You may want to think about this for the rest of your life... and I'm not kidding. The need for a lesson to be learned attracts the condition it requires to be fulfilled. Do you see how benevolent is the Creator (whatever word you want to give to it)? Because look, how many of you think to yourself, "Oh joy, here comes a lightning bolt! Here comes a lesson!" No. When lessons come..."

It is sheer fantasy to think that your “tomorrow” can be any different – better or brighter than today – as long as all you do is fantasize about it. Real self-change requires the conscious sacrifice of the self whose hopes lie in things dreamed.

Guy Finley explains that the idea of "remembering ourselves" is completely different than being drawn into thinking about ourselves. Remembering ourselves is a perfect action that is in harmony with the "celestial tempo," while thinking about ourselves creates a lifeless prison cell that is decorated with familiar pictures.

Part I: The human spirit was never intended to be dominated by anything, as within Her dwells the Light that can discern the nature of any darkness regardless of whatever likeness it may assume. Our great weakness, and where this darkness has succeeded with its deception and domination of us, is that we think we are our thoughts... so that it is through their pervasive presence in us that we...

In this short video, Guy talks about being self-conscious: thinking about how you should look a certain way or be a certain kind of person. Becoming aware of the pain inherent in thinking about yourself is the first step to freeing yourself from it.

We may deny that we value our aches, but on the other hand, we think about them all the time. We have yet to recognize the fact that our thinking about any painful event as something real, solid and unavoidable is one of the conditions that perpetuate it. Take one thing out of the mix of elements that make up any moment in life, and it is no longer the same event. When we stop giving our life...

The real source of resentment toward others is not due to some "power" we may think they have and hold over us; rather, it arises from a secret weakness within us that keeps us believing that someone else holds the key to our well being.

The sooner we see the secret relationship between how certain we are over what we think we know -- and the extent of our suffering over the same -- the sooner will we find that elusive freedom that comes only with having realized freedom from the known.

The sooner we see the secret relationship between how certain we are over what we think we know, and the extent of our suffering over the same, the sooner we will realize the true liberation that comes only with winning freedom from the known.

If we ever think to ourselves, more than once, that we hate the way our world is, or what we're doing with our life... it means we would rather sit and hate our circumstances than act, as we must, in order to change them.

Before we can change our destination and arrive in that higher world we want, before we can ever start out in that new direction that leads to liberation, we must wake up to the steps we're being given to take by a nature whose favorite direction is down. Victory over our own lower nature is now or never. Thinking, or hoping, that any destination we have in mind is going to be superior to w...
