    The next time that you find yourself in a stew, regardless of how practical it seems, just quietly note and ask yourself, why is there negativity involved in a practical decision? What does negativity have to do with what I need to do? If you just ask yourself that question, you'll start to see that there is always something at the bottom of what it calls practical that's pushing you to get something reconciled in your life.

    Self-realization author Guy Finley talks about how the unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat. The unattended mind always goes into thought, hoping to reconcile the disturbance that thought created in the first place. Observing this dynamic as it takes place in the mind is how we rise above everything that has defeated us in the past.

    Stop overthinking and start seeing! In this helpful Q&A with Guy Finley he addresses the question of why we need to stop overthinking about how to solve the problems in our life and instead use disturbances to see the real problem, which is that we're addicted to thinking about ourselves.

    Imagine for a moment you're driving home from work, or wherever, and that you've just come from having a pretty rough day. As you drive along, your eyes see the road before you, but your mind is in the past. It's very busy re-running all of the day's unpleasant events.

    In this answer to a viewer's question, self-realization author Guy Finley talks about how our own questions about what to do about the anxiety we feel actually perpetuates the very anxiety that we want to get rid of.

    In the highest parts of our consciousness, there is a living relationship whose meaning is inseparable from the world that it sees and experiences. There is no need to "take thought" in order to know that we are alive. To think for ourselves properly means to be aware of our reactions to the world, and to not allow those reactions to run wild on their own...

    How much time and energy and breath would we save if we were aware of the part of us that wants to speak before it starts speaking? Much of the talking that we do is brought about by an unconscious nature that compels us to speak so that it can experience more of itself. By observing ourselves we can catch the anxious part of us that demands we say something in order to relieve the pressure.

    Wanting to be free of anything because it troubles you is a form of ambition, because the assumption behind the ambition is that I have the power and the authority to shut this down. And you have neither power nor authority - what you have is a small gift from God that will allow you to see what ambition does to tear apart your soul.

    The touch of God often comes in the form of a disturbance, which is meant to bring us into presence where we can be a part of real life and change. But if you hear these three words you'll know that you've been handed off to negativity instead, where real change is impossible!

    The divine expresses its infinite being in every creature he makes. If I can see that expression and attend to it, I am then the conscious reflection of that creation. I know an aspect not just of myself in that moment, but of the divine itself. And in this way I become self-realized.

    When you start to understand that there is a nature within that has no interest in "doing the good" then a real and right struggle begins within you, and now instead of hating yourself for your weakness, you know what your work is.
