In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about the fact that we can grow into an ever-expanding relationship with truth because something of that truth already dwells within us.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how it is possible for us to discover an authentically new life if we will persist with our wish to know the truth of ourselves.

In this podcast, Guy Finley talks about how true fulfillment is connected to using our life for the purpose that it was given to us.

No one likes to be told what to do. The odds are, if someone tells us what to do, we are not going to do it. This is how most human beings behave. But we are intended to outgrow this stubborn, prideful nature that will not consider anything higher than its current view. If we are encouraged to do something that is good for us, what is it within us that refuses? The answer is that it must be so...

How many of us look out ahead of ourselves at some unwanted event that looms too large, and find ourselves feeling out of control... headed for what seems an unavoidable collision? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to reach down inside of ourselves, grab hold of the controls of our own consciousness, and pull ourselves up? To quietly watch that would-be mountain of a problem, whatever it is, jus...

Once we awaken to see that each of our lives is an integral part of an eternal turning point, and that nothing changes in this great Life without changing everything within it, then we can let go of trying to change ourselves and simply take our natural place, participating in the power of the Life Awakened. This principle is critical to us if we want to understand how we find a life greater...

In our willingness to journey to what seems the end of us, we are gifted with the understanding that there is no ending to our True Self.

As you are about to read, my answer mentions nothing about becoming recognizably powerful, having fine possessions, or winni...

Only God knows why a flower can remain tightly wrapped up as a bud for its entire life, never opening, so that in a way it never fulfills the purpose of its existence. In the same way, only God knows why a human being can spend an entire lifetime closed off from his or her higher possibilities. But if for some reason that individual, regardless of age, has the "impossible" impulse to open in s...

The only one way that any of us will ever know the real meaning of Christ's life is to share in His death. This means that we must give up what this man gave up if we want to know from ourselves what was gained through His deliberate sacrifice. If we want to know the truth behind Christ's act, then we must stop thinking about it and get down to the business of actually doing it ourselves. It...

There exists a grand Intelligence that is ceaselessly trying to help us realize a way to bring an end to the dissatisfaction that sits in our hearts. Metaphorically speaking, we could call this the "Hand of God" touching our lives. And while all of us would say that we want this divine touch, the truth is that most human beings do not want it at all. The truth is that most of us would rather l...
