Guy Finley's monthly call-in radio show, Guy Finley LIVE! Topics explored in this dialogue: What does it mean to reach for excellence in moments of disturbance and when I least feel like it; Excellence is a state of being, from which all things manifested come; We have a primal, archetypal urge to explore ourselves; Instead of trying to attain excellence we must live it; Our pain isn't caused...

Sadly for those deceived, and dangerous for the spiritually unwary they encounter, many humans have unknowingly abandoned themselves to dark spirits in exchange for the strong sense of self the presence of such negative energies provides as it courses through them. These souls who are taken over don't know their actual state as part of the "pleasure" in their condition is their certainty that...

Topics covered: Review of the new double attention exercise with self-remembering; An event is a form of light; Resistance is a form of similarity; This work is about getting your heart completely opened and aligned; Toxic people don't cause negativity, they reveal it; Light isn't afraid of the dark; Once you become interested in what disturbs you, you are close to being free of it; Everything...

We are wrongly led to believe that life makes us into the kind of person we are. In truth, it's our level of self-understanding that makes life what it is for us! This is why nothing can really change for us until we see the truth of the following: trying to change some condition in life, without first changing the consciousness responsible for its appearance is like... blaming the mirror for...

In my job I must deal daily with a couple of dozen emotionally dark co-workers. I can tolerate just so many of these kinds of people per day (as we all have to), but a couple of dozen is just too many for me to take. What can I do to handle this situation better besides getting another job? How can a person feel in charge of his own life one minute, and in the next minute find it in someone el...

It is impossible to change the relationship that you have with the world around you without changing the relationship that you have in yourself, with yourself. Before you can become the kind of human being who never again hurts another -- either in thought or deed -- you must change the relationship you have with yourself. This is the secret teaching of the ages. Inside of it, we learn about...

GF: Welcome. Before we begin our dialogue, I would like to pass along a few empowering ideas about our inner work. Tonight we tackle undoing that inner darkness known as fear. We must not be afraid to learn the truth about our selves. Please notice I have deliberately separated the word "our" from its usual partner, "selves." Most of us would insist we have no such fear, but, for the most par...

Our task, if we want to be free human beings -- if we want a life in which we no longer carry around with us "what he did," "what she didn't do," "what never worked out" -- begins with discovering that there can be no real freedom for us until we understand the nature of the tyranny of the past that still lives within us. One of the main areas of this unchallenged dictatorship that still holds...

Other people do not create any disturbance we feel in the relationship. They are revealing to us in that moment the part of us that lays in the dark and waits to get disturbed so it can hide behind the cloud of war.

There is nothing in the universe that can stop us from growing, except our habitual, mechanical nature.

In the end, and to the point of this work we do, the journey is from outward to inward. The journey takes a person from "out there" (powers and possessions, travel, drugs, new hobbies, friends, relatives, approval, etc.) to an understanding that as long as they look to anything or anyone outside of themselves, it is never going to reconcile or bring an end to the overwhelming negative states such as fear that are wrecking their life.

It is impossible to change the relationship that you have with the world around you without changing the relationship that you have in yourself, with yourself. This is the secret teaching of the ages, including being the root of Christ's teaching, as it directly relates to the necessity of a new mind. Our task, if we want to be free human beings -- if we want a life in which we no longer...
