Student Q&A with Guy on "The One True Answer to Every Soul-Troubling Question" (3/22/23)

  • Posted: Thursday, March 23, 2023
  • Meeting: Wednesday, March 22, 2023

  • Duration: 23min 28sec

Topics Covered
  • The solution to the disturbance is built right into the disturbance itself. The antidote is in the venom.
  • The questions that appear in the face of a pain have been appearing to humanity throughout all time. These questions lead to plans that promise to get rid of the pain but only serve to intensify it.
  • You think it is "you" asking these questions because they are so familiar. But real 'I' would not ask questions that lead to confusion.
  • Everything in nature is self-reconciling because of its connection to the will that created it. Only human beings are cut off from genuine reconciliation because of blind obedience to the consciousness that can only dream about completing itself.
  • If we knew the right questions to ask, then we would have the answers.
  • The consciousness that asks how to find freedom gives itself the answer, strengthening the assumption that you are a captive in the first place.
  • The sudden revelation of seeing yourself as you are is initially without judgment. The judgment comes later as the mind starts thinking about what it should do about the revelation.
  • A revelation about yourself is a call to leave the level of consciousness that fights with the revelation and join that which revealed it to you.
  • Faith is understanding that there is nowhere to go and nothing to do in order to be made whole.
  • Faith allows the questions that are always asked about what to do about the disturbance to flower on their own.
  • A genuine question does not appear without the answer. The disturbance does not appear without that which reconciles it.
  • Who and what you are now is not separate from who and what you are created to be.
  • The mind becomes quiet when it sees that it cannot do anything about the disturbance that it has heretofore always tried to reconcile through its own actions.
  • The right action is inherent in the revelation, which is the same as release from the consciousness that is always anxious about what to do.
  • Freedom is not a better way to deal with what disturbs you. Freedom is the realization that the disturbance is part of the perfection of the soul, if we will be faithful to the revelation that comes out of the disturbance.

Never Apart

Because we are conditioned from birth to see, and experience ourselves as separate from -- "other than" -- what we imagine is needed to make ourselves whole, our search for this missing sense of holiness that we believe is somewhere "outside" of us... ensures we never realize it.

The real journey back "home" begins with a necessary shock: the painful end of this deceptive perception, along with the false sense of self imprisoned within its imagined realm.

So that, when all is said and done, our first step toward a conscious, "real-time" relationship with the Divine requires we not only agree to enter into this ensuing, unwanted sense of emptiness, but that we remain there until comes what has always awaited us within it: a realization that we have never been apart from the Holiness we seek, and that all along, the only thing missing from our search was the faith to prove the same.
