In this short audio clip, "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about how becoming conscious of ourselves in the right way comes with a necessary kind of growing pain that happens when we begin to separate ourselves from the lower self that we have falsely taken ourselves to be.

Best-selling "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about the fact that every moment is new and untouched, and if we cannot see that fact it is because we are seeing life through the eyes of an old nature that is comfortable only with what is familiar.

Guy explains what it means to "practice the presence" and sustain a relationship with a higher part of ourselves in the present moment. It starts with working to remain in our body, psychologically speaking, which allows our senses to keep us connected to the whole of life.

Guy Finley clarifies that working to meet challenging moments "impersonally" does not mean to pretend that we are not bothered by what comes up inside of us, but to receive the impressions from the unwanted event fully so that it can be used for the purpose of revelation.

The best guarantee for a brighter, freer "tomorrow" is found within the dedicated inner work you do today to welcome the light of higher self-understanding.

Fearlessness comes with the birth of this new understanding: the only reason life changes as it does is to reveal and perfect the secret goodness that both drives and underlies those same changes.

No unwanted, painful condition in life can be separated from the parts of us that resist its appearance... anymore than what we see in a mirror can exist without what's being reflected within it!...

The path to self-perfection weaves its secret way through the land of imperfection, where only the conscious awareness of where we actually are (in this land) changes forever where we stand.

Spiritually speaking, as a required agreement essential in facilitating one's rebirth, one must learn what it means to be at peace with suffering the level of oneself that can never know the peace it seeks.

Nothing serves better -- or more sharply -- to awaken one to some unseen demand buried in the dark of one's mind, than does the sudden appearance of an unexpected, unwanted condition that emerges to challenge it.

We not only claim any pain that we name, but then -- in our attempt to "tame" it -- are turned into the unwitting servant of the very suffering that we are complicit in creating and sustaining.
