Student Q&A with Guy on "Start Using Negative Reactions to Assist in Your Spiritual Rebirth" (6/23/24)

Every time we have a rude awakening, the realization is quickly covered up with a new dream.

There is something in you that lives to make sure that you forget what you need to remember.

The problem with our model by which we will achieve endless happiness, is that the model does not stand the test of time.

Until you experience for yourself the fact that nothing dies, you will always be afraid of death.

Our present (mis)understanding of suffering just gives birth to more suffering. The real source of suffering is avoidance of revelation.

Nothing is fixed in real life. If it were fixed, there would be no life, everything would die.

Awakening is intended to bring us into a realization that the models we have created for ourselves do not work, and that a new model by which to live is needed, one which we cannot give to ourselves and that already exists.

Unless we begin to understand what is beyond resistance, we will never be present to the revelations that resistance plays a vital role in bringing about.

To live without a self-created model in a moment is to witness the completion of the moment, along with the role that resistance plays in that new creation.

The completion of resistance is the fulfillment of the conditions that give rise to it, and that that very resistance helps to perfect in that moment.

When resistance becomes personal it seems to prove to us that the moment should not be happening as it is.

The end of any addiction is seeing that what you thought was empowering you, was actually devitalizing you.

"Resist not evil" means "do not oppose what opposes you." Evil is the temptation to avoid revelation, which is what happens when we oppose what the moment brings.

Unnecessary suffering is created in the attempt to keep in place what you believe you need in order to avoid suffering.

Resistance to anything that you do not want proves that you cannot take your eyes off of that unwanted thing.

When you understand the purpose of resistance, you enter into a new relationship with it.

When there is no fear, you do not have to imagine freedom.

Pain itself is not suffering. Suffering is resistance to pain.
