Renewal

There is really no such thing as a "new year." What does exist is the rare human being who has entered into a relationship with Truth. That man or woman is renewed moment to moment to moment. If we are not renewed, then by default we are reliving the past, which makes it impossible for us to experience anything new.

The kingdom of heaven is seen only through an open heart. And the only way in which a heart opens is when an individual begins to understand that there's nothing in creation that can hurt who and what you are.

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.

Light transforms whatever it touches. The light of awareness acts on our essence and changes us according to Its wishes.

Student Talks: 1/10/2025 - It's not the unwanted moment that limits our possibilities, but rather that we meet it from a limited part of us; where, without our knowing it, an unconscious nature has already decided not just the meaning of that event, but what we can -- or cannot -- do about it; where our choices in each moment are predetermined by our conditioned reaction to it.

Topic: Enter the Unseen Temple of the Indwelling Divine (Classroom Talk 1/3/24)

Classroom Talk: 1/3/2024 - Higher self-awareness is a sacrificial fire; both a flame and its light, it alone is capable of illuminating, and then consuming the shadows cast forth from the world of dreams within which, alone, they dwell; the light of this awareness is a fire that does not burn.

Topic: How to Let Go and Enter the Divine Flow of Life: Part 2 (Classroom Talk 3/1/23)

Classroom Talk: 3/1/2023 - It's your life, your work, and at all times you receive from life what you sow into it; if you don't like what life is giving you, learn to ask for something else.

Student Talks: 1/6/2023 - Key Lesson: Nothing ends that something doesn't begin; nothing begins that something doesn't end. To know this as true is to no longer live in the fear of emptiness, let alone to covet the feeling of "fulness"... As neither of these psychological states, including the false sense of self (unconsciously) derived from them, exists without the temporary conditions that create the illusion of their reality.

Student Talks: 8/26/2022 - Key Lesson: To see all that I am... is to be all that I am; and when, at last, I am willing to see -- and to be all that I am -- there no longer remains any separate, isolated, lingering sense of self struggling to be, or not to be.

Student Talks: 1/7/2022 - Key Lesson: Much as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so it holds true: our experience of any given moment -- for its light or darkness -- its joy or sorrow -- is cast in the image of the consciousness momentarily awakened to reflect upon itself.
