Once we learn what it means to see ourselves, to accept every impression as the herald of the new self-knowledge that it brings, then we will not only understand what it means to welcome each such revelation...
View ContentSpiritually speaking, all relationships serve one purpose: self-knowledge. And self-knowledge, in turn, serves a single purpose: discovering the truth of oneself...
View ContentReal freedom isn't the ability to imagine an endless series of solutions to old problems, but to awaken the higher understanding that allows us to transcend the need we have to live with any painful problem at all...
View ContentIt's always the right time to discover something new and true about our own nature...
View ContentOur lives, as they are, are less than half of what they are intended to be. We can recognize that something is clearly missing. Often, even though we come up with: "It's him," "It's her," "It's this," or "It's that" which is clearly missing, it turns out that we may even get these things, and things still seem to be missing in our lives...
View ContentNo psychological reaction is a call to action; it is merely a momentary manifestation, and therefore part of the revelation of the level of consciousness from out of which it has come...
View ContentBeing is a conscious relationship with what is now; knowledge is a relationship with what was, the conditioned content of the past...
View ContentKnowledge doesn't exist without the past, while the Light of higher self-awareness has no past.
View ContentWhen fear creates morality, as well as the rules governing them, there is no longer morality... and it is fear that governs...
View ContentQuestion: My partner and I have had so many painful experiences along the spiritual path, encountering people and paths promising at first and then proving to be so empty! In all honesty, one hardly has the heart to keep going...
View ContentDo you know people who, when things are going well for them, but things are going bad for you, will tell you: "Let go and let God"? Doesn't it drive you crazy? They got a check that day or they lost a few pounds, or it's a good hair day, or whatever it is, and they say, "Let go and let God." And of course, if they could see, you want to throttle them at that moment for their insensitivity...
View ContentOnce we understand that all forces -- even the seemingly contradictory ones -- are secretly complementary, we stand on the threshold...
View ContentJust as the Light of Truth is timeless, so too are its Laws...
View ContentThe proof that every moment - including the most painful of them - is unlimited in its Divine possibility is that one soul perishes for the fear of them, while another (soul) is perfected, and liberated by the same. Simply put, that means that every single moment of our life holds within it, if you will, a kind of fork in the road. "I came upon a fork in the road and I took the one that was least traveled."
View ContentThe unwanted moments that move in-and-out of our lives are like shadows that pass through a forest on a sunny day...
View ContentQuestion: I have been having a bad problem with losing my love and ambition for listening and making music. Music is discipline and I have dedicated most of my life to it, but recently I have seen my ambition for it -from practicing my instrument to enjoyment of listening it - go to zero. I actually played a gig recently and found myself not enjoying what I was doing. Any advice on how to get the love back?
View ContentWithin each of us lives a tireless, latent longing to touch -- and be touched by -- life's invisible celestial forces. For instance, whenever we stand as a silent witness to the endless expanse of a dark night sky, we are inwardly moved by this outer display of timelessness spread out above us...
View ContentJust as the eyes that see the sun cannot understand its light by which they behold the shape and beauty of all things, neither can the heart understand the love that calls it to know and encompass all things...
View ContentNo negative reaction has the power to release you from what it blames for your pain in that moment...
View ContentBeing renewed by Life, and starting life all over are one and the same superior, interior action...
View ContentSpiritually speaking, we have but one problem: we are unable to see that the source of our conflict with life...
View ContentYou can be self-enlightened instead of self-frightened. You have a choice. This discovery that you can always choose in favor of yourself is real excitement. You do not have to accept your present life-level. Life-level is what determines whether you sail through this life or sink in it. At present, it may seem to you as if there are times when you don't have much choice in your own life. I want you to know that this is a lie...
View ContentQuestion: My ex-husband is a drug and alcohol addict. The alcoholism has especially worsened over the past several years. I covered it up for years with others, then could do it no longer. I now receive punishing e-mails from him every week. It is affecting my sleep, health, serenity, and a new relationship. I have asked him to stop, and it does nothing, but I don't want to get attorneys involved. Do you have any thoughts on the best path forward?
View ContentThe present moment and our awareness of whatever may be passing into and through it are one consciousness...
View ContentThe witness to experience is not bound by it...
View ContentQuestion: I often overtalk in conversations and am working hard at engaging in give-and-take conversations where I say a few things and then stop and wait so the other person can give a few of their thoughts. To do otherwise can lead to excited talking non-stop, which sounds selfish. What can one do to remedy overtalking?
View ContentNothing in the universe can make you relive some painful moment from your past as long as you choose to live in a self-renewing awareness that remembers the following truth for you: no old dark thought has the power to define you, let alone drag you down.
View ContentLight, love -- all that is good and holy -- already exists. All the wisdom you and I will ever need already lives within us. It's just that we are not where the wisdom is. Why? Because we want to know, to prove, to get. We want to be seen as something special. All of us with that mindset are set to suffer ourselves until one day we see, "This doesn't work." In that same moment the epiphany comes, and suddenly we can see what we have been...
View ContentLife is change; it is creation revealing itself. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its Divine design, or...
View ContentThe (Light of) Love never makes a mistake... but, in fact, never fails to “remake” the heart of whoever not only agrees to embrace the truth it reveals...
View ContentAny moment of real change is the past made perfect through the reconciliation of the will of Heaven acting upon the will of earth, and in that union creating the birth of a brand-new creature. Any moment of real change is the past made perfect. Not the past reconfigured, disguised as some new plan, but the past made perfect - and the past is made perfect in this intersection of what is perfectly celestial and timeless in its activity working upon...
View ContentEither we have command over our negative reactions or -- without ever knowing so -- our reactions take command of us...
View ContentThere is a part of us that summarily rejects the moments when we see -- by a light that we would rather not see -- our actual condition. And in that moment of helplessness, we have a choice to recognize that were it not given to us in that moment by something greater than what we don't want to see, we would never be able to see it... and never have the opportunity to transcend ourselves...
View ContentBecause we are conditioned from birth to see, and experience ourselves as separate from -- “other than” -- what we imagine is needed to make ourselves whole, our search for this missing sense of holiness that we believe is somewhere “outside” of us... ensures we never realize it...
View ContentIf you are among the chosen few, the Almighty will prove your pride to be pointless; but, if you're among the truly fortunate ones -- who choose to be chosen -- you will be forever thankful to the Divine for showing you the truth of this unthinkable revelation...

