Could it be possible that we are on this earth to spend our time worrying about money? Endlessly trying to figure out ways to please ourselves? Is there any remote chance that the reason we are here is to carry a hatred for years and years? To do nothing but think about ways to secure power, possessions, or approval? That doesn't make sense, does it? But clearly there...
Tell us about yourself, Guy, and how you discovered your path as an author, spiritual teacher, and healer? GF: I can't remember a time – even as a young boy – when there wasn't some kind of an ache in my heart. It was an unrequited longing born of two conditions that, at the time, seemed quite apart from one another. First, I wanted to understand why "adults" seemed fearful...
Within each of us there is an expansive world of thoughts and feelings whose movements determine how we perceive and experience the world outside of us. While this inner-world of thoughts and feelings may not directly bring us what we see, it does profoundly influence how we see our world of relationships and events. In other words, we are seeing the exterior but experiencing the interior. One...
What can I do to stop living in the past? My main goal in life is to be as happy as possible. What would be the one thing I could do over and over again every day to achieve this goal? I think I'm in love with by "chatter-brain." When I do come awake to the present moment, thought does stop. It's extraordinary, but before I know it, I'm jabbering on again. My noisy mind must be what I pref...
You can be self-enlightened instead of self-frightened. You have a choice. This discovery that you can always choose in favor of yourself is real excitement. You do not have to accept your present life-level. Life-level is what determines whether you sail through this life or sink in it. At present, it may seem to you as if there are times when you don't have much choice in your own life. I want you to know that this is a lie...

Any human being who has to hold himself together is someone who is ready to fall apart. Trying to hold yourself together is a terrible way to go through life. Our task is to prove this to ourselves. The fears of falling apart can never be quieted by adding more pieces to your self, such as success or the hopes of success. With this approach to life you wear out faster, because you now have eve...
Letting go of who you think you are and making contact with the Secret Self are actually one and the same. But what is the Secret Self? We don't have to look upon this invisible part of ourselves as anything mysterious, for it is not. In fact, this sacred nature within wants only to reveal itself and to show those with eyes to see the wonders of their own hidden heavens. This is what our s...

ED: Hello. I'm Dr. Ellen Dickstein. Welcome to a Fireside Chat with bestselling inner life author, Guy Finley. I thought that for this chat we would talk about one of those negative emotions that so many people seem to be subject to, and that is depression. But, before we get into that specifically, some people might wonder why we are always talking about negative things. It's important to do...
Why can't we shake our sense of being incomplete in spite of all we've acquired? After all, what hope is there of finding in the world situated around us something that can answer our longing to be whole, to be one with life, when this need itself comes into us from a world above us? Small wonder we search in vain! It is a divine discontent that drives us in our search for...
Time and time again, we come to the same spiritual lesson: no one can give us that which can only be found within our Self.
