In this short talk Guy describes how much of our vital life energy is presently wasted without our awareness of it because we are often captured by a certain level of desire and are either pushed or pulled along through life. We then use more energy than is necessary for many of the things we do...

Classroom Talk: 8/10/2003 - The only one who never loses sight of his True Nature, who never becomes a captive of negative states, is that fortunate person who never forgets this one great truth: Even though nothing we look upon in this world belongs to us, everything about our life is a gift.

In this short talk Guy identifies that the primary cause of flights of fantasy are to produce a hero or a zero. We unknowingly seek the familiar sensations the these flights produce. But awareness is not a sensation...

Classroom Talk: 3/16/2003 - If we could only remember in those unwanted moments -- when we see where we have been wrong in life -- that this vision is granted us because we have just been visited by some New Light by which to see and know ourselves more truly, then one day we might come to welcome what now seems so unwanted. What does it take to welcome every moment of one's life? Love the Light! 

If anxious thoughts and feelings had any power to help us reach some place in life where, finally, we would be released from the pain of always feeling rushed then . . . don't you think we'd have reached there by now!...

There is a corrupting kind of complacency that lives inside almost all human beings. Although being complacent may seem like the easy way, along with the seeming comfort that comes with complacency also comes the loss of a person's possibilities.

Arrogance, fear, in fact all dark negative states only rule and stain our lives as they do because of how distanced we've become from the immense and divine mystery of our own True Nature.

Topics covered: No feeling, no sense of self; You don't change the whole -- being whole IS the change; The end and the beginning are connected; Your mind is clouded; You only feel pain when an illusion you had has been shattered; Right pride has gratitude in it, false pride has glorification in it; A true shock obliterates our explanations and justifications; The idea of 'I' has become a psych...

When events do not go according to our expectations, we often light ourselves on fire with anger, blaming life for not having fulfilled our expectations. Then the mind will say, "That's it. I have figured it out. I will live the rest of my life without any expectations." But this one-sided mind does not see that thought as being an expectation in itself. Setting the expectation to have no fut...

What matters most in any given unwanted moment of life is what we make of it -- and not what we fearfully imagine is being made of us in that moment.

Anxious thoughts and feelings are powerless to restore order to anything. The fact that these tormenting and secretly limiting states can seem to be even remotely helpful...proves just how out of order our lives have become!...
