Letting Go with Guy Finley

Every flood begins with a single raindrop; the small streams they create become careening waters whose combined might washes away whatever stands in its path. All dark, destructive interior states begin with a single moment of unconsciously identifying with a negative reaction that soon turns into a torrent of tormenting thoughts and feelings. Your willingness…

Two very close friends, Karen and Sophie, went on a long-awaited vacation to a tropical island where, the first day, before that evening’s grand welcoming luau, they spent the whole day playing in the ocean. But early on that same evening, in the midst of all the great food and fantastic island music, Karen could…

A tree has many leaves, and the wind touches all of them in way or another. Some shake, some quiver, and some hardly move at all. Yes, the tree knows their trembling, but neither the wind nor the leaves it stirs are the tree that feels their touch. Thoughts and feelings are like leaves: learning…

If we wish to be one with a celestial consciousness, capable of responding with effortless wisdom to any demand—regardless of its nature, high or low—then all images of such a being must be thrown away. St. Paul provides us…

As we awaken to see and receive the inherent good of life that has been hidden in plain sight, so we realize the power to release our fear of unwanted events as surely as perfectly ripened apples fall away from their autumnal tree.

In this short talk, Guy Finley explains that any state which we call “love” that does not include some kind of sacrifice is actually a secret form of self-glorification.
