Letting Go with Guy Finley

Growing pains are required; they are inescapable for anyone who wishes to try on the larger soul. For something greater to be born, the lesser must pass. On the other hand, nothing is more useless than continually suffering the level of self that basks in bitterness, broken dreams, and the painful ambition that attends the…

By such retrospective you will make this glad discovery: the true meaning of giving is better found…

In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about an uncommon kind of sensitivity that is required of the sincere spiritual aspirant who wishes to know a freedom that cannot be assailed by any darkness. Click here to listen to “Release Yourself From the Insensitive Self”
