Whenever someone rushes or pushes his way by you, and you can see that he is on the 'highway to hell,' don't waste a single moment of your journey looking down the road that he is on, or wondering what he will find there.

The fear of being misjudged belongs to a mechanical part of you that doesn't understand anything, let alone the fear it has of its own tendency to instantly turn dark and defensive should anyone dare question its nearly perfect understanding.

Life is change; it is creation revealing itself. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its divine design, or we can continue to struggle with unwanted moments in the false belief that our pain proves we know how the story of life is supposed to unfold.

There is only one reason why we ever become negatively inclined, let alone surrender ourselves to the debilitating embrace of any dark character that comes calling for us: We have forgotten that within us dwells a Light whose power grants us the right to choose the kind of company we keep.

Whether the wind is at his back, or blows squarely in his face, the true aspirant sails on knowing... he is always in the right place.

Whenever a strong feeling comes over you -- that you are right to feel negative about some outer circumstance -- you may be quite certain that, inwardly, you're standing in the wrong place.

Guy provides deeper insight into ideas from recent talks as students report on their experiences and observations while working with various exercises. Topics include consciously watching a complaining nature within, and the difference between being a "teacher" of Truth and a living expression of it.

We rarely see when we take the path of least resistance in life -- that low road called 'guaranteed to go nowhere' -- because of how immediately we identify with the legion of thoughts and feelings that always appear in that same moment of our suffering to justify the 'choices' we make to escape it.

The fear of -- and unconscious resistance to seeing the depth and breadth of one's own weakness -- is not the same as realizing one's actual state of (spiritual) helplessness in that same moment.

We can either continue clinging, in vain, to (all of) those relationships in life upon which the false self fearfully depends (in order to exist)... Or we must shoulder up our faith in the Divine -- hold to our hope in its unspoken promise -- and dare to let go of all that we've been, or have been trying to become. There is no other way to know a Love that never fears, falters, or betrays.

There is no worse, nor more terrifying moment for those who are always in a hurry than to suddenly find themselves with nothing left to do!...

Complaining about unwanted moments is like wrapping yourself up in a wet blanket on a winter day in an effort to fend off a chill.
