Whatever we resist within ourselves rules us in our spiritual sleep, while whatever we're willing to reveal to ourselves, about ourselves, is ruled over by the true intelligence inherent in awakened self-awareness.

Peace of mind cannot be 'pieced' together anymore than it's possible to sew water, or weave sunbeams into light.

It's impossible to learn what the Divine would teach us about our own higher possibilities, and resist -- at the same time -- meeting that lower level of consciousness intent on keeping us from realizing them.

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!...

Topics covered: Men and women have become masters at burying their secret despair; There is resistance inherent in creation. All light that touches any form elicits resistance. That resistance cannot be escaped. Our problem is that we do not understand that resistance so that it can be used properly; There is a constant communication between the source of creation and the creation...

The real reason we so quickly summarily resist or reject the suffering of others is because it reminds us of what we're unable to keep buried and out of sight in our own "backyard."

Do we not try to escape the stress we have by further imagining ways to relieve ourselves from the circumstances held responsible for it? And the more we do to create for ourselves an enclave in which we will no longer be confronted with the trouble, the more we isolate ourselves, and the greater the problem becomes because we increasingly resist anything not part of what we've..."

We can either spend our life resisting painful, unwanted moments -- wishing they go away -- or we can learn to look outside of them...

Measure the degree of your impatience with people (and unwanted moments) -- that you instantly resist -- and you also know the extent to which you've forgotten who you really are... And the true purpose of (your) life.

Reactions are not actions, any more than an echo is the cause of its own sound... which means: we cannot escape moments we resist, any more than it’s possible to outrun our own shadow.

Guy Finley's monthly call-in radio show, Guy Finley LIVE! Topics explored in this dialogue: Our journey is not intended to be through matter but through WHAT matters; If there wasn't something in me trying to protect itself, I wouldn't be living in fear; We need to learn to discern facts from fear; You cannot grow without acting on what you know, and to act means...

It is impossible to know the secret holiness of any moment -- to know its divine purpose, even as you realize your responsibility in its appearance -- and to resist what it reveals about you at the same time.
