Before we can change our destination and arrive in that higher world we want, before we can ever start out in that new direction that leads to liberation, we must wake up to the steps we're being given to take by a nature whose favorite direction is down. Victory over our own lower nature is now or never. Thinking, or hoping, that any destination we have in mind is going to be superior to w...

As paradoxical as it seems, the reason most of us find no lasting peace in life is because our mind is forever trying to find something outside itself in which it can rest. This condition is not unlike the little fish that, unhappy with just swimming around, went in search of water -- its hope being that if it could find what it was looking for then it would also find what was missing from i...

Guy explains what it means to "practice the presence" and sustain a relationship with a higher part of ourselves in the present moment. It starts with working to remain in our body, psychologically speaking, which allows our senses to keep us connected to the whole of life.

In this short talk, Guy Finley explains that "practicing the presence of God" is connected to understanding that you don't have anything more important to do than to simply be where you are.

What we do in the now is the sole seed of our life experience. *** Ju...

The awareness of our living relationship with the present moment -- our willingness to consciously practice its presence -- empowers us to know what's best for us without having to think about it.

Guy Finley explains that when you feel betrayed by God, the actual betrayal is by the deceiving mind that would lead you to believe that God deserts those who love Him.

Here is a simple but perfect truth... so simple, virtually no one sees it, and so perfect, it dispenses justice fairly to all: We become what we love. What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life. The treasure of our heart both measures and determines our wealth, or our inner poverty. But not everything we love in life loves us back...

Guy Finley talks about the difference between the conditional love that we currently experience, and the real, higher kind of love that our hearts long for, which can only be realized by loving and living in the present moment.

Guy Finley explains that true goodness is not measured by actions that validate the image we have of ourselves as being good. An action that is truly good has no self-reference, and is the natural outcome of being present.

Your awareness of the power of now can transform each challenging life moment into a new and true beginning for you.
