My biggest fear at the moment is that I am incapable of ever experiencing True spirituality. My mind will never be quiet. I have no patience, and I'm attracted to everything that "glitters"! And yet, in spite of these conditions that hold me captive, I wish for a more spiritual life. Where do I begin?...

In this short talk Guy exposes a basic misunderstanding about the spiritual path. Everything about the spiritual life is supposed to be simple but we want to complicate it. This happens when we refuse to let go of our pain in any moment and instead unconsciously hold on...

Working to be more inwardly observant of myself has brought about invaluable changes in all areas of my life. However, just recently, I feel stuck in a comfort zone where I don't want to do the work of seeing more of myself. How do I get going again? I started out on this spiritual path of seeking self-knowledge with high hopes, but -- like everything else it seems -- the sizzle eventually fiz...

Why in the world am I so weak that I can't remember my good intentions? How will I ever succeed spiritually when this weakness keeps getting in the way of my making any real progress? When I manage to remember my higher aim in life, I seem to lose control of my life, and other people are quick to take advantage of what they evidently see as my weakness. Should this be happening or am I going a...

Almost every day I receive a letter, an e-mail, or phone call from an aspirant who wants to know, essentially, the following: "What must I do to succeed spiritually?" Or, in a slight variation on that theme: "What's the right way to do what I must in order to awaken?"

It seems as though there is always some kind of struggle going on in me -- pulling me in one direction or another -- and I get completely caught up in trying to choose which of the tormentors is best! How can I find a stillness or peace that would bring lasting relief from the daily struggle and stress that run my life?...

Guy explains the importance of a spiritual school amidst this world that pulls us in every direction as it convinces us that we're gathering what we need, when in reality we are scattering our possibilities.

Classroom Talk: 8/5/2020 - The wish and the work to be present -- to live in the Presence moment -- is the upper path. The "steps" alternate between complementary discoveries: first seeing within ourselves where and how we fall spiritually asleep... A discovery that, in turn, becomes both impetus and the power we need to wake up and to walk out of...

Topics covered: slacker, perfection, imperfection, spiritual practice, doing the work, spiritual exercises, 7 step attention exercise...

Outside of being a living example, what are the best ways to help children be awake and stay awake so they can avoid a lot of the traps that lull them into being less than true to themselves and keep them from drifting spiritually asleep? I try to teach them that love is not an affection you have for someone because of how they make you feel. I try to give them boundaries that are not based on...

I have a friend who is forever correcting me and admonishing me to begin the "arduous path" of spiritual enlightenment. Are we not supposed to enjoy life and have a fun and light spirit? Is my understanding of spiritual enlightenment correct in saying that people with this gift are generally kind hearted and speak kind words to one another and enjoy having fun in their experience of learning?...

Hi, Guy: I just stumbled upon your podcasts and have been listening to them all evening. They are totally in tune with my experiences and what I have learned. I recently lost my spiritual guide/confidant and am looking for a new one. I am a very sensitive singer/songwriter/gifted person whose career has climbed very fast lately. I can easily get off track if I don't have a spiritual guide I ca...
