Guy's Letters

A few months ago, I read a book by Mr. Howard, who I understand was a teacher of yours. It mostly discussed the darker side of human interaction. Although I am very knowledgeable of these topics for some reason, I realized a whole another lever that disturbed me -- that of my so-called friends and family. More and more I see some very dark and selfish traits, and some that may even despise m...

After a loved one passed away, I began my spiritual quest. Soon after came an amazing and divine experience. In an instant every veil was lifted and I was given a gift; the ability to distinguish illusion from truth. I felt completely at peace and in a constant state of bliss. Fear was gone, and in its place was faith and knowing. All my "buttons" had disappeared -- conflict and anger seemed r...

I just finished listening to a talk you gave about spiritual debt. I think that I understood most of the talk, but at the very end you say something like: "You pay this debt by instead of trying to produce conditions for yourself that bring love or peace or kindness, you pay in the moment with that which feels incomplete, with that which fears, with that which would seek advantage over others.

Someone I love has hurt me deeply, betrayed my trust, and now I don't know how I should feel about this person. Should I forgive and forget, or try to find another who won't be the same way? Seems I can't get a hold on what should be happening here! What's to be done? (Student correspondence, 3/24/08)...

My father has had cancer for about two years. Neither of us talk about dying. When a nurse asked him about dying, he said he was afraid he wouldn't go to heaven. I would like to help in some way, but I'm also afraid to talk to him about it and I don't really know what I would say. After the death of my father, we began the arduous task of moving my mother to an assisted living facility. This...

Dear Guy, I appreciate beyond what I can express for all that you have done related to your work. I agree with what you have said from time to time that God is without cause (that we cannot do anything, "good" or "bad" to get God to act specifically towards us in the physical plane). The evidence in what we see in the world and in our own lives seems abundantly clear that this is the case, de...

I have listened to you Guy, now for years... and been inspired dramatically. When you speak to the wishes and dreams of our lives existing right here, right now in this very moment you do continue on to say something like "...I know this is difficult to comprehend..." It has occurred to me that you might address, in flexible order just exactly how that works, such as "You read what I say." You...

During a recent online chat event I asked you how I can stop getting bad bosses. You told me, "birds of a feather flock together." My boss is a stingy, heartless @#!%*!. I have given employees money out of my own pocket to pay for the bounced check fees that my boss has incurred, along with other ways of trying to protect them from him. I am not stingy and I treat them with kindness and respec...

When I look at myself, it seems that my most prevalent emotion is anger. It's always there. I frequently find myself caught up in remembering all the cruelty and unfairness that's been done to me. I know that indulging in this does no good, but I feel powerless to stop these raging thoughts. What can I do? I really am weary of my own out-of-control emotions. Before speaking to someone who inti...

You say not to deny fear or fight it or agree with it. Please explain. What do you mean by "walk through fear"? Can you explain what it means to be identified, and how it keeps us from seeing what is true? After certain negative events take place, I think I'll regain my peace of mind if I just "get even." How do I free myself from being overcome by such troubling thoughts? I still seem to get...

I have recently been confronted with a truth that I have been trying to deny for some time about the religious leaders that I have long trusted. They do not bring life, but rather they mislead and rob us of our intended life by diluting the truth and spin doctoring their power. Do I leave the church? Do I confront what is wrong? Or do I just remain silent? When going to church I have seen all...

I am trying to apply Light to a crisis caused by my husband's infidelity, and to not let fear or pain tell me what to do. I realize that I can only trust God, and that I am perfect in His eyes, but how can I not be in pain at the loss of trust and intimacy with my husband? Wasn't that what I was suppose to gain through marriage? I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for about five year...
