Here is a great spiritual paradox, but the first step towards real interior freedom begins with seeing its profound truth: there is only one thing that binds us to any given unwanted moment, and that is...how much we don't want to be in it!...

We can only see (in life) what we are -- and the joy or sorrow of our relationships in this world is determined by this invisible spiritual law; all of which explains... If we truly wish to see life anew, we must ourselves be born anew.

Negative states thrive as they do within us because we have yet to realize that we just do not need them... And until we do awaken to how wrong these spirits are for our body and soul, our spiritual sleep is their dark sanctuary.

When living within the limits of what is known is also seen as being the limitation of your spiritual possibilities, then there is no recourse other than to depart the safety of all that you have been…

Classroom Talk: 4/2/2004 - Show me someone who isn't working to improve whatever it may be that he or she is doing -- every time they do it -- and I will show you a person who is missing the very purpose of being alive.

Spiritual conversion may begin with our effort to attune ourselves to the perceived will of God, but its fulfillment comes only with the end of our willfulness. So, real spiritual refinement is voluntary, not willful. The first action is based in self-knowledge, the latter in the unremitting wish "to know."

But presently, our days are governed by a default release mechanism, which is a type of blindness, an aversion to seeing the truth of ourselves. No problem exists for a human being outside of the fact...

In this special short talk Guy continues his instruction on attention to include the ""Thou Art - I Am"" exercise. This deeper level of work builds on the previous attention exercises...

What is the true spiritual journey other than the discovery that who we really are is (a) part of a Consciousness that remains, at least for now, unconscious... not just of itself, but also to the suffering inherent in being apart from the Holiness of life.
