Student Q&A with Guy on "Discover the Road Back Home that Begins and Ends in You" (6/24/22)

  • Posted: Sunday, June 26, 2022
  • Meeting: Friday, June 24, 2022

  • Duration: 21min 31sec

Topics Covered
  • Every creature in creation has a relationship with what is directly below it and what is directly above it.
  • Every creature at its center is brought into creation with an innate desire to seek out the initial cause of that desire.
  • "The central urge in every atom, to return to its divine source and origin." -- Walt Whitman
  • There is no such thing as static spirituality. You are either working and rising, or you are thinking and sinking.
  • "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and to know that place for the first time." -- T. S. Eliot
  • The mind looks to itself to find clarity when the mind itself is the source of the confusion.
  • We do not attain spiritual knowledge. We grow into spiritual knowledge while at the same time outgrowing who and what we have been.
  • Everything in creation is like a seed, being acted upon and undergoing a process of transformation. Everything is always being given what it needs to transcend its present form.
  • Everything that it is possible for a seed to become is already built into the seed. But the seed must be nourished in order to grow into its intended possibilities.
  • Become aware of the conflict in yourself instead of looking for something outside of yourself to blame the conflict on.
  • "The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice that which we are for what we could become." -- Charles Du Bos
  • Every moment is exactly what we need to outgrow what we have been and grow into what we are to be.

The Work of Awakened Waiting

Every cell in our body "waits" for the life-giving oxygen that must be replaced within it... moment by moment... though it cannot "know" what it waits on.

All flowers, each tree, "wait" for the sunlight they need to nourish themselves, though none "know" they wait on these celestial energies to nourish and sustain their life.

In much the same way, every human soul... waits on Love; but the truth of these thoughts stands barren without understanding the following:

Neither the cell, flower, nor the tree creates its own need. This longing is there before any creature takes form, finding itself already filled with a need it cannot, of itself, answer.

And so it is true of the soul: it too waits for what it needs to flower, openly embracing an ordained longing that -- like the sun, and its light -- is cause and effect at once. In the gradual realization of this understanding rests true faith... our "hope in things unseen."
