In this video clip Guy addresses the following question that was submitted by an online viewer: "I watched negative states telling me to react to this and that. I stood there. Then I was driving to work and I didn't stand there. They surrounded my mind. I felt consumed by I's. Is being overwhelmed a trick of the mind?"

Watch this short excerpt by Guy Finley in which he tells two poignant stories that illustrate our deepest wish to know our purpose in Life and answer the ultimate question, "What am I doing on this planet?"

In this short talk, self-realization author Guy Finley talks about our capacity to discern the difference between mechanical thought that leads to self-compromise, and the kind of natural, intelligent intuition that will not harm itself or others.

The reason that we do what we do is because we are looking for the truth of ourselves. It doesn't matter - wanting to learn how to cook, wanting to start a new business, looking for a new relationship, wanting to learn how to write a book, surf, sumo wrestling - whatever it may be. And as many people as there are hearing or reading this... wherever you are, all over the world and in this room...

The only thing that really troubles us is that our attention doesn't belong to us. Presently, something calls for us and claims our attention. Every errant thought and feeling that passes through our psychic system commands that we attend to what it tells us to, and then tries to direct us to what we have to discover based on resistance to the moment produced by our misplaced attention...

The hidden nature of almost all that we do on a collective basis is the direct, but unseen, effect of this one great unconscious desire: to search out what we believe will complete us, drawing us to seek "greener pastures" by the deft touch of its magnetic hand, but never allowing us to rest...

In this one-minute wisdom video, Guy talks about how we already have everything we need to fulfill our purpose, if only we will allow ourselves to be revealed by the light that transforms everything it touches.

In this short talk, bestselling "letting go" author Guy Finley explains how we learn about the nature of procrastination so thoroughly that we can actually begin to use it to get things done.

Do you want to be a new person? Well, you're certainly not going to be a new person when you keep repeating the level of consciousness that literally runs itself into the ground... and where, incidentally, at the end of your physical life you have nothing whatsoever to show for your existence on this planet... any more than a lion has something to show for its existence...

Classroom Talk: 1/24/2021 - Just as a those who climb mountains must, at times, reach above themselves to gain a grip on a narrow ledge, we too must dare to go beyond ourselves if we wish to reach, let alone change our destiny. To that end, we must never forget the following truth: There's no danger in self-ascent, only in remaining who we have been.

Classroom Talk: 12/13/2020 - The Divine journey begins with our gradual awakening to the timeless depth and breadth of our own sleeping consciousness. All that we are, and hope to be already resides therein... waiting to reveal its Light to whoever will dare make the leap into the seeming darkness of its perfect emptiness...

Meditation Talk: 9/27/2019 - The realization of a need for the Divine in our life is the beginning of Its supernal entrance into us; and, to be clear, this touch is always His initiating action.
