Spiritual Power

In this excerpt from an hour-long seminar, Life of Learning Foundation founder and director Guy Finley explains that we must work to harness the energy of negative forces instead of allowing those forces harness us. The full replay of this class is available in Life of Learning Foundation's online community, GuyFinleyNow.org, where you can join other true spiritual aspirants from around the w...

We do not need to think in order to know the right thing to do in the moment for ourselves, or for others! In fact, quite the opposite is true. The amazing possibilities that appear with each present moment are literally beyond thought. After all, the best moments in our lives -- those priceless times when we feel most alive -- unfold without our taking a single thought about them. That unfor...

What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life. The treasure of our heart both measures and determines our wealth, or our inner poverty. But not everything we love in life loves us back. Not everything we serve serves us as we imagine. Only the Divine, the light of Truth, never fails us... never. There's only one reason why we ever find ourselves confused, depressed, angry with s...

Best-selling "letting go" author Guy Finley explains how psychological fear is always connected to the idea that something of value can be taken from us. But who we really are cannot be hurt.

Depending on others for a sense of independent psychological well-being is an accident waiting to happen. In any relationship where one depends on his or her partner to be their parachute and the other accepts this role, both will fall to the ground.

As we work and root out what is untrue, it becomes easier and easier to instantly taste the truth of anything (or anyone) we encounter.

Each of us grows physically without any real inner struggle on our part. Our bodies mature; we learn to tie our shoes, and dance, and do gymnastics. Social skills develop naturally. We grow in our mental abilities as well: we learn a new language, expand our knowledge to grasp a scientific theory, or learn a set of mathematical axioms. This, too, is natural. However, inwardly, emotionally for...

What we put first, the choices we make in life are a direct reflection of what we value. What this means is that our experience of life -- for its pain or pleasure, darkness or brightness -- is a perfect reflection of what we want most in that same moment. Prove this truth to yourself, and you will put yourself on the road to putting truth before all else. We all have to drive places... work,...

You break free of unhappy thoughts and emotions by seeing that, even though it may feel that way at the moment, you are not owned by them.

If anxious thoughts and feelings had any power to help us reach some place in life where, finally, we'd be released from the pain of always feeling rushed... don't you think we'd have reached there by now!...
