Self-Discovery author Guy Finley describes how to use everything that happens to you in life to lift you above life's problems, instead of being dragged down into them. Learn the timeless principle behind a great spiritual power that gives you authority over any negativity.

There is no solving the mystery of ourselves without having first solved the mystery of (our) pain... which is why so few become self realized, let alone set free...

Only consistent, persistent inner-work can bring us to the threshold of the “Truth that sets us free.” And yet, the following is equally true: the liberation we seek will continue to elude us until...

If we will refuse to fill unwanted moments with what we imagine we must have -- or do -- to feel secure and free, we will soon witness those same dark moments being filled with the fearless Light of an unimaginable Life.

There's only one way to be free of painful thoughts: you must see that they are not yours; and, of equal importance, no matter how mutual may seem your relationship to them... you are not a part of their family!

Real Love can never betray you, for whoever starts with -- and endeavors through -- what Love asks of him or her will come to know this greatest of truths that sets one free: Love’s end point begins -- and has always abided -- within you.

Until we learn to see -- and accept each moment as being perfect in its native appearance -- regardless how unwanted it seems at first -- we will never know the incorruptible peace and contentment that comes with knowing -- and agreeing to embrace -- the Truth that sets us free.

The truth that sets us free -- but not until we see the fact of it -- is that we are never powerless; our first, and ultimately greatest limitation is that we don't know what real power is... let alone how to enter into its stream.

Be bold. Be still. Be wise enough to know that anything that your suffering is telling you to do to be free of it is secretly a part of its continuing aching... and then withdraw yourself from its company. Be alone with the Truth.

No matter how consoling, or rich with promise it may be, no “rescuing” reaction can free you from one that has disturbed you... any more than pulling on the tail of a lion will get it to release you from its mouth!

Real abundance has very little to do with being able to give ourselves whatever we want, but rather with being free of the part of us that's forever wanting something better and new in order to feel new and better about itself.

Until you see that you live in a cage, You can't be set free. Until you would rather die than live caged, You can't be reborn. Until you are reborn, You have no Real Life. Only when you have Real Life... Is Life Real.
