One sure sign of progress along the spiritual path is the unthinkable understanding that no matter how, or why it's spoken (to you)... whatever someone says that's true about you... is good for you....

In this short talk Guy gives a detailed explanation on the spiritual paradox that resistance is secret interest and similarity.

...That thought tends to take the path of least resistance, and that your life is going around in circles, is no coincidence. To see the truth of this is to see through the secret source of fear that drives this wheel of woe.

In this short talk listeners are encouraged to discover the freedom in self-observation. Presently, we experience the pain of resisting the moments in life that we don't want without understanding that resistance is the limitation of possibility. But by consciously working to observe the moment instead of resisting it...

In this Saturday discussion Guy delves into the topic of disturbance and how it is connected to resistance. Presently, we only take up thought due to disturbance, and disturbance is due to resistance. But we can learn to say no to the nature that falsely attributes power to itself...

It isn't our mistakes that cause us to suffer over them as we do; what makes missteps so painful is our resistance to seeing that we make them.

It is impossible to resist any condition in life and learn from it at the same time.

Topics covered: paradox, resistance, attraction, misfortune, bad luck, self-fulfilling prophecy, release, letting go...

There is no consumptive negative state in the consciousness without resistance being the "goo" it grows out of -- something black and dark pulling and pushing on you. And in the moment that dark state starts to swallow you, when you're starting to feel sorry for yourself, or you're trying to figure out what to do about something because you're asleep to yourself, all you know to do is to push back...

Part I: Wherever you are in any given moment is exactly where you need to be in order to receive the lessons your soul has both requested and that it requires to outgrow its present set of circumstances. Part II: To not want any particular moment is to ensure that you will find yourself in a similar situation again. Resistance rules out receptivity, and only an open mind can be renewed.

Will you speak more about how resistance can be our ally to make peace with what is incomplete? How we can remain open when we feel attacked in that moment, not later when the light goes on and I hit my forehead, seeing the test to see if I learned to be open?

Resisting any perception of yourself serves to conceive that self perceived.
