In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about how children learn more from us because of who we are, from the communication of our actual nature, than from anything that we say.

In this answer to a viewer's question, Guy talks about how we cannot hope to help other people until we ourselves become a living example of what we expect from others.

In this short video, Guy explains that the genuine love of something does not concern itself with ambitious achievements, but is instead a calling to learn about ourselves and gain self-knowledge through what we love.

If by interfering tactics you mean, "make someone s...

**As a result of my deepening interest in truthful ideas, quite a few of my friends feel I have gone off the deep end, and I have noticed a growing separation between us as I work more and more for my own spiritual freedom. It is not that I don't care for them, but rather I am becoming less concerned about the things that have always driven all of us. My fear is they will eventually want to ha...

Dare to put aside all relationships other than those which serve to reveal what is essential to your real desire.

Be willing to do without what you must if you see certain things that tell you that what you are embracing is destroying everything, including your chance to be a true human being.
