Topics covered: There is an inner alchemical possibility, where what was once useless -- the lead of unconscious reactions -- can be transformed into something useful -- the gold of self-awareness; Life is relationship; self is awareness of that relationship; Everything that is passive naturally resists everything that acts upon it. Active and passive forces are complimentary. In nature a new conception comes out of the intersection of these forces.
Brooding, resenting, regretting...all are forms of unconscious suffering, and serve to strengthen the false notion that the negative state is a product of the condition, instead of a reflection of one's consciousness. To suffer consciously is to act in a whole new way where one chooses to be consciously passive to states that are (actively) blaming or judging; instead of being the instrument...
Topics covered: "Perfect freedom belongs to a nature that nothing can touch, therefore it has no fear of being tied down; Your mind as it is lives in a constant state of imagination; The same nature that lives in hell creates a heaven for itself.

If there's grief, let there be grief; if there's regret or some kind of doubt, let that be as it is...
The only thing that we suffer from at any moment is what we have yet to understand about ourselves. We suffer the way we presently do because we live in a small world, and our actions and decisions are based solely on the context of the information available in that world. We think we are always right because we act according to the limited thoughts and feelings that are given to us in this sm...
Guy explains the interior meaning of the expression "familiarity breeds contempt," which has to do with a nature that only knows itself by revisiting the past. The more that it dwells on the past, the more dissatisfaction grows, and the less able we are to keep from falling into a pit.
