Student Q&A with Guy on "Take the First Step in Freeing Yourself from Painful Stress and Tension" (10/17/21)

  • Posted: Monday, October 18, 2021
  • Meeting: Sunday, October 17, 2021

  • Duration: 32min 50sec

Topics Covered
  • Conscience is the creator of any natural boundaries. Fear creates unnatural boundaries that are made to protect the consciousness that is afraid.
  • The habitual reaction to something that bothers us is either fight or flight.
  • We fight over what we want, and we take flight from what we don't want.
  • If other people don't want what we want, then there is conflict.
  • All the chattering in your mind boils down to what you want and what you don't want.
  • There is no judgment without "want" and "not want." Judgment IS "want" and "not want."
  • A "want" does not exist without a corresponding "not want," and vice versa. "Want" and "not want" are not separate. They belong to a single consciousness.
  • There are natural needs, wants and preferences, but it becomes unnatural and painful when your sense of self, your identity, depends upon getting what you want.
  • When you go into the moment with a want, you are creating a boundary to keep out what you don't want. "You cannot serve two masters, for you will love one and despise the other."
  • If you want to be a real human being, then you can't be the unknowing slave of want/don't want.
  • What is between want and not-want is what IS, which includes awareness of want/don't want.
  • The experience of our life moment to moment is our reaction to what we want and don't want.
  • The awareness of any condition in my consciousness -- that I was unaware of before -- changes my relationship to that consciousness.
  • The very desire for security as it is imagined creates the very conditions that you are seeking to avoid. Trying not to fall is falling.
  • Love is the end of separation. Love is the end of want/not want. Love reveals what is.
