Guy's Letters

What is the source of the "blues," and what is the most effective way to begin shaking it? When I find myself feeling depressed -- in the dumps so to speak -- I tend to see myself as the victim of whatever situation is at hand. Then the more I find reasons to justify being the victim, the longer I tend to stay at my personal pity party. What would it take to snap myself out of this sad stupor...

I am beginning to be suspicious of a certain type of vitality-stealing thought... I find myself feeling discontent about my life when I compare myself to others, or even to some younger version of myself! Why are we always measuring ourselves against others? How does this painful way of thinking get established in us? Comparing myself to who I think I should be, I often come up short... but is...

Working to be more inwardly observant of myself has brought about invaluable changes in all areas of my life. However, just recently, I feel stuck in a comfort zone where I don't want to do the work of seeing more of myself. How do I get going again? I started out on this spiritual path of seeking self-knowledge with high hopes, but -- like everything else it seems -- the sizzle eventually fiz...

I believe in God but I feel so detached from him -- I don't know spiritual love. I have no feelings for God one way or the other. Can you please tell me what it takes to come to truly love God? Is the idea that the Truth knows "all is well" simply a matter of faith, or are there facts to support it? I have been a Christian almost all my life. A few years ago I had to have open-heart surgery, w...

I am 26-years old and have not been able to secure a job for almost four years since leaving college. I have been through so many recruitment exercises for diverse organizations, but always end up receiving rejection letters. I have even gone back to school to obtain a master's degree in my field in the hope of improving my chances, but to no avail. While I am bloodied, my head remains unbowed...

How do we find others who are also searching for their true selves? At times the search causes us to leave former friends behind -- not because we are better, but because we are different. If, by the laws of attraction, everything from feathered creatures to heavenly forces has a specific essence that draws to it those elements that are like itself, how do we put the understanding of that law...

As I proceed with the new life lessons about winning the higher life, there are times where I have a disquieting feeling that I don't understand what I'm doing or, for that matter, even why I'm doing it! Sometimes I'm ready to just toss in the towel... After reading your work The Secret of Letting Go, I finally tried practicing some of its principles. I was overstressed at work and I decided...

What are illusions and how do they impact our lives and our ability to grow into our true nature? How is it that we are deceived by illusions created by our own minds? How do we put a stop to it?...

Do you have any words of wisdom that may help in weight loss? I am struggling with ill health, and have been questioning dietary guidelines. My dilemma is whether or not we are to eat raw or cooked food. Actually I know that raw or live food is good, and that cooked food, according to some research, may not have much nutrition in it. I think of a forest fire whose aftermath of ashes actually n...

What is real transformation? How do we know when we've actually changed? Are we meant to transform ourselves on this earth? It seems so out of reach. What is our part in the process?...

I'm so tired of pushing against life all the time. Where do I find the energy to overcome this relentless stress? It seems like I need to be empowered in order to accomplish anything in life, either for myself or my family -- otherwise there seems no choice but to be crushed by the competition. If neither my own feelings nor social and economic forces can make me feel safe and secure, where do...

How can the great truth that we reap what we sow be used to ensure the kind of success and limitless potential we are meant to realize in this life? How can we be certain that within us does exist this potential for a higher, limitless life of true success? Sometimes it seems like just a vain hope.
