Much as a jeweler uses his grinding wheel to remove any rough edges remaining on an otherwise perfect gem, so all of our relationships are designed to help “polish” one another’s heart... that they might more perfectly reflect a higher order of Love whose power helps heal all involved.

Trying to elevate the quality of our life experience -- with all of its delicate relationships -- without first working to realize and rise above the limitations inherent in our present level of self-understanding... is like trying to shake the dust out of a carpet, while you're still standing on it!

Nothing is more empty of higher possibilities than a mind filled with resistance to the revelation of real life.

In this short talk we're invited to discover the possibility of an enlightening relationship with real Life. Guy tells us that our relationship with consciousness is to agree to bring the whole of ourselves into the Light of intelligence that balances and reconciles through the act of Love.

Being renewed by Life, and beginning your life all over again are one and the same interior action: it starts with becoming aware of, and then bringing a conscious end to all lingering relationships you may have with old thoughts and feelings that want you to keep seeing your life through their eyes.

Part 1 Your true nature is fearless because it lives for one reason only: to be the unflagging instrument -- moment-to-moment -- of whatever Love asks it to be. Part 2 The outcome of any relationship in life is inseparable from the level of awareness of the one entering into that relationship.

Being able to let go of any negative state takes place naturally as you see that the only thing binding you to it, and its misery, is your own attention.

In this short talk, Guy explains that nothing outside of yourself is punishing you. What is punishing you is your own resistance to what it feels like when people are rude, crude, or unkind. You want to blame others for the pain that you are in. See the resistance. Be aware of the pain of resisting. Be aware of the pain of blaming. The more you can be aware of that pain, the more unwilling you will be to lend yourself over to the demand that others...

Your understanding of -- and therefore your relationship to -- passing time depends upon living in Presence, the conscious act of remembering (the whole of) yourself. Practicing this Presence is an active relationship... a dynamic partnership between attention and awareness that once married serve to reveal a Timeless world already present within an equally Timeless you.

Topics explored in this dialogue: It's a paradox that the more we do to make ourselves happy, the more fearful we become; We have been captives to the mindset that all we need to do is name what we want, think about it every day, and then drive through McBundance; Life is meant to reveal what is already within you; Imagination and visualization are a necessary part of life, but only for practi...

Guy Finley talks about the unnecessary pain that is produced by a breakdown in communication, which is resolved by coming out of our mental dialogs and entering into a broader awareness that is instantaneous communication.
