Feeling sorry for yourself is not an action...anymore than reliving some old regret has the power to change your present nature. Struggle with yourself; reaching takes disturbing the one who rests; yet, as surely as a seedling breaks out of her earthly tomb, so will you realize the world above you...once you commit to do the interior work needed to attain it.

Learning what it means to step back from our own reactions is the same as learning to walk past those parts of us that want us to believe our only choices are restricted to the contents of these reactions.

Topic: How to Wake Up and Walk Out of Whatever Troubles You (1/5/22 Classroom Talk)

Nothing can be released and resisted at the same time, which means that any attempt to reject some weakness detected in us is the same as protecting it.

Guy Finley's monthly call-in radio show 'Guy Finley LIVE!' broadcast on HealthyLife.net. Topics covered: Making time to pay attention to what is true in the middle of daily demands; Looking for happiness, wholeness, a sense of peace without knowing what you're looking for; Inside of us lives another order of being that is already complete; We are creations with a purpose beyond imagination; Th...

You must have moments where you see there's no love in you at all. Why? So that you can understand you don't know what real love is.

For every impulse, each movement in the expanding heavens, there is a gravity equal to it; for each light, each bit of love, there is a darkness, a resentment or regret. Our place, if we accept it, is to always be present to the possibility of empowering what is light and bright, loving and good...or we allow what is diminishing, denigrating, and bad to win the day.

The genuine spiritual path has nothing to do with certainty; We strengthen the grip of fear every time we look outside of ourselves to find a sense of security; Certainty of the pressurized kind is the past trying to insert itself into the present moment; If we are in fear and conflict without knowing it...

Anytime we get a glimpse of the fact that we've made a mess of things in our lives, something in us quickly jumps in to cover it up and pretend that everything is fine. It is only when we no longer avoid seeing the fact of our situation and can finally admit "I don't like what I've made" that an atonement can take place.

Letting go is the journey and it never ends. Never. It only begins -- over and over again -- each time we can glimpse something higher than our own painful certainty over who we think we are. So it is here, within ourselves, that the work of letting go must be done. To fully see what is unwanted by us begins with revealing what is unknown...
