Letting Go with Guy Finley

Guy explains that every time we are identified with a negative state that is judgment day. We are judged, but not in a punishing sense. We are actually invited to see where we have acted from an imbalanced state.

Whatever we try to go around in ourselves guarantees it will come around again, which is why the things we fear in life and about ourselves always tend to reappear. Here’s the law that governs this relationship: whatever we resist in life persists as it does because whatever we oppose grows! In the New Testament,…

It’s a little-known secret that our experience of life in any given moment is a direct reflection of what we actually value in that same moment.
