Watchfulness

This world of ours, and all that transpires here, is a school for our spiritual education. Like any institution of higher learning, it has teachers, lessons, and many levels of learning; all serve to make possible the revelation and eventual realization of a timeless love that both creates and maintains the cosmos themselves. Our heartaches -- whatever their nature -- are heralds of this high...

We are meant to become an observer of ourselves, watchful of both the content -- and the intent -- of everything arising from our own mind and heart.

It's a little-known secret that our experience of life in any given moment is a direct reflection of what we actually value in that same moment.

Guy explains what it means to "practice the presence" and sustain a relationship with a higher part of ourselves in the present moment. It starts with working to remain in our body, psychologically speaking, which allows our senses to keep us connected to the whole of life.

The fears of falling apart can never be quieted by adding more pieces to your self, such as success or the hopes of success. With this approach to life, you wear out faster, because you now have ev...

Everything we've tried to do to stop our mind, to be quiet, contradicts the wish we have because it is a form of resistance.

The real power behind faith is found in the Light within us that shows us what's true, and what's not, about who and what we are in reality.

Guy Finley explains that until we get tired of living from the negativity we've accepted in our lives we will continue to push away new possibilities. But just starting to doubt this false certainty of the inevitability of negativity is the first step out of this self-made prison.
