It isn't something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are "marked" with a certain strange feature: and that is...we want to change. Perhaps you're thinking: "What's so strange about that?" After all, who amongst us isn't familiar with this ever-present longing (of ours)? Granted, taken by itself, this desire doesn't seem so strange; that is, until we realize the obvious: we a...
Once we awaken to see that each of our lives is an integral part of an eternal turning point, and that nothing changes in this great Life without changing everything within it, then we can let go of trying to change ourselves and simply take our natural place, participating in the power of the Life Awakened. This principle is critical to us if we want to understand how we find a life greater...
The reason why the search for the “Truth” of oneself is called “pathless”... is because it’s not taken in steps, let alone in any known direction; rather, the “journey” to authentic self-liberation is found...
ED: Hello. I'm Dr. Ellen Dickstein. Welcome to a Fireside Chat with bestselling inner-life author, Guy Finley. Today I thought we would talk about happiness. We all spend probably 99.9% of our time and energy doing things that we think will make us happy. Yet, judging by the way most people walk around, and by the state of the world, we're not doing a very good job of it. Guy, where are we goi...
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.

Watch this short excerpt by Guy Finley in which he tells two poignant stories that illustrate our deepest wish to know our purpose in Life and answer the ultimate question, "What am I doing on this planet?"
If you feel at the mercy of every event – the economy, the weather, others’ disapproving faces – then the information in this booklet will help put you in charge. It will put you in charge of yourself, and remarkably, as you will soon discover, that is the only command you need. As always, Guy presents this heavenly message in a down-to-earth form you can put to practical use immediately.
Most find it hard to consider objective teachings concerning the reality of higher kingdoms; those invisible, interior mansions that reside no farther away than our realization of them; because even the faintest light of such a possibility; suddenly reflected upon the mirror of our soul; disturbs the dust that has slowly gathered there.This stirring of Light remind...
The realization that there are parts of us that are against us can hit us with a jolt. But when we see that these wrong parts have actually created the pains that they then falsely promise to free us of, we eagerly seek -- and find -- the real Friend who will bring all pains to an end.
No one really wants to talk about it, but the truth is, there is a kind of "evil spell" hanging over each of us and our world as well. In fact, part of this global spell is our denial of its existence. It is called suffering. Everyone does it -- and, like hypnotized captives, everyone believes that their suffering somehow benefits them. That's how the spell works. Why else would anyone punish...
All of our life experiences have been trying to teach us a certain grand lesson: Liberation from our captive condition (whatever that may be in the moment) cannot come by further deliberating it. We can see the wisdom in doing nothing toward our own troubled thoughts and feelings when we realize that the only way not to be dragged under by these negative states is to stay...
We're not meant to see life through our thinking. We don't need to think about what is. In fact, why do I need to tell myself what just happened? Wasn't I there? Are you jumpy? The minute that a shadow approaches, we can't see what it is, but we think something is coming based in fear, and we dive for cover! What would it be like to never have to wonder or worry about whether or not...
