We who would know a measure of Christ's life – who wish to both witness, and be a conscious instrument of (that) perfect love – must agree to see, and then realize an unseen contradiction in us that first defines, and then confines us to what is a death-bound lower level of being. On one hand – especially in public, and always silently self-pleasing...
In this podcast, Guy Finley talks about how true fulfillment is connected to using our life for the purpose that it was given to us.
Hatred, violence, finger-pointing, and just plain suffering seem rampant these days, with religious belief systems often at the core. Wouldn't a true Christian or a true Muslim, or any other believer in God for that matter, be less self-serving and more kind and compassionate towards others, with the highest prayer being for the good of all?

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of April 9, 2018. Until our wish is to be present and responsive to the real needs of friends, family, and even strangers -- more than we want to be seen as important in their eyes, we serve no one... not even ourselves.
Student Talks: 04/25/2025 - The life and death of the Christ did not happen two-thousand years ago, any more than the rising and setting of the sun belongs to a particular place and time. Seen, or not, the life of Christ is always now…as is His sacrifice for the sake of the continuing perfection of the human Soul.
Classroom Talk: 12/25/2002 - Only what awakens us to our own immortality truly profits us. All else serves only to gently rock us into a fitful sleep in the stream of passing time.
The only one way that any of us will ever know the real meaning of Christ's life is to share in His death. This means that we must give up what this man gave up if we want to know from ourselves what was gained through His deliberate sacrifice. If we want to know the truth behind Christ's act, then we must stop thinking about it and get down to the business of actually doing it ourselves. It...
Classroom Talk: 12/12/2003 - Some come upon the truth of things only once they've run aground on the reefs of remorse; others long for anchorage in what endures only after the winds of fortune slack off, leaving their sails full of emptiness.

Topics covered: What you call "your love" is sustained only as long as conditions seem to support that love. As soon as conditions change, what you called "love" is replaced with disdain, anxiety, fear, resentment, and hate; Take the fragments of Truth that you hear into your heart, and that Truth will lead you to the next Truth; When you dwell on an image, even an image of the Divine, you are without knowing it dwelling on the love of yourself.
