The Secret of Letting Go: A Journey of Soul Transformation with Bestselling Author Guy Finley
- Letting go has nothing to do with our exterior circumstances. What we have to let go of is anything that lends us an identity.
- There is no such thing as a healthy attachment. When there is a challenge to the attachment, then there is fear.
- With awareness of the pain of an attachment comes liberation from it.
- Letting go begins with awareness of how much it hurts to be attached. Awareness reveals the need to let go.
- Judgment seems to prove that we are separate from what is being judged.
- The more you give yourself to what you love, the more of that love you are given.
- A completely new definition of "success": Real success is freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.
- When you no longer think about yourself as being compassionate, you can be present to the pain of another human being.
- "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." -- New Testament
- Regret believes it can change the past that it sees, but it only becomes a victim of its own revisitation.
- Become a student of the suffering brought about by negative states, instead of serving those negative states.
