Student Q&A with Guy on "Enter the Gateway to Your Greatest Spiritual Possibilities" (5/7/23)

  • Posted: Sunday, May 7, 2023
  • Meeting: Sunday, May 7, 2023

  • Duration: 43min 37sec

Topics Covered
  • If the world was capable of providing you with genuine fulfillment, then it would have done so a long time ago.
  • The explanation of a spiritual truth is not intended to become a soothing affirmation. The explanation is intended to lead to interior exploration and real participation in your own life.
  • Blame is you not helping me to be what I think I need to be. Fault is always found in something outside of us that seems to be in the way of us getting what we want.
  • The more you are willing to act on your own to continue your development, the more you draw to you synchronistic events that allow you to do so. "Someone" is watching you and meeting you more than halfway.
  • Reliance on others is fear of your own perceived inadequacy. It is the fear itself that is inadequate. The unseen sense of feeling inadequate would not even exist without comparison.
  • Wanting to control another person is born out of a sense of inadequacy that in turn is born out of comparison.
  • We were born into a world in which we were convinced that we have to be like someone else. Wanting to be someone else runs deep in the consciousness of humanity.
  • Who you already are is being given everything you need to be free. Who you already are is intended to be revealed, not fashioned into something to be admired.
  • Beliefs are a misdirection away from the direct experience of life, which already has perfect instruction built into it, put there by the intelligence that created it.
  • You don't have to figure out how to be a real human being. Being a real human being is already built into you. What makes you into something unreal is the attempt to become something.
  • Who you really are right now is the seed of who you are in the moment to come.
  • Are you ready for your Herculean task? You already know what it is. How about the Herculean task of giving up that sarcastic remark? How about the task of suffering the judgment of others in silence? How about the task of not consenting to wallow in self-pity? How about the task of not rushing? Identify one that stands out for you.
  • We keep the consciousness that we don't want in place by the very act of not wanting it. Resistance is identification.
  • There is no possibility in the past. There is no true reconciliation in comfort.

The Courage to Be Free

Regardless of how one may feel in any given moment, real life can present no task before us for which we are "inadequate." Yes, we may be unprepared at its outset--just as a leaf-bare late autumn tree can't know, in advance, the weight of a heavy winter snowfall until its branches bend and maybe even break beneath it. But no tree is its limbs, and neither are we made less for what we can't do or carry when first challenged by something that seems too great for us to handle.

Our truest strength lies in our ability to realize that whatever our present weakness may be, it is only temporary, provided we are willing to persist, to wade into what seems greater than we are, and to test this truth time and time again.
