Remastered Classic Talk: 5/31/17 - True patience, the seed of being consciously kind, begins with the interior work of never forgetting the following: what someone else does, whatever the nature of his or her action, has no authority over who you are.

Learning to let the whole world pass us by is the only way to discover that the fear of losing some imagined power, possession, or position in life is the same dying to an equally imagined lower level of self that "lives" to cling to it.

The unseen seed of every success -- of every great work of art, and every light that has ever helped illuminate the human journey -- began with someone being open to a new possibility in life and saying "Yes" to it... regardless of personal cost.

Do you think for a moment that God is ever disappointed with the moment that He has made? Your personal unhappiness is because you are disappointed with yourself. In reality, who you really are is not apart -- not separate from -- the moment that God has made. The moment and you are the same thing. Whenever you can catch anything in you that feels disappointment or discouragement, drop it ins...

Within us lives a timeless Self that cannot forget what is right, bright, and true any more than the sun has to try to remember to shine each day.

Guy Finley explains that if we ever find ourselves feeling superior to another person, then that is the perfect time to take an honest look at ourselves so that we can begin to sense what it truly feels like to judge others.

Remastered Classic Talk: 10/05/16 - The spiritual search for the "old nature" set against you... isn't a "snipe hunt." The source of human misery is not a myth; so that if you've yet to see the beast of self-centeredness, if you don't recognize this creature for what it is -- and where -- it lurks within you... then at least learn to look for its tracks. That way, you might one day trace them back to its dark lair, where lie all the bleached bones of your life past. Don't be dismayed by this prescription, rather hear its timeless promise: your wish and willingness to enter into this place marks its death, not yours.

Classroom Talk: 8/6/2003 - Part 1: In direct proportion to the strength of our remembrance of His Life does God grant us His strength. Part 2: Look at what a man labors at and you will know what he loves. Look at what a man loves and you will know whom he serves. Look at what a man serves and you know his master. Look at a man's master and you know his destiny.

Topics covered: The whole of the work boils down to being able to stand in front of the mirror of the moment and not flinch; Everything is about the transformation of spiritual food; This moment is a force, an active energy; Rushing is an unrecognized form of fear and greed; We seek higher knowledge because of dissatisfaction and longing; You can't need the divine without the divine already be...

Dwelling on any unhappy moment in life is like channel surfing through a thousand possible TV shows, selecting the one that troubles you the most, and then blaming your TV set for the pain you're feeling.

Be wise. Stay attentive to all that you do, for there comes no second error that doesn’t follow on the heels of a first.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how freedom from the tyranny of psychological storms begins by refusing to be consoled by anything that our minds can imagine, an action that allows the true consolation to make itself known to us.
