Renewal

In this short talk, Guy Finley discusses the difference between mere intellectual knowledge and the integration of that knowledge through having a direct relationship with the truth that shows us our actual condition.

There is no real reason why our lives should ever seem stale or feel futile because real life, of which we are a part, is always new right now.

If you continue living as you presently are -- as an outer-oriented person -- you will be doomed to re-create your life the way it has always been.

When we understand that self-knowledge is to our spiritual growth what a spring rain is to the wildflower seeds that await it, then we also realize how vital it is to not just embrace these higher laws but embrace them mind, body, and soul.

Why are we here? And what is our true role in this world? For, as we start to see reality -- as it is -- in its timeless expression of creating life, perfecting it, and then letting it go, only to start all over again, we realize that we ourselves are an integral part of this Great Endless Story. And if the whole of life is being made new in each and every moment -- and we ourselves are a pa...

You can't change the kind of person you are later. There is no later. It's always now or never. You can't be kind later. And you can't learn later. Choose to change now, and that moment will never come for you to worry about how to be better next time. Why? Because your conscious choice for real change in the present moment automatically cancels the need for a better you in a better future...

Nothing true and timelessly Good has ever taken root and flowered in this world that wasn't first sown by love, cultivated through sacrifice, and watered with tears.

The following key lessons are taken from 365 Days to Let Go.

What does, in fact, grow "older" in us -- and secretly seasons our suffering -- is how we more readily and rapidly accept our own conclusions that our prob...

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about why it is so important for all of us to learn something new and true about ourselves everyday.

In those times when we're busy dreaming up the next plan, the next love, the next thrill, aren't we really looking for a way to renew ourselves? Most of us experience "renewal" when some idea or a hope that we have gets fulfilled, filling us in turn with a sense of excitement; and then, in that feeling of being full of ourselves, comes a certain kind of pleasure that we take as being the same...

Do you feel like something is missing from your life? We have all felt like that to one degree or another. Yes, there are days when things seem to go well, but if we are honest with ourselves we know that there are not many good days, and as a result there is an incessant searching that is always going on. What is it that we are searching for? The unseen, unanswered need that every human bein...

In this world that we live in, nothing appears that is not an expression of an axiom. One of the reasons that the sun rises every morning is to reveal all that is created. Were it not for light, we would not be able to see forms because matter by itself is dark. Absolutely nothing in nature is special because everything is special. How many of you think that the world is intended to revolve a...
