There is one essential ingredient missing in most of our relationships -- one that is definitely required if we wish to continue in our own development and help others to do the same. What is this powerful catalyst that only we can provide for each other? Room in which to grow. We can help others reach higher by simply agreeing, consciously, to give them space to go through their changes ev...

The real reason why the "wheels keep coming off" during our ride through life is because God wants to show us our need for a whole new vehicle, one that will be given to us providing we let go and agree to let it be so.

Classroom Talk: 7/1/2020 - Most of our fears are based in a false belief that life can throw something at us greater than our ability to rise above it, or whatever frightens us about it. But this mistaken perception is as false as are the limitations it imposes on us. Our True Self never fears unforeseen changes in life any more than the sun...

The truth is that letting go is very simple and, above all, natural; as natural for you and I as it is for a tree to shed the heavy, sun-ripened fruit that clings to its branches. Why? Because both man and tree, in fact all living things, are created to drop what is no longer needed. For the tree, the falling fruit carries its matured seed to the ground. No unnatural force is necessary. In a similar fashion -- that is to say, under higher but equally exacting laws...

What is sacrifice? Letting Go Author Guy Finley gives a new perspective on the idea of conscious sacrifice. Real sacrifice isn't having to make the difficult choice to let something go, but choosing instead to let go of my identification with it. As my understanding of "what is sacrifice" grows, I see what I'm really giving up is a fearful self, which makes it the perfect sacrifice.

The answer as to what is the best use of one's life is found in being present enough to oneself to detect and reject all of those useless thoughts and feelings that undermine our higher possibilities. Only then do we realize that letting go of these limitations is the same as serving our own highest interests, for our greatest potential is to be free!...

Author Guy Finley and Dr. Ellen Dickstein, PhD., discuss how to turn the tables on stress and anxiety by discovering a whole new way to reconcile self-wrecking negative states. Learn to use troubling thoughts and feelings by transforming their energy into new and positive powers.

Nothing is more discontented than our lower nature, the false self. It is always unhappy with one thing or another. If there is one weed in a field of roses, you can bet that is what it will see. Since it has no real life of its own, it must endlessly create stimulating thoughts and feelings of one kind or another in order to give it the sensations of being alive. Like Sisyphus, the king of an...

Classroom Talk: 2/26/2023 - Thought is a stoppage; it is an impediment in the celestial circulation of new impressions created to refresh the consciousness in which they appear.

The painful experience we have to any unwanted moment is inseparable from being momentarily identified with our own negative reaction to it; which means -- all said and done -- that what we're actually suffering from, and uselessly struggling against in these moments -- is ourselves.

Looking to any negative reaction to release you from the pain you're in, is like jumping on a merry-go-round to help you forget how dizzy you feel.
