Make This Holiday Season the Most Important One of Your Life

Discover the real Spirit of the Holidays this year at Life of Learning's annual holiday banquet weekend!

This holiday season can prove to be the most important one of your life.  Here’s how:  Join Guy Finley for his special series of talks that will reveal how to “Break Through the Barrier of Any Pain That Seems Too Great to Bear.

And do note: these will be strong talks that cover all of the pressing questions you may have regarding everything from self-realization, the true nature of fearlessness, the “peace that passes understanding,” and what’s asked of the aspirant to cross over the last barrier to rebirth. 

Attendees will be asked to take a hard look at how our present understanding of suffering has not only failed to release us from our pain, but rather serves to ensure its unabated continuation.

Guy will introduce the shocking fact that the fundamental barrier to rebirth is our failure to understand human pain: its essence, its meaning for us, and what we can do to change our relationship to it.

He will go on to reveal the unthinkable truth that negativity is not inherent in suffering, and that it is our resistance to the appearance of suffering that makes it a negative experience.

This is new territory for us, but Guy will guide us as we wade into and discover the true nature of human suffering – including all the colors in that strange rainbow of daily sorrow, and what we find waiting at the end of our exploration. We will learn:

  • The more we are willing to face our suffering and understand its true nature – the less it hurts.
  • Without resistance to its appearance...there is no negativity in suffering.
  • Realizing the fact of our complicity in our suffering is the first step to proving to ourselves the liberating truth that all forms of psychological pain are optional.

These are stunning revelations, but our openness to understanding them can change everything about our lives and all our relationships with ourselves, with others, with life, and with the Divine.

Ultimately, as you develop greater understanding of your own suffering, you will come to understand the true meaning of Christ’s suffering, and in that you will finally be able to fulfill within yourself His greater purpose.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the secrets of the ages about the meaning of suffering that will finally make your life make sense.

Spend Part of Your Holiday at a True School for Self-Discovery

As we’ve done in recent years, all our holiday talks will be livestreamed so people everywhere can participate in our events. But nothing compares to being fully immersed in the atmosphere of a genuine school.

Whether you are able to be with us here in person, or you attend via livestream, please join us for our yearly celebration of new beginnings.
