Guy's Letters

Silencing the mind is the renunciation of created existence, is it not? (From student correspondence)...

I bought a journal awhile ago and have yet to write in it. The intention is there for a moment, and then I get "tricked" into thinking that its a waste of time. Do you think there is value in keeping a journal and writing each day -- even if just for a few moments -- about observations, etc.? (From student correspondence)...

You've written that: "No one ever falls into a dark psychological hole that he didn't help dig!" I see what you're trying to say, but I think that statement is rather offensive to survivors of child abuse, violence, etc. (From student correspondence)...

I've noticed that the more I hear people complain about their unwanted circumstances in life, the less likely they are to do anything to change them. It makes me wonder if I'm just as ungrateful and unwilling! Many religious and spiritual teachers talk about "tithing" or giving away 10% of your income. Is this something we should all do? What is the reason for doing it? I feel grateful for the...

What are your teachings on spiritual immortality, the afterlife, and reincarnation? (From student correspondence)...

Where is the line between "not having an issue with anything" as you spoke of in The Genesis of Love, and enabling or allowing? Issues like verbal and physical aggression, mobbing, abuse of any kind, denigration, somebody "acting out"... For example, where would India be without Ghandi standing up to the British Empire? Would Love have had an issue with the British Empire? I don't understand w...

When I hear some voice in my head, I try to become conscious, aware of myself. I hear nothing, but I feel the presence of the voice in the form of a kind of "pressure" in my head. Is this pressure the emotion that accompanies the voice? Am I looking in the right direction? (From student correspondence)...

I am trying to apply Light to a crisis caused by my husband's infidelity, and to not let fear or pain tell me what to do. I realize that I can only trust God, and that I am perfect in His eyes, but how can I not be in pain at the loss of trust and intimacy with my husband? Wasn't that what I was supposed to gain through marriage? (From student correspondence)...

I am bogged down in a financial and personal morass, created by extremely poor decisions and excesses in the past. I fear that the whole mess makes it impossible now to absorb and realize the truths that can transform my life. I feel there is just too much damage, and my life will be forever marked by my mistakes. (From student correspondence)...

I know that I should persist in developing my inner strength, being aware in the moment, but there is still that "but" that stops me in my tracks as painful circumstances persist and I remain perpetually unsatisfied, puzzled and lost, feeling that I am wasting my life. I am tied with the rope of hopelessness and helplessness. There are walls everywhere -- wrong job, wrong husband -- as if I am...

My teenage son studies hard, but his grades remain below average. I would like to be able to offer him some trick about studying and taking exams that would help him to achieve good results. (From student correspondence)...

I've been listening to the Being Fearless and Free audio album every night for months now. I'm still as afraid as I was before, so I don't hold out much hope that these ideas will give me back my power... (From student correspondence)...
