Topics covered:  We have been educated, inculcated, and conditioned to believe that our task is always to appear as if we know who we are and what we're doing, and anything that would challenge that is immediately seen as an enemy. But in this work, that nature that would hide its weakness is the enemy, because it ensures that we never bring into the light of understanding that which alone can change and transform that nature that lives with that kind of weakness and works to hide it; A weakness becomes a strength when it changes everything that individual is in relationship with. Anything that changes inside of a person changes the whole relationship they're in from that moment forward.

Topics covered:  We have fallen into a state where we have no knowledge of what we're living under internally; When something takes over your attention it also takes over your intention. This is how your original intention becomes an accidental intention; An accidental life changes nothing except for the kinds of accidents we have.

Topics covered:  The antidote is in the venom. Likewise, the answer that you look for to ease a pain is not outside of the moment that the pain appears; It is the way that you see the moment that produces the feeling of being seized by it; Does a moment itself, as it is, have any psychological weight? No, the weight is in the consciousness that struggles against the moment.

Topics covered:  Guy’s live show interview on the podcast The Minimalist; Being able to speak the Truth isn’t the same as being a man or woman of Truth; Everything about the context of our life is in time and that’s not the proper context for a human being. Your nature is not in time but your life presently is because you are identified with all the things that thoughts generate.

Topics covered:  No one is ever going to save themselves;  Our minds create the illusion that we are separate from the condition that is being judged;  You don't know who you are without not wanting to be who you are. You don't know who you are without a time to come.

Topics covered:  The last thing that we want are recurring shocks. There is a part of us that does not want to be disturbed, a part of us that avoids disturbances at all costs; The negativity that we blame on the condition was there before the condition came along to stir the negativity to the surface; Something in us believes that we have a right to be negative because we would not be negative were it not for the condition or the person that is disturbing us.

Topics covered:  Resistance to the moment does not prove that you know what the moment is about; You believe that you can get away from yourself. But the object that the mind is trying to get to does not exist without the subject that makes it; Perfect love casts out fear because it takes you out of the equation. Love comes when the self ends. Knowing is antithetical to love.

Topics covered: When you really don't understand, then your mind is still: The line of thought is inseparable from the line of time that gives rise to it; You are sure that you understand what is wrong with the person you are arguing with; When you think you understand, your mind is anxious and racing; There is something unconscous in us that moves us, and we did not initiate that movement...

Topics covered: It is very unnatural to have an unexamined life; It feels to most of us as if life is always asking, "What are you gonna do? How are you gonna handle that? What's next? What about this and what about that?"; Tension seems to demand that you respond to it; So much of our time is spent trying to sort out why we feel the way we do; The mind is always disturbed because it never stops comparing...

Topics covered: Awareness and my capacity to attend to my actual state is what allows that state to change; This present level of consciousness apprehends the world and its relationships through an unconscious process of separation; Life is not happening to you.
