Whenever we "collide" with life, parts of us we've never seen before are illuminated. It is the light of new and higher self-awareness that is our real friend in such unwanted moments.

A true human being is a "feeling" human being, not a "thinking" human being. Real life is an impersonal, complete feeling. We live in a stream of divine energy, and there is a difference between trying to be alive through thinking -- which produces the sensation of life -- and knowing that you are alive.

The untold great spiritual secret concerning self-transformation is that we grow in proportion to our awareness of what we can no longer be.

Guy Finley explains the key to being able to discern the true inner guide from a false one.

Use their insights to awaken the higher understanding that allows you to transcend the level of self that gives rise to your pain. *** We are created with the tools it takes to master our own lives. But self-mastery remains the ultimate mystery until that day dawns when -- weary of struggling to overcome what we blame...

Guy Finley explains that being able to discern a true inner guide from a false one begins with understanding that any moment that disturbs us is actually intended to be a moment of illumination. Our first task in these moments is not to take action, but to work to be still and see the whole of the moment in a new way. The true guide is always a healing force, while the false guide is a conceal...

Any human being who has to hold himself together is someone who is ready to fall apart. Trying to hold yourself together is a terrible way to go through life. Our task is to prove this to ourselves. The fears of falling apart can never be quieted by adding more pieces to your self, such as success or the hopes of success. With this approach to life, you wear out faster, because you now have ev...
