Guy's Letters

My life is beautiful in peaceful surroundings and with loving friends. But where is my lover? Where is my dream? Not anywhere in sight... and that's been the case forever. I lost my husband in divorce, and then the journey through emotional hell based on denial began... all due to an inordinate sense of worthlessness -- unconsciously believing I was unwanted and not worth being wanted. I am an...

The uncertainties of events in my life are increasing day by day. What I hope for in the future never comes as expected. The tension of negative anticipation has created irritation in me and I sometimes shout at others. How can I develop the ability to have patience - to enjoy my present and hope for good in the future?...

As much as I have listened to your talks on breaking through the fear barrier, my fears still come to haunt me. How can I actually stop being afraid once and for all?...

Ever since I learned about the law of attraction (and have experienced it), I have stopped reading newspapers because I don't want to give my attention and energy to the conflicts in this world, but rather to peace and happiness. However, I feel like this is making me ignorant. I really do want to work towards international conflict resolution and peace, but what role should learning history a...

I live in terror all the time. I am looking into a future of overwhelming challenges. I want to believe that I can meet my challenges but deep inside I have doubts. I know its my job to work this out, but could you lend some helpful ideas to overcome this idea that I am not capable of overcoming what is now overwhelming me?...

If you do not let people treat you rudely or badly, and you do not try to help them change, would that not make you pretty much alone in the world?...

Sometimes people with depression have no choice but to "give in" to depression, so don't they need kindness and understanding?...

If I hurt another human being via thoughtlessness or neglect, either physically or emotionally, is my suffering that results from eventual awareness of my stupidity useless, or is it the pangs of conscience?...

You say that "when we will put ourselves on the side of what we know is true, then the Truth takes our side." People are constantly using the word "truth." When you say that "Truth takes our side," this seems like a religious statement and leaves me void of any comfort whatsoever, because truth is relative... what is your truth, may not be my truth, and visa-versa. Real truth does not have any...

My 20-year old daughter died six weeks ago. I understand that grief is a process. I don't want it to take the best of me, but I know it's important to let it run its course. Any words of advice are appreciated.

If I ever needed higher help, I really need it now. When I came home yesterday from work I found that my wife had moved out and emptied the house. She and the children left without leaving a note or even letting me know where they are. This has been the worst year of my life, with money and children problems. Please help me. I am going crazy because I know I always did the right thing while we...

I have difficulty with the simplest of decisions, so very large ones -- which become laced with all kinds of interesting details and coincidences -- occupy enormous amounts of my energy and time. Do you have any helpful insights into these stressful moments of having to make decisions?...
