Guy Finley's monthly call-in radio show, Guy Finley LIVE! Topics covered: We must learn to use our actual lives, moment to moment, to work on ourselves and our freedom; All disturbances are meant to reveal where we are out of life's flow; You cannot and must not protect yourself from unwanted moments; There is no such thing as an unproductive moment; Events that take place in passing time are...

When it comes to comparing the rewards of this world -- its powers and pleasures -- to the possibility of realizing spiritual freedom, there is no such thing as the 'next best thing.' But, as always, each must weigh such considerations for oneself, and prepare to live the consequences of that decision: is it better to 'die' a free man or woman, or to live as a foolish one who realizes, too lat...

It is impossible to change the relationship we have with the world around us without changing the relationship we have in ourselves, with ourselves.

Topics covered: One basic mistake we make is that we are continually distracted into looking away from the revelations that each moment brings. It is a misunderstanding of our place in this world, and of the right order of things; Not one thing changes that doesn't change everything else in the entire system. Freedom is being able to see that, and in seeing it you know that you are not apart from it.

We go through life looking for approval from others. This unending search for approval runs deep inside of us as we unknowingly nurture a relationship with the idea that if we could just be accepted, then little by little we would come to know who we are. We actually buy into the notion that if we could get enough people to approve of us, then this ache in our soul that is always trying to fig...

Part 1: Once we realize that whatever we will bring into our awareness has always been an aspect of our own consciousness, only not yet realized as being so, we also understand this liberating truth: nothing exists outside of us. All destinations are already within us, including the Love we are searching for... and the unconditional freedom which It alone has the power to grant. Part 2: A hous...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of September 22, 2014. Part 1: Attending to, completing what the present moment asks of you... is the business of real Life. In the silence of this relationship is revealed and received, at once, the wisdom and wealth of your True Self. A few of these timeless riches include: a faith no fear can shake, an innocence no temptation can break, and a freedom...

It seems to me that the main reason we suffer, as we do -- over the things we do -- is not because these things, in themselves, have the "power" to punish us, but rather because we forget in these moments that who we really are cannot feel "punished" without having forgotten that God is good.

Nothing seems harder to accept than some of the strange and often shocking spiritual facts to which we are awakening. After all, who would ever believe that we are responsible for so much of what proves to be unnecessary suffering? But with the help of honest self-investigation, we begin to learn that we must challenge this involuntary, often intractable refusal to consider such ideas. The tru...

Classroom Talk: 7/28/2002 - Part 1: We must work to employ the Truths we want to know before they can impart to us the Living Knowledge of those new freedoms that only they can grant to us through their Perfect Works. Part 2: The True Spiritual Path is not about a "me" with a "Thee" to protect me from my problems. No, it is about the conscious surrender of that "me" in favor of the awakened awareness of a remembered "we"...

Remastered Classic Talk: 2/17/16 - There is only one-way to change who, and what we have been: we must set a conscious intention to observe ourselves... as we are, under any and all circumstances. This means that moment-to-moment, we choose, consciously, to see what's unfolding within us through the "eyes" of a higher part of us that knows -- even as it enters the fray -- that our freedom begins with ending our identification with lower, unconscious influences.

The size and strength of any anxious, or otherwise tormenting reaction is no bigger or stronger than the extent of our resistance in the moment of its appearance...
