Wholeness / Oneness

In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley dives deeply into the concepts of "joy and happiness," noting the important distinction between imagined "joy" and the kind of joy that is the natural outcome of life's authentic wholeness. Imagined joy turns into painful resistance to anything that interferes with the image. Seeing this with more and more clarity is freedom from the stressful compulsion to pursue an imagined happiness.

Guy Finley talks about the unnecessary pain that is produced by a breakdown in communication, which is resolved by coming out of our mental dialogs and entering into a broader awareness that is instantaneous communication.

In this short talk, Guy Finley discusses the higher part of ourselves that is capable of observing the whole of all that happens in the stream of time, but yet is not identified with any one part of it.

In this brief clip, Guy Finley explains that "multitasking" is actually the expression of a form of greed, which has its root in fear.

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.

Question: A shift in consciousness is predicted and needed on our planet. What do you think this shift will be and what will it bring? Answer: First of all, it is not a global shift.

Part 2: In stillness, I see. In silence, I hear. Seeing and hearing in this way, I am instructed... And come to understand.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/14/16 - Part 1: Real-life is the ceaseless expression of converging celestial forces as altogether they manifest what "cries out" to be harmonized in creation by the (merciful and loving) will of the Creator.

Part 2: Most everything that we think we "see"... isn't as it appears to be; that's why "wait and watch" is the true path that leads to the summit of higher self-knowledge.

Nothing we blame for the pain of our anger, anxiety, or fear can ever change their real cause. The true source of our suffering -- individually and collectively -- is an unconscious nature that invents its own enemies, and then suffers in the futile attempt to conquer them... something it can never do, just as it's impossible for a shadow to overcome sunlight.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/14/15 - The fact that we can't see how, too often, we follow a part of ourselves that is blind -- as evidenced by the eventual pain of having to pay for its missteps -- proves that this 'I' -- this part of us must surely be as blind as our guide, or else we would be able to see the blindness of this "self" in whose footsteps we have placed our trust!

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/24/16 - The real victory in life, the only one that lasts beyond passing time and changing circumstances, is awakening to the realization of another order of being -- already within your Self that neither time nor circumstance can ever take from you.

Classroom Talk: 3/27/2024 - New, true self-knowledge re-orders the world we see because, for one thing, the way we experience each moment of life is inseparable from how we understand it; so that just as a fractured mirror can only reflect back an image that seems shattered, so is it true that a divided mind can't see what is holy.
