The mind that wants to know the truth of something, and that's willing to do the work required for such a discovery, will inevitably find that for which it is searching; our highest aspirations are reflections of unrealized possibilities. All scripture, from the east to the West, confirms this timeless truth: We need only ask, and it shall be given.

Any lingering form of painful psychological resistance to some unwanted experience of life is the unconscious rejection of spiritual atonement.

Into what do we gaze when looking through telescope or microscope... other than into the yet discovered depths of our own consciousness? For whatever world we explore...

Without something to oppose it, what is any painful negative reaction... other than a temporary wind looking for a sail, a conflict passing through an unconscious mind...

Every once in a while, we have the great fortune of perceiving a moment of such astonishing beauty, or harmony, that we lose ourselves in it. But what is far more amazing...

Divine wisdom refreshes the soul by renewing its faith... but not faith in the hope of a time yet to come; rather it flourishes in the light of a ceaseless revelation...

There is an unseen source of daily suffering that is the constant companion of humanity. It is in one respect one of the great driving forces behind the darkness that encompasses this planet -- the unremitting wars, the violence, the greed, the fear, the desperation -- all the things we see in the world around us...

All of tomorrow's worries lie hidden in a moment of imagining -- and then identifying with -- some fearful thought as it threatens you with the possibility of a painful moment...

It's impossible to protect a fear and hope to free ourselves from it at the same time.

In this answer to a viewer's question, bestselling "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about a strange part of ourselves that actually thrives on the sensations it receives when it does something harmful. It is the very awareness of this inner dynamic that brings about the gradual end to all self-harming behavior.

Freedom cannot be found in the east, or to the west; it doesn't wait somewhere north or south of those who go there in search of it. It's neither here, nor there; freedom is found wherever the willing soul agrees to meet and confront a fear.

Being convinced to worry over some darkness that "might be" just around the corner is an unseen interior shell game; (it’s) a “play and lose” operation...

All forms of worry are nothing more than fear disguised as the intelligence we need to get us through whatever the moment feared.

Only by coming to know the Divine purpose of each moment in our life can we hope to play our part in the fulfillment of the purpose of Life itself...

One of the most slippery parts of the upper path is the temptation to judge ourselves -- to loath ourselves for whatever "weakness" is exposed to us in the moment. The act of judging ourselves in times like these seems natural and even necessary if we hope to ever "outgrow" our own limitations as revealed. But this kind of self-laceration is a Trojan horse within whose dark recesses lies...

• Meeting Date: July 31, 2022

In this answer to a viewer's question, bestselling author Guy Finley explains that freedom from fear does not come about through imagining what that freedom is. Our task is to enter into the moment as present to ourselves as we possibly can, and then to allow the intelligence that is inherent in the awareness itself to strengthen our understanding of the true purpose of each moment.

Nothing makes us more common, more like all those we constantly judge, than being identified with a false sense of self that would have us believe that -- by some “act of God” -- we're so much better than all we see.

Resistance to any moment -- meaning our reaction, and concurrent relationship to it -- BEGINS with the judgement of it.

The harsh, or otherwise cruel judgment of ourselves feels like it’s part of what’s necessary to perfect ourselves... when, in truth, it's actually a mechanical movement of an unconscious mind...

If thoughts are cheap, and negative states are a dime a dozen, then what does that tell us about any part of us that likes spending its time identifying with them?

Mistaking intruders for welcome guests in your inner home is not nearly as uncommon as you may think. Isn't it true that each of us knows firsthand this everyday experience? One minute you're walking along without a care in the world, and the next minute you feel as though you're carrying the entire world on your back! Your inner home, where you really live, has been temporarily...

Too often it happens that some people lose their interest in self-study. They give up on their inner work because they don't see the immediate results hoped for. If anything, in their growing awareness of what has always been their actual condition, it seems to them that they are now even deeper asleep than ever before...

We all want to be free of painful dramas in our life, yet refuse to see how we play a lead role in their daily appearance. Catching ourselves in a play of our own making...

To see all that I am... is to be all that I am; and when, at last, I am willing to see -- and to be all that I am -- there no longer remains any separate, isolated, lingering sense of self struggling to be, or not to be.

All unhappy reactions have an allotted time of life, and will pass away... but only as we learn to pass on identifying with their painful presence within us.

At some point, our appetite for a life that will satisfy or stimulate us can no longer be fulfilled by the life that we see around us. It just doesn't work anymore. We've tried and tried to find ways to feed ourselves, but what we have found (mostly) is that with all we've done from ourselves based on how we look at life, we never feel "I don't need anything more than this right now."

Unconscious identification with any pain from the past -- especially as it involves, or otherwise lends support to some negative perception of oneself -- is a slow-acting poison that, once ingested, soon darkens the soul and leads to its destruction.

The imagined time of “rest” we seek is, in fact, the same as an invisible burr beneath our saddle, as whatever form of comfort it is that still eludes us doesn't exist without some corresponding sense of discomfort that keeps spurring us on.

In this answer to a viewer's question, "Secret of Letting Go" author Guy Finley explains that it is not enough to simply say that you are no longer going to be deceived by negative states such as fear and anger. If you ever want to be free and in command of your own mind, then you must begin to taste the bitterness inherent in those poisonous negative states...

There is what we are given to do by this world, whatever those responsibilities may be; and then there is our right -- in any moment we remember to do so -- to give ourselves to what we love...

Every day we are attacked by a multitude of pains, so frequent and so familiar we don't even question them. In fact, we accept them as friends, as something to occupy us. These pains can range from petty irritations to the anxiety we feel every time we write a check and see our bank balance decrease, to concerns about our health. One of the major sources of pain involves other people and our relationships with them.

For those who love truth no door is locked, no secret is kept; all that is needed to be free is given... freely; and Life asks but one thing of us in exchange for this Gift: the willingness to unwrap ourselves...

In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley explains that a feeling of frustration with another person is the downstream effect of carrying around an image of ourselves as being perfect. Never blame another human being for how you feel. The condition that you blame for the painful feeling of impatience is not outside of you.

• Posted Date: August 04, 2022

The only responses to life's challenges that any of us "ride" are those we think can carry us to safety. Leaping onto the back of the dark horse of a fearful reaction, according to our old habits, is like entering a runaway carriage being pulled along by wild thoughts and pounding feelings.

Anybody can do what everybody else does. And what is it that most of us do, whether we want to admit it or not? We usually do the minimum to get the maximum. We can see it everywhere in the world. It's part of a culture today. But we can do so much better than that, and we must if we're going to change our destiny.

• Posted Date: July 27, 2022
• Meeting Date: July 27, 2022

Real freedom has no beginning or end, while fear can't exist without the beginning of something that will -- and must, under law -- come to an end.
