In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how we are not meant to be held captive by thoughts and feelings that do nothing but repeat themselves over and over again.

The only thing we "add" to life by our resistance to it is the weight of a self-induced suffering born of needless worry.

Topics covered: Spiritually speaking, only the "dead" try to prove that they are alive. The real gift of life is to know that you have been given a life; The consciousness that frames your experience, describing and interpreting every event, blocks you from being aware of that consciousness itself; A negative reaction to an unwanted moment always tempts you with a fight or flight response...

The belief that bad behavior on the part of someone else requires that you become negative towards him or her is like thinking that every time it starts to rain, the only choice you have is to find a mud puddle and jump into it!...

Resistance, revelation, and transformation: all are mutually dependent. Which means... not one of these states of consciousness exists without all of the others.

In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about how there is no chance for anything to change for the better as long as we shut our eyes to events that run counter to what our minds say should be happening.
