Guy's Letters

Why in the world am I so weak that I can't remember my good intentions? How will I ever succeed spiritually when this weakness keeps getting in the way of my making any real progress? When I manage to remember my higher aim in life, I seem to lose control of my life, and other people are quick to take advantage of what they evidently see as my weakness. Should this be happening or am I going a...

I lost a great deal of money to a dishonest business partner. I can't believe I could have fallen for such an obvious scam or that a person I thought was my friend could have stolen from me what I had hoped to be my children's legacy. I'm burning up inside with rage, guilt, and concern over what my children will do now. I know this is killing me. What would you do in my position? I am feeling...

How can I practice becoming more aware of myself and will that awareness keep me from getting into trouble? Will it make me more successful in life? I've tried to become more and more aware of myself, which has resulted in a realization that I am deeply asleep! I am beginning to see that I can't possibly have any "willpower" in this state of psychic sleep. Now what? Can you tell me, in a nuts...

My life seems like an endless string of thoughts by which I know myself. I wonder if it's really even possible to live a thought-free life. How do I start knowing without thinking?...

It seems as though there is always some kind of struggle going on in me -- pulling me in one direction or another -- and I get completely caught up in trying to choose which of the tormentors is best! How can I find a stillness or peace that would bring lasting relief from the daily struggle and stress that run my life?...

In my job I must deal daily with a couple of dozen emotionally dark co-workers. I can tolerate just so many of these kinds of people per day (as we all have to), but a couple of dozen is just too many for me to take. What can I do to handle this situation better besides getting another job? How can a person feel in charge of his own life one minute, and in the next minute find it in someone el...

Someone I loved dearly was murdered recently. I am able to see what seems like thousands of thoughts and have noticed when just one thought takes me away into the darkness. To come back to just noticing and watching these thoughts enables me to accept my feelings without allowing them to drown me. But what I would like to know is, does my soul feel a forever kind of loss of him? Or is the grie...

As I get older, I find it harder to take full pleasure in life's joyful, renewing experiences. There always seems to be a sense of emptiness that soon follows. Is there such a thing on this earth as real, lasting renewal? I have been able to put aside my habitual self-involvement more and more frequently, yet I'm actually beginning to worry about what life will be like without my mind's usual...

There is one question that has been on my mind for awhile. Since we are spiritual beings, don't we have the right to kill ourselves like King Saul in the Bible? Or are we imprisoned in the physical form until death desires to come? I desire death of the body now... can't I just do that? Since we do not belong in this world anyway, what is wrong with committing suicide? I'm afraid I will be swa...

I'm beginning to think that the conflicts raging in the world are just an expression on a larger scale of how it is that when I hurt someone with my callous behavior, I can't seem to remember how much it hurts to be on the receiving end. How do we even begin to end the cycle of conflicts on this earth? Where is compassion when we really need it? How do we forget so quickly to be the kind of pe...

I am taking the biggest risk of my life and am about to leave a long-standing job for a new business opportunity. Although I have basically kept my old job out of fear, there is quite a bit of fear in leaving the safety of the known for the unknown. Any ideas on how to make this new adjustment in life and how to quell the uncertainty? I'd like to be less fearful, more decisive... to do what I...

I am moved by your works, but I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ. Are you a Christian? Are your teachings based on the Bible that tells us Jesus was the son of God? Do you believe in the kingdom to come?...
