Guy Finley explains that there is a nature inside of us that wants nothing to do with spiritual work and inner transformation. We must consciously meet this part of ourselves that is not interested in doing what is right, and work to develop the right kind of spiritual toughness so that we can be present to ourselves in every moment, in spite of what it seems to cost.
Guy Finley explains that we always give our attention to what we value most. We can't "look" for the path to the Divine. The path is right here, right now. Our work is to attend and "listen" for the Divine, moment to moment. That is the true path to peace and freedom.
Guy Finley explains that as your awareness of the natural laws that currently govern your actions increases, so does your ability to make choices based on higher knowledge, instead of being blindly guided by ignorance. Spiritually speaking, this is the beginning of the development of true free will.
In this short video, Guy Finley explains that we are troubled by the behavior of other people only when we want something from them. When we begin to use our relationships for the higher purpose of self-understanding, we will find ourselves in effortless command of even the most difficult situations.

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about how the universe wants us to succeed as human beings. Although it may seem otherwise at times, when we finally understand the truth of this, any and all doubts about whether or not we can really find true happiness will cease.
Those who seek first the Kingdom of Heaven are always in the right place, at the right time, to see their cup filled, and to drink from it... as freely as they will.
The true measure of our love for the Light of the Divine isn't found in how much it fills us, but rather in our willingness to empty ourselves (of our self) for the sake of living its Presence.
Until the peace and pleasure found within yourself is equal to -- or greater than any consolation found outside of yourself -- then your power to be patient, loving, and profitable in every moment is, at best, conditional.
Dare to explore yourself, and illuminate the worlds within. Reveal the worlds within, and realize the truth of your Self. Discover the truth of your Self, and free yourself from (the worlds of) fear and sorrow.
It really doesn't matter which way the wind blows -- or how often it may suddenly change direction -- as long as you remain at the helm of your ship, never losing sight of the harbor towards which you sail.
We can never really stop jumping through hoops until we realize that the only thing waiting for us on the other side is the same fearful nature that's shouting at us to jump!...
Any form of measuring yourself by an unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror and then blaming yourself for the shattered image that you see there.