View ContentIn this short talk, bestselling "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about what it means to wake up from spiritual sleep, which does not include comparing ourselves to what the world says it means to live an awakened life.
View Content Download AudioAs difficult and shocking as it may be to consider, within us dwells a certain level of unconscious desire that loves... to not want. It has but one purpose: This part of us "lives" to resist anything that doesn't live up to its expectations. Why would anything want to live like that? Because what this dark nature likes most of all is being negative!
View ContentThe awareness of the whole of ourselves is the cancellation of time... for in this undivided state of consciousness no memory is needed to produce a sense of self...
View ContentBecause we are literally defined by our desires, we are confined to an unseen house of pain that, in turn, has transformed our fertile planet into a prison filled with frustrated inmates...

Guy's path to spiritual awakening, marked by encounters with enlightened mentors and a pivotal moment with Vernon Howard...
View ContentI am always surprised by your strength -- by how happy I am to be too weak to do anything except completely accept you. What is this power of yours? How shall I understand it? Are you a Gathering Force? When you come, do you collect all the parts of me that have wandered off high and low looking for you... somehow drawing them all into one place wherein their deep peace is that they once again know that they need never look for anything...
View ContentIn this brief Q&A session, "Secret of Letting Go" author Guy Finley talks about bringing an end to the painful position of thinking that life owes us something, and what it would mean to have real gratitude.

View ContentWhen we talk about making changes in ourselves, it could be said that it's like climbing a mountain. Why is the mountain a metaphor for spiritual change? There's a certain kind of effort necessary for climbing, isn't there? Also, the mountain represents a higher view. Because as you ascend the mountain, not only does the atmosphere change in terms of becoming more rarified, but every step higher up the mountain produces...
