomplete nature seeking to complete itself in a time to come...
