Guy's Letters

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 suppose to gain through marriage? I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for about five year...

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...

Could you give some insight into loneliness and how to abolish it? At times it seems to me that the more I realize about the awesome nature of spiritual love, the more loneliness I feel in my current human relationships. I long to share my discoveries with others, but who do I turn to? Sometimes I feel a deep loneliness in my heart. I know I have many tools to be happy, and the most important...

I am pregnant and I've already felt the strong precious being inside of me. Especially when I am praying I feel the Spirit in my child. What words of direction can you give to me about being a mother who nurtures and never crushes or hinders a child's awareness of the Truth? I desire for my child to be truly free from the inside out. I'm confused about whether or not to help my children learn...

How does one stay awake, so to speak, in the dream world of sleep? A major part of our life is spent sleeping in bed. Does our spiritual work continue while we are sleeping? Would you consider dreams part of the false nature, and if so, are they just to be observed rather than be used -- as commonly referred to -- as subconscious insights? Every night I have a recurring dream about two people...

What is the healthy and enlightened attitude to have towards my financial responsibility to my family? I find it hard to be at peace with the pressure of bills to pay. I can see how my mind is just reacting to anxious thoughts of dire circumstances that are not likely to come to pass, but of course, there are "real" consequences that can't be ignored. On the householder's path, I sometimes fin...

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...

My spouse of 25 years died. My heart is in pain, and though I know that God is here, I don't understand the purpose of life and such suffering. My father died recently and I find myself often slipping into thinking about my grief -- overcome with memories, regrets, and a sense of loss. Though I can't conceive of how it may be possible, I can't stop hoping that my father remains in God's love...

Would you please explain how it is that we form attachments that end up being painful to us? How can I work to give up my attachment to ideas that I know from my own experience don't work anymore?...

It seems that everywhere I go today, everyone has their own idea of what the Truth is and why I should support their idea or value system. So my question is, as best I can state it, what is Truth and how do I come upon it for myself? Ideas abound today about what the nature of Truth is...I don't know what to believe. Is truth simply subjective to each individual? In other words, is there only...

One maxim of self-development I sense is true is that the way out of any stressful situation is to "go through it." How does this approach apply to reducing stress-producing thought-attacks? How can I work to rid myself of these waking nightmares I have where I feel like life is going to crush me?...

Can you please explain how when somebody really makes you feel angry that you must forgive them for it? Does that not give them permission to do it more? How do I work to find forgiveness in my heart when the hatred seems so justified?...
