Classroom Talk: 10/10/2021 - Time is a wrinkle in the mind: and much as the silent reflection of a cloud-filled sky can't be seen upon the wind-tossed waters of a mountain lake, neither can the reflection of Heaven be seen in a mind churning with thought.
The door to the limitless life opens for us only as wide as we are willing to love being made aware of our present limitations.
Topics covered: "Two words that often go before us in any painful moment are "I want."; There is a direct relationship between your experience of the moment, and what it is that you are giving your attention to; We are identified with the very condition that we are trying to escape, which creates the very experience that we don't want."
In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how it is possible for us to discover an authentically new life if we will persist with our wish to know the truth of ourselves.
Student Talks: 2/28/2025 - The vast majority of humanity views the idea of spiritual rebirth as some sort of prize to be claimed and declared: a new and exciting personal possession, like having won a tropical island in a high-stakes lottery. But true rebirth is nothing of the kind; (it is) a distinct awareness within oneself of a timeless and intelligent awareness -- a fearless and abiding patience, burgeoning with expectation -- that is "in the world (of passing time), but not of it."
Yours is the power to put the fear of the future behind you, but only as you are willing to see that unless you do the interior work to awaken now...your past awaits you just ahead.
Guy Finley explains that a real prayer formulates naturally within spiritual aspirants once they clearly see the fact of their own nature, and realize the necessity for genuine higher help.
Topics covered: The only thing we know to do in unwanted moments is to reject them, and then listen for guidance from the part of us that responds in that way; In a disturbing moment, the resistance that comes up -- the onset of it -- is not yours; How many times are you going to struggle with fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and every other negative state?
Classroom Talk: 8/16/2002 - It is never the unwanted condition itself that has us stuck, but that we are unknowingly hung up in habitual thoughts and feelings about our situation. To be New we must learn to see ourselves from that part of us that knows who we really are, our True Nature, was not created to be a captive of anything!
Student Talks: 9/27/2024 - Key Lesson: You are a creation of the Deep; drawn to explore not just an unknowable mystery, but to take an unimaginable journey into the depths of an unnameable Being...and all without having to take a single step outside of yourself.
