Wisdom

In this question and answer exchange with an online viewer, "letting go" author Guy Finley answers the following question: Could you please comment about the relationship between human condition and divine order in us?

Everything we need to know about "what to do" is always right here with us. But the mind that is always trying to escape the moment that is being revealed believes that it must think of something to do in order to get through the moment. There is no problem in the present moment. There is only a mind that creates a problem because it doesn't understand the moment...

Even if we have a good understanding of spiritual principles, the thought is not the heavenly principle itself. Whatever we are feeling in any given moment is a reflection of a principle that we can be in relationship with.

Classroom Talk: 11/3/2021 - Part 1: Every wise saying that stirs the heart, or helps illuminate the mind, is a kind of Divine seed: each speaks in its own tongue of some timeless chapter and verse, but always hinting of -- and silently pointing to -- the Book of Truth from which it has come. Part 2: Wisdom never gets old because its true nature is timeless; knowledge is...

Classroom Talk: 4/21/2021 - Part 1: Every moment spent in the love of wisdom, accompanied by our wish to keep its company regardless the cost, helps us build an unseen but eternal bridge between the deepest and highest parts of ourselves. Part 2: The importance of working to develop our attention is found in the appearance of a new kind...

Classroom Talk: 2/17/2021 - In the end, the only thing we can truly be in charge of… is ourself. And yet, as paradoxical it seems, the cost of true self-command is the same as the conscious surrender of self.

Classroom Talk: 11/4/2020 - Learn to be still and listen: the less you have to say about life, the more Life will speak to you, and start telling you things that ears can't hear, showing you things the eyes can't see, and taking you new places beyond anything you can imagine.
