In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley explains that you would not clash with life -- nor with yourself -- if you did not first cling to imagined ideas about peace and prosperity. Freedom from this conflict begins with witnessing the unfolding of this dynamic within yourself.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how we are not intended to manipulate or control everything that we see within ourselves. We are instead intended to watch and witness what is being revealed so that a higher kind of reconciling force can act upon what has been disturbed within us.

Classroom Talk: 3/16/2022 - The sense of any disturbance within us is the awareness of being touched by Life. The part of us that resists this unwanted sense of being "upset" by life is, in fact, powerless to restore the equilibrium it feels has been lost. In truth, all forms of painful resistance are the negative effect of an unconscious nature at war with life itself... as it blames life for disturbing its imagined peace.

Topics Covered: The root of the sleeping consciousness is separation itself; Something has to die for something to be born; The form passes away, but the creator of the form never dies; The responsibility is to be in your body aware of yourself; Don't give a voice what wants to find something to blame for the pain; Darkness is the absence of light, not the proof that light doesn't exist...

Classroom Talk: 8/28/2022 - Who is to be counted the most dangerous of all my enemies other than the one I see as being a "friend"... who is not.
