In this short video, Guy talks about how, when it comes to our relationships, the opportunity to do the right thing always exists, even when something tells us that it is too late.

• Posted Date: May 13, 2021

There do come to us in our lives, for any one of innumerable possible reasons, certain conditions that challenge the very fabric of our being. Certainly, none of us would think to ourselves, "I wish upon myself these difficult circumstances," and yet the truth is it is through and because of these same unwanted moments that we are granted the opportunity to meet parts of ourselves...

Just as all the qualities of the ocean can be found in a single drop of its water, so do all the infinite expressions of consciousness -- high and low, light and dark -- dwell within our True Self: each and all... a drop of the Divine.

Admitting to ourselves we are powerless to make permanent changes in ourselves is the true beginning of rising above all that troubles us about ourselves; for any and all such unadorned confession is the invisible entrance into another, higher order of being that is transcendence itself.

• Meeting Date: April 21, 2021

In this answer to a viewer's question, Guy talks about the true meaning and purpose of "religion," which is to "reconnect" with a higher level of ourselves that already exists, waiting to be discovered.

Following is a small excerpt from a "fireside chat" between Guy Finley and Dr. Ellen Dickstein as they explored the topic of The Power to Release Regrets and Get Over Guilt. Guy: We don't "learn" the way that we think we learn... which is by reliving things. No one learns anything by reliving a situation. Ellen: This reminds me of something you said that I found very interesting...

Peace of mind is not some “place” we can rush to; fulness of heart is not a possession to be claimed. We can only realize that these Divine gifts -- of a quiet mind and overflowing heart -- have already been given to us: an interior discovery which may prove to be the most difficult thing we will ever agree to do in this life.

You can't heal the pain of the past by talking to yourself about it... any more than you can collect spilled milk, ­and coax it back into the bottle.

• Posted Date: April 29, 2021

Every moment has a voice. The present moment is a voice. The moment is always communicating. It is the ground of communication between worlds, and it turns out to be the communication too. Have you ever been outside, lost in thought, and then suddenly seen something beautiful? Did not that moment of beauty communicate with you a quality that you weren't...

• Meeting Date: April 28, 2021

Spiritual wholeness is a living, timeless estate... inseparable from the Divine Light that reveals it in each passing moment; (it is) not a static condition... as in the imagined, painful idea of achieving some imagined sense of permanent personal satisfaction.

• Posted Date: April 28, 2021
• Meeting Date: April 14, 2021

In this answer to a viewer's question, Guy talks about how we do harm to ourselves and others with any action we take that has a motive behind it. When there is no self-motive, then there is only what is pure and good.

• Posted Date: April 25, 2021
• Meeting Date: April 25, 2021

Every truth ever discovered -- each new light that will ever burn bright -- already exists in our consciousness. All we will ever know and share about love, humility, compassion, and sacrifice -- the secrets that will reveal and then resolve old sorrows -- awaits us within ourselves. Hidden in this truth is our great promise, both as individuals and as a race of beings.

• Posted Date: April 22, 2021

The attempt to "save" ourselves -- to rescue and release the troubled "me" -- without first understanding just who and what this nature is that would save itself from its suffering, is the first real threshold over which the sincere aspirant must pass... since the presumption on the part of the seeker here is that he or she knows what's wrong with their life...

• Posted Date: April 21, 2021
• Meeting Date: April 07, 2021

In this short video, Guy talks about being self-conscious: thinking about how you should look a certain way or be a certain kind of person. Becoming aware of the pain inherent in thinking about yourself is the first step to freeing yourself from it.

• Posted Date: April 21, 2021
• Meeting Date: April 21, 2021

Every moment spent in the love of wisdom, accompanied by our wish to keep its company regardless the cost, helps us build an unseen but eternal bridge between the deepest and highest parts of ourselves...

• Posted Date: April 18, 2021
• Meeting Date: April 18, 2021

Being able to realize, and then release one's resistance to any unwanted moment does more than help to change the “dark tide” of that event; it reveals that within us already dwell the untroubled “waters” of a celestial harbor: the timeless shelter of an eternal Self that becomes the same as our own... but only as we remember to "leap" into the Now in which it forever dwells.

