An Easter Message: All True Scripture states the same Truths: One must lose to gain, humble oneself to be exalted, die to know Real Life. How may these conditions be fulfilled wherever we may be and under any circumstances? ...The True spiritual Path first follows what is a descent into the discovery of a nature governed by a dark will... whereupon the willing soul, having descended into he...

True spiritual principles fail to free us because we call on them for the wrong purpose at the wrong time. Such principles are not for our protection, but to help us see, first hand, that there's no such "self" as we've imagined is in danger. Higher principles are not meant to keep us out of battles; they're intended to help us walk through them. There is no other way to discover that w...

Just as rivers are born from rains that run to return to the seas, only to set out again in their ceaseless role of helping to sustain creation in time, so do the forces of Light have their origin in what is Timeless... first as a visible, physical outflowing and then an invisible spiritual inflowing; moving from the One to the many and then back again. Awakening to Real Life is all about con...

In this Saturday discussion Guy explains that we are not the creators of love, but rather the instruments of love through which God seeks Himself. Our biggest problem as human beings is that we are completely separate from the true mystery of life and instead seek to complete ourselves through our unreconcilable desires. The only way real change can take place within us is when we agree to exc...

Classroom Talk: 7/21/2019 - Part 1: Many are those who love, but only because they are loved, and so their love is not true. But those who love, in spite of being spurned... their love alone is true. Part 2: Don't do what hurts another, but not for the sake of being someone who doesn't do what he believes his "goodness" forbids...

Our "spiritual legs" are strengthened in one way, and one way only: by making the interior sacrifices it takes to put distance between the lower nature that lives in the dark of us, and the Light -- within and above us -- that makes clear this need. In the Higher Kingdom there is no "planning" -- no "preparing" to walk away. We either agree to help shoulder the Burden of Creation, or we have n...

Setting a true spiritual intention is the first step in developing the power of attention, the instrument of Will at all levels of creation. Seeing that you can't keep an interior intention is the only way to dispel the illusion that, as you are, you possess a will of your own. Realizing the truth of your actual situation stirs and strengthens the wish to develop a will of your own. Slowly you...

Our inner work is not to control or try to unite our mind but to become increasingly aware of the need for transcending its experience. Once it is realized that what we call our life, based in each passing, vagrant sense of "I", is no more our own than is the sound of the wind the possession of the ear that hears it, then we begin to awaken to the great spiritual truth: "My Father and I are...

Part 1 It's impossible to regret the repeated appearance of some unwanted character (seen) in yourself without having agreed -- no matter how unknowingly -- to relive its painful presence over and over again! Part 2 Those who seek true atonement with what is Divine must agree to realize a certain kind of spiritual sorrow as the cost of being shown their present level of being; and,...

As long as one remains a seeker in the spiritual game of searching for one's self, there will always be someone "new" to become as well as an agreed-upon blindness to the fact that whatever identity is acquired through such pursuit soon proves itself to be as stale and old as its predecessor. We must quit this ceaseless chase and get down to the business of being what we are – so that we mi...<

At every new and possible crossing into a higher level of consciousness, standing at the gate of each of these spiritual kingdoms, there is a faultless, infallible celestial guard. His authority is absolute, as it is backed by nothing less than the Balance of All There Is. His one timeless task is to assess, and then to ensure that any soul who wishes to pass through his gate -- who comes seek...

The following is a Key Lesson (for the talk that will be given this evening at the Foundation (Weds, May 18/2011). But, it is also a standalone insight and instruction that, once understood, opens the doors of perception and allows the one who realizes its truth to walk through what once seemed impenetrable walls. Here is a great spiritual paradox, but the first step towards real interior f...
