In this life, we have one of two choices when it comes to painful events, past or present. We can either go on hating and fearing what we think life has done to us (or others), and let these negative reactions create our experience for us... or we can learn to use these same dark reactions to free ourselves from them. But just wanting to learn the truth isn't enough...

In this response to a viewer's question, Guy talks about how mere intellectual knowledge of spiritual principles is not the same as acting on and applying those same principles in the midst of your own life.

Student Talks: 9/25/2020 - Key Lesson: True spiritual healing is never the result of an "achievement" one celebrates as such; it's always a very personal, and often painful moment of consciously realizing the extent of one's weakness. Yet, paradoxically, in the ensuing humility is a victory, but not our own; for now...

Topics Covered: There is so much blame and conflict in the world because hardly anyone understands their pain; When physical pain comes, what is it there for?
