I divorced my husband just over two years ago after a 20+ year marriage. He was on a path of self-destruction and I could no longer be a part of what he had become. His decline accelerated over the next two years until this morning when he called to tell me he intended to kill himself and he just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for trying my best. A part of me is attempting to convince mys...
All the many years of my first marriage, I showed one face for outside and another for inside so that I would not get into trouble. I know we shouldn't blame anyone else for our mistakes, but I did anything to keep the peace. Now I have a chance to meet someone else but I have no desire to lie, cheat, and deceive again. My trust has gone out the window. How do I start over and give this love a...

I often feel lazy when it comes to studies. This wasn't the case when I was a student, rather the opposite was true. I used to be the top of my class. But, after graduating I no more feel the urge to study as before. Moreover I am becoming involved in playing videogames or watching movies. I know I have to study for higher exams, but when I sit to study, various forces or voices compel me to p...
So many times I want to just give up on my inner work because I see the possibility of being a new man evaporate before my eyes in the fire of some confusion or negative state. I start thinking about your teachings, or those of past masters, and feel such despair because I can see I'm not getting anywhere... even though I know (in my heart, anyway) there's no place to get to! What now? (Studen...
Dear Guy, I appreciate beyond what I can express for all that you have done related to your work. I agree with what you have said from time to time that God is without cause (that we cannot do anything, "good" or "bad" to get God to act specifically towards us in the physical plane). The evidence in what we see in the world and in our own lives seems abundantly clear that this is the case, de...
Hello, I have a question for you, if you don't mind. I am in a bible study group in which we are all gay. There are a couple of lesbians in the group and the rest are men. We take our bible study group very seriously. Just recently, we got to a topic that someone brought up which was about homosexuality in our bible. If you have anything to share with me about this topic, I would greatly appre...

Topic: Use Painful Relationships to Create Powerful Healings (11/25/20 Classroom Talk)
I am an addict and have been involved in a bad relationship. I have listened to you and it has encouraged me to dig much deeper to find out why I would stay in such an unhappy relationship. Two things came up. One is that I am terrified to be with my own company as I don't like "me," and second, a lie: the promise of a day when I can finally rest and be taken care of. I have found strength in...
