There is a door that swings both ways... where the difference between open and shut can be as narrow as the threshold over which that door stands guarding it...

Resistance is one of three celestial forces contributing to the revelation and ceaseless perfection of creation itself... which means it is always complementary to the completion of each moment...

Watch this short excerpt by Guy Finley in which he tells two poignant stories that illustrate our deepest wish to know our purpose in Life and answer the ultimate question, "What am I doing on this planet?"

I have and hold the hope of being able to know I am walking into the kitchen, or down a country road, awake and present to myself...

I've been working with my inner reactions to encounters in my life, but I'm realizing much of what I've been dealing with are really internal issues... someone cuts in front of me at the grocery store and my inner dialogue begins about how they did it on purpose, they don't like me, etc. But what is the response if someone were to actually hurt me outwardly, i.e., if someone walked up to me an...

The next time that you find yourself in a stew, regardless of how practical it seems, just quietly note and ask yourself, why is there negativity involved in a practical decision? What does negativity have to do with what I need to do? If you just ask yourself that question, you'll start to see that there is always something at the bottom of what it calls practical that's pushing you to get something reconciled in your life.

There are three ways to get what one wants from life: industry, cunning, or love. Industry is good but at best conditional, for it is subject to the passage and ravages of time. The "crafty" inevitably trap themselves. Love, on the other hand, liberates those who seek its company, and it is timeless. When all is said and done, this order of love has the last word because it is its own reward: whatever we are willing to let it make of us, it fashions from itself.

One of the greatest gifts that a man or woman can be given in this world (and only if they ask properly) is to understand that everything that happens to them - no matter what -- is for their greater good. It makes no difference what it is -- call it the worst thing in the world -- and most of us have had the experience of recognizing there were times when if we could have thrown away that moment full of fear, anger, resentment, we would have thrown it away.

Self-observation is the key to a higher order of awareness; it is how we learn to become inwardly vigilant to our own thoughts and feelings, even as they pass through us. When we can observe ourselves in this new way, our higher nature naturally prevails over any troubling thoughts or feelings that want to drag us down into their lower world...

In this short talk, Guy explains that no matter how fast or far we may run, it is impossible to outdistance, let alone hide from what we don't want to see in ourselves.

When it comes to our wish to make real changes in ourselves, good intentions cost (us) nothing... and that's why the road to hell is paved with useless coins. On the other hand, making a conscious effort to change -- in the moment that calls for it -- comes with the cost of seeing ourselves as we really are. This awareness shows us not only the possibility of being released from our worry and fear...

Welcome into your mind the following insights from Guy Finley's book, 365 Days to Let Go. Taken together they help illustrate and illuminate a grand design in which we first see the wholeness of life -- and then, as our awareness grows about this unfolding story, we enter into its native freedom. We are about to discover that more than being just a part of life's plan, letting go solves the mystery of it. We are about to see how the act of letting go...
