Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of July 10, 2017. Part 1: The longing to be present -- to live in Presence -- is the path. The "steps" are made up of all the discoveries one must make as to what prevents one from being properly attentive to the Now, the indwelling home of the Holy.

Our attention is precious. Our attention may be the most important thing that we own, and almost none of us own any of our own attention. Anybody can take it. A phone call can take it. The news can take it. Look in the mirror and it can be stolen. I'm looking in the mirror and I don't look anything like I'm supposed to look, and if I look in the mirror and I don't see what I like, where does my attention go?

If our intuition can perceive that the peace we long for is inherent in this perfectly present moment we call the "Now," what is it that keep us from knowing the fulfillment of its promise within us? Let's look.

In this 'Masters Channel Series' program Guy discusses how you don't need new 'techniques and powers' to win what your heart desires most of all. What you need to succeed is to stop believing in what is making you powerless.

So much competes for one's attention today that we barely notice how the more we struggle to win what this world says we must have to be happy, the more we not only lose sight of ourselves, but of a simpler happiness that once was ours when we were less well-versed in our desires.

There's only one way to stop being deceived by the empty promises of others -- including those produced from out of your own desires... And that is to know that nothing promised to you -- or by anyone -- has the power to "add one cubit to your stature."...

Change will never come through organizations nor through legislation. The more that people try to create peace, the less free they become. Peace existed before human beings unconsciously made it personal. The present nature that we currently live from takes everything personally. The "personal" world is the world of myself, my desires, my opinions, my preferences. The "impersonal" world is th...

If we wish to find peace we must understand something of its life. Here are a few such facts: Peace is the natural radiation of a living Now; it is one with that Light whose life is the eternal present itself, even as the emanations of light and warmth are one with the sun from which they radiate. If our intuition can perceive that the above ideas are based in truth, then we should be naturall...

How do we normally develop a new skill? For example, how do we learn to high jump? We listen to instruction, and perhaps we watch someone else; but for the most part, we learn by doing; by trying it ourselves. Generally, with our first attempts we end up crashing into rather than clearing the bar, and when we do, there's no denying it. We can see, and feel, that we've come up short. Our coll...

Something in us knows that it is only through this relationship that we will be introduced to our own higher possibilities.

Growing is natural. Our bodies grow by themselves. Our psychologies change as well, mirroring the growth of our physical body. And as we grow physiologically, a psychology is necessary to adapt to the desires of our growing physical bodies. We tend to equate growing physically with psychological, spiritual growth. But what really takes place is, with the passage of time, our psychologies simpl...