How many of you are short fused? We'll say it in other words. How many of you have virtually no tolerance for anything outside of what you want? On a scale of 1 to 100 degrees, what is your acceptable range relative to meeting moments? Is it something like 2 to 98? Or is more like 78 to 79? That's about it, isn't it? This tiny little bandwidth, and if anything even threatens to...

Hidden within the opposing forces is a Light -- a quiet Intelligence -- that cannot be induced to act against itself. Awakening to... and becoming aware of this Wisdom releases one from the bondage born of struggling to be, or not to be. Understood properly, all such opposing forces contain and reveal their own gateway...

• Meeting Date: April 04, 2021

In this answer to a viewer's question, Guy talks about how we are presently not in charge of our own mind, and what we must do in order to be free of its authority over us.

• Posted Date: April 11, 2021
• Meeting Date: April 11, 2021

All unconscious negative reactions -- with others, events, or with ourselves -- deflect this one crucial revelation: as long as we meet life with any compulsive demand or unseen craving, we can’t help but be painfully remanded into the hands of one self-punishing reaction after another...

• Posted Date: April 08, 2021

When you don't -- when you consciously won't -- express some negative state, you are literally asking for awareness of a higher self. Here's why... As you don't express that state, you become conscious of yourself as the ground upon which it is breaking as well as the presence of that visiting state. In this moment of new awareness there is something there inside of you, with you...

• Meeting Date: March 28, 2021

In this answer to a viewer's question, Guy explains that the task for us is not to try to suppress negativity through our own effort. Instead, the task is to watch, to be aware of the negativity so that its actual harmful nature can be revealed. Awareness already knows what to do with negativity without us having to think about it.

At every possible moment of crossing over into a new and higher level of consciousness, standing at the gate between each spiritual kingdom, there is a faultless, infallible celestial guard. His authority is absolute; it is backed by nothing less than the Balance of All There Is...

• Meeting Date: April 04, 2021

Understood properly, the momentary awareness of any shortfall in our character is really a Divine intervention; where, by a Light that “dwells in a darkness that knows it not” we are given a glimpse of a truth that cannot be known otherwise...

• Posted Date: April 01, 2021

There is a nature inside of us -- a product of this world physically and psychologically -- that does not want to change. In fact, it is hell-bent on having everything remain the same so that it can complain about the same things again and again. This unconscious nature is a product of our world physically and psychologically. It's almost like a wrapping -- much like a seed is encased...

• Meeting Date: March 31, 2021

All forms of anxious rushing through life are the painful effect of an impossible task: trying, in vain, to complete ourselves... by serving an incomplete, compulsive nature that always has one more task to get through before it can rest in its imagined place of peace.

• Posted Date: March 30, 2021
• Meeting Date: January 10, 2021

In this short video, Guy explains that whenever we have the painful feeling of being alone, we are actually keeping the company of something within us that is resisting the moment as it is.

• Meeting Date: March 28, 2021

If it feels like the same unwanted moments keep coming around... think again: reality never repeats itself; creation is always new...

• Meeting Date: March 26, 2021

In this one-minute wisdom video, Guy talks about how we already have everything we need to fulfill our purpose, if only we will allow ourselves to be revealed by the light that transforms everything it touches.

• Posted Date: March 26, 2021
• Meeting Date: February 14, 2021

In this short video clip, Guy talks about two words that we can use in our relationships with others for the purpose of exposing the part of us that wants to gain a personal advantage at the expense of what is true.

• Posted Date: March 25, 2021

One of the sad reasons why so few men and women persist in the inner work necessary for higher self-discovery is because we have all become -- to one degree or another -- either an unwitting captive of, or willing participant in, what can only be described as a descending scale in the meaning of life. More simply stated, over time our values have been subtly shifting away from...

• Meeting Date: March 24, 2021

There is an order, an unshakable peace we can know... but only if and as we agree to its Presence in us. And when we are aligned with its “ place" in Time, everything is done for us, exactly as it should be, in its time...

• Meeting Date: March 21, 2021

We have no greater Friend in life than that small part of us that loves what is True. The more we are able to recognize and honor the fact of this matter, the more powerfully does this interior Friend step forward... And prove to us the value of our love for it.

