In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how true fearlessness is intimately connected to our sincere wish to ceaselessly discover more and more about God's life.

Topics Covered: Transform problems into powers; Rush of thoughts and feelings; The real nature of any crisis; You go on without me; Awareness of consciousness instead of being the unconscious instrument of it; Control is an illusion; Who you are doesn't need control over anything; Use negative reactions to discover something about the consciousness....

We affirm the Truth -- not by professing its powers on sunny days, but in our willingness to walk by its Light -- even in the midst of those darkest storms where all we can see by this Light is just how powerless we are.

Learning to make use of everything that we are given in life is the sure way to discover that nothing exists that is useless, including our own dark states. We must learn to use all that we are if our hope is to realize that we have been given all by God.
