ED: Hello. I'm Dr. Ellen Dickstein. Welcome to a Fireside Chat with bestselling inner-life author, Guy Finley. Today I thought we would talk about happiness. We all spend probably 99.9% of our time and energy doing things that we think will make us happy. Yet, judging by the way most people walk around, and by the state of the world, we're not doing a very good job of it. Guy, where are we goi...

Part I: Though we are created to be the embodiment of Freedom itself, still -- to be free -- we must choose that Life before all else. Part II: When a moment is whole, that wholenss is its meaning.

Interview with DeDe Murcer Moffett of Snap Out of It on 10/25/11.

In this short talk, Guy Finley explains the difference between the false kind of shame that shackles us to a self that is trapped in the past, and the proper kind of conscious remorse that is the seed of true humility and freedom.

Student Talks: 3/21/2025 - It may be said that one finds freedom from suffering over oneself in direct proportion to one's realization that there is no separate self whose suffering is to be resisted.

In this 'Masters Channel Series' program Guy discusses how the true freedom we seek is found not through acquiring more powers or possessions, but in understanding the nature of the 'prison' itself.

In this answer to a viewer's question, Guy explains that we so often end up feeling bad because we get captured over and over again by something that promises freedom, but in the end delivers nothing but unnecessary pain.

Real life never stops starting over; but, before we can enter into its ceaseless flow and realize its perfect freedom, we must agree to let go of our identification with any past attachments that create a present sense of self.

Classroom Talk: 02/09/2025 - Perfect peace is not found in some time to come; it has never not existed now. We are created to perfectly reflect this truth...and, in so doing, to realize its freedom.

Don't wish for freedom; choose it. Start by challenging the false notion that negativities are true powers. Deliberately walk past any dark state whose painful presence -- left uncontested -- makes you a prisoner of its domain.

It is never the event or the condition that holds us captive, but it's the way we think toward it that creates our sense of captivity. Help yourself to the keys of self liberation hidden in these next ten insights. Take the time you need to let each concentrated idea sink into your heart and mind. The truths you are about to meet are actually alive. If you embrace their healing presence, t...

We can either spend our lives fearful of any unwanted event that comes along to challenge our sense of self -- or we can use that same situation to help set ourselves free. Presently we see whatever troubles us through the eyes of a false nature that believes protecting itself from what it fears is the same as being fearless. The only way this idea makes sense is if we think that avoiding a pr...
