Student Q&A with Guy on "A Simple Three Word Instruction that Ensures Self-Liberation" (7/24/22)
Posted: Monday, July 25, 2022
Meeting: Sunday, July 24, 2022
Duration: 22min 7sec
Topics Covered
Liberation is simple. It is as simple as realizing the truth of yourself in any moment of feeling resistance.
Our present idea of being a successful human being is measured by the goals we outline that we think we must achieve in order to complete ourselves.
Built into humanity's current mindset is a preconditioned attitude of how the moment should be. We are not interested in going through anything that is unfamiliar or might make us uncomfortable.
If you want to be a new human being, you must have a new definition of what it means to be profitable. The true definition of what it means to be a profitable human being is "to ascend."
Do you leave each moment a little bit wiser than when you went into it? If you don't, then you have lost something that cannot be regained. But Life will give you the lesson again in another form. Whether or not the lesson is accepted is up to you.
Liberation is the revelation of and release from the consciousness that is asleep within itself, only interested in itself.
Wisdom is not in thought. It cannot be defined by anything at all. Wisdom is an undefinable relationship between the observer and the observed.
The potential for liberation already exists within you, waiting just beyond the part of you that resists that same liberation.
You cannot saying "No" to the experience of a moment without knowing beforehand everything about how the moment should unfold.
Liberation itself is within the context of your own life. Liberation is a living relationship with the divine that you are made in the image of.
It is impossible to protect a limitation and perfect yourself at the same time. The perfection is through liberation by transformation, not through acquisition.
There cannot be a seed to outgrow something without there being something that exists to outgrow. The husk is not a permanent limitation on the seed. The husk exists as a necessity so that the seed can break forth from the husk into something new.
"These things God has revealed to us through sprit, for the spirit searches everything, even the depths of God." -- New Testament
Three words that ensure liberation are "Just do it." Or if you want: "Step into it." Wisdom is the fruit of action.
You can't know what it is you are supposed to do before you do it. If you believe that you have to know everything about what you are supposed to do, then you are lost in the maze of the mind's interpretations, explanations and comparisons.
Liberation has nothing to do with the consciousness that wants. The very wanting is the slavery.
There is no liberation outside of participation in transformation.
Find out that already within you is everything that is needed in order to do what those limiting thoughts and feelings say you cannot do.
Learning everything that you can about your limitations is the only way that you will transcend them. The task at all times is for realization.
The revelation that produces the transformation leads to liberation.
There is no such thing as a bad fact about yourself.
When you understand yourself, you don't struggle with yourself, and when you don't struggle with yourself, you don't struggle with the world.
Take what you know is true and apply it to the moments when you know something untrue is happening to you.
