In this question and answer session, Guy talks about how we must stop relying on intellectual concepts and instead start doing the actual work of seeing ourselves as we are.

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? It is there to alert us to the fact that there is a disruption in our normal level of health; The 'I' that appears and reacts to the moment of the registration of the pain is not the same 'I' that is going to bring about the healing...

Yet, paradoxically, in the ensuing humility is a victory, but not our own; for now, we have gleaned a little understanding...

Student Talks: 2/8/2019 - Key Lesson: The degree to which we judge others, and would make them pay for their shortcomings is inseparable from the false belief that our nature is somehow different, superior to those as seen through the eyes of (our) disdain. In truth -- save for the rarest action of a pre-paid grace...

Since what others may do to us is not in our power to change, we need only concern ourselves with what we do to ourselves, for this is in our power.

Seldom do we know a greater need for making a fresh start than in those mind-numbing moments when we find ourselves feeling thrown for a loss. These feelings of loss often leave an unconscious, invisible residue of fear which tends to taint every area of our lives with distasteful timidity, born of the neurotic suspicion that in some way, life is conspiring to take something away from us.
