Classroom Talk: 3/16/2022 - The sense of any disturbance within us is the awareness of being touched by Life. The part of us that resists this unwanted sense of being "upset" by life is, in fact, powerless to restore the equilibrium it feels has been lost. In truth, all forms of painful resistance are the negative effect of an unconscious nature at war with life itself... as it blames life for disturbing its imagined peace.

I work consciously every day to overcome inner resistance, doubts, etc., but there is one thing that I don't know how to crack... that is tension and intense body pain that began early in my life that just seems to worsen over time...would you have any thoughts on this?...

Since real life is genesis itself -- the ceaseless rebirth of 'what has been' giving way to 'what is and will be' -- then the only thing a person can be 'in charge' of is the illusion that something remains constant besides change.

I find little comment on your website regarding political action or defense from immediate physical threats. The message seems to be that resistance or effort to promote a change in a perceived problem is counter-productive and only prolongs the issue. Where does one draw the line (if at all) when perceived attacks are repeated or increased? Are any political involvements valid?...

Resistance is self-love of the negative kind. And whoever embraces its denying force guarantees, through its re-creation, the reincarnation of yet another dark relationship that will soon be equally spurned.

Exercise: When you feel resistance to a disturbance, realize that the attempt to balance that nature is what is actually unbalancing it. Move from the unconscious objector to the conscious observer.

It is the nature of resistance to reject any form of stillness, because all it can 'see' in it... is the unwanted reflection of its own negative face.

All lingering negative states are indigestion of the mind. They are a kind of chronic residue created by resistance to learning the Life Lessons that ride in on the back of events.

Resistance recreates - and then reinstates - whatever it opposes, including the false sense of self that keeps trying - in vain - to free itself from whatever it doesn’t want to see is true about itself!

In this short video, Guy Finley talks about why anything that we are not aware of -- both internally and in the external world -- affects the way we feel and directs our actions accordingly. Becoming conscious of our interior state as well as our immediate external environment allows us to see tension and anxiety that is present within us without letting it take us over.
