Topics covered:   You do not really understand something until you understand it with all parts of yourself. The intellect alone can only go so far, and can in fact hinder understanding; The New Testament story of Christ being tempted is the story of yourself. It is a teaching story that is your story; The last thing that we want to know is that we have no power of our own, and that all power belongs to, and comes from, what is higher than ourselves.

All our relationships, particularly with those we love, exist for a single beautiful purpose that expresses itself in two different ways. Our partner -- whatever role they play in our life is there to help us grow; to provide just the conditions we need to become the better, truer person that both of us know we're meant to be. But the other, and equally important half of this same higher pur...

In this short video, bestselling "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about the importance of continuing to do your interior work, especially in those moments when it seems that nothing in you wants to do it.

In this life we are only given two things that are purely our own to use: attention and time. Sadly, most of us squander our gifts of time and attention.
