The only thing that discouraged feelings do is to keep you busy doing nothing except feeling sorry for yourself, which is the perfect guarantee that your sorry situation will remain hopelessly the same. Enough is enough! You don't have to put up with one more discouraging moment, let alone a life filled with its darkness. That's right. There is another choice you can learn to make besides fa...

Our attention is precious. Our attention may be the most important thing that we own, and almost none of us own any of our own attention. Anybody can take it. A phone call can take it. The news can take it. Look in the mirror and it can be stolen. I'm looking in the mirror and I don't look anything like I'm supposed to look, and if I look in the mirror and I don't see what I like, where does my attention go?

Question: My wife has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and probably a year to live. I am trying to take everything you've taught me and pull it all together so I can somehow go on. Should I tell her how much time she has left (because the doctors won't tell her, and she doesn't want to know)? Her priorities would maybe be different if she did know that time is very short.

Question: Thanks to your teachings, I have new understanding of how each experience reveals to me what I am in relationship with, and for the first time ever I see that I have the choice of knowing I am not thoughts of resistance, and that I don't have to follow any pull of false promises in challenging moments. I have seen a Presence that guides me, that allows an inner space in which to watch it all unfolding. This Grace has taught me that I am...

In this short talk given on New Year's Eve, Guy talks about the greatest mystery of this work, which is that the mind always wants to be in motion because it's trying to reconcile the disturbance from not being what I am, where I am, using thought in an attempt to reconcile the present disturbance with a future promise.

It's crucial for us to understand that the thrust of our habitual thinking lives with its attention fixed, not on beginnings, but on the end of things. Don't we always wonder what our lives will be like tomorrow? Aren't we forever dreaming about how different things will be once we win this or achieve that? Don't we, in our mind's eye, perpetually walk towards a brighter moment to come, thinking about how good we'll feel once we're able to resolve some...

The perfectly present moment is both the seed of who you are and of your experience of now. And just as you can't separate who you are from your experience of now, neither can you separate now from the real moment of change. They are the same. You can't end conflict later. You can't stop being sad, or cruel, or angry, or scared, or anxious later. Later does not exist in reality. This self-created, false concept of time allows it to create yet...

Perhaps you've worked hard to be more aware of yourself in the Now, and that for this effort you catch a glimpse of how quick you are to judge others, to criticize them for their "failings." This pain that strains you -- and those you touch with it -- is itself a creation of a false sense of your own perfection. But your awareness of its punishing presence within you is the same as your invitation to transcend the negative nature that is responsible for it.

What is one of the most limiting ideas that our physical senses report to us? The idea of time. "Time! Where's it going? I can't hold onto anything, try as I might: what I won; how you felt; the way she looked; the things I love..." Like the torrent of a strange river that vanishes from view as it rounds an impassable bend in a shadow-filled gorge, what is past just disappears, leaving only memory in its wake, itself subject to the ravaging passage of time.

Whenever we find ourselves in some "unwanted" part of ourselves, perhaps reliving an old heartache or caught in the throes of some irrepressible anger, old fear, or unyielding worry, part of this unwanted moment includes our certainty that we're trapped in this condition. And compounding our confusion over feeling ourselves captive in this way are all of the attending negative inner voices.

The more any thought pushes you to run toward a time of some anticipated rest, the more you should work to slow down to see the following truth: with one hand, an unconscious self points to a “peace just ahead,” even as its other hand is stirring up some form of anxiety that you might not get there!

What could be more natural than letting go? Think about it. If half of our life is spent meeting moments that are natural endings, then what are we to do with these things in our lives that can no longer serve us in a meaningful way? The answer? We must let them go! To do anything else would be unnatural, even unhealthy for us.

The easiest thing in the world is to walk around unconsciously feeling superior to everyone we meet. But with what do we measure? A critical spirit? A judgmental mind? What kind of eyes have to look down on another to convince themselves of up?

Every shocking revelation that we are given to see about ourselves is -- at its heart -- an unseen act of mercy; it is the herald of an order of forgiveness unimaginable to the human mind.

Spiritual blindness is not of the eye; (it is) the dark effect of being unconsciously identified with a lower level of consciousness that has no interest in looking beyond its own deeply conditioned beliefs... for fear of falling off the edge of the only world it knows.

On this one point all saints, sages, and illumined beings agree: there is nothing as certain as silence, stillness, and solitude to introduce you to the divinity within. The first step in learning to be still isn’t really an action at all, meaning that it’s nothing like we might ordinarily think of doing when we want our world to stop spinning like a top.

This world we live in is filled with increasing conflict. And the question is, is there any way in which we as individuals can become something that is not a continuation of this suffering so that by our own work we begin to be a different kind of human being? The answer is most assuredly yes, but to do so, we must first work at new understanding.

There are in existence, as part of creation, extraordinary primordial opposites. We know them as darkness and light, expansion and contraction, attraction and resistance. We don't know anything about resistance. What we know is to be ruled by resistance in our lives, instead of recognizing it as being part of a creative force meant for us to develop.

If you are engaged in an interior dialogue with yourself, you are not listening to Divine guidance. In this short talk, Guy talks about keeping it simple. The higher answer to the pain of difficult moments is to see the consciousness that is responsible for the pain, not in struggling to change all of the exterior conditions that are blamed as the reason for the suffering.

Once we learn what it means to see the truth of ourselves -- to accept each revelation as a herald of the healing it brings -- then we will not only understand what it means to accept each moment as it is given, but we will also learn to be grateful for what it has come to teach us about ourselves.

What's the first thing we see when we hear news that runs counter to what we want? The evidence suggests we don't really "see" anything at all; instead, our attention is seized, absorbed by a familiar negative reaction whose only wish is that the unwanted moment just go away. This resistance acts within and upon our consciousness as a "blinding" and binding force, so all we can "see" is our own negativity over what we wish wasn't...
