Present Moment

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.

In this brief clip, Guy Finley explains that "multitasking" is actually the expression of a form of greed, which has its root in fear.

Here is one of the great spiritual mysteries of all time. Freedom is either found within one's suffering or not at all; the only thing one escapes who runs from his or her pain is the possibility of discovering its purpose and how to transcend it. *** There is no such thing as "later" when it comes to our spiritual life.

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.

Real life is not limited to what was; it is always new because it's the expression of a compassionate and living intelligence that actively shapes whatever it touches.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how the descriptions and interpretations of what we experience in our lives can never be as complete as the pure meaning that is found within the direct relationship with the totality of ourselves in the moment.
