This interior life that we are supposed to have access to and live within is ostensibly kept from us because of this nature that we live from that wants to know what it is, what it's to do, how it's to do it – at all costs, all the time – and so we miss the truth that what we are from moment to moment is what determines our experience of the moment we are in...

We can't really know love's power to free us, to fulfill us through our relationships, until we gain some totally new ideas about how to see, and then interact with others. Not just a rehash of our past failed viewpoint; we know that path is powerless to heal the aching heart. An altogether higher view is called for. We need to be able to see others through the "eyes" of a completely fresh understanding...

Meditation Talk: 3/8/2019 - Here's the last thing we want to see, but that should be first on our list of things to realize: we create the experience of any unwanted moment in our life. How can that be true? Because our experience of life is inseparable from the level of (our) consciousness defining it moment-to-moment. And, if true, which it is, it goes to...

Being fully present to oneself is freedom from the tyranny of the past and fear of the future.

Occasionally, for all of us, we accidentally enter into the flow of the Now. We could be skiing, skating, doing yoga, playing golf, and suddenly our activity aligns us with the flow of that moment. Emotionally we can enter accidentally into the Now when we look out and see the sun breaking through the clouds or we catch the evening light as it shades trees differently. Intellectually we can enter into the Now when we have an insight and an epiphany comes.

Real life is not limited to what was; it is always new because it's the expression of a compassionate and living intelligence that actively shapes whatever it touches.

In this excerpt from an hour-long seminar that Guy Finley presented on Sunday 2/12/17, he explains what is necessary for us to go through if we truly wish to live life to its fullest. The full replay of this class is available in Guy's Online Wisdom School, GuyFinleyNow.org, where you can join other true aspirants from around the world as we work to understand and embody these truthful princip...

In this answer to a viewer's question, "Secret of Letting Go" author Guy Finley explains that real meditation involves being present to both the interior world as well as the exterior world at the same time. That presence is the center of all things.

The main reason why nothing of lasting value can be taken from any moment is because it's only the Presence of the moment itself that's truly valuable.

Student Talks: 1/24/2020 - Key Lesson: Our mind is at last our own only when we can give it fully to the moment at hand, regardless of what life seems to hand us in that moment.
