More times a day than we want to acknowledge, we feel powerless. In such moments, for whatever reason, we see our situation as being without a solution. Confusion starts coloring our considerations. Frustration grows and surrounds us, and we find ourselves imprisoned behind a wall of fearful expectations. But we need not, and must not accept being sentenced to a life of such limitation. We c...

When we turn on a faucet connected to a hose with a small nozzle at its other end, we know from experience that we have to keep the hose in hand, otherwise we will likely get soaked chasing down the runaway end. What happens is that the water pressure, as it passes through the nozzle, transforms our ordinarily tame garden hose into the equivalent of a tethered rocket. With this picture in min...

I am 26-years old and have not been able to secure a job for almost four years since leaving college. I have been through so many recruitment exercises for diverse organizations, but always end up receiving rejection letters. I have even gone back to school to obtain a master's degree in my field in the hope of improving my chances, but to no avail. While I am bloodied, my head remains unbowed...

The "healing" we need, the sense of wholeness for which we search, has nothing to do with adding anything to ourselves. This needed healing comes from recognizing that the pain we have -- along with the suffering inherent in being negative over this pain -- is born out of participating in a series of illusions that have been handed down from generation to generation!...

Most people would rather complain about some painful life pattern than dare to meet the level of their own consciousness responsible for its repeated appearance.

The first part of these new lessons in learning to live from your Higher Self and the prayer exercises that attend them is that the next time you feel yourself becoming agitated, simply notice what idea are you connected to? Look how simple that is, if you'll do it. Here is one small example. You are driving down the street and you notice that you're feeling depressed. Or maybe you're feeli...

Making resolutions to change comes easy, but the will necessary to keep them soon fizzles. At other times, when life gives me a good blow, change is no longer optional, and resolve becomes quite effortless. How can I muster myself to keep my good intentions for a more healthy and balanced life when it's so easy to fall back into "cruise" control? I am unhappy with my weight gain, lack of exe...

Here is the way in which it is possible for each of us -- wherever we are and regardless of our circumstances -- to be the Light of the world: We must cease to be an unconscious part of its darkness. We must stop giving form to dark forces. How do we give these dark forces a body? You be the judge of the evidence: Has your mouth ever spoken out in a dark or critical rage? Have your eyes ever...

You possess a potential power that is superior to any difficulty that life may ever present. This immense inner capability enables anyone who will claim it to instantly rise above his challenger. It makes no difference what form the challenge may assume or how huge it looms. This latent power of yours can render it harmless and ultimately make it disappear. This friendly force that can turn y...

Learn to look at all difficult moments as opportunities to come awake to yourself and a place from which you can practice stepping outside of the attending circle of negative thoughts.

You break free of unhappy thoughts and emotions by seeing that, even though it may feel that way at the moment, you are not owned by them.

The following short set of questions and answers is taken from the "Ask the Masters" sections that follow the end of each chapter in Guy Finley's newest book, Let Go and Live in the Now. QUESTION: I love the idea of living in a world without storms, but given how much turmoil and trouble there seems to be everywhere, including in ourselves, where do we find such an elevated state of self?...
