Given the values of the world in which we live today, it's no small wonder that the first of the beatitudes -- “Blessed are the poor in spirit” -- more often than not proves itself a painful paradox regarding the notion of real wealth; for the truth is -- as Christ taught -- that the less we take ourselves to be, the more we’re given to discover all that we are, and forever will be...

In this video, Guy Finley explains how much more is required of us than just mere "belief" in a Divine life, and that each of us must do the necessary work to uncover this higher treasure within ourselves.

Topics covered:  "We would not be interested in true interior Work unless somehow, on a daily basis, we lived with an unrequited Love. The capacity to know this Love is already seeded within us; The consciousness that we call "Christ" is the light that dwells within the darkness that the darkness cannot comprehend. The Christ is a living awareness."

The reason that our lives are repetitious is that there is "no room at t...

Topics covered: The reaction to the pain seems to be different than the pain itself; When you try to figure out what your pain is about, you do it from the mistaken position of thinking you're the light figuring out the darkness; You cannot truly know what love is without at least gradually understanding what the love of God is; Real love has no position at all.

The reason that rebirth - - true resurrection - - is a precondition of entering the kingdom of heaven is because the kingdom of heaven is not so much a "place" as it is an act of Love, and nothing may enter into it that is not one with its Life.
