I often feel lazy when it comes to studies. This wasn't the case when I was a student, rather the opposite was true. I used to be the top of my class. But, after graduating I no more feel the urge to study as before. Moreover I am becoming involved in playing videogames or watching movies. I know I have to study for higher exams, but when I sit to study, various forces or voices compel me to p...

Topics Covered:The consciousness that sees everything as being outside of itself cannot be kind and it does not know anything about love; There does exist a higher order of love that has nothing in common with the world's definition of love; Real love does not have anything to do with being tolerant, and it has nothing to do with pretense or compulsion.

Question: I have been having a bad problem with losing my love and ambition for listening and making music. Music is discipline and I have dedicated most of my life to it, but recently I have seen my ambition for it -from practicing my instrument to enjoyment of listening it - go to zero.

Guy Finley talks about what real love is and what it isn't, and explains that it is impossible for you to genuinely love another person if you cannot first be completely content and comfortable with being alone.

Classroom Talk: 3/16/2003 - If we could only remember in those unwanted moments -- when we see where we have been wrong in life -- that this vision is granted us because we have just been visited by some New Light by which to see and know ourselves more truly, then one day we might come to welcome what now seems so unwanted.

At times it seems to me that the more I realize about the awesome nature of spiritual love, the more loneliness I feel in my current human relationships. I long to share my discoveries with others, but who do I turn to? A certain kind of loneliness, of feeling ourselves all alone, is a necessary portion of the path to the higher life.

Student Talks: 12/29/2023 - Key Lesson: Blessed are those who do (what they do)... for the love of being a part of what they love; but few are those who know this Divine order of love, let alone what it's like to have Love itself as their life partner.

It always amazes me on sun-bright mornings such as this one how I could have ever forgotten just how much beauty hides in a winter day. The ground is covered in rich brown tones borrowed from curling leaves. Here and there pop up patches of fall-parched grasses just greening, reborn from early rains. And, more than anything else, the stark trees of winter stand like nature's exclamation points...

Spiritually speaking – as a required agreement essential in facilitating one’s rebirth – one must learn how to be at peace with (consciously) suffering the presence of a false sense of self that can never know the peace it seeks.

When all is said and done, what matters is not whether or not the world loves us, or approves of us; what matters is what we love, for that is what determines the true and final course of our lives.