• Posted Date: March 18, 2021

What happens when we see things about ourselves that we don't want to see? In order to avoid looking at itself, the mind will seize on the anger, impatience, grief, loneliness, or anxiety it has seen... and it will try to explain it. It will take the initial darkness, the negative energy, and because it seems to be so bad, the mind will make something out of it that it can deal with...

• Posted Date: March 17, 2021
• Meeting Date: March 17, 2021

In this short video, Guy talks about how life itself never attacks us. Rather, real life is always trying to attract us to a new understanding that leads to a new life.

• Posted Date: March 17, 2021
• Meeting Date: March 17, 2021

Fearful, negative reactions see only what they need to see in order to run away with our life. But, we have another set of eyes that -- once opened -- can see right through these painful shadows of unwanted moments trapped in the past...

• Posted Date: March 14, 2021
• Meeting Date: March 14, 2021

We live within... and under an unseen Law: whatever we resist -- deny or reject -- about our past is destined to become a part of our future...

• Posted Date: March 11, 2021

Have you ever noticed that when you're under the cloud of some negative state, what you do to try to "make things better" actually makes the situation worse? Struggling to free yourself from your own negative reactions is a bit like throwing gasoline onto a fire, isn't it? Recognizing that you get trapped in this pattern of taking action that neither relieves nor rescues you from...

• Posted Date: March 10, 2021
• Meeting Date: February 14, 2021

In this answer to a webinar attendee's question, Guy explains that trying to prepare and rehearse what we are going to say or do in a moment is the same as living in fear of the moment. Instead what we need to do is make the intention to see everything that we can so that we can leave those moments as wiser, more awake human beings.

There is an inevitable suffering inherent in any world governed by self-interest, and then there is a suffering born of dying to that level of consciousness that bears only bitter fruit. To become (as) One we must die to being two...

• Meeting Date: March 07, 2021

There is no desire within which isn’t hidden -- much like the fabled Trojan horse -- some form of unseen pain that is its “partner in time. Things are the way they are, because we are the way we are...

• Posted Date: March 04, 2021

Do you have storms in your life that haven't passed? Storms that were formed when you were 4, 8, 12, 15, 20 years old? Pains, resentments, fears that remain in conflict in the center of your being? We live in a very peculiar state of being. We live with pain, heartache, grief, and fears that go on and on. And not only do they go on, but they actually tend to get worse...

• Meeting Date: March 03, 2021

The mind, emptied of its attachments, fears nothing, while the mind full of wanting and not wanting spends all of its time afraid of... everything.

• Meeting Date: March 01, 2021

In this short video, Guy explains that there is a treasure hidden inside all of us, and that part of this treasure includes the understanding that we are not who we think we are.

• Meeting Date: February 28, 2021

The more we don’t want to experience some unwanted moment, including the memory of one, the more real and protracted becomes the pain we feel, but not for the reasons we believe make it so. The pain in any negative reaction does not exist apart from the struggle of an unconscious self...

• Posted Date: February 25, 2021

Would you like to make the most out of every moment of your life? If we want to make the most out of every moment of our life, we have to let every moment in our life touch us. We have to learn to listen to it, to receive it. If we want to be lifted by it, we have to let it hold us. But instead of being touched by moments, we're touched by thought. We're touched by irritation...

• Posted Date: February 24, 2021
• Meeting Date: February 24, 2021

Unconscious opposition to unwanted moments can never change the condition being opposed because the lower nature responsible for mounting this opposing force not only remains unchanged, but resists all that it does in order to ceaselessly re-create itself...

• Posted Date: February 23, 2021
• Meeting Date: February 07, 2021

In this question and answer dialog, Guy talks about how regret over our actions does not change anything, while genuine remorse is connected to an awareness of our actual powerlessness, which allows for real change to take place.

Attending to, completing what the present moment asks of you... is the business of real Life. In the silence of this relationship is revealed and received, all at once, the wisdom and wealth of your True Self...

Every moment is the right moment to start seeing ourselves as we are... regardless of whoever may be our "partner" of the moment. Maybe it's the person in that long line with us, complaining about how slowly things are moving. There's no better time to practice seeing yourself than when some part of you can't wait to "pounce" on the impatience of someone else. How about being ...
