Guy Finley explains in this brief talk that the wish to run away from psychological pain prevents us from being the true explorers of our lives that we are meant to be.

Guy Finley talks about the nature within us that seeks to condemn us even as it excuses what "it" has done. Whenever we are able to observe these two opposites simultaneously, a third force is awakened. This third force, which is higher awareness, holds the opposites and is perfect reconciliation.

Guy Finley talks about how we have a nature within us that is constantly in motion, but yet never actually goes anywhere because all it can do is move from one incomplete idea to another.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how we must always make an effort to be awake so that we can begin using life's currents and waves for our own interior growth.

When it comes to fear, anxiety or any other kind of negative state, we can learn to observe and bear the state that is being revealed so that a new understanding of the moment can begin to dawn within us.

Guy Finley talks about how to discern the difference between thought that is practical and useful, versus thought that is unconscious and hurtful.

We don't usually think to ourselves that we're asleep and that our entire identity is the moment to moment fabrication of what we are reacting to in that instant. Until there is something that rides the waves of these reactions and sees them crest and fall, we will appear and disappear with every last wave. In watching the waves we will not mistake ourselves for being the waves.

Most of us like sitting by a river and watching the water or anything else come downstream and then disappear in the distance. When watching a river, we don't usually focus on one thing in the stream and then resist it as it floats by. We are intended to be the observer of the stream of our interior life in much the same way that we would enjoy watching a river.

Classroom Talk: 7/7/2021 - Seeing the Truth of ourselves -- the first requirement of being set free -- begins with our willingness to be -- as completely as possible -- the whole of that experience even when we'd rather be doing anything else!

Classroom Talk: 2/3/2021 - Refuse to weigh yourself by the values of this world, including what IT calls out as good, necessary, or true for you! Rather, weigh-in against the whole notion that your True Self can be measured by anyone, including yourself.
