GF: Welcome to our Fourth of July chat. All over the US today people are celebrating Independence Day. We will honor it too, only not with fireworks that sparkle for a few moments and then fizzle out. Tonight we will work to realize the true nature of Freedom and what it takes to not just ignite this Living Flame within us, but to have its Life become as our own. To this end, to help all of us...

GF: Welcome and good evening. Our chat will begin once I post these opening remarks on what each of us can do -- on a daily basis -- to develop more harmonious human relationships. Deep spiritual work reveals the truth that hellish things on earth manifest as they do because their dark cause dwells hidden somewhere in us. Tonight we look into this interior abyss and shine into its unseen corn...

GF: Good evening. I want to introduce some special ideas about what is required of us if we wish to spiritually transform our lives. First, to set the stage, a short question about human behavior: Have you ever noticed how -- whenever there is a secret going around among your close friends - you will do almost anything to learn its undisclosed nature? Or if you think someone knows something t...

GF: Welcome everyone to our chat tonight. We will get started right after I give you a few thoughts to ponder about the present nature and special predicament of our spiritual heart. Did you know that the distance from your heart to your toes is approximate in scale to the distance of our sun to the most distant planet in the solar system – so that our heart sits in a relative center to the w...

The fact that we always want something from the moment -- even if it's to not want what it offers or has otherwise come to reveal -- blinds us to the fact that every moment is always giving us... showering us... with the Light of a Life that wants for nothing.

GF: Welcome everyone. Tonight we discuss an essential spiritual force missing from our lives. When I'm done with these first comments, and those following the chat, we will have gathered ample evidence of the fact of this insight as well as ways to recover this crucial force we unknowingly give away. The power that we're missing is called patience. Real patience is not about waiting for one's...

GF: Hello and welcome everyone. Before we begin tonight, I would like to introduce into your minds a few special ideas that you will need should you wish to reclaim your Real Life. What is your "Real Life?" It is that True Life that is uncontaminated by fear, greed, hatreds, and the host of other negative states that punish most people on a daily basis. Last month we spoke of moving past pain...

GF: Welcome. Before we begin our dialogue, I would like to pass along a few empowering ideas about our inner work. Tonight we tackle undoing that inner darkness known as fear. We must not be afraid to learn the truth about our selves. Please notice I have deliberately separated the word "our" from its usual partner, "selves." Most of us would insist we have no such fear, but, for the most par...

Welcome and good evening. Our chat will begin once I post these opening remarks on the nature of spiritual battle, and what is required of us to overcome the darkness that has (so far) overcome us. The true spiritual battle occurs in the "dark" of us, a contest between the light of our wish to be better than the bitterness in us, or higher than some heartache or hatred dragging us down. Whate...

GF: Welcome to our chat tonight. Before we get going I would like to look at a certain psychological condition common to all seekers of Truth -- a pervasive and often punishing inner state we must either learn to use or end up being abused by it. I am speaking about being discontent -- its true nature, its purpose in existence, and our almost daily relationship with its onset in us. It is no...

Cammy (chat host): Hello everyone! It is so great to see you here tonight. We are excited to have with us as our guest speaker an amazing author and teacher, Guy Finley. Thank you, Guy, for being here with us this evening. GF: I'm delighted to share the evening with you and all of the friends online. Cammy: About a year ago, my friend Wendy shared an incredible book with me, "The Secret of L...

GF: Welcome everyone to our chat tonight. We will get started momentarily. As is the usual case, I would like to send along a few thoughts before we begin. If one day you banged your elbow and seven years later the same spot not only still ached, but radiating pains were appearing in your fingers and shoulder, you would know that something in your body's system was terribly amiss! You would k...
