Wholeness / Oneness

You break free of unhappy thoughts and emotions by seeing that, even though it may feel that way at the moment, you are not owned by them.

In this short talk, Guy Finley eloquently lays out the beauty and the different expressions of the thirst for truth, which thirst must be an authentic one, and how it can only be quenched at a place where a real source of truth exists.

If your choices so far have left you feeling dissatisfied and incomplete, you must stop blaming your selections and see that the problem lies with the chooser -- you!...

Guy talks about how it can actually be unhealthy to discuss the concept of "being one with God" because, most of the time, we get lost in imagination when we consider the idea. There is genuine "oneness with the Divine" only when, through moment-to-moment self-seeing and work on ourselves, we become the authentic expression of that which never stops giving life.

In this podcast, Guy Finley talks about what it takes to outgrow the part of ourselves that loves only itself.

The experience of every moment of our life is a direct reflection of our nature. Life really is a special kind of journey that each and every day can present new vistas to our eager perception. Instead, we live in an unhappy world created by our misperception.

We go through our lives in a continual dance of being filled with something that needs an answer, and then going out and finding that answer... only to find out that our answer wasn't quite the answer. Then, as we bring to ourselves whatever we thought we needed, it changes. Or, as we actually see that it doesn't fulfill us, then the thing inside of us that wants this answer changes. Slowly b...

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how a true change of character can be realized by seeing with great clarity what it is that we value most.

Much of our time in this life is spent waiting for something to happen. There are times when waiting is inescapable -- waiting in traffic, waiting in line at the grocery store, waiting for an appointment -- but we can be attending to a higher world while we are waiting in this one. We are intended to know what it means to wait within ourselves even as we are waiting in the exterior world. Wai...

Most of the time we are not aware of the fullness of real life because we are too busy trying to fill ourselves with what we think we need to be happy. We are not intended to supply ourselves with a self-created happiness. In fact, our frantic search for happiness perpetuates the nagging feeling of discontent. Instead of looking outside of ourselves for fulfillment in a time to come, we need t...

The "healing" we need, the sense of wholeness for which we search, has nothing to do with adding anything to ourselves.

Much like the strings of a piano that vibrate when its keys are struck, the events that we experience in our lives produce within us a natural resonance that is a kind of music. And yet there is an unpleasant interior disharmony whenever we resist events. Resistance to events that we say we do not want prevents us from seeing reality as it is. Resistance to unwanted circumstances perpetuates t...
