Guy explains that in order to come into a real life, you need to work to stop passively giving into fear and start taking action that allows you to see yourself as you are. As you start to see the truth of yourself, you'll begin to discover possibilities you never knew were in you. Here's an exercise designed to help you be proactive in your inner work.

Part 1 Any real intention we set for ourselves to rise above our present level of being is going to reveal a lower level of self that doesn't want to change. This is a powerful spiritual law that creates both challenge and opportunity at the same time. The challenge: agreeing to see how our unconscious nature -- encased and enchanted by its own negative reactions -- is incapable of doin...

If we're to succeed in our search for wholeness, we not only require a new and higher order of self-knowledge, but one that must also take us in a completely new direction.

One indication of making real effort, based on a true spiritual intention, is that even when we fail (with it), whatever regret we may have over our revealed weakness is tempered by an equal measure of realizing how important it is that we never forget what has just happened to us, within us; for now we have seen and experienced, first hand, not just a lower nature whose will determines our da...

You don't "deserve" spiritual food; celestial substance, the bread of Life, is not served upon demand. But, it is given to you, if you so choose, to work in the garden of what is Good, to till and weed the soil from out of which can grow a vine that bears wine. After work, you dine; then the food taken in is properly transformed because you agreed to change before you sought to consume wha...

Part I: Spiritual patience is born in us as we grow to realize that our individual lives are forever being revealed in a great Clockwork whose tireless and timeless mainspring is Love. Our part in this inexorable movement of Life is not to resist what appears untimely in its unfolding but -- providing we will remain open, watchful and honest about what is being revealed -- to realize that ever...

Classroom Talk: 12/9/2022 - Without resistance to its appearance... there is no negativity inherent in suffering; to realize the fact of this truth is the first step in proving (to yourself) that all forms of psychological pain are optional.

If, each day, we would each make it our aim to show even the most common kind of consideration to those we meet along the way, then daily acts of distrust, resentment, and fear would become more and more uncommon, and the troubles of this world would melt away.

There is only one path that leads to a relationship with what is holy, and therefore perfectly complete... And that is to see -- without flinching, and finally without regret -- that all of the (seemingly attractive) paths through this life always end right where they began: in a too-familiar, but terrible, sense of emptiness.

Guy Finley's monthly call-in radio show "Guy Finley LIVE!" broadcast on HealthyLife.net. Topics explored in this show: We don't understand the beauty of our own interior life, because we never stay with disturbances; We always look for something to blame for why we feel the way we do, and when we find something to blame, a solution comes with it...

Turn this knowledge into spiritual power to help dismiss any discouraging thought: Those parts of us that whisper to us from some unseen corner of our heart, that tell us that our effort to know the Truth of ourselves is useless -- or that our wish for more Light is a waste, these thoughts and feelings are nothing but the dark voices of uselessness and waste themselves. These negative states m...
